I've only just watched the intro so far but it shows Apocalypse, Cable, Nightcrawler, and Rogue kissing Gambit through her glove.

Okay holy shit, I just got to the part where Cyclops goes off on the reporter. GodDAM. And before that when Jean kisses Logan! Holy shit!

Seeing familiar faces in Genosha, many of which I don't know the names of.

This has already been a great episode just 12 minutes in.

I am amazed that episode wasn't all just a dream/premonition by Jean. Instead it went hard.

Need to watch it tonight. Though I hope the pacing improves, considering what we got last episode I was disappointed with episode 4 for that reason.

This! That was legit the best xmen animated episode ever! Cyclops monologue on the reporter, the whole relationship between Magneto, Rogue and Gambit, the whole action sequence at the end...holy shit!

Though I imagine this will be fixed by time traveling shenanigans.

oh it definitely will. tbh knowing that kinda takes some of the oomph out of it for me. although there still is potential for there to be some lasting effects, since Cable's "Not again!" or whatever kind of implied that this wasn't his first try at fixing this situation.

I can't believe how hard this show goes especially compared to the original.

Also I'm so glad they dont insert humor and annoying one liners during the dark scenes

As some one who was not a an of the 90s cartoon I was not looking for to this 97 BS. But everyone I know is watching it so I gave it a shot.

Episode 1 - huh, pretty good, I'm surprised
Episode 2 - Well what do you know, still good, am I going to enjoy this?
Episode 3 - HA! I knew it, the first two episode were a fluke, this show is probably going to be crap just like I thought.
Episode 4 - .... OH.... MY.... GOD.... this is some Saturday morning cartoon, this is some dark and gritty straight from Japan Anime. Emotional and Brutal at the same time, plus got give praise the animation was top notch.

God Damn that was good

He got fired right before the show started. Apparently a "very difficult person to work with" and there were complaints about him. He did leave season 2 of the show written at least.

Jesus, this episode goes fucking hard. After episode 2 I didn't think they could match it, but I'm so glad I was really wrong. This is one of the few times I'm ever interested in the love triangle and what makes it work is that a lot of it is tied to their powers and the fact you can understand the dilemna they all are going through. And man the last part of the episode, I'm at lost for words the direction they're taking this show...I fucking hate it but at the same time I'm glad they're not taking the easy route at all. And this is only episode 5, how the fuck are the next 3 episodes ever going to reach this high? This episode was a 15/10, fucking masterpiece.

I am worried they are speed running into the Krakoa arc, a arc where half the X-men had to die and be replaced with clones from the" good old days" because they became insane monsters...I really don't want to see Beast in the show become what he became in the Comics or see the X-men become a Inhuman like cult...

Yeah. I saw it for a second and was like wait, was that him? But then I figured things were about to go south pretty hard. I just didn't expect it to go that hard.

Also, I don't like Scott at all but Jean way over reacted to their situation. She literally broke through to Madeline by telling her that her being a mother is something that can't be taken away. But Scott being a father? That's somehow over the line.

I don't read the comic, so I don't know what you're talking about. With that said I'm kind of scared for some crazy multiverse shit going to kick in because of all the body count. At best I can maybe see some time manipulation on Bishop/Cable's end to change the course of what happens this episode.
