I didn't forget it, I was just trying to mix things up a bit. Actually Whedon gave Scott a fair number of great moments ("X-men don't shoot people" being another one) but I wanted to mix up the time periods a bit. I left out the Cyclops vs Giant Squid simply because it was the issue after he trounced all the X-men too.
But, hey, if someone wants to do a follow on post with the many moments I left out, I'd love that. (I have others in mind myself. Maybe I'll do it, too.)
