>It's not really a proper story.
It is a proper story, it is just contextually a comic book story of the time. What is not proper about it?

> It was a weird cascade of separate events that escalated with Jean killing a planet and then dying
It isn't seperate events, it is a plot and side plot from a bunch of issues. They made Phoenix and rebranded Jean Grey/Marvel Girl as Phoenix and overtime built a storyline where she would be corrupted. It happened longer than a week. It bought in the Shi'ar from earlier arcs, Hellfire club etc.
