>Q: Why all the hate for Cyclops?
>A: Because Cyclops is basically terrible.

>Yeah, I know, that’s exactly what I said about Aquaman. If I use it three times, though, it officially becomes a running gag, and that’ll come in handy the next time someone asks about Hawkman....
>I know otherwise rational people who insist that he’s not just the best X-Man, but one of the best characters ever. And they stick by this statement, even when you remind them that Cyclops is not Wolverine and therefore does not fight ninjas, like, all the time. It’s weird.

>This is how most of my conversations about Cyclops go. You can see how this is a problem. But the thing about Cyclops is that even if I agree with all that and see where he’s coming from, he’s still not Spider-Man. That might not sound fair. I mean, there are plenty of comic book characters who aren’t Spider-Man, and at least seven or eight of them are well worth reading about.

>...that’s the image of Cyclops that I have in my head whenever he shows up: The guy who frowns at all the cool characters and tries to stop them from doing awesome things because the Professor says and we have a responsibility and you can’t just stab everyone and not now Jean I have to program the Danger Room. And he kind of has to be that way, because there has to be someone providing the core of the team so that everyone else can orbit around it and push away; Wolverine wouldn’t be Wolverine if he didn’t have Cyclops to rebel against. I’d just rather read about the rebelling than the guy who tells him hey stop that, it’s after 10 and we have a noise policy here.

What is with the "Cyclops sucks" meme that Marvel and braindead retards like these fags are trying to push?

He's a highly disciplined, no nonsense leader of his team because he feels the weight of responsibility on his shoulders for protecting the entirety of the mutant race. He takes what he does with deadly seriousness and his teammates find him rigid and hard headed for it

That's the worst part about it. I had the same theory, but recently my roommate and I have been rewatching the series and Cyclops actually is really cool, has tons of emotional range, and is just as snarky, rebellious at times, and angry as Logan.

People remember him completely wrong is the problem, and most of that is because of Jean.

This whole article reeks of faggotry from some guy with daddy issues.

Cyclops was and will always be my favourite X-Men character, because I actually read the old comics at a comic store when I was young.

Wolverine just came off as an edgy tryhard when I read stuff he was in later on.

Cyclops is a character whose story was over at the end of Uncanny X-Men or, if we REALLY stretch it, when Jean was revived originally.

The fact that they've dragged him out this long has only hurt him. I find it a shame he has to be remembered as being character-assassinated into being a villain because Marvel no longer likes his kind of hero (white, male, dutiful, disciplined, but smart and brave).

I can see that. Batman doesn't want people to have to suffer the way he did as a child, and Cyclops doesn't want people to have to suffer the way he did. Both are willing to protect people at the cost of their own lives.

I think the difference is that Batman does what he does out of feelings of guilt, while Cyclops does what he does out of duty.

There's also the fact that Batman is applauded for heroism, while the Marvel universe has every single hero and villain gang up on Scott for doing the right thing.

Why do you fags have to play into this shitty narrative? Don't fucking frame everything in the context of gender and race. There isn't a single one of these characters that represents men, women, white people, black people or any other kind of political identity of that nature. Cyclops does not represent white men in the same way that Storm does not represent black women. You've let your mind get infected with this racial persecution complex

I looked up to white male characters like Cyclops when I was a kid over the black ones because they looked more like me.

Referencing that Marvel is trying to phase that kind of character out is a statement of fact, not a 'persecution complex.'

The only one left off the top of my head of their current runs is Tony Stark, and that's because RDJ sells movie tickets.

>This whole article reeks of faggotry from some guy with daddy issues.

You know, I've noticed this a lot in comics. Batman nowadays focuses on Thomas Wayne's influences on Bruce a lot more than Martha, Superman always has Jor-El and Pa Kent, modern Flash grew up with a dead mom (and the show hands out new dads like candy.)

I've got a theory that a lot of the people writing now grew up with Boomer dads who worked long hours at factory jobs or something, so they never had a father figure near them. It seems as if a lot of comic book characters either fill those surrogate father roles or are self-inserts for the writers' own issues.

White males still have the most representation with white women close behind. Almost 2/3 of characters are white (Vision doesn't count for any race) which is roughly proportional to the American population.

