r/PhoenixForce

I’m going back and rewatching the first couple X-Men movies in preparation for Doomsday. The Jean Grey in the Spiderman movie was extremely strong and I could see how she could become an Omega-level mutant capable of harboring the phoenix force. But these older X-men movies show Jean learning at an older age and visibly struggling to manage her abilities. They do show her getting stronger but I just don’t see how she could get strong enough to be one of the most powerful superheroes in Marvel. I haven’t watched all of the X-men movies just because the cast changes so much and I know they are known for not being very good. I’m just wondering why they nerfed her powers so much and/or if she gets significantly more powerful in later movies? Do you think they’ll show her true strength in future MCU movies?
