Why is Jean Grey's Phoenix being bundled? - YGTRD podcast #11

Recorded 1/31/21! Forgot about this episode, was going through my files and realized there's quite a few that I haven't finished or simply not released. I was always curious why they felt the need to bundle Jean Grey's Phoenix storyline with something else. Famke's Jean was brilliant in X2, and even despite all the characters and stories going on, she really shined because of the finale. So why 'the cure' in 2006s X-Men: The Last Stand, and the D'Bari in 2019s Dark Phoenix? Jean doesn't even do much destruction, and isn't the focus. The D'Bari could make for its own movie, and perhaps have The Phoenix return to help our heroes fight them off, after having her own storyline. Same with the cure, but for gosh sakes why are they afraid to give Jean's Phoenix her own movie?!


I wonder what plans Singer had during or after making 2016s X-Men: Apocalypse, if he wanted to finally deliver his version? Think about the recent tray of X-Men movies, with villains like Sebastian Shaw, Trask, Apocalypse, while they had their teams- they were the ultimate threat in those installments. Apoc was in the title of the movie, not bundled with another subplot. So why call it Dark Phoenix when you are focusing more on the D'Bari?
