  • X-Men Evolution as most of you know is my personal favorite adaptation of the X-Men (97 is better but Nostalgia has me in a chokehold) and it does a far better job of understanding Scott Summers than the movies ever did. For that reason I fell this show did him justice by truly making him the leader of the team and showcasing him as a character not just a foil to Logan.

    Honestly, X-Men: Evolution is the only series where the X-Men genuinely felt like a family. It feels like it took the best aspects of the movies (such as Xavier being warmer and gentler than he was in the comics, the Xavier Institute being an actual school with students, Mystique having a connection to Magneto, Cerebro having a more sci-fi look etc) and mixed it with the comic lore.
    It's a real shame Teen Titans poached the ratings which led to Evo being cancelled. They had so much planned. They were going to adapt the Dark Phoenix Saga next. And after that they were going to delve into the origin of mutants and possibly introduce the Eternals and end the series with a wedding (they hadn't decided whether it would be between Rogue and Cyclops (they were going to kill off Jean at the end of the Phoenix arc) or Nightcrawler and Amanda).

    Before X-Men 97 gave us possibly the greatest adaptation of Scott Summers showed audiences how much of badass he truly is, X-Men Evolution was my personal favourite X-Men show and their take on Scott/Cyclops was my favourite as they did an excellent job depicting Scott as a big brother and good leader to the team that knows when to mature and step up in serious situations, but he is still a young man and isn't a buzzkill and knows how to have fun and be charismatic. His chemistry with Jean and the way they naturally built up their relationship to feel organic. I also really appreciate how this show didn't choose to make Wolverine and Cyclops rivals, if anything Wolverine acts more like a begrudgingly frustrated mentor for Scott and the other X-Men, and even gives Scott advice sometimes despite not agreeing with everything yet you can feel how much Logan respects Scott as a young man. Kirby Morrow truly does a great job and I sincerely miss him as I loved his performance in this show as Scott and his others voice work in shows like Lego Ninjago as Cole (one of my all time favourite childhood shows)

    I disagree that Cyclops was a static character. He started off as a sensitive loner who grew into a more level-headed person after suddenly being thrust into the role of a leader. We can see how much he has grown as a character in season 3 where the X-Men are chased by the authorities and Wolverine urges the team to attack them, but Cyclops has learned to think outside the box and refuses to attack, knowing that it would only provoke more anti-mutant sentiments and therefore orders his team to only use their powers to defend themselves. Season 1 Cyclops may have been compassionate, but he was also impulsive. Season 3 Cyclops has conquered that character flaw.
    The only static character in this series was Storm, who only had one episode centered around her.

There is no heat generated so there shouldn't be any fire nor embers/ashes created as a result from his power. X-Men 97 did a good job showing that since he used his beams to navigate the scene and also to safely descent his fall onto the desert sand using his beams only creating a crater vs Storm who turned the sand into glass when she struck the sand with her lightning.

      Let’s say the floor was made of steel. If a cyclops was fighting, let’s say Wolverine, Cyclops would run straight at Wolverine, making the latter believe that Cyclops was going for a straight up charge attack but as cyclops is running towards him, he performs a jump and at that split second after he jumps, he fires a short but powerful optic blast on the ground that propelled him higher in the air, catching Wolverine off guard. See how the environment plays a huge part in usage of his powers? This jump was only possible because the ground was made of steel allowing the optic blast to lean against it. Such a jump would be impossible if used in a forest because the forest’s ground is made entirely of soil, of earth. The best such a blast can do in a forest is create a tunnel to travel underground.

Dude didn’t go evil, he just escaped prison and made a team that was going to be more proactive in defense and offensive defense of mutant kind ( in a time where new mutants were being killed). Almost every issue in AvX was the Avengers fault. He was in prison because he killed Charles while under the influence of the full force of the Phoenix (against his will), which never would’ve happened if they didn’t stop the Phoenix Five who were helping world with their powers, which never would’ve happened if Tony didn’t break up the Phoenix force in the first place that entered those five mutants (against their will), that never would’ve happened if the Avengers didn’t distrust the X-Men/Cyclops when he knew the Phoenix force reaching Hope Summers would be a good thing for mutant kind. And it ended up happening anyway, and turned out to revitalize the mutant population like Cyc knew it would. Hence “Cyclops Was Right”. Avengers never inserted themselves into mutant issues before, and one of the only times they do, it’s to get in the way of something good for their people. Cyc didn’t go evil. If we’re talking about a different time, hell, I don’t know it.

