X-Men '97 Review Ep 7 Bright Eyes | Marvel
X-Men ’97 episode 7, Bright Eyes review! On the menu: grief in all its forms, Roberto’s coming out, Emma shines bright like a diamond, Jean & Scott together again, Rogue’s rampage, and flying purple people eaters!
'Bright Eyes' written by Charley Feldman and JB Ballard and directed by Emi Yonemura. Grief takes on many forms as the X-Men are left cleaning up the wreckage of the Sentinal attack on Genosha. Instead of attending Gambit’s funeral, Rogue flies around the world using her brute force to get some answers. With no help from Captain America, she discovers an organization called OZT. Meeting the rest of the X-Men in Madripoor they uncover a plot to create an even more powerful mutant-eliminating machine. The Purple People Eater plays ominously in the background…

more powerful mutant
eliminating machine the
36
00:02:04,380 --> 00:02:07,180
purple people eater plays
ominously in the background
37
00:02:09,419 --> 00:02:11,900
Yeah, that was a great
touch that needle drop
38
00:02:11,900 --> 00:02:17,220
terrifying My gosh that
song is always supposed to
39
00:02:17,220 --> 00:02:20,100
be fun But when put into
this context it is not fun
40
00:02:20,100 --> 00:02:22,560
at all whenever there's
people literally getting
41
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,440
smothered to the tune of
Purple eater not good.
42
00:02:26,500 --> 00:02:28,400
Yeah,
or someone being held
43
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,140
captive I'll get you sure
will they're getting shaved
44
00:02:31,140 --> 00:02:33,640
with that in the background
again. Not
45
00:02:33,640 --> 00:02:34,880
great. All
right We're getting ahead
46
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:36,440
of ourselves. We
were like we went to the
47
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,440
end. We're
done So like I said up
48
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:44,400
top this is we get to see
how our Crew is going to
49
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,640
deal with the aftermath of
Genosha. So
50
00:02:46,640 --> 00:02:49,340
we open with Gambit's
funeral in case we haven't
51
00:02:49,340 --> 00:02:51,740
recovered already They're
reminding us that you know
52
00:02:51,740 --> 00:02:55,040
good old gambit with that
great glamour shot photo
53
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,720
for his funeral. I
Want to know where that
54
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,620
photo was taken first off
like did they have to take
55
00:03:02,620 --> 00:03:07,220
in case you die? Do
do a photo like I think
56
00:03:07,220 --> 00:03:09,660
it's for the X -men
yearbook that comes out
57
00:03:09,660 --> 00:03:12,020
every year And they get a
professional photographer to
58
00:03:12,020 --> 00:03:13,900
come in it might be
dazzler for all we know
59
00:03:13,900 --> 00:03:16,920
It's the same like 10
mutants every time right
60
00:03:16,920 --> 00:03:20,160
totally or or maybe they
just had a glamour day
61
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,680
Yeah, maybe they're there
they know the internet is
62
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,400
coming upon them So they
wanted to get their
63
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,760
headshots ready to go this
funeral was beautiful Mostly
64
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,940
because nightcrawler did the
eulogy and priest garb.
65
00:03:30,940 --> 00:03:32,360
Yes,
this is why I love him
66
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:36,080
though not for the priest
garb, but because like this
67
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,760
is The additional thing he
contributes to the team the
68
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,620
spiritual aspect the
bringing them together and
69
00:03:42,620 --> 00:03:45,540
helping them deal with
stuff It was fun kind of
70
00:03:45,540 --> 00:03:48,260
because there was a lot of
like card game puns in
71
00:03:48,260 --> 00:03:52,700
this With a fall house and
a hand of card charts You
72
00:03:52,700 --> 00:03:55,520
will bet everything on
gambit's life who will
73
00:03:55,520 --> 00:04:00,160
never be bluffing in the
afterlife Yeah, that's like
74
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:04,720
a cliff notes version Of
note I did want to point
75
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,640
this out in case people
were wondering who the hell
76
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,900
the other people were So
those are the thieves guild
77
00:04:08,900 --> 00:04:11,440
there people that gambit
went with a part of that
78
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,280
there was Pierre Belladonna
Who's his ex -fiance and
79
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:19,500
his brother Bobby? There
was a woman that had White
80
00:04:19,500 --> 00:04:22,160
and black he was giving
rogue vibes for sure. Well,
81
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,440
I want to say it's Aurora
It would be kind of odd
82
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,800
that she was there Aurora's
the twin sister to North
83
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,860
Star North Star is the
like queer icon of the X
84
00:04:31,860 --> 00:04:33,100
-Men. He's
the one that was had the
85
00:04:33,100 --> 00:04:36,300
wedding Interesting that she
was there. I
86
00:04:36,300 --> 00:04:40,640
maybe they cross paths and
Genosha at one point I
87
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,000
can't really remember but I
thought it was interesting
88
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,400
if that is her if it's
not I have no idea who
89
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,400
that yeah, you know, it's
so fun about this, you
90
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,620
know X -Men 97 in general
is that they keep kind of
91
00:04:51,620 --> 00:04:54,660
flopping these people these
mutants these characters
92
00:04:54,660 --> 00:04:57,940
into different scenes
without Mentioning who they
93
00:04:57,940 --> 00:05:01,240
are to watch the series,
right exactly like that's
94
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,760
even like and I don't know
his name But when when
95
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,680
they go to Genosha, there's
that big guy who's telling
96
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,680
them to buff up because
there's gonna be a war Get
97
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,060
the little white hair. You
know what I mean? It's
98
00:05:12,060 --> 00:05:13,500
like, oh, I've seen that
guy. I
99
00:05:13,500 --> 00:05:15,100
know that guy But they
don't mention his name.
100
00:05:15,260 --> 00:05:16,020
They
don't say anything and
101
00:05:16,020 --> 00:05:17,820
that's like the people at
these funeral They're just
102
00:05:17,820 --> 00:05:19,620
kind of like we're gonna
put them there. Yeah,
103
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,640
good luck. Yeah,
I mean that's kind of the
104
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,940
fun thing There's so many
X -Men and there's so many
105
00:05:23,940 --> 00:05:26,220
characters that intertwine
with the X -Men that I
106
00:05:26,220 --> 00:05:29,020
mean they could have their
own Encyclopedia which they
107
00:05:29,020 --> 00:05:33,280
kind of do at this point,
but it is fun seeing some
108
00:05:33,280 --> 00:05:34,780
of these characters,
especially at a funeral
109
00:05:34,780 --> 00:05:36,920
It's like who is going to
show up at this and you
110
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,740
know his ex and brother
and friend showed up So
111
00:05:39,740 --> 00:05:41,160
that's nice. Yeah,
it makes sense. The
112
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,800
one person who's not there
is rogue. Yeah,
113
00:05:43,820 --> 00:05:46,780
which Jubilee has a problem
with Yeah, how do you feel
114
00:05:46,780 --> 00:05:50,280
about this episode going
into the final three? Part
115
00:05:50,280 --> 00:05:52,700
or finale like up to this
point. I
116
00:05:52,700 --> 00:05:55,400
think it's I think it does
the job of setting that
117
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,680
up, right? I
don't know if You know,
118
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,060
especially compared to the
last two episodes, you know
119
00:06:01,060 --> 00:06:03,780
the one before it's like
oh my gosh Storm gets her
120
00:06:03,780 --> 00:06:06,840
powers back Xavier is still
alive the one before that
121
00:06:06,840 --> 00:06:09,720
is the entire Genosha
episode Which was insane.
