Hello ladies and chentlemen, and welcome back to the X Men ninety seven review.
This week episode seven on the clown Prince of Diamonds, shine and bright
like a diamond, try to snell. I'm joined by I am Shield,
Kirkland, Patzer, Travis who didn't do your Your intro to us to me
last week was the peak and I know you nailed it and then you just
yeah retired. I'm the poor man's Oppenheimer, dying less, the Purple People
leader Taylor Fields got the sunny d out. I haven't seen sunny d since
the elementary school era. Yeah, what, I'm supposed to be the dumble
one on this cast. Kirkland, I pronounced yeah. We're at Costco one
day, saw a big case of this and man, I used to pound
back, probably say this for original. So check out. There'll be up.
So we'll talk about the sign of d Aventures. So there you go,
there's a tease. Let's circle back. Make sure you remind me this
week we'll I drink too. There you go. Well then we'll talk about
Taylor's drinking problem. But yeah, anyway, so yeah, no check out
because on Friday we'll be dropping the Bread and Butter, which is the excellent
Fantasy Fantasy Draft cast Part two, The Villains, Magneto, Sinister Mojo,
the bone Breaker, all that good jazz, Mystique, Emma Frosd So that's
really good. And then also same thing on Thursday will be dropping the Originals,
which we'll just as usual updates on our lives about suff and then we're
gonna give ourselves some team names because we've always said, what what do we
call like a cast? That's me Dylan and Kirkler. What do we call
cast? That's me Dylan Taylor. Like, We're gonna create little unit names
based off side Quest a couple of weeks ago. So check out some good
stuff happening there. Lots of other good stuff on the feed. We just
did a new cast draw or breaking down dead Pool Wolverines off, so you're
if you're an next fan, check that out side Quest. This week,
you guys talked about some Shire, which I was pretty much in line with
your thoughts. One I was. I thought it was gonna be all positive.
I you took the words out of my mouth. There is very well
go there. I just had to had to do that for you. But
yeah, listen to the episode because you'll be like, what does Dylan think?
Whatever Dylan thinks, that's what I think. And yeah, lots of
other good stuff. Right now, the Mad Max retro is starting. The
first one just dropped. All three are on Patreon, and then with planning
the apes, there's two lefts and get those on Patreon right now if you
want want want that. And then next week the Aliens retrospective will be starting.
So lots of fun one going on there and Strangers too. I think
we're doing Strangers only two movies. It looks like it's gonna line up as
long as Kirkland doesn't cancel last minute as last time. But that's okay,
No, it wasn't you this for another cast. There's an excellent, fancy
cast, but I just put it on us. So everything you need to
know it's down below head of a Patreon support us at free early episodes.
We'd really appreciate the support. That's how you can get more episodes like extra
newscast retros, side quest, the additions, all that could jazz after nine.
The last plug is this Saturday at six pm PST Saturday six pm PSD,
Phase two tiering up you can call in and talk. Who knows what
we're gonna be talking about. I think in the discord, which I'm not
trying to be negative, but we've like float around the idea of talking about
actors we don't like. I don't know how we decided that as a topic,
but I go where the people go clean collect because yeah, he had
a hot take of saying like he had his list of actors and Anthony Hopkins
was on there, and everyone was like, whoa man, that's a two
time Academy Award winner. That's Hannimal elector what's going on? That's funny because
this has happened a few months ago where me and Kirkland did a side Quest
episode where we did a ranking of our favorite video game titles, and he's
like, oh, I love this. You guys should do an episode is
just your least favorite games, the games you hate. So I don't know
what it is. Maybe he just he really likes the hate angle of the
rankings or absolutely preaking negativity. So I don't know. It's a different side
of things, but I'm I'm open to it. Look at him lately,
just go to his letter box and know he's he's been turning the dark Side.