My going theory is that Cyclops is too real for most cape fans, and by direct expension most writers as well (since 90% of all writers today are essentially just fans that get paid to write fanfiction).

Characters like Wolverine are the cool guys that every child and manchild wants to be. They're the tough guys who don't take shit from anyone, who can get away with almost anything, and who have that dark and gritty edge to them that 13 year olds try to replicate in their Sonic the Hedgehog OCs. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Wolverine is just that. He can be amazing in the right hands. But it's the image that counts.

When people contrast a character like Wolverine with a character like Cyclops, people are usually quick to point out the superficial differences. Wolverine is the cool bad-boy rebel, while Cyclops is the uptight straight-laced boyscout. The eternal party pooper, only there to complain about Wolverine's immaturity and irresponsibility, making him even cooler by contrast.

And while that's true to a certain extent, I don't think that's the real reason why people dislike Cyclops. Captain America is a straight-laced boyscout as well much of the time, but he doesn't catch nearly as much flak for it.

The reason, as I mentioned above, is that Cyclops is too real. Wolverine is the guy our inner manchild desperately wants to be, but Cyclops is much closer to the guys we really are and (perhaps even worse) the guys we're expected to be. The responsible guy who does his homework and goes to bed early instead of partying all night long. The guy who fucks up and has to live with the consequences instead of running away from it (which is more Wolverine's thing). The guy who never quite feels at home, but does what he can anyway. The guy who fails, who doubts himself, but for whom that failure and doubt is also a constant inspiration to be better.

I've seen it happen so many times with white men who get caught up in this pitiful racial persecution complex, literally just ranting about how women and non white people are keeping them down and oppressing them. These are of course the exact same people who would criticize black men for complaining about white people holding them down, but as soon as they got the chance they all jumped on the racial persecution train.

It's ironic that these guys are saying they like Cyclops so much too, when he is defined as a character by his capacity to overcome and disregard all of the unjust and unfair hatred levied against him by society and still hold to his ideals and his sense of duty even though he gets nothing but hatred for it
>>
>>83512512
I stopped reading as many comics of late because of my job and university, I'll probably catch up on a few select titles when I have a chance.

Said off the top of my head, by the way, not "I just did thorough research and have extrapolated exactly 17 results."

Is Spider-Man Peter? I thought they brought Miles into 616. Didn't know Moon Knight still existed given I never hear anything about the character tbqh, figured they'd kill him off or something, I do quite like him, hope he goes to Netflix.

>>83512618
I've actually theorised the bit about comic characters filling surrogate father roles for awhile, first it was as you said, the lack of a father figure, and recently I've seen it as 'defiance of the father figure.'

Where the writers express how much they hate 'strict' characters by writing them into villain roles or just getting rid of them, because daddy didn't buy them an ice cream once.

>>83512647

Here's a tip, too: we don't need 2/3rds in rough proportionality with the American population, because white males are the ones that buy comic books.

The new 'feminist' books and 'racial diversity' books are just a shallow marketing scheme to get upboats on Reddit.

Marvel's gone as far lately as turning Captain Britain into a Muslim woman. That was almost the point at which I wanted to drop comic books. I'll wait until they replace Dr. Strange with Neil DeGrasse Tyson first.

I like that he's the NO FUN ALLOWED guy because somebody on the team had to be, he had the responsibility shouldered onto him and he's endured it ever since. It makes him compelling.

>I love Superman and I hate Cyclops but I like Cyclops BECAUSE I hate him if that makes sense. I like that he's the stick in the mud control freak with enormous psychological issues and huge control freak because he hasn't been able to look at people without hurting them since he was ten years old. I like that he's the NO FUN ALLOWED guy because somebody on the team had to be, he had the responsibility shouldered onto him and he's endured it ever since. It makes him compelling. I love reading about him and watching him fuck up, even if I dislike him as a person.

No, translation: sell to your demographic, don't make it upset with you.

The part that bothers me is that they're forcing it for the diversity trend.

It's not races alone, it's things like Squirrel Girl and that fucking bimbo they have as a scientist spouting off about how 'superheroes don't need a Y-chromosome.'

