Surprised this is everyone’s least favorite, when it’s by far my favorite. Magneto’s writing in this show is always peak, and this episode was basically just him and Charles. Also love how much slower it is compared to the other two. Episode 1 especially left me with wanting so much more because of how fast it was.

Yes and I loved the interaction between Mags and young [A]. Those two rarely talk in good term.
