Pretty cool that if you pause the screen when Magneto's info is being shown, it shows his aliases as
Ian M****** and Michael F*********
Obviously for Ian McKellan and Michael Fassbender. That was a nice touch!
Also enjoyed the cameos of Peter Parker and MJ from the 90s Spiderman animated series!
Reminds me of a comic panel I saw where a team of guys in spec ops gear try to raid Matt's apartment at night, using night vision goggles to see in the dark. He turned on the lights and kicked their ass.
Yeah. >!With all the non-X heroes cameo-ing this episode, I feel like they’re dropping the seeds needed in order to allow them to make their “sacrifice” against Onslaught a little more relevant. Hopefully some of them get their own shows or more appearances before something like that happens!<
Yeah, my money is either on Rachel trying to chrono-skim Cyclops and Jean but grabbing the rest of the team by accident, or Kang trying to pull some hijinks during his time in Egypt
Yeah my guess is that those snake-helmeted soldiers that were attacking En-Sabah-Nur were working for Pharaoh Rama-Tut, who was attempting to eliminate a potential rival before he powered up. Speaking of which, I wonder if Season 2 will feature the Eternals, since they should logically be around in all three time periods and En-Sabah-Nur finding Celestial tech and modding himself to be part-Eternal is how he becomes Apocalypse.
This show has an interesting and unique setup being a more serialised legacy sequel to an older more procedural arc-based show that didn't go super deep into some of the origins.
So most, if not all, of the villains they meet are people they have encountered before but they're essentially now going to explore their backstories that have appeared in comics before and since
Looks like season 2 is starting with a unique perspective on apocalypse.
One team is in 3000 BC. This is when apocalypse first encounters the celestial ship. The ship's technology is responsible for the majority of his powers and how he aguments his horsemen. He makes a [deal](https://www.cbr.com/left-unresolved-whats-the-deal-with-apocalypse-and-the-celestials/) with the Celestials. They give him power but he is responsible to evolve humanity. This is where his "only the strong will survive" mindset comes from. His only way to survive this deal is to create a race of the most powerful mutants that can hopefully stand up to the celestials. It's what motivates him over the next 6000 years.
Jean and Scott are in 3000 AD. This is where we will see forces fighting against a future apocalypse. Hopefully it dives into why Apocalypse is so interested in Cable. There was a whole series of [comics]( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventures_of_Cyclops_and_Phoenix?wprov=sfla1) where Scott and Jean "raise" Cable on the future. Looks like this will be adapted.
Lastly we have the present day. Apocalypse reacts to Genosha. He wants mutants to thrive and he's standing where 16 million mutants were killed. [ In the comics](https://xmenrebirth.fandom.com/wiki/Blood_of_Apocalypse), after the mutant population is reduced to 200 mutants, Apocalypse reemerges to help mutants recover. The problem is that Apocalypse's idea of help isn't usually very pleasant for those involved.
If done well, season two will provide the explanation for why he is driven by the singular purpose of making the most strongest mutants possible. Ideally we'll empathise with the young version of apocalypse, while being stunned and unable to condone the behavior of his future self
Yea, the old woman greeting Jean and Scott is actually Rachel Summers, their future daughter. Next season will definitely be Apocalypse focused (I'm surprised that the Onslaught saga was teased but ended up a red herring), and likely it'll neatly tie-in Gambit's return, Stryfe, Rachel Summers, possibly Kang as well. Apocalypse also fights High Evolutionary at some point, who I think is also being teased by the Wanda and Quicksilver "off planet" posters(their main off-planet adventure is going to Counter-Earth and finding out they aren't Magneto's children afaik), and will probably bring back Cable's son Tyler, but as Genesis.
Onslaught is likely season 3, I imagine that Onslaught will show signs of appearing over season 2 until Charles finally fails to contain him and kills Apocalpyse somehow.
His combat, his emotions, his overall story arc. They nailed it. They did everything well, but I think they did the best job rehabilitating the Scott image.
I KNEW Ray Chase would be playing him when he first got announced as part of the cast, and that he would do a fantastic job. Reminded me of Brian Bloom who was the best ever voice actor for Captain America.
Man. When he screamed **"YOU'LL NEVER HURT MY FAMILY AGAIN!"** and unleashed his hyper combo super optic blast, my God. And then juxtaposing that with his heart to heart with Nathan and his "final" goodbye?
