It was the other way round tho. Not really other way round but like Scott wasn’t cheating before Jeans kiss.
- Scott was possessed by apocalypse ( an evil entity)
- Scott was suffering from PTSD - HE was emotionally unstable, not Jean but Scott .. cuz u know he was possessed
- Jean didn’t attend to Scott’s needs ... she dismissed them n told him he will get over em. But I do admit it was OOC
- Jean n Scott marriage was falling out.
- Both Jean n Scott sought out outside comfort ... Jean kissed Logan and Scott had an affair with Emma.
So the way u phrased it .. is kinda wrong.

Scott left maddy and baby cable to get with resurrected jean so technically he's the first cheater. And jean being "dismissive" and "not attending to his need" is not a reason for cheating lmao. Jean was being repossessed by the phoenix again during morrison new x-men so that scrambled her mental wellbeing, it wasn't so much jean not caring about scott anymore and more like she was having an internal war in her psyche and on the edge of a mental breakdown. Scott had already started his affair with emma (they hadn't slept together yet but its was definitely what people call emotional cheating) and jean kissed logan after confiding about her worries and how shaky their relationship has become
I’m sorry but Scott didn’t cheat on Maddie, he didn’t intend on leaving Madelyne to get back to Jean. That’s the main reason i believe Morrison wrote cyclops OOC, adultery isn’t in his character. It never was.
Ok I think you misunderstood what I meant, Jean being dismissive and not attending to her husband needs is NOT an excuse for cheating but it sure pushed cyclops and hindered their relationship.
For the record, I am not blaming Jean ... the two of them f**ked up. They sought comfort outside one another which was the core problem.
Scott and Emma emotionally cheatin? Jean and Logan were also emotionally cheating? Both Scott and Jean ruined the relationship... it’s not just Scott or just Jean.
Btw Jean worrying about the state of the relationship isn’t an excuse for cheating, she could have just read Scott’s mind and get it over with but she went to Logan.
While I can see the argument of how minorities will always have some kind of discrimination like racism and homophobia, I am inclined to agree. The longer you draw out a storyline about acceptance and tolerance, the more it becomes a satire of the idea of acceptance and tolerance. The X-Men have existed since the 1980s in-universe. It's 2017-2018 in-universe. It makes the X-Men look like failures when it comes to enacting change. Whenever mass public acceptance is around the corner, it slips away from them. When acceptance finally comes to them, it never feels like creating a new status quo. It seems to be creating an exception to the status quo rather than the rule.
Like I said before, it never feels like the X-Men ever win when it comes to their 10^9 apocalyptic wasteland. It feels more like the X-Men just delayed the next one. And suddenly, it becomes insulting.
It's not really a problem in the mutant metaphor per se though. It's writers and editors who just regurgitate the same old story beats from the Claremont run instead of considering current social issues. Morrison tried to evolve mutants into a subculture with more nuances, and that was entirely destroyed with House of M (just like most of his run). Tom Taylor was the last big example of trying to modernize the mutant metaphor, but even then his take still ended up being very old fashioned. The franchise in general just needs a clearer, forward thinking vision instead of just eternally referencing the past.
