but with the appearance of Kitty now, A couple of years from now, Gambit is hired by Magneto... thus bringing him into the story. But I dunno how Phoenix is involved already.

Everything gets sped up in movie time. You have to remember that X-Men has been building a mythos for nearly 40 years. No filmmaker or studio could be expected to catch up to that. So with that said, The Dark Pheonix Saga was one of the greatest storylines in comic history, and it would be silly for Fox not to address it, especially with the series reaching its third movie and how sequels tend to peter-out arond then.

I mean, you could also bitch about how Jean Grey was really killed on the blue area of the moon, but that brings up a whole crapload of other marvel mythos that the writers and director would have to address,

Dark pheonix is enough. We don't need to go into the Inhumans, Uatu the Watcher, the Starjammers and the Shi'ar. That would take another three movies at least.

Much like with LOtR, I simply remind myself that I'm watching a movie, and not a book on film. If you expect changes, you tend to be more forgiving of them and even appreciate them when they are well done and preserve the themes of the original work.
