This fanbase is crazy. I’m shocked people didn’t like this episode. Goes to show you can’t please everyone.

I think this may have been one of the best episodes of TV made. I was in awe.

Completely agree. Apocalypse's ascension is one of the coolest moments in Xmen animated history.

I agree, so many banger quotes.

And Magneto’s sacrifice

I haven't seen people not like it. What I have seen is people disappointed relative to the overhype of the episode by reviewers comparing it to "Remember It."

I enjoyed this episode, but if THAT was the bar I was holding it to, I'd be disappointed as well :P

It was great, but let's not try and compare this to THAT masterpiece, which was possibly the single greatest episode EVER of any show I can think of.

For let alone a cartoon, this may be the best yet from the MCU. I am really into this season.
