I agree with you, even though quoting "The Last Stand" isn't exactly the right way to prove a point, as the movie clearly destroys every single thing that the comic books created around The Phoenix. But yes, they might have based her lore on that scene. It's a basic truth that power corrupts, and many fiction worlds have at least one or two characters in it's history that abused power (Gul'dan from Warcraft, Karsus from Forgotten Realms).

The only point that kinda messes up the idea is that Syndra has choosen to "go berserk", whilst Jean is an incarnation of the Phoenix, and, therefore, got underpowered and controlled by it.
