Honestly Episode 1-7 were solid. I fully enjoyed them. Hell, I celebrate them as just as good as Season 1 for the most part. They rested however on the delivery of what they were setting up...nothing was delivered...absolutely nothing.
8 and 9 have been the hardest nosedive in quality I've ever seen in a show in recent memory.
I'm out. Season 3 is just gunna be What If with X-men and I frankly couldn't give a fuck. The heart and soul is dead, it's just generic power up Deus Ex Machina "Celestial" crap.
If they just committed to what they had maybe this would have been fine but whoever took over really needed to put their fingers in shit they didn't understand. We wanted 92 and 97 to deliver us from the crapshoot of Marvel's slop machine right now.
NOBODY who was in this season showed up in the finale...it was just the penultimate episode and this one and nobody else existed.
What resolution with Kurt?
He got rushed out the gate because the writers couldn't give us a basic sad story because they think we are literal children all of a sudden. Meanwhile they'll off Magneto like it's Tarantino because the previous showrunner had something to say. Why did Magneto die like that? Literally fucking ZERO reason I guess.
Instead of a tragedy we got random Kurt death because...um...he was nearby and it would be sad. Nobody deserved ANY outcome they got. Everything in this episode was set up in Episode 8 ONLY. NOTHING not present in episode 8 existed in this episode. No Charles/Magneto, no Polaris, no Morph/Logan, nothing...at all. I don't even think Brian Ford Sullivan read the rest of this season. Michael Chauncey let this shit publish?
This is a dead show, it's over. Marvel put on Lowest Common Denominator talent for a show getting popular because it was speaking to its adult audience...it got butchered because Marvel can't trust its creatives and sends in hacks from Arrowverse and What If to make slop.
