Pretty much this in a nutshell. But I'd also add, we don't get to see absurdly-prepared!Clops or never-say-die!Clops anymore. Like, after the last convo on which Toon!Clops was the best, I rewatched the X-Men anime. That moment where Scott was tanking Armor's wild hits to get her to control her powers is peak Cyclops for me.
T'was the 2000s-onwards Clops that gradually made me a fan. Prior to that, I was a Wolverine fanboy, and W&XM was my favorite show.
Decimation, Messiah Complex, Dar Avengers/X-Men Utopia, Necrosha, Second Coming, Fear Itself, Gillen's run. Spent so much money and comics and enjoyed every bit of 'em.
And now, my Marvel pull list is zero hahahaha
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.

Alright, totally-not-cynical CyPoll of the week:
Will Cyclops' Gala glorified cameo end up with him being paralyzed from the waist or from the neck down?
Given that there's no teammate around to provide a telekinetic/magnetic/whatever field to cushion his fall, I'm assuming Duggan goes the "he can't take a punch, but he can survive being thrown off a building because that's totally how it works, duh".
Waist down is cheap and "slightly" on the nose, but from the neck down means there's nothing left to maim/torture and zero potential for BrokenClops crawling around imagery. I'll have to go with the former.
Scott hasn't been well treated in ANY event since Krakoa started, His best showing was in X of Swords, where he didn't really participate until the very end, but was a positive part of the aftermath. Everywhere else he has either been an early death, possessed, or dismissed as unneeded on panel for the damned climax.
Dark does not mean deep.
Duggan's Cyclops is so pathetic. The 2000's and early 2010's made Cyclops a respectable leader, now he's useless. Maybe they should permanently retire him from the books if his only function is to be ridiculed.
At this point, I don't even know what to say about his portrayal. It's an endless void. Could've done without the added insult to injury, however.
I'm not even sure I feel like returning to the X-books next year.

Read the spoiler thread and I kinda shake my head at the fan reaction / outrage. Clearly, writer went for the shock factor to get people talking.
And it worked. Given that this is a comic book, we all know everyone's coming back at some point in time. Dudes just gonna hit a reset button of some kind so, eh.
All that said, I just think back to the army of Nimrods Cyke lead the X-Men against in Second Coming. And then I laugh at the Gala.

It's definitely derivative, but that's not surprising.
