RELATED: X-Men: The Animated Series Needs a Revival Now More Than Ever She would allow the story world to expand and, of course, her presence would call for an epic confrontation resulting in a huge CGI fight sequence, as is almost customary among superhero films. Her existence almost demands meaningful exploration of all the characters involved in her story. It's a shame because the Dark Phoenix as a villain carries so much storytelling potential.

It is highly unlikely that the MCU will bring yet another adaptation of 'The Dark Phoenix Saga' to the big screen, regardless of whether or not Marvel Studios is capable of doing the plot and characters justice. More than a decade before Dark Phoenix, Fox released X-Men: The Last Stand, and it too is seen as a failed attempt at adapting the famous storyline. Right now, plenty of fans are still reeling from the failure of the X-Men franchise to adapt 'The Dark Phoenix Saga,' one of the most well known stories from the comics, not just once, but twice. Sinister just proved once again to be one of the best (or worst, according to perspective) X-Men villains ever, and his dastardly machinations may have stripped mutants of their immortality once and for all, all in service of remaking the entire Marvel Universe in his image.RELATED: Dark Phoenix: Director Simon Kinberg Reacts to Movie Flopping Even if Colossus says that there are contingency plans to bring Hope back, they're not tested, and there is no guarantee that they will work.Ĭould it be that the most important aspect of the new, and incredibly successful, X-Men era is gone forever? It is a bit unlikely, considering that the exposition to the world of the Resurrection Protocols was a huge plot point for the recently-concluded Judgment Day.

Sinister managed to do something that not even the most ruthless enemies of the X-Men did and completely crippled Krakoa.

In fact, during the war between Eternals and X-Men in Judgment Day, the Eternals' first plan of attack was trying to kill Hope, which was barely avoided by Wolverine. Due to them, characters' deaths have stopped being impressive in the X-Men comics, but Hope is a whole different matter because the whole system is built around her. The loss of Hope is particularly meaningful, because the entire Age of Krakoa, set up during House of X, was built upon the Resurrection Protocols. The events of this issue set up Marvel's new, big mutant event, Sins of Sinister, in which Essex reshapes the timeline in his image.
