Jean died at the end of this movie, but was alive at the end of Days Of Future Past.


How do they explain that?

She is reborn at the end. The last shot is of an orange flicker in the sky thus the Phoenix re-entering the atmosphere.

I bet that was a last minute decision by someone when they realised Jean was alive at end of DOFP .. like 'quick paint something orange in the atmosphere before the picture is locked!' 😄

She got better.

That whole continuity thing was crushed when Wolverine Origins came out. Cyclops is a teenager in that movie and he's a teenager in Dark Phoenix which is at least a decade later. There are probably a dozen other times it doesn't make sense.

These guys did a weird reboot and said screw it to the fans.

I just handwave it away as different timelines.
