My point is that flawed characters get the opportunity to grow, fail, make mistakes, learn, progress, hit rock bottom and it feels authentic, cyclops beneffited from that, and I don't think storm or jean would ever get the same treatment that scott got post avx because it'd be problematic. . . It means their stories got no real risk because they've got no stake or consequences for them, thus they fell unauthentic, I think kitty suffered from the same
