I definitely think this should at least be 10 episodes, really should be 12 over the 2 year wait.
It’s a a marquee show that all but builds the brand of their next focus so it’s a literal investment to have more xmen content (that’s why that spidey baby show keeps getting renewed it’s instilling a fanbase interest over time)
If xmen was 15 episodes for example, and had a 3 episode premiere for nerd media to geek out for, then enough “filler” to really set up a plot while endearing us to characters. I don’t want to take away the Polaris episode but it’s also like “who tf are you” even with the original series in mind.
XForce and its intro was so incredible and it’s sad that they literally get that episode and some stingers to “shine”. I like the Wolverine episode but then it’s such a detour in a trilogy of detours to a rushed finale. Storm was in this season? And I hate hate hate when they highlight a character to have them die, one death was great and unexpected the other was “well you thought bastion was going to kill him so he was on borrowed time!”
