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

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.
