by the rules set in the comics, back when angel was being used to "cure" all the mutants. "any being possessing an abnormal ability; speed, flight, fire, psychic, or even transformation; be it from birth, accident, or intention is a mutant. we are all brothers and sisters" by those rules, the hulk is a mutant, marvel is a mutant, quicksilver and skarlet witch... oh wait, they are in x-men too...LOL. many mutants have the same or similar origins, just look at wolverine and sabertooth, spike and toad, gambit and rogue. it isn't uncommon in the Marvel Universes for multiple characters to have the same story, just slightly different. NightCrawler even references that he has stopped in the wrong dimension before because it was so close to his own.

[@TheRezro]

@@Darksilverjesse In real Marvel lore Earth was once visited by godlike aliens known as Celestials (Starlord dad) who perform weird experiments on humans, creating race of immortal Eternals aka Homo Immortalis (like Thanos, who is in fact a human). After they move from Earth other aliens come to Earth and perform own experiments creating Inhumans from residual Celestial DNA, but Hive rebellion force them to evacuate and surviving Inhumans into hiding. After that yet another aliens come and did basically the same, with over time Dr. Charles Xavier forming X-Gene theory defining those possessing Celestial DNA as Mutants or specifically Homo Superior. Both X-Man (organization) and Inhumans are considered as mutants. In fact many unrelated heroes (like Squirrel Girl) also are considered as mutants, even if they don't associate themselves with the movements. Mentioned case of Hulk is unclear. His father believed that he is a Mutant, but did they ever used blocker on him? It work only on real Mutants, what yes, include majority of superheroes, but not all of them. Anyway Phoenix Force is an alien and despite what shitty movie saying, not Joan Gray. Joan was only one of many its hosts, what in fact include also Mar-Vel.

[@jaeusa160]

All of this is even more ironic since Rogue literally stole Ms Marvel's powers and put the character out of commission for some time in the bygone old days of the X-Men, and is also the Rogue from the 90s animated series that introduced a lot of folks to the franchise. Really comes full circle. Rogue, the character that removed Ms Marvel out of comics for a while, kicks off the first X-Men movie... Ms Marvel dunks the last one until the MCU gets them.

Sort of. Godzilla tho.... barely got any marketing done. Isn't showing in all countries. most people think it will be shit since the last one was kind of a disappointment and this is a sequel.

If they had kept the original ending the movie probably would have got a few percentage points higher on the Tomatometer thanks to a more action-packed finale but it would not have changed everything else that made the rest of the movie suck. How do I know the movie was bad? Because in previous movies QuickSilver had memorable, standout scenes but for the life of me I cannot remember what he did in his "big scene" in Dark Phoenix. Even the characters that are supposed to be the best, Charles and Magneto, are boring in this movie.
