I cut the whole entry. Beast has had the entry since 2017 or 2018, so I thought it was a valid entry and should remain. However, after seeing the discussion in the Scrappy Cleanup forum, I thought it was best to cut it since it contradicts his Broken Base and Base Breaking Character entries on other pages; as well as proof that there are readers who actually like Beast’s current portrayal. However, I think some of the points made should be used in his Broken Base and Base Breaking entries since a LOT of people I’ve seen on social media find Beast’s portrayal in Ben Percy’s Wolverine and X-Force more aggravating and overblown than amusing or engaging.

There's now a discussion about Beast - and specifically about how he's portrayed in the X-Men: The Krakoan Age stories - in the Scrappy Cleanup Thread
.
If he's positioned as a Hate Sink and has made a Face–Heel Turn, that's not The Scrappy - which is for characters unintentionally hated by the audience. Beast in the Krakoa stories is pretty clearly set up as a bad guy, especially in Destiny of X's Wolverine and X-Force arcs.
On that basis, a lot of this might end up cut or moved.
Please comment on the thread if you have an interest in this.
