This show keeps knocking it out of the park with every episode.
Those final few scenes with Valerie Cooper describing what many feel when watching the news along with Bastion's apathy speech hit hard. It's crazy how an 5 hour long animated series is able to easily capture what Fox was trying to do for 2 decades.

This episode also has my favorite quote from the season with the Wolverine/Nightcrawler banter.
Can't believe Dr Doom sided with Bastion, that little bitch! Seeing the power fail, and Omega Red waking up, that was awesome.

Yeah, that was weird. I didn't expect Doom to be okay with potential sleeper agents in Latveria.
Im just going to assume the Trask sentinel in the prior ep was likely just built better if the X men suddenly are taking on dozens of them in the very next ep.

Ahhhhhhhhh another banger of an episode!! So damn good! Every scene makes you feel for the characters and the story.
SEXY SEXY!
I was waiting for the twist that Val Cooper the entire time was Mystique, with that monologue she was doing, but I'm kind of glad it wasn't. It just shows that even she agrees that Magneto's way, while not preferred, is the most "practical". I wonder how Xavier is going to react to all of this, this season has been amazing so far. Episode 4 was the only episode so far that felt pointless, but there's nothing wrong in having fillers either.
DI MOLTO!
When did Juggernaut show up?

I've got the same problem every single time despite being very familiar with them from Exiles. Always takes at least a minute or so before the brain goes "duh, Morph"
Man I love that man Magneto lmao. Dude's insane.

Same, happened last episode when Quick Silver just popped up out of nowhere before a couple seconds later I go, "Oh, it's Morph.".
DI MOLTO!
Man, this show has been so good

how did Morph mimic Juggernaut's powers, though? Juggernaut isn't a mutant
It don't matter. None of this matters.

They can transform into anyone and mimic their "physical attributes" and I guess that includes their voice as well. They just can't do stuff like Cyclops optic blast or Xaviers Telepathy.
DI MOLTO!
Pretty sure Spider-Man's cameo here confirms they're gonna do a revival of his animated series too.
I have nothing else to say

Morph not turning into Jean when the real one showed up was a missed opportunity.

Doom likely already figured out how to override the nanites that create the Prime Sentinels.

He sure wasn't unstoppable. The prime sentinels were stronger so I say no.

I do wish that we had more time with Magneto as a good guy, he only was" the leader" for like two episodes before he's radical again...the problem when your rushed for time. But Spiderman plus Onslaught hype is real.

Same, this series would've benefitted with some more "fillers" seeing as how character heavy driven this show is. But with what they were given, I'm honestly impressed what they were able to handle.

I dunno if he's "radical". The mutants had their backs to the wall and he didn't really have a choice.

Chuck's back though, so seems things will go back to "normal" now, with him and Magneto butting heads after this whole debacle is over.

We didn't see it, but Jubilee and the other guy are probably free now, so looking forward to seeing the whole gang back together.

Hope there's a season 2 to this; they're doing a bang up job with this series.

I think they alluded to doing something like that. Beast's casual mentioning of Kamar Taj indicates that the series isn't afraid to mix in other comic series, I think we're going to be getting a few other reboots besides Spiderman.

It was nice to see Sunspot finally be useful for once. I wanted to like him from the start, but he's been totally useless. It especially showed in episode 4.

Anyway, it was great to see Magneto rock Bastion's world. I hope Charles isn't too preachy about peace in the next episodes.

Fox made made a lot of people see the x men a "generic action superhero" franchise when the social aspect is so important in that franchise

Loved the Spider-man cameo. Also loved the "Wasserman's" storefront cameo in the mall. Ron Wasserman was the one who created the X-Men TAS opening theme (as well as the MMPR theme).

At one point MJ disappeared and replaced with a water based clone, like Hydro. Her body destabilized and died. At one point Madame Web tells Peter that the real MJ is still alive, just in another dimension. In the final episode, after the whole spider carnage thing, MW told Peter she was taking him to find MJ right before the credits rolled. Since Fox cancelled it we never got the payoff for that.

Would be funny if in the next ep Xavier was just like "aight Magneto have at it" then dips back out to space to get laid.

I thought Spiderman Unlimited was sort of suppose to be a follow up? Well...that failed hard.

If it DOES get its own show it has to be in the contract to never do One More Day I suppose.

Spider-man unlimited is kinda. An odd duck because from what I have heard its production got really screwed up when the Sony/marvel deal to make the Raimi spider-man movie got signed and heavily restricted what they were allowed to use for the series

i mean one of the restrictions is they couldnt adapt and traditional Spider-Man stories and couldnt use the classic red and blue costume, hence why he got the costume he did and why the story had him going to counter earth and had the high evolutionary as the villain

I tried that one. It had zero connection to the previous series. I didn't even make it through one episode before dipping. Got the point where I'd just set the VCR to record Digimon then sleep in on my Saturday.

Yeah, I got giddy about that cause this show has done a good job of making people look awesome. I don't see him coming out and looking like a punk ass jobber. Omega Red is one of my favorite characters.
Rage is a hell of an anesthetic.
I am not a fan of Spider-Man the animated series. I feel that each season was worse than the last and by that final season cliffhanger I had no interest at all in seeing it resolved. By the whole Hydro-Mary Jane thing I was done with that mess.

Spider-Man Unlimited was quite decent tbh. If you get over the fact that it isn't a continuation of TAS despite being marketed as such it's actually a neat little show that didn't get enough time to truly shine IMO. There's quite a bit of setup for later episodes that they were never able to truly deliver on. And that costume is just awesome along with its entire concept for Green Goblin.
You know what really sucks about this series? That it eventually going to end.

I'm saying it. This is the best thing on TV right now.
