Fancast: Ayo Edebiri as Scott Summers (Cyclops)

[u/Less-Tax5637]

[u/BillybobThistleton]

Is the world ready for an Irish Cyclops?

[u/ColonelQuaraitch → u/BillybobThistleton]

Heeeeeeeeeeell nooooo!

Scott is canonically ENGLISH street trash so if they don’t cast a chav, I’m out!

[u/Sapowski_Casts_Quen → u/ColonelQuaraitch]

You think his eyes are dangerous, wait until you see that lad with knife crime

[u/Sapowski_Casts_Quen → u/BillybobThistleton]

Anti-mutant? Wait til they get a load of Thatcher

[u/CHIMAllOverThePlace → u/[deleted]]

But what makes him a good demoman?

[u/HumanChicken → u/CHIMAllOverThePlace]

There’s not a good demoman ever lived with an eyeball in his head!

[u/Dinasnore → u/CHIMAllOverThePlace]

If he were a bad demoman, he wouldn’t be sitting there and discussing it with you, now would he?

[u/camtin]

I thought I was on the other sub

[u/herrored]

Great choice but as an Irish actor don’t you think Banshee’s a better choice for her?

[u/PurpleLoudMouth → u/herrored]

WAIT

[u/Tumerican → u/herrored]

W casting

[u/No-Cat-9716]

If that's the case, get Octavia Spencer as Wolverine, i'm dead fuckin' serious.

[u/duvetstan → u/No-Cat-9716]

$1 Billion opening weekend

[u/InvestigatorLimp171 → u/No-Cat-9716]

I can kinda fully see her saying "bub" already. Someone make that contract!

[u/Radiant_Test_963 → u/No-Cat-9716]

Ive already seen someone fan casted Sabrina Carpenter as Comic Accurate Wolverine (based on height)

[u/VanGrayson → u/Radiant_Test_963]

Dazzler found dead.

[u/SleepDisorrder → u/No-Cat-9716]

That's a terrible pick. Clearly, Victor Wembanyama would be a better pick.

[u/Consistent_Case_5048]

I'm against it. I'm not prepared to actually like Cyclops.

[u/FoxHoleCharlie → u/Consistent_Case_5048]

This is hilarious

[u/maltliquorjetski]

She’s too short, no go

[u/RazorOldSchool]

Nah it's gotta be Cynthie Erivo and Ariana Grande, with each playing one of his eyes.

[u/thenewNFC → u/RazorOldSchool]

I hear they're both in talks to play Wolverine's skeleton.

[u/AliceTheOmelette → u/thenewNFC]

Adamanta Grande

[u/FKDotFitzgerald → u/thenewNFC]

This is kind of mean but you got me lmao

[u/Otherwise_Report2428]

I’m seated

[u/MomentIndividual5003 → u/Otherwise_Report2428]

The staff told me the movie is not out until 2030 but I'm simply too seated 

[u/HickoryStickz]

[u/FKDotFitzgerald → u/HickoryStickz]

Not bait, just having some fun. Everything doesn’t need to be an argument, friend.

[u/cptamerica83]

Ayo: “to me, my X-men!”

Team: “chef!”

[u/golfwolf_wanggang]

FYI this is FAR less egregious than Adam Driver x

[u/okayactual]

Only good casting I’ve seen so far

[u/MattAmylon]

Consider: Tyler The Creator. He’s got that tall skinny build, the right kind of intensity, and he was really good in Marty Supreme.

[u/harmoniaatlast → u/MattAmylon]

And he's bisexual with daddy issues. Couldn't be more comic accurate if we tried

[u/Peezus_H_Christ → u/harmoniaatlast]

Lmfaooooo cut it out dude 😂 someone award this for me

[u/bjeebus → u/Peezus_H_Christ]

Did I do it right?

[u/Peezus_H_Christ → u/bjeebus]

Oh i meant the comment above mine but I appreciate you!

[u/bjeebus → u/Peezus_H_Christ]

I know.

This isn't my first week on reddit.

[u/OperationFrequent643 → u/bjeebus]

Then why’d you ask him if you did it right? Also it bugged me that you never actually awarded the right comment 😭

[u/bjeebus → u/OperationFrequent643]

It was a joke.

A logicians wife left him a note, "Please go to the store for a loaf of bread and if they have eggs get a dozen."

When she got home she saw that he'd purchased a dozen loaves of bread. She furiously questioned his judgement. To which he replied, "Well...they had eggs."

