Yiikes, what triggered the sudden outburst of negativity, lol?
We all knew Cyke was brought back as a publicity stunt, that he'd take the blame for everything, clean up other people's messes, be punished in the short term for his efforts and that his love life would be put on hold until Editorial figures out what the efff to do with Jeansus, right?
I think we're jumping the gun here (I really hope we are) and I'm also as big a jean fan as I am Scott(Emma Grew on me as well), but I feel a lot more, "safe" posting in here? I feel like being a fan of both (With a leaning more towards Scott) in this forum can usually end up making you choose sides which I don't want. It's always gonna be the cool thing to hate on Scott. even when he got his own edge, those people just laid in even more. It's just the nature of who the character is. Sometimes I feel like I should appreciate it, because to hate a character you actually have to feel something. it sucks but we are a very loyal fanbase so there's that.
Also I don't want to see Scott mopey and just turning into wallpaper Tyke. I also Don't think Jean or Scott need to automatically go back to one another, I think they are each other's end game but I don't think it needs to be now. I think a nice grown adult conversation of their relationship and trying to go back to being friends first (they were each other's best friends) and let it grow from there. Scott doesn't need to be the overall leader but he needs to at least run a unit like people are saying, when he was basilisk he was able to play the "wolverine" sorta, but that's def not him. If they make jean the overarching leader (the old Xavier role) with Scott and Ororo I presume as field leaders I would be perfectly fine with that. And it would work great, Jean as the spokeswomen for the X-men is where she should be anyway.
I had thought of a cool story about Scott and Jean eventually getting back together but it starts out with them hiding it from everyone; basically certain X-men would play the perspective of the fanbase with the two finally having enough of people speculating them together, they tell everyone they aren't. Which would lead to them secretly dating psychically,there'd be an emma joke in there at some point about it of course lol.

Anything worth reading? And no-- I'm not reading anything Bendis is writing no matter what anyone else says. But, ah, I haven't read any comics, Marvel or DC, recently after the whole Ric Grayson thing. I'm now just waiting for UXM to have several more issues before deciding whether it's trash to ignore or treasure to pick up because, ugh, "once bitten, twice shy" and all that regarding the X-Office.
Let your wallet talk.

Jean had more presence in death than Cyke in Hickman's entire run.
Hickman succeeded where 2010s Marvel didn't: make the X-Men villainous and irrelevant.
Hilariously, the X-Men have now fully embraced mutant supremacy and racism against humans.

So I can't find it, but Hickman allegedly said in an interview years ago that Cyke was his favorite X-Man.
Also this was interesting from 2015:
IGN: There's also Cyclops becoming the Phoenix, which is a pretty huge thing, even though it didn't work out too well for him in AvX when he became the Dark Phoenix and killed Professor X. But that he has a Phoenix egg and used its power in the first issue, that could be a whole event in itself, but it was just a beat in this story. What was your decision to have him use it in the X-Men's last-ditch effort?
Hickman: Well, there's a lot baked into it. Certainly the death of everything seems like a very predictable and important place for the Phoenix to show up, certainly when you're talking about Cyclops, who is -- it's more complicated than this, but if you distill it down to its essence, you're talking about a guy who, since Professor Xavier died, is absolutely obsessed with bringing about, I would argue, the homogenized vision of what Magneto and Charles Xavier, both sides of that coin, have always been.
So I think he's the perfect conduit. I think the Phoenix is a completely predictable and acceptable appearance, and there will be, obviously perhaps, more with that.

Good to know. But I think it doesn’t matter, since his love for the character doesn’t stand in the way of the plot. We all remember the broken neck.
