I really do need to write down my "why Cyclops is a dickhead and sends Jaina into fits of rage" rant.

Hee hee! I remember that cover! And yeah, Cyclops is a dickhead.

Amen.

We're going to play a game of Superheros where the characters are the children of superheros. Before I decided to create the gay couple of IceMan and the Human Torch and their adopted daughter, I was going to do Jean Gray/Wolverine to write the story the way it should have been.

I annoyed my husband to no end :)

That's adorable XD I also like Jean with Gambit--I know, it sounds nutty, but it's based on a really awesome fic series. But Gambit or Wolvie would BOTH be better. I hate that they made Cyclops That Guy.

Is there anyone who actually likes that tool?

My rant would just read 'duh.'

I used to. He used to be one of those "still waters run deep" kinda guys. I loved him when no one else did! I feel so used.

He didn't used to be one!

[identity profile] mistressrenet.livejournal.com 2005-10-10 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Suuuuure he didn't. What, for ten minutes in 1988?

Being a stick in the mud ain't the same as being a dick.

Remember Madalyn Pryor?

Heh, yes. He did some dicky things back then, but to be fair, she wasn't exactly blameless. She was already manipulating him telepathically before he left her. (Not that that's an excuse--I don't think she made him be an ass or anything.) He also copped to said dickish things and remained a non-dick for quite some time thereafter.

That's a lot of dicks.

That whole situation was a clusterfuck of asshole, yes. But still.

[identity profile] jaina.livejournal.com 2005-10-10 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, still, but it's a totally different brand of dick than what he is now. At least back then he didn't try to make excuses for his behavior or blame it on Madelyne.

Fair enough. I'm sort of glad I'm not reading any X-comics.

[identity profile] jaina.livejournal.com 2005-10-12 01:44 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not either for the most part. Astonishing X-Men (on hold now but slated to return) was actually quite good, despite Cyclops' presence. The rest I'm still meh on.
