The #1 comic story that should NEVER have been retconned.

[@Dracobyte]

What do you mean?

[@plucas1]

@@Dracobyte I'm an old timey comic reader, and read the series when it first came out. Originally, Jean Grey WAS Phoenix; it was just a name she took for herself, and she was responsible for everything Dark Phoenix did. It's why sacrificing herself to save everyone from her dark side had such emotional resonance., and the X-Men comic got a lot of great character moments not only form her death, but from everyone reacting to it and remembering it. It's what really catapulted that run of X-Men from merely good to classic status. But some fan boy creators like John Byrne whined about her dying despite the fact that it was the only thing that had ever made an otherwise bland character interesting. So he concocted the retcon that Jean Grey was never Phoenix, that it was a cosmic entity that created an imposter Jean Grey to absolve her of wrongdoing. The 'real' Jean Grey was found in a stasis pod, having never actually been the Phoenix. Except that robbed the earlier story of all its emotional and dramatic weight, and nullified all that great character development on the part of everyone grieving for her. It would be like in Return of the Jedi Darth Vader going 'just kidding!' about being Luke's father.

[@yehiaelswaify1989]

IKR , they keep retconning it, best version is having Phoenix as part of Jean Grey's powers in my own opinion, in fact this was the original story of the Phoenix Saga as a whole.

I remember they brought it back up again when they split the Phoenix power into five people

[@13579hee]

@@plucas1 no. The Phoenix was a cosmic entity before Jean Grey went bad and turned into the dark Phoenix. I could be wrong, but I think you're confusing the Phoenix being its own entity with the Phoenix creating a copy of Jean Grey body and jeans body still being in a cocoon healing. That part about her body being cloned years later, but the Phoenix Saga class president the Phoenix Force as its own entity

The ending of this reminded me of the Dark Phoenix Saga moment in the cartoon where Scott and Jean are the last two left and Cyclops is convinced that she is cured and can use the power of her mind to fight the Phoenix so things can be ok again. Jean quite poignantly tells Cyclops "Maybe I can control it now but how can I go moment to moment, every second of every day never slipping?" Cyclops had no answer for that so she ran for the path of the Shi'ar's giant death beam at the end of the ship so they could blow her up and it worked. I swear that cartoon could bring you to tears once per episode it was so good.

[@araquen6360]

Good summation of the original story. Folks need to remember that Jean was supposed to stay dead, because Jim Shooter insisted that once John Byrne drew in the genocide bit (that Claremont originally DID NOT include), ethically, the character had to die. It was TEN YEARS before Bob Layton devised a way to redeem the Jean Grey character by making the Phoenix force a separate entity. Everything since then has been new writers constantly regurgitating the Dark Phoenix saga in some form to the point that the original story almost seems like an alternate universe story. Claremont originally wanted Jean to lose her powers, and then be tempted to gain them back, but refuse them - a story later repurposed for Storm.

[@agentofchaos7456]

Nitpick: It was six years, not ten.

[@christopherlockery9629]

As great that the original story was I would like to see a What if type mini series where the saga ended the way Claremont intended, thus leading the X Men into a whole lot of moral dilemmas whereby they defend Jean from various aliens who would have been out for her blood, in order to avenge the mass murders that she committed as the Dark Phoenix, of whom they would have every moral right to do so, only for the X Men to be like ' Jean is one of us and while we are all sorry about what happened to all of you poor aliens, you aren't going to be allowed to get any kind of justice while we are around, so you all just go home, if you still have one that is, and face the facts that terrible things happen to people all the time even to those who don't deserve it' The aliens could be like 'well your comrade destroyed a planet full of asparagus people, and robbed loads of families of their fathers and husbands, families who are all in mourning for their loved ones protectors and providers plus there were also a lots of cadets and female crew members of that battle ship thus she killed tons of women and children too. We are mad and we want to get even'. The aliens could then be defeated in their attempt to wipe out the entire population of Earth, then the mutant race would be even more hated and feared than ever before thanks to the fact that Earth would become the target of multiple alien attacks, whereby the arguments listed above would be exchanged over and over to all of the various alien armies and hit men sent out to see that justice is done for the universe, only for it to be forever denied to them In fact I feel that this would be an interesting direction for the regular comics to have taken back in the day as I'm sure that Claremont would have had found it to be a source of many a moral dilemma for the characters to engage in, as I feel that it would have given the X Men, and also their various associated teams and solo heroes at that time, a position whereby the reader's would have been sympathetic towards people who could be seen as villains, not anti heroes you understand as they at that time were clearly presented as heroes who played rough and who broadened a lot over their dark pasts, yet it was made very clear that they were the good guys, but rather villains of whom were not only the headliners of their book, but who also did good deeds, such as saving the world for people who hate and fear them from various menaces, but who also in their very act of evil, that is saving the Earth from aliens who only want justice, in fact benefited the human race and likewise all of the wonderful characters the all know and love, by having a world that they can all their own, the price of that being, justice being denied for beings who are just as valid them for justice. I think that this would be a very good idea for a mini series to explore, I know that this idea may have been flogged to death in fan fiction, but as it stands I'm yet to see it in official media from Marvel. P.S. sorry if I rambled on a bit, as it happens I am somewhat tired as in is midnight where I am typing this thus I am very tired in fact I am just going to go to bed now. PPS sorry about the typos

I believe it was Kurt Busiek who actually came up with the Phoenix retcon - making the Phoenix Force a separate entity that just copied Jean's form and memories - he just told his idea to Bob Layton and Layton wrote it into his comic (with credit to Busiek).

Love this! The comic book story of phoenix force/dark phoenix is so complex that it maybe deserving of a movie trilogy of itself, I mean it was extended upon the Phoenix Resurrection story. Just my opinion. But we'll see on June next year if the second dark phoenix movie adaptation is worth it.

One of my favorite moments in this story is the reverse fastball special. Wolvie knows he can't kill Jean because he already tried. On the moon, the lighter gravity lets him throw Colossus at her. He doesn't kill her, but knocks some sense into her for a moment.

you obviously didnt read the phoenix saga and like all the other fakes only know about the retcon verse. get a job, buy the original comics. facts are facts. the whole "phoenix force" thing didnt exist until AFTER jean was found by the avengers in a cocoon at the bottom of jamaica bay

[@whitephoenixofthecrown8523]

@@serenityq26 loool. U obviously didn't saw my profile name. Have a nice day rudie

[@phoenixshadow6633]

According to Claremont and the comics, it wasn't originally a cosmic force of fire and life. Instead, it was just the full potential of Jean Grey. It was retconned later down the line from the force of life and death to a force of cosmic annihilation.

[@whitephoenixofthecrown8523]

@@phoenixshadow6633 i am aware of it.😄😄

[@cheesequest]

Completely agree. Not sure where this new retcon is coming from? In the original comics the Phoenix Force offered Jean her “heart’s desire” in order to help the X-men. It was a separate entity, not the her “full potential.”

[@jackwimmer2249]

Wow. Most adaptations of the Dark Phoenix saga called the group of people trying to brainwash Jean Gray ”the Inner Circle.” I never would have thought that Disney would have it in them to say the actual original name of the group.

[@DracoInduperator]

Well technically their both correct, IIRC. The Inner Circle is the elite members of the Hellfire club. The Queens and Kings if you will.
