I'm an enormous Cyclops fan. I love the character, in all his forms, and I absolutely love James Marsden's portrayal of him in the movies.
People, face reality for a minute. The "Cyclops we deserve" resides in the X-Men comic books. And two animated series. He has not shown up in the movies, though glimpses of him have definitely been seen here and there. It appears Cyclops will indeed perish in X3 after some strong scenes.
If you're smart, or mature, you'll begin the process of getting over it and manage to enjoy what promises to be an interesting movie. If not, you can be miserable: your choice. You ask, if I love Cyclops so much, why am I not angry at his death? Because I love the concept of the X-Men. And the movie features: Xavier, Wolverine, Storm, Beast, Angel, Colossus, Iceman, Rogue, Kitty Pryde, Magneto, Phoenix, Mystique, Juggernaut, Callisto, Pyro, Multiple Man...etc.
Pretty sure she is "life incarnate". Not death. At least she was originally.
And letting herself be killed by a friend isn't heroic?
Uh, maybe she LETS him kill her because he reaches her humanity. Duh.
You need to watch X2 again. Wolverine had a lot more time than Jean did.
Actually, it's not. Ten bucks Magneto gets more story impact than Wolverine does. Wolverine "saves the day" in X3, by all accounts. But Storm "saved the day" in X2. Was X2 a Storm film?
Yeah. I believe that. Regardless, that is not what's been said by reviewers. We know she kills several people, and takes the military apart.
The McKellan thing is a rumor that was later proven to be false.
Because she obviously doesn't truly want him dead.
Put your talent where your mouth is. Let's see this script. You have...say...three months. Hell, let's see a SCENE from it.
Shh...
Cyclops as one of the Horsemen? That wouldn't be interesting.
I can't wait to see WOLVERINE spinoff.
