Now why does she get to wear pants?
“Don’t move, mutant, or I’ll blast!”
Guess he wants to get that money shot.
The earrings are a nice touch. Probably needed Wolverine to pierce her ears.
“My world, my rules, my choice of weapons!”
Seems like a fair fight.
So they were in the Matrix, right? And Cyclops is the one?
Seems legit.
Uh-oh. Kevin Bacon is pissed.
I love it. Shoot the floor out from under him. Fly out to the middle of the ocean and drop him. Bury him alive. He’s not unstoppable.
Slowly pushing a coin through his head is pretty effective too.
She’s reverse-Dorian Gray-ing him!
That, too. Probably my favorite villian defeat of any comic book movie.
“I am… The Dark Phoenix!”
And Scott, wearing sunglasses, shields his eyes.
She’s poorly named. 
Evil Phoenix just doesn’t sound right.
Naughty Phoenix?
She’s been a Bad, Bad Phoenix.
Having just read the original Dark Phoenix Saga, these episodes do real justice to the source material. A lot of shots were taken straight out of the comics. Although, instead of Gambit and Rogue held hostage by the Hellfire club, it was Nightcrawler and Colossus.
Awesome! I’m interested to see how the next two episodes hold up, as this is where the true emotion heft of the saga comes in.
I’m always impressed at how accurate the character design is to the art of the comics. For instance, here’s the White Queen, compared between the comic and the cartoon:
Very nice.
Tonight we’re wrapping up the Dark Phoenix Saga:[/b]
SEE: The X-Men defeated!
SEE: A solar system destroyed!
SEE: The X-Men go toe-to-toe with the Shi’ar Imperial Guard ON THE MOON!
SEE: One X-Man make the ultimate sacrifice!
Tonight at 9:00 PM Eastern!
Here we go…
“I am the Dark Phoenix!”
This is also territory that the third X-Men movie blundered through.
I love Rogue dumping Gambit in the pond. Nice to see them keeping some humor in it.