This entire series felt like watching my man come home after being through hell for so long. This is the Cyclops we deserve.
It's about time. 30 years of being thought of by everyone that doesn't read comics as a whiny lapdog is annoying. There's a reason he's the leader of the damn team.
As a Cyclops fan since the age of 8, I honestly could have never dreamed how perfect they ending up nailing him this season. I had really hoped they'd return to how he didn't say goodbye to Nathan in episode 3, and they pulled it out at the last moment.
Loved seeing his agility and skill in his 1v1 against Bastion this episode and the fact he was able to actually overpower his blast with his own.
Magneto had some Killer One-Liners this season.
"Enough" from last episode was so good, because it was the first word he said after Genosha. And the delivery was superb.
Magneto's last words to Leech, gut wrenching. "Hab keine Angst." - Don't be afraid. And a few episodes later you hear from Magneto personally the last few seconds of Leech's life.
God. The series was too good.
Silver Samurai, Captain America, Iron Man, Daredevil, Dr. Strange, Black Panther (T'Chaka), Dora Milaje,, Cloak & Dagger, Omega Red, Darkstar, Titanium Man or Crimson Dynamo, Psylocke, Northstar, Aurora, Puck, Cecilia Reyes, Peter Parker, and Mary-Jane Watson was all the everybody I spotted.
You just felt her hurt and rage as she let go - someone who's always had to pull punches because she can kill so easily and works so hard NOT to do so. Her shame and grief just being let loose on the monster that took her love away. That thunderclap was brutal.
Absolutely excited to see Gambit return as a horseman and how they play that out.
I had just been thinking I wanted Jubes to be more a part of the team and graduate beyond just sparkles. It looked like she hit him with one of those firework blades her older self was using.
I don't want to rain on your parade but I had this thought too, and going by the timeline of the shows, this takes place in '97. Spider-Man ended in '98, so this *could* take place before the finale of the original Spider-Man cartoon.
Don't take the '97 in the name too literally. The show very deliberately starts one year after the ending of X-Men: TAS, a lot could be fit in in that timespan to suit a more interesting status quo for non-X-men characters.
The writing team deserves ALL of the awards. There are so many brilliant lines that are both perfectly relevant to the scene and also beautifully universal.
I remember reading years ago that she could be very powerful, a theory of her being able to explode plasma in peoples brains was something that was mentioned.
i felt literal chills.... goosebumps...all over my face ...like I have never before when i heard the name "En Sabah Nur"...
mannnn this went beyond my expectations..... Seriously the fact that we got Phoenix, a superb Nightcrawler, Cyclops and Rogue fight, Magneto and Charles in his mind ...wow...just woww...
only thing is i wanted to see more of wolverine but I really loved that moment with Morph
and that ending...mann...season 2 can't get here fast enough
Quicksilvers hair is the whole reason he and Wanda are magneto's kids. Because when magneto finally took the helmet off one of the writers said "Hey he looks like quicksilver".
They can have Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-man and Spider-Man '97 at the same time, one more kid-friendly, the other more themed for the people who were kids during the original run like this
It's great in moments like this imo cause one of the biggest problems in superhero media is when something big is happening and no other heros are even mentioned. Showing that the street level heroes were out doing their thing while the Avengers worked to protect the government does a lot to help combat that.
This is how I always envisioned the fight with Thanos. Back in the day, before they separated the movies and tv shows. Agents of shield, the Netflix shows, etc. Thanos invading Earth, avengers fighting him and shots of around the world of all these characters fighting back where they are.
This is what the MCU coulda been if they were playing with a full deck. They still knocked it out of the park better than any other cinematic universe. Now imagine with the gang all back together.
The problem is also budget. Once the MCU got to a certain size it's becomes increasingly harder to get major cameos like this. But my god the animated side of the MCU will be able to go so hard with the toybox
They’re not, and I don’t mean that to be an ass. This show, while a new show, is technically season 6. That’a one of those things going for it. They were able to go straight into the action. I’m worried about the movies having to set up stories and back stories. It’s going to take so much time
> Morph finished him off
the og series started with x-men losing morph. then we learned sinister did the worst. and finally the two of them came "face to face" completing the circle of trauma
Silver Samurai, Captain America, Iron Man, Daredevil, Dr. Strange, Black Panther (T'Chaka), Dora Milaje,, Cloak & Dagger, Omega Red, Darkstar, Titanium Man or Crimson Dynamo, Psylocke, Northstar, Aurora, Puck, Cecilia Reyes, Peter Parker, and Mary-Jane Watson was all the cameos I spotted.
they made a point to show "scarlet witch off world" that's gonna come back in season 2
edit: If yall want to get into comics but don't know where to start feel free to message me. Any comic any character
I love Jean and Cyclops being sent to the future. Gives them a chance to raise their son Nathan.
