Especially with scenes in FIRST CLASS that show that he grew up in Westchester County, New York.

Don't believe Comcast will stop the merger. Disney's $52 billon deal includes Disney STOCK. Sounds better than what Comcast offered to me.

-C!

First, no build to it. Sophie Turner was (mis)cast as Jean in 2016. One film later we are on to Dark Phoenix. It doesn't work very well if we've spent no time living with the character and leaning to love the character.

Second, they appear to have left out nearly all the story elements! Hey, we love the story so much that we just have to tell it! One small catch -- we're going to change everything!

There is nothing I could glean from the trailer that indicated to me that they were being faithful, in the least, to the brilliant Dark Phoenix Saga source material; and, as if it needs to be said, once again, we are being (mis)treated to THE X-MEN starring MYSTIQUE!

Perhaps the worst sin of all was that even as a decades-long comics fan, who can recite the Phoenix/Dark Phoenix Sagas chapter and verse, by memory, I couldn't really make heads nor tale of any plot - bad or good.

Completely disgusted,

No sense that Lilandra will be in this. It just looks boring. & after the last two, which were boring, I can’t see me watching this.

In defense of DARK PHOENIX (and the one plus of casting Sophie Turner), at least it doesn't appear to be a love story between Wolverine and Jean.

This isn't just some idiot. They literally hired the guy who wrote the screenplay of The Last Stand to write AND direct this movie! Not sure who thought that was a good idea. He also has a screenwriting credit for Fantastic Four (2015). I wonder who's nephew he is. 

Let's see:

1. Ignore almost completely the original story.

2. Make Xavier the bad guy (corresponding to the last 20 years of storyline as opposed to anything actually good).

3. Make Magneto the good guy (corresponding to the last 30 years of storyline as opposed to the first 30 years).

4. Focus on Beast ?!?

5. Continue to make Scott irrelevant or minor (at least it doesn't appear they have completely corrupted him as in the last 15 years of comics).

6. Throw the Shi'ar in probably without any logial reason (but because the Guardians of the Galaxy movies made buckets more of money).

I made myself see X-Men: Apocalypse even though I detest the Apocalypse character.

I feel as if I now have the strength of will to resist seeing an X-Men movie.  From going from my favorite book of all-time (circa 1980) I can now cure myself of having any expectations.

Similar to how The Last Jedi cured my innate need for Star Wars, this trailer has finally severed my last expectation of ever having a faithful X-Men movie.

That all being said, I really really hope Marvel finds a way to publish the awesome Elsewhere book John Byrne just did.  

THAT looks fantastic.
