so morph turning into jean, absolutely heartbreaking. the worst thing that could ever happen to the both of us. however, i think logan not changing just for morph is not just about his feelings for jean (and extension morph) but about his feelings of being “one” thing.

logan views himself as a monster and by focusing on jean, who is unattainable to him, he gets to feel humanity at a safe distance. he gets the comfort of his friendship with jean and the groundedness of knowing in the back of his mind he’s capable of those human emotions.

it’s not that he doesn’t like morph necessarily. it’s obvious that morph is important to him from how much he tried and held on while morph was under sinister’s control. but morph is attainable and to be with morph is to have to face the challenge of truly “testing his humanity” because if he gets into a relationship and it fails not because of another but just because of who he is; then he truly is a monster. his last link to humanity will vanish in his eyes. it’s not about his feelings for morph but his feelings anout himself. like the shot in thr helicopter scene where morph is looking ahed and logan is looking at them with his claws out only to turn his claws and be staring at his own reflection. he cannot see past his own insecurities to even look at this person who lovrs and cares for him and he loves and cares for.

Also having conversations in your head including a specific one who always reminds you what you were thinking before you got distracted. Everyone has this helpful Brain Voice Man in fact
