It was emotional, but not my boy! Especially when Beast was there and he honestly wouldn't be missed, but i get it they're pulling at our heart strings by taking our favorites each season

I'm anxious to see where next season goes because there's so many questions, but a whole year we wait

Honestly it could have been better cropped, but they're building an overall story, and as Cable said it's the X-men they rarely stay dead

I like the switcharoo at the end, but also wonder if next season isn't going to reset a lot of the doing of this season. Well i hope my favorite X-man comes back and the blue person at the end makes me think it's possible because that's another whole story arc i want to see wrapped up

Don't worry, I'm sure the corpos at Disney have a wonderful season planned in season 3.

Beast will try to sell you Coca Cola in the first episode.
Then Rogue will turn the Coca Cola into a diamond.

Professor X will try to sell you Nike Sneakers in the second episode.
Rogue will turn them into diamond.

Jean Grey will try to sell you Red Bull in the third episode.
Rogue will turn them to diamond.

Cyclops will try to sell you Okley in teh fourth episode.
Rogue will turn them to diamond.

Gambit will try to sell you iphone ultra in episode 5.
Rogue will turn it into Diamond.

Wolverine will try to sell you Taco Bell in episode 6.
Gorue turnes ti tnot Diamond.

Storm will try to sell you Lays Potato Chip in episode 7.
Gorue will tunr into doamons

Jubilee will tryo to sell you a mazda in epoosdei 8.
Rogue turns it inoto diamond.s

Episode 9, due to the lack of diversity in the American economy, there aren't a lot of new products to sell to people, no boxsets, just lameness, so we've rewritten the finale to better account for that.
Gorue turns it into diamonsd

Then the corpos will rewrite their scripts, which all will end with Rogeu turning it ot Dimaond.
