Well, I too saw the first two movies and correct me if i'm wrong, but wasn't scott being set up as the heir apparent to the x-empire? In the first movie, when prof X was in his little coma, didn't scott say "Don't worry, I'll take care of them?" Uh... okay. So where's the payoff?
Wolverine's challenge was to become a part of something bigger than himself, not to lead the x-men. He needed to learn to take orders, not give them.
I was disappointed with the way cyclops was just brushed aside in X3 and all his loose ends were left to be tied by others (presumably those not working on Superman).
Really, this should have been scott's movie. It was his time to stand up and lead the x-men on his own (though a power struggle between scott and wolvie would have been fun). It was his time to mold the kiddies into the next generation of x-men. And most of all, it was his job to confront the threat of Phoenix: Can he destroy the woman he loves in order to save the world? Scott had the most at stake there. And I don't mean that scott should have been the main character. He could have driven the story from a supporting role while wolvie chewed the scenery and got the good one-liners.
But I guess Magneto was right; The pawns go first. Pfft. To me, it was just lazy writing and lazy execution.
But then, what do I know?
And that's only the cyclops stuff...
BTW Woverine - mutie, Juggernaut - not a mutie
