This. They pushed hard for Scott to be a villain (for years, even, in Schism, then IvX), in-universe even having people act like he was some sort of mutant terrorist worse than Magneto could ever be, but in reality.. he really never did anything all that crazy.

And I'm happy to explain to anyone how ridiculous AvX was and how absolutely bonkers it was for the entire Avengers crew to show up to Utopia on a helicarrier and tell Scott "give us Hope or we're coming onto your sovereign territory and kidnapping her because we, the avengers, know better than you, her family and fellow species, do". Ab-sol-utely outrageous how they tried to make Scott look bad when all he was doing was trying to protect him and his from a world constantly fighting them for everything they tried to do.

But they've done a lot of dumb shit over the years with the x-men, tbh, scott and logan were not alone in that. (I really hate how illyana and piotr were pitted against each other for really no reason besides nonsense angst, and how kitty and colossus' breakup made absolutely no sense, but that's another pair of stories)
