Yep , and if Cap hadn't come knocking on his door , to get Hope , and subsequently ignited the spark which turned into this raging forest fire , then this event wouldn't have taken place either .
however with all these plot-based stipulations aside , I still don't see how any of this is Scott's fault . At least Pre-Phoenix Scott's fault .

...so Scott's decision to try and tame the Phoenix Force in the hopes that maybe this time it won't end badly for everyone involved in spite of prior history telling him the EXACT OPPOSITE occurs is a good one?
Jean was just FINE with the PF until the Hellfire Club drove her insane (people seem to be forgetting that it was the Hellfire Club and their meddling that resulted in the whole "Dark Phoenix" transformation). Rachel Summers had the PF for YEARS and nothing went wrong. Hope would have likewise been just fine with it, except the Avengers acted like little know-it-all a$$holes and interfered in it's Host selection and caused it be fractured and sent to five people IT DID NOT CHOOSE to be it's Hosts.
Sans outside interference, the PF has done nothing wrong prior to this AvX event. Scott was in the right!
Meanwhile, Wanda Maximoff Hitler, you know, the person that actually caused an entire species to go all but EXTINCT, is sitting pretty with the Avengers. Why isn't that b|tch in jail?
