CAMEOS: Cap, Iron Man, T’Chaka, Dr Strange, Psylocke, Alpha Flight, Peter and MJ, Daredevil, Cloak and Dagger, Silver Samurai, Omega Red, Crimson Dynamo, Darkstar, Mr Fantastic (Morph). I probably missed some but that’s what I could remember
CRITICISMS: Rogue seemed to make up with everyone a little too easily, but I guess seeing Magneto rip out Logan’s Adamantium will do that. Phoenix was a cheap get out of jail free card, especially considering it just kind of disappeared after it freed the X-Men
HIGHLIGHTS: All the Blue team members individually beating down Bastion. Rogue: “HIS NAME WAS GAMBIT! REMEMBER IT!” The sentinel Trojan horse with gold team. The goodbye between Nathan and Scott/Jean. “I should have been in those stories!” “You were.” Mother Askani! We are going to get to see Scott and Jean raise Nathan!
And the post credits scene! We are definitely getting Gambit as Death!
This is easily one of the best things Marvel has done. A total nostalgia trip loaded with fan service for all us 90s kids. It stayed true to the original while becoming more mature at the same time. All the praise to Beau DeMayo. Whatever he did to get fired must have been bad, because this was an excellent product and it will be a shame to lose him.
As someone who never had watched cartoons of the X-Men and only knows the movies and the MCU this show lost me completely. I had after a few episodes not a clue what was happening. No backstory to get invested in, and the big reveal left me emotionless. All the dialogue was, without context I think, cringe and over the top dramatic.
I guess this is only for nostalgic fans of the 90s shows. I could imagine I would have liked it a lot more with this background.
What an ending!
