    The problem with Cyclops in the movies is they clearly didn’t know what to do with him, & he got shafted by Wolverine. This is why I hope that the MCU Wolverine gets his own standalone films so he has his place to shine, & when he’s present in the X-Men movies, he’s a supporting character, Cyclops gets to be the leader of the team as he should be.

      It made him likable, sure, but he was severely underpowered and not all that interesting. My favorite depiction is still Wolverine and The X-Men. I know Scott was portrayed more careless, aggressive, and depressed in the show, but that Scott had been through every ringer, and was simply done with holding back or showing restraint. That was the first show that ever convinced me to take Cyclops seriously, and consider him an actual threat. The show’s depiction of his power is terrifying. Yes, they had to make it a Wolverine-centric show because the studio demanded it, essentially switching Logan and Scott’s roles, but Cyclops was still the most interesting character.

      lol Nothing comes close to the original X-Men animated series. I am almost 40 and watched every X-Men series when I was a child. After the series ended I was never invested in the universe like I was the X-Men Spidermen Universe that even had Blade in it. Blade is still connected to this universe! as well as spiderman. And Madame Web. There is almost 15 years of universe building. They have so much to work with. This Universe is the only universe I know that had both Avengers and X-men in them. Tony Stark is in this universe.

    Cyclops does have an extra power beyond just his optic blasts. It's super spatial awareness. It's how he can be so accurate with shots.

      Cyclops being sidelined while criminal, wasnt exacly unfounded. He was very few people's favorite X-Man. He was the least interesting member of his family tree. Then you have Wolverine The Face of the X-Men. The most popular character in Marvel next to and sometimes surpassing Spidey. Its no surprise the 2000s movies were Wolverine centric and Scott was...just there. Yet, I dont recall anyone being too pressed about how Cyclops was being underused at the time.

Having been somebody who only watched the X-Men films, I always wondered what the comics did differently to the films, however, I never bothered to figure out, because every X-men comic I attempted read (Unlike most comics) just expects me to have read every mainline X-Men comic since the 1970s, so I just can't get into them, lol, but yeah X-Men comic fans love Cyclops

    We can all have our favorite interpretation of the character, and my personal favorite Scott Summers is from Xmen evolution. Completely shared your opinion about Cyclops being the leader until I saw that series.
    In a series about people growing up like the Xmen, there are hardly ever stories of them actually in school growing up. Xmen Evolution had Xavier gather students to the institution one by one. Scott was one of the older kids that looked out for everyone being the uptight "Dad" of the group. From baby sitter to even the little things like logistics--Scott could pilot the X-wing while teaching a younger student how to pilot it like older brother would and mentioned charting the destination with the FAA on a trip to recruiting another student. (Really specific thing to remember, but that stood out to me back then as someone into Aviation. Imo you wanna be leader of the Xmen, you gotta be straight with the FAA jk) Prof X even commended him, "well done son. You're growing up."
    You really saw Scott-- evo-- mature into a leader and earn that spot.

      Heck, in the Krakoa era, Cyclops and Jean defy the quiet council and reform the Xmen to be world defenders and spills the beans on resurrection because he wants to establish trust with the rest of the world.

    I always saw Cyclops and Gambit (and Jubillee if we count her) as the weak links of the team simply because of their lack of defensive feats. Everyone else on the team either has superhuman durability (Rogue, Beast, Wolverine) or has powers that could act as a protective shield/barrier (Jean, Storm, Magneto). Cyclops and Gambit are glass canons, all attack and no defense, it's hard to imagine they would last long in most fights with their stamina, mobility and durability being that of a regular human.

      One thing that is not often explored is cyclops martial and tactical prowess. He and gambit are highly skilled and agile people, capable of compensating for their specialization. Also, comic book cyclops can actually release a small scale nuke through his eyes. So no, not a weak link.

      @@azuresaiyan9005 Yeah that all sounds like a lot of bull slapped onto the box to sell a product, you used a lot of words to not make an actual case for Cyclops. "Peak human body" still means a human body, that could be killed by a single bullet, that you don't really have an effective way of blocking consistantly with your powers. Lets be honest, in a real life battle against Sentinals, Cyclops would probably be killed off by one of the enviromental debris flying around lol

    Both Cyclops and Storm were given their just dues in X97. Storm's entrance after the sentinels warning system goes off 'omega level threat detected'... That and the 'Give em the forecast' line by Scott. Man. Rewound that sequence so many times. They really need to put across how capable and powerful both Storm and Cyclops are in the MCU movies. There's a reason they are leaders A1 and A2 for the X-Men.

    Non-comic books readers really don't get Cyclops.
    All you need is to read him in Claremont's X-Men. Or in X-Factor. Or in Joss Whedon's Astonishing X-Men.
    Scott is arguably the best strategist in the Marvel Universe. He's even better than Captain America.
    He doesn't just shoot rays from his eyes. He shoots kinetic energy blasts that probably come from another dimension, meaning he's actually a nexus to a different dimension as a result of his mutation. Not only that. A secondary mutation he has is a super spacial awareness (which is why he can use his optic blasts so efficiently). That not only makes him incredibly proficient with his blasts, but also makes him an excellent hand to hand fighter.
    On some occasions, he got his powers temporarily removed, and he proved he's extremely badass even without them.
    In the alternate future of Age of Apocalypse, in which he turned into a villain, he was able to permanently cripple Wolverine, destroying one of his hands in a way that made it impossible to be regenerated.
    Oh, and by the way, his optic visor is used to give his optic blast precision and LIMIT its destructivity. Without it, he can easily level up city blocks with a mere look.
    There's a cool panel in Astonishing X-Men where the school gets attacked by sentinels and, in the heat of a the battle, he simply tells everyone to take cover, and then removes his visor, says "I want this thing off my lawn" and just VAPORIZE half the environment, trashing a sentinel in the process. Wolverine reacts by telling him that from time to time he remembers why he's the leader.

    • @ShadowSonic2
      @ShadowSonic2 7 วันที่ผ่านมา

      You have to understand, at the time the first X Men movies were made Cyclops hadn't been an important or relevant character in the comics for 15 years. From him coming back in X Factor in the mid 80s abd through ALL the 90s no one knew what to do with him, he got no arcs or storylines of his own. Anything to do with him was always tied to the 90s fad characters like Cable or whatnot. He really was reduced to Nothing but "Hardass leader guy who clashes with Logan" and that's it.
      It wasn't until the 90s were over and all those 90s fads were done and 90s characters stars' had fallen that new writers came on who disliked characters like Wolverine. This led to Cyclops undergoing his Renaissance as a character and he's been on a roll the last 20 years as a result.
      So adaptations now have more to work with in writing him.
