Mutation is the cornerstone of evolution and the absolute essence of the X-Men’s universe. Whether on the comic book page or the silver screen, this franchise has managed to captivate audiences with its iconic characters and memorable stories. That’s undoubtedly why the X-Men films helped lead the charge regarding superhero movies taking over Hollywood, shaping the genre for an entire generation since their debut film in 2000.The opening scene of any film is arguably the most important of all. Every movie, especially if it’s a superhero blockbuster, is designed to grab the audience’s attention and hold it for nearly two hours or more. Throughout its franchise history, the X-Men movies have succeeded spectacularly and sometimes failed miserably at accomplishing this feat.More than just that, Dark Phoenix’s opening scene abandoned the continuity set-up in X-Men: The Last Stand, where audiences were shown Jean’s original recruitment by Xavier and Magneto. In a vacuum, that’s a forgivable sin due to how poorly received The Last Stand was (as well as the timeline shenanigans of Days of Future Past). Unfortunately, Dark Phoenix would also bomb, and its opening moments made even less of an impact.