I don't know when. Maybe we'll have to if he's on aftern I
interview him and say, hey, when you turn the dark side. But
I'm down to talk about that. Gotta be careful. We're directing movies now,
so I gotta make sure. Like I don't want to say anything about
actors who want to work with, Like I don't look at me in the
camera, look at in the face, Jared Lettle, Anthony Hopkins. I
don't want to work with Jared Lettle ever, so don't. I don't give
a shit about what we say about this individual. But anybody else gotta be
gotta be careful, you know, So I'll take them. I'll take Jared
Lettle, you will, why not? Power? Yeah the name. Let's
get some butts and seats because Morbius did so well? Yeah, Like,
just because it's Jared Letto doesn't mean you have to attribute one Morbius to his
since has he done any movies since? No, there's no evidence that since.
But like I don't think about Morbius, like like when I think Jared
Letto, I don't think Morbius. Maybe I do more so than I think
I do, because for whatever reason Taylor made our group chat a picture of
Morbius and I just can't It's just it's got the Bilbo every day. Yeah,
it's a good edit, Kirk the before we move on, can you
need me one hit movie at Jared lettle that he started Spider's Club? Had
he starred in? He stars in that? No, he doesn't star in
that. That's Matthew mcconnie's movie. Who won for lead Actor? Who won
for lead Actor? Doesn't mean he's not a star in it actor? You
know this week's episode movie? Did he start in? More importantly, star
in Golden Geeks? Would he have been a leader? Supporting support of that?
Okay? Exactly is a big star though, Yeah, I don't think
it's the same, But I don't know. We're here to talk x Men,
not jere Go. After nine, we'll circle back to this topic.
Stairs entered the chat. Yeah, yes, Kirklyn, you can start us
off. You know, throw a good take out there. You know,
he just threw a couple of bad ones with Jared Letto. So what did
you feel about episode seventh Ofbviously We're back. We took a little break last
week to visit Xavier see storm get our powers, et cetera. But what
do you think about this week's episode? I thought this, I thought this
week's season was well, the season has been great. I you know,
I wasn't here for you guys review last week, but I listened to it
and I agreed pretty much aligned with all of you on all that stuff.
I feel like I was a little bit more positive than you were on the
she Are mostly just because I think the shear stuff that was shown in that
episode was just like ten times better than what was shown in the previous like
version of X Men, like the ninety two series. So I liked just
a little bit more of seeing just seeing some cool characters like Gladiator, Showcase,
Like, I thought that stuff was really good. But how many films
would you give last week's one thumb one one solid thumb up. Yeah,
very very firm and solid. Maybe Diamond Lake. But yeah, So for
this week's episode, I think it is a step up overall. It's it's
I almost gave away my thumb rating. But no, I think there's some
really good juice in here. I think that there's finally getting like some stuff
with characters that I feel like maybe have been a little bit dormant so far
in this season, so that's been nice, particularly a rogue like character.
I kind of liked where she was at in this episode. And yeah,
no, I I think it's uh, it's nice to also, I'm gonna
teeter around little spoiler here, it's nice to know who my big bad is
and it's not kind of who I would have maybe expected it to be,
so that that that's a that's a positive is a little bit surprising there,
But no, overall, I think this is a good one. It was
a nice just after like feeling the aftermath I think of last week, especially
just with how big of an event the whole Genosha thing is. Like it
it's nice that it's not just oh, yeah, that happened and then and
then like the next episode we're just like not really feeling those effects because it
is a major attack obviously that happened, uh to that country. So yeah,
I think I got definitely some questions, uh for for some things,
but yeah, I'll say questions that need answering, the questions that need an
three exactly question. And it was nice to also get a face to face
with a certain father son. So yeah, non Kirkland did the like the
classic like sports without context, where like he didn't drop any spoilers, but
he like spoiled everything. But it's okay because it's not anything specific. So
you're like, I guess, you know it could be this, but if
you listen to any episode, but mister Field, what do you think?
