>In 1991, the X-Men – Jean Grey, Cyclops, Storm, Nightcrawler, Quicksilver, Beast and Mystique – have become national heroes for saving the world from Apocalypse. Professor Charles Xavier has became arrogant and is pushing the X-Men too hard despite Mystique’s objections. Meanwhile, Magneto has been trying to atone for his past crimes by building a safe haven for mutants in the island of Genosha.
>During a mission to rescue the crew of a malfunctioning space shuttle, Jean is exposed to solar flares that awaken the Phoenix, a powerful entity that exists within her. The Skrull Queen (Jessica Chastain), ruler of a group of shapeshifting aliens who have infiltrate Earth in order to conquer it, begins manipulating Jean.
>After losing control of her powers and accidentally killing one of the X-Men, Jean flees to Genosha. Magneto attempts to shelter her, but the X-Men, the Skrulls and the government soon intervene, and the strain causes Jean to develop a malevolent split personality, the Dark Phoenix, who is hellbent on unleashing chaos upon the world, and the X-Men are the only ones able to stop her.
>Cyclops and Jean have a burgeoning relationship, and he is determined to save her, rising as the leader of the X-Men once even Xavier believes Jean's crimes might be too great for her to stay alive.
Jean kills Beast.
William King
JEEEEEAAAAAAAANNNNN
Christian Sanders
None of it matters now that The Mouse is gonna buy Fox
Connor Richardson
why did they think it's a good idea to include secret invansion?
Elijah Edwards
Fox's movies are still relatively grounded and the Skrulls are one of Marvel's few non-cosmic aliens.
Liam Green
>despite Mystique’s objections Of fucking course. >The Skrull Queen (Jessica Chastain), ruler of a group of shapeshifting aliens who have infiltrate Earth in order to conquer it, begins manipulating Jean. Wait what? What the fuck? What? So they are doing aliens. But they're using some that are completely unrelated to this story for some fucking reason. And they're using them as a substitute for the Hellfire Club in some sort of half-assed Secret Invasion-esque adaptation. All the while they're explicitly not doing Shi'Ar? You know - the aliens that actually played a major role in the entire Phoenix/Dark Phoenix Saga?
This movie is going to be such a fucking train wreck, holy shit.
Caleb Harris
>non-cosmic aliens What did he mean by this?
Gabriel Stewart
>Relatively Grounded >Skrulls >Non cosmic The fuck are you on about?
Sebastian Perez
Did they just photoshoped Sophie's chin?
Jonathan Ramirez
>Cyclops and Jean have a burgeoning relationship JEEEEEAAAAAAAANNNNN
William Ward
>mediocre adaptation of a good story using a terrible cast >again Christ, these X-Men movies...
Jackson Edwards
>non-cosmic aliens.
Jack Lopez
Why does Xmen always have to go back to apocalypse and phoenix? They're both boring as shit and violently overdone.
Joseph Williams
same reason superman film villains are always keen to make new real estate.
it just is.
Josiah Ward
I guess he means Skrulls are typical invader aliens vs an empire of aliens the heroes run into in the stars.
Adrian Robinson
Do molemen may count as non-cosmic aliens?
Gabriel Bennett
>Comcast.
Camden Cooper
Some kind of last ditch effort for some Fox exec to rub it in some people at Marvel and Disney that they the rights to the Skrulls are still owned by Fox and using the basic plot and villain from Secret Invasion into the Phoenix movie. Probably Mark Millar's idea.
Charles Torres
Why do avengers always go back to armies?
Jacob Perry
>The Skrull Queen (Jessica Chastain), ruler of a group of shapeshifting aliens who have infiltrate Earth in order to conquer it, begins manipulating Jean.
For what purpose
Brayden Murphy
>always have to go back to apocalypse and phoenix
They've done Apocalypse once and Phoenix will be twice now in the movies, buttboy
Kayden Rogers
There are cartoons.
Kevin Evans
im ok with all this bullshit but the fact that the phoenix is once again a second jean personality instead of a cosmic entity kills my boner
Austin Sullivan
>Charles: All mutants are sacred >Mystique dies >Charles: Kill 'em all.
Sounds about right.
Joshua Hill
If she kills Mystique then this movie is is guaranteed at least a 7.10 from me. Otherwise, fuck it, it's trash. I was okay with the Skrull Queen when I hoped she would be used to introduce the Shi'ar but otherwise whats the point of having her of all people in this? Why not just use the Hellfire Club they were always a way more important part of this story than any of the cosmic characters anyway.
Carson Butler
>Skrulls isnt marvel also gonna use them as villains for carol movie?
Ayden Butler
They seem to be under the impression the Jean Grey is just comic book Carrie when if anything it's closer to the Exorcist.
Parker Green
Nah, everything's going Kree.
Dylan Campbell
Skrulls are in Carol's movie, though named Skrulls are still owned by FOX (for now). So for example Super Skrull or their queen are off limits
Jaxon Nguyen
Every iteration of X-men does these stories and they suck. It's like they think there aren't any other stories.
Noah Myers
>every outline saying Mouse deal is done >still wanting Comcast >liking Comcast despite how shit their service is
Grayson Hill
so both movies will have skrulls, boy that is gonna be weird
Brandon Bailey
We had two Quicksilvers in the span of a year and change.
Aiden Cook
Those are the mainstream stories. Casual readers/watchers don't know the X-men long moved past all that stuff
Connor Williams
fair enough
Thomas Rivera
Why is Sup Forums filled to the brim with mcufags? Not everything has to be connected to a cinematic universe you hacks. The buyout also means we're stuck with DC being the only competition.
Carter Barnes
>every outline?
Nobody even knows. Laterally everything is a rumor and a guess from unreliable sources.
Henry Morris
goddamn I love legally binding contracts with strange rules.
Thomas Ross
Are you drunk, user?
Blake Cook
Comcast can't own the x-men and mutants. the deal was for fox to own them they are not allowed to sell the rights to the movies.
Lincoln Phillips
Isn’t Beast in the future scene of DOFP? Does Fox not give a shit about continuity anymore?
Jaxson Morris
>anymore
Leo Foster
Ohohoho silly user, the X Men timeline doesnt matter! Logan, DOFP, this? Its all bullshit.
Ryder Murphy
>Thinking That Was Hank >Not Furry Dr. Frasier Crane's X-Gene Activating in This Timeline
Joseph Collins
Is Murdoch buying Disney actually, he is the CEO of Disney so be prepared to see the MCU adapted to the FOX (X-Men) Universe.
Ian Roberts
>non-cosmic aliens
Sebastian Roberts
They never did.
Zachary Torres
She doesn't die.
Jonathan Sanders
>the phoenix is once again a second jean personality instead of a cosmic entity kills my boner Phoenix being a cosmic entity was a retcon in the first fucking place. An absolutely terrible retcon at that. Fuck the Phoenix Force. Phoenix being a different personality of Jean Grey is much better.
Landon Allen
>how to spot a casual that's never actually read Dark Phoenix
