Did anyone else notice the phoenix at the end of X2

yup! yup! the phoenix bird flying in the lake. that was cool.

Yeah, the Phoenix ending was cool.

Yup..and there are other Phoenix foreshadowing in the movie other than the one under the lake.

And you can see their evolution.

1st pic : Phoenix bird silhouette.
2nd pic : Half Phoenix half human silhouette. (Either it's hard to notice or I'm imagining things. LOL)
3rd pic : Human Phoenix silhouette.

In other words...

Voila!!! Jean Grey the Phoenix in X3!!!! mwahahahaha!!!

And of course, let's not forget her "fiery eyes"

that was pretty awesome Jeans an awesome character without the Phoenix deal but this will make her even cooler.

Good job shadowy_blue!
I only noticed the last one when I first saw the movie.

Er, I don't remember that first pic from the movie, shadowy_blue, what scene is it from?

Its easy to see her evolution tru out the movie.

I wonder how they will explain the phoenix's origin in the movie because they have obviously changed it from the comic.

I think they are going to make it a natural evolution.
Or maybe link it to that machine Magneto used in the 1st movie cos after wolvie destroys it she acts a bit weird. like she felt something and at the beginning of x2 Scott tells jean she has been having problems with her power since liberty island.

Hmm you got a point there Kes.
When that machine was started by Rogue the white "flood" covered them all up. That could have evolved Jean into the Phoenix

I still think the comic solution is better.

but too long for 1 movie

Um... i think it was when cyclops was in that energy room and jean looks for him and scott sees her but not clearly and he shoots his blast thing and jean stops it.

He sees and recognizes her... but he's being manipulated by Stryker.... so he attacks her

To conclude, let's just say it went like this:

Jean: aaahh!!
Scott: Jean!! No! No! No!..it's alright, it's me..
Jean: Scott ?!
Scott: I'm so sorry...I can see you but I can't stop myself..I've tried, I'm sorry
Jean: Oh...I love you so much..
Scott: I love you...
Jean: Ahh...my leg
Jean and Scott: .............(silence for a while)
Jean: Scott....
Scott: .....??
Jean: Something's wrong....

In the text that I've bolded and italicized, it was clear that Scott saw Jean, and from what he said, "I can't stop myself, I've tried...I'm sorry", it just means that he recognized her. So all in all, all of you are correct.

Clear enough !?!

Cool

Its just an option. Maybe it only affected her for some reason
I just think its weird that she starts acting eird right after the machine is destoied and in the beginning of X2 Scott says she has been like that since Liberty island.

yes its how thay are gonna link the second to the third and to the cartoons because she was talking bout evolution is jean evoling to the phonix

blue: you are so lucky to find and have such great sources to get these amazing pix from x2! where did you get them?

Can somebody tell me which is the original Phoenix story???? The one i know is the one from animated series

that's the only one i know of too.

LOL..like I've said I have the movie in my computer...

You can see all the complete X-MEN character bios here. I think they are from the Marvel encyclopedia ?? But it's all complete. Even the mutants that are not too popular.

thanx shadowy

No problem.

i thought the official marvel site got rid of those bios.

I'm not sure if it's from the MARVEL site. Maybe from the MARVEL encyclopedia. ???..He/she just copied it. (lots of hard work)

must be. those bios are old the last time i checked.
