X-Men: The Dark Phoenix Saga
So, having just finished re-reading The Dark Phoenix Saga, all I can say is Fuck Chris Clairmont and John Byrne for what they did to Jean Grey, and fuck Jim Shooter in particular for the editorial edict that demanded Jean Grey die.
Especially fuck the fact that NO ONE ever seems to take into account what the Hellfire Club did Jean in this story. Mastermind spends issues violating and twisting Jean's mind, stripping away her morality, conditioning her to enjoy cruelty and brutality.
Essentially, rewriting her entire personality into "evil" mode, while stripping away her self restraint. Then, of course, instead of Jean being allowed to heal, being allowed to recover from the way she was traumatized and violated, she get all the blame for what happened.
I'm just going to say it, loud and clear. Jean wasn't responsible for what happened to the D'Bari, or any of the other things Dark Phoenix did. If you want someone to blame, Look at Mastermind, Emma Frost, and the rest of the Hellfire Inner Circle.
The fact that Clairmont, Bryne and Shooter all put the blame squarely on Jean and the old "Power Corrupts" BS leaves me absolutely enraged, every time I read the story. I end up wanting to punch something.
And the Adaptations of the Dark Phoenix Saga in the live action movies are even worse. They both skip over what was done to Jean. They both put it on Prof. X, who, admittedly, is an absolute ass through all of Dark Phoenix.
But by removing what was done to Jean, they just turn the whole story into "woman can't handle power", which is it's own flavor of bullshit. And turning the D'Bari into the villains in X-Men: Dark Phoenix… WTF? Just WTF? God, the victim blaming…
