Of course Jean was chosen. She was born with Phoenix potential. If you read Classic Xmen you will see that Phoenix appeared to Jean way back when she was a child. The whole space shuttle incident was destined. Jean is the Phoenix of the White Crown thats why TOAA waited for that particular oppurtunity. Jean had to die to be reborn as the Phoenix. That is the way of the Phoenix. It represents among many things rebirth. She had to leave behind her previous form of existence just to be reborn where she was needed. Back in the 616 reality to heal the M'kraan crystal.Quentin Quire(Kid Omega) at the end of New Xmen was also found out to be one with phoenix potential. All phoenixes leave their former existences to be reborn as a phoenix. During the Riot story arc he evolved. We knew that his thought evolved into faster than light mental energy and that he entered higher planes and rooms. He went to the White Hot Room. The place outside of existence beyond the towers death made to house the spirits of everything, including the likes of Galactus. Here they reform just before their rebirth. This mirrors Jeans first transition into the phoenix , when she to became a being of pure mental energy before reforming in Jamaica bay.
In Morrison's version the Phoenix is its avatars and a higher consciousness. The avatars have genetic mutations for being Phoenixes and have enormous psychic potential. The Phoenix Consciousness seems to be a collective consciousness of the avatars from the White Hot Room. This "they" seems to have a mental connection to them from the White Hot Room. It also seems to be able to regulate what they are allowed to do and how they will resurrect.
Jean and Quentin talk of "they" yet the only they we see are them and their fellow Phoenixes. They speak in their own Phoenix Voice yet there is a main voice that doens't come from any specific being that talks like a computer or collective with // marks.
Just because she is one with an aspect of TOAA doesnt make her infallible. She is still human after all. In the blink of an eye she went from being your average mutant telepath/telekinetic to being second only to the creator in terms of power. So its understandable that she lost her way.
However Jean destroying D'Bari was all part of the Phoenixes work. Jean mentions the cosmic side of the coin in New Xmen. It burns through things that don't work, it eats stars and planets, it talks to her, and if she gets too close it replaces her.
-But these replacements are not literal. She is replaced in that she is consumed by the Phoenix Consciousness. Jean was 'replaced' by the Phoenix twice in New but was also the same character- before, during, and after being consumed. Just like Classic 8 backstory shows- the whole 'Phoenix replaced Jean' story was not literal. This is what happens naturally when she gets too close to the power.
Jeans Dark Phoenix transition was her mind at conflict with the Phoenix consciousness. She was new to the way of the Phoenix she didnt understand.
So dont discredit the writers because of your lack of understanding Xplosive. Theres often a lot more to comic books than pretty pictures. Theres hidden depth which you obviously bypass when you do read them.
HAHAHAHA, lack of understnding (you want know what are deep stroiy, AoA, that is deeper story, not some Phoenix an her battle with Phoenix consciousness,), you lack understanding, she didn't understand what she was deling with and TOAA would allow to destroy everything there is, yeah good job writers. Marvel writers can be the most digusting writers ever, you just can't get, do you, and than they make soem new thing up. Beucse of he battle or conflict with Phoenix consciousness, she wanted to destroy everything thtere is, yeah deep storyline, get real.
No wonder Mathew Vaugh says there are disgutnig and really bad things in DP Saga, thank for opening my mind, now I really get why he meant it. Just because she is one with an aspect of TOAA doesnt make her infallible (TOAA would just allow everyhtin to be gone, just because of her conflict). What are Marvel writers thinkng. Disgustnig and cheapest thing ever.
