No I said it looks more like Apocalypse than it does Mystique, I think the fact that how the world is being destroyed if you change the filter resembles how Magneto is destroying things later in the movie, coupled with her vision of Apocalypse in the vision, that her fears the entire movie is how her powers could be dangerous and then to save the day she has to unleash said powers, and she does the thing she is afraid off as in hurt/kill someone but it turns out to be the big bad that the scene isn't foreshadowing another movie but the ending of that movie itself.
You know considering apparently Jean already has killed someone in that timeline, that Xavier doesn't register her fear with knowing concern but more sympathy and desire to ease her mind, I highly doubt that scene was foreshadowing anything, you are simply reaching for any excuse to give this film to make it not seem like such a flop/disaster on Kinbergs part.

This is like saying post-credit scene wasn’t teasing at X-23.
Also, it looks nothing like Magneto’s destruction because isn’t flying in the sky. Its filtered that why to show the Earth being engulfed in fire.
To me it comes across more like it was foreshadowing the Phoenix which we see later in the film, and peoples thinking from what I recall simply was well they have started on the Phoenix path so the next movie will deal with that right? just like in X2 ends with Jean saving everyone and the Phoenix being seen in Alkali Lake, that Jean feared the darkness or whatever is ambiguous enough.
Which BTW pick a bloody side already, this is what I am getting at you are so desperately trying to add some merit to this movie and Kinberg, either this movie wasn't actually meant to be or is a Dark Phoenix movie or it was and is, any complaint anyone has to this film, Kinberg or the lameness of them doing a do over you try countering it by saying oh no it wasn't that it was Fox making them do this, this was meant to be a smaller movie not a blockbuster...despite the original $170m budget oh and having to cut multiple major scenes of a blockbuster nature because one looked too much like a major scene from Civil War, a $1+ B grossing movie, another looked too much like the climax of Captain Marvel another $1B+ grossing movie, that this wasn't meant to be a Dark Phoenix they didn't even originally call it that it was called Supernova...despite Kinberg himself stating that was just the codename they used in the scripting phase and it was always going to be a Dark Phoenix story, the various the Phoenix is part of Jean, it isn't part of Jean, now the darkness is part of her no it wasn't it was the "solar flare" flip flopping, oh they foreshadows this with this scene which actually does more to foreshadow the climax of that movie and shows that they hadn't thought this plot through at that point or how because they repeat something from the opening from another movie somehow makes it more thought out and clever or something...?
Only consistent thing is you making excuses for this film fucking up a bunch of shit and Kinberg being a dozy bastard, if you like the film that's fantastic find joy in whatever you can, but don't keep making excuses for the bloody thing, there are loads of films I love despite themselves for one reason or another, one thing I say unlike you is I phrase what I like about them as my taste, you keep phrasing everything as fact, when no it's opinion, and many of your "facts" aren't even opinion but bs like the this film not being intended to be a blockbuster, not meaning to be a Dark Phoenix story and so on, and the fact you flip flop the arguments depending on the criticism shows you are just trying to make excuses for it imo.
