I’m not seeing enough hate for Kitty Pryde during all this, for my liking! She treated him like crap a lot, too. :p

[QUOTE=Maestroneto;4451656]Matthew Malloy arc was definitely one of the most terrible things written... but we also know that had a lot to do with editorial forcing Bendis to leave with #600 and him having to turn a 5 issue arc into a 10 issue arc as a result of that and then undoing the whole thing. Not sure what this run's excuse is.[/QUOTE]
There are definitely comparisons to be made between Bendis's Malloy story and Rosenberg's current Uncanny. I'm willing to bet history will be about as kind to this run as it is to Bendis's.

Bendis' Scott was pretty good for its time and absolutely off the charts compared to Rosenberg's version.
The worst part is that Rosenberg kind of writes Scott as someone who only sees his peers as soldiers, which is consistent only with, you guessed, Aaron's take. The "underdog" thing doesn't even work because Scott is just bashed from all sides, by Logan, by Alex, by Hope and now Dani and there's no nuance to the way he's written, he doesn't show any range of emotions, he's just taking it and letting it slide. And we're talking about a character who tried to kill himself fighting just 11 issues ago, but we're supposed to support whoever got to talk shit about him in the current issue LMAO

She wasn't Jason Aaron's personal mouth piece to express how EVIL and HORRIBLE and EVVVVVILLLLL Scott was. Those would be Bobby, Hank, and Ororo.
When your argument is "Scott Summers has not suffered as much as the others" then, uh ...
Who can be more fucked in that world? Matt Murdock, maybe?

Because she joined his side.
*Jean pops up and learns what happened with Scott and mutants*
Goddamn it Emma!

"Guy who can't stop self-loathing" is Bendis' specialty.

Which means Rosey took the worst aspects of Jason Aaron's run (all of it), and combined it with the worst aspects of Bendis's run. Charming.

His Daredevil is pretty much 50 issues of that.
[QUOTE=Snoop Dogg;4451626]No, she's saying that he should check his privilege because he hasn't lost as much/has more than her and others, so he should stop bumming around on a bench, in his underwear, feeding birds when he could be living that life, which is almost valid, except for
A. She's kinda vague about it and seems more interested in guilting him than helping him because she's pissed, which might be unintentional on the R's part
B. Emma might still have that awful haircut, so why would he go back to her
C. Havok agrees with her, the death knell of any argument
D. Scott's one true love, Hank, has been lost to the Nate hole
I like those first two pages, though.[/QUOTE]
Scott actually lost a son, a daughter (if you count Rachel) and every friend he had, plus his life (literally). But that's Rosenberg/JDW's X-men for ya: Scott HAS to be wrong for... reasons, but we'll never be specific because we know fans will refute any argument we present using logic and common sense.
Worth noticing that the last shred of hope I had for Rosenberg is gone with this because I didn't think they'd make Emma's plan the endgame. I thought they just wanted to erase the Earth's memory of mutants to catch a breath and THEN put the real plan in motion. I'm a fool.
Gotta say, though, that I agree with Snoop about the first two pages. Before it looks like mindless bashing from me.

He loves Hank's feet more than those guys. It's all explained in a story yet to be told.
[QUOTE=PsychoEFrost;4451650]This current period definitely makes it look a lot better by comparison.[/QUOTE]
If we miss Bendis' failed mutant revolution and Xavier's will then the current situation is really bad.
I hope House of X turns the table.

But Bendis' Cyclops is one of the best aspects of his run.
