What Every X-Men Movie (Even The Great Ones) Got Wrong - Cyclops

Ойын-сауық

See the full episode this clip is from:
• Spider-Man Far From Ho...
Zack Harris - Hi John, Cyclops never really got to shine or lead the team in Fox’s X-men. I’m hoping the MCU will give him the justice he deserves. I think they should give him the button in his glove to control his optic blasts so he can fire while also doing hand to hand combat. A scene with him showing off his fighting skills while also shooting his lasers would be really cool.

    This is the soul reason I don’t want Marvel to immediately recast Wolverine, Fox has made Logan way to integral: Marvel needs to build Cyclops, Storm and Jean first, then recast Wolverine.

    Yes...and No. I think the perfect set up for the first film should be an adaptation of Giant Size X-Men #1, where Wolverine, Storm, Nightcrawler, Colossus and others join the team under Cyclops clearly established leadership. Cyclops needs to be shown as an incredible leader like Captain America and Wolverine needs to be written akin to the Hulk: A tank/game changer, but not the focus. Storm should be team leader by the third film and Wolverine needs to be continuously written as the support character he was in the classic comics where he grew in popularity. Save all the “Wolverinemania” for his inevitable solo films which will most likely come out before any X-Men team films. Wolverine was never the focus until the very modern era of the last 10-15 years where they crammed him into everything including the Avengers. If anything, X-Men was mainly about the saga of Cyclops and Jean Grey. The majority of main characters, storylines and concepts for almost 30 years straight revolved around them, their children or their alternate futures and realities (Cable, Stryfe, Rachel Summers/Phoenix II, Days of Future Past, Past of Future Days, X-Cutioners Song, Inferno, Madelyn Pryor, The Twelve, Apocalypse, The Phoenix/Dark Phoenix Sagas, Mister Sinister, Nate Grey/X-Man, X-Factor Vol 1).

    ​@@trealsteve Mister Sinister. We need Mister Sinister to be the main villain with the MCU XMen, and then that automatically sets up the story needing to have *a* Cyclops focus. We could learn about the villain and Cyclops concurrently, because Mr. Sinister is interested in Cyclops. Well, his genes specifically, but all the same. Let's see why. In fact, let's have Minister Sinister not be the main right away. Could be a movie 2 situation. But the audience could take a deeper interest in Cyclops through the wonder of why this Sinister guy is so interested in him. Like we see he's interested, and then we see Cyclops is interesting, and there we go. I don't know, that's just what popped in there. Needs work obvi.

Cyclops is the #9 most popular character in marvel with the only x-man more popular being wolverine at #3. He’s more than popular enough to be a centrepiece character so saying he isn’t is just bullshit.

    Cyclops is supposed to embody Xavier's dream of co-existence between humans and mutants. He's Xavier's first "X-Man". Summer's is a "schtickler for the rules" kinda guy. He's always serious and comes off as a hard ass because if he lets his gaurd down for only a second, he could potentially kill someone just by looking at them. Add the fact that if he fails in trying to achieve peace, his entire race could be eradicated. That's a lot responsibility for ANYONE to have on thier shoulders. Also Scott has to reign in the most diverse and conflicting personalities from all over the world (like Wolverine, who constantly tests his leadership) and somehow get them to stop being selfish assholes and work as a team. That's pretty badass if you ask me.

    Facts. 1. The Wolverine we got was really a pretty boy trying to act tough with mediocre fighting skills. 2. Magneto was unnecessarily cruel like his Silver Age version and never got the nuances that Claremont added. 3. Xavier got knocked out, kidnapped, tortured, manipulated, overpowered and killed too much. 4. Mystique was written entirely wrong from The Last Stand onward. 5. Storm was underpowered, criminally underwritten and miscast. 6. Jean Grey...see above 7. Cyclops was written to be Wolverine’s cuckold. Wrong on so many levels. 8. They made the school open to hundreds of children. We’ve been suffering that concept in the comics ever since they allowed that in Grant Morrison’s run, no doubt inspired by the films. Unnecessary collateral damage. 9. They literally made the Unstoppable Juggernaut a joke. 10. They wasted both the Phoenix and Dark Phoenix Sagas twice. The only things they “mostly” got right in the entire franchise were: 1. The Blackbird in the first four films including the incredibly mediocre “First Class” (NOT) film and the Deadpool films. 2. Magneto’s helmet in (NOT) First Class. 3. Cerebro (mostly). 4. Wolverine’s claws (except Origins). 5. Colossus’ powers. 6. Rogue’s powers. 7. Stan Lee’s cameos. 8. Chris Claremont’s cameo. 9. Wolverine is Canadian. 10. The fact that the X-Men are Mutants. They messed everything else up.

Even if Cyclops is not the most beloved character, he is and has always been an important part of X Men stories. To have so undermined the character is just such a shame.

    How do you figure Cyclops is not a popular enough character? He has more than enough popularity to be a lead character. He was pretty much the lead character in X-men TAS and by many estimates, he is the second most popular after Wolverine (Storm might tie him for that place). We never even knew who Starlord was or any of the guardians yet now they are super popular. I absolutely think he should be a lead character in the upcoming movies. I am actually shocked as an X-man fan that you didn't think so on your own.

    Cyclops is by far my favorite X-Man character. I understand why Wolverine was interesting for movie goers but they totally benched him and kept him not only from center stage but the stage entirely. He is more than just a cool mutant power. He has the leadership and strategy and great character arcs. He is not the anti hero but he is the moral compass that the team needs and that would even help Logan stand out and build off of...real shame they blew it.

    I just felt so bad for James Marsden because he had the perfect look for Scott Summers/Cyclops and he could have done a great job with the role but unfortunately, he ended up being completely wasted with nothing to show for it. At least the first film showed some potential with him being a good leader as what we all have expected from Cyclops but everything onward just screwed him over and did the character dirty. Anyways, with the new era of X-Men on film coming upon us real soon, Cyclops should take more center stage as the natural leader of the X-Men as what he should have been from the beginning and with Steve Rogers/Captain America being such a beloved character in the MCU, can we expect Cyclops to be X-Men's answer to Captain America? At least with the upside of being in the MCU, they don't have to be in just X-Men films and can guest star in other films as well to get even more of the development needed as well.

    One of the biggest differences between the MCU and the Fox comic book movies is that the MCU always gave everyone ample screen time in the team movies. Iron Man was the most popular character, but in the Avengers movies you saw plenty of Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Widow, etc... This is also true with Guardians of the Galaxy. So if the X-Men started in the MCU, Cyclops wouldn't have been a side character based on that alone. If the MCU can make awesome solo movies for Captain America, Dr. Strange, and Ant Man, I really would love to see what they could do with a Cyclops solo movie.
