00:12La storia di X-Men è che sempre aveva una sensazione di dove ero con Dark Phoenix.
00:19Jean ha la più grande potere imaginabile, e come si va a fare con questo?
00:23E questo è quello che ho aprendo, credo, da Stan.
00:27E, you know, actions have consequences.
00:29They do.
00:33That was always in the back of our mind.
00:35We wanted to demonstrate what she could do, and she ended up saving the universe.
00:39We wanted her to be the heart and soul of the team.
00:42And we also wanted to put Scott in this place.
00:44Stop, stop, stop!
00:46His work is so character-oriented, and mine is so character-oriented.
00:50I think that's one of the reasons that we're very simpatico.
00:52The key was creating characters who were as relevant and real to the audience as I could make them.
00:58Put them in situations that everybody could identify with and recognize.
01:05When I started with Marvel, I was in school.
01:08My parents knew Al Jaffe, and he said,
01:11Oh, does he have any interest in comic books?
01:13And the next thing I know, the phone rings, and I pick it up and say,
01:16Hey there, true believer, this is Stan Lee.
01:18And I'm going, wow, so I hear you want to work for Marvel Comics.
01:22Yes.
01:24Stan had a mantra.
01:26There are three rules.
01:27Get your book in on time.
01:28Make sure it's good.
01:29Don't be a pain in my ass.
01:30Any two out of three, you've got to keep your job.
01:33In Dark Phoenix, Jean found herself wrapped up in a series of circumstances
01:38that she was unprepared for.
01:40She makes a moral choice.
01:42And for better or worse, that's the only way she can find
01:45to make amends for what she's done.
01:48Jean was his total favorite.
01:51I think partly because he had given her such a hard time
01:53through so many issues, and he'd seen how strong she could be.
02:01For me as a writer, I want them to fall in love with these characters.
02:06I want them to see them as real echoes or parallels with their own lives.
02:13Dark Phoenix is the ultimate expression of the darkest shadow in everyone's soul.
02:24And there you go.
02:27To be continued...
02:31To be continued...
02:34Grazie a tutti.
