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.
I think this series just proves "superhero fatigue" isn't a thing. Bad show fatigue is a thing.
Cyclops should be like john wick with laser eyes. Hes a brilliant strategist, excellent leader and his combat skills are severly underrated. This show has given cyclops more respect than every single X-Men film combined.

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.

@@Hillthugsta He was a favourite among comic fans, I don't read X-Men, (aside from the odd Wolverine solo comic) you don't really find it on the surface level of CBM posts or videos, but you will find a lot of comic fans who surprisingly have Scott ranked as their number 1 favourite hero, and if not that, he's their favourite X-Men, this has been the case for as long as I can remember reading comics, but it was real diehard fans that were of that opinion. 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 (I will say though, it's funny how everyone is now suddenly discovering that cyclops is actually a fleshed out character and pretending that they always hated how underused he was in the Fox films, when you NEVER saw anybody complain about that before, I feel like a lot of people are trying to fit in with the crowd, lolll)

4:15 Cyclops breaks his fall with his optic blasts in Xmen Evolution as well. I believe it was finale of the first season. Totally loved the Xmen 90s series too as a kid, and all the support this new series is getting is great! 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.

oh there’s definitely that but I think the other thing is that there’s been enough comics since where, whilst Wolverine steals the show, we have seen more from Scott in the grand scheme of things. Whilst the Morrison run has his psychic affair with Emma, that came from a lot of existential crises eg the character reflecting on his emotional constipation and his relationship with Jean. 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.

Cyclops doesn't just have Optic Blasts but also extreme spatial awareness. It's what allows him to bounce his beams off objects (even better than Cap uses his shield most times)
Joss Whedon’s run of Astonishing X-Men shows just how badass Cyclops can be.
The last best cyclops was probably the one from X-Men: Evolution. Scott was perfect in that big brother role, responsible but still a little childish. I think making him one of the teachers would've made him too stuffy and forced them to sand off all of his flaws, but his flaws are a perfect fit for an older teen.
Cyclops was also great in Marvel vs Capcom games
Cyclops was always supposed to be this cool. I'm so glad they finally are doing him justice
My favorite aspect of cyclops is exactly because of how you describe the characters. Scott has one of the more basic and simple powers, but when he’s written right he still is a big enough badass to prove why he’s the leader, he’ll beat your ass
I never even knew Cyclops could be cool until I watched 97. His fighting style in the show is so much more dynamic and interesting than in the movies, and also it shows an understanding that Cyclops's eye beam is NOT a "laser", it's a concussive blast and THAT is what makes it such a versatile weapon.
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.

Cyclops has always been my favorite X-men, X-man? glad to see him not just being an obstacle to wolverine for the millionth time
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.

Let not lie. We were on slept on Cyclops
Actually, I vaguely remember "X-Men Evolution" in which he landed on the ground after leaving Asteroid M, using his eye beam as thrust. It wasn't new, but this just become cooler in 97.
I'm truly convinced that whoever wrote Scott in X-Men '97 played him in the Marvel VS Capcom games. This show is amazing and everything Marvel needed. If only the MCU could reflect that. Now imagine if we could get a sequel to Spiderman The Animated series in this vein. I would literally cry tears of happiness.
My favorite Cyclops is the version from Wolverine and the X Men.
X-Men are indeed the GOATs.
I remember the one director apparently was a big Marvel Vs. Capcom fan whose main was Cyclops and he said he tried to get all the moves Cyclops could do in MVC2 into the show. Not all them made the cut, but that just goes to show how much of an effort went into making him actually cool again.
I remember one issue in the 80s where Cyclops saved Wolverine from falling several stories to his death by adjusting his optic blasts and shooting Wolverine while he fell so it “softened” his landing when he hit the ground. Thank you John Byrne!
X-Men '97 has gave us the best, kick ass Cyclops in years!!!! Hopefully the MCU will give Cyclops and the rest of the X-Men it deserve. Still my favorite X-Man!
I just fucking love the idea that his eyes are portals to a dimension of pure kinetic energy. Allows you to do so much with him. But no one actually does anything with him.

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.

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.
Cyclops is great in Wolverine and the X-Men as well

Growing up, my favourite X-Man was and still is Wolverine; however, it was always plain to me that Scott is the leader of the team, his optic blasts being one of the biggest cannons on the team and I always found his film versions incredibly disrespectful and it's so great to see the real Cyclops back in action!
That's why he's the leader, he lacks the extra thing but uses his one gimmick in a lot of different ways
Other than Wolverine Publicity, Cyclops' years of being shafted for so long probably has to do with the perception of laser vision, and having _only_ laser vision, as a superpower being seen as "lame" just like how Angel is seen as useless because he can only fly. Laser vision usually accommodates other powers like flight and super strength so that probably contributed to Cyclops' lack of popularity until now
Who ever finally gives him a gun/guns in the movies like in the comics will be a 🐐
Laser blasting the ground to hamper his fall in the first episode was OP
He doesn’t shoot laser beams out of his eyes
The true leader of the X-Men, no Wolverine pushing him to the side.
This series and First Class are peak 🧑🍳"chefs kiss"
Cyclops is Marvel’s Nightwing 😎
He died in x3 due to brian singer leaving to do superman and the actor went to play lois lanes love interest....
Best one ever, after the first movie he is some written out in the first and then show up in the end.
Yeah I loved what they did with Scott. Reminded me of Captain america in the movies. Cause everyone is like uhh.. ok some dude with a shield. Why is here here. Then they showed you why he running shit. Same thing happened here with Cyclops. He came out swinging and showed you why he running this gang.
Cyclops is one of my three favourite X-men (the other two being Gambit and Rogue) and it’s so cool to see him done justice.
Cyclops has super strength and durability and I think immune to telepathy, and his optic beams can destroy everything and anything if his googles are off! The googles limit his power, cuz he’s afraid of destroying everything he sets his eyes on!
"Cyclops? All he does is slaughter every single person he loves." -My friend who has only seen the movies, when I asked him what he finds cool about cyclops
It’s hard to believe that’s never happened in a comic before
