If we see the Phoenix force ever again it will most likely be for an AVENGERS VS X-MEN MOVIE

[@maximumeffort4902]

That's a movie worth watching

[@lunar8877]

Arkan NOA I hope not because that comic was not that great

[@CN-dl6fb]

@@lunar8877 Civil War wasn't good too,but the movie fixed it.

[@maximumeffort4902]

@@lunar8877 yea the comic could've used a bit more work but the cinematic universe could probably make it work. like in the comics where certain characters from the x men team up with or fight members of the avengers. such as wolverine and the hulk, or thor vs juggarnaut. Im pretty confident marvel studios can make it happen and it be successful. although the mcu avengers are going different ways , so the recasting might make it difficult but im still sure they could pull it off.

Best version of the Phoenix Saga that Fox did is the Animated one

[@urickmann7768]

agreed but even then it was off

the animated phoenix saga of the 90s will ALWAYS be masterful! a long with the whole series and the comic books

I saw The Dark Phoenix story on the 90"s X-Men cartoon. I liked it. That led me to reading the story in a trade paperback. I absolutely loved it!

Still cant belive they never made a season 2 of wolverine and the xmen after all these years i mean look at young justice. It may have only been about 4 years but still.

Gabriel AJ i expected it to flop the box office. Because trilogies with fox aren't that good nor great, with the trilogies having a bad reputation with fox, imagine what a fourth film would be. So it's kinda expected tbh.

@@youtubeuser6762 Dunno a buddy of mine seen it and while not the greatest thing ever made, he said it wasn't all that bad either. At least decent by FOX movie standards. He doesn't think the movie deserves as much hate as it got. I might try to find on DVD some time if it's out. I'm behind on X-MEN movies anyway.

I enjoy watching your videos and always hoped to see my favorite Marvel character's history of episode. With the history of Dark Phoenix I thought I'd hear his name but only heard his team mentioned once. We now have two live action Dark Phoenix stories. Each time I thought, "this is it...here we go"! Uh, nope. So can you please consider doing a Gladiator / Imperial Guard history of? That would be beyond greatly appreciated.

[@xjp1998]

have to say as an old x-men fan got to say Rachel Summers was outstanding as the Phoenix and her battle with Galactic was really outstanding. And when Scott and Jean found out exactly who she was and she is there standing in front of Jean and Rachel is the Phoenix and not Jean talk about a moment that was omg some great story was really written.

The Phoenix Force has proven to be a strong entity of power in life I wonder how powerful the Phoenix horse will be if connected to Thanos or beyonder but I feel like bionda wouldn't let that happen due to him having so much power I think the Phoenix force is actually very special because I just like the Phoenix was very much that's all the Phoenix force is actually well was actually one of my favorite Cosmic entities

Hey Arris! Can you do the History of Devilman video to commemorate Devilman Crybaby Season 2, if only it's happened for Netflix.

Imagine Rogue with the Phoenix force

[@seekertoothetruth.7470]

She can't control it.

[@warhorse5152]

I don't understand you what I’m saying is Rogue damn near absorbed every mutant in the comics. The way I see it is she would use every ones powers combined For example ....... There’s a big ass battle with apocalypse(infinity gauntlet) he controls mostly every form of life in his path Fast forward Jean And Rogue are close to dying Jean’s cells has Been rearranged to the point where not even the Phoenix force can’t function properly so it looks for a new host... That’s where Rogue comes in comes in. Jean’s broken, deformed hand reaches out to at Rogue to Pass on The Phoenix force+ the last remaining piece of her life force. Now armed with this newfound, terrifying power, our hero has everything she needs to save the Galaxy from the ancient mutant Rogue is now faster and stronger then she’s ever been in her entire life

I want to start reading comics both Marvel and DC, but don’t know where to start, i would really appreciate a reply for this favor, as I’ve been wanting to ask for too long. Ive asked multiple people online but no answers were given to me. If you decided to read this and take your time with making a list for me, it’d mean the world to me, thanks.

[@vixmaister]

I recommend Amazing Fantasy (or the first series of Spider-Man). The Infinity trilogy including infinity gauntlet, infinity war, and the infinity crusade. The whole Annihilation series and annihilation saga. And watchmen. Of course there are many others but you would have to figure out what suits your likings better.....

At some point in your life read these DC comics probably in this order but these are greats so you may want to spread them out Batman Year One Batman The Long Halloween Batman Dark Victory Batman The Killing Joke Man and Superman (100 page spectacular) Hush Identity Crisis Batman The Black Mirror Batman The Court of Owls Injustice Saga (including Injustice 2) Superman Red Son Batman The Dark Knight Returns Kingdom Come Watchmen

[@ifeanyiokonkwo7130]

The Phoenix Force is one of the most feared beings in existence. It has the power to destroy or regrow any part of the universe. It is the source of ALL psionic energy. It’s the embodiment of all current and future life, therefore it is the representation of the very life-force of the multiverse. It is the literal embodiment of the passion of creation; it is that spark that gave life to the universe, and the flame that would ultimately destroy it. I don’t understand how some people don’t see just how powerful the Phoenix is.

Just got home after watching it and I have to disagree with everyone bashing the movie. I thought this movie was very good. I thought it had everything from light hearted, violence and dark, and everything in between. And it sure as hell was better than Origins IMO. The things I didn't like is not enough Phoenix IMO, not enough showing of the power, the aliens aren't explained at all who they are, the final fight could have been longer and more climatic and more of showing the power of the Phoenix force, and that unnamed telepath was somehow able to find Jean but Xavier couldn't. That's pretty much it I think. I would give this movie a B+.

[@jessicabellandy5687]

The problem I have with the movie is that the Phoenix force is it's own entity... The movie portrays it as some mental instability in jean grey and so killing her solved the problem, but that's not how it would work.