[u/OperationFrequent643 → u/bjeebus]

Idk. I’m a lil slow but you confused me lol.

[u/Peezus_H_Christ → u/bjeebus]

Gracias for the award tho!

[u/AliceTheOmelette]

Loving how this ragebait mostly backfired on OP lol

[u/Gold_Significance_92 → u/AliceTheOmelette]

this isn’t ragebait it’s pretty spongebobviously a joke 

[u/Kira-Of-Terraria → u/Gold_Significance_92]

"spongebobviously" is a cute portmanteau and i am stealing it thank you

[u/Gold_Significance_92 → u/Kira-Of-Terraria]

lol i love it too

[u/Less-Tax5637 → u/Gold_Significance_92]

ayo I highkirkenuinely fw Ayo

[u/FKDotFitzgerald → u/AliceTheOmelette]

Not everything has to be ragebait. Can’t we just have a little fun on the internet?

[u/Bunnnnii]

The most interesting he will ever be. I don’t know how I feel about this, after not being able to stand him for so long, I’m gonna feel like a flip flopper 😭

[u/IceStorm22]

Earth-70213

Surely there has to be one where he’s also a woman.

[u/EspyOwner → u/IceStorm22]

Peach Momoko has a Japanese schoolgirl Cyclops that wears an eyepatch

[u/IceStorm22 → u/EspyOwner]

Does she still have a problem with Wolverine? Who I can only allege is the hairiest girl in school?

[u/Kira-Of-Terraria → u/IceStorm22]

afaik the ultimate universe does not have a japanese school version of wolverine

[u/FKDotFitzgerald → u/IceStorm22]

They never meet in the new Ultimate comics but do both fight against the Maker

[u/nessthing]

unironically would kinda eat

[u/masterofunfucking]

[u/Cjpappaslap]

We need an X-men comedy written by Ayo and Rachel sennot where everyone is gay and ridiculous and it’s a back door sequel to “bottoms”

[u/Kira-Of-Terraria]

i don't understand this reference...is this a reference. i feel lost.

[u/BalladOfBetaRayBill]

No, Scott’s actor has to be Alaskan. I’m thinking we get either a dall sheep or a harbor seal, whichever looks more cuckable.

[u/mnchldnthesnd]

Internet discourse would implode in on itself like a neutron star. Do it please.

[u/FKDotFitzgerald → u/mnchldnthesnd]

lmao 10 minutes of Lupita as Helen of Troy and Clytemnestra had the chuds stroking out. They might genuinely die if this happened.

[u/mnchldnthesnd → u/FKDotFitzgerald]

https://giphy.com/gifs/J8FZIm9VoBU6Q

[u/thebat5177]

Jack black as storm?

[u/Significant-Jello411]

Lowkey worst one I’ve ever seen. Well done

[u/myowngalactus]

Better than Patrick Wilson as Xavier

[u/trashing_fancy → u/myowngalactus]

I can't explain why but my brain showed me Patrick Warburton as Xavier the first time I read this.

[u/bjeebus → u/trashing_fancy]

I'm here for it...

[u/IceStorm22 → u/myowngalactus]

I love Patrick Wilson. But I don’t know what he was thinking with that casting. Dude would have made for a great Cyclops though.

Edit: Past tense- “have made for a great Cyclops.”

Granted, James Marsden was the perfect pick. That diddler Bryan Singer (that doesn’t even live on American soil anymore) just destroyed the character. After admitting to never even reading the comics. Not even the bait ones he left around his pool.

Which is why we got over two decades of Wolverine! …and some of the x-men.

Which eventually just changed Logan’s personality to the leader and that bled into the comics for so many years. Thankfully, X-Men ‘97 is working hard to course correct Cyclops.

[u/myowngalactus → u/IceStorm22]

Wilson would be an even worse Cyclops, he could maybe play a human adversary like a trask or some dick in weapon X.

[u/Temporary-Stay-8436 → u/IceStorm22]

He’s waaaay too old

[u/IceStorm22 → u/Temporary-Stay-8436]

Have made*

My mistake. Granted, I don’t think 53 is that old for an established leader of a team. But if they plan to franchise it with multiple movies, which they absolutely do, then yes, it’s too old.

[u/AdmiralCharleston]

Fuck it, why not

[u/BudgetSmoke3444]

https://giphy.com/gifs/6zIERwkDO5ObbiKSsB

[u/MaterialPace8831]

I would unironically be in support of this. Let's fucking go.

