Aww Scemma

Does Hickman ships Jott? Scemma? what will he choose?

Hickman in general does not usually have much interest with romantic plots. In his Avengers I can only remember Smasher and Cannonball. He is usually more interested in the concept of the family.

I doubt Hickman is much of a shipper- he'll likely put people together if fits better their character development. That said, the fact he's by no means an illusion of change kind of guy, and dislikes the idea of stories about stories is been going on at least since Bendis bringing the 05, if not earlier, is very good news.

He seems like a huge Emma fan who also likes Cyclops a lot. I wouldn't be surprised if he is into it.

[Hizashi]

Even if we suppose that Hickman would want to write Scemma, would Marvel let him? I don't need a Scemma revival, just for the narrative to acknowledge the history and mutual feelings between Scott and Emma. Respect the continuity.

[Omega Alpha]

I doubt Marvel would impose any relationship on him- they need him now more than the other way around.

Marvel hasn't been afraid of shooting down Hickman's plans. They've done it during Secret Wars. Before they made the full deal with Hickman, JDW said Marvel already had plans to bring back Cyclops post Phoenix Resurrection. We can assume they wanted the duo back alive together. It's entirely possible that they'd have requested that Scott and Jean get back together.

After the Dark Phoenix movie I'd say marvel should move towards the Astonishing X-Men from Whedons run and never look back

[phoenixzero23]

Have any of you seen Dark Phoenix yet?
what are your thoughts on this Scott?

I like James better, Tye got a little more to do but it wasn't much better.

I believe that will be the case. Which makes me fear for Jean's life but it is kind of good news for Scott.

[Frostberg]

Just saw Dark Phoenix.
It's certainly a better outing than X3 for Cyclops but don't get your hopes up for him actually having any real effect on the plot.

Is the Cyke improvement negligible? Seeing the marketing thought he would be completely sidelined.

I couldn't agree more. I am sympathetic for Jean's fans, since Fox somehow botched her narrative twice.

I wonder what that would look like though.

Marvel Editorial in the year of our Lord, 2019, does not impose relationships on writers nor restrict them in our sacred 21st century. Creative makes those calls in every notable instance. Except I guess when Panic totally cucked Guggs because Cates wrote the wedding for him. That was kinda awesome.

He's comparing it to X3... the lowest bar. That should say more than enough.

Again, the difference now is that Marvel needs Hickman a lot more than the other way around. His career is fine, his creator-owned books sell well, and he could go to DC at any moment and be well treated there, get that Legion of the Superheroes book he clearly dream about. Meanwhile, there's no one Marvel can get that would generate enough excitement and is a reliable seller (and SW being such a hit increased Hickman's standing even more).
