Robbed of the Phoenix, robbed of Laura, Colossus, and Gambit joining the team, Robbed of Magneto being a teach, robbed of Rahne coming back and Dani officially joining, robbed of Nimrod, robbed of Rogue seemingly having acquired her flying brick powers... This show left me **dying** for more back in the day, and now here I am, a proper X-Men fan of many years.
I have been waiting three months to see you react to those 11 seconds of animation at 26:24. (edited to remove spoiler) Worth it.
We really need the ‘97 treatment for Evolution. Hell, they already have an obvious title: REvolution.
Honestly, for not getting more seasons, that's a pretty damn good ending. Bittersweet, assures us that great triumphs and tragedies shall continue, and that through it all, this family will hold strong to make the world better. Though we won't see more than these brief glimpses, their stories continue, and the X-Men endure.
One important thing about Xmen being made teenagers, specially for a public at the time that was children, is that the Mutant metaphor can be brought closer to something kids can understand. Because even if many kids will not understand some of the more complex themes, kids 100% understand the concept of being bullied and put down because you are seen as different than the norm. A lot of prejudice starts at school.
You can tell hes excited because theres 3 reactions in the thumbnail
The endless dedication to keeping Paul in the loop in this series has been my favorite bit
Still my favorite horsemen lineup. Not just because they’re powerful but it’s literally the teachers and mentors versus the students they trained.
23:35 You need to remember its not Charles doing the plans, so no Leech Ball special
I like to think at 19:10, when Kurt bamf'd in, Apocalypse just went "JESUS CHRIST!!" and just punched him out of a knee jerk reaction
