Well, that's only because that idiot George Lucas sold Lucasfilm to Disney and then regretted it later. I swear he's getting senile. That would never have happened if he kept Lucasfilm at Fox.

And again, I wish that Fox had bought out Marvel entirely in the 1990s and not just X-Men and Fantastic Four.

Do you know, the animator for the Marvel anime, wants to rewrite her own third trilogy for Star Wars, AND... bring in the fans! This is a bit of a distant project, but she said she would soon announce that, and that project will have other animators working on it. I bet cash money, it'll be far superior to everything Disney's done concerning the last three movies.

Wow, really? That sounds awesome. I know I'd love for a trilogy to use some elements from the books, like Luke's wife, Mara Jade Skywalker.

Hi people!

I had already created a thread discussing something similar, but a mod informed me this is a better thread for said discussion.

I'd like to know from comic fans, what are some ideas YOU would have, as for what would make a good Phoenix story?

I am a part of two projects, one is an RPG, and the other being an anime series. In the RP, there's been a lot of tension over how to handle the Phoenix Saga. The admins have reached a decision, one that... hasn't entirely settled with all the members. The Jean Grey fans (well not all of them) are highly dissatisfied and have now demanded that we scrap the decision.

The vote went to a suggestion from an animator, who is working on a fan collab anime Marvel series. She offered her story, to which in short, uses the Phoenix Saga to introduce a new (and newly born) Cosmic Entity, who is too powerful to combat, even for the Phoenix. In need of a powerful host, the newborn Cosmic Entity finds one of the X-Men as the perfect host. His Mutant powers makes him the only Mutant fully compatible with the Cosmic Entity, granting it (or "him" as this X-Man) exceptional power over Creation itself. It needs its One True Host, so it/he may complete his mysterious mission, and find its place in the Cosmos.

The Phoenix urgently returns to Jean to combat the only rival it ever had, and... the only being the Phoenix actually fears. According to the animator, this Cosmic Entity is the only thing the Phoenix fears, due to a hidden ability it has; the Phoenix especially fears that bonded with such Mutant, he'll cause the Entity to unlock its true potential (a very creative power). this dynamic between Phoenix Jean and the fully Cosmically possessed X-Man, puts incredible strain on the X-Men, and they feel so helpless as their cosmically charged teammates fight, due to cosmic rivals over power.

The vote went to this story cuz it should have satisfied all sides. Many members didn't like Jean Grey to begin with, while others didn't mind her presence, but wanted someone else, NON-Grey related to be the Phoenix. Then of course, there were the Grey fans who demanded Jean be Phoenix still. I personally wanted the Phoenix to have a new One True Host, however... this other story is so awesome, seeing a new Cosmic Entity possessing this particular X-Man, and he's wielding these insane powers... I'm good. Jean remaining as Phoenix no longer matters to me. Plus, this gives Jean something actually COOL to do, and I like the idea of the Phoenix being challenged.

What story or plot idea would YOU suggest, that would... satisfy such a picky crowd?

It's great that she has Luke and Mara in her trilogy! I was pissed that JJ Abrams disregarded the novels and comics entirely. Even Lucas said that the novels "weren't canon," but many of them were a lot better than what we got from the new movies.

Welcome to the board.

So... this is the link I was actually forwarded, and saw lots of discussion here in regards to the Phoenix lol

Yes I came up with some ideas, and I'm WELCOMING ideas too! I'll be honest, of all the plots that are being created and received for the animated project, this one thing IS kinda my baby, as in its the only story in which I'm the primary contributor and writer.

But whatever you all had in mind, wanted to talk about, envision as far as a better Phoenix story... let's do it!
