So.Went and saw Dark Phoenix.

(no real spoilers)

Let me preface this by saying that I have been a fan of Jean Grey/Phoenix/Dark Phoenix for 30 years.

Thirty years.

She is my favorite comic book character. Forever.

And Simon Kinberg destroyed her.

The movie had ZERO character development, and was a series of boring dialogue after boring dialogue.

First off, hi! It's so good to see you, sweetie!

Secondly, I couldn't agree more. Dark Phoenix is a nuanced, complicated tale filled with heart. I was afraid from the start that they wouldn't do it, or Jean, justice. It's really sad, and frustrating, all at once.