122
00:06:09,940 --> 00:06:11,520
This
is very much like a
123
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:15,500
cleaning up that Portion to
set it up for the next
124
00:06:15,500 --> 00:06:19,400
three episodes So I think
it does its job of what
125
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,840
it needs to do of showing
how they're dealing with
126
00:06:21,840 --> 00:06:24,100
the aftermath of all that
But then letting us know
127
00:06:24,100 --> 00:06:26,540
that something bigger is
going to be coming. Yeah,
128
00:06:26,580 --> 00:06:31,380
I like that they didn't
pull away from Dealing with
129
00:06:31,380 --> 00:06:33,140
this. This
is something that I think
130
00:06:33,140 --> 00:06:35,960
we need it to see right
because I think It would
131
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,980
be easy for them to just
sweep it under the rug
132
00:06:39,420 --> 00:06:41,740
Like they do that and show
sometimes where it's like a
133
00:06:41,740 --> 00:06:43,580
lot of people die, but
they focus on like one
134
00:06:43,580 --> 00:06:47,280
character So I liked that
in this we got to go back
135
00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:49,160
to Genosha. We
got to see our X -Men
136
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:53,360
dealing with that I Think
it's needed to make it
137
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:57,300
more of an impact and make
us sad, but I liked how
138
00:06:57,300 --> 00:07:00,720
rogue dealt with it right
because in this episode I
139
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,260
feel like we see a bunch
of different variations of
140
00:07:03,260 --> 00:07:06,780
grief and rogue went on
revenge slash Retaliation
141
00:07:06,780 --> 00:07:09,620
slash trying to just find
out who did this. Yeah,
142
00:07:09,660 --> 00:07:13,740
she is on a mission for
Intel and really We're
143
00:07:13,740 --> 00:07:19,080
we're watching rogue kind
of Come to her end in a
144
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:23,000
sense of Trying so hard to
keep the peace and be the
145
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,340
good and she's had it at
this point, right? You
146
00:07:26,340 --> 00:07:31,760
know as she is reminded By
nightcrawler she's lost two
147
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:37,160
people Incident not just
gambit that scene Not to
148
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:41,320
skip the rampage, but when
she's finally like gone as
149
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,340
far as she can go And
she's not really getting
150
00:07:43,340 --> 00:07:45,300
anywhere or you know
there's more questions than
151
00:07:45,300 --> 00:07:47,940
answers and Nightcrawler
shows up and it was such
152
00:07:47,940 --> 00:07:51,820
a beautiful moment to see
her team slash family be
153
00:07:51,820 --> 00:07:54,880
there for her But when
night when she was like I
154
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:56,840
lost gambit. I
don't know what to do and
155
00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,000
Kurt's like well You lost
two people. Do
156
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,360
not forget. No,
did you lose gambit, but
157
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:07,140
you lost? Whoops,
so keep crying There are
158
00:08:07,140 --> 00:08:09,840
the tears I like waiting
for them I get like what
159
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,240
he was trying to say, but
it did come off like damn.
160
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,380
Yeah,
okay We had a way to slap
161
00:08:14,380 --> 00:08:17,600
a girl while she's down
nightcrawler her rampage
162
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,520
though across the country
and enter You know
163
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,800
countries the world. Yeah,
amazing. Yeah,
164
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:28,360
I Love seeing her kind of
have like another moment of
165
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,400
hers where she's just
trying to get answers and
166
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,260
does not care Who's in her
way? Yeah,
167
00:08:32,260 --> 00:08:34,840
so cool We really see her
power in this too, right?
168
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:36,299
So
I think her first stop is
169
00:08:36,299 --> 00:08:38,820
general Ross and they're
like no one can get in
170
00:08:38,820 --> 00:08:41,140
here This is built to
withstand the force of a
171
00:08:41,140 --> 00:08:42,720
million sentinels or
whatever. She's
172
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,500
like the Hulk bam bam bam
bam hi guys What the
173
00:08:46,500 --> 00:08:48,620
hell's going on? She
also says when she meets
174
00:08:48,620 --> 00:08:51,800
him what one of the lines
she says in this That I
175
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,980
really like is he's like I
thought your kind was the
176
00:08:53,980 --> 00:08:56,300
good guys and she's like
you killed those now You
177
00:08:56,300 --> 00:09:00,640
have to deal with me like
dang She is scary. She's
178
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:04,480
scary when she needs to be
Do I think she's going
179
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:05,940
about it the right way?
No,
180
00:09:05,980 --> 00:09:11,020
do I understand? Yeah?
Yeah, I mean Well, you
181
00:09:11,020 --> 00:09:15,100
know what I feel like in
rogues defense so we see
182
00:09:15,560 --> 00:09:18,800
Cyclops and Jean talking to
the president, right? And
183
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,600
they're like you have to
help us We need more aid
184
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,060
for Genosha. You
have to get out there and
185
00:09:23,060 --> 00:09:26,440
the president's like well
The voters probably wouldn't
186
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,560
like that so we can't it's
all about optics, right?
187
00:09:29,660 --> 00:09:30,700
It's
all about optics. It's
188
00:09:30,700 --> 00:09:34,380
all about Why who are we
actually helping really
189
00:09:34,380 --> 00:09:36,200
ourselves, right? We
just want to win again.
190
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,620
Whatever
it is so Cyclops has tried
191
00:09:39,620 --> 00:09:43,500
the diplomatic route So
rogue has gone rogue,
192
00:09:43,580 --> 00:09:45,480
right? And
I think that that's the
193
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,500
only way to get answers
and to get help. Yeah,
194
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:51,580
this episode does a
interesting look at What
195
00:09:51,580 --> 00:09:55,920
happens to a people during
like a mash tragedy, right?
196
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,040
And
like what does that look
197
00:09:58,040 --> 00:09:59,880
like and we've seen this
in their real world where
198
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:03,180
it's like we can't really
help them because X y and
199
00:10:03,180 --> 00:10:05,840
z will look bad if we do
this or whatever it is
200
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,360
Yeah, there's plenty of
times in this episode with
201
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,820
Scott and Jean talking to
the president with rogue
202
00:10:10,820 --> 00:10:14,040
talking to Captain America
with Bees talking to Trish
203
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,960
and it's put into
perspective of The should
204
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:19,680
have happened in the first
place and right now you're
205
00:10:19,680 --> 00:10:22,320
too scared to help right
and and kind of related to
206
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,580
that I think they did a
good mirroring here is when
207
00:10:25,580 --> 00:10:28,500
Roberto has that coming out
scene to his mother, right?
