Are you excited for Dark Phoenix?

[phoenixzero23]

After many delays this film will finally come to the screens this week but i wanted to ask...
Have you been expecting this movie?
Are you hyped about it?

or for the contrary you couldn't care less or hate that this movie was done?

If possible please explain your answer.

I'm not excited, but I'll definitely go see it. If nothing else than to see this awful version of Mystique die.

Also bringing popcorn to watch J Law's belated exit from the series.

I've given up on the X-Franchise. They focus on the characters, whose actors are the most famous. Hell, they basically write films AROUND those characters, rather than writing a good story. I suspect before the script is written, writers get sent a memo: "Jennifer Lawrence has to have at least 60 minutes of screentime. She only agrees to wear makeup for three of those minutes, just so the audience does not forget it's jennifer Lawrence. Nicholas Hoult also wants only three minutes of makeup and prosthetics. He's not THAT big, so he's only getting 30 minutes of screentime. Michael Fassbender should not even be in this film, but he's a big name, so give him 80 minutes of screentime, acting all wishy washy, without any purpose."

No really. I don't like any iteration of the "past" characters, except Fassbender's Magneto.

Only going to see it so I can fairly talk about how bad it (probably) is.

[Celestial]

I’m excited for this franchise to be over.

I feel like we haven't even had a chance to get to know Jean and suddenly she is the focus and then the villain of a movie. At least in X1 and X2 Jean was given a bit more to do. In Apocalypse Jean didn't even get to show her power till the end of the movie. If they were going to do Dark Phoenix I feel like they needed one more movie, let Scott and Jean lead the team and end the movie with the space shuttle mission as a cliff hanger. Then you go to Dark Phoenix movie where the space shuttle accident happens. This way it gives some build up and makes you actually care about Jean.

Honestly, I hope MCU Marvel doesn't revisit this again, it's done to death and it's been done incorrectly. The should never have used Sebastian and Emma in First Class, they could have used Elias Bogan in the First Class movie instead. At the end of the Movie you could have an after credits scene where Sebastian Shaw takes over the Hellfire Club. In Apocalypse you could have Emma Frost being recruited to the Hellfire Club because Sebastian needs a telepath to find out what is going on with Apocalypse and Xavier. Then the movie after would have the X-Men go up against the new incarnation of the Hellfire Club, and if they want to have Emma go hero later they can make her conflicted when she goes up against the X-Men. I feel like they made a massive mistake and they should have left it up in the air a bit, is the Hellfire Club an enemy or potential ally for the X-Men. What are Sebastian's true motives.

Personally I like the back history stuff that filled in that Charles and Sebastian worked together for a time. That they both knew Tessa/Sage when she was still an Afghani guerilla fighter.

Sorry, I am rambling, I just feel that it's not really a Dark Phoenix story without Mastermind and the Hellfire Club. To me it's a redo of X3 with more focus on Jean this time to correct the mistakes of last time, and making the Phoenix an actual cosmic entity and not just an alternate personality of Jean.