If they weren't politicising it, I'd care much less. But you aren't here to listen to what I'm saying, you're here to strawman and rave.

We're one group in America, that's for sure, because no one but us will represent our interests.

When I lived in Russia, I was a Russian, not 'white.' Such a concept is foreign to a nation. But America is no nation, America is a country, and too polyethnic to be a nation. So I become white here.

I always thought it was the cartoon as well. I've never gone back and watched it as a kid. but from when I remember he was just boring, I always liked morph the most followed by gambit and rogue, as I kid I guess I just really liked their backstories and characterization more than sniktbub. and cyclopes didn't really register much with me until I read the comic. from the comic I recall him being loyal, smart, heroic, and having a pretty awesome super powers compared to the other x-men, but there were some runs where he was more written as a bratty jerk mostly to push more wolverine down the readers throat, maybe it's more the comics than the cartoon that soured him with some people.

Most of the big books aren't politicizing it and the only one that is (Thor) doesn't do it as the focus. The ridiculous political books aren't big or the "main" books in any way.

Squirrel Girl is bad but has little to no politics (or at least the issues I read before dropping it didn't). Mockingbird (the book that actually has the Y-chromosome page) isn't big or important..

I'm not strawmaning you in any way. You posted pictures of Marvel promotional line-ups as if the reasonable level of non-whites was somehow offensive. All I did was point out how dumb of an attitude that is

Literally two pages out of a book. The book sucks but the politics are mostly limited to the panels that get posted on /co/.

Also the other two aren't from Thor. Read some fucking comics or at least learn to recognize art. I'm not trying to imply there aren't dumb politics in comics but it's not in the majority of books (unless the existence of minorities triggers you) and it isn't even the majority of the books it is in.

They have been butchering the X-Men for a few years. After Claremont the X-Men were left out in the wilderness in terms of comics.

New X-Men was great and started a few decent good bits.

Cyclops is disliked as this anon says:
>>83511806
The cartoon really had an effect on people's psyche andthey don't realise it as good in places because it took really good comic events.

Cyclops will always be the stick in the mud shafter for other people. The X-Men have had a massive problem of characterisation both in comics and movies because they stuff the books with every known character and then have to keep focus on popular characters. Think of all those forgotten mutants left to the wayside so the next writer can forget they exist.

X-Men has a big problem and Cyclops is a massive representation of how they don't know where to take it.

>>83513788

You just seem to be externalising your own issues instead of adding to the discussion.

/pol/ and SJW types (like you) are just as bad as each other. Someone made a criticism that they don't know how to handle a character like Scott and mentioned him being white and what happens? You both get angry and make everything about your own ideologies instead of talking about comics.

So /pol/ needs to fuck off back there. And you, you need to fuck off back to tumblr.

Cyclops is a guy who'd be put in a situation in which he would have to sacrifice a member if his own team in order to complete the mission he was tasked with, at the cost of taking the resentment and hatred of everyone else. It would be a necessary sacrifice and ultimately the right decision, but it's not the sentimental choice. Cyclops can't afford to be emotional in his thinking, but taking up this role on the team allows everyone else to feel less guilt themselves.

Also my problem with these run downs isn't that they're calling people out, but how everyone sort of just ignores them quickly after.

What's the point of bringing up an argument you're not going to address writer? It doesn't sate the matter it inflates and then deflates it. You can't have your cake and eat it, you can't make World War Hulk a big deal at the time and everyone just shrugs 5 minutes later. Vice versa don't have characters hold a grudge against the unpopular cast but the people with sales get off Mister Miracle. It just introduces a 4th Wall Force that dilutes any meaning to anything said or done. You may as well replace arguments with variants of "I'm popular. You're not" since that's what it comes down to.

Children's Crusade really shat on two X-characters, Cyclops and Wolverine (who spends the whole event not only trying to murder Wanda, but Billy/Wiccan as well, and is called out by fucking Wonder Man as a terrible Avenger).

