Who is more badass Dark Willow or Dark Phoenix

XMTLS totally ripped it off (without even TRYING to change it). Buffy did it better though.

 

well I guess we were supposed to sympathize with Jean as she was a victim of her Phoenix persona, but Phoenix didn't get much development.

 

Well, Dark Phoenix in the comics was way before Dark Willow, so I would think Dark Phoenix was the one that came first. But the FX for Dark Phoenix in X3 did seem to resemble those for Dark Willow.

TLS tells us why Jean has a dark side. Her mutation is seated in her subconscious which is linked to instinctual and primal responses. Therefore, she could do something dangerous without conscious thought or control (like the nightmares mentioned in X2 in which Scott says the entire bedroom shakes around). So Xavier sectioned off her powers....with the unfortunate side-effect that a second personality developed. As Wolverine says 'when you cage the beast, the beast gets angry' - in other words, anger and resentment built up against Xavier and the idea of control or suppression. The scenes in the infirmary make all this clear. 'He's inside your head too, he's tamed you' and the emergence of Dark Phoenix at the mere mention of Xavier being able to 'fix it.'

 

Zak Penn clearly stated that they (the writers) lost their battles with the studio over the second half of the movie.

But we had all these discussions about a year ago. Why bring it all up again? Are you bored or something!?

EDIT: It's pretty much obvious that Phoenix didn't get enough development. It all seems to go wrong after she threatens Magneto with the cure darts. Sadly, for most of us it is obvious here that the studio is interfering in a negative way and not allowing the story to be told properly. I do know people who liked her standing round silently and regally, and thought it added more menacing unpredictability.... but I do think we needed more active scenes/dialogue from her later in the movie.

 

Dark Willow nuff said.

 

Willow was in a TV series so of course she had way way way more development
Phoenix needed more screentime and development i loved the way they made her character in the movie i dont have anything against that if they developed it more and showed more conflict
and did the third act as was origonally planned

 

what was originally planned for the third act? Besides the Washington DC stuff.

 

ok yes DW was based off of phoenix, but X3's phoenix totally ripped off DW. looks and everything

 

Visually, Phoenix is a rip-off of Carrie and Dark Willow.
