    The train scene where they defend Jean is so sick. One of my favorite scenes of a comic book movie. Along with Night Crawler going savage on them. Gave me flashbacks to the opening of X2.

      But remember the original (along with X2 and X3) are set in the "not too distant future," so it's not 2000. I settled on 2007, but that's me. So Fass still has 15 years to transform.

      Its shocking how poor the writing is in "Dark Phoenix", but he's the credited as the sole writer on the screenplay of "Days of Future Past". Not counting the story credits of course, of which there are two other writers, who worked on the screenplay for "First Class". Overall, "Dark Phoenix" was a sad end to the prequel series and the mainline movies in general.

    So, the original plan of this movie was to be even closer to the comic books and the animated series, even when that was scrapped, they still had the villains coming straight from the comic book storyline?

    And just like in the 97 reboot of the animated series; the X-Men have a telephone direct line to a government official. And having Dazzler in the movie is a callback to Dazzler being part of the dark Phoenix saga in the 90s cartoon run.

    It was okay. Just kinda bland.
    I liked the X-Men working as a team but the whole story felt a bit disposable. The first half was too repetitive of Last Stand then the second half was underwhelming. I enjoyed the train fight but didn't realise that stuff would be the huge climax.
    It would have been far more interesting if they got cosmic with it like the first 15 mins implied they would.

    What I like the most about the X-Men movies is the fact that they never tried to follow the MCU's formula or its tropes, especially after it became a trend
    They never relied on nostalgia, the tone always kept consistent, and they always focused on the present
    And Dark Phoenix kept that way
    They kept their sense of individuality. Even the score was different in each movie

    I just saw this movie because I’m binge watching in prep for Deadpool. Best part of this movie was the train scene and the fact that the Phoenix force came from space like the comics. As well as the acting from Fassbender and Sophie Turner. Otherwise I did not like this movie. If I ever binge watch these movies again in a chronological order or anyway tbh I’m leaving this one out completely. Even if you use the whole the timeline was changed because of Days of Future past. It just felt rushed and like it was just to get another X-men movie out. Just my opinion but it really felt lack luster. As a stand alone not bad in its action, should’ve just been a clearly stated different timeline

    In terms of the Deadpool 2 scene, I always assumed/applied the head canon that it was the aged up versions of the characters essentially in that cameo. Deadpool, however, wanted to see them as the younger versions so thats how he pictured them. Whether its a result of his insanity or the 4th wall breaking powers Deadpool is known to have, i cant actually say, but I personally believe most of his 4th wall breaking events are him just acting like hes in a movie or comic book.
