Why I think Cyclops is still alive

[chaseter]

Jean could have zapped him into the Astral plane...no one knows??? We didn't see him physically die so there is always that ambiguity to bring him back next time.

Very unlikely in regards to using too much power... what I saw was a glimpse of her power but at the same time, Scott realized something was up and thats when he opened his eyes and then cut... but again, his powers might have kicked back in and he tried to stop her... he could been sent flying back into the woods somewhere by the blast kinda like in X2...well both were sent back, hence Jean lying on the ground unconcious.

again...we don't know for sure.

I like that idea DOD! While DP was trying to demolecularize Cyclops she lost control of his eye beams and when they came blasting back at her she deflected them like in X2 but b/c she tried to control them the beams that came out were far more powerful and she tries to caccoon herself again but it explodes like the one she made in the lake and sends Cyclops flying into the woods and he wakes up with amnesia and as a result doesn't know who he his or where he came from.

Another thing is why was there so much mist and dust at Alkali Lake and why were there floating objects when Cyclops died/disappeared/demolecularized but there was none in the aftermath of her killing Prof X and none in the final battle! Either something far greater happened there or Ratner forgot/was too lazy to put it in the other scenes(or it might've been cut/rejected)!

I know I may sound like I'm clutching at straws but thats all I can do right now!

This theory is probably flawed, I'm just basing this off memory from seeing it for the first time yesterday, so correct me if I'm wrong on anything. Well basically I think Cyclops is still alive because when Jean killed people in the movie, they kinda just blew up and dissapeared but Logan found Cyclop's glasses in one piece, how come those glasses didn't blow up into pieces? So I'm assuming Cyclops is still alive but hes hurt or something. Plus they didn't really show him getting blown up, right?

The fact that Jean later shattered the glasses when thinking about what happened to Cyclops was pretty symbolic of the fact that she shattered him too in my opinion. Jean saying she killed him, and the Professor sensing his death too.

Cyclops is deader than the dodo.

Well what i wanna know from Zak is this: Since we Didn't see Scott's death onscreen, is he really dead?!? Are we made to think he's dead?

 

[DRob]

Nothing to worry about

U know what's funny about off-screen deaths, they're off-screen for crying out loud! Everything about it is implied, now in the case of Cyclops's fate is the only sure thing that the audience knows is that wherever he is Cyke dosen't have his shades. Beacause simple logic would mean that if the audience would be able to see Phoenix literally dissolve/erode dozens of people even Prof X, so why wouldn't the filmmakers show his, "implied death" since he plays such a small, although yet vital role?



Just a small theory, but when storm and logan find jean she's unconsoius so maybe scott is too.
P.S. Wouldn't it be kickass if Sinister found Scott and held him hostage, and created a clone of Jean Grey, hmm lets call her Madeline and she comes back and takes her own revenge on the X-Men. Doesn't that sound familar? It would make a nice X4, but at the moment it sounds like a pipedream.

 

[crappymovie]

He's alive.

Agreed. Alhough it would officially mean most plot points in the film were completely reversed. But like someone said, this film acted as a good bookend movie....no impact on the franchise, just waiting for a new director to finish off the stories.

 

[DRob]

If they were definately going to make an x4, at least then us Cyclops fans would have something to be optomistic about.

Zak has addressed this issue.

He said when they wrote Scott's death it was not meant to be open-ended or ambiguous.

The fact that they cut away before seeing him die COULD be the studio/producer's way of leaving it open to bring him back.

BTW, by all accounts everybody loves Jimmy, enough for WB and FOX to work out the schedule to have him two both movies. So maybe FOX just wanted to punish him in this film, but not remove the character from the franchise all together.

Either way, we didn't see him die, so I believe that there is hope, with the right story and writer to bring him back.

By the way, I believe Cerebro is disabled ever since Stryker took that piece of it in X2. Xavier wouldn't be able to sense Scott so far away. He only sensed Jean because of the level of her psychic energy.

Punish him ??? Well, since I read about his " death ", I thought about it... what Fox win with they punish him ??? I think that everyone on X - Men ( I mean, the actors... ) would be against it... and he wouldn't want to do it...

No matter. They are still contractually obligated to do the movie, despite them being against some things or not.

I just think it looks bad that the studio told the writers coming into it that Cyclops was NOT going to be in it. And the writers had to fight to give him two scenes!

I'm just glad that they did cut away. His disappearance could work as a great set-up for a new story arc.

Fox, as a whole, is a jackass.

Telling the writers Cyclops won't be in the movie, cutting Angel out of the final battle, and so on...

Here at SHH they killed my old screenname, that I use on other boards since ages. I had to re-register.
Be careful with that huge cock there!

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

Good God...WTH... you be careful

 

[Spare-Flair]

All of Jean's "killings" can be explained away in the sense that she could merely have done what the teleporters do in Star Trek- just broken her victims down and reformed them unharmed in some type of limbo. The good side of Jean preventing the Phoenix from actually disintegrating them.

Whoa, just had a wierd flashblack to Famke appearing with Patrick Stewart 15 years ago in Star Trek.

 

[Johnny Drama]

I think it is cute how people make up scenarios just for the sake of holding on to hope that the piece of $hit that is "X3" is only the beginnig of something better as opposed to the the terrible end to what could have been a fantastic trilogy.
Is he dead? Is he alive? Who cares? He was not in X3 and that is what we HAVE. X4 is not going to be made, at least not for a good 5 or 6 years maybe. So drop it. Let it.

Random hype poster: Aha! But you actually never see him die!

Gerard Way: Grrr!
