Apocalypse not Sinister. He'll come back as Death of his Four Horsemen most likely.

Apocalypse has Celestial technology he uses to make the Horseman. Apocalypse used that tech as well to transform Nathaniel Essex into Sinister.

How many of you stood up and cheered when the Wakandan American Inventor King gave a speech about how Americans should be reading textbooks and not bibles?

Finished this. Seemed fine. Almost seemed like it teetered on being a literal sequel to the kids show and an adult version. I'd say it was more a teen version of the show really, which is weird because their audience is now in their 30's and 40's.
Dialogue was kind of shit for a lot of the poignant stuff. Even Magneto, who generally spoke very well, used trite shit like "pig stye" and other weird out of place words in his speeches. Everytime Xavier spoke I thought he was the biggest idiot. I don't remember that from the original, but maybe it was there too. Cyclops definitely was better even though he's being moody 70% of the time. Wolverine had about 15 lines and 10 of them were about killing people. That was appropriate. Nice to see Jean Grey and Storm actually doing stuff rather than getting hit with a brick/debris/random blast and knocking them out during any big fight.
Biggest gripe I have is everyone saying "Look what Magneto did to Xavier's School!" What? WHAT did he do? He saved a bunch of people and was doing a fucking bang up job and then was ELECTED KING OF A COUNTRY HE GOT INTO THE UN when it was attacked by some human mega terrorist who killed him (or so they thought). At what part was him running the school a bad job? I don't get it. Seems like they got lazy with the dialogue and didn't really flush out a good reason for "Magneto Bad". If the X-Men had botched a bunch of missions or killed a bunch of people it might be a good excuse, but it was just like there were 2 or 3 episodes cut where he ACTUALLY poorly managed the X-Men. Most of the bad shit happened while he was literally in handcuffs.
Overall definitely good follow up to the original series. A lot of more boring characters like Cyclops and Jubilee were less spacefillers and more actual characters. I laughed when they gave Cable the new X men uniform because it really did point out how fucking awful the OG Cable outfit was.

Watched this, enjoyed it. The pace is so fast in these episodes and if you stop to consider anything it all kind of falls apart. I feel like they could've taken their time and had S1 climax at Genosha getting rekt with S2 climaxing at the meteor.
Pretty much everything involving Jean Grey and Cyclops is wasted screentime to me. Literally everyone else is more interesting. But at least their bullshit is brief even if they are highly involved throughout.
The comments about the old voice actors are true but I don't care. Granny Rogue is just fine by me.

Don't you know? Magneto trying to bag Rogue the whole season is gay.

He spent half the season floating around wearing nothing but his underwear and the rest of the time his gear was pretty camp looking.

This would get deleted from OF because you're not allowed to restrain four limbs, only two

I guess I barely noticed. Comic books always draw dudes being ridiculous muscular.
