When I was a kid, I thought his name was Apoca Lips and he got it because of his weird mouth. I really admired his stylish belt buckle, though.

Who do we think the "he" is referring to when Cabpe says "he is coming" I don't think it's referring to the sentinel so it's probably whoever sent it.

I would guess Apocalypse coming back would be a big hype reveal for a later season, not like they have a lack of cool stuff going on already with what they have established here. i reckon they won't be fully directly adapting any one single storyline from what has happened in comics post original run, they'll just pick and choose aspects from a lot of them and then also add their own little twists on top to keep people guessing a little bit. Synesthesian Fetish posted:Who do we think the "he" is referring to when Cabpe says "he is coming" I don't think it's referring to the sentinel so it's probably whoever sent it. Nimrod would be my assumption, super duper sentinel from the future kinda makes sense to be a thing Cable would know about and fits the context. It's usually either Apocalypse, Sinister or Nimrod when Cable is concerned about it in an X-Men story. They probably won't have the moral of the season be "no, genociding humans IS the answer" so there will probably be a force behind the sentinels that is not just human bigotry (although obviously very much rooted in that). I know they did use him in the original show but this show has already kinda played a bit fast and loose with some aspects of continuity in that regard so I won't discount them doing it again. thebardyspoon fucked around with this message at 18:10 on Apr 11, 2024 |

I don't think it's Nimrod. It's probably either Apocalypse or Bastion.

That's what makes it good so far. Might bite them in the rear end at some point the swiftness at which it moves is one of the biggest strengths. We only have 10 episodes of around 30 minutes length. poo poo has to move.

They've been approved for two more seasons now. They have earned a lot of respect and interest from people. Maybe that means tey can slow it down starting next season.

No, there's no need to slow it down. That's what's making the episodes pop. There are things actually happening! Important things! In every episode! Keep this pace. There are so many stories to draw from you could go at this pace for 7 seasons of 10 episodes and still have stories left over.

Did they do Age of Apocalypse in the original series? Because I would like Age of Apocalypse, please. It's what got me into comics to begin with. Put it in whatever time travel shenanigans, with Bishop, like the original.

Season 4 had a two parter that vaguely adapted it if you squinted hard enough. It used the designs from the Age of Apocalypse X-Men briefly. I believe that Wolverine and the X-Men was getting ready to adapt that in its second season. But most people don't remember that show (it was good!).

Sort of kind of, there was a time travel story where Xavier died before he could found the X-Men. But it wasn't the Age of Apocalypse, it was a dystopia where mutants and humans were at war. e;fb

I hope they don't go back on things too quickly. Magneto has his uuuuhhhh issues with consistent characterisation but him dying protecting the weaker mutants is probably his best and most selfless side. I don't want them to walk it back as "no, not a hero, just a mad old terrorist twat"

LITERALLY A BIRD posted:I am wondering if they intend to do some of the usual Wanda themes with Rogue instead. She's all dressed up in red and has that line about spicing up the rules shortly before both of her most important loved ones are killed and she's left holding the reins of enormous grief and enormous power. I could see Rogue Seeking out Wanda to steal her power to change reality and that becoming House of M. Be kinda cool where she creates a Magneto ruled world where she's his queen and Gambit is alive, but he is aware he's meant to be dead and is all "Cher, Gambit knows this is a lie. Gambit is happy to see you, but Gambit dead. He died how he lived, protecting those he loved the most. Petite, you need to let go" and then we get the No More Mutants bit from Rogue. And then we can get a reverse of the panel of Rogue punching Wanda. People have been saying that this episode proves that Val Cooper is Mystique due to her reaction to what was going on but I choose to read it as she is for the first time, trueling seeing how humans hatred of mutants has manifested, in a apocalyptic genocide of people who weren't hurting anyone, that were just going about their lives, looking for happiness and contentment like anyone else.

I think it's more her reaction to Rogue being asked to be Queen. She seemed very invested in what Rogue's answer was. As Mystique would be, but why would Val Cooper care that much?

I'm talking about the scene where Val Looks up and sees the Kaiju Sentinel just blasting everyone and everything, just murdering any mutant purely for their continued existence. The look she has is "jesus christ, is this how much humans hate mutants?" Also what if we get Wolverine's X force out of this. Because wasn't that why it was created?

I dunno if they'd try that exact same sotry beat again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yecPgWj4jpw Pyro playing Magneto getting vaporized on rewind and laughing is the best thing ever in an X-cartoon, by the way. And you know, I've been thinking a lot about if we'd ever get animated Daken. It could certainly justify Wolverine finally getting something to do in this show. Daken isn't nearly as popular as X-23 but of course she had the benefit of debuting in a cartoon while Daken has been stuck in comics. Even still, there are far less popular villains than him and I could see them thinking they could expand his popularity even more by putting him in a cartoon.
