The whole Cyclops was right which dubbed him Rightclops though happened with AvX and that aftermath was written by Bendis. That Fraction run was a precursor and happened 2 runs before Bendis'
I also think you meant his death in DOX, not IVX. I disagree that all stories revolved around him prior to his death. Schism split up the X-men and the Wolverine side of the franchise had its own thing that had nothing to do with Cyclops. When Bendis took over, Scott was only featured in his two books; he wasnt leading mutantkind nor overseeing all the teams as he had done in Fraction's run

whenever he was officially christened the name, him being depicted as "rightclops" was very much a thing well before bendis came along as indicated by the utopian scans above. that period is where his characterization took a huge nosedive, though arguably what he did to Maddie could be seen as even worse than this regarding his character taking a dip.
cyclops was leading his own offshoot of xmen who decided to follow him during bendis run which led up to that anticlimactic revolution at the capital.
yes dox before ivx storyline that was correct. how many years was that of stories centering around him being leader of the xmen and "right" versus kitty? now don't get me wrong kitty from gold was absolutely atrocious but there were definitely similarities in why they both came off unlikable during their respective times as leaders of the xmen. think he was far worse and its great that Hickman course corrected with his character as it was greatly needed imho. maybe he isn't center of the xverse as he was under fraction, bendis, Aaron, etc., but at least he is way more likeable.

ALL HAIL THE HADARI YAO, THE OMEGA'S OMEGA, BEYOND OMEGA, THE VOICE OF SOL!!!! NOW AGAIN THE ONE TRUE AND ONLY GODDESS OF THE X-MEN AS CLAREMONT INTENDED!!!!!
They accepted because narrative painted Scott as good guy
LOis and Clark ar wholesome and they hve been making success for almost 100 years.
Gonna say that it was a bad take from Morrison. Male characters get all powerful and aren't some distant gods. Thor is a literal God!! recently he got many ups and still isn't completely aloof like Jean was.
She was pining after him, she still with him after all this time
It was time for editors step up and rewrite this scene. No wonder Frction run was so awful

I think this was around the same time Nick Lowe was X-men editor and said he saw the X-men franchise as the story of Cyclops. Clueless people and thinking like that is why you get scenes like this.
To get back on topic though.... making Psylocke a telekinetic during Revolution was awful and never should have happened. She should have just stayed a telepath. All the crap going on with her powers over the years is dumb.

I called him RightClops because Marvel's intended end for him, as a villainous Magneto-expy, didn't work any more than trying to replace the X-Men with the Inhumans.
I've gone on record as saying that Scott shouldn't have had such a big focus in that era of X-Men, but let's not pretend that there weren't other X-Books where he didn't appear in at all.
I'll give you the Magneto bowing thing, I think I know what they were trying to do for the narrative (characters aside) but this interaction should've been more understated.
Does it need doing?
Yes.
Then it will be done.
Alan Davis is overrated as an artist. My first exposure to him was during his late 90s run on X-men. His art looked terrible especially in comparison to Kubert who was drawing Uncanny.
