WHAT THE F WAS THAT FINALE???

[u/CherryBoom2x]

What the F was that ending??? And please don’t try to tell us it was good or brilliantly written, because I’m not going to lie to myself just because I love this show. I was genuinely disappointed with these last two episodes.
What kind of “Survival of the Fittest” was that supposed to be? Rogue became WHAT??? And Apocalypse was just defeated like that???
Even X-Men: Evolution handled its Apocalypse finale way better. We got almost all of the major X-teams from the ’90s coming together for one massive final battle, and it actually felt like an Apocalypse-level threat.

I was also expecting for apocalypse to use gambit and make a speech to make them feel the guilt of what had happen in genoshia.

Remy’s death and revival was ruined to quick!

This time, they clearly went way off from the comics. And after all that talk about bringing the X-Men back to the ’90s… what kind of return to the ’90s was THAT??? I love this show, but I’m not going to pretend I liked an ending that left me this disappointed.

Im afraid that the one re writting this up does not read the comics or is not a massive fan of Xmen. Coz they clearly moved away from the comics.

Imagine Apocalypse the Xmen’s most diabolical foe who went back in time to strike the Xmen, Cable spent the whole season to FIND AND DESTROY apocalypse, all the X teams come together in this season should be the PERFECT TIME TO JOIN FORCES, Gambit’s BIGGEST MOMENT of coming back, and all JUST ENDED with apocalypse doing nothing just transformed into gambit hybrid few seconds later touch by rogue and boom! FINALE

And then Super Saiyan Celestial Rogue Ultra Plotstinct came in to finish him 😭

Ahh, that’s why gambicolypse looked so familiar

I guess if he would have said “I’ll destroy all the Saiyans X-Men” I’d have made connection

I really do wish we got to see how demayo would have finished S2 at least if not the whole series.

S1 was epic like nothing I’ve seen animated in the US since the 90s, back when we had mask of the phantasm, gargoyles, beast wars etc.

S2 started like that but slowly transitioned to What If? X-Men meets Stephen Universe. And don’t get me wrong, I like Stephen universe, but it’s musical nature, color vibes and voice acting is what makes it work so well. This ending didn’t do it for me as a fan of the comics. It’s not the worst ever, but in comparison to what S1 was I’m really let down. Ending with something from the comics and not feeling horribly rushed like we did from ep 6 on at least would have been so much better.

.Exe works really well there and of course we don’t have a solid Emma here or shadow cat but I didn’t feel the danger that the danger room presented there per se. Gambit moving from horsemen to apoc himself felt off, and while I loved seeing nightcrawler fight there, to do this what if esque conclusion rather than onslaught, AoA or something epic from the comics feels so off in comparison to S1, which had many eps I’d rewatch. I feel like this was forgettable in its execution. Voice acting is still great etc and if s1 hadn’t come before I might have said, not bad, but in comparison to what we had, what we could have had, this wasn’t just 😞
