"It's like Marvel's attempt to make the Inhumans cool." Rob has no chill. Never change 😂

Rob "i have no idea why you guys love Cyclops" Also Rob "Cyclops punches people in the face with lasers!" yea, thats one of the reasons lol

It's not about what cyclops can do. It's about his commitment to getting the job done. If it needs to doing, he is the man.

Rob. We need more full stories. Thank U.

Did not expect that moment. What a twist. Nimrod: "Thank you." Dr. Gregor: "Not cool."

What I love about Cyclops is, he is on-par or atleast near Captain America's mind, in terms of strategy and calculation. That's something Cap himself has stated. The guy has, what is essentially a lower-class ability, and maximized it to it's fullest. Like how Cap can ricochet his shield off multiple surfaces to connect, Cyclops can do the same. Bro's got the sharpest mind. That and he was right.

If you’re telling me these past few years of Powers of X to the Fall of X was us watching how we got to the Dystopian future in DOFP… I’m just gonna die right now with the knowledge that Hickman is a genius!!

Ive always been a Cyclops fan. And it isnt because he shoots concussive blasts, essentially being able to destroy whatever he looks at. Its because he’s spent most of his life trying to not destroy the world around him. He’s had to figure out other ways to succeed. He has evolved quite a bit as a character, and when he stares you down(metaphorically speaking) in almost certain defeat, its because he has a plan…so watch out. Its about to get real

They've really de-pushed the significance and rarity of adamantium. It's frickin everywhere now.

Rob: Says Cyclops is the best villain. Rob: Doesn't understand the obsession. I say that in jest, I agree completely.

It’s not the love of Cyclops. It’s the respect that he deserves. Leading the X-Men is like hearding cats & he does it the best. And when he was a villain, he was still awesome

Rob: “i have no idea why you guys love Cyclops” Me thinking about that one time during pre-Hellfire Gala Massacre when Cyclops was still lead the X-men & ricochet his optic blast off of every traffic light on the street to hit a certain target

Gambit was my favorite as a kid. As an adult I appreciate the nuance of Cyclops' character more.

Cyclops only shoots a concussive blast is as much as cap only throws a shield. If the MCU does it to their strengths, Cyclops will be portrayed as the captain of a rugby team and not just the captain of of Varsity college team.

Apocalypse vs Uranos would have been one of the greatest fights in AAAAAGES. Although Uranos probably would have one tbh, I feel like Apocalypse could have given him a craaaaazy run for his money

A manga artist reviewing xmen said out of all western heroes, he found cyclops the most interesting. A man that would kill anything he sees is a cool concept.

I need to read the X-Men comics because the conflicts and struggles that Mutants deal with are both Brutal and Epic. I have to read all X-Men Arcs: Days of Future Past, Phoenix Saga/Dark Phoenix Saga, Mutant Massacre, Fall of the Mutants, Extinction Agenda, Operation Zero Tolerance, Deadly Genesis, Messiah Complex, Necrosha, Second Coming, Messiah War, Curse of the Mutants, Emperor Vulcan, Dark Reign: Utopia, and Schism. Man, I love the X-Men comics. ✖️-Men for life!!!

Cyclops is so much more than his eye beams. Also, this is really stupid, but every time rob said "orchestrated the attack", I heard "Orchis-strated the attack"

The final x men - human war until the next one.

I bet Rob would change his opinion of The Inhumans if Jonathan Hickman wrote them.

Cyclops is so cool because he’s the real Malcom X of the franchise and was the only one who adopted the ideologies of both Charles and magneto in a practical sense. On top of that, cyclops shines brightest during moments like this. Scott’s been carrying this franchise on his back since day one weather you like it or not and will do so gladly every time. The fact that concussive beams is his only power in a team full of men and women of mythic proportions and he keeps THEM in line? That’s why we love cyclops. Fans know it, marvel knows it, the X-men knows it, and their opps know it

I love that the Tony x Emma marriage for cover is slowly becoming legit.

"If it needs doing, it will be done." Aught to be Illyana's catch phrase.

Dude, the reason we like cyclops is because all he does is shoot concussive blasts… Not OP as hell like wolverine coming back from getting chopped in half or some BS. And he also like is handicapped in a small way cause of the eyes. So people who don’t see themselves as colossus, wolverine, or people like that, they can relate more to a calculating more down to earth level superhero

Yessir, we love us some Ororo. And some Cyclops. I mean, let’s be honest, Scott is one of the only ones who has looked cool in every X-Men uniform. I’ve never liked that they expanded on his blasts as being from the concussive dimension or whatever. That brings him too close to a magic user IMO.

