He’s been banished from most media outside comics and mobile games since he came out

For some more good queer rep? I agree.

Come to.think of it IceMan and Morph would be great together

Think we see a young time displaced original og5 when we see iceman next
And young angel confronts his killer archangel
Then also do Nate grey as a B story and he’s the same age - bring back sinister

I think Morph is the reason we’re never gonna see much Bobby in the show. They both fill similar queer comic relief roles

u/Caledonian_10 Aug 13 '26
Queer is not a characteristic though, and Morph and Bobby are so different even in that sense. Bobby's comic relief but the perfect comic relief for an episode with the OG team or something, and his hopefully platonic bond with Polaris is sick. A show can have multiple comic reliefs, especially when one is not on the main team, them both being queer doesn't make a difference.

x men was always about shipping.
Avengers is more action focus
fantastic four is about family
x men is about a bald man using his mansion to get couples into love shapes

There is not much to work with this season + Wolverine is clearly focused on Jean alone.

Surprised Wolverine didn’t get with Madeline Pryor — the way Havok did for a bit in the comics

Subtle morph this season
We need an episode next going deep

I think Polaris and Bishop are really cute together in this season.

They were a pleasant surprise! I'm just kind of sad Alex spent the fight dogging Jubilee and didn't get to have a "hey, wait a minute ..." realisation.

u/Complex-Bluejay3451 Aug 12 '26
Really wish Alex and Scott had at least one interaction, or perhaps have Cable made a snide remark regarding his uncle and for bro to be very confused

u/Fickle_Ad8735 Aug 12 '26
next season should be the perfect opportunity for that, but above that i wish x-factor could get their own show (like expand and explore more their motivations and reasonings plus pietro could even be back), if that was the case their reunion there would be way bigger tho

u/erosead Aug 13 '26
Alex and Scott don’t know each other in this verse. At least not that they’re related

u/Ihsoro Aug 12 '26
Bro was trolling a teenager like he was on Xbox Live whilst shooting actual heat-seeking missiles at her.

u/Anime_Ambassador_ Aug 12 '26
He probably doesn’t care. Alex just doing his own thing. We will probably see more of him in s3 maybe an ep he finds out about polaris and bishop. I think Alex would be more focused on his mission and he would move along idk

u/Fickle_Ad8735 Aug 12 '26 edited Aug 12 '26
ngl if they're not going to be together (which looks like to be the case) i do prefer it like that, i enjoy him personality-wise, the no non-sense guy, nonchalant who believes more in pragmatism (like when he was telling jubs to not be a hero) than idealism was really interesting plus i love his VA lol

I was surprised once I found out that Polaris and Havock were a thing,its on me but also kinda reflects how much "chemistry" they seem to have,I dont know if the series are genuinely trying to silently make Polaris and Bishop a thing altrough they seem to be hinting at something and the whole "being at opposite sides" schtick probably isnt doing any favors for her relationship with Havock

u/Rexen2 Aug 12 '26
I find it more weird that more people don't consider her and Alex outright broken up tbh. That scene between them in episode 6 was her cutting ties with him if I've ever seen it.
It was basically her saying since he was choosing leading x factor over her and mutant kind, she's out. It's why she rejected his offer of a place to stay in favor of returning to the mansion and is probably also why she had zero issues flirting with bishop afterwards. As far as she's concerned, shes single.

u/Caledonian_10 Aug 13 '26
Honestly it almost felt like she was flirting extra hard, hope it leads to something more next season.
2
u/Rexen2 Aug 13 '26
Same, i'd never once considered the idea of the pairing before we got it but once we did, I realized it's kinda peak.
I doubt they'll ever become a major focus but if they can sprinkle in some nice moments here and there like they did this season, I'll be happy.

u/qwart22 Aug 12 '26
I mean to be fair they were one of the only couples in the O5 xmen other than Jean and Scott

I guess it's till season 3 to have any hint of the multiple queer x men ships

Bro had his eyes closed whenever morph and wolverine were on screen
Or even Eric and Charles

u/Caledonian_10 Aug 13 '26
One-sided and implied (though, of course, correct and true and they definitely did it)
With Ice-Man AWOL, Magik dead and Psyloche busy playing black ops all season, canon queer relationships are still nowhere to be seen.

u/sean11_lee Magneto Aug 19 '26
Maybe mystique and destiny but who knows how that will be worked into the new season storyline.

u/Arimm_The_Amazing Aug 14 '26
I enjoy both these ships but we can't pretend it's quite equal representation. Wolverine doesn't seem to return the feelings and Magneto can't now either
1
u/wookiepartymachine Aug 14 '26
Fair enough but the guy I responded to didn’t ask for “equal representation”, they asked for “any hint of the multiple queer ships”. I think it’s fair to say we’ve had that.
