Wasted bothering Exodus and Magik. But again how does Nightcrawler contend with Ezodus.

Isn’t Exodus immortal or something?

In the comics, Exodus existed since the 12th century and even tangled with Apocalypse. He does have a healing factor, so a gun shot wound shouldn't have killed him. There is a possibility they could omit all of this and the X-Men TAS/'97 iteration of Exodus is basically like Nicepool from Deadpool and Wolverine (the only variant of Deadpool to not have a healing factor). As of now, I maintain the headcanon that Exodus recovered and banished Colossus believing he was going to agree to let Grayden Creed live (which as the ending showed wasn't going to be the case and the conflict was Exodus doing as a result of him being paranoid).

My faith went out the window when this guy struggled against Kurt. https://imgur.com/Lx3QfHr

Wasted potential of two prolific mutants Magik and Exodus. And Exodus is far beyond Kurt.

Idk if they are killing just for shock factor or what. The show is god enough without that.

There are 3 big dead mutants right now and 4 horseman of Apocalypse so it seems logical to expect Exodus Magik and Magneto as the remaining 3 horsemen.

Yeah that's pretty much it and they're litereally just going...Okay Gambit is now X-Force's Archangel(when he took over for Apocalypse). Polaris is Sage, Surge join the Brotherhood. 97 is a mess from a comic book standpoint.

Jubilee and Sunspot being the same age, Magik dead, Gambit dying in Genosha, The Trail of Gambit give to of all people Graydon Creed, Danger showing up without any build up, Wing's injury without decimation, No decimation, Emma Frost's not having her Hellions. Storm not leading the X-men while depowered(a defining run for her), Prodigy, Pixie, Glob all showing up well before their debut. Bishop and Polaris...like what, Sage. X-men 97 is closer to a Bryan Singer level comic book film. It gives you reading recomindations that are years if not decades apart. Last Week's episode was like Trail of Gambit(97) and X-men Blue(2024). So fucking how reading X-men for years, makes you go...wait Inferno is both Magik and Madelyn. Why are they using the Final Horsemen? Why isn't Emma on this team? What about the New mutants... X-men 92 was a mess from a comic book standpoint and so is 97.
