In Dante's Inferno, the lustful are not burned. They are swept, a great relentless wind moves them endlessly, helplessly, no footing, no direction, just the next gust carrying them where it will. This week's episode is a weekend reflection; slower, more meditative, less about publishing and craft and more about the soul-work questions underneath. Lust in its oldest, broadest sense—unrestrained wanting. The fire the Greeks understood. The Cyclops's single eye. Odysseus making himself Nobody to escape the cave. Emily Dickinson's delight in being Nobody too. And the difference between failure (which you can face) and self-abandonment (which is harder). This is from a nonfiction book I'm working on.

X-MEN '97 SEASON 2 & DC GREEN LANTERNS OFFICIAL TRAILER REACTION & BREAKDOWN!! Check out the DC Studios: Showcase Podcast HERE https://app.magellan.ai/listen_links/... Greg & Coy dive into two of the most exciting trailer drops in the comic book world: Marvel Animation's X-Men '97 Season 2 and HBO/DC Studios' upcoming Green Lantern series, Lanterns. From nostalgic mutant mayhem to cosmic detective drama, we break down all the biggest moments, reveals, and what they could mean moving forward. First up, the X-Men '97 Season 2 trailer teases the next chapter following the shocking events of Season 1. Fan-favorite mutants return, including Cyclops, Jean Grey, Rogue, Storm, Beast, Gambit, and Wolverine—with voice talent like Ray Chase (Final Fantasy XV, Demon Slayer) as Cyclops and Jennifer Hale (Mass Effect, The Last of Us) as Jean Grey continuing to lead the charge. The footage hints at deeper fallout within the team, escalating threats, and the possible rise of iconic villains like Mr. Sinister and Apocalypse, all while maintaining the bold, retro animation style that made the revival a hit. We also break down the first look at Lanterns, the highly anticipated DC series centered on the Green Lantern Corps. The show stars Kyle Chandler (Friday Night Lights, Bloodline) as veteran Lantern Hal Jordan and Aaron Pierre (Rebel Ridge, Krypton) as John Stewart, pairing two iconic ring-bearers in what's being described as a grounded, True Detective-style mystery on Earth. The trailer hints at a darker tone, intergalactic stakes, and possible connections to the broader DC Universe, with teases of the Guardians of the Universe and the emotional spectrum mythology. Other confirmed Characters for X-Men '97 S2 include: Scott Summers / Cyclops, Jean Grey, Ororo Munroe / Storm, Logan / Wolverine, Morph, Rogue, Dr. Henry “Hank” McCoy / Beast, Erik “Magnus” Lehnsherr / Magneto, Professor Charles Xavier, Apocalypse / En Sabah Nur, Kurt Wagner / Nightcrawler, X-Force, & more... Join us as we react to every standout moment, speculate on what's coming next, and discuss how both Marvel and DC are shaping the future of their on-screen universes.

The X-Men '97 Season 2 trailer just dropped and there is a lot to unpack, from Rogue's mission to get back to Gambit to a three-timeline structure that pulls in the past, the 90s, and the future. Apocalypse appears across every timeline, Deadpool gets a transition moment that opens the door for bigger things, and a Rama-Tut appearance raises real questions about how Marvel handles a Kang variant after the Jonathan Majors situation.Frank also covers the behind-the-scenes shakeups, including Beau DeMayo writing most of season two before his departure, a nod to the iconic 1982 Wolverine cover, and the July 1st release plan that kicks off at the Tribeca Film Festival. Plus, a heads up on a long-awaited sit down with Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, the voice behind Uncle Iroh in Netflix's Avatar: The Last Airbender, Carson in The Mandalorian and Grogu, and Appa in Kim's Convenience.00:00 X-Men '97 Season 2 Trailer Drop and Rogue and Gambit00:14 Three Timeline Structure and Team Splits00:32 Deadpool Transition and Rama-Tut Casting Question00:47 Beau DeMayo Writing Season 2 Before Exit01:06 Apocalypse Across Timelines and 1982 Wolverine Cover Nod01:21 AJ and Lenore Voice Actor Interviews on YouTube01:32 Paul Sun-Hyung Lee Interview PreviewRogue trying to get back to Gambit is shaping up as a major season two thread, and Gambit is clearly not staying gone.The season is structured across three timelines, the past, the 90s, and the future, with the X-Men split into different teams.Apocalypse appears to be the main villain in every timeline.Rama-Tut shows up in the trailer, raising questions about who voices the Kang variant after Jonathan Majors' Marvel exit.Beau DeMayo wrote most of season two before leaving, so the writing tone should feel consistent with season one.The series releases July 1st with an early premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival."X-Men 97 season two trailer just released.

