5 Comic Book Storylines That Should Never Be Adapted (Again)
2. The Dark Phoenix Saga
The recent conclusion to the Fox era of X-Men movies, Dark Phoenix, was quite the disappointment.
This is due in large part to how it, much like the similarly ill-fated The Last Stand, tried to cram a storyline that spanned months in the comics down into two hours, with incredibly little build-up to it in the movies prior.
It was basically like if Endgame was the second Avengers film, rather than the fourth one, and all the related movies never released in - between the two.
With two failed attempts at bringing this iconic saga to the big screen, it should be allowed to rest. At the very least, allow for Jean Grey to go through some actual progression before making her the Dark Phoenix.
