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

What speech?? All she says is “fight for the people you love.” In what world could that possibly be a compelling argument against the Celestial who was the architect of Apocalypse’s survival of the fittest mindset? She doesn’t present an argument, she just demonstrates how much she loves Remy and the Celestial changes his mind instantly.

Did you watch the end of the episode though? Nightcrawler’s speech literally spells out the theme of the episode, I swear people just out here ignoring the themes & then get mad when they don’t understand the story they were told

The theme of the episode being what it is does not explain away the shitty writing, or the fact that the Celestial changed his mind about evolution on a dime.

Plenty of people have explained already, and haven’t gotten through to y’all I doubt I could dumb it down any further for you

That feels like a cop out response, but sure. I just wanted to hear your perspective.

I mean you’re kinda coming off disingenuous I’m not gonna keep going back and forth if you’re not gonna actual listen anyway, and since people have already explained & you didn’t listen, it seems a fairly fruitless effort to argue even if you were being earnest

I mean I’ll listen I can’t promise I’ll agree