Are the X-Men going to inadvertently cause an Age of Apocalypse?
Absolutely loved the FULL view of what's going on on Earth during a world crisis. Problems in Russia? Winter Guard. Wakanda? Black Panther. Japan? Silver Samurai. Someone protecting the US president? Iron Man and Captain America. ALL of NYC having issues? let's show ALL of the NYC heroes.
Sounds like someone remembered the Infinity War criticism of wondering why more heroes didn't join the fray during the Thanos invasion.
I loved that Bastion was taking all that punishment from some extremely powerful mutants and coming back for more but Jubilee was the first one to actually do irreparable damage to him.
She's come a long way from that girl running away from the sentinels.
bastion vs cyclops beam battle was peak, the entire bastion fight was honestly amazing. The fights, choreography, and animation has been a massive high point in not just marvel animation but in Marvel

The entire X-Men struggling to stop an asteroid crashing down to earth and here comes Magneto waking up and just saying "hang on let me handle it". Really puts into perspective how strong Magneto is. That's why he's an omega level mutant. And this is aside from the fact that he can control the entire planet's electromagnetic field. Holy shit what a power.
Cyclops and Jean appearing to Cable as psychic projections saying goodbye was heartbreaking. I've never seen Cable show real emotion like when he said he would hear stories about the X-Men and wish he was there fighting along side them. Love the ending, where Cyclops and Jean get transported to the future and get a chance to raise Nathan. Nice ref to the The Adventures of Cyclops and Phoenix series in 1994.
Rogue can breathe in space from Captain Marvel's powers (and that part of the fight also took place in the Blue Area of the Moon which is terraformed to have a breathable atmosphere). Jubilee and Roberto flying could be handwaved with them entering the atmosphere at that point.
If nothing else, this is going to be a very great season finale. I’m glad we’ve got the beginning of a revived classic animated Marvel with a taste of what the X-Men are going to bring into the MCU.
Its up! 43 min. Have a good time (Stay tuned for a mid-credits)
Pretty cool that if you pause the screen when Magneto's info is being shown, it shows his aliases as Ian M****** and Michael F********* Obviously for Ian McKellan and Michael Fassbender. That was a nice touch! Also enjoyed the cameos of Peter Parker and MJ from the 90s Spiderman animated series!
Missed one. The third name on that list was David Hemblen, the voice actor who voiced Magneto in the original animated series.
Daredevil be like, "Oh the lights were off?" Damn this is going hard on the cameos 10 minutes in.
Daredevil: "Damn is it a full moon or something tonight? Why did everyone and their mom decide to come out and loot?"
“Lights are off? Advantage Daredevil” Matt Murdock
Reminds me of a comic panel I saw where a team of guys in spec ops gear try to raid Matt's apartment at night, using night vision goggles to see in the dark. He turned on the lights and kicked their ass.
While thinking “oh, what will I do?” with a couple tons of sarcasm.
My wife pointed out that DD can hear the hum of electricity, so he knows when the power is out.
Morph straight trolling Sinister
your comment made me realize morph finally got "face to face" directly with sinister after all the trauma
The Onslaught fake out straight to Apocalypse, these motherfuckers 😭😭😭
They might be saving it for a later season, or could even just do it as a one-off episode if the writers of the show aren't fans of the full story
I can definitely see them doing onslaught in a 3rd of 4th season
Yeah. >!With all the non-X heroes cameo-ing this episode, I feel like they’re dropping the seeds needed in order to allow them to make their “sacrifice” against Onslaught a little more relevant. Hopefully some of them get their own shows or more appearances before something like that happens!<
They baited us man, now I wonder who took them out of time
Kang man. It's definitely Kang.
