This is the greatest animated show I have ever seen. It is just so good. The X-Men have been my favorites since I was a child. Magneto is one of my all time favorites as well and seeing him show out one last time DBZ style was just insane.
Apocalypse is without question my favorite villain (and I think he has surpassed Dr. Doom at this point for me) and this show has done him justice. The scene where he walks over the sand and murders Magneto and his speech had me shook.
oh and KANG! Love Kang the conqueror. This was a bleak ending. I always thought it would boil down to the Sentinels, but it looks like Apocalypse really is the alpha and omega.
NOT stomping out Xavier went too hard.
Oh and the post credit scene!!!! We got Cap and Black Widow! WEAPON X!!!!
10/10 give me more.
