Nikhil was so mesmerized by Gambit's appearance that he didn't point out that he doesn't have red eyes (for now)
You know that this is a kid friendly version of the Xmen when the reason Xavier's plan almost got the team killed is because he was actually Mistique. If this was the comics Xavier, blowing up the massion and getting half the team captured would have been a very calculated part of his plan and he would just say "well scott, one day you will be the leader, so you need to learn to make decisions under pressure"
"Why test using Wolverine?" If you tested with anyone else, you'd get one test before they died. With Wolvie, you get to test the killing ability over and over again
I love that Boom Boom stole Avalanche's Jeep when she left the Brotherhood
My favorite thing about this reaction is Nikhil every 5 seconds going: PHOENIX?????
I'll never get tired of Nikhil rallying for the phoenix any time there's a hint towards it
Trask is popular because people just love the name Bolivar, I think. Such a classic down to Earth name. Bolivar. Old Bollie.
"Why leave Scott behind, SPECIFICALLY?" Just get hype for Mystique having a huge grudge against a teenager, it's great.
You want to know something, it didnt occur to me until days ago that Mystique stole Charles when they were in the pysche ward
Xavier being Mistique could explain why they needed Gene to use cerebro at the beginning