Yeah? I think it was. It was nice to kind of dabble into
some narratives that were left open ended after the whole genotia thing, So I
think getting to explore a little bit more of the fallout of that and seeing
how certain characters are handling the situation is very interesting. Uh. There were
a couple of surprises in this episode that I really welcomed that were nice surprised,
But overall, I think that this just feels like a semi calm post
storm situation, and we'll get we'll get something that's being like like literally post
storm, really post storm, so we'll get something that's gonna be amped up
here soon. Because what we got with janoshit felt like a mid week or
not a mid week, but like a mid season like finale, and then
they're getting like this moving into like the eventually building up to the season finale.
So I love everything that we got in this episode, I think it
was great, and it's it's just gonna be interesting to see the fallout from
this episode's ending into what we get in the next episode, because we got
a lot that they kind of explored here at the end, and there's there's
some things that I have questions about too that I'm excited to look into.
So questions that need answering, questions, mister Muss. Yeah, this this
is an awesome episode. I really enjoyed it. This might sound weird described
episode this way, but I feel like there wasn't a whole lot of action
there. There was action in here, just there's so much happening, but
I felt for the most part it is more about really digg into some characters,
focusing on some certain relationships, and yeah, just like slower kind of
exploring the post war Genosha situation, and I felt all that was really engaging,
some really fun story stuff here. And yeah, like my biggest worry
from a couple of weeks ago is like, are we gonna undo some of
this stuff with time travel? All these big stakes that we established and we're
not. We're gonna stick with it. We're gonna deal with it, and
I really like that. I'm really happy they they are sticking with those those
big decisions. At least you don't think there could be time for that still
with three episodes left, you don't think there's a trip down memory lane to
save a person or two. I agree with you, I don't think so.
But there's still time for them to that's the spoilers discussion. But like
who would we go save? Like who for the story do we need to
do? That's a question that needs answering. Yeah, first, first post
spoilers topic. There we go. What we're gonna talk about first, Yeah,
we'll circle back on that one. But I mean, this is an
episode that is so dense with the dialogue. I mean, the whole show
has had really good writing, but in particular this episode just writing now multiple
quotes, and there's a situation where I'm watching the show, I'm recording notes
at the same time, and then in the time when I'm writing my note
and I'm like half paying attention, I'm realizing I'm missing some other cool things.
I'm going back rewatching things, or just listening to certain dialogue over and
over again. There's just so much, so much juice to be squeezed out
of like every line of dialogue. It's such a good episode in that way.
And yeah, it's like this episode was as long as the rest of
them. I think I didn't look at the run time, but when it
was over, I'm like, man, how did that episode go by so
quick? There was so much that happened, But like, I still just
can't wait for next week's episode. So I really liked the different feel and
vibe of this episode, and also there was things that we didn't even get
to, Like we just we spent way more time here in this section than
I thought we would in the greater story of it, which I'm happy we
did, and I don't hopefully I don't regret that because we're already getting near
the end of the show and like I feel like we're not spending enough time
with the big the bigger stuff that's come to come. But man, I
really really enjoyed this episode. It was was a top notch one for me.
Yeah, no, my echo all the pauses. We're back to formula
here now that there's anything really wrong with last week's episode. Again, if
last week's episode and the Motendo Slash Deaf Life Part one are the weakest or
low points of the show. That's pretty dang good because those are good episodes
within their own right. So no, it's fantastic. It's it is very
much like today said, it is the calm before the storm. It feels
like we're sitting up all the pieces, especially as we know the next three
episodes. It's a three parter finale in a sense like obviously there's episode ten's
the finale, but really it is a three partter finale. So I think
this really got all the players on the board. Has constant twists and reveals,
which is great. Things that makes sense, things that people theorize.
I thought, ah, I don't know for going that route, and we
are going that route. So I think it's really cool. And I think
it's just that, not that it has to be like, oh, because
they're doing what I want is great. It's just stuff that we your guys
or didn't predictions of, like oh, it'd be great if they did this,
or it'd be great if we maybe got a new Battie and stuff like
that, and it's just great that there's certain aspects, whether it is touching
upon on things the old show did or doing things the old show never did
at all. Yeah, just continues to be a home run. It's the
show is just fantastic, and I'm gonna be very sad. I hope that.
