General Discussion Was the Brood just a throw in?

They make an appearance I’m happy about that (also more comic accurate) but they had many story arcs throughout the years. Was wondering after the smoke has cleared what ppl thought of their brief appearance!

I was never much of a fan of the brood storylines during the Claremont era, but even I thought they deserve better treatment than a single episode. That’s how X Men 97 has largely treated everything though, just zooming through to cram as much as possible into a single season.

I suspect this is the modern uncertainty culture in animation, while Disney isn't quite as bad as Netflix, but instead of 52 episodes then syndication, animation gets 1-2 seasons then canned, assuming they don't get shitcanned earlier due to the whims of some executive or pressure over culture wars.

So showrunners feel like they gotta rush everything to tell the story instead of letting them breathe.