I think of his optic blast like water (hear me out) if someone turns a firehouse on you, its going to knock you back.if you get hit with a constrained small stream like a pressure washer, its going to do damage too

Cyclops is underrated

Rob, read what Cyclops does and you'll begin to see that he's a certified bad ass. You'll see.

I don't think anyone has liked a character just for their power set. Its how they use it, or the character is interesting. Cyclops does both. Punch force is used a lot to describe his powers lol

This is how you write a quality X-Men story over years with an incredible payoff!! Johnathan Hickman and the teams who worked on the X-men have done amazing work. I am so excited to see the finale.

Rob is the best at these breakdowns💯

uranos is thanos grand father, bro! Great video

Rob hates the inhumans so much I love it!

Rob: "I never understood why people love Cyclops so much" Also Rob, 2 days ago: *Uploads a video dedicated to why Cyclops was Marvel's best villain" Age is catching up to our boy

I love when Rob says "He helps them understand their place in the bigger picture" lol!. Rob makes these videos really entertaining and cool.

Put respect on Cyclops' name.

I was just rewatching your latest vid on cyclops and saw you just dropped some more X-Men heat thanks rob!!

The X-Men are fighting like 3 things, Ochis, Moira McTagard, and the Dominion Enigma. Maybe the Robot Sentinals like Nimrod and Omega Sentinal.

Cyclops is awesome. He stands against the tide and fights for whats right!

Emma put dr stasis in an inf death loop 😂😂😂

Absolutely love what you do for comic book fans. Keep going. You’re doing great.

Love the work you do rob shout out from Maine keep up the hard work

*rubs hands like birdman* its about to go down!

Cyclops is my favourite the coolest x man by far

Dude how can you not love cyclops? He is both restricted and uninhibited. He is the better version of the aspect of superman who is afraid to let loose his power. Dude can just fly away but cyclops has to live with it.

My alreadt existing love for cyclops was cemented during the Fear Itself story, where X-men face off against amped up Juggernaut. The line "We have more plans than letters" was too cold. Tactical genius

I want to create a mutant whose ability is to have a arm pop up behind their head that can only give the bird. Then I want Jonathan Hickman to write this character.

Apocalypse never fighting Uranos, let alone crossing paths with Thanos, remains one of Marvel's most significant crimes and a glaring missed opportunity.

Juggernaut's helmet is dope! By the way Cyclops is just a G. He's an anytime any place type leader and he's banging the Phoenix!

Rob the reason people love cyclops ( myself included my favorite X-men ) is because with a power so basic he’s one of if not the best tactical mind in marvel, he’s a great leader, probably the best, great hand to hand fighter and has god tier rizz. He’s a great hero and anti hero and isn’t over powered or overhyped. But you believe in him and he’s the middle road between professor X and magneto.

I'm diggin' the hallway/auditorium sound. Fantastic!!!

People think it's weird that Cyclops is my favorite from the X men lol. The scene in the animated series when he lost his glasses and had to get back home sold him for me. Dude got attacked by and blasted wolves. That was dope af

We use to describe his eyes as a gateway portal to the punch dimension.

Comics explained narration and deep dive is cool.

How dare you say that about cyclops!! OK all wolverine does is scratch people technically. 3:11 but as someone with glasses, cyclops has always been my favorite.

"Why are people obsessed with Cyclops? He can just shoot concussive blasts!" Much like Big Blue in DC, it is not about the powers but about the character themself.

They had to do that for story purposes because Everytime we've seen Wolverine try to pierce Juggernaut with his ADAMANTIUM claws it never works but your telling me a ADAMANTIUM harpoon pierces him?

scott's power was not always concussive in nature until a specific fanmail forced the editor to justify it that way (HE FELT he had to justify it that way, somehow, but i remember reading it and being disappointed. it sounded like the editor simply wanted to show superior knowledge to the fan). but even after that retcon, when a dramatic moment becomes necessary and mostly to underscore scott's power, we see a felled enemy / structure smoking and in a some occasions, glowing & smoking. god only knows why that fan mail was answered that way, it makes no sense as up to not too long ago, scott was like superman, sun-powered, which is why dark phoenix loved being hit with his eye blasts. in one of jean's constant resuscitations, beast built a capsure meant IIRC to either contain her power or stabilize it, remember that issue? they went into the capsule and scott kept feeding dark phoenix with eye blasts... "MORE". more what? more purely kinetic hits to the body? more heat-free explosions? that's not what dark phoenix feeds on. was she possessed by sebastian shaw? ANYWHOO... that 1 retcon destroys thousands of comic issues. effing marvel comics.

