12 Stupidest Decisions Made By Characters In X-Men Movies
3. Jean Chooses To Die - X2
The floodgates have opened: the torrent of water has killed Stryker, and the X-Men are about to depart for a good old knees up. That is until fate intervenes and one of the X-Jets engines suffers a malfunction. Jean hops off the plane, and the rest of the X-Men watch as she protects them from the gushing tides with a telekinetic shield, and kickstarts the jet motors. With everything all taken care of, she stops the shield unleashing a colossal downpour of water onto herself. She saves the X-Men, but she dies. Her self-sacrifice is admirable and obviously courageous, but considering the fact theyre all mutants with an array of skills between them, she didnt have to die. Nightcrawler was onboard. She couldve told him the plan, and asked him to teleport outside to retrieve her the second the shield fell. But no, she needed to do it alone, causing a domino effect which was the foundation for The Last Stand. Silly Jean.
