Agreed, I watched the finale again and when they deliver with the emotional beats/moments, they really hit hard. Hoping that follows through in season 2.

I thoroughly enjoyed the finale, even though I think they rushed some stuff considering where we left off last week and not everything made sense(Jubilee can breathe in space? lol) but gonna overlook it because they gave me so much I loved. So many characters got awesome moments. The series really did justice to Cyclops. I love the way they write his power, and the visuals are just so cool. Then the scene of Him and Jean with Cable, got me in the feels. So good. Show is making me want to read more Cable comics too. I swear I feared so much for Kurt's life when he was fighting Bastion so glad it was just a cool teleporting fight scene and nothing more. Rogue with the Gambit lines? Felt so right, whiplash with her writing but I'm letting it go because I loved it and her kicking ass in his name. I even liked Sunspot and Jubilee! I feel like you can really tell the show runners love writing for Magneto, every episode is on point for him. Overall it was a pretty satisfying end to a pretty satisfying season and I can't wait for season 2. I hope its not years in between seasons.

Same! They can dangle some threads for the next season, but I'm gonna need some sort of conclusion! Really hope they do. I dont even care how. I feel like the only one that even cares he is gone is Rogue. I know this show moves fast but its like out of sight out of mind for everyone else. Charles words just seemed kind of hollow. Then again they keep having to save the world every episode so....but still give me some emotional beats!

This was the first episode for me that while there were a lot of cool moments, it felt rushed, plot pointy and sloppy. Like we needed more time to breath and earn certain moments. The end with fight on the asteroid, cool as hell to see. Between Xavier going at Magneto, to Wolverine stabbing him and then Magneto with the Adamantium? Awesome, that whole sequence was awesome. But if Magneto didn't do what he did last episode (whether you believe he was right or wrong), wouldn't all the x-men be kind of dead right now? Cause they were not fairing well against the hybrid sentinels at all? Kind of whip lash that first instinct is Magento's gotta die. Almost wish he was saved until the next episode so it didn't feel so rushed. I love Rogue(seeing her wearing gambit's jacket *sniff*) and I see the arc they are attempting with her but in this episode that execution wasn't great. Her attitude fits the plot point of the moment. She was comforted by Nightcrawler and the x-men (her family) in Mexico, what two episodes ago? Today she is all, I'm with Magneto. I get it what they are going for but again not liking the execution. How do they not have Storm mention anything about Gambit's death? She talks about how horrible the mansion looks and how horrible it might be for other people out there but not mention that one of her good friends is dead? Maybe I'm basing this more on comics but I thought the original TAS included their friendship and this was sorely lacking for me. Jean however, had an awesome episode. Loved seeing her go toe to toe with Sinister, but did she just get killed again? Then having Scott blast Xavier, made zero sense. I mean it was needed to get to the Adamantium removal but still didn't make a lot of sense. Sorry this was kind of all over the place. Curious to see how they finish everything next week!

Another great episode. Loved Jean, Scott and Cable together. Kurt as always is amazing, he always says the right things and Wolverine and Kurt kicking ass at the mansion? Awesome. Everyone gets their moments and I love that. Only ones I struggle with at times are Jubilee and Roberto, I feel bad for the kid but if he wasn't on the show I'd be fine with it. I know Sinister said the human let Magneto go but I still feel like Val Copper could be Mystique. Just something seems off. I feel like the Magneto was right line makes more sense from her. I'm going to be so sad when this show is over.
-
I know its not everyone's cup of tea but the action scenes for me are just awesome to watch. When Scott blasted Trask at the end, it just looked so cool and Jean getting to show off the skill set too was perfect. Nice to get an episode to feature how bad ass Rogue is tho I did see some had issues with how far she went. I was ok with it. I love Nightcrawler, I just do and his eulogy was so on point for Gambit and loved that he was there to comfort Rogue. This show is enjoyable but it also causes me stress every week, curious to see where it all goes from here.
-
I'm so grateful for this show. It's giving the characters I loved the respect and moments they deserve. First Cyclops and now Rogue and Gambit. I've always loved both Rogue and Gambit so seeing them fighting together with such cool animation was perfect. Also loved how they highlighted and fully realized Gambit's power, he has always been so bad ass. Plus I got some Nightcrawler. Now I just need Cable to fix this. So wish Disney would release all their episodes at once, I hate the waiting lol. Also the Voice actor for Magneto is so good with all his deliveries.

I really, really enjoyed this movie and wish I would have seen it in the theater. It was probably awesome on the big screen. I think I had a smile on my face the entire movie that got bigger and bigger with each little nod to the game. Made me remember when my brothers and I would play all day. SR's voice kind of grates to me so I didn't really care for him as DK but otherwise I really had no issues. "Sit, jam with me." Loved it.

This movie had me stressed from go. Shed a few tears, sad and happy and ultimately was satisfied with the conclusion. I've grown attached to these characters, was really invested in their outcomes and they didn't disappoint. This movie also really highlighted how much of a family the guardians became/are (except I guess this Gamora, tho I think she came to appreciate their love for each other) and I thought every character had standout/noteworthy moments. Loved the fight scene towards the end to the Beastie Boys. The High Evolutionary was a good/worthy villain and the actor did an amazing job. I think in someone else's hands it could have just been OTT scenery chewing but he was very good. Now that I know what happens I think I'd like to watch it again without being so stressed the entire time!

By episode two I already figured out who they were setting up for the big bads and the goth harry potter vibes were hitting hard so I kind of lost interest. My sister did watch and was disappointed with the series finale but found the season watchable. I might try to give it another go but it did make me go watch the 90's movies tho!
-
Same, I didn't even know it was a series! I really enjoyed this movie because the chemistry between the leads was very good. My one issue was Madelyn dropping the guy. I mean the way the wrote it with him knowing it wasn't going to workout was nice but why even have him at all? I just felt bad for the dude. Otherwise this was a pretty good one.
-
What I think was really quite cool is that even though I knew all the characters I loved were going to live, they some how still made me nervous and on edge while watching. I kept telling myself 'they live, relax' 😄. They really did deliver.

I loved everything about this episode. Obi Wan verse Vader was awesome. EM is just so good. Had me tearing up at times. I'm so glad we got little Leia, and I'm grateful for the Leia and Obi Wan relationship I didn't know I needed. I had such a blast watching this series. Its funny on father's day we had a big family bbq and every was asking/talking about this show and if we all were watching it lol.
-
Those last scenes with Vader taking down the ship and fighting Reva were just really, really fun to watch. Ned-B shielding Tala was such a sweet moment. Wasn't super attached to Tala, I liked her but figured it was only a matter of time before she died and she went out like a boss. Very enjoyable episode.

I love Obi Wan and Leia. I didn't know I needed to see this relationship unfold but I love it. Love them together and individually. Like said above this was a little bit of a filler episode but still enjoyable for me. I look forward to it every week.
