You're asking for too much.

I agree with Henry Pym. (True for so many things in my life :P) Lol. Not really. But I guess it's too complicated for them. XD Asking for a character to stay alive in comics is like asking a comic to decide weather someone truly dies.

It doesnt usually happen in mainstream comics :/ Ok, I get that she never TRULY dies, but Jean has died a total of 13 TIMES. That's more than any other comic character. It's no that difficult for them to NOT KILL HER OFF, they choose to do it because it's easy and convinient and probably expected at this point. She was Jean before she was Phoenix. She doesn't need Phoenix, nor does she need to become Pheonix in every comic. Meaning, they don't need to kill her everytime. Leave her as Jean for once. Both are just as interesting as the other. XD There exists a point in some characters where they're stuck in a loop of stories.

Hank Pym had this loop with Ultron constantly being involved(Not sure if it was eventually resolved or not, but too many times a writer recycled this plot), and Jean has the Phoenix as a "loop". Its something that's good at first, but writers tend to overuse them.

Young Jean was about to resolve this finally and show that you can do a Jean Grey story without Phoenix and still be a good story, but then Young Jean became a very annoying/rude person(Iceman's outing. The way she acted there is terrible.).

The thing is that since Phoenix Jean is so OP, leaving her out of stuff is one of the only ways to keep stuff exciting. But I believe a good writer can even work with this.
