I'm not sure how to describe this, but I didn't like Jean Grey and found her portrayal a unbelievable and inconsistent.

Why would what aunt May said reach her knowing what she did to people and especially with her reaction to Frank's memories of his family being murdered in front of him just being a little funny quip.

Especially hated how vague on purpose they made hers and Peter's dialogue just to create fake tension.
Not counting the fact that Pete might have without too much difficulty figured out that something was going on, all she had to do was mention her sister and her main antagonist would have helped her save her.

She was just very cruel and making sociopathic comments all the way through I just can't see what May said touching her in any way.

May was being the mother that she didn't have.

Jean and her sister talk about their mother abandoning them once they got their powers. Jean even tries to rationalize it as what else could her mother do.

Jean and Peter are also both living lives of isolation. Jean only had her sister so it doesn't take much for her to turn antagonistic. Peter had a stronger foundation, but even he starts to slip, he throws Scorpion into a police car and nearly kills the officer inside.

Peter is able to find his way back because he finally reaches out and interacts with MJ and Ned. He has a friend. That's all Jean needed. Jean needed someone, she needed a friend.

When Jean sees Peter's memory she sees the kindness she's been missing. She tries to dismiss it as just a memory, but Peter says he'll be her friend. Jean wants to be a good person, but if everyone treats you as a monster, you act like a monster.

To add onto Mimicjar. Jean was inside Peter and I assume she got to feel like what it means to be loved by a mother and be someone with powers. Peter did not let himself get consumed even though everything pointed to him doing so. Frank was an example of what Peter could turn into, a cautionary tale. She was in both of their heads and chose Peter’s path.

She TOOK Frank's mind. Peter let her in... on his terms. Her personally curated the experience for her to make the things that mattered to him harder to skim.
