It seems as if Dark Phoenix can't do anything right. After the newest trailer aired, the internet was abuzz with commentary about it. Unsurprisingly, it's mostly negative.

Now, it's entirely possible that the film could end up being a dud. After all, it is Simon Kinberg's first attempt at directing and many people have complained about the similarities to it and X-Men: The Last Stand, which Kinberg wrote. Plus, it also doesn't help that it's been consistently delayed for reshoots, which is a word that traumatizes all comic book movies fans after Justice League.

The thing is, all this hatred for Dark Phoenix started because of the scooper culture. A few individuals took to social media to claim people at test screenings said that the film is as bad as 2015's Fantastic Four. While it could be true, it's laughable how opinions of an unreleased production are being based on secondhand, or even thirdhand, information. Lest we forget, Wonder Woman was reportedly also a mess according to "trusted" strangers on the internet.

Look, the broken telephone effect is real and about 50 percent of all scoops end up being bull at the end of the day. Instead of lambasting Dark Phoenix for its perceived lack of quality and believing every Reddit theory, it's advisable to rather wait and see what the film is actually like before making blanket statements about it. By all means, criticize the trailer and marketing material for being uninteresting, but understand it may not accurately reflect the final product.

Even comic book creator Rob Liefeld chimed in on Twitter, responding to a fan about the unfairness of Fox receiving guff for something that the Marvel Cinematic Universe did as well, and he's right. The MCU has accumulated the goodwill of the audience over the years, but it's true that fans ignore the same things they complain about in other cinematic universes. For example, people complaining about Captain Marvel naysayers, who then partake in the exact same behavior with Dark Phoenix.

While it's perfectly acceptable to be a Marvel Studios stan and look forward to the X-Men joining the MCU, it's disrespectful to disregard Fox's overall influence and impact in setting up the golden age of comic book movies. If it wasn't for X-Men's continued success on the big screen, it's unlikely that the MCU would exist today.

Like it or not, this genre wouldn't be around if Fox had missed the mark. At that point in time, anticipation for superhero movies was at an all-time low after Batman & Robin nearly destroyed the genre in 1997. Producing X-Men was a gigantic risk, but the studio gambled and it paid off in a massive way.

Dark Phoenix will likely be Fox's final X-Men movie (depending on if The New Mutants is ever released) due to the Disney-Fox merger. It'll also mark the end of almost two decades' worth of interconnected superhero movies from the studio, which is a historic feat. Rather than cheer for its downfall, it's the ideal time to hope for the best and pray that the film is a worthy sendoff to Xavier's mutants.

In fact, the trailers have shown us some things to get excited about. For one, the X-Men wear a more traditional getup reminiscent of Frank Quitely's costume design. Also, it fixes X-Men: The Last Stand's problem of killing off Cyclops and Xavier. Finally, would anyone really be upset if the overexposed Mystique is the X-Man to bite the bullet in this movie?

Right now, Fox is putting the last touches on Dark Phoenix. Everyone knows that a movie is made in the edit, so no one can really say what the final product will be except for the people working on it. Knowing Kinberg, he won't want his legacy with the franchise to end on a sour note. Have a little faith, because the best and worst case scenario is that there's a reboot around the corner.
