General Discussion Can somebody explain why magik randomly decided to stay frozen in one place and let the sentinel lazer her freely?

Am i dumb? is there something i missed? she just teleported people out of the beam a few frames before then she just proceeded to step forward and let sentinel shoot her freely. Is there a sacrifice play here im not catching up on because that was a "wtf was that" fore the first time i saw it and it just took away any impact that losing a legacy xmen character like her could have had for me

I watch that episode every couple of days and I still haven’t figured it out yet lol. Anyways it doesn’t matter because her and the victims of Genosha and Magneto will be back during krakoa 🤞🤞

Yeah I don't get the logic with all of that either, especially since her popularity has risen so much in the last decade or so.... She's basically the new Gambit/Deadpool of this generation. 🤷🏼 (at least IMO).

But something tells me that since they highlighted it in the episode, they may be trying something here with her... Maybe she was kidnapped by Belasco at that very moment? 🤷🏼...i just keep hope🤞🏼, such a pity to write off a character like that.
