A very interesting concept which i presume you know nothing about. Google it and educate yourself on the concept before calling it ridiculous.
How about we go by the Nataku theory that says "All marvel writers that handle X-men comics get off on mutant powers, and are required by marvel to keep themselves hopped up on a steady supply of viagra at all times to keep their 'fine' writing skills at their 'peak'."
Maybe keeping the Phoenix as a very powerful multiuniversal entity, while still having limits (As all things, except, as I believe, the cause of creation) would've kept the whole thing more interesting. You can be the ultimate mutation until the end of time, but things have to have a limit, seriously, you and I both know that if X-men comics weren't holding up 10% (at least, considering marvel is ~34%) of the comic industry, Marvel wouldn't have made one of them the 'ultimate being in the multiverse'.
Why don't you stop throwing around fancy names, fancy words, fancy ideas, and stop whineing so much when people have an opinion that opposes yours. Maybe if Marvel actually listened to people who read comics besides X-related comics, these things wouldn't happen. Then again, that would end up costing them money, and we all know money drives comics, because comics like the recent Namor and SS got canceled due to lack of sales, rather than lack of story. Isn't that right GS?
