Wow, it is easy to forget but Jean came back to a different era and world than the one she left.

I think he succeeded in his goals. I didn’t read xmen before bendis so I can’t say whether he succeeded in following up where she was with Morrison but the rest feels like he accomplished what he set out to do.
Xmen red jean had some flaws imo but was great overall. Certainty better than jean in disassembled.
I still prefer teen jean though and am hoping Hickman brings some of that through.

It wasn't really contractual as much as she was stuck wherever they filmed the Game of Thrones for the entire time.

They really should have planned those reshoots in advanced, otherwise they wouldn’t have to had to delay the movie and eventually lead to it flopping.
while the delays were a problem, I don't think they were the reason it flopped.
There are many reasons many people think the Fox x-men movies had a good closure with "Days of future past" or "Logan"
or that the phoenix was already done on "the last stand"
I personally didn't like Sophie as Jean
After Avengers End Game I think people were hoping for something close to that to close the x-films. Nothing else was going to do.

If it wasn't delayed to June the movie wouldn't have to deal with the merger layoffs hurting the marketing campaign and deal with so much competition. Secret Life of Pets 2 is a sequel to a well-received film that made over 800 million dollars and it is only going to be in the 300 million range.
The move to June was a huge factor to why it flopped as hard as it did. If it kept its original release date I think it would have at least made around as much as Alita: Battle Angel and made a profit with home media sales.
About that, those reactions could have been avoidable if it wasn't marketed as a Dark Phoenix movie because it really isn't. Dark Phoenix is about Phoenix becoming a villain, hence why it is called Dark Phoenix. I've seen the movie twice and that definitely doesn't happen. Jean tries to fight off her dark impulses throughout the entire movie and becomes a hero in the end. The worse she does is accidentally kills Mystique. That's not due to ineptitude either Simon Kinberg has said that the movie is about empowered women and he wanted Jean to take control of her destiny. That is the complete and total opposite of the premise of Dark Phoenix, which is about a woman who can't handle power.
I'm not against the idea. I even like it, but market your movie appropriately. Call it X-Men: Phoenix instead and advertise it as a female empowerment movie, which did wonders for Captain Marvel. Speaking of Captain Marvel there are A LOT of parallels between those two movies.
I've read tons of reviews and there were comparisons being made due it being marketed as a grand finale to the X-films. Which was another huge marketing mistake since it was never made to be one.

Just realized that Jean is wearing the pants of her 90s costume
That's why she has that weird pouch
Lol and smh
I love that Jean is a series regular, I will even disregard the outfit, but holy I hope they give her a different costume after a few issues.
I fear she isn't going to get another costume until the current books end.
I'm happy that she has pants, I didn't notice that before.
Tbh she should be wearing the leather pants from Morrison's run underneath the dress. It'd look way better. Or even the pants of the X-Men Blue costume.
