I'm not saying that he's magically healed of his injuries, and then he goes into battle.
I'm saying he goes into battle despite it. Despite the emotional wreck he is in, after watching the woman he loves die, resurrect, become corrupted, and become his enemy. Despite the physical state he'd be in from the blast he would have taken at the hand of said woman. Despite all that, it would show just how devoted he is. And just how strong he is. That he refuses to give up on Jean Grey, even when everyone thinks the only solution left is to destroy her. He will still go out and fight with all that he's got to bring her back.
With all the *****ing people have made about how lame Cyclops is in the movies (and that is a statement I disagree with 100%), don't you think that this would be the payoff? His determination to fight for Xavier's dream, his determination to fight for the love of his life, no matter the cost?
I dunno about you, but if I were a Cyclops fan (and I am, he's just not quite my favorite character, but he's up there), and that's what his role was in this movie, the final movie of the trilogy, the overall climax to the saga, I'd be pretty damned ****ing satisfied. I'd be more than satisfied. I'd walk out of the theatre thinking "Holy ****, they really did a good job with Cyclops!"
alright ill entertain the idea of cyclops living for the final act and that this whole AICN was for nothing. I think we can all pretty much agree that cyclops will get the same if not (probably) less time than he did in x2. (especailly due to his scheduling and the fact that x3 is much shorter than x2 and it has even more characters)
ok with that said: id still feel cheated, not mostly for the fact of screen time because there are other characters but we dont see him lead or do anything (except with jean). in x1, they did a decent job in retrospect, cyclops was not a major player but he was there you know. with a movie that deals with phoenix, there should be no question about cyclops taking a prominent role, but look where we are .. debating if he gets to live or not, goes into the final battle etc. its' really kind of sad. for an original character of the x-men, who's been there since the first movie, to have him shelved in x2 and with his most prominent storyline in x3, also being pushed off to the side .. thats not right and i think thats y many people have been so vocal about his "Death".
i am not saying that your arguments pointing to his "non-death" aren't valid but i feel the evidence pointing to his death weighs, more given everything going onaround his character. so i hope you are right, but like i said before im not expecting much.
i will say that at least going into this forum and seeing this many cyclops fans has made me feel better. i've always been a cyke fan since the cartoons on fox and believe me i was hte only one in school who felt that way and it was hard to find fellow cyclops fans .. so thank you all. when we get screwed next month, at least we could turn to each other for support hehehe.