I know they've been working on season two. We're already to record it,
but I hope it's not some big long like House of Drag and Last
of Us lay off or we're waiting two and a half three years two.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Cindia is gonna be fucking
forty by telling me it's gonna be her with her kids in high school.
But uh yeah, so I'm yeah loved it. Can't say I don't really
have I don't think any negatives. Maybe we're talking about there might be something,
but nothing to an extreme amount. This show just continues to just be
such uh such a delight, a weekly delight. Just tune on and just
like and this was one where last week I can't remember if it's that in
Montana, there was one where I started and open ill tired. But these
episodes about the main connuity, I'm just like my eyes are wide open,
wide, like I'm like just like I can't believe, yeah I am.
And I'm literally pausing and stopping because I'm like, oh, how much is
laughing? Like, oh no, only ten minutes, only five minutes,
Like you just have it open on like seven screens, like watching at different
points watching the original series. My kids get no sleep with all the echoes.
That's me, man, I I love it so I can't wait,
and it's sad. It's me over in three weeks when we enjoy it.
So anything else, No, Okay, we're gonna take our first at breaks.
If you've not seen the episode, which you should as always be,
this one has some also big spoilers. Tune out, come back later.
We'll be right back and we're back. So let's circle back to the conversation
of who they could go gam It's still dead, so they could easily just
go, oh, we gotta get Gamma back. We gotta get Remy back.
He's our friend. We got a chance to save him. Let's save
him. I feel like if they were gonna do it, they would have
done now why though they just met Cable so easy at the beginning of next
episod, we'd be like, oh, I have time travel and oh,
you guys feel like we need Gamut for this vision. I can get Gambit,
like I know he did that already. I don't think they're gonna I
think they're gonna stick to their guns. I'm just saying we're not out of
the woods yet because three episodes is a long time. They do time travel
a lot and multiple times in this show. I hope not with the reveal
of Magneto, and I think Prior is definitely not dead because the fact that
they can't find a body is and already the new villain's like, I got
something you might want. So it's like, oh, Madeline's like fucking in
a tank somewhere, floating around, I imagine. So I think she's dead
too, No, she's not dead. I think I think Bashan has her
because he says, you do something for me, I'll do something for you,
And I think he's gonna want his hands on man, the Prior sinister.
So I think that's what Bashan has. The same way as Magneta locked
up. I think he is Prior locked up somewhere so he can make a
deal. Now, see, did I miss a whole bashing thing with Bashian?
Tell me about Bastian. That is the villain, that's the Purple people
eater. He is a big time X villain. He is a combination of
Nimrod and Master Mold put together, and he's just pretty much designed. He
is a like a terminator cybernetic type of guy. Uh shot many people out
of the Seer. But in our chat last week and Patron God Loves Me
sixty nine, he said he thought they were going the bashing route, and
I thought, eh, I even said that, So I'm like, I
don't know. I just didn't see them making that poll, and they did.
They did not know. I said, it make sense. I just
it's like what we said though, because I just thought, oh, they're
just gonna do sinister, like the way they revealed it, like oh,
it's just sinister. But I love that there was a double reveal. But
I think with Bashian he's like the new endgame villain. Now. He said
specifically, I have something you would want, So I think he does have
Madeline locked up somewhere, just because if they found her body, they found
other people's bodies, they haven't found hers. They're still kind of making Gene
and Scott like not together when they said, well, this time is different.
I do have a backup theory to that. But I do think that
Bashan has prior I do. I was really confused when we had there because
I don't think they actually say his name on screen. I just knew that
because of the subtitles. So every time he was talking just a fashion and
then I believe his dialogue to mister Sinister was like you villains of old or
blah blah blah, and then he's like, an, I've evolved. But
then Sinister is like, but you're also a villain of Old or something along
the lines. I'm major parapherason here. I apologies because if he's a combination
of Nimrod and Master Mold right like it's taking from okay. I was just
like, man, I do not remember this chap at all. I thought
apocalypse because of the color scheme alone and because of who he is, and
I thought that was like part of the evolution he was talking about, is
that he decided or chose or whatever it is of trying to evolve into a
human and that was like his next step, you know, still mixed with
the cybernetics. So clearly that's not the case. But and he was in
the Genosha destruction episode as well. Everyone wasn't sure if it was confirmed or
not. But in the club there's a zoot. It's when Rogan Magnito are
talking. They have like a bird's eye view and they have some walk by
in like the left corner. You just kind of see their shoulder on their
face. But people thought because the hair was bashing, So it's definitely Bashian.
