I thought his Cyclops was pretty forgettable


Then again, so was most of the new cast. I found myself uninvested in was they were doing or what was happening to them.

I'm not gonna fight you that hard, but you're wrong.

A novel idea. A half-@ssed fight. Sounds like fun. You... jerk! Try that one out for size!

Ok, if that's how you're playing it. I really didn't like James Marsden as Cyclops (I blame the writing and director) because he only acted like a jerk. Now, Cyclops can be a jerk sometimes, but there is a LOT more to him than that. I have said this on multiple boards, but my definitive Cyclops moment is during the Dark Phoenix Saga when he has a thought bubble saying that if he doesn't stay strong, he'll shatter. Tye Sheridan did a good job of showing that emotional relatability that drew me to Scott Summers in the first place.

Has it really come down to this?
