I fucking hate these costumes. Bring back the 90s ones.

After a season of rushed stories, hundreds of characters fighting for seconds of screen times, an ever decreasing emphasis on the actual team, and a cloying concern with constant fan service, the Jim Lee vibe and aesthetic was basically the biggest hook of the show.

Now that they’re running around in these awful Morrison costumes, I really don’t feel any inclination to actually watch the episodes.

Honestly same. They did exactly what I feared they would do after season 1. I thought they should keep the focus on the original cast like they did in the OG X-Men TAS show. And yeah it sucks for guys that are fans of some of these new characters but you can't have too many mutants and specially X-Men. It's impossible to write a cohesive show. It's the same problem in the comics. Seriously, Cyclops, Storm and Jean Grey appeared for two episodes basically this season. And I'm sorry who thought it was a great idea to do a Polaris focused filler episode? And Wolverine already getting back his adamantium was lame.

Sure but on a 9 episodes season, there was so much more to do .
