       Do you need to know the story? It’s a prequel about how little Jean becomes Dark Phoenix. Or? Actually, I’m confused on the chronological order of the films, not the release dates but the story. I don’t remember what role she played earlier. If she did.

       Never mind. Let’s get on with this one.

       Well, look at that. Aliens and cosmic forces.

       Very dramatic.
