I agree and perhaps that is because he was presented as foil for Logan, with nothing else going for him.I think this is a big problem for me even in the rebooted universe he was shown to be a prism to view Jean through.I personally would prefer Scott being shown as an independent self sufficient character not someone just there to be a prop or to run around Jean.Like some lines in Dark Phoenix were bizzare..'You said you'll always come back to me..' that was weird af considering they barely knew each other. Scott was utterly mishandled in the film's no doubt about that.