208
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:30,760
It's
very much a queer coming
209
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,800
out scene only that he's a
mutant and she's she does
210
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,300
that We've known all along
but then at the end of it
211
00:10:36,300 --> 00:10:38,520
She says well But we have
to figure out how to kind
212
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,560
of cover this up because
we don't don't want our
213
00:10:40,560 --> 00:10:42,560
stakeholders to know because
they won't like it You
214
00:10:42,560 --> 00:10:46,060
know, yeah That was tough
to watch and I'm sure it's
215
00:10:46,060 --> 00:10:48,040
tough to watch for people
in any type of circumstance
216
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,040
where it's you know Sexual
orientation or race or
217
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,020
anything like that and it's
like I knew that was
218
00:10:54,020 --> 00:10:56,900
coming But then to hear it
and then for her to just
219
00:10:56,900 --> 00:10:58,640
be very flippant about it
and like who wants
220
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,700
spritzers I was like, oh
Yeah, damn at least he
221
00:11:02,700 --> 00:11:05,720
told her, you know, right
at this point It's up to
222
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:09,160
her to decide but I really
it's gonna suck right at
223
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,220
like I hope he doesn't
Feel like he has to hide
224
00:11:12,220 --> 00:11:15,340
himself and I'm glad that
Jubilee of all people is
225
00:11:15,340 --> 00:11:18,300
thereby aside because she's
gonna be there To light
226
00:11:18,300 --> 00:11:22,160
the way oh Beautiful, you
know, and I think about
227
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,560
Jubilee in that scene who
is really feeling so proud
228
00:11:25,560 --> 00:11:28,220
of him for doing this for
finally coming out for
229
00:11:28,220 --> 00:11:30,940
Finally talking to his mom
about it, but then she
230
00:11:30,940 --> 00:11:33,980
must be taken aback by the
mother saying well, okay
231
00:11:33,980 --> 00:11:35,940
That's great, but now we
need to cover it up. We
232
00:11:35,940 --> 00:11:39,260
need to be discreet about
it right she I could just
233
00:11:39,260 --> 00:11:43,940
feel her being like Wait
What yeah, she's like
234
00:11:43,940 --> 00:11:47,480
that's not how I thought
it was And so again, I
235
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,220
think that this scene
really does mirror the
236
00:11:50,220 --> 00:11:52,260
conversation with the
president in the sense that
237
00:11:53,060 --> 00:11:55,540
Well, we want to do the
right thing, but we can't
238
00:11:55,540 --> 00:11:58,040
because others, you know,
won't be happy, right?
239
00:11:58,280 --> 00:11:59,600
That's
like, okay, so we'd rather
240
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,920
hide things. We'd
rather not take care of
241
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,260
people just so Other people
are happy so instead of
242
00:12:05,260 --> 00:12:07,260
doing the right thing. It's
just doing what's good for
243
00:12:07,260 --> 00:12:09,480
you, right? And
I I kept trying to figure
244
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:13,300
out like what the episode
title meant because bright
245
00:12:13,300 --> 00:12:16,320
eyes is like, you know You
have bright eyes is
246
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,860
something like the your
What how would you describe
247
00:12:19,860 --> 00:12:21,640
it like it's like bright
-eyed and bushy tailed,
248
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,540
right? So
it's like the world is new
249
00:12:23,540 --> 00:12:26,500
everything is okay I'm so
excited to go into this
250
00:12:26,500 --> 00:12:29,060
and it's almost like the X
-men Thank you for that
251
00:12:29,060 --> 00:12:30,680
because I was like, I know
what it means, but how do
252
00:12:30,680 --> 00:12:33,580
I say it? Mm
-hmm bright eyes? Because
253
00:12:33,580 --> 00:12:34,820
I'm mr. Bride
eyes. I'm
254
00:12:34,820 --> 00:12:37,360
telling you. Yeah,
it's not that's fun but I
255
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,740
see that as You know the
Scott making the decision
256
00:12:40,740 --> 00:12:43,340
to go to Genosha to show
mutants and mankind that
257
00:12:43,340 --> 00:12:45,580
like there is still hope
and it's Like the X -men
258
00:12:45,580 --> 00:12:49,400
are supposed to be that
and Having this in the
259
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,140
same episode with rogue
completely going on a
260
00:12:52,140 --> 00:12:57,320
rampage is hard to Deal
with that right and it's
261
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:01,220
like if they find out that
rogue is doing this How
262
00:13:01,220 --> 00:13:03,120
are people gonna feel about
Genosha? Hmm?
263
00:13:03,660 --> 00:13:04,880
It's not gonna look good.
So
264
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,900
wow. I
do think that cap should
265
00:13:07,900 --> 00:13:12,060
have tried harder to help
I Understand his
266
00:13:12,060 --> 00:13:14,480
reservations of like we
need to do this by the
267
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,880
book We can't just go to
Mexico and like destroy a
268
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,240
bunch of stuff and kill
somebody, you know I
269
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,260
understand his like
hesitation, but her line of
270
00:13:23,260 --> 00:13:26,800
calling him a top cop. Oh
America's top cop so good.
271
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:28,220
Yeah,
so true. Yeah,
272
00:13:28,220 --> 00:13:31,180
I love that line. I
thought that it was so
273
00:13:31,839 --> 00:13:34,060
Kind of to the point. It
was really kind of digging
274
00:13:34,060 --> 00:13:36,540
it in there in this moment
where she's looking for
275
00:13:36,540 --> 00:13:39,220
help She's you know if
anyone should help her it
276
00:13:39,220 --> 00:13:41,920
should be captain America,
right? And
277
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,220
he just seems to be like
well my hands are tied
278
00:13:44,220 --> 00:13:47,340
because he does seem to be
the type of person that
279
00:13:47,340 --> 00:13:50,920
wants to play by the rules
or Do what's best and take
280
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,740
the right steps to getting
there and so she wants to
281
00:13:53,740 --> 00:13:56,500
kind of Blow past all that
and just get to the
282
00:13:56,500 --> 00:13:58,200
answer. Yeah,
I mean I think I
283
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:03,920
Understand it but you know
with her saying like Well,
284
00:14:03,940 --> 00:14:05,960
you're with us, right? And
he's like well my hands
285
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,260
are tied and she's like oh
Well, then you don't need
286
00:14:09,260 --> 00:14:12,060
the shield. Goodbye.
Yes. That
287
00:14:12,060 --> 00:14:14,940
was incredible I like her
like well, here's the hole
288
00:14:14,940 --> 00:14:16,680
we made and I'm gonna
throw it. Yeah.
289
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:20,940
Bye and and so I just
keep picturing him like I'm
290
00:14:20,940 --> 00:14:23,500
like That I must have
taken him a long time to
291
00:14:23,500 --> 00:14:26,080
find it must have unless
he has a tracking device
292
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,160
But what I what I want to
like point out with the
293
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,740
shield is when he when she
gets it Like what went
294
00:14:32,740 --> 00:14:35,920
through his head at that
moment of like oh Usually
295
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:39,360
the shield comes back like
how do I usually they
296
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,320
usually don't have it She
was like very much holding
297
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,400
it for ransom the entire
time. She
298
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,320
was like, hmm, which it
looked good. I
299
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,900
was gonna say I mean come
on Let's get it going.
