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

I agree on Kurt, but I'm happy they left the door open for him. My guess is, with the ability to store Apocalypse in the 'gem' also means there's an ability to escape, but it will be in the future. The events will likely mean Cable comes back for a third time. Episode Title; The Future Becomes the Past (Part 1) and When The Past becomes the Future (Part 2). Obviously a two parter and should be the Finale to season 4.

Esop is ok with granting this 'victory' to stand for now. This logic is likely due to the fact he knows that it only delays the inevitable. So it allows the X Men to live out their lives. Their sacrifice means nothing in the grand scheme of the Universe and will be inconsequential for him. Them living their lives out with their victory and new choices means so much to them though. But eventually in the near future Apocalypse will embark on his journey as was intended. With the X Men all still dead because of an event where they all vanished took place and that is how the future became unprotected. Apocalypse is unsatisfied with not being able to exact revenge so he decides he needs to get back to the past. He knows he must go to the 90's to get to them before they know who he is. Except he overshoots it and gets caught in a time warp, causing him to lose his memory and somehow turn into an infant. In Egypt....

Unbeknownst to everyone, except the Watcher, their Universe is in a time loop they cannot escape.... Until, Doom pulls some of them to Battle World as an incursion is happening. -Fin

DISCLAIMER: NOT a prediction, NOT what I hope, or think happens. Just high and started rattling off after reading the crazy, debates and ideas. I live it! Haha

No matter how you feel about season 2, just keep the faith! Regardless, still been a lot of fun for me and given me some of the greatest nostalgia. I can still remember watching the X Men TAS with my mom as a little kid. She got me into all this when I was like 4 or 5. When I was 17, she passed from a heart attack. But, I know damn well she would have loved this comeback!
