I just love how all the dialogue has a touch of that 90s shlock without feeling cheesy.

Did anybody else notice Wolverines hand on morph shoulder when he’s talking about Mr. sinister?

[Crooklyn]

It’s funny how Bishop and Cable fight to save the timelines in “Time Fugitives” episodes, only to find Bishop is the one who basically saves Cable when he’s a child

Finally someone else noticed the sailor moon inspired transformation of the Goblin Queen.

15:47 Scott knows - season 3 episode 'Orphan's End'. Corsair crashes on earth, Scott finds out, Storm meets them at the monorail

Making the clone issue a situation where they both believe themselves to be Jean Grey, instead of the "oh she looks just like my dead girlfriend I must fall in love with her" It's just so much better. For starters doesn't make Scott thoroughly unlikeable on the situation, but the added layer of yet another Jean persona questioning who the real Jean is just build on the established character with Phoenix, instead of feeling like a retcon the way Madelyne was ultimately explained.

Yet now I am just so curious where they are taking Maddie now, it could be completely unexplored territory with her being far more... neutral I guess.

What was more crazy is seeing what Jubilee's power actually does to flesh (even if its conjured flesh) lol

[hamhockbeans]

Morph actually programed the danger room schedule to piss off Gambit. No way Rogue and Magneto would do that.😅

This adaptation of the Madeline Pryor/Goblin Queen story arc is honestly FAR better than in the comics. Originally Madeline broke bad not because of Sinister’s influence, but from Scott abandoning her for the real Jean. Which made Scott look horrible because while Madeline is a clone she’s still the mother of his child and their feelings for each other were in fact real. And I loved that in the end Madeline was freed of Sinister’s control and will now live her own life free to do what she wants. It was also a great idea to have their memories merge so that no one knows who was who during when.

Also I loved her costume redesign. Instead of looking like it was designed by a horny teenage boy she looks like an actual witch. And I’m still surprised that the animators made the nightmare scenes look like if Guillermo Del Toro did a remake of The Thing.

It feels like this show was made for people who grew up with the original show. I'm so happy that they leaned into the people who watched it originally and also makes it approachable for new viewers. This show is the best thing Marvel has done in a long time

[minanhaterd]

this series is the best marvel/disney has to offer. This episode is so good, from every perspective. They have done the impossible: make something that is better than the OG series. This is the marvel stories, action, character building that we would like to see....

Jennifer Hale is amazing. The reason why I played Fem Commander Shephard in the Mass Effect series is because of Jennifer Hale. IF you have the games (get the legendary edition, has all 3 and all the dlc) and haven't played as Fem Shephard, then you are missing out.
Also this show is so good and your first initial reaction/review was spot on. I am so excited for the rest of this season. The entire production is knocking it out of the park. Love these reactions, thanks for getting them up as fast as you can especially with all the tech gremlins!

[TimdeVisser]

I also like the fact that Bishop takes Nathan into the future. The fact that they are from different timelines makes comic book canon unnecessarily complicated, and eventually makes Bishop kind of a side character once the 'traitor' storyline is resolved. Making him Cable's mentor makes a lot of sense because of their similarities but I'm mostly excited that they gave Bishop a potentially more central role in future (hehe) stories.

[ItachiUchiha-jvrf]

The Animation was done by Naseer Pasha. The Head of Stray Dogs studio. The same guys that made that amazing fan film Dragonball Legend- A Dragons Tale. Naseer is very 80's and 90's specific when it comes to animation. That's why it looks like it belongs from that era.

[sonicboomkj]

I thought it was MAD hilarious how the 'internet' was like: the real Jean Grey is the one that passes out after using her powers. lmao

[buzzyboy]

This episode confirmed that this is the best version of the Xmen (movies & TV) that we’ve seen.

[scottredding]

The voice actor for Sinister is amazing.

[brandondavis]

There were so many anime and horror inspired scenes in this episode. They really did their homework.

[playlistb]

This Goblin Queen performance really harkins back to my first Jennifer Hale character experience: another spicy redhead, Millenia from Grandia 2.

So I kinda got hit by two waves of nostalgia in this episode.

[kronoel]

Yup, akira and wicked city references are legit. We see you animators.
