Dark Phoenix	comment	Dark Phoenix * X-Men is deliberately not a part of the movie's title for stylistic purposes, except in some international markets that the film is releasing in, as well as in some home video releases. is the 2019 sequel to X-Men: Apocalypse, and the twelfth installment of 20th Century Fox's X-Men film series. Simon Kinberg (frequent writer and producer of the franchise) made his directorial debut with the film. It was released on June 7, 2019.As suggested by its title, Dark Phoenix is an adaptation of the iconic Marvel Comics X-Men storyline by Chris Claremont and John Byrne, The Dark Phoenix Saga, which was previously integrated into 2006's X-Men: The Last Stand, stated to be more faithful than the latter film was. It is set in 1992, following the successive decade trend set by previous films First Class, Days of Future Past and Apocalypse.The X-Men are now famous for their defeat of Apocalypse, and Charles Xavier pushes his students to reach heights and put themselves in more danger to improve the global image of Mutants. When sent on a rescue mission into space, the team is hit by a solar flare, which awakens the entity known as the Phoenix within Jean Grey — and nothing will ever be the same for the team.Sophie Turner returns as Jean Grey from Apocalypse while James McAvoy (Professor X), Tye Sheridan (Cyclops), Michael Fassbender (Magneto), Nicholas Hoult (Beast), Jennifer Lawrence (Mystique), Alexandra Shipp (Storm), Evan Peters (Quicksilver), and Kodi Smit-McPhee (Nightcrawler) reprise their roles as well, while Jessica Chastain joins the cast as Vuk, an alien antagonist with the ability to shapeshift.The film also has the distinction of being the last "main-series" X-Men film to be made before Disney's acquisition of Fox, with 2020's The New Mutants being the last spin-off. Prior to its release, creative control over the X-Men, Fantastic Four, and Deadpool film franchises transferred to Disney (or rather, Marvel Studios) going forward. Director Simon Kinberg has referred to this as the Grand Finale of the series, it being the "natural culmination" of all X-Men films up to this point, and in April 2019 was confirmed to be the official "send-off" of Fox's X-Men series, with Disney assuming theatrical distribution rights. The movie was also the last one in Fox's series to bear the 20th Century Fox logo, while The New Mutants was subsequently released under the rebranded 20th Century Studios name.Previews: Teaser, Trailer 1, International Trailer 2, Trailer 3.

This is in contrast with the heroes, who still care about their friend and are hoping to stop her without killing her. However, they do have a Unscrupulous Hero stint to them, in that they're not particularly worried about the citizens that could get caught in the crossfire.

Dark Phoenix / int_19ebe383	type	Never Trust a Trailer
Dark Phoenix / int_19ebe383	comment	Never Trust a Trailer: The trailers keeps the role of Vuk and the D'Bari very vague, making it look as if the film will be primarily about the X-Men trying to stop Phoenix. Notably, the first trailer makes it looks as if it's Jean attacking the train the protagonists are on, when in the film it's actually the D'Bari with Jean later using her powers to save them all. Moreover, in both trailers, Charles is seen saying "she'll kill us all", presumably directed at Jean. In the film, the line is "You'll kill us all", and is directed at Vuk, not Jean. The missing trailer line, "You came here looking for permission" changes the motives that Jean has for seeking out Erik. The marketing campaign in general was rather off. Selling it as a event movie and grand finale of the series with Jean as the antagonist when it was never designed to be that but more of a character-driven psychological thriller with Jean as the protagonist. As this video thoroughly explains.

Dark Phoenix / int_1cc2ea8d	comment	Villain Ball: Jean attacking the military at the Mutant enclave. While her attacking the police could at least be justified as being self-defense, this assault is purely about demonstrating her power for power's sake, and it has the consequence of costing Mutants much of the goodwill that they spent the last two decades trying to establish - as well as alienating Magneto, who she'd come to seek advice from. However, this could be the result of the Phoenix Force taking control of Jean, as the film shows her hearing voices immediately beforehand.

Dark Phoenix / int_20f689e9	comment	Adaptational Villainy: The D'Bari and Vuk are very minor players in Marvel Comics (neither were even named in their first appearance), and the D'Bari are widely portrayed as a peaceful people. Vuk is the only D'Bari who's ever done anything particularly evil, and while he's smug and anti-"primitive beings", he's also Trapped in Villainy, with Sub-Mariner threatening his only way home if he doesn't defeat the Avengers. This version of the character is a corrupting influence on the already unstable Jean, and is a total sociopath willing to kill anyone in her way, while the rest of the D'Bari conspire to invade the Earth.

