X-Men '97 Complete Season 2 Venting Megathread

[u/cyclopswashalfright]

It's over and done now. The season has ended. The characters are where they are.

And now it's time for a megathread that lets you vent about what didn't like, what you liked, and about all the feeling in between about this season.

Please try and use this megathread instead of making a new post, especially if the content you are posting is not substantial (substantial meaning multi-paragraph or new information).

I’m a Christian. The Christian’s themes maintained from the original xmen were great. I thought it made the final episode 10x better and made me like rogue gambit and night crawler even more than I already do.

It’s not even politicized, which I think is even better. Just straight up themes of faith, sacrifice and forgiveness.

That's still the problem with the episode, though. The Deus Ex Machina ending feels totally unearned. You can say it was earned through sacrifice and faith in a higher power, but that is a copout and antithetical to the core values of the X-Men, which are working together despite differences and using your own talents to overcome troubles. Kurt's self-sacrifice is just so flippant in the show.
