Having Cyclops and Jean start out as late teens in the MCU has made the love triangle with Logan dead on arrival
The only reason why the love triangle is usually palatable(even if unpopular) to audiences in adaptions like X-Men: The Animated Series or the Fox X-Men is because Jean, Scott, and Wolverine are all full grown adults. I would argue that Jean and Scott both look about late 20s/early 30s in both of the projects I mentioned. So a middled aged Logan being obsessed with her isn’t that uncomfortable.
Watching Cyclops and Jean Grey fall in love as teens in the MCU will sear into people’s minds that these are two young lovers who essentially “grew up” together and helped each other grow into the man and woman they will become. When a middle aged, drunk, surly Logan shows up a 1-2 movies later, he will look insanely bizarre for obsessing over her and thinking like he‘s a viable romantic rival.
