ooh that ep was good {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}I had a feeling they wouldn't drag out the Storm gets her powers back, but damn I wasn't expecting that black suit. I was just thinking the other day about how that other X-men cartoon/video game, had a a bunch of different designs and was wondering if we'd ever see them. Like Brown suit wolverine.
Also, guess that solves the issue with the Mohawk that I wasn't a fan of. But I was getting used to it. Just didn't understand why there was no explanation for it and Morph's white head.

{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW} Nightcrawler is one of my favourite characters so I'm thrilled to see him on the opening credits.
I am curious to see where things go because as another mentioned, Sinister's work here seems very 90s Apocalypse. Though Sinister was also behind the mutant massacre in the comics so this is just that turned up to 11.
I was hoping for a powerless Storm in the x-men even for a short stint. It really does fee like they've rushed through storylines. A lot of the episodes have been great but considering it's only been six episodes and they've blown through Madylyne Pryor and her whole deal, Powerless Storm, Forge and the Adversary, Genosha's massacre, Xavier's time among the Shi'ar and how many other plotlines, it's kinda crazy.

{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW} So the Trask we saw in the first episode was likely a clone made by Sinister, given that the one we saw today was more in line with the original, disgusted with himself for having a role in genocide

There probably wouldn't be time to do long story arcs like the old series did.

And bumping up the episode count would be a huge help in getting this show to have similar pacing to the original series.

If done well, Sinister will be the next big villain for The MCU along the lines of Thanos and Loki.

Best thing I can say about this show, it feels like how the original seemed to me as a kid.
I thought the animation looked like this, the voice acting was like this, the scope and drama and violence were like this.
It's a fantastic evolution.

I just got finished rewatching the original show and then getting caught up on 97. I've loved all of this. Also, the new show is amazing. A few odd moments aside, they all feel like the same characters. If they had exactly recreated the old animation, there'd be almost nothing to give away how long it's been. I do have one minor complaint tho: {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}If we are to take the deaths as permanent, then I really hate that they made the entire Goblin Queen plot just to kill her off in episode 5 instead of dealing with the consequences long term, which is what it seemed they were gonna do.

That warm up act for the finale COOKED! {Spoiler}{Spoiler}Lots of wild and unexpected stuff crammed into 30 minutes, and this time the pacing didn't seem super rushed.
Captain America, 'Thunderbolt' Ross, Amelia, President Kelly, Morph turned into Quicksilver too. Maggot turned up at one point too.
I didn't expect a bit of 'Dark Beast' to come out of Hank, but it was a nice way of subverting expectations from Trish's interest in him. Morrison's run is where that relationship actually fell apart, and Hank was a dick to her there too, they've just decided to replace the end of an established relationship with the mere tease of it beginning.
Rogue's grief was handled well, and it does take her to every dark corner imaginable...just when you think Kurt and the X-Men can pull her out of the darkness, she allows it to swallow her whole by 'killing' Trask. Logan understands it the most, which I thought was a nice touch, but of course it activates Trask's dormant bio-sentinel programming and he beasts the X-Men in battle until Cable bails them out.
I think Cable's voice performance was stronger here than it was in 'Remember It', and there was a hint of his old 92 theme, he seems to harbour some resentment towards Jean for not being Madelyn.
Speaking of Jean, I'm glad there was more focus on her and Scott trying to confront what they're losing between one another and still being there for one another emotionally.
Emma survived, and is in her diamond form
And the big bad of the season reveals himself. BASTION. Sinister works for him, and boy has he got some trump cards up his sleeve. Magneto is alive, and Bastion's prisoner, the final scene with Bastion shaving Eric and a catchy showtune playing was super creepy. Doesn't seem that Mags eventual return to Villainy will be entirely up to him, I think they're going to adapt the 'Xorneto' thing by having Bastion stitch Erick up, as that was how they retconned his involvement in Morrison's era in the first place

Wolverine was right when he said not to make Rogue mad.

All things considered… {Spoiler}Cap was fortunate that the worst thing Rogue did to him was throw his shield really far away.
