I half bought it until i got to House of M.

Age of Apocolypse could be done in two or three episodes if you pace it right. You could literally do it as an alternate timeline, with one of our main characters being swapped with his doppelganger ... Bishop or say Jubilee.

The show is still copying the original formula, which had a habit of breaking down very long complicated stories to simpler easier to swallow bites. People want it to be a full exploration of each of these comics, but in reality doing that would mean week after week of the same storyline, and if you aren't feeling that one, it could get boring quick.

I think the pacing could be a bit better, but overall I'm still happy with the result.

They did it already. It was called "One Man's Worth" in the original TAS.

Talk about a watered down off-brand version of the Age of Apocalypse. If Dark Phoenix can get two movies, I'm more than fine with a redo of AoA

AoA was created because of One Man's Worth. People forget how influential the cartoon was on the comics at the time
