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

I stopped reading X-Men after Claremont left the first time during the 90's. He was THE X-Men scribe as far as I'm concerned. But when he first came aboard, Cyclops was a pretty strong character. It wasn't until after John Byrne left that he started turning Summers into a wimp. I actually used to love Wolverine. He was a punk before Byrne got there but he helped round him out and made him an arse-kicker. Same with the Claremont/Frank Miller mini-series and then when Paul Smith took over on art.
