That was wild omg! I have never been too into x-men but I’ve started reading their comics now because of this show, gonna have to check which stories this episode pulled from.
The way they handled Gambit-Rogue-Magneto triangle was so much better than what I expected. Gambit expressing to rogue how he felt without getting angry and understanding why she felt that way for Magneto, which made his death so much more tragic considering he never found out that Rogue ended up turning down Magneto. So well done. This episode was full of really strong, well written moments. Magneto saving that kid, Madelyne meeting Cable, Scott finally cracking, Wolverine telling Jean to go talk to Scott, all of that in such a short runtime and none of it felt unearned. I hope they handle the Scott-Jean-Madelyne stuff as well as they have Rogue stuff. Also Beast blushing was precious lol, really fantastic episode!
Agreed with everything you said. These episodes are dense and I can’t wait to see how far into the more modern stories the show will take us.
