my fav thing is when uncanon polycyles randomly have one canon drawing where theyre all CLEARLY shagging
Cyclops seems like a good name for Scott, on the surface.
He tends to his flock of people in his care, lashes out against outsiders who threaten them, and that whole one-eye thing with his uniform. And yet, if you read the Odyssey- the story which features a cyclops the most- the cyclops is injured. He loses control of his greatest strength and would require great help to even grasp at that again. And when he cries out to the other cyclopes who scorn him, he is shunned for being injured and tricked, and is left to fend for himself. Even with only the eye being struck, there would’ve likely been at least a little bit of brain damage. And after the plane crash, Scott was basically left blind, burdened with having to cover his eyes so his mutation wouldn’t hurt others as migraines ravaged his senses. And he lost his brother as well, not for scorn, but simply because he was undesirable to potential adoptees. And here Xavier comes along, injured like Scott. He promises Scott a home and a way to improve- which, to his credit, he did. And in exchange, he made Scott a child soldier, his prototype, his test. A test to see whether or not he could take these children and make them into war. And Scott, poor, injured, love-starved Scott, went along with it because Xavier showed him the smallest bit of consideration. He believed that Xavier truly wanted the best for him and to help, and in return he was made into a soldier and named something that reminded him of the very accident that started him on this trail.
He is close to Jean because she can enter his mind and understand, and he is close to Logan because he has been through the same.
The Ballad of Jean Grey.
In the little bit of the comics I’ve read and some of the animated series? I’m a diehard Scott/logan/jean fan. I am of the opinion that almost every love triangle should just be solved by a throuple.
However.
In the movies??
Both Logan and Scott deserve better than Jean
She leads Logan on and actively flirts back with him, despite the fact that she has NO intention of breaking up with Scott?? (“Girls flirt with the dangerous guy, Logan. They don’t take him home.”) Like yeah Logan shouldn’t have been flirting with a taken woman, but she wasn’t doing much to genuinely discourage it. Bobby even points out that there’s something between them in X2, so it’s clearly not one-sided, yet she still stays with Scott. Like girl pick one, you cant be monogamously in love with your long-term boyfriend while also flirting with a guy he hates. That’s just X2, don’t even get me started on what she does in last stand.
In conclusion, I am a X men original trilogy Certified Jean Grey Hater thank you for coming to my Ted talk
