I've pretty much already done that, Man. I'll keep up by reading summaries and/or scans or here and other forums. However, I haven't supported any of the X-books after IvX concluded.
I'm just tired of seeing Marvel continue to crap on adult Cyke constantly. At this point, it's beyond overkill.
I won't support the X-books financially until they bring back adult Cyclops for good.
I don't want to believe that those kinds of social overtones will be a factor in Cyclops' future with the X-men, but I wouldn't be surprised. Marvel has been going to great lengths to discredit certain characters that are lacking in diverse traits. Just look at what they did to Captain America. Unfortunately, Cyclops checks one too many boxes and that may impact his role in the X-men comics moving forward.

I don't like the O5 being in the present, their presence is both absurd and unnatural, that's literally how it's been depicted in-universe.
But Summers was lost to me in the end, a far cry from who he used to be, so I'm totally fine with Young Scott taking over eventually on a permanent basis.
I'm happy for you if you enjoyed the path the writers took Summers on in recent years, personally I wasn't and it's a relief to see him gone for the time being. To each its own I guess.
"The means are as important as the end - we have to do this right or not at all.
Anything less negates every belief we've ever had, every sacrifice we've ever made."
"Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely."
"No justice, no peace."
In the end though, this sort of attitude ended up ruining all the characters involved. Emma may have become a staple of the X-Men after Morrison but her character was really turned into a caricature and pretty much stopped being interesting, and the writers went so far out of their way to make Scott look macho and badass that they painted themselves into a corner they couldn't write their way out of, which is why the ending of AvX turned out so clunky. This is ultimately what happens when you try to write self-serving fanfiction rather than accessible stories that would be entertaining to readers not in the know about online fan debates.
But we don't know their stories. We do know Scott and Steve's though.
There are some parallels between a hero replaced by an evil version of himself, and a hero possessed by a cosmic entity with impulse control issues. Despite these parallels how they were handled afterward is a lot different. It seemed like Cap got a pass. Scott definitely did not. That's what I have a problem with. And Marvel's still at it, taking any opportunity to trash Cyke they can find, nearly a year after they killed him off.
I think you guys are overthinking this.
They'll leave Scott dead for at least a few more years so they can play with Jean being single. And, until they can come up with a credible, event-worthy way to rehabilitate him as a heroic character.
In the meantime, the current status quo of the X-Men continues to give me flashbacks to the Giffen-Bierbaum, "Five Years Later" era of Legion of Super-Heroes.
None of them is:
Captain Fascist America
Carol Fascist Danvers
Tony Fascist Stark
Genocidal Scarlet Witch
Beast, the Planetary Genocidal
Black Bolt and Medusa, the genocidal couple.
Well, on the other hand, Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 27 years by the South Africa apartheid government. Then, surely he was a dangerous terrorist, right? So...

oh, the Cyclops haters... ***SIGH***... Well, there's no denying that it's fun to watch them trying to wreck Cyke and Emma's importance to the X-titles. Well, folks, that's impossible... and at the end of the day, Cyclops will still be right and Emma will still be the wonderful White Queen. And don't forget, my friends, Cyclops is the best MU leader, so just get over it.
Last I checked the "White supremacist Afrikaner National Party", had Nelson Mandel arrested for conspiring to overthrow the state and sentenced him to life in prison... Ironically, he was proven right when he was released and elected president of South Africa.
