Have to agree. The last three a-lister Marvel brought back were clearly announced well ahead of time. This is a head fake I think, if not outright trolling by Marvel and co.
Given JDW's opinion that Scott "went about things all wrong", I'm concerned that if he does come back, we'll see him eating a lot of crow. I hope not but I suspect that will be the case which is unfortunate since Marvel's been writing Scott hit pieces for years already.
I dont think so as X-men and Marvel have moved past AvX and its aftermath. Nothing from that era is really felt today and the removal of the O5 is the last remnants of that. I dont see Scott returning and them dwelling on any of that for too long. Theres been at least 2 major status quo changes since then and we're about to get a third. I dont think its a good idea to revisit that in any great detail as it doesnt fit with the current narrative of the X-line and its direction
If they do this then to be honest even if he is back I will not pick up any of the x book. Dc got me with 8 books and I got my eyes on 3 more that I want to read.
The why DC out sells Marvel is clear, unless you are a avenger or wolverine in marvel is okay to destroy you. I am tired of my fav hero getting dump on just for a silly story.
I don't think Ruby is ever going to exist in the main timeline. If one thing is even more complicared than relationships it's children. that's why marvel ignores cable and rachel connection with scott and jean most of the time.
Well there is always Sinister, let him ship Emma and Cyclops from now on lol
Just for Ruby
When Scott comes back, I kind of hope he's closer in characterization to 80's/90s clops than Rightclops. I think Rightclops was absolutely necessary for mutant survival back then, but now I think he should be able to take it easy and smile for once. The X-Men are United, Jean is alive and hopefully when he gets back his friends embrace him.
the time when scott was supposed to marry, have kids, etc, ended with maddie. Marvel tried to give that path a second chance, they tried with jean and they still screwed thing up. I bet they regret Rachel and Cable but that connections already exist. iI don't think they want to complicate things for themselves more.
Imagine if marvel gives you Ruby. What purpose would she have other than giving scemma fans a kid? and that is supposing they still want to push scemma.
look at rachel/jean/scott they don't act much as a family and if jean and scott never get back together any posible family dynamic it's lost forever. why even make family relationships that can't happen?
Cable was an exception thanks to time trivel but i doubt marvel will play that card again.
marrying scott and giving kids again would be a mistake.
