The Dark Phoenix Saga has been framed as a cautionary tale centered on how, as Lord Acton once wrote, "absolute power corrupts absolutely." However, it is a tragedy that illustrates the cumulative effects of grief, abuse, trauma, dissociation, and addiction. 1/36 #XSpoilers Image Technically, the "saga" begins after the X-Men battle Magneto, and Jean and Beast believe the rest of their teammates to be dead. Unbeknownst to them, however, the others have been transported to the Savage Land and believe Jean and Beast to be dead. 2/36 ImageImageImage

Her anguish is compounded when she fails to connect with her friend and former roommate Misty Knight before traveling abroad. 2/31

I don't see or feel Sadie Sink as Jean. She has the strange, cold and otherworldly look I associate more with the Stepford Cuckoos. Canonically, Jean is meant to be striking and exude warmth. Cockrum and Byrne modeled Jean after Farrah Fawcett and Raquel Welch, respectively. 1/3 ImageImage 2/3 Check out this article on Dave Cockrum and John Byrne's visual inspirations for Jean as Phoenix.

1/4 ImageImageImageImage 2/4 In this new reality, each team member's dream-turned-nightmare comes true.
