    Cyclops fans Rejoice. It took a decade and some change but our boy is finally getting some of the respect and acknowledgement he deserves.
  • X men 97 really is introducing new people to why cyclops is cool instead of the massive damage the fox movies did
  • @mudshrooze
    When I was in middle school I tried to convince friends how cool Cyclops was and how the live action movies and even many of the cartoons were treating him like a grumpy loser. He was so awfully written for so long people forgot who he was even thecomics. But Cyclops is amazingly smart, kind, and brave leader. Who wears his heart on his sleeve. Not to mention he is born in Anchorage Alaska. As I was. And my siblings
  • @dkvitaleme
    X men 97 understands Scott Summers and man that premiere was incredible. Cyclops the leader of the X Men
  • @GUNDAMSTARX
    It feels so surreal seeing so many people realize how good of a character this is. This is so awesome
  • @Aureilius2112
    When it comes to leadership, even Storm would defer to Cyclops judgement before her own. If Storm was his superior, it would go the other way around. But she knows there is no better tactical leader than Cyclops.
  • The beautiful thing that Scott does is he makes tough calls, calls no one else dares to make and he takes responsibility for them, not whining but moving forward. He is the perfect PROTAGONIST [UPDATED], not defined by the narrative but Defining where every story he is involved in goes. This is the leadership quality that is often overlooked. Quite simply, he gets shit done.
  • @ChaosIadore
    Correction, Scott never ordered the X-Men to track and kill cable. He ordered Cable and the X Factor to do what ever it takes to save Hope. Bishop was tracking Cable and Hope to kill them but on his own accord.
  • @Longshot441
    Cyclops became the perfect blend of both Xavier and Magnetto. Believes their could be peace but not dumb enough to not prep for the violence to come. It's also a shame we'll never get the true Cyclops to the main screen. As I don't trust the writing and directtion now a days.
  • Xmen evolution and the 90s Xmen are my favorite versions of Cyclops. And when he’s not obsessing over Jean, I do have a level of respect for the man
  • @lancefullmer9384
    Cyclops has legit been my favorite X man for fucking years and im really glad to see in recent years how much the way people see him at large has shifted towards the positive in recent years
  • @WyattDucar
    I really love the resurgence of the importance of Cyclops. It is easy to think that Wolverine As the main character due to Hugh Jackman’s performance as the character in the Fox films. Cyclops was the first member of the team and THE leader of X-Men. So if the MCU wants to bring the X-Men, they should do Cyclops first and then introduce Wolverine in a later time!
  • @thatonkgau5221
    Scott Summers isn't just the most underrated of the X men but the most underrated character in marvel. He's such a fascinating tortured character, the perfect mix between batman/captian America and Professor X/Magneto. The devoted soldier loyal to Xaviers dream, the fierce warrior who will go by whatever means to fulfill his mission and protect his people and brilliant tactician with plans on top of plans. He's been through hell with the loss of his mother, separation from his father and brother, the abuse by Mr Sinister and the pressures and abuse of Xavier. Scott had to try to live up to Xavier's ideals and be his perfect little soldier, his"Golden boy" while at the same time fighting a brutale war against people who hate and want to kill his kind. He had to be a pacifist and soldier at the same time, he's incredibly fascinating and complex and i wish the movies and tv shows would stop doing so dirty.
  • @milkiassamuel780
    Cyclops much like Superman has always been characterized in recent media as the dull, boring boyscout of the group however Cyclops is one of the most interesting characters in X-Men and such a great leader that media likes to make you believe he's boring. Some of my favourite takes on Scott Summers has to be from X-Men Evolution and coincidentally the recently released X-Men 97 and X-Men Animated Series that truly took the time to flesh out Scott showing how fascinating, cool and layered he is as a person that believes in Charles vision no matter what.
  • @Nyzahnewton
    I'm stoked that Cyclops is finally getting the recognition he deserves! When creating a character for my novel, I took some inspiration from him because I was infatuated with the idea of a young person with big responsibilities who ends up struggling with their identity later on. I feel like we barely see that in stories today
  • I honestly think that the early 2000s was a massive time for grungy broody bad boy heroes, so they made Wolverine the star of the show, and made Cyclops an unlikeable foil to Logan, the authoritative military man that was despised in the genre. Now i get that the third film was more because of him being in Superman retuns, but no excuses for the first two. One thing i would want in an X men reboot is cyclops done justice
  • THANK YOU!!! I get so tired of telling people he's not the lame guy or a "cop". He really is a great character.
