Your gateway to endless inspiration
- Scott is still Jean’s play toy
-He never stops trying to fix her. I mean, it’s cute but I need some character development. Li,e does he do anything other than scream, “JEAAAANNNN!”
- He was ten times better in the fucking comics. I swear.
-My soft wife, Jubilee, is completely gone. She is neither mentioned or shown. Hate that so much.
-Jean already had the Dark Phoenix power in Apopcalupse, but she gets it again??? Sure, whatever, gets you money, Fox. You literally forgot a movie that YOU made.
-Timeline is messed up all over again. How old is Jean? Nobody knows, at least she’s older than eight.
-The evil aliens were just in the way for the whole movie, were originally supposed to be the Skrulls, and they had less screen time in the comics. The first time they are introduced, the die. There is literally no need for them.
-Also, they had no background and they were only there for train scene. Literally, no point to them for the majority of the film.
-Same thing with Storm. Up until the train scene, there was no point for her character.
-Quicksilver, best character, is injured so badly that he is no longer seen in the movie until the final scene.
-Magnet goes through the same character arc as he did before. Lives on an island, decides to fight against the X-Men, gets captured by some intelliagance group, helps the X-Men out in the end. I swear, even Michael Fassbended is getting tired of this shit.
-He still doesn’t know that Peter is his son. What the actual fuck???
-Nightcrawler, well-known pacifist and Catholic, goes on a killing spree after seeing someone die. This plot-point makes no sense because real fans know he wouldn’t do this without at least praying before and after the battle.
-Jean dies and comes back as the Phoenix Force??? I honestly don’t know at this point.
- None of the actors wanted to do this movie. Sophie Turner just wanted to leave the franchise all together along with Jennifer Lawrence, Fassbender, and James McAvoy. Everyone is bored and over the whole storyline.
-Also, what the fuck was this line??? Mystique says to Charles, “The women in this group do more than the women. Maybe we should be called the X-Women. You ever think of that?”
-I’m all for female empowerment, but no one gives a shit. It’s already a gender-neutral term. I swear, Jennifer Lawrence just wanted to seem “woke” for no reason.
-They also named the school after Jean rather than Mystique. She was the women who inspired all the mutant students to be themselves, but I guess that doesn’t matter anymore. Fuck this shit.
-The visuals were okay, not the best for a Fox movie. But they brought some color to a pretty bland movie.
-Depicting Charles as a villain who manipulated all his students rather than trying to fix them is a really good choice.
-I liked this part of the movie because it showed a different side of Charles. The one side that makes mistakes, realizes this, and tries his best to fix it. The truth bombs from Mystique and Hank really sold the fact that Charles had been in the wrong for years.
-The breakdown from Hank/Beast was very cool. He cares for his sort-of-girlfriend of many years. But I hated how he quickly changed from sides. He flip-flopped more than Black Widow in Civil War.
-The bromance between Charles and Erik is still going strong. The only good thing that lasted through the whole movie. They love each other.
I wrote my first fic, and it had to be a dadneto reveal fic. I took a little divergence from the Dark Phoenix movie canon because my main focus is Peter and Erik’s relationship. Might lack proof reading and a whole lot of stuff, but I’m tired and just happy ‘cause Peter’s happy in this little world (albeit hurt) :)