300
00:14:49,140 --> 00:14:50,740
Yeah,
I liked his cameo and it
301
00:14:50,740 --> 00:14:53,680
makes sense, right? It's
like with how big of a
302
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:57,100
scale Genosha was it makes
sense that Captain America
303
00:14:57,100 --> 00:15:00,680
or somebody from outside of
the X -Men is involved or
304
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:04,320
does show up Now will the
Avengers or other groups
305
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:08,000
show up in the end? I
guess that's not to see
306
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,460
but it would make sense if
they do like other people
307
00:15:11,460 --> 00:15:14,100
have to be with the X -Men
Yeah, it's it's a really
308
00:15:14,100 --> 00:15:19,780
interesting thing right
because The X -Men is made
309
00:15:19,780 --> 00:15:23,760
up of mutants the Avengers
are made up of Everybody
310
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,480
like skilled heroes and
some aliens and a god
311
00:15:27,060 --> 00:15:28,440
Mutants and mutants, right?
So
312
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,520
it's like why aren't they
there more helping them
313
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:35,500
because it's Captain America
Captain America I do want
314
00:15:35,500 --> 00:15:36,880
to talk about you know,
she'll for a little bit
315
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,080
because there's quite a few
things that happen in there
316
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,800
the beast and Trish
conversation I Liked it a
317
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,680
lot and I like seeing
beasts in another light or
318
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,440
kind of being angry and
not as nice and warm as
319
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,760
he usually is Quoting mr.
Rogers
320
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:55,400
and Martin Luther King in
the same scene Kind of
321
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,480
love the man that knows a
quote right off the top of
322
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:58,880
his head. He's
very learned. Yeah
323
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:00,820
I can very well wreck and
hardly remember some lines
324
00:16:00,820 --> 00:16:03,320
from this and he's just
like Got it. Yeah,
325
00:16:03,340 --> 00:16:05,600
I just may got my own as
you saw before I said like
326
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,800
a million centenles and you
were like the Hulk I was
327
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:11,260
like, oh, yeah That is
exactly what they said, but
328
00:16:11,260 --> 00:16:15,819
I mean those words like so
it's it is tough Reading
329
00:16:15,819 --> 00:16:18,000
the comics and watching
this stuff and putting it
330
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,540
up on this bigger kind of
fictional scale, but also
331
00:16:21,540 --> 00:16:25,220
realizing like this is Real
stuff. Hmm.
332
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,740
Like right the whole
concept of like Maybe our
333
00:16:28,740 --> 00:16:30,920
first mistake was begging
for tolerance. Like
334
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:34,140
what is tolerance? Like
it's tolerance just being
335
00:16:34,140 --> 00:16:35,900
like, okay, you can live
there. You
336
00:16:35,900 --> 00:16:38,060
can be there, but like
we're not gonna help you
337
00:16:38,060 --> 00:16:39,380
You're not gonna get the
same rights. You're
338
00:16:39,380 --> 00:16:41,780
not gonna get the same
resources as us We
339
00:16:41,780 --> 00:16:44,220
acknowledge you exist, but
we're not gonna have you
340
00:16:44,220 --> 00:16:46,340
at the table or even
consider right? It's
341
00:16:46,340 --> 00:16:48,760
very much like well, isn't
that enough aren't you
342
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:50,380
gonna be happy with that?
And
343
00:16:50,380 --> 00:16:52,500
I feel like he's in this
conversation here that it's
344
00:16:52,500 --> 00:16:54,860
also talking about the
media, right? And
345
00:16:54,860 --> 00:16:57,720
so he's like, oh so
interesting that you're here
346
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:01,300
to help when just a day
or two ago You were doing
347
00:17:01,300 --> 00:17:04,420
a report and reporting from
outside of our mansion and
348
00:17:04,420 --> 00:17:06,480
making you know what I
mean and like making sort
349
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,740
of You were dramatizing it
for what ratings right?
350
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:11,079
What
were you really showing and
351
00:17:11,079 --> 00:17:12,500
are you really going to
help? What
352
00:17:12,500 --> 00:17:15,319
made the best TV right
calling out Scott's dirty
353
00:17:15,319 --> 00:17:18,020
laundry right and secret
child with the clone of
354
00:17:18,020 --> 00:17:22,060
his wife? South
from the future listen,
355
00:17:22,079 --> 00:17:25,740
it's just the truth It's
not necessarily dirty
356
00:17:25,740 --> 00:17:28,460
laundry. It
just is we need to talk
357
00:17:28,460 --> 00:17:31,620
about Scott and Jean in
this particular situation
358
00:17:31,620 --> 00:17:34,260
when they go to the the
Citadel I think they called
359
00:17:34,260 --> 00:17:37,180
it. I
liked this scene because it
360
00:17:37,180 --> 00:17:40,580
seems like Jean and Scott
are finally Being able to
361
00:17:40,580 --> 00:17:43,760
work through some things
And talking about it and
362
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,640
being more of a team now
instead of just Not talking
363
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:55,120
and doing psychic affairs
with clones when she Here's
364
00:17:55,120 --> 00:17:58,100
like here's feels a
telepath and him saying
365
00:17:58,100 --> 00:18:02,580
Madeline and it's not is
kind of sad So one of the
366
00:18:02,580 --> 00:18:04,980
interesting things is that
when we were watching this
367
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:07,780
Jean's hair was down. I
said, oh, it's Madeline,
368
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,320
but it wasn't it was Jean
And so and I'm like, oh
369
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,240
is she trying to make
moves to try not make
370
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:19,320
moves, but like Be more
like Madeline I mean, maybe
371
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:20,840
it's just you can't have
your hair in a ponytail
372
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,180
because it will break. I
mean, that's literally how
373
00:18:23,180 --> 00:18:26,380
they draw her Yeah, forever
and now all of a sudden
374
00:18:26,380 --> 00:18:28,240
her hair is down I'm just
saying we made it everybody
375
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,080
made such a big stink
about the switch in the
376
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,960
opening Yeah credit. Well,
we're trying to do
377
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,760
something here But maybe
it's her just being like
378
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:38,940
are you more comfortable
now like I have my hair
379
00:18:38,940 --> 00:18:40,920
down like her like can we
have our psychic rapport?
380
00:18:41,460 --> 00:18:43,540
Let's
report this baby. Let's
381
00:18:43,540 --> 00:18:48,400
repair the rapport magic or
I You know did really feel
382
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,300
that scene when she kind
of walks into the wreckage
383
00:18:50,300 --> 00:18:52,280
And she can feel all the
lives that have been lost
384
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:57,440
and they keep showing that
fish guy who Fish guy.
385
00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:59,420
Yeah,
there was that guy in the
386
00:18:59,420 --> 00:19:02,020
genosha episode where he's
like traveling through water
387
00:19:02,020 --> 00:19:04,380
He pops up out of the
water and then he's like
388
00:19:04,380 --> 00:19:07,080
in his tuxedo and he's
like dry Oh, right and
389
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,120
then it's like oh look at
that cool fish guy And
390
00:19:09,120 --> 00:19:10,780
then they show him dying
and then they show him
391
00:19:10,780 --> 00:19:13,320
again crushed. Yeah,
this poor fish guy They
392
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,820
also showed dazzler getting
crushed and Sebastian shot
393
00:19:15,820 --> 00:19:18,980
and Emma, but that fish
guy. Who
394
00:19:18,980 --> 00:19:22,180
is he? Are
they assillusners cuz
395
00:19:22,180 --> 00:19:25,320
they'll tell us who is
that fish guy? I
396
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:29,940
feel so badly for them
Also though just to like
397
00:19:29,940 --> 00:19:32,020
talk about her abilities.
