it *was* about Jean, but Rogue surely deserved to be given more importance.
And they never really went anywhere with it, beyond hinting this Jean will also turn into Phoenix. However, since there isn't going to be a season 5, we don't get to see Evo!Phoenix in action. Damn them.
However, in regards to my "Phoenix vs Dark Phoenix" comment, it wasn't wholly accurate. It's actually supposed to be *Dark* Phoenix vs Dark Phoenix. If one of them still retained some sense of self, the duel would probably be more like Phoenix/Everyone vs Dark Phoenix. Which isn't fun. The idea of Dark Phoenix vs Dark Phoenix vs Everyone is more in tune with my wishlist. ;) It makes for greater peril on all fronts.
You better sue them if this goes about. You had the idea first. Heh.
Heee. Well, it's not a stretch to think evolution will be the primary antagonist in the next movie, considering how they're going to be explaining Jean's changes... and Dark Phoenix really is an inevitability imo.
My theory spurned from wondering if it's only Jean's "evolution" the X-Men have to worry about. In what other (less expected) ways could evolution become a problem?

Oh yeah. Loved it. That fic is really something I wouldn't mind seeing for Rogue in "X3". It's not everyone hates Rogue, but loves Jean. It's no where near that simplistic. It's just the X-Men get distrated by the exceedingly crazy things going on with Jean... and probably MRA, Sentinals or whatever other villains in the story... they can't pay attention to much else, and that just happens to include Rogue's issues. I don't think the X-Crew would be brave enough to end the X-Men movies like Macha did her fic... but that idea of total despair and desperation (even though she has so many people who care around her) is something I can see really working for Movie!Rogue. Much for the fact Anna is playing her and Anna's forté is drama.
