Best interpretations of cyclops for me: The comics version (when written well), 97, Wolverine and the X-men, and evolution

[@noaharthur9041]

Do you have any recommendations for well written comics that feature Cyclops?

[@nealsmall9316]

James Marsden is a great Actor and a great choice to play Cyclops. It’s really unfortunate that the movies never gave him much to do. The Last Stand kills him off within the first 10 freakin minutes!

[@iangatuz8184]

He's Cyclops is not matching visually with Hugh's Wolverine in screen... Hugh is too big that Marsden looks like a little boy beside him, in comics Cyclops supposedly bigger than Wolverine. They shoulve use effects or camera magic on that movie to make Hugh smaller specially in his scene with scott

[@amstersheikh6995]

i swear, james marsden was born to play cyclops,

[@chamathnadeeshan4008]

His looks on sonic movies fit much better than his look on X-Men movies.

Didn't he voice Cyclops in X-Men Evolution?

@nealsmall9316 nah that was Kirby Morrow who also passed the same year as Norm. Rest in Power to both of them

I used to watch X-men: Evolution. By far the best X-men show. Really wish I could rewatch it.

@@noaharthur9041 not so much

[@francostevo9939]

was already the middle of writing a fan fiction story of cyclops where he uses his optic blasts in resourceful ways such as using the force to go from one point to another, slight high jump, climbing up walls(depending on the wall), ordinary objects being put to unique use by use of optic blasts, etc etc.

I love both looks of cyclops (the mask he wears over his head, only just the visor) if they do him again in live action I’d like to see him wear both suits.

[@R0B5e55or001]

I'll admit that Ray Chase did well holding the candle for Norm Spencer rather better than no Cyclops, not that Norm Spencer is replaceable.

You missed out his costume he wears in the danger room at the end of X-Men: Apocalypse

Cyclops can’t see without his visors because, his optic blast is unlimited.

You missed one. Cyclops made a brief appearance in the Wolverine anime, wearing an outfit from the comics.

James Marsden was the perfect choice to play cyclops nobody can come close to what james portrayed .

[@tornadochaser2457]

Nice to see some James appreciation. All I usually see is, "James wasn't given his due", or "it's a damn shame James wasn't given a chance to shine". He stands out in the first one, and plots have their ups and downs in focus, it makes sense that he was brainwashed and out of the picture for the vast majority of the second one. The third barely has him due to means beyond its control (Superman Returns filming schedule confliction). All things considered, the circumstances are entirely understandable, and James really did show his talent as Cyclops in the first one. I just feel like the conversation should be distinctly more positive.

[@azuresaiyan9005]

Jim Caviezel would've killed it if he were cast.

[@ssj2rhandy]

Nice video Great character though I hate Cyclops in Wolverine and X men , he’s a giant dickhead in that one

woah first one of these videos that actually does a little research and describes the appearances instead of just lazily pasting clips into a video. Very nice

X-men: Apocalypse also showed Tye Sheridan in the original Cyclops suit by the end of the movie.

I know you said it was a rumor but I think you should have had a spoiler alert or just not mentioned it for the Deadpool 3 rumor. Other than that great video