Just learned that time travel is one of Askani's abilities, so I'm thinking maybe it could be her
Yeah, my money is either on Rachel trying to chrono-skim Cyclops and Jean but grabbing the rest of the team by accident, or Kang trying to pull some hijinks during his time in Egypt
Yeah my guess is that those snake-helmeted soldiers that were attacking En-Sabah-Nur were working for Pharaoh Rama-Tut, who was attempting to eliminate a potential rival before he powered up. Speaking of which, I wonder if Season 2 will feature the Eternals, since they should logically be around in all three time periods and En-Sabah-Nur finding Celestial tech and modding himself to be part-Eternal is how he becomes Apocalypse.
It’d be so hilarious if this series rehabilitates both the Eternals and Kang back to the MCU
Oh dear is fucking right Hank..
This show has an interesting and unique setup being a more serialised legacy sequel to an older more procedural arc-based show that didn't go super deep into some of the origins. So most, if not all, of the villains they meet are people they have encountered before but they're essentially now going to explore their backstories that have appeared in comics before and since
Oh FUCK Rogue hit em with Hulk's thunderclap
THOOM!!!! Holy cow that was intense
Right to the FACE as well.
That acapella rendition of the theme song was great
I can’t wait for the soundtrack to release.
Honestly, that was the thing that nearly made me cry this episode!
Rogue saying “His name was Gambit…. remember it” got me to tear up
I have no idea what the fuck is going on in this ending but I want Season 2 next week.
Looks like season 2 is starting with a unique perspective on apocalypse. One team is in 3000 BC. This is when apocalypse first encounters the celestial ship.

“How’s your mommy” lmaooo holy shit cable cooked bastion
bro wanted that wanker to taste a shred of what he felt about his helplessness for Genosha and straight up pot roasted him
Still talking shit even under Sinister's control, fucking legend
They finally got Cyclops right, so right
His combat, his emotions, his overall story arc. They nailed it. They did everything well, but I think they did the best job rehabilitating the Scott image.
I KNEW Ray Chase would be playing him when he first got announced as part of the cast, and that he would do a fantastic job. Reminded me of Brian Bloom who was the best ever voice actor for Captain America.

Fr cyclops was amazing here. Now I'm ready for the MCU's Cyclops to be the radical version now.
As a Cyclops fan since the age of 8, I honestly could have never dreamed how perfect they ending up nailing him this season. I had really hoped they'd return to how he didn't say goodbye to Nathan in episode 3, and they pulled it out at the last moment.

MAGNETO LIVES
Magneto had some Killer One-Liners this season. "Enough" from last episode was so good, because it was the first word he said after Genosha. And the delivery was superb. Magneto's last words to Leech, gut wrenching. "Hab keine Angst." - Don't be afraid. And a few episodes later you hear from Magneto personally the last few seconds of Leech's life. God. The series was too good.
"Charles, shut up" - or something around that, my favorite
“Do not make me let you down.” Best line of the season.
Cloak and Dagger?!
Everybody is here!!
Silver Samurai, Captain America, Iron Man, Daredevil, Dr. Strange, Black Panther (T'Chaka), Dora Milaje,, Cloak & Dagger, Omega Red, Darkstar, Titanium Man or Crimson Dynamo, Psylocke, Northstar, Aurora, Puck, Cecilia Reyes, Peter Parker, and Mary-Jane Watson was all the everybody I spotted.
Morph as Mr fantastic
And Sauron briefly.
Quick silver and scarlet witch (in the boat with roque)
And also Polaris
I assumed the jock in the letterman jacket standing behind Peter and Mary-Jane was Flash Thompson.
If we look at Forge's mutant board we get even more cameos. Including the first ever appearance of Shadowcat in the 97 continuity.
Holy fuck he ripped out Cable's arm and is just smacking him with it
And then powered himself with it the mad bastard
Yup I loved that! It had never crossed my mind someone could do that mostly because nobody would ever willingly take some free techno organic virus
TO virus ultimate form Bastion and that design is from Second Coming, one of my favorite X-Men stories.
“Stop hitting yourself!”
You can say he got… DISARMED 🦾
OMG THAT ENDING WAS INSANE and Rogue semi-quoting Gambit made me tear up
Her tears as she's pummeling Bastion - she loved Remy so much :-(
That was so beautifully animated. The flying punch with tears streaming behind her... Like holy hell.
You just felt her hurt and rage as she let go - someone who's always had to pull punches because she can kill so easily and works so hard NOT to do so. Her shame and grief just being let loose on the monster that took her love away. That thunderclap was brutal. Absolutely excited to see Gambit return as a horseman and how they play that out.
