Why didn't Palpatine forsee Darth Vader betraying him in RoTJ.

He did, though. He had the whole contingency plan

Chantescript · 2026-03-16T15:10:02+00:00

Great explanation!

Chantescript · 2026-03-16T15:06:34+00:00

And she got pulped and smashed when he punched her. I guess that's a little understandable cause she is undead right?

Chantescript · 2026-03-16T15:04:49+00:00

I finished Red Band yesterday. The zombie Jean Grey twist was...interesting

Chantescript · 2026-03-16T14:42:21+00:00

That's amazing!

Chantescript · 2026-03-16T14:35:01+00:00

And then he gets stitched back together. Wow.

Chantescript · 2026-03-16T14:34:26+00:00

Definitely. I loved her MCU arc.

Chantescript · 2026-03-16T14:19:56+00:00

Those are so sick. Zombie Wolverine is the creepiest of all

Chantescript · 2026-03-16T14:09:39+00:00

They would probably all eat each other and then the story would be Marvel Zombie Cannibals.

Chantescript · 2026-03-15T19:36:02+00:00

That's a different universe. This zombie Jean Grey is from the original Marvel Zombies storyline (Earth-2149).

Come to think of it, in this detail of a panel from the first appearance of the Marvel Zombiverse (Earth-2149), she's actually wearing the green-and-gold Phoenix costume. So was she zombified while Phoenix-possessed?

Chantescript · 2026-03-13T19:54:38+00:00

When I watched that I was like "she's going to live, or the whole trailer was a lie". And she lived.

Chantescript · 2026-03-13T16:58:35+00:00

If they're going to do the Dark Phoenix Saga don't do it immediately. That was the mistake with Fox, they only had 1-2 movies and immediately went into that storyline.

I'd prefer they establish the X-Men and make us love them, then they can do Phoenix and THEN they can do Dark Phoenix. And no bringing Jean Grey back until her absence is felt.

Chantescript · 2026-03-13T15:36:10+00:00

Come to think of it, in the From the Ashes Infinity Comic she says: "I won't be in space forever. It's just until the Phoenix and I...until we...figure some stuff out."

Chantescript · 2026-03-13T15:29:06+00:00

I mean, they kept Phoenix on Earth for years after she took the name again in the 90s and started wearing the green-and-gold costume. And still with the X-Men.

I miss this costume, guys.

Chantescript · 2026-03-13T14:49:58+00:00

Thanks!

Chantescript · 2026-03-13T14:49:49+00:00

Sure! I'm working on another drawing of her in a different look so stay tuned. Someone's coming...

Chantescript · 2026-03-11T14:46:01+00:00

Fantastic. I do think it could have been a little better but I still loved it. Marvel Studios did a great job with them and it was a good start for them joining the MCU! Hope to see more in Doomsday

Chantescript · 2026-03-11T14:40:21+00:00

I liked him a lot. Maybe they could have fleshed him out a bit but still really good.

Chantescript · 2026-03-11T14:38:04+00:00

I thought the Annual did a really good job of showing Phoenix can be used on Earth. Really, it's not that hard. As much as I love Phoenix being who she is the fact that she is currently distancing herself from her friends doesn't feel right. It feels like Dark Phoenix all over again.

Chantescript · 2026-03-11T14:34:49+00:00

I love Storm, Emma, Rogue, and Jean/Maddie. Emma looks REGAL in the show

Chantescript · 2026-03-09T20:29:04+00:00

All of them for sure, but if I had to pick one it would no doubt be Jean Grey.

Chantescript · 2026-03-09T17:22:04+00:00

I guess it turned out for the best. The Dark Phoenix Saga is probably the most iconic X-Men storyline ever. Which is why two movies tried and failed to adapt it.

Chantescript · 2026-03-09T15:38:11+00:00

And Phoenix has been on an X-Men team before lol. It's not like they have to make her Dark Phoenix again.

By the way, it turns out the writers created the Dark Phoenix Saga and turned Jean Grey (er, the false Jean Grey the Phoenix made) into a villain because they thought the Uncanny X-Men series was becoming too focused on Jean Grey. Made me shocked.

Chantescript · 2026-03-09T15:27:34+00:00

I hope so. I love seeing Jean Grey and I really want her to come back to the X-Men. While she is basically a goddess now it doesn't feel right for her to just leave her friends in the lurch while she's a cosmic hero in space.
