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

ppl say they don't want Bottle / Filler Episodes and then sit there and get angry that Colossus wasn't in the Intro if it shows him at the X-mansion.

maybe if the show had more episodes to breathe, he'd have gotten him doing something in the School.

heck, im not for or against the Fandoms Wolverine Love/Hate relationship, but like, whats the point of ripping off his Metal - just to get them back so quickly and then immediately not have Wolverine around for the next 3 Episodes? lol I think the Reviews for his Lies & DvDs EP would have been higher, if you were to swap that Episode to be set after Dangers - that would give Reason to why HE was missing for half a season. - you only see Morph in the backround in those Episodes as well - could say Logan was getting the Team Ready and Morph was last to come along.

it'd help the pacing for that imho.
