The fact that so far this movie reminds us a lot of X3 visually annoys me a lot.
Doesn't sound good.
Too bad, I would like their farewell movie to look good, the FOX X-Men had so much potential but, for me, fell flat and confusing in the end.
And, in my opinion, it's a shame with such a great material, to rush things and not deliver a good story.
I 100% agree. From what I've seen in the trailers, I feel like they are remaking X-Men: The Last Stand, arguable the worst X-Men movie, vs adapting the original content for the movie. This is incredibly disappointing. The Dark Phoenix story lines is one of the definitive X-Men stories.
LOL. Perhaps. But I am not sure why Fox would want to remind us of TLS stand at all. That movie was a disaster. The poster and the trailers all hearken back to that flop. I know Kinberg wrote it and he's at the helm of this latest installment. I fear he's trying to redeem that mess vs. just telling a good story by adapting the original Dark Phoenix story line for the big screen.
Here are some scans showing the original explanation of the Phoenix from the original story (then I will post scans showing the 2nd explanation for the Phoenix given in the final issue of the original story).

The 2nd explanation was introduced in the final issue of the story. Fans forget that the cosmic force was introduced in the final issue and was a different explanation from the first one given.
how much for the trailer release?
we can be heroes, just for one day
Here is the character sketch of Jean Grey/Phoenix from Dave Cockrum. His notes reflects Claremont's original idea and the Phoenix is referred to as a schizoid personality within Jean.
Here is a brief bio of Jean Grey/Phoenix/Dark Phoenix from 1981 in Bizarre Adventures #27 which does not mention the "Phoenix Force" at all, seemingly going by the original explanation that the Phoenix was Jean's heightened psychic powers. To be clear, the bio does not refer to the Phoenix Force and uses the first explanation. The Phoenix story right after the bio in Bizarre Adventures #27 does refer to the Uncanny 137 explanation that she had become one with a primal universal force.
It was mostly John Bryne who did not want the Phoenix to be Jean's own power and who wanted it to be a separate force. The editors also wanted to absolve Jean of her crimes as Dark Phoenix. I think this had a strong influence over Claremont and other writers. Yet there are many issues where Claremont wrote the Phoenix as mainly an aspect of Jean Grey's or her daughter, Rachel Summer's powers or as a force that they have an innate connection to.

Wasn't there supposed ti be a trailer today?
lol if those 30 seconds are it.
As I said a little earlier it disturbs me that this movie reminds me so much of X3 and this short clip doesn't help at all!
All these fiery veins on Sophie Turner look much like the black veins on Jansen.
I'm no psychic but I'm sensing a disaster coming (and I'm not happy with it, I would prefer the FOX swansong to be a good movie, who doesn't want a good movie?).
