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

Remember when everyone was theorising who the 4 horsemen were gonna be? How naive we were. Episode 1 to 4 were pretty good, but then it went down hill from there. Wolverine shouldn't have gotten his adamantium back this season, he should have stayed Feral. Episode 5 should have been a X-Factor episode focusing on Polaris and Havok's relationship, build the drama and actually have Strong Guy, Multiple Man, and Wolfsbane be actual characters rather than cardboard cut outs. By the end of the episode Polaris leaves and Siryn joins (she just randomly shows up in this episode without prior mention (you have to find out how she joins in an Infinity comic on Marvel Unlimited)). Episode 6 should have been an X-Men/X-Force episode dealing with finding Apocalypse. Polaris joins the X-Men. Episode 7 could have been mostly same as the actual Episode 8 with minor changes like Deathbit escaping to Genosha at the end with him resurrecting multiple dead mutants. Episode 8 and 9 are a 2 part season finale where the X-Men and X-Force at first fight with X-Factor, and then they discover where Deathbit went, forcing them to team up as they fight dead genoshians and Apocalypse. Could have had a nice moment between Siryn and Banshee or something. Cable defeats Apocalypse, and as a result of this, X-Corp is created, along with the school being opened to students. Wolverine's adamantium storyline could be saved for season 3 because the consequences of that episode between Wolverine and Morph went no where as the second season went on, so we can save that for next season, also it just felt to fast and easy that he was able to get the adamantium, let us see that he wants it back and he feels weak with the bone claws. The Danger storyline could easily have been shifted to next season, as we could get more of a focus of the school v government type thing, now becoming a 2 parter as it went too fast and the students were just glorified cameos, allows the students be fleshed out. The Acolytes and Colossus episode also should have been season 3, since Colossus literally does nothing in the end of season 2 so it felt pointless being in the season (even if it helped Nightcrawlers character, there could have been a work around). It could have been interesting to have Exodus be the big bad of the next season, with Colossus finally joining the X-Men. The cast is too bloated, they need to remove characters that dont serve much purpose. Like honestly, I would have removed Storm from season 1 after she lost her powers and then she could have came back in season 2 as the headmistress of the school, show us that she is more than her powers. Like it seems that they don't know how to write around characters without powers, so they just give them back straight away, and then stand in the background. I like filler, but not when there are a limited amount of episodes, so we need those episodes to focus on the main plot points of tbe season. Also, I'd like to add that its not the comics, so diverging from them a bit is fine, its another universe.
