freshandclean said:Well she died twice in the original story, well sorta. When piloting the spaceship she almost died but her power jumpstarted and saved her and she became Phoenix (minus retcon). That's analogous to Jean "dying" to save the X-Men at Alkali Lake. It depends on how they explain her surviving.
I just can't see a way that she could survive and still have the impact that the Dark Phoenix saga had. I mean someone here even went so far to say "Isn't she a doctor? Maybe she can become a full time doctor afterwards?" I mean, WTF? Everyone talks about Scott has to survive to stay true to the Phoenix story, but they jump at the chance to have Jean "cured" or "depowered" or whatever. I mean talk about straying far away from the original (I don't count the animated series which sanitized the whole story). Do people just want Scott and Jean to live happily ever after?
No, I agree. I don't know how this thing is going to end. I can't picture it having the emotional impact other than how it did in the comics. It will be interesting to see.
