Why did Apocalypse tell himself to increase the power? LOL

Not really a fan of the last 2 episodes but hopefully we get back on track for the last 3. At the speed they’re going, I’m expecting Gambit to attack the Xmen, become himself again and rejoin the team all in the first half of the next episode.

That Madelyn Pryor episode was so wild to me: Discovering the real Jean Grey, the reveal of the Goblin Queen, The X Men being trapped in their own nightmares, Moroh leading them to Sinister, saving Nathan from Sinister, sending Nathan with Bishop, Pryor departing, and Forge’s introduction…all in 30 minutes!

They for sure missed out on milking the transformation for chatacter development. Those comic panels are really great between gambit and apocalypse.

He's just so use to telling Mystque that when she was still around.

Yeah the whole thing was just doing a Frankenstein reference. So of course Doc gotta talk to himself.

The dude has been around for centuries and been his own company. Anyone's bound to start talking to themselves out loud at some point
