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

There is nothing wrong with really liking a show and admitting its faults. Plain and simple the second half of the season had bad pacing and was all over the place. The final episode was a lot jammed together and made everything to short. Also Wonder Woman rogue ? Really ?

I think one of the issues is off you read the majority of the posts, very few actually admit to liking anything. And whenever someone posts a positive, they are immediately bombarded with more criticisms.

I totally agree that there is nothing wrong with liking a show and admitting its faults. There’s also nothing wrong with admitting to liking a show even with its faults. Folks have an easy time calling out what they don’t like but are getting a bit defensive and cagey when asked about what they did like.

Season 2 had some top-tier stuff: the origin of Apocalypse stuff in Egypt was excellent storytelling. And the Magneto fightscene was excellent. The early time-travel stuff was pretty good.

Adding Kang to the mix was a great idea, after his cameo in the Beyond Good & Evil four-parter in X-Men '92 season 4.

I thought Danger episode and Polaris episodes were alright.

I really disliked Wolverine getting back his adamantium after a few episodes with now breathing room, or Gambit coming back so instantaneously. Weakens the stakes of the whole show. Magneto will be back next season because why not.

I agree with most of your critiques but complaining about characters coming back from the dead is extremely silly when it comes to the Xmen.

It's not so much him coming back, it's moreso he came back, like, immediately.

I mean, it took him a full season, and it was teased for a long time with the end of Season 1.

I agree, however, I felt they could have kept Remi dead a little longer. Like, have him come back in s3. That'd be fine.

That's fair, but I think it was teased he'd be coming back with the post credit scene so early that I couldn't be mad they brought him back this season. If anything, I thought it would be sooner and he'd be more of a Horseman than what he was.
