[QUOTE=yogaflame;5129612]The last two decades have definitely eroded her pop cultural influence. Hard to believe she beat WW in a pure, democratic popularity contest back in the 90's. The Fox-men films did her no favors, even if Halle has some relevance, the role was just underwritten. The MCU has elevated far more obscure characters, though.[/QUOTE]
exactly. if this wss pre foxmen I would agree but that simply is not the case now. marvel is going to have to invest in the xmen as much as they did the avengers before one could make a claim that all kids know her.

[QUOTE=butterflykyss;5129353]they tried it with captain marvel too.[/QUOTE]
The worst push they've ever done. She was universally panned lol. Oh and I told you i'd see you back on the forum lol. We were in the same thread on twitter regarding Storm
[QUOTE=Havok83;5129490]I dont feel Jean ever got that type of push[/QUOTE]
She did especially when she got her own movie

I feel it may have been rewritten with less focus on her because of Angela and Janet turning down the roles. Halle literally was their last option.

No she didnt. Jean nor any of the X-men was being pushed as the face of Marvel last year. In the books, 2019 was the worst year for in a while as her exposure decreased dramatically and she had little to no media push in the cartoons and videogames. Marvel itself was not really heavy on the promotion of Dark Phoenix as that was carryover from Fox that they had not fully embraced. I dont know how anyone can look at 2019 and think that was Marvel's attempt to make Jean into their version of Wonder Woman

Another question related to[B] "X-Men"[/B] (2000):
I rewatched the brilliant scene "Storm vs Toad" and I noticed:
After "rising" herself from the elevator, Storm generates a soft wind that starts pushing some objects away, but Toad manages to walk and "hold on" against the wind.
We can see electricity from Storm's eyes and - at a certain point - a stream of wind lifts Toad in the air and pushes him towards a window.
Is it me, or the wind was not so much powerful, and Storm channeled the stream of air only on her target (Toad), because we can see Toad flying away, but not so many objects and things around him.
Am I right or wrong?

fox-men movies did not age very well, when the first one came out I was ecstatic but now I just find them kinda lame and a lot of scenes regarding powers usage do not make a lot of sense, can't wait for marvel studios take on Storm to come out and wash away the stale taste they left.

I saw that the Chadwick was mentioned as well and his passing, but I don't see anything mentioned for another legendary voice actor who passed away as well, with Chadwick... he used to voice Cyclops in 90s TAS series.

I found this awesome video in X of Swords, Storm is definitely playing an important role for the story, since she is in almost each cover...

Ooohhhh.
That was an awesome trailer on its own.
But rewatching it just for Storm does feed the ego.

I never said Jean or any X-Men was being pushed as the face of Marvel. I didn't say Dark Phoenix was the part where they tried to make her. I simply said she even got her own movie. Look at all the X-Men movies. Jean was definitely portrayed to be the all mighty and to me that's Marvel's attempt at least in hollywood

IDK why i'm feeling Storm is going to turn over a new leaf like she's gonna become some sort of vigilante or that she's not gonna be on a good or bad side. I feel like she's gonna be her own thing the way she wants with no regard for how anybody feels about it. Maybe i'm just thinking too much. That card that Emma read with Storm's face on it gave me that kind of vibe.
