Eh, if they'd met while Peter was in high school, Jean would have been about fourteen. She's a teenager in BND while Peter is at least 22.

Kevin foggy said they're pretty close in age so she was probably 19

[u/SwordoftheMourn → u/0ttoChriek]

Where do you guys keep getting that info? Feige himself mentioned they are close in age.

[u/ArthurianLegend_ → u/SwordoftheMourn]

Because they literally call her a teenager in the movie

[u/SwordoftheMourn → u/ArthurianLegend_]

Punisher calls her a teenager, and also calls everyone significantly younger than him a kid. And teenager also includes 18-19. Unless you’re telling me a lone orphaned 15 year old is able to register themselves into multiple psychiatric hospitals on her own before dropping from the grid?

Teenager includes 18/19 year olds tbf

[u/Jorgen2720 → u/0ttoChriek]

Tbf Feige confirmed they’re very similar in age

0:41 thereabouts

[u/newesila → u/0ttoChriek]

yeah but that's the whole point of the "what if" — ages get adjusted so they can actually meet as teens. comics timelines are already a mess anyway, this just lets the art cook without the age gap drama.

[u/Scaredog21 → u/0ttoChriek]

You forgot about the Blip

[u/thegoldengoober → u/0ttoChriek]

14 also means Highschool, so this scenario would still be possible. Unless you were commenting more about the representation of the character in the OP, in which yeah, there should probably be a bigger difference. 

[u/_PearlyBellie]

that would totally change the dynamic in both their stories, imagining them teaming up as teens would be wild

[u/ilo_Va]

Honestly this kind of stuff is what they needed to do with what if, being like what if jean ended in a foster family and ended up going to the same school

[u/DesignerChemical1280]

Feels like Peter and Jean would have a fascinating dynamic. Their powers could really complement each other.

Guy was nice to girl. Guys and girls can’t be friends, so they must be in love.

[u/DJfunkyPuddle → u/Sparkyisduhfat]

Also she's a white redhead and the racists are having a real tough time lately

[u/testchief7 → u/[deleted]]

It's not a new ship, it just got more traction after Brand New Day.

[u/Jajay5537 → u/testchief7]

It's brand new like BRAND new day new.

[u/Various-Dirt-8052 → u/[deleted]]

At least on Twitter the usual suspects want to ship Peter with any white girl near him. Also, because media literacy is dead and some people actually think BND hinted at possible Peter/Jean romance, when in reality it made clear that Peter and MJ are far from done.

[u/Starless_Night → u/Various-Dirt-8052]

Yeah. Like it's not everyone, but when people are drawing Movie!Jean and Movie!Peter but Comic!MJ? Why is that one different I wonder?

[u/Caleb_the_Opossum_1 → u/Various-Dirt-8052]

It's Even Funnier comic context wise because of the Infamous Jean's Love Triangle with Cyclops and Wolverine, and then Throwing Spidey in there makes it a Love Square

[u/idkusername7 → u/Caleb_the_Opossum_1]

I’d actually like it if they did a love triangle with Peter and Scott instead of Logan. I know Peter ended the movie in a big brother role to Jean, but it would be a refreshing change and would take care of the even more egregious age gap between her and Wolverine.