She's
398
00:19:32,020 --> 00:19:38,180
able to feel people's pasts
and Un You know done
399
00:19:38,180 --> 00:19:41,360
futures and everything after
they died. It's
400
00:19:41,360 --> 00:19:45,800
it's almost like whatever
Emotion is imprinted in
401
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,700
that land. She
can feel me Sucks. Oh,
402
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,260
it's awful. Yeah,
absolutely rats rats
403
00:19:52,260 --> 00:19:55,100
everywhere But we got Emma.
Yeah,
404
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,760
it's like we said in the
last episode or maybe the
405
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,160
episode before that She got
her diamond form her second
406
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:06,180
mutation. I
Love her so much She still
407
00:20:06,180 --> 00:20:09,960
had her thick red lip and
then she said I'm good
408
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,800
under pressure I've always
done well under pressure.
409
00:20:13,020 --> 00:20:15,740
I'm
like She said I may be
410
00:20:15,740 --> 00:20:19,040
clinging on to life But
goddammit do I have time
411
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,040
for a pun? And
we were like slight I like
412
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,400
how she's like on the
stretcher and she's like
413
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:26,940
Wait, I got this great
joke. Hold
414
00:20:26,940 --> 00:20:28,180
on. I've
been waiting to say this
415
00:20:28,180 --> 00:20:30,160
for like two weeks I've
been thinking about this
416
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:35,980
for a long time. She's
like But look at my I
417
00:20:35,980 --> 00:20:37,420
wonder if she's just under
the rubble. She's
418
00:20:37,420 --> 00:20:39,600
like, I must look good.
I'm
419
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,280
very I'm very curious about
the red lip I feel like
420
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,160
when you see her in her
diamond form. She's
421
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,700
usually completely diamond,
but not for this at the
422
00:20:47,700 --> 00:20:51,440
ball She had cover girls
Matt lips stay on forever
423
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:57,340
lip gloss and it worked
It's as strong as a
424
00:20:57,340 --> 00:20:59,420
diamond. Oh
my god, she said shine
425
00:20:59,420 --> 00:21:02,420
bright like a diamond She
should have sang that one.
426
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:03,560
She's
you know, if they could
427
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,080
afford purple people eater
I'm sure diamond by Rihanna
428
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:07,740
would have been a lot more
expensive what we could
429
00:21:07,740 --> 00:21:09,420
have gotten at least a
little beat Imagine her
430
00:21:09,420 --> 00:21:11,980
just getting floated. Yeah
and singing it. Oh
431
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,480
I'm picturing my head is
beautiful. Um,
432
00:21:16,700 --> 00:21:19,080
but yeah, so she's a
wreck. Sorry
433
00:21:20,219 --> 00:21:22,500
Listen, we're trying to
look we're trying to look
434
00:21:22,500 --> 00:21:24,940
for the diamond in the
rough here the bright eyes
435
00:21:24,940 --> 00:21:29,440
in the darkness. Oh
beautiful But yeah, so Emma
436
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,760
has her second mutation
great fantastic. I
437
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,640
hope she's able to help at
some point Instead of just
438
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:39,420
throwing quips and looking
gorgeous as ever, but we'll
439
00:21:39,420 --> 00:21:44,940
see she said you can do
both So should we talk
440
00:21:44,940 --> 00:21:48,120
about Magipore first I got
yeah So wait, what's what's
441
00:21:48,120 --> 00:21:49,520
interesting about this
though is that while
442
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:53,040
they're on Genosha They get
like a FaceTime from Trask.
443
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:54,760
Yeah,
and he's like come to
444
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:58,700
Magipore Well, what I what
I love about this is when
445
00:21:58,700 --> 00:22:01,420
they get to Magipore the
UN consulate or whatever it
446
00:22:01,420 --> 00:22:04,240
is there the secret
entrance to the secret lab
447
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:09,080
is in the lobby of The
building where like anybody
448
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,460
can just get a diet coke
No one drinks diet in
449
00:22:12,460 --> 00:22:15,160
Magipore so they know that
they'll be safe I wonder
450
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,220
if they do have a guard
near it every time and or
451
00:22:17,220 --> 00:22:19,460
you're not allowed to use
it Which is also more
452
00:22:19,460 --> 00:22:21,580
suspicious. Maybe
I just want to know like
453
00:22:21,580 --> 00:22:25,900
if Like Trask goes there
for work and he does it
454
00:22:25,900 --> 00:22:29,280
the whole thing slides like
nobody in the lobby is
455
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,020
okay It's not the best. I
did it's not the best.
456
00:22:32,100 --> 00:22:33,300
Maybe
there's just an out -of
457
00:22:33,300 --> 00:22:35,500
-order sign on it all the
time Also, he knocked
458
00:22:35,500 --> 00:22:37,160
everybody out. Why
did not just meet him at
459
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,080
the entrance? Just
I don't know it's though.
460
00:22:39,460 --> 00:22:41,080
I
mean like let's dig a
461
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,160
little deeper. He
calls them there He tells
462
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,140
them to come to his not
-so -secret secret layer they
463
00:22:46,140 --> 00:22:48,140
get there and then he's
jumping from the building.
464
00:22:48,340 --> 00:22:49,480
Yeah,
that's how you treat your
465
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:53,520
guests Well, you don't
offer them anything He gave
466
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,460
all the information he
bought he had which was
467
00:22:55,460 --> 00:22:58,900
not much not much. He
never said Bastion once He
468
00:22:58,900 --> 00:23:01,360
just said somebody else.
