Phoenix arc

For me the dark Phœnix arc is impossible to adapt in movie :

In the comic the arc have many twist, variation and a installed cosmic lore where the Phœnix force is kind of a deus ex machina but in the comic we accept that cause that fit the mood.

In a movie that to long to explain or if we cut the story that make no sens ...

Sort if im not understable I not speak english and I be cool if you need reformulation :3

If you have idea of how this could ne adapt I would love to read UwU

Movie could be like a two parter like Infinity War and Endgame

Oh yeah that can be good

A really long Dark Phœnix arc ! Why I never think about that !

I'd almost go so far as to say they should make it the next saga. Make it all about the X-Men building up to and culminating in a big 2 part Avengers vs X-Men with the Dark Phoenix being the drivi g force behind it all.

Is that where they are now though?

The X-men have evolved so far beyond the Phoenix Saga, but it’s still used as the starting point. The story is a great one, but it also pidgeon holes all writing to stay in a certain time frame. Plus we’ve seen a version of it.

Honestly not sure HOW mutants are down in the mcu. The morlocks, the bigotry, the physical abnormalities of random mutants. It’s a completely separate universe than the comics. Almost undoable imo.

This is what I’ve wanted ever since the X-Men were confirmed to be coming to the MCU. A proper Dark Phoenix Saga taking place a few years after we’re familiar with the MCU characters would be amazing!!

Only if it’s like a 10-year saga like Infinity war. Nobody needs yet another phoenix movie so soon after the last one

It can definitely work if you spend a movie or two developing Jean's character and her relationship with Scott, so the audience actually cares what happens to her. The Fox-Men movies failed to do that. Twice.

X-Men: TAS adapted the arc perfectly because Jean and Scott were both well-developed characters. You could actually argue that it improved on the comics by condensing the very convoluted story and removing the retcon.

This. Like everyone talks about X2 like it's the be all end all of that era of X-Men movies, but all the set up for the Phoenix stuff comes out of NOWHERE and what little there is is just sort of barely talked about

So we.....agree?

Not really. Phoenix has only made a single full appearance in X-Men: The Last Stand. Outside of that Jean being Phoenix had only been teased at for future films.

Even the Dark Phoenix movie only teased at Jean being Phoenix for a few seconds in its climax (similar to X2); the Phoenix was suppose to be fleshed out in the sequel. For most of the film’s runtime Jean never transforms into Phoenix. The film is an origin story.

>X-Men: TAS adapted the arc perfectly because Jean and Scott were both well-developed characters.

Actually, that version of Jean is generally regarded as lame outside of the Phoenix. Ever seen this video?

The retcon happened years after Dark Phoenix Saga.

That is why you’re not a professional writer. Just cause you can’t imagine it doesn’t mean it’s impossible