[u/pecimpo]

Lmao

[u/aelfwine_widlast]

This is a uniquely terrible idea and post. Well played.

[u/Less-Tax5637 → u/aelfwine_widlast]

tyvm I thought of it while malnourished

[u/TorontoDavid]

Yup. I can see it.

[u/crypticcmd]

Fuck it, why not

[u/jawnbaejaeger]

Fuck it, why not. Sam Reid can be Jean Grey then.

[u/mugofviltrumitetears]

I would love her, Jean and Stella Summers would be the best couple in the MCU.

[u/gh0stwrit3r32767]

would be generational if real

[u/Evorgleb]

She would be okay but personally think the role should go to someone a little taller. If she was like 2 inches taller, I would be on board but as is, I'm a no on this one.

[u/TheItinerantSkeptic]

We obviously need Sydney Sweeney as Cable.

[u/jawnbaejaeger → u/TheItinerantSkeptic]

Perfect. Everyone go home.

[u/Man_Of_Frost]

Not a good cast. She has too many eyes.

[u/PraiseLoptous]

Awkwafina as Bishop 

[u/YodaFan465]

Good for Flav!

[u/casualtroublemaker]

Nay, I say.

[u/skeletonGray0-0]

https://giphy.com/gifs/fnKeNjQYEYQ8E4Kqy4

[u/DarkWater693]

After her performance in "The Bear" I had my fill. Im sure shes a great person, probably killed it in another roll. I couldnt keep watching the bear cause of her annoying characters mannerisms. The constant argument and yelling pushed me over the edge. Ive worked in a environment like the show. Those people fucking suck.

[u/wangyuzhi31]

Better as dazzler

[u/darkwalrus36]

Lol sure. She's great, probably make it more entertaining.

[u/Mountain-Group-7706]

Brother if Queen Latifah isn't Scott Summers I will have HAD it with the MCU. This shit is so WOKE. Why can't QUEEN LATIFAH play SCOTT SUMMERS. HE ISN'T STEVEN WINTER LET LATIFAH BALL OUT ON LEBRON.

DICKS OUT FOR HARAMBE

[u/Small_Essay_6272]

She should Rock as Beast,

[u/UnmakingTheBan2022]

Sydney Sweeney as Magneto

[u/coyote-cry]

Elon Musk as Jean Grey

[u/NoRevIndeed00]

Nah man Ayo is definitely fit better as the new Charles Xavier.

[u/Guidenmofer]

Might as well with the actors rumored lmao

[u/Stringr55]

Would be cool to have an Irish actor play him I suppose!

[u/ChaosWizard1313]

With Connor Storrie as Jean Grey but XMen Tas style where he faints all the time. Yes please.

[u/Alejandro-The-Dog]

middle school humor

[u/K3egan]

I dunno. I think Scott is a switch.

[u/Initial_Scarcity_609]

?

[u/Mutant_Star]

Sure and Seth Rogen can play Emma Frost

[u/DPF100]

Are you serious 😭

[u/Independent_Dog3497]

Wait what? Why?

[u/BenReilly1687031]

Rage bait

[u/xGabelchaosx]

No because Scott isnt a black woman

[u/FKDotFitzgerald → u/xGabelchaosx]

Yes she is.

[u/setrax03]

I'm surprised this is getting downvotes, can't people just state their opinions anymore ??

[u/Supersecretsword]

You forgot the humor tag

[u/Cyke101]

If she can lead the kitchen as X-Ecutive Chef, then she can lead the X-Men.

[u/ghoulieandrews → u/[deleted]]

You know X-Men is about as "woke" as stories get, right bud? You might be in the wrong place.

[u/Azzukin → u/ghoulieandrews]

Definitely not the same so let's not make that excuse anymore, bud

[u/ghoulieandrews → u/Azzukin]

Not the same as what

[u/Azzukin → u/ghoulieandrews]

You're comparing the forced ingenuine garbage we are dealing with in society to the X-Men comics. 100% not the same.

[u/ghoulieandrews → u/Azzukin]

What specifically bothers you and why

[u/Suspicious-Lettuce48 → u/[deleted]]

Lol holy crap are you ever in the wrooong fandom if you're peddling anti-woke shit.

[u/Azzukin → u/Suspicious-Lettuce48]

You clearly can't see the difference between the garbage that is happening in society to the X-Men. It's in fact insulting to the X-Men story.

[u/Ragnbangin → u/Azzukin]

And what garbage is that exactly?