On the other hand the X-books shat on Wanda for years by constantly adding new crimes to her record (House of M didn't suggest she killed anybody). Gotta shit on somebody, is the lesson.
>>
>>83518193
that's the funny thing about Marvel not having villains. They always end up having to make their heroes into irredeemable shitheads.
>>
>>83514291
Wiccan's argument is such BS. The only person with actions of even remotely comparable scale to Wanda's are Magneto's and most people still treat him like he's a piece of shit villain but he's powerful so they're willing to work with him if it suits their needs. Wanda, in a fit of pique committed quasi-genocide on the mutant race. Cyclops is right to say that she needs to answer for her crimes.

What's hilarious is that when a similar event happens (Dark Phoenix Cyclops) everyone keeps shitting on him but he owns it and does exactly what he tells Wanda to do her, live each day trying to make it right knowing it will never be enough.
>>
>>83519218
His argument is basically that every single character has turned evil at some point so they shouldn't treat Wanda like she's somehow worse than them.

It's a bit of a leaning-on-the-fourth-wall argument that comes close to acknowledging that she was written out of character.

I remember when he heard his ex had came back from life, never touched her, got caught up in X-Force and by the time he made it back to them Maddie was already gone.

I also remember Scott seing baby Nathan before going off to a mission with X-Factor.

However I do remember the time (all the times, actually) where perfect Jean made out or lusted over Wolverine and no one said anything about it. Or the time Cyke was psychically raped by his therapist and everyone blamed him like he was physically cheated on Jean. THEN he was mentally forced by his dead wife into a relationship with his rapist.

Remember that one?

Early X-Factor was a lesson in why fanboy nostalgia can be evil.

The writers wanted everything just as it was in the Silver Age no matter what had happened to the characters in the last 11 years, so Jean loses her telepathy, Beast looks normal again and Jean-Scott sexual tension is back, forget about the wife and son.

Wow. I think Cyclops just became my favorite X-Man out of spite.
>>
>>83527085
Old Cyclops was just a good guy, following the rules and trying to do right. He was a natural-born leader. Over time, he became jaded and became New Cyclops. While still a leader, he is angry all the time and keeps trying to force the world to listen to the plight of the mutants (very much like Magneto).

why are you so autistic about falcap? he's a more worthy legacy than bucky. he was actually cap's partner longer than buck who was dead for the vast majority of marvel continuity.

i bet you would have been buttannihilated back when james rhodes took over the iron man name and armor.

This, so much fucking THIS.
One of these days they'll do a story for each and every major X-Man about how Xavier brainraped them over and rewrote who they are as people.
He abuses his powers almost everytime he is seen using them.
Remember that Uncanny X-Men story: The Omega Mutant? Remember how that ended with both Eva Bell timetravel power abuse and Past Chuck Xavier mindraping power abuse?
Well, right in the scenes where they were planning this wrongness Xavier admits to having Brainraped someone too far, I saw that line and instantly though of Straightlace Choirboy Summers and his lifelong blind obedience.
Mark my words. Cyclops was probably some F-bomb-dropping criminal delinquent when Chuck got hold of him.

The problem with Cyclops is that several really terrible arcs have made him do things that aren't even really for the best, he just says they are for the best. That would be fine in the context of parenting a team, but it's less fine when it involves suddenly joining a terrorist faction.

I don't actually hate Cyclops, I don't think he's UNCOOL or ALWAYS WRONG, but in the timeframe where a lot of casual or in-and-out capefans have only really heard stuff like 'he's a party-pooper' placed alongside shit like, well, being written into joining fucking terrorists. That isn't to say he's not allowed to do bad or potentially immoral shit. Tons of other people have pointed out, rightly so, that Xavier did heinous garbage all the time for the 'greater good' of Mutantkind. But there are fundamental differences in scale and perception of doing a mind-wipe versus at points literally becoming the antagonist. One is the act of an adult who's calculating and trying to do the right thing. The other is the act of an extremist, an unstable teenager or a very, very emotionally stunted person who hasn't become fully Human yet. The cast is already choc-full of characters who don't fit in, who have to develop in a world that hates him. Traditionally Cyclops has supposed to been the anchor, the institutional knowledge that allows the young'ns to fuck up from time to time and get out alive.

Put simply, they tried to forcibly make people like Cyclops, because people kept moaning about Cyclops, and now everyone hates Cyclops.