Why does Cyclops keep taking the heat for everything in Marvel's mutant world? In this episode, we dive into the long, complicated history of the X-Men's most polarizing leader—how writers have built him up, torn him down, and repeatedly painted him as the face of mutant controversy. From the classic eras of Jean Grey and Wolverine, to events like Schism and Avengers vs. X‑Men, we explore why Marvel keeps framing Scott Summers as the problem child of the mutant community—even when he's right. Is he a fallen hero, a misunderstood revolutionary, or simply the franchise's favorite scapegoat? Let's talk about why Marvel Comics loves…to hate Cyclops.Thank you so much for watching and be sure to share the stream!

Today on Ascend: The Great Books Podcast, Dcn. Harrison Garlick and the Dr. Gregory McBrayer discuss Books 9-10 of the Odyssey--the first half of Odysseus telling his own story and covering such famous narratives as the lotus eaters, the cyclops, and Circe. Check out our WRITTEN GUIDE to the Odyssey--great for small groups!Follow us on X, YouTube, Instagram, and more!SummaryBooks 9 and 10 of the Odyssey feature Odysseus revealing his identity to the Phaeacians and recounting his adventures after Troy. The episodes include the raid on Ismarus, the encounter with the Lotus Eaters (whom Odysseus forcibly removes to prevent them from forgetting home), the harrowing trap in Polyphemus the Cyclops's cave (where Odysseus uses the "Nobody" ruse, wine, and an olive-wood stake to blind the giant before taunting him and invoking Poseidon's curse), the visit to Aeolus (whose bag of winds is opened by the crew, blowing them off course), the cannibalistic Laestrygonians (who destroy the fleet except Odysseus's ship), and the stay with the goddess Circe (who transforms his men into pigs, but is countered by Hermes' moly herb, leading to a year of feasting and Odysseus bedding her under divine instruction before she directs him to the underworld).The hosts explore deeper philosophical and moral themes, viewing these stories as Odysseus's moral and theoretical education. They discuss xenia (guest-friendship) and its perversions, the tension between Odysseus's cunning intellect and his men's appetites or spiritedness, leadership failures, and Homer's intentional dialectic presenting human nature. Particular attention is given to Odysseus's curiosity, pride, and evolving understanding of place, home, mortality, and nature (highlighted in the moly scene as a discovery of physis). The conversation frames Circe as a structural pivot, contrasting earlier moral tales with later intellectual ones, and portrays Odysseus as a complex, self-serving yet learning figure whose narrative may blend truth and rhetoric tailored to his audience.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Ascend and the Great Books07:42 Professional Updates and New Opportunities09:37 Teaching Homer: Insights and Anecdotes10:58 Homer as a Philosopher: Dialectics in the Text14:08 Odysseus: The Complicated Hero15:47 Odysseus' Journey: Learning and Growth17:54 The Role of Storytelling in the Odyssey23:05 The Importance of Place and Homecoming28:08 Odysseus and His Men: Leadership Dynamics35:47 The Lotus Eaters: Virtue and Temptation40:31 The Nature of Happiness and the Soul's Journey44:04 Odysseus and the Cyclops: A Political Critique54:20 Guest Friendship and Ethical Dilemmas01:05:01 Rhetoric and the Limits of Persuasion01:09:21 Understanding Polyphemus: The Nature of Deception01:11:20 Odysseus's Internal Monologue: The Role of Wisdom01:12:46 The Cyclops's Overconfidence: A Fatal Flaw01:13:49 The Role of Wine: A Tool for Manipulation01:14:58 Guest Friendship: A Perverse Parody01:16:36 The Blinding of Polyphemus: A Turning Point01:17:47 Community Response: The Cyclops's Isolation01:18:41 The Consequences of Pride: Odysseus Reveals His Name01:20:51 The Significance of 'Nobody': Identity and Cunning01:23:24 The Escape Plan: Cleverness in Adversity01:24:05 The Curse of Polyphemus: A Divine Retribution01:26:42 The Cycle of Violence: Guest Friendship Violated01:27:34 The Structure of the Odyssey: Peaks and Valleys01:29:09 The Role of Agency: Human Choices vs. Divine Will01:29:38 The Heartbreak of Aeolus: Trust Broken01:33:56 The Lystra-agonian Encounter: A Leadership Crisis01:36:31 Odysseus's Leadership and Responsibility01:39:50 The Enigmatic Circe: Goddess and Witch01:45:13 Odysseus's Encounter with Circe: A Test of Will01:50:59 The Nature of Eros and Odysseus's Choices01:56:56 The Philosophical Journey: Nature and Mortality02:01:51 The Path to the Underworld: Elpenor's FateKeywordsKey keywords for this episode include Odyssey Book 9, Odyssey Book 10, Odysseus Cyclops, Polyphemus, Circe Odyssey, Homer Odyssey summary, Odysseus adventures, Lotus Eaters, Aeolus bag of winds, Laestrygonians, Odysseus and Circe, Nobody Odysseus, Xenia guest friendship, Homer philosophy, Odysseus leadership, Odysseus moral education, Summary of Odyssey Books 9 and 10, Odysseus vs Polyphemus, Circe turns men into pigs, Philosophical themes in The Odyssey, Homer Odyssey Cyclops episode, Odysseus journey home, Guest friendship in The Odyssey, Ascend Great Books Podcast, Harrison Garlick Odyssey, and Gregory McBrayer Homer.

