But maybe is a good thing his run ended when it did, considering his plans not only for Scott but also for Emma. Bendis get a lot of criticism about his X-Men run, and I agre with some of it, but at the end of the day he also put a lot of work in showing us Cyclops side of things, and we should remember that at the time, he was the only one "siding" with Cyclops, the other x-books and Avengers book all painted him as the villain.
And while people consider the Bendis run part of Scott's "villain" era, they should remember that he was returning to form. His calls of revolution were revealed to be a bluff, he kept the teen O5 from killing, and the comic ended with a peace rally. In fact, that ending is a large part of why "Mutant Hitler" fell so flat. Too many people had this idea of who Cyclops was formed entirely (or so it seemed) from message boards devoted to hating him, and not from reading what was happening at the time.
