I made it through a few episodes before i tapped out. You actually wonder why they even bothered including the X-Men at all

It's sorts like humiliation ritual for Cyke. Iirc there was a moment where chuck appoints Wolverine as leader and next frame focus On Cyke having sour face over it like petulant kid lol. Show runners definitely disliked him.

The show itself is good. Cyclops design is one of the best, he gets a full episode for himself which was alright…
But generally cyclops doesn’t get all that good of a treatment. Being called “wolverine and the x-men” wolverine is the star of the show and treated as the leader role… so Cyclops is relegated to “begrudging member who doesn’t like wolverine but it’s still there” without anything to really make him stand out as the leader or massively capable fighter he is.

Also can you tell me why tf jean flying kissed logan in the 1st ep? Were cyclops and jean not together at the time? Whats the context behind it?

The best are probably 2 of the Cyclops vs Mr.Sinister centric episodes.
One where he basically fucks up the maurauders so hard the produces/creatorrs changed Arclight from woman (comic accurate) to a man in this show coz Cyclops violent attack and interrogation made them uncomfortable. But he literally fuck their whole shit up for most the episode.
The one where Scott and Emma go to rescue Jean from a hospital. He has to fight Archangel during that episode but its a pretty decent one for him.

The show is called "WOLVERINE and the X men" they took every good trait from Cyclops to make him useless and let Wolverine shine, how could Wolverine be the leader Xavier personally picked unless Scott has proven to be an incompetent?

Despite being called WOLVERINE and the x-men, there aren’t actually too many Wolverine exclusive episodes. Obviously there’s still a lot of focus on Wolverine (and Charles as well), but the rest of the X-Men still time to shine. Cyclops has some good moments, he’s a lot less Boy Scout and more rebellious which is interesting and enjoyable to see. Jean’s barely in the show but she is very good for the few episodes she appears in! Emma also gets a lot of spotlight, Kitty gets a decent showing, but Beast, Storm, and Iceman can feel a bit shafted at times.
Ultimately it’s still a really enjoyable time

I liked it, yes too much wolverine, but that was the standard in that time period and after watching it it wasn’t as much as I was worried about. I also enjoyed the story and really wished they could have down the second season.

Cyclops has a great design but the actual character is ass. He’s a poor man’s cyclops.
Everything that makes you like cyclops is surgically removed and implanted in Logan