X-Men (2000) - Ep. 396 Mutants, magnetism, and black leather superhero suits - this week the Normies travel back to the year 2000 to revisit X‑Men, the film that launched a new era of blockbuster superhero cinema. From Hugh Jackman's star-making turn as Wolverine to Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen's legendary rivalry, the hosts break down the movie's legacy, its surprising influence on everything that followed, and whether the first cinematic mutant team-up still holds up over two decades later.

Cyclops is Waiting for Me - An X-Men: The Animated Series Weekly Recap

The only logical solution to wrap up our look at the original X-Men trilogy is a updated re-release of our Caravan Of Garbage review from 2019. Sure Bryan Singer is now gone (for now) but luckily Brett "The Rat" Ratner has stepped in to take his place to conclude the stories of Wolverine, Gene Grey, Professor X, Magnet, Storm, Cyclops and many more characters that would continue to never die and re-appear in future prequels and sequels.

By 2003 superhero movies were well back in vogue.

Cast your mind back to the year 2000. Okay great. And now think about the movie X-Men which introduced the world to the modern superhero movie with the likes of Hugh Jackman's Wolverine, Patrick Stewarts a bald guy, Ian McKellen as Magnet and Halle Berry as a much underused Storm. And with the likes of James Marsden coming back as Cyclops for Avengers: Doomsday in 2026 this decades old Marvel franchise has never been more relevant. And then there's the Bryan Singer of it all.

Want to listen to this episode ad-free? Visit our Patreon! Welcome true believers to X-Men Horoscopes where each week our host Lodro Rinzler is in conversation with a special guest to discuss the X-Men issue that aligns with a significant month and year from their life and what that issue reveals about their future. With us this week is comic writer Alex Paknadel to discuss his current Cyclops series! We dive into how Alex got into the industry initially through being killed off in comics, the most compelling Maggott story ever told, and the premise of the Cyclops mini-series that was left on the cutting room floor because it was simply...too much. Also in this episode: The allure of playing with the underutilized toys in the toy box The banality of evil How Cyclops isn't a buttoned up boy-scout What it means to Claremont a character's powers Colossus is the smartest he's ever been Cyclops cries punches Hot Bird is in a birdcage doing his incredible flying power Wolverine is on bad acid Why you should NOT karate chop Cyclops in the neck All this plus a special peek at the future of the Cyclops series. What does any of this mean for Alex's future? Tune in to find out! Alex Paknadel is a British comic book writer whose work in the X-Men line has brought a sharp psychological and sociopolitical edge to mutant storytelling. Contributing during the Krakoan era, Paknadel has explored themes of identity, power, otherness, and belonging—core to the X-Men mythos—through nuanced character work and morally complex narratives. Known for his precise, thoughtful voice, Paknadel's X-Men stories stand out for their intellectual ambition and emotional resonance within the evolving landscape of Marvel's mutant world. Outside of Marvel, Paknadel has built a reputation in the indie space with acclaimed projects such as Arcadia, Friendo, and All Against All, often exploring themes of class, identity, and systemic power.

