Why I think Cyclops is still alive

[comicgirl]

He wasnt wearing his glasses when he he kissed Jean, nice try though

Nice CSI move!!

 

[WTFimVENOM]

They didn't show him dieing because they wanted to leave the posibility of his return in a future X-movie

 

[tenkerbelle]

he's still alive they even filmed two scenes for the ending with him to show it.

Other endings!?!?!

 

[WTFimVENOM]

Other endings!?!?!

Actually they were never comfirmed

 

[WorthyStevens]

Patrick Stewart confirmed different endings...

 

[sparky_parker]

I think he is alive

 

[Dragon]

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.

 

[Lord Blackbolt]

The point is that the one death that was handled well and impacted the characters ended up being completely negated by the end of the movie.

I actually didn't mind that. Professor X has "died" and been brought back like a dozen times in the comics. lol

As for Cyclops, I definitely think he's dead. BUTTTTTTT..... If they wanted to they could easily have him return. But I doubt they will. Easy way of having him return. Moments after Jeans death, she willed him back to life with her last bits of power. Cause...if she can demolecularize people...why can't she remolecularize them?

Also...if there's a sequel and not have Scott return, I'd love to at least have Havok join the team. Say he's Scott's brother and he came to join the X-men to honor his brother.

 

[SickBoy]

I doubt they will bring him back if they make an X4, he is dead as far as possible future movies go. But by not showing his death, there is the possibility that he could be brought back.

However, I think they just want cyclops fans to think that he could still be alive somewhere, so that they are not completely disappointed.

 

[Super Flight]

If james is in superman returns, then cyclopse is dead for sure

 

[The Batman]

come on folks, if they wanted him truly dead, they'd SHOW him get killed, just like in earlier drafts.

The writers did this so cyke fans wont be completely pissed off. that, and the fact that marsden would do as many xflicks as possible, leads me to believe he'll be back.

I'm still very pissed off.

But I'm just glad he didn't die.

 

[The Batman]

exactly. Not to mention that Brett alluded to the fact that he could come back, and kinberg said all fates arent what they appear. So please, stop acting as if scotts death is concrete fact. it sure as hell aint.

Contrary to popular belief, just because you don't see a body doesn't always mean they're still alive.

The reason they didn't show him get killed is because it would have ruined the emotional impact of seeing Xavier disintegrate. If we would have already seen Jean destroy someone, Xavier's death wouldn't have been so sudden, and all that talk at the mansion about what happened to Scott would have been pointless.

 

[The Batman]

And yet, we have ratner and the writers saying its possible he'll come back in X4.

nice try, though. Penn and Kinberg, knowing the fan backlash, made it possible that scotts death was ambigious.

Assuming he dies that way can still save the emotional impact of seeing Xavier disintegrate.

So, you mean he's walking around the planet with his eyes closed?

Come on, he didn't even have a proper introduction in the first movie, no purpose in the second. Do we really need him to survive?

It's possible.

 

[The Batman]

And plus....he's the first x-man. The true heir to the continuation of Xavier's dream, and one of the most rewcognizable x-men. That, and the pissed off cyke fanboys, is reason enough to see him in X4, plain and simple.

But we don't assume. We have no conculsive evidence of how Jean kills people until she leaves the medical room by destroying the door, which is after she talks to Wolverine about killing Scott. Or didn't you hear her say, "Kill me before I kill someone else."

It's possible for her to think she killed him, but didn't.

Who knows what's really going on in her mind.

 

[The Batman]

Or she thinks she killed scott. We never see her actually kill the guy. The only word we have is that of a schizo chick.

Until i see scott turn to dust, he could still be alive. end of story.

 

[The Batman]

and if she did kill scott, why didnt we see that when she was remembering what happened at the lake?

Just because fanboys want it to be like the comics where mutants never die, doesn't mean it should be that way on screen. You're right, Jean and Scott were the first, so it's actually fitting that they are dead. Storm inherits the school as is discussed in the hallway with Xavier. The next trilogy, if there is one, therefore isn't constrained by anything in the first trilogy.

 

[Xofenroht]

Didn't Scott walk around with his eyes closed for some time in the comics? I remember him being in the desert and taking out some Acolytes.
