University of Phoenix (Joke) Ad
The University of Phoenix, the online school, has ads where one purportedly successful person talks about their career, and then they say: "And I'm a phoenix!" So this made me think it would be fun to have a joke on this ad campaign, where Jean Grey from the X-Men talks about all her great work with the X-Men, showing some brief scenes from the movie series, and then she says: "And I'm a Phoenix!" And then she transforms into the character "Phoenix", glowing with the intensity of great cosmic powers and levitating up into the air, whereupon she summons a wreath of threatening dark clouds, becomes "Dark Phoenix", and absorbs the power of the sun, destroying the Earth in the process.
