I feel they really stuck the landing in this. Cannot be more excited for the next season.

This was a great season. I didn’t know what to expect when I heard they were doing X-Men 97, but they delivered for me. I was surprised on the amount of storylines they ran through.

Now it looks like an Age of Apocalypse for next season. It seems nice that the AoA comes back to the cartoon since the idea behind the comic storyline was from X-Men TAS ‘One Man’s Worth.’

I can’t wait to see who will all be tapped to be the new horsemen, besides the obvious one. I know someone people have theories for all 4, but X-Men 97 surprised me before.

I wonder if they can fit a House of M (depowering) or the Messiah storylines with Hope.

Before watching this episode I rewatched last week’s episode, ended up enjoying it a lot more on second watch. Guess it was just a mismatch of my expectations and what the episode ended up being, still wish it was paced better.

Really liked this episode, although it did end on bit of an anti-climax. All the build up of tensions between humans and mutants didn’t really get a big resolution of any kind, there was no exploration of fallout from everything that occurred. Maybe they’ll explore that next season.

Was really hoping Madelyne would come back some way, seems like a waste to just have her die after having a whole episode dedicated to her and fleshing her out as a character but I guess having two characters who are basically the same wouldn’t have made sense.

Loved all the action, Rogue going ham was really cool.

Cyclops doing talk-no-jutsu was a bit odd, like Genosha wasn’t that long ago. Didn’t like that but othersise good episode and a fantastic season all in all, I’ll definitely binge it at some point before season 2 starts. Hopefully won’t be a long wait.
