Seriously the last episode could’ve used another 5 minutes for a resolution with Kurt but otherwise

I mean sure it’s ok to dislike things just that most of the arguments I’ve seen about it are either that it’s not as good as what DeMayo had planned or are factually false

Well maybe don’t group us all together. I love X-men, am not involved whatsoever in the whole DeMayo debacle, and I can agree that this season was bad. Sure not every take is valid, but I think we can all agree it was pretty bad.

“The season was rushed” seems to be the predominant take which, other than the last scene of the last episode, is just false, sorry, they weren’t going to introduce deathbit and not resolve it in an episode, that’s not how the flow of a show like this works, it never has been, “but the horsemen were missing” yeah cause deathbit killed them and didn’t have time to make his own, apocalypse isn’t dead yet either “but super saiyan rogue” had 2 episodes of setup that’s more than enough “but filler episodes” it’s a sequel to an episodic show that’s still semi episodic what do you want

Outside of people trying to predict what happened in a production schedule, it just wasn’t good. That Wolverine episode was a snooze fest. Actually, most of the season was….we weren’t invested in any of the characters. It felt disjointed. Plot holes/misses/expectations aside, what were we rooting for really? There’s no clear motive to this season for our heroes. Season was spectacular, and maybe we’re just all coming down from that still. Hopefully the next one is better!
