What a strange thing to put in spoilers.

I was worried about that episode during the first 15 minutes but it paid off with that ending. That's going to change things moving forward.

How so?

It gave some of the space for character that folks wanted with the Goblin Queen stuff earlier and probably has the most pathos of the season so far.

Holy Hannah, what an an episode! Pixie, and Glob were a total surprise given they are modern characters. But that they are doing the Genosian genocide and it's so brutal, no wonder last week was such a puff piece.

The Goblin Queen/Inferno stuff should have been 2.5 episodes, but I'll let it slide if they do this stays as good as it is.

The first twenty minutes or so of that was pretty painful, but the last 10-15 minutes was absolutely incredible. I'm assuming time travel will undo some of that? I haven't actually read this storyline. It was after my days.

Cyclops is just incredibly boring. The only good bit of all that was:

Spoiler!


I laughed pretty hard then, but the rest of the first half sucked.

I loved it. Start to finish, Thought of the stuff at the mansion as keeping other characters in the loop, not too important to the episode, but important to the overall arc. Loved the possibilities of Genosha and that they barely let us sit with that for a minute.


Spoiler!


This is exactly the X-men 92 we left behind. Taking big swings, moving through years of comic book storytelling at a torrid pace, doing a better job of summarizing it than a bunch of 3 hour long movies, respecting the source material enough to not apologize for it's goofiness or shorthand (these are picture books for adult boys, that don't need to take themselves too seriously).

I thought the animation was great all the way through and Genosha felt like a real place. Enjoyed all of that. The attack felt pretty tough considering recent events.

The Rogue-Magneto thing....not a fan. Surprised they went that way, feels creepy. Everything between her and Gambit was great, and I loved Gambit's final move.

Did everyone catch the glimpse of The Watcher in the sky after Gambit and Rogue spoke. Right before the fireworks go off.

I liked Magneto trolling Gambit in the jet, it was something I didn't know I needed.

The Pyschic affair was something I never thought they would do either. I'm glade they aren't afraid or such adult themes.

I think they realize that a majority of the people watching this are adults.

I am getting irrationally angry when the "skip intro" button appears at the bottom right corner of the opening. Skipping the intro is a crime against humanity. Disney+ would be wise to remove the option.

Uatu is always watching when these types of tragedies occur.

As an adult, I realize he's really just an alien that likes to slow down and stare at accidents on the highway.

Even worse, he's listening to the police radio to find out where the accidents are so he can get to them asap.