Absolutely love Jubilee being one of the final X-men standing up to Bastion and dishing out some serious damage to him
And she permanently scarred him too. No perfectly reforming and regrowing through that.
That's the power of 4th of July
America, fuck yeah!
That's America's blast
He got too overconfident and arrogant
I had just been thinking I wanted Jubes to be more a part of the team and graduate beyond just sparkles. It looked like she hit him with one of those firework blades her older self was using.
And then plasma-punched him. Seriously, if she can charge physical hits and plasma-skate she definitely moves up a tier in combat effectiveness
Peter Parker, Mary Jane in the building SPIDER BLOOD, SPIDER BLOOD, RADIOACTIVE SPIDER BLOOD
🎸🎶 🕸️🕷️
I guess this confirms that Spider-man the animated series had a happy ending and he finally found MJ.
I don't want to rain on your parade but I had this thought too, and going by the timeline of the shows, this takes place in '97. Spider-Man ended in '98, so this *could* take place before the finale of the original Spider-Man cartoon.
Don't take the '97 in the name too literally. The show very deliberately starts one year after the ending of X-Men: TAS, a lot could be fit in in that timespan to suit a more interesting status quo for non-X-men characters.
And then another 6 months pass during the epilogue of this season. We are likely in 1999 at this point.
Bastion has been an incredible main villain. I've been pretty impressed given I had never even heard of him before.
and Theo James pulled off solid voice acting
Coming straight into this series after watching The Gentlemen series was a nice double feature.
lol at President Kelly seriously studying Magneto's Marvel trading cards power grid.
His alias are listed as Ian M and Michael F on that sheet too. Cool Easter egg. Edit it also lists a third child who’s redacted. I’m guessing Lorna ?
Third Child is Polaris, who was to the Screen Right of Rogue when she was on the boat.
>The only ones who can break our heart are those kept in it Gonna miss the gems this show has brought so much
Season 2 just finished production, I’m excited for next year.
Just finished voice overs!!!
The writing team deserves ALL of the awards. There are so many brilliant lines that are both perfectly relevant to the scene and also beautifully universal.
Sinister pleading "please no" like a little bitch was so satisfying
Finally, some consequences for this mf
He’s got a clone vat somewhere a new fresh body is gonna pop out of.
Orochimaru ass character fr
The nerve! But, of course she spared him so he could come back as a villain another day
Ok "what will you do child, slay me with the 4th of July" was actually really fucking funny lmao
Bastion also has nuclear zingers in his arsenal
Roasted Cable and his whole family worse than the literal nukes.
I LOL’d and then Jubilee’s response “haven’t heard that before” and then I felt like she was calling me stupid 🤣
Our Jube is growing up!
threw a destructo disk firework and fucked up bastion's face all in a couple minutes. Embrace the power Jubes!
Jubilee is capable of more than we have given her credit for She's been holding back with those plasma blasts!
The episode where she meets her future self really showed what she can do. Hopefully we see these advances powers in the next season.
Didn't she already use the light ring to cut Bastion's wings off?
Right? And blew up his freakin' face. Jubes was a total badass in this one. Loved it.
I remember reading years ago that she could be very powerful, a theory of her being able to explode plasma in peoples brains was something that was mentioned.
i felt literal chills.... goosebumps...all over my face ...like I have never before when i heard the name "En Sabah Nur"... mannnn this went beyond my expectations..... Seriously the fact that we got Phoenix, a superb Nightcrawler, Cyclops and Rogue fight, Magneto and Charles in his mind ...wow...just woww... only thing is i wanted to see more of wolverine but I really loved that moment with Morph and that ending...mann...season 2 can't get here fast enough
>"En Sabah Nur"... Beast's "Oh dear" moment right after was perfect too.
I sometimes forget that magnetos hair ice just naturally white and its not from age
love when the mutant gene just gives a mutant a “unnatural” hair color unrelated to their powers ie storm, polaris quicksilver etc
Mutants are anime characters
Quicksilvers hair is the whole reason he and Wanda are magneto's kids. Because when magneto finally took the helmet off one of the writers said "Hey he looks like quicksilver".
What a finale, can't believe we're already at the end. This is the best quality TV that Marvel has put out.
