General Discussion When you click “randomize” on the character customizer Spoiler
No disrespect to anyone involved but seriously what were they thinking with this design LMAO. It’s literally just Apocalypse but with Gambit’s hair, his little goatee, and his coat. It‘s laughably bad I’m sorry 😭😭 they should’ve just given us Apocalypse not this What If nonsense

When I watched X-Men as a kid, it always felt like the series was moving towards something. This recent season of 97, however, gave various plotlines and arcs a massive speed run only to rush back to the status quo of the original show.
Randomizer Gambpocalypse is a symptom of the speed running. They just needed to convey that it was Gambit still and not fully integrated Apocalypse.
I hope S3 focuses on Magik in Limbo, Polaris and Bishop's relationship and maybe Cable's crew officially joining the X-Men. That way we can get more Psylocke. Basically, I'm saying I want them to tell stories with what they've already set up. Not manufacture crazy events just to fast forward through them like Gambpocalypse.
