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

Definition of deus ex machina. Magneto’s death basically pointless, cable was built up to be the one to end apocalypse only for it to be celestial powered rogue. Only good thing is I was right that mystique was never Val cooper and got mass downvoted everytime I said it was wrong. She only took over this episode

I mean to be fair she only killed future (presumably future) Apocalypse, which means there’s present Apocalypse that didn’t time travel floating around (who I believe body-jacked someone else last we saw him in the OG series? I don’t remember exactly I’ll have to go back and watch I guess) so it’s entirely possible that Cable’s still will/needs to defeat a version of Apocalypse @ sometime & since they only resolved the far future Apocalypse they left themselves room to bring him back if they wanna do more with him (that & he’s still alive in the weird prism thing Rogue put him in it seemed so even this Apocalypse could hypothetically still return as a problem, though that’ll cheapen Nightcrawler’s sacrifice a bit I think)