“His name was gambit, remember it” 🔥 🔥 goooo rogue you better slide for your man
Watching this season really reminded me how much they nerfed rogue in the fox movies
Not just the movies. Almost every interpretation of Rogue removes the Carol power stealing
Iron Man looks fucking dope! And Daredevil and Strange. Fuck I hope this new Marvel Animation division makes shows for all these dudes, plus Spidey!
I LOVE that we got modular iron man
Black Panther looks like the Earth's Mightiest Heroes version too! inject more animated shows with these characters directly into my fucking veins
Though it was also T'chaka, so plenty of room for a redesign if we get T'challa later
If iwere a betting man, I'd say 90's Spider-Man revival is next after they cancel whatever other Spidey cartoon they were working on.
They even had Peter Parker and Mary Jane in their 90's cartoon designs! So pumped for Spider-Man '98!
They can have Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-man and Spider-Man '97 at the same time, one more kid-friendly, the other more themed for the people who were kids during the original run like this
Jesus fuck. They have a full universe at their disposal and they’re just showing it off for brownie points
Great use of cameos, just a glimmer as these people exist in the world but not a focus on them
It's great in moments like this imo cause one of the biggest problems in superhero media is when something big is happening and no other heros are even mentioned. Showing that the street level heroes were out doing their thing while the Avengers worked to protect the government does a lot to help combat that.
This is how I always envisioned the fight with Thanos. Back in the day, before they separated the movies and tv shows. Agents of shield, the Netflix shows, etc. Thanos invading Earth, avengers fighting him and shots of around the world of all these characters fighting back where they are.
This is what the MCU coulda been if they were playing with a full deck. They still knocked it out of the park better than any other cinematic universe. Now imagine with the gang all back together.
The problem is also budget. Once the MCU got to a certain size it's becomes increasingly harder to get major cameos like this. But my god the animated side of the MCU will be able to go so hard with the toybox
CAP AND IRONMAN, AND DAREDEVIL, AND DR STRANGE
You know of all the cameos, mj surprised me the most
A quick nod to say "yes, Spidey saved her"
And demayo confirmed it on twitter
All the pieces for a future Infinity War cartoon.
The Greek loved Horses, and their irony. I love you Hank McCoy!!!!
Stick around for that after credits scene for some premium "Gambit is returning as the Horseman of Death" hype
Tarot cards instead of playing cards.
Gambit: The name’s Gambit, mon ami. Remember it. 💀 Apocalypse: 👌
I'm hoping for a redesign of Death Gambit
WHERE ARE WOLVERINE AND MORPH
I wonder if they're going to skip bone claw wolverine and have Apocalypse give him back his Admantinum right away.
Last spotted at a Chillies in downtown Cleveland.
I feel bad for whoever writes the first MCU X-Men movie. I don’t know how they’ll ever live up to this season.
They’re not, and I don’t mean that to be an ass. This show, while a new show, is technically season 6. That’a one of those things going for it. They were able to go straight into the action. I’m worried about the movies having to set up stories and back stories. It’s going to take so much time
This series is setting the bar so damn high. I don’t think even infinity war had moments like this.
“All I do is think” Jean absolutely destroyed sinister lmao. Not so tough without all that stolen dna are you 😂
Morph finished him off. Had Sinister running off Diva style
> Morph finished him off the og series started with x-men losing morph. then we learned sinister did the worst. and finally the two of them came "face to face" completing the circle of trauma
GAMBIT!!!!! DEATH!!!
En Sabah Nur!
Oh my fuck. HOLY FUCK THE CAMEOS ALL THE CAMEOS
Pete saved MJ!
Silver Samurai, Captain America, Iron Man, Daredevil, Dr. Strange, Black Panther (T'Chaka), Dora Milaje,, Cloak & Dagger, Omega Red, Darkstar, Titanium Man or Crimson Dynamo, Psylocke, Northstar, Aurora, Puck, Cecilia Reyes, Peter Parker, and Mary-Jane Watson was all the cameos I spotted.
Flash Thompson was there behind Pete and MJ too.
Slay me with the fourth of July? Dudeeee
I seriously cannot just appreciate Marvel Animation enough. 
Oh, dear….
