Jack O' Lantern

I think the BEST part of the new series has been how much love my favorite character has been given. Cyclops has been handled beautifully here, really showing the world why he's the leader. The writing shows the team truly understands Scott and this is EASILY the best version of him outside of the comics. (I know, it's a low bar). 😎

@jacklaridian I do think they've done a really good job threading the needle and keeping him true to the kind-of-terrible version from the original TV series while putting some effort into showing him be competent and badass instead of just whining "But Professor!" all the time. He's still not a fun guy to hang out with, but you get a clearer idea of why he is the way he is.

More than anybody else, this is his life.

The comics haven't always done him right, but of the original team he was the standard tormented Marvel hero. He's Peter Parker without the wisecracks. While Hank, Warren, and Bobby are fucking around and Jean's barely a character, Slim's the one who's carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. He understands the stakes and feels their gravity in a way nobody else does. And also he could kill somebody literally by looking at them the wrong way.
