And this is a good thing for a franchise based around team books?
They didn't make Cyclops 'better', they made him into Poochie. No, shut up, that's what he is now. He's Poochie. He's the center of attention whenever he's around, and when he's not, all any other character can talk about is where he's gone. He's gone full Poochie.
And I really wish we could skip to the part where he dies on the way back to his home planet and everything reverts to the Itchy & Scratchy Show as god intended.
Failing that he'll show up in Uncanny, render Extraordinary worthless and we've got another few years of the 'only worthwhile' X-book being the Greg Cocking Land book to look forward to. Cue limpest possible fanfare.
