Dark Phoenix
“Houston, we have a problem.”
I really do love Jean Grey. But god they did her a bit wrong in this one. Barely any depth into her charachter, just displaying her as this girl who her family didn’t want and she always thought she was broken and like her relationship with Scott. Thats it. I saw more personality in Apocalypse in those few seconds she had with Logan. Anyhow, I still think it was a pretty good movie except for killing Raven off. Her death was SO unnecessary and its effect was nearly nothing. No one really cared when it should have been a global tragedy. This is the Mystique we’re talking about here. I would have honestly expected so much more from Charles. Cheers to you, Hank. You were right, Raven;
“*And by the way the women are always saving the men around here, you might want to change the name to X-Women.”

Same issue with Scott. I know damn well he’s not just a kid who cares about his girlfriend-I know this movie wasn't about him but I feel like the earlier movies always displayed charachters individually even when not centered. Anyhow.
If I was the professor I would be so damn done with all of them. Every time he goes after them, he lost his legs yet he never fails to chase any of these people and literally for a lot of the time they treat him horribly. Like have some gratitude. You sometimes forget how much he’s lost. He was once just a kid like you too.
Also I just want to say Kurt being displayed as this kind, thoughtful and caring character, a bit on the weak side, going absolutely feral over a father dying has to be my favorite piece of character work ever. Hufflepuffs unite!
