The animation took a hit in episode 9?
Often looked like a mid flash animation from back in the day.
Damn good show, though. Damn good.

Fuck man why did Dazzler have to die? So close to having this again.
The Konami team was based on Pryde of the X-Men, the Toei animated pilot.

Oh boy. I had a feeling once those two started fighting we'd get Bone Claw Wolverine. I can do without the bad redesign down the road but hopefully they find a happy place and keep his current look.

Have to agree. Still enjoy the show immensely but what happens at the end of episode 9 shouldn’t have been a still frame. It’s an iconic event for one of the most popular Marvel characters and they gave us one frame.

It's a recreation of the panel where Wolverine's adamantium is pulled out. It's an Easter egg for comic fans.

You're right, but the panel/frame deserved better. You can hardly tell what you're looking at.
Seemed like the animation was rushed and maybe the budget ran out. Hopefully they held off for the next episode.

Boy people are watching this episode and insisting
Magneto did nothing wrong. They straight up say his action killed thousands of humans and mutants. Then he has the gull to bring up the death of mutants on Genosha like mother fucker you can't kill a bunch of mutants yourself and blame the death of previous mutants as your reasoning

The brown suit was always the better Wolverine suit.

It’s such a flop they’re not stopping at three seasons.

This show is getting a lot of praise from the people who DO watch it. The mainstream audiences will get it once word of mouth on the finale goes out.

While it's not exciting when it comes to gameplay it's nice to see what Wolverine looks like.
I think the leaked build only had Bishop to play.

The best end.

Was good, but wasn't crazy about it.
A LOT of style, little substance.
Music was on point, and the animation a bit better than the previous episode.
But I walked away feeling like there wasn't enough payoff for the narrative beats that had been building all season.
I've watched it twice. Maximum fanservice.

I enjoyed this season but this was Legend of Korra season 1 all over again. Some aspects of it, including the pacing, felt rushed, and that's probably because Disney didn't guarantee them a second season during production, let alone guarantee them the 12 episode stretch they really needed.
Super Bastion should have felt like Perfect Cell, but he was instead taken out within 1.5 episodes. Now instead of this cool new villain (new to the 90s show) who was kind of calculating in a way, we will be going back to Apocalypse and his BS again.

They greenlit 3 seasons before production began, they’re going beyond that with its success.

^^Yup and season 2 is basically done.
But I don't know how season 3 is going to go because they fired Beau DeMayo

I thought it was mid-to late production that this was announced?
If so then that makes this ending seem even worse, because they had the room to breathe and still kind of rushed it. Hopefully the pacing is better in season 2 and 3 because I enjoyed it greatly otherwise.

Watched the first 2 episodes back in March and heard of the good press around the show. It's a certified masterpiece!

I need to watch the season finale still, but I REALLY enjoyed this a lot. First thing from Disney in a while where I had a lot of fun watching.

Best thing Disney has put out in 5 years. Wonder how long it will take Disney execs to ruin it. *looks over at The Mandalorian*

Ask me about my terrible takes on Star Trek characters
Char's Counterattack sure is a great movie.

Well season 2 is basically done and it was done by the same people who made this past season... But the man behind the stories (Beau DeMayo) either quit or was fired and no telling who's doing season 3

Disney found his OnlyFans and axed him.

I finally started watching last week. Im now on episode 6.
Jesus this show is phenomenal. It manages to have all the childlike awesomeness of the superheroes but still captures the relevant and poignant messages that make the characters sing and resonate.
This show understands why the x men are so great a story. We can use more animation like this.

It's always a monkeys paw situation with Disney, we finally get a show that respects the source and is a great continuation of it, ...and Disney has already fired the person in charge.

Overall great revival and I'd be happy to see more but I am split.
You can tell story pacing, fight choreography, voice acting and general animation have all greatly improved and they do their best to keep as close to the 90s cartoon as possible.
As much as I loved the cartoon when it aired, it feels crazy rushed each episode. You are working against hard censors and you had to dance around more complex themes and tie up most episodes in 30min. Revisiting the old show, it does feel dated but that is still the aesthetic of X-men I like the most.
Hopefully they keep this one going a few seasons but I'd like a proper attempt from square one and letting the story grow more organically and see more of the "school" and growth of the characters (Without turning it into a high-school centric show like Evolution).
I just wish they could 1:1 reuse the character designs for their next project. These are just so incredibly iconic.

The first x-men movie started that. It was just the xmen in the school for decades in the comics.

Not once watching this show(finished the season) did i ever think "man, rogues ass is too small here"
Just goes to show how friggin dumb that whole thing was. None of that matters in a show that's actually good. Thats stuff people think about when the show is bad so there's nothing else to dwell on.
She was great in this, as was everyone else. Just a masterclass at work in general.

Have you watched the video? The ass was merely a footnote. They're overall pretty positive but do remark they're burning through a lot of source material and that we may end up with another season 8 GOT when it comes to quality fall off compared to the first season.
