Categories of characters in the X-Men Movie Franchise

Rogue should be classed as a lead character in X1 atleast dude, and Cyclops a secondary character in the original trilogy, his purpose in those movies is just to be Jean's boyfriend, he is meaningless to the plots and he isn't even really the leader of the X-Men, they operate as well or better without him and he never brings anything to the team really, which is unfair because he should be but they wrote him poorly, he should have been the guy calling the plays knowing his teams ability and such, instead he was virtually useless.

Also what is the point to this? what is there to discuss, you are simply stating an opinion as fact as per usual and offering nothing worth talking about, except to point out where you are mistaken, you aren't asking for others opinions, again just arrogantly stating your own usually flawed opinion as irrefutable fact, if you want people to discuss these movies with you make better post, because this...this is just masturbatory spamming on your part.

You must be watching totally different movies to think Cyclops has any importance in these films. His character was completely disrespected and wasted.

Rogue is still a trainee in X2 (and arguably again in Last Stand), which is why she spends the entire climax of the film sitting in the jet with Bobby twiddling her thumbs.

They never knew how to properly handle any of these characters.

No he isn't, if he is it's a sad symbol, a impotent jealous jock douchebag who is jealous of the cool new guy, Cyclops literally does nothing in the original trilogy, his role is to be Jean's boyfriend and the guy that wheels Xavier around, that's it, he is unimportant to the plots of any of the movies, they were a total disservice to the character which I think Singer and them admit to on the commentary track of X2, saying how they gave James a small fight scene before being captured because for 2 movies he would have literally nothing to do otherwise.

You are also convoluting lead performers with in movie "official" X-Men, Cyclops may be an official X-Men in X1-3 but he isn't a lead character, leads are people who are important to the movie, he is not, he's a secondary character at best, and just because Rogue wasn't an official X-Men doesn't mean Anna Paquin was not a lead in the movie, you need to stop lying and trying to force these false narratives as all it does is make you look foolish.

In the original trilogy, he gets one or two power displays then disappears. In Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix, he gets a little bit more to do, but still has no personality and no skills as a leader. Like most of the characters, he's whittled down to nothing but his powers. We don't care about him at all and we're just waiting for him to blast something. Nothing bad ass or iconic about him in any of the films. He deserved so much better. I can only imagine if Cap was treated this way.

I remember being so pissed at Bryan Singer back that year. I was a big fan of both X-Men and Superman growing up and he managed to ruin both in a single Summer. So glad his career is over.

Everyone of those are lame it's him putting his fingers to his visor at most, he didn't even fight Toad he got kicked once and knocked out for a minute, the closest is in the Lady Deathstrike scene where he has 10 seconds of meh hand to hand action with the guards, because Singer and co realised without it all they had Marsden do for 2 full movies is put his fingers to his temple, but then Cyclops get's KO'd once again with a single basic strike, I mean the Liberty bell final fight I assume you mean where Jean holds up his visor telekinetically, so his bad ass scene is opening his eyes?

We get it mate, you are a fanboy, no need to be a frothing at the mouth raving mad fanboy, take yah lips off of the fictional characters metaphorical schlong and just admit he was a lame character in the original trilogy, that's on Singer and co for not utilising him better, not a testament to the characters actual worth.

Doesn't mean he has to be a statue when using his powers, it's no different than a gun, bow and arrows, throwing knives etc, which movies utilise into bad ass fight scenes, Cyclop's visors ability to modulate his powers intensity and spread means they could have done this, even in the montage in X1 where they show Cyclops training all he does is again stand still and move his head, this is not a bad ass scene.

No they aren't it wasn't a fight, a blindside cheap shot is not a fight you goof, Cyclops got kicked once and shut behind a door knocked out, all he did was then blow the door off and crack Toad's mucus off of Jean, that's not bad ass it's underwhelming and meh, Toad fighting Jean and Storm was cool as it showed off Jean's ability and inexperience as well as Toad's ability and character as he showed flair, that's a cool scene for Toad once they get rid of Cyclops, he isn't in good scenes he's the character they get rid off to have good scenes.

There was no struggle and it also wasn't a team effort, Toad took out Cyclops and Jean, Storm toasted the Toad on her own unaided, your recollection of these movies are atrocious and ridiculous.
