I'm enjoying the show but everything feels quite sudden and out of nowhere. Where is the huge episodes spanning arc? Bam episode 3 and Jean Grey is a clone, bam next episode RIP Gambit, next episode Professor X is alive! Etc

It's very much like the original, in that sense. Edit: The longest arc it had was 5 episodes, I think.

Exploration is ill-advised.
We're all used to Surf Dracula bullshit and comics have been doing that even longer, it throws us to see actual poo poo happening without hours of faffing about

You can't pull rank on murder.

:lol: This is my first encounter with Surf Dracula and wow, that's accurate.

I swear some 90's comics had to do something major every issue. Introduce a new character, kill a character, revive a character, etc.

Pretty lol that they spend so much time setting up a big rear end galactic trial for Professor X only for him to nope the gently caress out at the last moment and be all “nooo my x-men” (episode 6 spoilers)

I love that it basically had Charles decide to turn the tables and give both friends and enemies a literal lesson in Imperialism 101 before rage quitting. Funny thing is, the Empress's crazy sister is right about at least one thing that his loyalties are clearly divided, and as long as he has ties to Earth and his students he isn't fit to be part of ruling a space empire.

Also lol that Gladiator is so very clearly Superman, even having similar animation and mannerisms to a lot of depictions of Superman in how he uses his powers.
The whole space empire angle is interesting, since both blatantly and subtly they're clear about the contradictions and questionable morality of the whole affair, and how the romantic angle (in a few senses) blinds both the characters and audience to them until they come to a head.

Technically Superboy, all the Royal guard members are based on Legion characters

Like goddamn this show came back at just the right time unfortunately, that Genosha speech hit way too close to home.

Weak people spend 10 dollars to gift titles about world leaders they dislike. The strong spend 10 dollars to gift titles telling everyone to play Deus Ex again
As someone who watched the original horribly animated cartoon eating cereal on Saturday morning seeing Wolverine finally get to do something really cool with his claws was pure catharsis. Also, Spider-Man!