Tread Perilously's annual Doctor Who month concludes with "Asylum of the Daleks". The Ponds' break-up is interrupted when the Daleks abduct them to aid The Doctor in entering an asylum where the most hateful and insane Daleks are kept. The mission: shut down the defense field and determine the nature of the woman holding her own against the maddest of the mad. Once in the asylum, the lone human survivor of a crashed starliner makes contact with The Doctor while baking souffles. Is she the one making the Daleks anxious? And why does she seem so familiar? Is the beginning of an impossible (and long) story? Justin immediately gets lost in the plot, but Erik suggests that's a fault of the episode. The Ponds' divorce, for example, is such a new idea that it needed to be set up in webisdoes instead of the previous season. A Cyclops discussion breaks out which leads to Justin recommending a J. Michael Straczynski Amazing Spider-Man story. Erik admits he really likes Oswin -- something that matters if you know who she really turns out to be. It naturally leads to a discussion of writer Steven Moffatt and his storytelling preoccupations. Justin once again supports Topher Grace as Peter Parker and Erik tries to recall how much Rory remembers about his 2,000 years as an Auton.
"You are a fool, Sinister! The most powerful mutants on Earth shall hunt you down to see Charles Xavier avenged!" And with this 2-part season finale, another 13 episodes of X-Men: The Animated Series are in the books! On paper, it's a pretty straightforward, conventional affair, serving as a wrap-up to Professor Xavier and Magneto's exile in the Savage Land and a bookend to the season opener starring Mr. Sinister as the show's new major villain. There's a bit of questionable storytelling as well, on the basis of some circular login at its core. Sinister lured Magneto and Xavier to the Savage Land, and in turn used the latter to bait the X-Men into his clutches as well. Which would be fine enough (albeit convoluted), if not for the fact that he already successfully captured Cyclops and Jean Grey in the season premiere and dismissed the other X-Men as beneath his care or attention. And while his motives could have evolved, the plan was already in motion to send the Professor and Magneto off to the Savage Land from the first episode of the season. Nevertheless, this finale patches over what should be a gaping plot hole through its sheer energy and commitment. What it does do well, it does very, VERY well. As a testament to the show's effectiveness in endearing its cast to the audience, several characters get big moments throughout. From Cyclops making good on his earlier threat to Sinister, to Wolverine's "Die Hard" meets "Jurassic Park" solo run through the Savage Land, to Morph's redemption after a return from (near) death, it's an impressive undertaking that all of this lands in an already stacked pair of episodes. Perhaps most memorable is Gambit and Rogue's declaration of love under less than ideal circumstances. Their first kiss manages to be powerful and convincing thanks to two seasons worth of a slow burn love story growing from mild flirtation to genuine affection, with our understanding of both characters informed by revelations about their tumultuous backstories. The climax also delivers one of the show's most fist-pumping "beat the bad guys to the beat of the theme song" action sequences, a feature that had admittedly been lacking throughout the season. Following this, there are few scenes more cathartic than seeing Sinister literally blown apart and scattered to the four winds. Even if it all doesn't quite hang together story-wise, that's pretty consistent with the comics of the era from which the season draws so much of its inspiration. At the end of the day, this finale is here to have a good time while juggling a bevy of captivating characters in a colorful setting. Although the season as a whole is less ambitious structurally than its predecessor, with its only dedicated two-parters in the beginning, middle, and end, you'd never know it thanks to the Savage Land adventure being dispersed in the form of brief vignettes to create a sense of cohesion and serialization across the standalone episodes. It's a stroke of brilliance that avoids the production and scheduling problems of the first season, allowing the true ambition to shine in the depth of character writing. The Saturday morning sensation has now done seemingly the impossible: topping itself in terms of sophistication and quality, while becoming a well-oiled machine in the process. Where could it possibly go next??
Is Cyclops from X-Men actually a cop, or is he just annoying? That question turns out to be the perfect entry point for a much bigger one: what does ACAB (All Cops Are Bastards) really mean when the people using violence to enforce order have optic blasts and power rings instead of badges?Matthew is joined by comics writer and Book Riot contributor Jessica Plummer as they trace how the Green Lantern Corps shifted from lone-sector sheriffs into an explicitly militarized space police force through deliberate creative choices, and what that shift cost the characters. They work through Batman's complicated relationship with law enforcement, the X-Men's internal debates over respectability politics and who gets to set the rules, and why The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl might be one of the most quietly radical superhero comics ever published.The thread running through all of it is accountability; who superheroes answer to, what happens when the authority behind them turns out to be corrupt, and whether a hero who patrols, stops crime, and hands people over to the cops is meaningfully different from the cops themselves.Connect with Jessica: jessicaplummerwrites.com**************************************************************************This episode is a production of Superhero Ethics, an Ethical Panda podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.
