Scott Summers: Cyclops Appreciation 2019

[Glio]

Still can't believe you're comparing the Bendis era to the freak show we've been getting ever since. I mean, current x-editorial is going out of its way to pretend the Bendis years never happened and that we're still dealing with Eeeeviiiil 2011!Clops.



Needs moar ground tanking/mele power. May I suggest Warpath?

Rockslide could be cool too.

My fanfiction-ass wants more non-mutants in Scott’s team. But I really want people that appreciate Scott on his team.

I agree, given that I'd add:

Emma
Archangel
Warpath
Magik
Cuckoos (yes, it's cheating, since there are three of them)

Besides being cool characters in their own right, none of them jumped in the Scott is evil bandwagon (not even Teen Warren).

What can I say? BMB era was the one that made me quit the monthly subscription. Been lurking here ever since.

Actually considered Warpath, but decided Emma or Rachel can fill the tank role, too.

Oh, I know. It's just that basically everyone else jumped on the "Huh, Bendis' run was bad, but I guess it wasn't THAT bad' bandwagon.

Fair enough. Truth be told, my reasoning didn't go much farther than "he can tank full-time and he wasn't carrying on like a whiny b-word during the HitlerClops" era.

Bah. It's all recently bias mixed with relativity: soon as new trash come along, old trash suddenly smells fragrant!

"Cyclops has regrets..."

...*headsdesk* YOU DON'T SAY! XDDDDD

[Glio]

Of course Scott has regrets. Being able to return with the Champions he chose to reunite with ungrateful mutants.

I would also regret

So....Scott, Emma, and a bunch of new creations?

Bendis wasn't bad until his eternal will and testament of Chucky arc happened.

[Doctor_Foxey]

Totally agree. And darn it another figure I want lol.

[KangMiRae]

The graph could play out differently, but going by this one, I’d say Prof. X and Magneto get the big two spots, and Xavier’s team is Scott, Jean, Wolverine, Angel, and Monet.

In all fairness, he probably regrets not shutting down that dumbass committee idea.

I mean, if Scott was written like a regular human being, he would've gone "What the hell, Dani? YOU came up with the x-committee idea! You've been voting against me on most (if not all?) issues so far! And now you're asking me what to do next? Are you kidding me?"

Where's this graph everyone's talking about?

The only mistake BMB made is, to make a real-world analogy, act like a Democrat. He wrote to respect the writings of Jason Aaron as colleagues. Writers (like Congress) need to have a mutual respect if they are writing runs that constantly contact each other. But Aaron acted like a Republican. He wanted HIS way to appeal to HIS base and that meant raising up Wolverine and trashing Scott every chance he got and not making any effort to work with what Bendis wrote.