That's
469
00:23:01,360 --> 00:23:08,680
all I That's it this guy
but this has terrifying
470
00:23:09,300 --> 00:23:13,180
ramifications for the X -Men
for the rest of the series
471
00:23:13,180 --> 00:23:17,380
going forward Sinister who
has gotten? Technology
472
00:23:17,388 --> 00:23:20,960
from somewhere or help from
somewhere is building new
473
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:25,420
setinels that aren't only
advanced But can also be
474
00:23:25,420 --> 00:23:28,860
human setinel hybrids,
right? Yeah,
475
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:33,620
so This is an interesting
scene here when we see our
476
00:23:33,620 --> 00:23:37,080
first one sort of come
alive or I don't even know
477
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,100
go into activate activate,
right? so
478
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,260
So we've been talking kind
of about Rogue's journey in
479
00:23:43,260 --> 00:23:45,780
this and the path that
she's going on and when he
480
00:23:45,780 --> 00:23:47,560
goes to jump She grabs
him. Oh,
481
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,080
she tries to get it more
information. He
482
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,880
has no more information So
she lets him go. He
483
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:56,040
says I have nothing else
to give and she said same
484
00:23:56,040 --> 00:24:00,640
sugar and Drops drops him
and and and right and so
485
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,580
this is kind of going back
to what Beast was saying
486
00:24:02,580 --> 00:24:05,940
Have we been trying too
hard to be the good guys
487
00:24:05,940 --> 00:24:08,500
or are we going about it
the wrong way? And
488
00:24:08,500 --> 00:24:11,440
we have Morph going is
this who we are now and
489
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,280
Wolverine saying she just
did what we all wanted to
490
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,800
do Yeah, I mean it's gonna
split some people right? I
491
00:24:16,808 --> 00:24:19,800
think as us as viewers
We're gonna have to deal
492
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,320
with our own emotions. It's
not black and white. It's
493
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,320
very gray this is a very
dramatic and dark episode
494
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,580
and Dealing with grief in
this way makes people do
495
00:24:28,580 --> 00:24:31,380
things that they believe is
correct. I
496
00:24:31,380 --> 00:24:34,880
Think Morph's line is very
important here because he's
497
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,840
like I don't think this is
like who we're supposed to
498
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:41,620
be like One you denied the
man his suicide and then
499
00:24:41,620 --> 00:24:44,300
you just killed him. It's
like going a step further
500
00:24:44,300 --> 00:24:47,980
of like You really need to
like sort out your
501
00:24:47,980 --> 00:24:50,640
priorities here because like
I don't think this is how
502
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:54,080
we're supposed to be doing
things also Nightcrawlers
503
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:58,180
there Gene is there Anybody
could have done it anybody
504
00:24:58,180 --> 00:25:01,460
could have saved him could
have saved them They were
505
00:25:01,460 --> 00:25:07,560
just like oh wait no They
were like oh man after he
506
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,120
got a grasp after he hit
the ground, you know, I
507
00:25:10,780 --> 00:25:13,040
You know, I'm sorry. I
don't think she's in the
508
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,000
wrong. I
Don't think so. This
509
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,920
is the person that created
the things that have been
510
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:22,020
murdering you and your
friends for years No, but
511
00:25:22,020 --> 00:25:26,360
I don't think she's wrong
But what does this mean,
512
00:25:26,700 --> 00:25:29,520
you know, like are they
just going to be able to
513
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:33,280
kill people that they think
Their decisions are doing
514
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,040
something wrong, you know,
just because the X -men are
515
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,280
like powerful and have
these abilities doesn't mean
516
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,720
that they can go unchecked
and I think that's to a
517
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:42,980
certain degree. He
is bad. I
518
00:25:42,980 --> 00:25:44,760
don't think he should be
able to do what he's doing
519
00:25:46,199 --> 00:25:49,500
That's a case but like how
far are they gonna go? I
520
00:25:49,500 --> 00:25:51,620
think that's like the
bigger conversation, right?
521
00:25:51,620 --> 00:25:53,200
And
I think that's what morph
522
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,020
is trying to get at is
this who we are now like
523
00:25:56,020 --> 00:25:59,480
we're just gonna kill
people Yes It is who we
524
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,580
are now morph. No
change into whoever you
525
00:26:01,580 --> 00:26:03,600
want to be this is who we
are now You're supposed to
526
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:07,020
be about a hoe. Yeah,
the hope of not having
527
00:26:07,020 --> 00:26:09,480
them kill you. Hey
look, I agree with her
528
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,680
Right, I just I'm just
trying to try to think of
529
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,320
the bigger picture here
because then look what he
530
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,380
does He dies slash comes
back alive and immediately
531
00:26:16,380 --> 00:26:19,620
and like, you know Blast
sir that scene with rogue
532
00:26:19,620 --> 00:26:22,380
with the lights of the
sign and her talking you
533
00:26:22,380 --> 00:26:28,080
about her man and then
Exterminate not exterminate
534
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,120
terminate what eliminate
eliminate there. We
535
00:26:30,120 --> 00:26:33,280
I'm like utilize doctor who
is in my head and Then
536
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,640
that punch completely taking
out rogue from the fight
537
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,920
Fuck yeah, I also want to
talk about again our little
538
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,520
power couple who seem to
be back at it I love that
539
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:44,880
Cyclops is like Jean you
get the building. I'll
540
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:48,120
get the debris And you
know, did you notice in
541
00:26:48,120 --> 00:26:50,940
that scene at when one
amazing? I
542
00:26:50,940 --> 00:26:54,540
love in like action stuff
when buildings are like
543
00:26:54,540 --> 00:26:56,200
they're in it and they're
like trying to whatever
544
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,780
it's so cool It's just
like such an unimaginative
545
00:26:58,780 --> 00:27:01,020
way to do an action
sequence. I
546
00:27:01,020 --> 00:27:03,580
love how Scott was like
get the rubble blah blah
547
00:27:03,580 --> 00:27:05,780
blah Whatever she's like,
I'm gonna get the rubble
548
00:27:05,780 --> 00:27:10,000
get the building and you
and you and also I am
549
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,460
going to dispose of the
building in a way that
550
00:27:12,460 --> 00:27:14,380
doesn't hurt anybody else
by throwing it into the
551
00:27:14,380 --> 00:27:18,280
ocean Right now like rogue
just chucking vibranium
552
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,820
through the sky. Yeah,
she's like I'm gonna put
553
00:27:20,820 --> 00:27:24,860
it in the water So that
no one else's hurt This is
554
00:27:24,860 --> 00:27:27,860
where we really see prime
Titanals being who they
555
00:27:27,860 --> 00:27:30,300
are, right? Tick
down pretty much the whole
556
00:27:30,300 --> 00:27:33,020
team. We
have morph morphing into
557
00:27:33,020 --> 00:27:36,920
quicksilver, which Fantastic,
I love these little cameos
558
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,480
that morph is giving us
and it actually shows that
559
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,540
like he has the physical
abilities of the people He
560
00:27:42,540 --> 00:27:45,820
morphs into mm -hmm very
formidable person like if
561
00:27:45,820 --> 00:27:50,140
he's very powerful Depending
on who he can replicate,
562
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,900
right? Absolutely.
I also Enjoyed I didn't
563
00:27:53,900 --> 00:27:57,900
enjoy morph getting hit,
but I did the like
564
00:27:57,900 --> 00:28:01,680
Wolverine going more. Yeah
Trying to defend him my
565
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:05,620
lover of really Let's take
into that a little more
566
00:28:06,180 --> 00:28:08,760
There is we haven't really
gotten any scenes since the
567
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,700
shower The only one that I
could be like ooh morph
568
00:28:11,700 --> 00:28:15,000
and Logan are smooching a
little bit is when They
569
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,320
come to comfort rogue and
it looks at the stairs and
570
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,620
Morph is like behind Logan
with his arm back there
571
00:28:21,620 --> 00:28:24,500
and I'm like, there's still
very close Oh, yeah, Logan
572
00:28:24,500 --> 00:28:26,980
had those sleeves all the
way up. He
573
00:28:26,980 --> 00:28:28,320
said as opposed to halfway.
