re: Bryan Singer still not seeing how miscast the X-franchise was

Given that the movies have used primarily his vision of the characters, in his universe, and his stories... Hollywood largely agrees. Claremont made the X-Men what they are. They are not the iconic figures they are if he doesn't take over the book, they would be on the same level as the Guardians of the Galaxy or the Defenders.

I love Claremont for the most part and quite frankly his version was status quo for the X-Men for a long time, but we are coming onto 15 years (and looks to be going strong) with of the Morrison/Whedon construction of X-Men. Once has been a long journey for Cyclops has completely changed the entire focus of the series, which it should be-he is the lead, the heir apparent and now working with his mentors rival it more interesting than anything Claremont did, IMO.
