I made a comment earlier in another subredddit that by the time the iron man movie came out, it felt like he had always been on the precipice of breaking into the mainstream. Once that first movie connected with audiences, the character of Tony Stark and the popularity of Iron Man never looked back

Granted, a lot of that had to do with RDJ being as big of a personality as he became with that role.

I do feel that by putting Scott and Jean at the forefront, and Scott being the leader of the team, could also put him on a path even greater than ‘97 did .

With so many years of character development since those early 2000s movies, there’s so many new stories to tell in this new generation that moviegoers haven’t seen.

A character like the Scott that inspired this subreddit, in today’s day and age would be one that could prove to be incredibly well received.

IF DONE RIGHT of course

And what are some that you would like to read ?

I for one would love Doom/Magneto

They butchered him with nerfs, now gorr is doing it again. How many times will loki die ??

I do believe that it’s possible for the MCU to build up to the Phoenix saga, but it cannot be a one-off story.

There has to be long build up, after Jean has proved herself a heroine again and again. Long after Jean and Scott have fallen in love and we’ve established her friendships with Rogue and Storm.

But with the MCU being the setting, and her friendship with Peter and others in the future, I truly think that the climax of the saga could be a movie like X-Men/Avengers: Phoenix. It’d take everyone to challenge the threat of Jean.

What do you think, or should they stay away from Phoenix completely

The story was wonderfully written, the art was incredible, and Doom & Strange’s coexistence was so fun to read through. This is the most frightening I’ve seen Mephisto. And the climax was beyond what I even imagined. I. think it needs to be talked about more.
