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. That I can agree with/ And don't get me wrong, I ADORE the Phoenix. (Personality and power wise and what not), but I would just love to see Jean be herself and not rely on it, which at least gives her a bigger chance to not die. :)
