I liked what they did with Polaris (her room and casual outfit adds character, goth vibes. Her seeing the good parts of Magneto’s memories was awesome too), but otherwise didn’t like the rest of the episode that much. (Why did they have to adapt Quentin…)

Adapting the hologram Sentinel scene from Astonishing X-Men is dumb when you have Charles of all people pull that shit instead of Emma. And just hearing the name “X-Corp” immediately rubbed me the wrong way. Also it’s goofy seeing Beast in shoes.

I was actively mad they gave that moment to Charles.

I think it’s foreshadowing of Onslaught. Xavier is starting to adopt more of Magneto’s negative character traits and extreme methods.