He
574
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:34,000
said we got you, baby With
these gun Sorry digress I
575
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,520
digress. Yeah,
the fight was awesome again
576
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:40,180
This show is continuing to
have a track record of
577
00:28:40,180 --> 00:28:43,400
amazing action sequences I'd
love that Jean had her
578
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,080
like TK speed. She
was able to keep up with
579
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,600
yeah, that was amazing
prime set no So cool and
580
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,820
she did not faint so yay
Yeah, you know and I think
581
00:28:52,820 --> 00:28:54,860
that that there's something
to be said about that and
582
00:28:54,860 --> 00:28:58,040
just in general of seeing
this very powerful female
583
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,440
hero Owning her powers
being awesome and not
584
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,180
having to faint right after
you know That's a big pet
585
00:29:04,180 --> 00:29:06,360
peeve of mine in any media
when there's a strong
586
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,820
female and she manages to
faint after using her
587
00:29:08,820 --> 00:29:13,020
powers So I loved seeing
Jean Really just kind of
588
00:29:13,020 --> 00:29:15,040
be badass in this entire
episode. I'm
589
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,460
so waiting for her to get
her moment Right, it's like
590
00:29:17,460 --> 00:29:19,980
a lot of these characters
have like their moment She
591
00:29:19,980 --> 00:29:24,680
I feel like has not yet
had hers like Madeline had
592
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,860
great moments and she kind
of had a moment when she
593
00:29:26,860 --> 00:29:29,320
took everybody out of
Madeline's I guess
594
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:32,820
hallucination But I'm
waiting for like that
595
00:29:32,820 --> 00:29:35,060
moment for her. She's
still recovering. I
596
00:29:35,060 --> 00:29:38,680
think yeah I'm also waiting
for the Logan moment too.
597
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:40,020
I
feel like Wolverine hasn't
598
00:29:40,020 --> 00:29:42,440
really had a moment in
this yet That's fine with
599
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,240
me. I
I love Wolverine I love
600
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,320
Logan, but he has been
like the only X been
601
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:52,460
getting attention for like
20 years in movies Give me
602
00:29:52,460 --> 00:29:54,140
everybody else. That's
fair. You
603
00:29:54,140 --> 00:29:57,480
know like he's fantastic,
but like I'm glad we got
604
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,940
Gambit and Ro you know,
they're having their moments
605
00:29:59,940 --> 00:30:02,660
So of course Gambit's
moment had a end with him
606
00:30:02,660 --> 00:30:05,160
dying, but it was amazing
the scarf. Oh,
607
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:08,440
okay I Mean I feel like
that episode in this
608
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:10,460
episode. I
cannot rewatch because
609
00:30:10,460 --> 00:30:13,260
they're so heavy and
they're so dark Yeah, so
610
00:30:13,260 --> 00:30:16,580
speaking of dark Speaking
of dark so we get to
611
00:30:16,580 --> 00:30:19,800
Bastion and kind of what
this is setting up to yeah
612
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,500
Any any thoughts before we
get well I also want to
613
00:30:22,500 --> 00:30:25,260
just point out that cable
shows up again Yes saving
614
00:30:25,260 --> 00:30:27,820
his father and Jean in
this moment realizes that
615
00:30:27,820 --> 00:30:32,300
cable all along was Nathan
and so You have to wonder
616
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,740
Cable and Scott reuniting
in this moment now knowing
617
00:30:36,740 --> 00:30:40,320
who he is You can see
Nathan almost feeling like
618
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:44,480
he doesn't have time for
Scott, you know time the
619
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,780
future And so I think that
That's an interesting
620
00:30:47,780 --> 00:30:50,120
relationship that I want to
see where that goes and
621
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:54,240
also to point out that We
don't know where Madeline
622
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,720
is either we don't know
where a few of them are
623
00:30:58,260 --> 00:31:01,680
Madeline in particular like
we haven't seen her Jean
624
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:03,800
didn't see her die like
she saw the other ones and
625
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:04,860
she was right there.
Where's
626
00:31:04,860 --> 00:31:07,460
the goblin Queen? Yeah
She's down in limbo
627
00:31:07,460 --> 00:31:10,320
probably. Oh,
I mean she does hmm
628
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:15,460
interesting. We'll
see I'm bad And then she
629
00:31:15,460 --> 00:31:18,580
brings magic with her
amazing I was I'm loving
630
00:31:18,580 --> 00:31:20,880
this so yes cable does
show up Which I feel like
631
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:26,680
he's gonna be the key to
saving everybody Now exactly
632
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:30,180
how that's going to work
The cards still haven't
633
00:31:30,180 --> 00:31:32,620
been dealt is he going to
be able to go back and
634
00:31:32,620 --> 00:31:35,180
save gambit whatever. I
don't know I'm still not
635
00:31:35,180 --> 00:31:39,040
in the I Don't know how I
feel about like the time
636
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,260
travel stuff in that way
of like just going back
637
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,220
And erasing everything that
happened, you know what I
638
00:31:44,220 --> 00:31:46,140
mean all this character
growth and development and
639
00:31:46,140 --> 00:31:49,480
everything But if he could
have done it why hasn't he
640
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,580
already done it? So
I'm curious to see what's
641
00:31:51,580 --> 00:31:54,440
happening in the future or
behind the scenes with him
642
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:58,600
It feels very Terminator in
a way to me like go back
643
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,080
to the past to stop the
one person from doing the
644
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:04,320
thing and we have humanoid
setinels Hello, my god,
645
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,920
this is Terminator. Yeah,
this is X -Men Arnold
646
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:11,300
Schwarzenegger is coming
Imagine if he voiced
647
00:32:11,300 --> 00:32:15,020
Bastion That would have
been cool, but yeah, let's
648
00:32:15,020 --> 00:32:18,320
get to Bastion. Okay,
so Bastion is terrifying
649
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,660
Very very scary. He
essentially for people that
650
00:32:22,660 --> 00:32:28,320
may not know he I believe
he appeared in 1996 so he
651
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,980
kind of came about after
onslaught and there was
652
00:32:30,980 --> 00:32:38,040
this whole story arc in
the comics onslaught is
653
00:32:38,048 --> 00:32:41,620
terrifying power combo and
he kind of came after that
654
00:32:41,620 --> 00:32:45,120
and the operations are
tolerance and so he is a
655
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:51,320
fusion of master mold and
like a Sentinel Nimrod in
656
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:56,500
the future so terrifying He
can control setinels and
657
00:32:56,500 --> 00:32:59,080
also has all of like the
durability skills fly
658
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:02,580
durability strength all of
that so He's the one
659
00:33:02,580 --> 00:33:05,260
that's been pulling the
strings so far right that
660
00:33:05,260 --> 00:33:08,220
we've seen there could be
more But the fact that we
661
00:33:08,220 --> 00:33:13,160
have Nimrod who is a
insane Villain and also
662
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:17,640
somebody that is a fusion
of all of that Scary so
663
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,340
just walk through something
with me, right? So
664
00:33:20,340 --> 00:33:24,820
we have this villain who
is Made up of a bunch of
665
00:33:24,820 --> 00:33:28,760
different powerful beings
and he wants to create
666
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:33,360
these sentinels to kill the
X -Men Mutants mutants
667
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:35,660
because mutants will be
standing in his way of
668
00:33:35,660 --> 00:33:38,840
fully taking over is that
is that like well, it's
669
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:42,260
just there Operations zero
tolerance is a bigoted
670
00:33:42,260 --> 00:33:43,420
group. Mm
-hmm. So
671
00:33:43,420 --> 00:33:45,920
that's it Like they just
do not like this group of
672
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,820
people and that's like
since he is part sentinel
673
00:33:48,820 --> 00:33:52,160
and Nimrod in His mind
like he can never overcome
674
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,940
that like my whole thing
is to destroy the mutants.