So that's where they already play the subtitles. I mean it's confirmed you
well, of course yeah it is. But that's where even a couple of
episodes go. I still like, ah, that might just be like a
fun easter egg for fans to be like, oh, that could be Bashian,
who knows, But yeah, he's he's the next evolution of obviously saw
the OZT Like he's just like a Worse Friends of Humanity, except like now
he's cybernetics going after mutants and he's like gonna kill you all operations zero tolerance.
Well, we definitely there was a shot too, and I can't remember
what section it's in, but you definitely see Nimrod for a second in this
like in the mouth of that master mold. I think it's like a flashback
sequence maybe when they're talking to Trask about everything that went on there and there's
like a shot of what looked like Nimrod to me, So I'd have to
go back and look at that now because I didn't think that was really that
meaningful. I thought, oh, maybe a Nimrod's back just hanging out.
But uh, that makes sense a lot more sense now. Yeah, so
we'll see. I hope Gambit stays dead. I hope it all stays.
But like I said, I think Prior can still be kicking. But I
still I'm hoping because Cable said, hey, I came back, I'm too
late that they won't do it, but there's always a chance. But I
hope they stick. They stick to it. It's such a big point in
the show, and as usual, I won't keep saying it, but I
will. It'll bring the season down for me if Gambut comes back at the
end of show, like all the episodes, to me will go down a
little bit. Yeah, I mean, I think that would take away a
lot from I mean, it's the motivation for Xavier coming back. It's what
led Rogue on this just war path unintended there with the x my character and
just go fuck up a bunch of people. And that's with Captain America and
all these other characters. Yeah, I mean it takes away from that really
touching speech that night Cruler gave for this man as well. So I definitely
don't want it to happen. I don't think it will at this point.
I think they want to deal with the stakes of it. And then I
also feel like there's a perspective from the characters, probably particularly Cyclops, where
okay, maybe Cable allows them somehow to pull a gambit back into this,
but then I feel like, yeah, Psychlops would be like, well,
if we can't save everyone who died in Genosha, then that's there's something about
that that's not fair. It's not right to do it that way. Just
bring back one guy, And I think that would maybe seem like a bit
of a cop out too. So yeah, I don't I hope we don't
got that wrong, but I'm feeling pretty good that we're not going to do
it at this point. I'm still feeling pretty confident though that Madeline Pryor and
I mean nim next to her was Shaw, so I'm guessing he's dead too,
which is less meaningful. Callisto and Leach we saw in the pictures,
so we know that they're for sure dead, but that was not really a
surprise given which where they were confirms that Magneto used Leech as a human shield.
So yeah, or remains nowhere to be found, or those machines were
just programmed to get Magneto right, because some people I think it was actually
a couple of people behinds on Marvel Alliance. We had talked about all the
sins there's colors were there, So maybe that's the thing where he didn't actually
kill him. It just like transported Magneto to another spot. Okay, so
yeah, so that's where to me. I just think with I, like
I said, I'm still team. I think Madelan's alive. I think because
they kept looking for the second they found one mutant, squat's like Madeline,
like Jean's finally like oh but we've always found a way, and the second
like we got one, he's like Madlon Madeline like he just like freaked out.
Yeah, but they had her body. That doesn't make any sense,
No, they didn't. That's the short hair girl. Again, don't that
they found They didn't have Madelon's body yet, you keep confusing the two.
