Dark Phoenix X-Men: Dark Phoenix News and Speculation Thread - - - - - - Part 15

[Vasilios]

Do you think we will get a telepathic battle between Jean and Xavier on the astral/telepathic plane?

Given how powerful she was in Apocalypse, I think the only way they could realistically have Jean take on all the x-men is if Xavier is also facing her in the astral plane.
That way she would be somewhat distracted during a physical fight with the X-men

That would be really cool if we can get a Phoenix Vs Prof X astral plane fight. The Astral fight we got in Apocalypse was so underwhelming - TV shows have done better jobs with that like Legion.

So that Chinese New Years poster was released a hour before Disney released their similar posters.



Hmm...

 

[Jh7058622]

Interestingly, it seems that poster was made by Disney.

Disney Celebrates Chinese New Year with Posters for ‘Avengers: Endgame,’ ‘Toy Story 4’ and More

Yep they're definitely going to shelve this movie they are actively involved in promoting. Facts check out. My source: my evil twin that lives in a pocket dimension told me just now.

I thought the narrative was Disney can’t be involved in any way with this movie lest the merger would be null. Unless that other company was the only studio smart enough to produce calendars for the second biggest movie-going audience in the world, there’s really no reason to think this calendar was produced by the Mouse. Or to listen to one’s evil twin that lives in a pocket dimension who told you about it just now.

Says that he always envisioned as a three season arc.

 

[GuestStar2004]

Disney not wanting to make the animated Deadpool show is already abit of a red flag. they canceled it long before the Disney deal though

But with Legion the showrunner or whoever claims they always envisioned 3 seasons and i kinda believe him. since there is only so long you can work with this character before it starts to feel like Smallville where you have 10 seasons building up to a particular event.

Amazing Spider-Man 2 helped promoted X-Men: Days of Future Past, remember? It also seems that Disney and Fox are the only companies making these kinds of posters.

We have to wait a see with Legion.

I hope to god it's true and this final season gives closure to the storylines. Especially due to the style of elborate storytelling the show goes through.

Penny Dreadfuls creator said he always planned for the third season to be a finale. But it was so obvious the show got told it was cancelled half way through causing the finale to be rushed.

absolutely nothing from the teaser looked more impressive than what we have seen on many sci-fi movies since.... 2010?

and the "they are making something special".... where does it come from exactly? because a producer said so? a personal source of someone?

I can also say "Im making the best drama ever, my editor is doing an amazing job". Will you believe it too, just because I say so? lol.
Im sure you'll get the point.

Nitpiciking and senseless negativity. All blockbusters have, most of the time, amazing money shots to get the audience excited, the last shot of Dark Phoenix was amazing.

Is the last X-Men movie and the end of an era in several aspects, it already is something special.

I rather believe the people involved in he actual making of the movie than random, biased, ridiculous tweets by people who do not care about the movie.

 

[MewMewTwo]

So how do you know which tweeters or screening reactions were from the legit ones and which ones were made up? You seem to have brushed off all the negative hot takes as fake?

Remember when Mystique's essence is that she is *the* mutant messiah, goodie two shoes half sister of Xavier, who is one of the first X-men and their first ever field leader?

Remember when Storm's essence is that she's a Mystique stan, first horseman who is willing to kill innocent people (without being mind-controlled) because she got a power boost?

Remember when Beast's essence is that he's a drug pushing, sissy lover-boy who Jekyll and Hyde's between white boi and ape-man?

Remember when Havok's essence is that he's Scott's way older brother who got killed by his own stupidity?

Remember when Cyclops' essence is that he's the non-awkward, cool cat way younger brother of Alex who is like the 17th X-men member?

Remember when Quicksilver's essence is that he's OP old AF mutant son of Magneto who still lives in his mom's basement?

Remember when Jubilee's essence is that she was at the mansion ten years before the likes of Cyclops, Storm and Jean showed up?

Remember when Psylocke's essence is that she's this half-Asian with purple hair that always seems to side with Magneto?

Remember when Angel's essence is that he had no redeeming qualities whatsoever until he was killed off by Nightcrawler?

Remember when Nightcrawler killed (or at least severely injured) Angel and made no [blue] fuzz[y] about it?

Remember when Moira's essence is that she's an absent-minded CIA Agent who coined the term X-men and caused the literal coming of the Apocalypse?

Yea me neither.

Nitpicking. Of course there are changes, of course there are flaws, but still they kept what makes the X-Men be the X-Men intact. The same cannot be said of other companies, cough cough...

 

[MewMewTwo]

So... Probably new trailer tonight? That would be too much of a good marketing move at this point right? Why no superbowl spot? Come on fox, do you want to get your money back or what?

 

[Iceman]

Superbowl spots are expensive though so maybe that put them off. I hope we get a new trailer asap.

 

[Hand Banana]

Deadpool 2 didn’t get one last year either, iirc.

 

[The Infernal]

I'm still surprised Deadpool 2 is the highest grossing X-men film, but I think that's in part due to bias as I prefer the first film and Logan over DP2.

 

[icekid]

How do we know you are not lying about your "scoops"?
obviously there's no Superbowl spot for Dark PhoeniX.


At least 30 million in America.

What would I have to gain from lying? You don’t have to believe me, and I know that fox brought one spot, and they asked everyone to prepare something. They ultimately chose Alita. How am I to know anything beyond that unless I’m actually in the production? Everything else I’ve said checks out.

did you believe Kinberg and Zak Penn around 2005 when they kept promising great things for X3?

that should give you a clue about how Hollywood and producers work.

i'm not surprised. I'm more irritated than anything. This is why they were going after spinoffs and neglecting the main installments

 

[EnDz0n3]

Amazing Spider-Man 2 helped promoted X-Men: Days of Future Past, remember? It also seems that Disney and Fox are the only companies making these kinds of posters.

That DOFP cross-promo with ASM2 was part of a deal between the two rival studios because Marc Webb the director of Sony's Spidey 2 was originally slated to direct a film for Fox as part of his contract following Fox Searchlight's 500 Days of Summer. The two studios agreed that Fox would allow Sony to direct their Spidey sequel if Sony allowed Fox to do free marketing for X-men.

Totally different scenarios...

Nitpicking. Of course there are changes, of course there are flaws, but still they kept what makes the X-Men be the X-Men intact.

And what is that exactly?

The same cannot be said of other companies, cough cough...

This is so tone deaf, I don’t even know where to start.

Yes and Disney would have more of an incentive to help this movie. IIRC, it was only said that Disney can’t interfere with what Fox is doing.

 

[SumT]

apparently Nitpiciking is expecting respect to the source material and how the characters are.

its like a director taking a popular and beloved book and doing the oposite of what the book writer did on first place.

 

[GuestStar2004]

They were not neglecting the main series. everything was being treated the exact same way by FOX

The odd thing about the spin offs is that when one was announced people here complained, and when they didn't announce any... people complained.

 

[Erik Lensherr]

 

[sleekstereo]

That's a good point about the MCU films. They all do look the same. I think Ragnorak is the only one that has a different feel. I know they want their films to feel like they are in the same universe but they should shake things up to keep it fresh.

 

[Frankeh]

"Chris" needs to wait till he actually sees the movie to talk about directorial style, at least that's what everyone on this board says whenever you emit an opinion.
