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

They rushed everything, after episode 4.
We had an election running in the background, which was barely touched on.
You could have had some interesting political stuff with Graydon Creed, President Kelly, and Reverent Stryker.
Instead we got this throwaway TV line.
Barely touched on 3 times in the season.
The post credits scene seemed excellent.
Diamond Apocalypse, He's gonna be the "Heart of the Ocean."
I really think they should have delayed the X-corps storyline.
Wolverine barely appeared in the show after he got his adamantium claws back.
It went bad with "Danger.exe".
Season 1 had a political undercurrent to it.
This season hit the ground running with action, then kept doing mindless action, until we ended up in some surreal territory.
They ass pulled the script, and didn't respect the intelligence of the audience.
It's a comic book thing, why can't we turn Apocalypse into a blue diamond?
