I probably watched that clip of Cyclops ripping off his visor twenty times in a row. For me that imagery connected to so many feelings… reading X-Men comics growing up, Cyclops being my favorite, the 90’s cartoon, wishing Marsden’s Cyclops had gotten justice, knowing that when Scott rips off his visor like that it’s usually because things have gotten seriously fucked…

My kid got nothing from it. He has none of the prerequisite nostalgia. Clearly I must work harder to make him relive my childhood verbatim.