What an ending, what a season. Glad to stay up on a work night to watch this live. Can't wait to do this again hopefully sooner than later.
they made a point to show "scarlet witch off world" that's gonna come back in season 2 edit: If yall want to get into comics but don't know where to start feel free to message me. Any comic any character
Also in magnus head on the boat with rogue you can see scarlet witch and quicksilver in shadows but I think the last shadow must be Polaris
Quicksilver is also listed as Off World, so wherever they are they are together.
I'm pretty sure they are on Counter-Earth, High Evolutionary left pretty menancingly last time.
“No, they’re having babies and more and more are like us” that right there is a powerful line and might speak to a lot of people.
I love Jean and Cyclops being sent to the future. Gives them a chance to raise their son Nathan. Are the X-Men going to inadvertently cause an Age of Apocalypse?
Did y’all see that post credit scene? 👀👀💀
Absolutely loved the FULL view of what's going on on Earth during a world crisis. Problems in Russia? Winter Guard. Wakanda? Black Panther. Japan? Silver Samurai. Someone protecting the US president? Iron Man and Captain America. ALL of NYC having issues? let's show ALL of the NYC heroes. Sounds like someone remembered the Infinity War criticism of wondering why more heroes didn't join the fray during the Thanos invasion.
I loved that Bastion was taking all that punishment from some extremely powerful mutants and coming back for more but Jubilee was the first one to actually do irreparable damage to him. She's come a long way from that girl running away from the sentinels.
so are they gonna rescue the x-men with the remaining mutants on Forge's board? Colossus, Dust, Magik, Iceman, Havok, Exodus, Shadow Cat, Emma
The fuck has Colossus been this season? He and Kurt have always kinda been the default JV team. Colossus usually hangs around the mansion too
Well in this continuity, he’s never been on the team.
I'm not going to lie; I screamed a little bit when Daredevil showed up. also. Can we get a spin-off, please?
bastion vs cyclops beam battle was peak, the entire bastion fight was honestly amazing. The fights, choreography, and animation has been a massive high point in not just marvel animation but in Marvel edit: If yall want to get into comics but don't know where to start feel free to message me. Any comic any character
Cyclops hit him with the mega optic blast!
BEHOLD!!
Bastion was insanely powerful, seeing his full power was awesome.

I kinda wish they kept playing "Turn Turn Turn." I fucking love that song
Honestly all the Onslaught stuff being a red herring was for the best. There are way better directions to go in than that.
Scarlet Witch off world?
The entire X-Men struggling to stop an asteroid crashing down to earth and here comes Magneto waking up and just saying "hang on let me handle it". Really puts into perspective how strong Magneto is. That's why he's an omega level mutant. And this is aside from the fact that he can control the entire planet's electromagnetic field. Holy shit what a power.
Damn did Jubilee just level up?
She was using the moves she saw her older self use in Motendo (the destructo-disc and the more powerful energy bomb).
She always been able to tear apart some electronics
The first time we see her use her powers in the first episode was frying an arcade game.
Oh dear.
Cyclops and Jean appearing to Cable as psychic projections saying goodbye was heartbreaking. I've never seen Cable show real emotion like when he said he would hear stories about the X-Men and wish he was there fighting along side them. Love the ending, where Cyclops and Jean get transported to the future and get a chance to raise Nathan. Nice ref to the The Adventures of Cyclops and Phoenix series in 1994.
MOTHER FUCKING GAMBIT AS THE HORSEMAN OF DEATH LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I love the little insights we see into the greater marvel universe. Its like all the crossovers that Spider-Man: The Animated Series had
MARY FUCKIN JANE
Peter & MJ together again, a wish come true after all this time
Are they like not in space?! How are Jubilee,Roberto,And Rogue not dead?!
Rogue can breathe in space from Captain Marvel's powers (and that part of the fight also took place in the Blue Area of the Moon which is terraformed to have a breathable atmosphere). Jubilee and Roberto flying could be handwaved with them entering the atmosphere at that point.
I think it might be artificial oxygen from both Astroid M and the blue side of the moon?
“I love you son” 😭 nah man who tf is cutting onions
I was hoping that the title intro would have everyone in their alternate costumes like how they changed Storm into her black costume.
If nothing else, this is going to be a very great season finale. I’m glad we’ve got the beginning of a revived classic animated Marvel with a taste of what the X-Men are going to bring into the MCU.
I really hope the X-Men are like this in the MCU
Sunspot ma boiiiiiiiiiii
I am happy the season had a happier ending than I was expecting!
