On the costume idea, I'd like to remember you the Alex Ross rejected design:

I think there's a good base to improve on.
Sorry for the drawn segments, my nephew's fault! Gotta check all my pics! Grrr!

Of course if Jean was Phoenix AoXM could never happen. Phoenix did not fit into the stories editorial wanted to tell at the time, which were Mutants were going to be endanger of extinction again.
Frankky the XMen are in a mess now.
But Rachel Grey has already regained Phoenix powers from her Mother Askani self. Marvel is definitely not worried about overusing the Phoenix. Dark Phoenix the film got panned, but like all Fox XMen films it is still profitable.
In the 90s both Jean and Scott were mainly the parental DNA donors for the Nate’s and Rachel, who were the real heroes.
Jean as Phoenix or even Jeen would have curb stomped Nate Grey. So Jeen had to be back in the past and Adult Jean had to not be Phoenix for AoXM to happen, and that served to help make Mutants endangered of being killed off again. Decimation, IvX, and now the vaccine. Can’t Marvel come up with something new for the XMen?
To be honest, I really liked Jean in X-Men Red, she was both strong and compationate. She doesn't need to be the Phoenix for that (well it doesn't hurt!). I wish to see that kind of Jean, one that takes decision, not afraid of her powers or her emotions.
I hope Dark Phoenix bombing doesn't affect Jean too much
Let's be optimistic.
Why should it? The film bombing has nothing to do with the characters and everything to do with how the FOX handled it...pretty poorly.
This only the MCU will have to make a different Jean Grey, which is good because, for me, I can't stand this insecure awkward depiction o fJean.
Jean Grey is empathy and passion embodied. I want to see that onscreen.
Agreed! Jean in X-Men Red should be the template for Jean Grey moving forward. She wasn't involved in a love triangle. She wasn't part of some cosmic plot with the Phoenix Force. She was just doing what she does best. THAT is the Jean that I hope one day finds her way into the MCU.

Attachment 83826Dark Phoenix might not have been the blockbuster fans wanted, but it did bring the X-Men Movies Universe as we know it to an end. With the characters resting under Disney now, this X-Men movie marks the last time fans will see this roster on the big screen, and it seems one well-known artist is bowing out Jean Grey in style.
After all, the artist behind My Hero Academia: Vigilantes just drew up the heroine, and she looks as lively as ever in this post.
Over on Twitter, Betten Court shared his take on the X-Men heroine. As you can see below, the artist drew up Jean as she appears in the film, and Court said he was able to see the movie after he hit a big deadline with his My Hero Academia spin-off.
This Jean looks more like Kitty than Jean to me.

It's annoying how everyone seems to think the Phoenix is overused and overexposed, when Jean has never really had an extended run with it, aside from the initial Claremont story arc that only lasted about four years and even then had her frequently absent to give other characters more shine. And this has somehow not stopped writers from trying to pass the Phoenix off to their pet characters, and everyone being all shocked and dismayed when it doesn't work. If Jean was running around with adamantium claws and shooting spider webs, that would obviously be absurd, so I don't see why Marvel thinks it can try to make someone else into the Phoenix and not have it completely suck.
Rachel as Phoenix was fine. It worked.
Warsong/Endsong worked for the story they were trying to tell, and the Phoenix swaps were temporary, and more important, shown to be much less compatible than Jean or Rachel.
AvX was obviously dumb for a variety of reasons.
Then we got the Avengers BC and Wolverine stories that make zero sense.
So it wasn't a "bad" track record until Jason Aaron started doing stuff.
