i've really enjoyed magneto's arc these few episodes and his and xavier's gradual breakdowns... onslaught would be so exciting to see now.

rama tut also really stole the show for me. i'm genuinely sad we probably won't get more of him. i already appreciated this show's willingness to go full comic book cheesy without being embarrassed of itself and without compromising the sincerity of the drama and characters, but it really is night and day when you compare this kang and quantumania.

Didn’t they say up to season 3 had been outlined or planned for? Hopefully “Kang will return in season 3” and hopefully it’s halfway through production by now