Likewise, nothing ever comes of Charles Xavier and Moira MacTaggert reconciling in the same movie. She's not even mentioned.

Dark Phoenix / int_26ac510e	type	Mythology Gag
Dark Phoenix / int_26ac510e	comment	Mythology Gag: Understandably, given that they borrow from the same source material, there are a number of moments that are reminiscent of scenes from X-Men: The Last Stand: There is a scene where Charles, flanked by the X-Men, confronts Jean on the street, similar to how in the earlier film, Charles, flanked by Ororo and Logan, confronts Jean at her childhood home. As in The Last Stand, Magneto plays a role in Jean's transformation into the Phoenix - only this time round, she is the one who seeks him out, instead of the other way round. Charles and Erik once again confront Jean in a house as she begins to embrace her dark side. There's also how this whole mess started to begin with. Once again Charles attempts to "help" Jean by blocking a tragic event from her mind. Once again, it ends in disaster and leads to the death of a teammate. In the background of one scene, a power-supplying company has Bishop's name on it. This is not the first time Xavier blocked someone's memory of a person who was supposed to be dead but is actually alive. In Deadly Genesis, Xavier wipes out Scott's memory that he has a younger brother Gabriel (aka Vulcan), who was apparently killed with his team in Krakoa before the two waves of X-Men in the first Giant Size. And then Vulcan resurfaces... Raven (and later Hank) chewing out Xavier's "questionable" methods is lifted straight from the comics which led to Cyclops' gradual disillusionment from Xavier's dream. Xavier also ends up leaving the school, just like in the movie. The X-Mansion is renamed Jean Grey's School for Gifted Youngsters, much like how Wolverine's faction reopened the school as the Jean Grey School of Higher Learning after the fallout of his schism with Cyclops. A lot of character motives and actions between this film and X-Men: The Last Stand are similar, if flip-flopped. For example, both Logan and Hank call out Xavier for tampering with Jean's mind but while Logan ultimately kills Jean despite being very reluctant to do so, Hank all but wants her head on a platter after she kills Raven. He ultimately doesn't kill her, however. Magneto has established a community for mutants on an island called Genosha, as he did for a period in the comics.

Mystique initially attempts to reach Jean this way even after she's just thrashed the rest of the X-Men, but Jean can barely control her new powers at this point, and accidentally kills her. Later on Charles lets a fully-Phoenix Jean into his mind, and it's her seeing him chastise her father for giving up on her when she was a child that helps her come back to a semblance of herself.

Dark Phoenix / int_3322dd48	type	Hollywood Law
Dark Phoenix / int_3322dd48	comment	Hollywood Law: Magneto's right - the US military can't simply come into Genosha without permission. If it's in the US, they're forbidden to carry out police functions by the Posse Comitatus Act, plus they need a search warrant. Assuming it's not (though the land was "given to them by the US government", which makes it unclear) this would be a violation of their sovereignty that could be taken as an act of war. Jean killing some people would not, as the leader suggests, mean that they're now allowed to barge through Genosha looking for her without so much as a by-your-leave, nor that Jean herself "gave up" any rights. Kind of the whole point of rights is that people always have them. note There are times when your rights may be limited in very specific ways, such as credible threats of violence not falling under free speech, or times when you may voluntarily waive certain rights, such as choosing to speak to police without a lawyer, but that's different from losing them altogether.

Dark Phoenix / int_3322e9cd	comment	Hollywood Old: A strangely widespread version, because of the series' desire to set each new movie in a different decade, everyone is way older than you would expect them to be based on their actors younger appearance. The 28-year-old Nicholas Hoult and Jennifer Lawrence are playing the role of characters who are, chronologically, in their late 40s or early 50s. The 41-year-old Michael Fassbender is now playing a Magneto that's in his 60s. It's been pointed out that with the Ian McKellen version of Magneto canonically being a future version of this Magneto (as per X-Men: Days of Future Past), the movie implies that Michael Fassbender turns into Ian McKellen in 8 years, as X-Men takes place in 2000.

