X-Men: Dark Phoenix film

What's with such the negative view on Whedon's run? His characterizations of the characters would fit well into the MCU.

Characterization is his strength, and that's a separate conversation.

I didn't get into Astonishing's arcs, and I don't see the appeal for translation to the big screen.

If X-Men never fight aliens again, I'll be happy.

I'll give you he did a good Cyclops(even if his most interesting character work, with Scott psychosomatically creating his 'uncontrollable' power problem, was discarded in the wider franchise), but the whole arc is nonsense fluff.

I loved almost everything Grant Morrison has done except two runs and one is X-Men I really disliked his era.

They’d fit well into the MCU, but not really in 616 circa 2004 (though Scott and Emma weren’t as bad as some make them out to be).

And because his run was so popular, it canonized characterizations that they still haven't recovered from. Wolverine as grrrr snikt beer jobber, Beast as a self-loathing and joyless piece of hypocrite ****, Kitty and Colossus one true love (with Colossus being one braincell shy of being entirely braindead).

The arc definitely has it's problems, but I've always viewed the run positively because of the team dynamic. The journey is the attraction with that arc in my opinion, not the destination. Therefore, I'd agree with Exodus that his astonishing team could be a great starting point. Not the story, the team, with Storm added in of course because why not.

What was the other one?

Action Comics I know on both I'm in the minority but I disliked both those runs loved everything else though.

I was sure you were going to say The Filth. I think all his work past seven soldiers has been spotty and not for me.

Everything else he did I either loved or neutral due to it being characters I cared little or nothing about but I love Superman and X-Men so when a writer does a run I dislike on them it annoys me more simply because it means there is this long period where I dislike the books. Also his runs had after effects which always reminded me oh yeah he did this

Dark Phoenix had the Morrison's Costumes somewhat a connection

It isn't a start point, it is a ending point team. It simply doesn't work

It was a weird decision has the 00s costume on a 90s movie.

Sorry for adding to it.

Back on topic, did Dark Phoenix just have the bad luck of multiple factors happening at the right time to damage its box office?

not really. it is mostly ba weak movie coming out from another weak movie

Well, unless we remove all of the other factors, it's hard to say if that was the reason and reason alone.
