[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 168971, member: 23"] Yes - the Phoenix story is one that played out over four+ years of storylines. There are a number of arcs to it and it's very complex, with concerns creeping in piecemeal. Above all else it's a storyline about character. The backdrop to the story is epic in nature (we're talking gods and genocide here), but it needs time to properly explore the simple humanity which is the basis of how it ends. Phoenix lobotomising Mastermind is one of the darkest moments in comicdom, but it made sense because of the emotional turmoil he'd created (is Mastermind even in the film? Now I'm curious). I think it would lend itself really well to a series of Phoenix films exploring Jean's psyche. Perhaps a trilogy, the first showing the creation of Phoenix, the second the Hellfire Club stuff and the emergence of Dark Phoenix and the final one showing the end to the story. A bit late now. But maybe once the X-Men are part of the MCU there'll be a fully authentic version in another decade and a half. [/QUOTE]
