The Missing Mutant - Changing X-Men Dark Phoenix

I am a humongous X-Men fan. I love the shows, comics, movies, and games. I mean, as I write this description, I am reading the new X-Force 4 by Benjamin Percy. And, even thought it was fine, I found Dark Phoenix incredibly disappointing.
And I don't think this movie could necessarily be "fixed" since there are so many fundamental problems with these movie. So instead of changing the entire movie, I am going to simply ask a question. One that I thought about as I left the theater. And then I'm going to see if that answer could improve the movie.

[@thestarwarsguy1821]

Emma Frost can cheat death like Charles did. Magneto went to prison in 64. Emma Frost died in 63 when JFK was shot before Magneto was arrested, X-Men Origins takes place in 85 (I'll explain why that is if you're interested), and Tanya Tahzi, the Origins Emma actress was 22 years old when she filmed origins. When Emma died in 63 she did a consciousness transfer into a braindead foetus inside Kayla Silverfox's mother becoming Emma Silverfox/ Frost. If you do the maths 1985-1963= 22 years, the age of the actress who played her in Origins. Enough time has passed in the real world for Tanya Tozzi to be the right age to play Emma in the 90s when Dark Phoenix is set.

[@srstriker6420]

TheStarWars Guy well are some mutants are immortal I think

[@GeneralBulldog54]

The 90’s X-Men cartoon was what got me into the comics growing up. It was also the reason why I got Disney+ (outside of Gargoyles and Avengers: EMH). As for X-Men movie, it’s tied between First Class, X2 and Logan. If Marvel Studios can top all of those, then they have my gratitude and no wrong. However, I doubt they’ll go as far as Logan smoking, even have half the inspiration of Archangel’s rebirth to Metallica’s Four Horsemen in Apocalypse or Nightcrawler’s White House attack in the tune of Mozart’s Dies Irae or the heart of Charles and Eric’s friendship in the First Class movies.

[@Levyathyn]

I would literally pay all of my money if and some kind of future, better story with a better role for Darwin, he just appears because instead of dying his powers teleported them into a story that wouldn't convolute his own death.

[@marcusi.7740]

Darwin has some of most visually interesting powers that would make for creative fight scenes. I don’t really care if he didn’t actually die but I just wanted to see more of him. In the comics he has gone toe to toe with stronger beings than Sebastian Shaw

[@claytongriffith8323]

[@EricGraham94]

Dark Phoenix would’ve been a better movie if it had focused on just the drama WITHIN the X-Men. It’d be a nice deviation from the human/mutants conflict that’s permeated the series (maybe the only other tertiary villain could’ve been Mister Sinister; he could’ve been partially what triggered Jean to tap into the Phoenix Force in say a telepathic battle reminiscent of Scanners).

[@AlessioAlessi]

No way! It makes 0 sense to use a villain as Sinister in a movie that is supposed to have its own villain already (The Dark Phoenix).

[@srstriker6420]

Alessio Alessi or what about Deadpool 2

It would have been better not made but another film entirely with Mr Sinister as villain especially since his name was teased in a previous film

When they revealed Jessica's casting I immediately thought she was Emma, was convinced even seeing her in black (emma even started wearing black in the comics) and as you've pointed out, it makes complete sense for it to be Emma.

This Ema Frost plan sounds very interesting Many villians are always about controlling the world, but very few are about keeping that control in check Seeing what is basically the 1% with a likeable yet questionable plan of keeping peace using manipulation opens a lot of ideas and arguments to talk about

[@Magnus1964]

I really like the conspiracy/intrigue approach. I come back to this a lot in thinking about the “how to” of superhero movies. When you a character or team with amazing powers & skills, the answer isn’t always to pair them up with their villainous equivalent. For example: the JLU season dealing with The Cadmus Project. That super team was not prepared for a completely amoral covert government program. It forced them to think strategically, rather than in terms of straightforward battle. It’s why Winter Soldier worked so well as a Captain America movie. The X-Men’s most memorable battles are often against elements of society rather than ordinary supervillains. It adds to the drama that the X-Men just want to be accepted as part of that society...

[@mon_nobi]

Right! This Inner Circle mutant illuminati idea fills in so many plot holes that it almost makes the craziness of the live action Xmen universe make sense. I mean with so many large scale mutant-human relations crises accumulating through the series of films you'd think that instead of only having Charles winning humanitarian awards, you'd see him struggling to fight back against the anti-mutant rhetoric out there in the world, so he shuts it out (whereas Emma Frost doesn't, which sorta proves her point and fuels her agenda). I love it. Also i absolutely love the JLU Cadmus arc! I think that was really what first opened my eyes to the depth of superhero fiction. It's actually what i really wanted to be the multifilm background bad guys for the DCEU, sorta like Hydra was for MCU. Ugh now i just wanna talk about it but dont want this comment getting too long, lol

