Ok, put another way... Jean shuffled off the mortal coil with the love of friends and teammates. Scott dies and only "crazy" Emma is left to mourn him. Marvel made sure that nearly everyone who should have supported Scott, had a reason to doubt him or abandon him. He may have been right CC, but it doesn't mean what he did was right. Scott did what ever the hell he wanted, and yes he did it for mutants and he did it because he saw things no other x-man was willing to face. Unfortunately because of the way he did it, and the reactions of those around him, he ended up having to fight essentially alone and as a renegade. What a damn travesty.
It fits he's character to say screw it all and just what's needs to be done even if it means never to be loved again scott always know what was at stake
Maybe that will be his legacy now. If so, it's not so bad to go out a divisive figure, that died for mutants. I doubt at least, that the conversations will ever die down so the characters functionally immortal.
A lot of the stories left for Scott could be told through Emma I think. Lord knows she needs a chance for redemption and acceptance even more than Cyke did. The X-Men also need someone who will look out for their security when they become a little too idealistic. I also thought that was the role Scott played. If Emma can get any respect back, maybe she could fill that role. Emma and Jean could represent a balance between Charles idealism and Erik's willingness to act. Who knows?

Yes, in the end that was true wasn't it. Once upon a time it was less true but with Charles and Jean gone, and mutants on the edge, it became the only way. Thinking back, Scott never really cared about being popular. He just wanted to make sure everyone was reading for what was to come. I actually don't think a lot of other x-men really loved him, a few did I suspect, but everyone respected him. I guess it's been tough to read all the hate these last 5 or so years as that respect was washed away.
It was the only way for him now he deserves a little rest for a while his salvation now is to sleep and have sweet dreams
You know it's bad for a character when death is preferable to living. The problem is Marvel just won't give up. Even well after his death their still going after him, mostly through Tyke. That's why I really want him gone, so one of the most convenient mouthpieces and recipients of Cyke hate will be unavailable to the x-office. Of course he's the only incarnation of Scott around so I'll probably be sad when the loser gets shuffled off.
I suppose that's why we are Cyke fans for sure. Paper mirrors and all that. Wow, never really thought I'd be signing up for the sadomasochism club. It's free and there's donuts though so, see you at the next meeting.
I actually like tyke it's refreshing to have a version of Scott that is still unaffected by the cruel things his adult counterpart had to suffer plus it will be interesting to see where his character will be evolved to in the next couple of years
That was always the promise of the character. Unfortunately they've build his entire development on not being Cyke. The only thing Scott was ever good at was being Cyke so this effectively makes him the Avater of Suck, and a very different character from the original to boot. I guess down the road the direction could change though. Hope springs eternal.
They are examples, those that my memory remembered at that moment, real sex, dreams with another woman, fantasies.
I want to understand from you, Spirit2011, why you do not have the same rejection by Logan, Colossus, Namor, Sue Storm or other characters who have had sentimental errors.
I do not understand yet, does infidelity bother you? or does Cyclops infidelity bother you?
