Hell yes!
Absolutely!
Even in a video game, Scott is forever taunted with the death of Jean Grey. Guy can't catch a break.
That being said, does anyone think that the X-men ever used Scott's inability to see other colors against him? Specifically the O5?
Also, did I miss much the past two weeks?

Many things on this run don't make sense and don't seem to be going anywhere
Scott losing and eye serves no purpose and will be cured at the end of this same story
Emma making everybody forget about her will stop mattering the moment they meet.

Yep. Why would Emma erase herself from Scott's memories? To take his ability to choose between herself and Jean away? I'm not asserting that is why, or even that it would be a good narrative justification, this is more just my imagination at work. A thought experiment, if you will. I still don't like that they had Emma do it at all.
Assuming it's actually Emma, the only plausible explanation is, since this is a pure nostalgia trip for Rosenberg, is that with memories of her and knowing she was alive, this run couldn't have happened the way it did; he wanted boyscout 90's Cyclops and do the thing that JDW and he seem to love and is to say Cyclops was wrong about everything and is to blame for everything bad, while they operate out of a bar with his pet Dark Beast rather than one of the many friendly scientists they have, or even pay to hire someone.
Simply put, with Emma alive and written in character, this would have happened:
1) Cyclops would go look for her, or she would go look for him;
2) They would put a X-men team together, using Emma and the HFC's resources, so no more hiding in bars or silly old costumes;
3) Everytime Alex or someone would whine about Scott, Emma would bitchslap him and remind that Scott left the X-men in a very good position, they were the ones that messed up, and without him, mutantkind would be long gone;
4) If Scott tried to tackle the council as something new, Emma would remember they've been doing this for years;
5) If Scott would complain about killing too much, Emma would remember why did they stop with that;
6) The X-men would be in a good position, and Scott & Emma would be fine and possibly get together again, if they weren't already by the time he died (there's nothing in Death of X that indicates for sure that they weren't, and it's not like Marvel isn't ignoring everything else in his run).
Basically, his choices were making a run that respects the characters histories and spurns naturally out of it, or ignore everything and write them out of character to make his nostalgia trip for the 80's and 90's, and he chose the latter.
Is anyone else getting a Countdown vibe from this whole Disassembled/AOXM/RosenCanny mess? This has been bugging me for a few days now. I know they don't match up completely and all that, but the feeling of everything happening so randomly and eventually going nowhere/being completely pointless is so hard to ignore.
