What is your opinion on Jean grey as the pheonix?(Xmen comics & the movies?)?

Question

Some people think she is awesome, others just think she is annoying and ask themselves "will she ever just stay dead?" so what is your opinion?

Answer 1

In the movie she was a poor ripoff of the girl in Silent Hill.

In the comic she is a very important character (even though most people have gotten annoyed by her) she is the herald of the Phoenix the most powerful entity in the universe. Jean Grey has died many times but she will never truly be died till the Phoenix choices a new host and throughout the run of the character there has only been 4 people that could handle it's power besides Jean and all are dead but one(X-Man:died, Legion:died, Prometheus:died, and Franklin Richards: child). So until that change happens she will never stay died, she will just keep being reborn.

Answer 2

Hi again, well The Phoenix of course lives true to her name. But I thought there where two Madelyne Pryor and Jean Grey...but who knows..the Xmen storyline is so complex. I havent seen the new movie but in the comics, it seems like Phoenix still may have some role to play, possibly from a future dimesion. I like phoenix, and Jean Grey, although my favorite Xmen characters are usually villians (Juggernaut,Magneto etc)

Answer 3

The movie version was cool...more so visually than anything else...but I definitely have an emotional connection to the comic version. Sure, the vast cosmic powers thing is cool...and sure, being able to eat an entire sun is cool...but for me, it's her innate ability to do no wrong. Jean epitomized what it means to be a superhero. She always did what was best for world…for the universe, even if it meant destroying herself.

And as far as her staying dead, for me it’s not a matter of if she returns, but when and how.

“I am fire! And life incarnate! Now and forever--I am Phoenix!”

Answer 4

The pair in the link are actually the first decent pair I have seen.. But my general opinion is Noo..They are going out of fashion (grey) or they are anyway in London.. At the moment black, dark blue and a very light blue (All skinny) are in fashion ..Bearing in mind this is London..Ignoring fashions..I think that they are very hard to match with tops and look classy..Especially in your late 20's..However I love skinny jeans.

Answer 5

I just saw the movie tonight and I think shes the best fit for it, I mean anyone else and it wouldn't be as cool a plot but I was sad at the end of the movie but happy at the same time. I don't know if I was of any help.

Answer 6

yeah, the whole 'kill her, then bring her back to life, then kill her again' thing gets old after a while, but initially, she was a good character, and i thought she was one of the few actors in the film that did the character real justice - you could imagine she was the jean grey from the comics.
yeah, she annoys me sometimes, and i think she's always better when cyclops isnt around - but maybe that's just cos he bugs the hell outta me!!!

Answer 7

i think she could be really cool but the movie didnt show that at all. it would of been cool to actually see the phoenix you know with the wing and fire like in the comics. the only thing the movie really show were those stupid faces she made. they could have done a much better job portraying her.

Answer 8

the dark Phoenix arc from marvel comics is one of the best story lines in comic history! Jean is one of the founding members of the x-men and her death and rebirth and death again,affected all the members. get your hands on the reprints during Chris claremont's run on x-men you wont be disappointed!

Answer 9

For me she is totally awesome coz' she's the MOST powerful mutant ever, I mean she's a class 5 her powers are limitless int the movie and in the comix she's the only one who could imprison Apocalypse!!!........so she is the most awesome and the best character.

Answer 10

They went off on X-Men 3 But it was a good movie.