They haven't found Madeline's. We haven't seen Madeline dead or found her body yet,
because that was the short haired girl. We saw her again this week
where they threw her down on the ground and it was her hair was cut.
Remember, I don't like that they had a character that looks so similar
to I think that they did it. But yeah, so we've not seen
Madelon Pryor's body yet, and I just think, in comic fashion, if
you don't see, disagree, I disagree. I disagree. And I also
feel like Cyclops's dialogue here in this episode tell me that he's dealing with the
fact that she's dead. Him and Gene are like talking about the fact that
she's dead and that they have that as a confirmation. And then I guess
if I feel like he would, he wouldn't be back at the X mansion
at all if he didn't have that confirmation that she was dead. He'd be
going there searching the whole time. He wouldn't waste any time trying to find
her. Yeah, but they didn't have that carmation because remember they found the
body and it was Emma Frost. He's like, oh, Madeline, so
he thought she was alive. He's hoping. So they still found that body
and then the only reason they leave is because they find out Rogue is fucking
around. So I I just and like I said, that line of bash
of being like I got something for you, mister sinister, that to me
is like because he doesn't have Cable. I don't think it's never mind the
summer, what will you guys? Where are you on the Madeline? And
is she alive? You know, I think that Madeline's still kicking somewhere.
I just just for the pure I feel like it would be a bigger moment
of like realization that she's for sure gone just because of uh. I mean,
I guess Cable wasn't in this episode for very long, but so maybe
it's shade at Gene. Yeah you're not her bitch. I love Cable Man
so much. It's a different voice actor. Right from the ritual, it
is sounds like, oh, yeah, it's the guy who voiced Gambit in
the original series. He's now doing Cable so fun little leg also just like
no new guy. Forget there was a new person for Gambit. And then
he yeah, that's really weird. I don't know why he especially because of
the original voice actress for Row, but yeah, so original voice actress Roe.
Gambit has a new voice actor, but the original Gambuit voice does Cable.
That's a question that he's answering. The old James does bashing. That
was the big people were wondering who it was gonna be. Everyone at first
thought it was gonna be Cable because everyone thought, Okay, they're gonna do
that. I thought it was gonna be Catching America because he wasn't Cable and
that, oh well, we got Cap coming up. That could be fun,
and I'll steel talk more about Basha, but yeah, he is Bashian.
So even Cap felt a little Chris Evans for me. Maybe I'm just
like, I'm like, I'm like in my mind, it's like it's like
filtering out certain voices, certain words. He sounded like the rich. I
don't know for sure, but he sounded like the one the season five because
he sounded very old timing. Okay, well did the episode. You go
back and you can listen to that. Madlon Pryor I think is still kicking.
I agree with the guys it would bring down the show. But I
actually think that they're going to bring Gambit back. Oh yeah, and maybe
not this season, which I think would be better if it is, you
know, separated from the season. But I'm just so not convinced that they
would have the kahonas to really just permanently kill off Gambit like that. And
I don't know. I'll believe it when I see it. And by see
it, I mean the season will end and I don't see him come back.
But that's just where I'm at right now. I don't think it's gonna
happen. The only way I'm fine with it. He was the first person
I heard from, and I'm sure it was him or other people. Same
thing. Check out Marble Liones Gee hold the lines you know our spinoff podcast
network Chris has brought up, which, yes, it's not a great storyline.
But the only way I will accept Gambut coming back is if next season
he is a member of the Four Horsemen, and I'm down for that.
That's how I think we can get Gambit back. Yeah, Chills, If
we can get Gambit back as a pseudo villain, you win him back,
then I'm okay with it. But if it's time travel, how would that
work? Why would he do that? Well, apocalyps could just like come
back and raise people from the dead, and he decides Gambit is a good
horseman or something. Who knows, so that's the only way hard and not
have like free will or something. Sometimes they don't really know what the fuck.