675
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:55,680
Mm
-hmm. That's
676
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:57,980
his whole goal Okay, that's
it got it So not
677
00:33:57,980 --> 00:34:00,600
necessarily like I want to
take over the world even
678
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,080
though like in the comics
I do believe he has a
679
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,320
position of power like in
the Pentagon like that's
680
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:08,420
how he weasels his way
through And this he might
681
00:34:08,420 --> 00:34:10,780
also I think gone up in
the ranks a little bit
682
00:34:10,780 --> 00:34:13,420
We'll see I have a theory
about him and forge like I
683
00:34:13,420 --> 00:34:16,780
believe we see a photo
with forge in him So I
684
00:34:16,780 --> 00:34:19,400
feel like for just past
still gonna catch up with
685
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:22,300
him But yeah, he just
wants to kill mutants.
686
00:34:22,500 --> 00:34:23,480
That's
it. All
687
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:26,340
right Just a bigot and so
he's working with mr.
688
00:34:26,420 --> 00:34:29,260
Sinister
who's a very talented
689
00:34:29,260 --> 00:34:32,620
engineer to create these
new sentinels. Yep
690
00:34:33,980 --> 00:34:36,580
Human sentinels. Yes
prime sentinels as they're
691
00:34:36,580 --> 00:34:40,400
called which as we saw
with Trask is They're not
692
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:43,239
easy to take down. No
and and like Trask is a
693
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:47,860
human So when we see who
he has in captivity if he
694
00:34:47,860 --> 00:34:50,020
creates a sentinel out of
that person Well, that's
695
00:34:50,020 --> 00:34:51,460
pretty you can say the
name. I
696
00:34:51,460 --> 00:34:53,920
mean, well, I wanted you
to say it I wanted you to
697
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:59,340
Give the biggie. Thank
you Yeah, Magneto's alive
698
00:34:59,340 --> 00:35:03,900
and he's getting a nice
clean shave by Bastion
699
00:35:03,900 --> 00:35:08,120
which is very scary and I
don't understand why Because
700
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,280
he wants him to look good
for his debut. I
701
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:12,180
guess. Yeah,
and you know, I think I
702
00:35:12,180 --> 00:35:19,380
feel like the purple people
leader is Magneto What do
703
00:35:19,380 --> 00:35:21,940
you mean like this song is
about a one -eyed one horn
704
00:35:21,940 --> 00:35:24,680
flying purple people leader
and he's gonna change
705
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:28,160
Magneto into I hope not
like that's gonna that's
706
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,520
probably what's gonna happen
But like that sucks because
707
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:32,880
it seems like right. That's
what he did to Trask and
708
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:37,440
he's saying like yeah the
one the Prime Sentinel that
709
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,580
Trask was was formidable,
but imagine someone who
710
00:35:39,580 --> 00:35:41,720
actually has power what
that would be like I'm
711
00:35:41,720 --> 00:35:44,720
curious if so he knows
Xavier is alive and he
712
00:35:44,720 --> 00:35:47,060
knows that the X -Men have
been selling the world of
713
00:35:47,060 --> 00:35:50,920
lie Why we don't know yet,
but he now knows so he
714
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:53,920
has that car up his sleeve
to be like they're been
715
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:55,560
lying about this They said
he's dead. He's
716
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,380
not so that's gonna create
a whole big issue And then
717
00:35:58,380 --> 00:36:01,340
if he does turn Magneto
into a Sentinel of some
718
00:36:01,340 --> 00:36:04,540
type or can can just
control him That's also
719
00:36:04,540 --> 00:36:06,920
gonna be bad. So
it's almost like he is
720
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,620
going to be able to
destroy the X -Men with
721
00:36:09,620 --> 00:36:12,300
themselves And that's
terrifying. He's
722
00:36:12,300 --> 00:36:14,980
going to implate he play
on their internal drama
723
00:36:15,660 --> 00:36:18,160
Well, I think thank you
personally. I
724
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:21,320
think that they're gonna
tear each other out I
725
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:24,220
think that I still don't
think that the X -Men know
726
00:36:24,220 --> 00:36:26,960
that Xavier is alive. I
think they do I think that
727
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,340
he's gonna come back and
they're gonna be like wait
728
00:36:29,340 --> 00:36:31,540
a minute. You
were alive this entire time
729
00:36:31,540 --> 00:36:35,440
and then Maybe Bastion's
gonna be like oh, so you
730
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:38,980
didn't know maybe they did
know but he wiped it from
731
00:36:38,980 --> 00:36:40,620
their memories or something
I don't know. Maybe
732
00:36:40,627 --> 00:36:43,660
like I don't know I just
find it weird that they
733
00:36:43,660 --> 00:36:50,220
don't know that he's alive
and he If if Xavier left
734
00:36:50,220 --> 00:36:53,020
without them knowing why
wouldn't he be trying to
735
00:36:53,020 --> 00:36:55,260
get back? Like
that doesn't make sense to
736
00:36:55,260 --> 00:36:58,980
me because he fell in love
with the bird people I
737
00:36:58,980 --> 00:37:01,080
don't think that's not
enough for Xavier because
738
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:02,900
as soon as he knew they
were in trouble He wants
739
00:37:02,900 --> 00:37:05,420
to go back. You
know what I mean like So
740
00:37:05,420 --> 00:37:09,180
then I guess what is the
benefit of faking his death
741
00:37:09,180 --> 00:37:11,660
to the world that's the
point I don't know. I
742
00:37:11,660 --> 00:37:17,040
guess we have to find out
why Where storm Any episode
743
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:20,320
without storm in it is not
a 10 out of 10 agreed
744
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:23,400
agreed So hopefully she'll
be back for this three
745
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,000
parter that's coming along
with her powers and her
746
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,940
great new outfit and
everything and You know,
747
00:37:28,940 --> 00:37:31,220
we'll have to watch them
get the snot beat out of
748
00:37:31,220 --> 00:37:34,460
them for two episodes And
hopefully they have some
749
00:37:34,460 --> 00:37:36,200
sort of victory in the
third one. Yeah,
750
00:37:36,220 --> 00:37:38,500
I'm very curious to see
what's gonna happen So
751
00:37:38,500 --> 00:37:41,240
cable is gonna be a big
part Where do we go from
752
00:37:41,240 --> 00:37:42,700
here? I
mean, they don't even
753
00:37:42,700 --> 00:37:47,540
really know bastion is The
mastermind no, we know that
754
00:37:47,540 --> 00:37:49,980
yeah, oh, that's it lots
to go. Okay,
755
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,200
we're gonna have lots to
talk about the finale. So
756
00:37:53,580 --> 00:37:55,760
Let us know what you
thought of this episode was
757
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:59,660
dark. There's
great cameos terrifying
758
00:37:59,660 --> 00:38:03,520
smothering of people while
one one horn flying people
759
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:06,620
people either played That's
everything we love the X
760
00:38:06,620 --> 00:38:10,340
-Men for Needle drops and
smothering. Hello
761
00:38:10,340 --> 00:38:13,060
the drama. It's
just the drama. Oh,
762
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:14,740
all right. So
next week
763
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:37,660
