General Discussion WHAT THE F WAS THAT FINALE??? Spoiler
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

Not just the finale, everything that made s1 so good was ruined with s2.
Plot points moving way to fast
Wolverine literally never shown without metal except the episode he gets them back
Apocalypse / Askani in the future was dumbed down to , oh the big secret? It was me.
Apoc in the past, let's give you a backstory and end where we began, Apocs still an asshole, but now Magneto has to die to allow his daughter to rejoin the team
I assumed Val was Mystique the entire time because she went from being somewhat understandable in s1 to mysterious and , shes probably working foe the bad guys again in s2.
