Cyclops/Scott Summers Appreciation 2024

[Darth_Caedus]

Gotta disagree here, Scott is in personality more close to Lupin, shy guy with a condition that makes him a danger to others and is always worrying about it.

And let's face James didn't like Snape because his friends were all the wizarding world equivalents to neo-nazis.

James was a bully to everyone, even his friends. He hated Snape way before he was affiliated with death eaters, he hated him because he was close to Lilly.
But Scott being more like Lupin makes sense, Snape was too much of a scum.

Cyclops and Jean were also a couple in the X-Men Legends video game series. I remember him being overprotective of her in the second game.

I loved those games. I can't remember now if the love triangle was ever brought up or not. If you entered Scott and Jean's bedrooms in the first game, you could read their love letters to each other. Way less icky than Bobby and Magma's awkward flirting.

No there was no love triangle in the games either. They were so cute lol.

A love triangle can be a good thing if it is used to move the story forward or create some compelling character growth, but those things require the triangle to be resolved. A love triangle as a status quo works for precisely 2 sets of comics characters. Archie, Betty, and Veronica, because they are a comedy and that doesn't require the story to advance, and for Clark, Lois, and Superman because one person is secretly 2 legs of the triangle - and that one eventually got resolved anyways.

[Darth_Caedus]

True. The love triangle was buried when Scott and Jean married and then was back for some stupid reason, more likely movie synergy. Personally I can't see either Emma or Logan to be the true loves of Scott and Jean. They have so much history and lore together, they fucking spent 12 years in the future raising their son, that's actually nearly as long as they've been superheroes in the main timeline.

Hopefully we're done with love triangles in X-Men '97 and fingers crossed that MCU would just allow Scott and Jean to be a happy couple, they could go the evolution route and make them much younger than Logan.

Right now, the rumor is that the MCU versions will be X-Men '97's cast in live-action.

Jesus fucking Christ. That would so cool. Where did you hear that from?

Also in the Storm thread, it was being discussed that there are rumors that Beau DeMayo is working on the X-Men movies.

I don't think that this going to be the case though

It's part of the MCU already. Disney added the show to the Disney+ Multiverse saga watchlist just a few days ago.

But that doesn't mean they're going to use the show's versions of the characters in their X-Men movies reboot

If '97 Cyclops ends up to be the MCU's main Cyclops, well I don't know what to say... that's just too much to handle!!
