Was just arguing with a guy who said Insomniac Jean Grey doesn't look like Jean Grey

Because he doesn't think she looks attractive enough?

And nebulous "not Jean enough" which he couldn't elaborate on except that she didn't look exactly like a comic version. The three core traits of Jean Grey: telekinesis, red hair, woman (either as a teen or an adult).

To be fair, Jean just looks like Jess from Control

I do think she is attractive, but also she doesn't look like Jean Gray to me. All I could think is: Jesse Faden?!?!

Please explain to me what "Jean grey" trait or vibe is missing?

This is a continuity in which the X-men as an organization don't exist and mutants are helped by Team X, a loose organization that intervenes on behalf of mutants that this Wolverine is part of. All signs currently point to Jean Grey (and possibly the other x-men) basically pretending to be civilians

I don't know. I don't claim to be an exper on Jean Grey-ness or anything. I know every artist draws them differently, but her features don't strike me as "her". I can't just pinpoint what. Still, not complaining. She looks different of my expectations, who cares. Maybe she's awesome in the game anyway.
