I love X-Men but this didn't make me angry.

This is when shes young, before her powers truly manifest into something huge, which we see near the end of the movie. Xavier is probably out doing whatever, maybe tracking down Colossus or Nightcrawler or whomever at this time, and once her powers explode, the Professor is like "wtf?" before going to find her. Its before he has the Blackbird and before he has Cerebro so they are just out there trying to track down people based off stories they are hearing about them while traveling commercial air.

Or, at least, this is what I tell myself? I dunno, it just didn't bother me since she was so young.

It fit this version of the character. Jean and her sister get abandoned by their family, have to live in the streets and fend for themselves, sister gets captured/tortured/killed, and she is being hunted by shitty people. Seems like she acted fine lol.

Since she was already in New York I was surprised they didnt have her going upstate to the Xavier school or getting some kind of contract from Xaiver inviting her to the school as an end credit teaser.

The actress/casting didn't add anything positive to the story. Her writing and power level was absurd at the end.

The thing is Jean has always been absurdly powerful. You just haven't seen it in the movies. Like she can do all the shit Xavier can, like read millions of minds across the planet, but without Cerebro. Her telekinesis is strong enough to hold off Gladiator. This is base Jean Grey as well, without the Phoenix Force.

Calling Jean in this overpowered sounds like someone that never read the comics

power creep and retcons.

originally jean was mostly team mom. weak. only had telekinesis. no Telepathy.
telepathy then retconned in.
did little fighting. mostly talked, and supported.

jean being the kind hearted, and relatively weak power level, is why the Dark Phoenix saga works.
Her power level sky rockets, and she starts acting off. And this Jean would then actually regret what she has done, and kill herself to stop it.

at some point, its retconned that Xavier was using a mind block to keep her weaker. the powercreep did start in the 90's. although even the telepathy was back in the 70's.

this is one of those things, if you only have read comics from the last 20 years, yeah, you might say that. look at what they've done to supergirl, or Ms. Marvel in the last 20 years.

modern comics, Jean grey mind raped Angel. and mind raped iceman to make him gay.

No she never started out as a God Damn super ultra girl boss in the comics. Moron.

I think I like the Pattinson Batman.
