@noone1996: 1) “Even that version of Jean Grey would still be more powerful than the FOX one.”
You will need to be more specific. I mentioned to versions of Jean in my reply. Phoenix posing as Jean and Revolution era’s Jean.
Either way, you’d be correct about the former, but not about the latter. Even still, Phoenix still has circuit-breakers in place to cut her powers before reaching cosmic proportions, so that still wouldn’t work in her favor in a fight against Fox Dark Phoenix who doesn’t have those same limits. Now Dark Phoenix and agreement Phoenix afterwards, yes, they’d wreck Fox Phoenix.
2) “Why not? What kind of telepathy has he resisted?”
Going by the First Class trilogy only, Emma Frost, Selene, and Apocalypse.
3) “Movie Xavier with cerebro might be planetary, but that doesn't mean he could, for example, telepathically do as well against Phoenix Cyclops as the 616 version did”
I don’t think so either, but neither can 616 Magneto or Xavier for that matter. They had to battle him and Emma as a team in order to keep him subdued, which even then didn’t even work. Not comparable at all to Phoenix Jean back in the 70’s, just after the M’Kraan Crystal incident, who had exhausted herself and wasn’t well-versed in using her cosmic abilities. The comparisons just don’t work.
4) “So then why even admit that the team could beat her”
Your argument is that they can solo against her. Not on whether they can take her as a team. And i did mention in my comment, not aimed at anyone in particular, that the team would need really good teamwork and even then, it’s a long shot against someone who can atomize you in the blink of an eye. My point was that Magneto and Xavier and Emma would need each other for the battle. No one is soloing her and they still have a long-shot of winning. We don’t know what her defenses are like, but if she can casually resist a Cerebro-amped Xavier who had put blocks on her memories and powers as a child and hen stomp him as she wakes up not fully realizing what’s going on entirely, it is less of likelihood that Xavier and Emma without Cerebro could penetrate her defenses without a viable distraction to throw off her focus, which was only done twice in the film. Once from Kurt porting her and once from a D’Bari impaling her just as she is finishing off some of his allies.
