@sonny1:
1 the phoenix did not restore the mutant race hope and scarlet witch did. They used the phoenix to do it.
The Phoenix was still the key to restoring the mutant race. It came to earth for Hope to use as a vessel. Cyclops knew that somehow Hope and the Phoenix could fix the mutant problem. What cyclops did not know is that they would need Scarlet Witch's help. Had cyclops been given the option to work on a solution hand in hand with the Avengers as equals, they could have figured this all out after Hope accepted the Phoenix.
2 If he would have worked with the avengers and let them know what was going on, maybe they would have found a solution together and their was no way in hell he would have let the scarlet witch help.
He wasnt given the option to work with the Avengers. They came to Utopia and said they were taking Hope. period. No discussions. Not only that, but their plan was to kill/stop the Phoenix. They had two attempts. One in space with Thor, and another on the moon with the laser beam that split the Phoenix.
3 He got innocent people killed in the end, and Murdered professor X.
that happened after he was possessed by the Phoenix. Which was the Avengers fault for trying to kill the Phoenix on the moon. Cyclops never asked for the power of the Phoenix. People were only killed at the end after Cyclops repeatedly asked Professor X and the Avengers to stop. They pushed him to that point. The last thing you want to do is stress out the Phoenix host. The knew very well what can happen (dark phoenix) and decided not to let up anyway.
4. The scarlet witch USED her powers along with hope to return the mutants with Hopes. If i am wrong feel free to post the comic to prove it.
Scarlet Witch did use her powers in conjunction with Hope and the PHOENIX (which the avengers wanted to kill) to restore mutants. The point is all this could have happened from jump if the Avengers didnt come to Utopia to forcefully take Hope without approaching a solution to the problem with the x-men hand in hand as equals. They forced Scott's hand.
some things to note when considering how justified the Avengers were in approaching the problem the way they did.
- In all the times the Phoenix has visited the earth, it has never come to destroy the earth.
- Never has a host ever gone dark phoenix upon receiving the phoenix. Both Jean Grey and Rachel Grey handled the phoenix without issue, with jean only going dark Phoenix due to being manipulated.
If you can prove that the arrival of the phoenix and it finding a host is an automatic, right off the bat, disaster for the planet earth (or even automatic dark phoenix), feel free to post the comic to prove it.
Here's the problem with your whole synopsis, the phoenix was destroying life on other planets along it's path to earth. And for all the avengers knew it was a danger to the entire planet. They wanted to take Hope into protective custody in order to protect the rest of the planet and maybe determine what was going on. Hell the avengers have some of the smartest people on the planet. Having a hunch and being lucky is different than knowing something. Beast being a scientist and having first hand knowledge of the phoenix was probably the most qualified to make that call and with wolverine knowing Scott captain America followed his advice. You are just making excuses for Cyclops. Again according to nova the phoenix force was taking out planets. The avengers weren't taking a chance. And even with Scott having control of the force he didn't bather to return the mutants race back to it's original numbers. He instead decided to act like a god like the rest of the phoenix 5.
When it comes down to it. Scott acted like a jerk. Honestly I never really cared for him as a character anyway.
Even in the clip on the right you can see that Captain America was still trying to work with Scott summers, but Scott being the prick he is had to show out.
I guess you can write anything and fan boys and girls will eat it up.
