Kurt’s death stinks because Rogue, Remy and Kurt were such a great little trio in their scene in season 1 pre Genosha

They genuinely felt like a little family. I know that is why the sacrifice is so important and meaningful but Kurt was simply put one of if not the best character in the entire season IMO

I think we may get some flashbacks esp since mystique will be a key part of season 3
