The Rectangle: Jean/Scott/Emma/Logan Discussion

[Silver Fang]

I'm on the opinion that hating on fictional characters is a lost of time and energy, there are more constructive ways to spend your time and if you still aren't able to enjoy certain characters, just avoid then like the plague. Does wonder for one mental health.

Sadly it's hard if that character is shoved in your face every time you turn around.

Non-Marvel example, I HATE Spike in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. They made him a regular in season 4, and I couldn't enjoy the show in seasons 5-7 when it became the Spike & Buffy program. I was a fan of the early seasons, and it's too bad there's a whole second half of the show I had to stop watching due to Spike and the clear bias writers had with him. Then even if you go to another show entire, aka Angel, they did the same thing. Shoehorned Spike into the last season there, and had him showing up Angel on his own show. Then there's the Spuffy comics. lol The latter half of the series if great if you like Spike & Spuffy. But if you hate both, you're out of luck. Because the show is no longer for you.

Then for me, Sabretooth is one of my favorites. But I HATE Wolverine & Mystique. Namely because they keep popping up everywhere & getting tons of biased fanboy writing. And Creed is the sacrificial lamb to both. It's hard to enjoy him in anything when he keeps getting thrown in with these 2, and made a fool of by both. I pushed through Weapon X because it was the only thing he was in. So I read & hoped to get some kind of decent story now & again. But Mary Sue Logan didn't lessen my Logan DNA hatred. Then when the writing finally got better, and Mary Sue left, Pak threw Mystique right in with very little time to breathe in-between.

Sadly, when your disliked character includes fan-favorites / pets that get tons of preferential treatment, you're out of luck with tons of stuff you wouldn't be able to read because they get put everywhere. But in order to see your favorites or other liked characters, the hated ones come tied to them & the hate continues to grow. lol

They shared one kiss right before Scott went to Alaska and nothing until they saw Maddie die on tv in Dallas. There wasnt any "always making out" in the arly issues of X-Factor. They got into a relationship around X-Factor 25

Yea that one kiss they shared is cheating and homewrecking. Scott and Jean played Madelyne and took her maternity rights from her.

Was Scott officially divorced or a widower X-Factor #25?

[Peanutsinspace]

She cast a spell on him, why do you think Cyclops married Jeans look alike? That kind of behaviour is unexplanatory, no one in their right mind would marry their dead girlfriends look alike which led me to believe that Jean cast a spell on Cyclops that stopped him from moving on. Thank God for Emma the telepath she undid it.

Ooooh okay, I get it now. Headcanon. You have nothing to show to actually back up your claim other than a "belief" of what you (wrongly) think happened. Gotcha.

Scott and Maddie never divorced bc she died. Scott became a widower three times with her and it was final after Inferno

What? The kiss wasn't some sexy, make-out session. They were saying goodbye as Scott intended to go back to Maddie and his son. As for "maternity rights" I think Maddie pretty much lost that claim when she tried to sacrifice her child to a demon.

Kinda poetic with the way the whole Emma/Scott/Jean thing went down, when you think about it.

Notable symmetry.

I think there's some poetic justice with the Jean gaining teen's memories bc she saw Scott and Emma together and him wanting nothing to do with her romantically. She got to live with them and see Emma miserable loving and wanting him from the sidelines while he rejected and was no longer into her

readheafs dying and Scott just move on

Well yes that, of course, but I was really referring to the (intentional?) poetic irony of Jean conveniently dying so someone could take her place as the "the insert character's girlfriend" just like what happened to Maddie.

Yes, Scott is obviously a self insert character. He just always seems to be right and loved by everyone.

well that's just the way women are often written in comics, hopefully the future will be brighter now that society seems to be getting more aware of the issue

[MosSuperman]

I think he/she secretly likes Scott which is why he constantly brings that up.

I love Waiting for the Trade.

Yes, twice for Jean. 3 Times a redhead dies so Cyclops can have some mainpain and move on with another woman.
If you are a redhead avoid Scott
JK
if you are a woman avoid Scott at all costs

Yes, Scott is obviously a self insert character. He just always seems to be right and loved by everyone.

Me and Redd talked a lot baout Scott being a self-insert character. Sure no one wanted to believe on that.
I think it became obvious on Morrison run and following runs
