Ommadon: “By summoning all the dark powers I will infest the spirit of man So that he uses his science and logic to destroy himself. Greed and avarice shall prevail, and those who do not hear my words shall pay the price. I'll teach man to use his machines, I'll show him what distorted science can give birth to. I'll teach him to fly like a fairy, and I'll give him the ultimate answer to all his science can ask. And the world will be free for my magic again.”
And there we go ...

Not sure why Jean would hate the suit she designed.
"Cable was right!"
“Strength is the lot of but a few privileged men; but austere perseverance, harsh and continuous, may be employed by the smallest of us and rarely fails of its purpose, for its silent power grows irresistibly greater with time.” Goethe
We will consistently see a powerful Jean/Phoenix when the MCU decided to use her. Captain Marvel, WandaVision, Monica Rambeau. Powerful women do well in the fantasy genre.
And Disney is a corporation that moves yo make loads of money. Hickman is a low man on the totem pole. MCU Jean really just needs a good actress to play her. The writing and directing have been fantastic.
Which is a problem with the comics as they are getting washed up writers as the film and tv portions of Marcel pay much better.
In Jean's return mini the Phoenix was portrayed as a kind of abusive boyfriend - that alone will keep it away from her for a while, at least until it has been away from her long enough for a new retcon to apply. Note that I don't consider having the thing hanging over her narrative like an ever-present Sword of Damocles to actually qualify as being away from it. The Phoenix Force currently represents the opposite of what it was originally intended for - it has shifted from empowering her to becoming a physical manifestation of the loss of her agency.
Dark does not mean deep.
that's because the ones messing with the concept never had any care or desire to actually respect it, they never considered it belonged to Jean's legacy or planned to actually let her evolve as character long with it, ever since Jean died a second time it was all about plundering what they could leaving Jean in the dust, the phoenix force now it's just an excessively overpowered talking abomination (boy, do i miss the days when it was just an energy signature) whose sole purpose is to corrupt and give phoenix-themed costume make-overs.

The worst part of that story was seeing old Logan try to "rescue" Jean. Having storm right by the side
