@BreakTheCode - The bias is based on common sense though.

I think it will be good. They seem to be embracing the comic aspects (adapting like ever comic film does). They are embracing the comic visual we all want. And whether Shiar, Skrulls, or other they are defiently bringin aliens into the film, which opens up the cosmic side of this franchise at the very least.

@StormXmen123 - As for what the Pheonix Force is. They could still keep it cosmic.

Have Jean be possessed as a child (the force recognising her potential). As a result it cosciousness remain dormant, with Jean being able to utilise it power.
When the solar flares hit, this awakens the Pheonix (hence the voice discussed in the trailer), perhaps the solar flares give it enough energy to take over or it goes into survival mode to protect it host taking over. As a result it begins to enjoy being in control, like the comics when it loves to experience emotion (rage and joy).

I think by the fact we have aliens (skrulls or Shiar in this film) there is a high chance they will make it cosmic in origin.

They need to go the route of these films with a story like this in order to be compelling:




Jean is an innocent, pure girl who's corruption by the Phoenix is compelling because of how the Phoenix destroys that innocence. It's essentially a tragedy of how even the most lovely person can be taken over by a force that makes them spiral into darkness and despair. I know they ruined that potential in Apocalypse by framing her as troubled already (which takes away the power of her becoming Phoenix), but they can do it in Dark Phoenix.

It worked in the comics because it was good, so they can just use the comics as reference instead of shying away from them for the sake of it because they're ashamed.

@Brave - that'd be amazing but Jean isn't innocent in this universe...she's a dangerous outsider who everyone in the school fears

They already missed the mark here. In the comics her change is so arresting because it's a 180 transition from innocence to unapologetic sexual deviance and wrath.

@Brave - ...Holy crap... I just realized... If the Fox deal goes through, Lilandra will be a Disney Princess.

@BlackBeltJones - When was she dangerous outsider who everyone in the school fears in Apoc??

Dangerous yes but she came across quite preppy to me

One reason why it will suck:

I'm not excited for this by any means due to Apocalypse putting a bad taste in my mouth for this series, but I hope it's good. It would be awesome if Dark Phoenix closes the Fox-Men franchise on a high note like Logan did for Wolverine. I don't want this film to be bad.
