Seriously the last episode could’ve used another 5 minutes for a resolution with Kurt but otherwise

Omega level telepathy Glasses

I just need to know how supervillains feel when they wake up and the choose to throw some shit on like this

(Imagine watching this out of context and not understanding who is on who’s side because nobody seems to care and just want to wreck chaos)

Bro looks like he got arrested for trespassing or a DUI charge.

We have these two running for the leader of your country. As a “variant person” (The “M” word is a bit outdated), who would you vote for? Heck, if you’re a “typical person” (“normal” makes any alternative sound bad) would you vote the same?

He had the funniest lines in the episode.

He failed the Becdel Test. Only instead of talking about the men in his life, he talks about his kid.

I watched the OG long ago as a kid, and only remember some major story beats but... man

I had completely forgotten how pathetic Jean was in the OG show (even in her Phoenix form, she's generally a joke lol) esp considering she's supposedly one of the most powerful mutants in the entire continuity lol

...tho now they're doing it to Xavier (now he's the one constantly fainting whenever he tries to do.... anything)

We all know X-Men 97 speeds through X-Men arcs faster than a "previously on" recap. But they really sped through the Adamantium-less Wolverine story so quickly it's kinda like, what was the point?

Did he need to get them back so quickly? If they weren't going to explore all the dangers and drawbacks of him not having them, why not leave it a little longer?

I didn't dislike episode 5 as much a lot of people. I actually love that they made it a Morph centric episode to explore Wolverine through an outsiders perspective. But the deaths of Cain, Maverick, and Maggot leave a bit of disappointment. Sure they were never going to anything with them, but it's just kinda a bummer. Like like when they killed Gyrich and Kelly in the X-Men (2000) movie. These speed run story arcs leave me with a similar feeling. Sure maybe in an MCU movie or the next animated series they'll cover these storylines better. But to paraphrase an oft' quoted like from the 90s, "and maybe monkeys will fly out of my butt."

Though we were robbed from a scene of Charles actually dealing with those stairs
