10 Reasons The X-Men Films Should Completely Reboot

3. Great X-Men Are Being Ignored

X-Men - Cyclops If they love Wolverine, they hate Cyclops. This guy is supposed to be the leader of your group, but all he€™s ever done is shoot a few optic blasts and pine over Jean while she tries not to flirt with Logan. Cyclops in the movies is not fit to lead a Boy Scout troop through a hike in a large backyard. It€™s unfair and an insult to the fans to treat him as such a secondary character. If people were upset when Hawkeye got mind controlled early in the Avengers, then how is it okay that Cyclops was mind controlled for all of X2, and killed early in The Last Stand? He has a lot of abilities, a good back story, and always rises to the pressure, but the writers keep treating him like he€™s only the sum of his powers. And he€™s only the biggest example on a long list of other characters that got a raw deal. Instead of a ruthless assassin with a personal vendetta, Lady Deathstrike was an adamantium laced stand in. Instead of Professor X€™s abused stepbrother, Juggernaut was a walking joke. Instead of a cosmically powerful world eating entity, Dark Phoenix was just on her period.