It's actually canon (or it was before the big retcon) that he used his telepathy on himself to make himself a better person.
Can you imagine the level of self-delusion and self-deception he is capable of whenever he justified anything he did?
It's almost worse than him being an outright villian because it's not just him erasing his own guilt, it's him being a villian and then when it suits him he turns into a legitimate hero who isn't guilty of that crime.

I don't see it that way, to me he's like the overprotective parent who's being blamed for the divorce because the kids resent having always had to brush their teeth before bedtime. Then comes the next inevitable nervous beakdown and horrible mistake and the kids grasp onto that as justification for piling on the recriminations.
(that's the in-universe rational)
As for how the writers have treated him, he's not perfect, he's only human(-ish) so now he's finally cracking under all that Scott Summers' characteristic repression of emotion.
That's not hating the character, that's fleshing out Mr.Perfect X-Man as more complicated than just being the personality plot armor.

Well think about it, it's the classic hypocrisy: He's such a good person who has always done so much good that certainly all those good deeds will balance out this one little evil thing he wants to do this one time...
IRL people just tell themselves lies about their personal history but Chucky X there has actually figured out how to be a guilt-free good person who as far as he knows hasn't done anything unforgivable before.
So the end result is that he never learns from personal experience how wrong it is to make those bad calls, and so he can make them over and over again when anyone else would know better. The obvious exception being Tony Stark.

Just to pull this back onto Cyke-topic,
Cyclops tried to justify the same damned thing during an extinction level crisis in the Schism storyline and half the X-Men thought he was a monster for it.
He even pointed out that Xavier had done the same thing and I guess because Cyclops doesn't have telepathic influence powers Wolverine just wouldn't listen.
But of course Xavier remained above reproach dring that debate.

It was more nuanced at the time than how people remember it.

He just heard Jean was alive and wanted to go SEE her because, y'know, who wouldn't, and Maddy gave him one of those jealous-bitchfit "if you walk out that door, don't bother coming back" ultimatums FOR NO RAISIN.

It's not like he ever said "I'm dumping you, I immediately have a date lined up", he wanted to fucking pay a visit because holy shit, person-who-was-important-to-me resurrected from the fucking grave.

That might have been the Rightclops reason, but people don't look at him and see the Right that's always inside him, they look at him and see a man. A man with a typical man's less-than-Right motivations.
Look at this pic: >>83534272 , the next images are of Rightclops turning down sex-fantasy-in-the-flesh JailbaitJean, who is his eternal one true love, and practically throwing herself at him there.
He turned that down.
Can you imagine any normal man who is not possessed by the awesome power of Right ever doing that?
That's where 90% of these "Scott being Scott" misunderstandings come from. No wonder Wolverine can never relate to him: Logan would've hit that.

Everyone one of my friends think Cyclops is a tool but he is by far my favorite. His character went from "team leader yes man" to "magneto tier savior of mutants". Before he was willing to die for the cause now he is willing to kill for it. He has done alot of wrong in the past, like abandoning his family and killing his mentor father figure but he is somehow always in the right. Cyclops was right.

Okay, you say that but what if his "Mutant Revolution" wasn't a million-mutant march on Washington?
What if he had embraced the Magneto method and singlehandedly killed everyone on a nuclear submarine?
Or worse: the Xorn-Magneto method and singlehandedly conquered an entire city?
He was making a big threat when he said that, that's what gave him the mutant terrorist brand, so what if he had actually become a mutant terrorist in more than name?

It's not as if we can all gripe and whine like some "Whor" troller that there wasn't any foreshadowing, or that it was an inconceivable turn for the character.
He's been having a mental breakdown for years now.

I don't really understand the hate for Cyke. He was always the cool authority character. If anything, Warren has consistently been the most boring one of the O5.

yes

Black Bolt initiated a race war with his bioweapon, and the inhumans refuse to just burn the mist roaming the world because 'it's sacred'.

that warrants a retaliation to deter others from assuming they can just kill mutants willy nilly and get away with it.

and I say this as someone who actually likes the inhumans and also considers black bolt justified in detonating the terrigen bomb.