It seems hopeless and she nearly gives in to her destiny. However, after seeing how Charles always had hope in her, she gains the will to fight back and utilizes her pain to empower herself to take control of her powers and her destiny.

Dark Phoenix / int_7fbb2a3	comment	Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Charles, repeatedly. While the film makes clear later he was doing it with the best of intentions, blocking the knowledge of her father's survival from Jean's mind leads her to seek him out once the Phoenix force erodes said block, learning the truth about his blaming her for her mother's death, leading her to be far more emotional and less willing to listen to Xavier once the X-Men show up - in turn leading to Mystique's death when she loses control of her powers. He stops Beast from tasering Jean, hoping that Raven will talk her down. (However, admittedly, he likely would have failed given the powerful extent of Jean's powers and how she managed to deflect Storm's lightening strikes against her.) It also gets several policemen killed, which sets human-mutant relations back significantly, severely tarnishes the X-Men's reputation and ruins the special relationship he just fostered with the President. All that's bad enough, but later his total refusal to accept any responsibility for the loss of Raven or admit he had done anything wrong (despite all of the above), end up driving away a despondent Hank and leading him to ally with Erik to kill Jean.

It begins with Mystique scolding him for putting his students into increasingly dangerous scenarios (like the one at the beginning of the film, in which the X-Men save some astronauts and Jean Grey nearly dies) without actually being present to keep them safe. Then she gives him a verbal flogging for both lying to Jean and manipulating her mind while they're on the X-Jet. Finally Hank erupts at him for his inability to admit he's done anything wrong, even after Mystique's death.

Dark Phoenix / int_df582b0b	type	Continuity Snarl
Dark Phoenix / int_df582b0b	comment	Continuity Snarl: Oh dear. There are some major disconnects between this movie and X-Men: Apocalypse, to the point it is both a sequel and incompatible with the "A plot" of the prior film. Jean's god-like powers are significantly retconned to a different origin of the Phoenix. She expressly had the Phoenix in Apocalypse because this was how the titular villain was defeated. Apocalypse says as much, showing genuine awe for the first time in his life at the powerful and blazing bird. Here, Jean acquires the Phoenix Force for the first time when it fuses itself into her. Possibly justified, because it seems that she had the Phoenix inside her all along, and she became even more powerful when she absorbs the cosmic Force. Magneto being on any peaceful terms with the US government other than shoot-on-sight is preconditioned on the climax of Apocalypse where he is credited with defeating Apocalypse. So the fight had to have happened. Otherwise the last anyone had seen of Magneto, he was on the lam for having killed a former president, escaping prison and then attacking both the Paris peace talks and the White House. While the X-Men are famous, the world itself shows practically no scars from what happened in Apocalypse. The US government has little patience for mutants and quickly turns on them after what would be considered a trivial incident compared to Apocalypse's planet-wide attack. In the latter, every human on Earth had their mind invaded, the USA and USSR had their main nuclear weapons literally thrown into space, cities were razed, many millions killed in Cairo alone and Earth had two god-like mutants destroying someone who claimed to be capital-G God. Did everyone just forget?

Dark Phoenix / int_e031b7ef	comment	Slave to PR: Over the past few years, public opinion of mutants has improved greatly thanks to the actions of the X-Men. While Xavier risks sending his team into more and more dangerous missions to (perhaps) feed his ego, he is not wrong when he explains that all their actions can be undone in one bad day. Sure enough, after Jean loses control of her power, mutants are once again deemed dangerous, with news of Mutant Internment Camps being setup to lock up those whose powers are considered a threat and Xavier is no longer able to contact the President to try and explain or buy time.

Dark Phoenix / int_e4965307	comment	Composite Character: The D'Bari are based on the alien species of the same name from the comics, but their ability to shape shift in this movie makes them more reminiscent of the Skrulls — a completely different race of green-skinned aliens from the comics. The film's version of Vuk is given aspects of Emma Frost (in that that she is depicted as a blonde-haired, emotionally detached, woman who manipulates Jean Grey and temporarily gains access to the Phoenix Force) and Jason Wyngarde/Mastermind (in that she spends most of the film disguised in something other than her true appearance and displays an illusion casting ability in the scene where she shows Jean Grey the destruction of the D'Bari homeworld).