    It's more like X-Men Evolution focused on characters other than Wolverine (much like how X-Men 97 is currently doing) & non-comic book readers are finally seeing how interesting everyone else can be (when given the spotlight). What makes the X-Men interesting is that they're a "family" & how they interact w/ not only a world that hates & fears them, but also how they engage w/ their fellow mutants (on a human level, showing that they're not that much different than their fellow man). X-Men Evo just did a better job of showing the "mutant student" aspect of the X-Men, which has always been a central theme of the IP (which was kinda lost in other iterations). While XTAS will always be superior to me (since it's more faithful to the comics), Evo at least introduced one of my fav new characters (X-23). Hopefully the MCU will do the X-Men justice & they'll reclaim their 90s popularity (or hopefully eclipse it) & it'll spin off to other media (i.e. video games, tv shows, merch, etc.).

I don't know why I can see Kurt & Todd being bffs because they have some things in common. Hell, I can also see Todd & Scott becoming friends as well despite them being on opposite sides. I remember Magneto telling Xaxier that he doesn't trust the X-Men with the truth & we're left to wonder what is Xavier hiding?

    X-Men TAS Cyclops: Cold leader who rarely shows warmth and gets defensive over Jean
    Wolverine and the X-Men: Overly dependent jealous boyfriend who has no life outside Jean and will endanger civilians just because. Also shown to be a not very good leader in flashbacks
    Modern Comic Cyclops: Terrorist and Philanderer who will murder people to get what he wants and will cheat on his wife to the point his own daughter renounces him
    Fox X-Men Cyclops: Barely any screentime, but what he has is just about him and Jean or the atrocity that is Last Stand
    Evolution's competition is pretty weak to be a personal favorite, 97 is the only other good adaption of Cyclops tbh. Pryde of the X-Men Cyclops is cool too Ig.

    Great video, and I loved Evolution so hoping for more… Please though, check the levels … clip audio was really loud compared to you, which meant either a hard time hearing you or getting absolutely blasted every time you played a clip. 😬 Still, very much agree that Scott is very well represented in this series and I wish it hadn't been cancelled when it was. There was a lot of promise here for several characters, and it was nice to see the mutants just trying to deal with growing up with these abilities that manifest in teens.

    Scott Summers has _always_ been responsible, compassionate and willing to work with anybody...partially because he's one of the _staunchest_ believer in Xavier's dream. _X-Men:TAS_ said it in the last episode: "No father could be more proud of his son." ...and that was even _with_ Scott being a flawed character. His rival for Jean here is Duncan, as opposed to Logan, but the dynamics [age, involvement, etc] are different. In the comic companion series, we learn more; the main difference is Scott is easier going than his 616 version, but everything else is very similar, just highlighted.

    Hot take: While I like X-men Evolution and it's version of Cyclops, I'm not a fan of Season 1 finale, mostly due to the way it uses Magneto in Scott arc. Having Erik wanting Scott to join his side it's one thing, but he brainwashing Scott and other mutants (as well his plan of putting the X-men against the Brotherhood to decide which mutants are strong) is way out of character. Magneto is radical but his goal is to protect mutantkind from the humans. Coming up with plan that put mutants in situation that can hurt or kill doesn't fit his goal. I feel the episode would have work much better if the villain was Mr Sinister, since he is geneticist who mess with mutants DNA and does has a personal obsession for Scott.

      Wolverine and the XMen had him;"order mystique impersonate senator kelly,making the few already constructed sentinels attack genosha,for rallying the mutants against humanity,then reprograming them for conquest"! This ends with him and quick silver getting banished, plus both daughters resentimg him. Besides, not like magneto ever been who tried the gentle touch. Mean, his response towards mutant hatred, was rallying them, and fostering their growing resentment, towards overthrowing humanity? Not try excusing his actions while bringing out his holocaust survivor status, that was added from the first live action movie! What was his comic self's excuse?

      @@erikbihari3625 for the longest time Magnus was treated as his real name. Then the 90s introduce the idea of his name being Erik it wasn’t consistent whether or not Erik was alias or his real name (all is before he became Magento).
      If I recall correctly again a few years ago they change it into the comics so that his birth name is Max, and Magnus was a nickname he got from the camps. but when his first kid passed away and he used his powers to destroy part of the city by accident. So he ran away and change his name to Erik.
      The image thing is from the comic but Nightcrawler himself never really used because he doesn’t want to hide who he is. The Evolution show changed so it would make sense to have the character hang out in a regular high school and not cause trouble.

    So I agree with most of this video I think where it takes the detour for me is the part with Scott and Alex. Firstly, Scott and Alex were not separated at birth in the episode it clearly states that he and Alex got separated because Alex was adopted by a family after their family was involved, in a plane crash and Scott was left in a coma. Scott being angry at his separation from Alex has little to do with Scott feeling like he had a good life and more to do with Scott thinking he was alone in this world with nobody but the x-men and he finally found the missing piece that he yearned for for so long that being his biological family. Scott’s willingness to throw the X-Men and Xavier’s dream to the waste side for Alex showed that he essential was willing to give his life to keep Alex in it