You're finally back!

dude the x-men krakoa arc has been wrapping up and having “finales” for years now

I feel like enigma is going to show up in the next issue and be like nope. And just wipe away nimrod and sentinal city with a wave of his hand.

Good work!

I actually agree. I think "being punched in the face with lazers" IS the best description of Cyclops optic blast

Imagine thinking Cyclops just shoots “concussive blast” 😅

Seeing Cyclops in Xmen Schism step up as a leader in a more militant way like Magneto and blast Wolverine's smug face off gave me a whole lot more respect for him as a character.

Rob, watching you from the start up to now has been akin to listening to Redman for the 1st time and his growth in style change with every album(ultra compliment)

This issue was soooooo dope!!! Literally the best issue yet of the fall

I am shocked that Alia Gregor died!

Have you seen 97 early Rob?

ive been follow comics explained since in fb.. accurate explanation and he has a vast knowledge in comics.. when it comes of story telling his the 1 that worth searching for.. like he knows how it begins and how it ends.. legit of legit..

Cyclops "the powers" aren't what's awesome (although his powers are awesome). It's Cyclops "the man". Respect the throne.

Cyclops has been perfect this entire krokoa era. Rob will fit in a “inhumans suck” anyway he can 😂😂😂

i thought cyclops’ eye laser was like superman’s lol (16:22 he cuts off a head!)

Rogue, powered up again during the events of M day and Phoenix force. she went back to only being able to store one mutability at a time since the start of House of X and power of X.

And the ending of this is amazing (rob in every single intro) 😂❤

Just here waiting for Rob to change the title of the video 3 times

Did he say harpoon made from wolverines skeleton??

Cyclops only has concussive blasts? He has been the leader since day one. No one spent more time in the danger room, probably the xmens best tactician

Thx Rob! ✊🏾

When that head twisted, I was like OH MY GOD!!!!

Glad to hear Rob will never be Team Boy Scout. 🎉🎉

Dude. Cyclops doesn’t “just” shoot concussive blasts. That’s like saying Captain America just punches things. His eyes hit as hard as the Hulk, his accuracy is better than Hawkeye, and he is arguably the best tactician and leader in ALL comics. Put respect on his name.

geez !!! NEED to find me some Time in order to Sit and READ ALL of these issues !!!

Ever since Nimrod was introduced Marvel has written stories "THIS IS IT! THIS IS HOW WE GOT NIMROD!"

2:20: This is why I've not been an X-Men for *years.* I just feel like they're milking the war stuff. It's boring at this point imo.

In some comics, Cyclops' vision seems to be written as heat, but mostly concussive force. Maybe it was from having the phoenix force, but I remember him using his vision to fuse the tectonic plates together to prevent earthquakes

Tieining this in with Days of Future Past is really good. After Hickman left I was noticeably unphased by the rest. . . Let's hope this end the way it should.

Ah, ye olde Death Laser in space. A timeless classic.

11:02 Nice!! I love heroes

Wow, so the main X-Men timeline has caught up two days of future past. I know it’s probably not gonna be cold this but that ball looks like a sentinel satellite .

A duel between Ultron prime and Nimrod the greater would be godly🔥🔥🔥

Juggernaut commentary is top tier! “And then he helps them finish with all their living” took me out 😂

Peter Patrelli... now that's a name i haven't heard in a long time... long time

im still mad that you didn't cover the "fight" between legion and uranos

Rob, is your mic getting more echo or are you using a different sound setup? Thanks for a great video, as always!

Thank you Rob!!!! I’m Finaly glad to know someone else who doesn’t thing cyclops is cool!

Dope!

Rob, you need to do a quick xmen recap or playlist to get people ready for 97' some of us were lucky growing up knowing what happened and for new ones, or just us old heads to recap becus we are excited.... that be awesome

The interchange between place in the bigger picture and finish with all their living had me bust out laughing.

My Boi Comics explained knows what the fans want !
