"The better question is: who are you?"
QUALITY WRITING, FOLKS.
Also, another Phoenix movie with a battle in the suburbs? Ugh.

Dark Phoenix - Final Trailer
- Thread starter rsfour
- Start date
Ok, I think I know where my confusion is coming from. It's because Apocalypse never looked good to me (though I did watch it in theaters the week it came out), whereas Dark Phoenix at least looks decent to me. And yeah, it makes sense that people gave Apocalypse a chance, since it released after Days of Future Past.
I had one thought during that: "I think I've had about enough of Quicksilver's slow motion shit."
The movie just looks like...nothing. It's so hard to describe, because that trailer wasn't like a catastrophe. But it feels almost impossible that anyone would watch that and come away thinking "fuck yeah, new X-Men movie!". They've just poisoned the well on this whole era of X-Men, the movies have been too mediocre, the behind the scenes drama too frequent. I don't care about a single one of these characters. I see Jennifer Lawrence, James McAvoy, and Michael Fassbender, and just think "Oh shit, yeah, you guys are in these. Why, again?".
At least Fantastic 4 looked terrible, it conjured up an emotion. This is something else entirely, it seems like the last dying breath of a franchise we've all said goodbye to long ago.

It's clear that Fox/Kinberg know jackshit about Phoenix Force and how to incorporate it appropriately in a movie. If Marvel Studios ever take a stab at this arc, I reckon they are going to do it more justice than Fox/Kinberg could EVER do.
Shhhhh.... There's no such thing. Never has the Fox X-Men films been bandwagon'd here. NEVER.
There should have been at least one more Xmen movie starring the Cyclops/JG/etc era of XMen. The majority of the feels associated with the Dark Phoenix storyline is just seeing how far Jean changes after we've come to know her character. This movie feels like what would happen if Logan was made directly after Xmen 1. It might still be a great movie, but would lose much of the meaning for most of the audience.

You're welcome.
Nutted but he still Cyking
I mentioned how bad I thought this movie was in another thread, but after watching that again, it's worse than I remember.
Michael Fassbender as Magneto has been pretty much the only joy I've gotten out of these movies.
Agreed. I hesitate to say he would have made a pretty good Dr. Doom if they gave him a solo film to introduce the character then made him the next main antagonist of the MCU after the Infinity Saga
What if by pure luck it ends up being good? I'm not betting money on it but what if. Stranger things have happened.
It is so impressive that Sophie couldn't get a single good read in that entire trailer. Saoirse wept.
Hilarious that they already revealed her Phoenix powers in the last movie and are already retconning it.
So is the exploding shuttle Namek? Who's Krillin then?
Almost 13 years ago to the day.
That actually looked pretty good. I have little doubt the actual movie will be terrible, but nice trailer.
Which, considering past movies never happened/happen, wouldn't that make these standalone? If we argue that the timeline Logan wakes up to in DOFP is actually the future version of the timeline being established here, why did they use Kelsey Grammar as Beast who is entirely unlike Hoult's portrayal? What does the Stryker bit mean, is Wolverine still going to be experimented on in -
This is the final form of the galaxy brain meme.Captured this from the trailer...

You're welcome.
I don't get the hate either. I hate to be that guy, but I'm guessing because female lead/female centric? I mean I guess Mystique has been the main character technically but she wasn't wholesale sold as a female lead in the previous films.
That or just bitterness over Apocalypse (which wasn't all that bad tbh) carrying over. IDK.
Anyway I think yes she has full Phoenix Force powers (IE way more than The Last Stand) but is trying to control/repress them.
I honestly think it looks pretty solid and will definitely be seeing it in theatres.
That being said, as much shit as Sophie Turner gets for her bad acting (and it is bad), Jessica Chastain seems to be giving one of probably the most boring portrayals of a comic book villain ever. Really really, bad acting from both of them but I know Chastain can do better than that.
