Seriously though, what did he mean by this?

He said that while looking at Jean Grey as Phoenix so I'm guessing it's some comic thing where Jean Grey has some kind of significance to him. Maybe she's the most powerful mutant ever according to prophecy or something.

He had a special plan for this world

How does Apocalypse know about the Phoenix Force?

>>83408160
Because it's always passing over earth looking for some new redhead to possess. He's seen it before.

That he's not needed after all. His vision of the strongest laying waste to the meek and ruling in their stead will come to pass without him.

>>83407373
He recognised the Phoenix and realised he wasnt "the strongest the cleanse the world" but she was.

This bit was actually cool.

The chance that we might actually get Singer's original pitch for Phoenix is worth a billion bland movies like this one

Singer is leaving the X-Men franchise.

It's the literal translation of the word apocalypse.
