Scott Summers: Cyclops Appreciation 2019

Editorial wouldn't have been able to get as many cheap shots had Jeansus been around.

Are you kidding? The potential for cheap shots would be even higher, because it would include all the stuff with Emma too, and Jean being able to tell how much Scott sucks when she is not around.

Jean hasn't talked a bad word about Scott or his revolution since she came back.

True, it would require bad writing for her too do that. Enter Rosenberg.

I honestly have a hard time imagining anyone doing something that dumb after the Incel Forge fiasco from EXM. It would've been waaayyyy too obvious. By focusing on Cyclops' eviiiiillll professional misdeeds, editorial can pretend it's not personal. By, huh, having mouthpiece characters hugging themselves and running away because Scott is a jerk.

Heh...they just did an event about an Incel building a world where no one gets laid. I put nothing past them.

Alright, any last minute Cyclops-centric predictions for tomorrow's issue and its off-panel fallout?

Scott on his knees crying and begging Chuck for forgiveness? Scott and Jean reuniting off-panel during the inevitable/classic Hickman Time Jump?

Kamala dives in with a jetpack and kidnaps Cyke away to good adventures.

I’d kill for a homage scene where Kamala, in response to people blaming Scott, says “The X-Men are jerks!” Just like that Kitty Pryde scene

Let's keep making Scott look weird by making him hang out with teenagers.

It worked for Wolverine and his 300 sidekicks...

Fair enough, lol. Still, they're trying to pass off AoXM as some sort of deep commentary (People enjoy getting laid!!! Sex police lame!!!) on Utopias/Dystopias. Jean arbitrarily bagging on Scott would be something else entirely.

Ok I’ve been thinking about lately is how weird people are about Cyclops post being possessed by apocalypse. Like of course anyone that went through something so traumatic and violating would be screwed after going through that. However most characters are really cruel to him about it. Like Logan is one of the few to actually be helpful about it. That and the fact a lot of fans call Cyke ‘whiny’ etc. It’s almost like some lingering sexism or something weird like that. Maybe I’m wrong but in other types of fandom people don’t get mad for a character being screwed up by something like that.

As opposed to Havok and Dani? Nah, I might be wrong, but I imagine they wouldn't miss the golden opportunity of having Jean whine about all of Scott's alleged flaws, specially considering she is one of the few with a legitimate grievance due to the psychic affair. Maybe even have her bang Logan just to make Scott suffer more before they get back together, while of course never bringing up the fact he tried to murder her granddaughter for the same reason the Shi'ar murdered the rest of her family (even though Hope's on the team).

Logan and Emma were more caring and understanding than Jean and Chuck.

The theory is that most of the X-Men are screwed up so why should Scott get special treatment. I personally suspect he's at the next level in that department but that's the theory. There are arguments to be made for others who are, like Illyana or Warren, or should be, like Jean, but generally most characters don't carry their wounds so deep, or for so long, or effect them as much. Different people come to different conclusions for why that is.

Emma is not understanding of Scott's trauma. Never has been. She loves him, but she has very little tolerance for his weakness. As for Logan well...