[@JohnSmith-xg9wx]

Long story short: The main antagonist in X-Men: First Class should have been Mr. Sinister not Sebastian Shaw. If you've ever gone down the rabbit hole of what Bryan Singer's X-Men 3 would have been then you already know that he planned on using Emma Frost as the antagonist using empathy to manipulate The Phoenix. The story was very similar to what happens in Dark Phoenix so much so that it's easy to imagine Vuk and the D'bari as Emma and the Hellfire Club. I was thinking it in the theatre as I was watching as most X-Men fans were. They miscast Emma in First Class (January Jones was not the original actress cast in the role for the record), then killed her offscreen writing themselves into a hole. There definitely should have been one or two movies before Dark Phoenix establishing relationships and the team but it ultimately should have been the Hellfire Club vs. Lilandra (Jessica Chastain) and the Shi'ar vs. the X-Men fighting over Jean; the Hellfire Club wanting to harness the Phoenix Force, the Shi'ar wanting to destroy it and the X-Men trying to save Jean. Fox blew the story twice so I doubt we'll ever see another live action Dark Phoenix saga in our lifetime.

[@ChangedMyNameFinally69]

They also killed off Nightcrawler's dad

[@Jordacar]

I've been kicking around ideas to "fix" Dark Phoenix as well, and we definitely have some common ground there. My main thrust was similar, but I was going to replace Vuk with Selene, leading a revived Hellfire Club, and that's who Chastain would be playing. But the scenes you outlined were so perfect, I'm warming up to bringing back Emma. However, I would bring back January (I'm a softie and think she deserves another shot), while Chastain would still be Selene.

[@master-of-many-fandoms2020]

I love that he made us think he was going to end with just placing Emma but did a complete 180 and continued the video by telling the story of Dark Phoenix with Emma in it.

[@Theraot]

19:05 I think that is why they didn't use her. Why did they need a villain? Because movies have villains? Because Jean needed a place to go to after going to Erick? Because they wanted a big fight at the end? Yeah, Vuk has no Pathos, you can remove her and all the emotion of the movie is still there. She is there for the final fight.

[@Glennstevenson822]

I absolutely love this and totally thought the same thing. Emma Frost would have made a lot more sense & could have motivated Jean a lot more organically. It would have been nice for January Jones to get a meatier role and it would make perfect sense that she could have faked her death - a lot more sense than her actually dying, tbh. Loved the conversation on telepathy, beautifully written.

Funny I ran across this video because I saw on comicbookmovie.com a new version of the Hellfire Club was going to be in this film. The members included Emma, Shinobi Shaw, Leland, Red Lotus Gang and I think someone else. However I like your fixes what I would add is they go with the ultimate storyline and that Jean is the host for the Phoenix god that has risen over the millennia in a certain telepath. Thus they could’ve introduced the Church of Shi’ar, Lilandra and a few members of the Imperial Guard.

[@adamkramer18]

This is a really fun movie pitch! love it Nando!

[@robertmckinnon7003]

Emma didn't have her secondary mutation during the time of The Phoenix Saga (the first story). Or, even if you keep her into the Dark Phoenix Saga. Also, her powers weren't (at the time) on the level of the Professor or Jean. Neither were Masterminds. But, he was using a device to boost them. And space is very important to both stories. Space is where we encounter the Phoenix Force for the first time. It's in space that Phoenix commits her great crime of murdering an entire planet. The real problem of these two tellings of these two Sagas; is the fact that they are Sagas; and they're trying to force these two epics into a singular movies that tells one story.

[@michaelwilliamson7590]

[@c3r6s9]

they showed bits of the bar scene in the trailers and i was so excited, despite myself, to see emma frost. i also had this idea that they might personify the phoenix force and have it talk to jean through that actress. neither of those things panned out and instead they made it boring aliens! lol

[@nokiahmotorz01]

In the comics, the D'bari are one of the many races whose planet was destroyed by the Phoenix Force but other than that, they seem really different to what we saw in the movie. I mean Vuk's claim to fame seems to be that one time he(yes, he) turned most of the Avengers to stone. So...why use them in the first place? If they're going to be so significantly changed, why not any of the other hordes of alien races that have closer ties to the X-Men if they wanted to go the whole alien route?

[@BeastlyHaxorz]

I just realized Dark Phoenix is pretty much the only super hero movie I haven't seen in like 10 years. And I'm content with that.

[@harrissyed1417]

To be quite frank, there was actually concept art released by someone on Instagram that showed the Hellfire Club a very comic accurate version to be precise were going to show up in X-Men: Dark Phoenix. Plus if I were writing X-Men: Dark Phoenix I would have added the Hellfire Club and the Shi'ar Empire respectively as part of the film in the same roles they occupy in the comics that would make for a far better adaptation that we actually got.