Sometimes they don't like sometimes they just take like sometimes they choose to be
with the Apocalypse, and sometimes they're just like brainwashed. I'm pretty sure Angel
remember he was brainwashed in X Men in the original series, right when he
was Apocalypse Guy in the tune and loved the power so much that he was
just tripping on it and willing to It's like a venom suit thing, right
where it's like you like the power, but then you realize some bad stuff's
going. So I would be down for that because I think that'd be a
great cliffhanger, get Rogue versus Gambit. That's I'm down for. So I
think you could just use mystique to get some funny stuff like that happening where
you mess with the X Men by her appearing as Gambit. I don't know.
I think I think I'd like something like that more. I mean,
they could convince me, but in theory, morph just starts messing with everyone
could be morph man. What about you, Taylor, where are you on
the death smiling Pryor all that is alive. Absolutely, Oh you talk to
her? Yeah, confirmed, right here, right now. She's alive.
She's I don't know if she's in a tank er, she's buried under something,
but she's definitely there, uh, whether or not Emma Frost and Scott
are going to get a fling going on now, so Dylan saw it.
That was the only thing that gave me pause for Madeline being alive is the
fact that Emma Frost was there in diamond form Scott and Jane Founder as like,
I think either way, Gene and Scott aren't together. I think there's
still chance Madeline's alive and then dies in the finale. Like I'm not saying
she's gonna make out of the season, but I think she's still alive live.
But Emma Frost being there definitely gave me some pause about they're they're laying
some groundwork here for Scott to get interested. So I love that moment so
much. I was just like, man, this is how we get her
to a maybe more like a a good side right here, Like this one
moment right here is just it's like they're doing it. We're a getting Emma
Frost on the X Men. I think either way. I think so because
they confirm Shaw was dead, so I think either way she will have a
change of heart. And even if she's not with Scott next season, I
think she could join the team. And I'm I'm looking very for so oh
yeah, get going. Yeah. I like the just the survival instinct kicking
in of her kind of evolving her power and discovering this new thing was uh,
it was cool and interesting. Going back a little bit, trying to
remember what is the origin of Nimrod as a character, because he was also
a time traveling sort of guy, right, but I'm trying to remember,
Oh God, who sent made by master Mold in the future. It's something
like, yeah, through time. Okay, I couldn't remember who was Apocalypse
related. Probably just mixing up the color skin again, the freaking white and
pink. No. I think Taylor has the Nimrod master Mold connection, and
that would make sense with bashing and stuff, because that's not stuff I'm read
on, because that's I said in the regional we review Them'm not a fan
of the big robots they are. That's why even bashing, I'm like,
like, I like bashion enough, but the big robots aren't mine red man.
He's like a robot. He's a man like yeah, he's a man
with a yeah. I don't know, it's just like because it just gets
that. We've talked about that sometimes to sci fi. But I think Taylor's
on the right track of the egg and chicken scenario thing. So gotcha?
Okay, cool, So they're not coming back, but I guess we should
just talk him now. And we got the big so we talked about last
week where you know, Kirkle was here, but I think I'm not sure
if Kirkling, Well you said nonspoy. It sounds like you kind of shared
the sentiment where we're all like, okay, it's just Sinister. We know
what we know. Here we go good villain alas. But in this one,
uh, we got the full reveal of Bash. I'm trying to remember
what his full on scene was. Oh, his introduction was to Garrett.
Garrett survived the Rogue Coma only to be destroyed by Bash. I don't know
what Basha did to him, but just sucking his life for us. I'm
talking for this animated show. Oh yeah, big time. He's talking with
Sinister they're making some plans. We already refer that dialogue, and then they
also revealed that he is has be needle all locked up. He has one
of those callers on him, so he's depowering him. Uh, and he
was given them a nice clean shave saying don't move or he's gonna pretty much
slow his throat. So he's getting ready for getting ready for something. So
do you, guys, obviously was only a handful of minutes, what are
your impressions of bashing, especially now you know he's a cybernetic human kind of
he's not human. He he just takes the form of human. He is
a full and just robot type of character. But what are your impressions on
the reveal that not being sinister and just bashing so far, I'll say that
just esthetically, I think he's really fun in terms of he's just he's a
different kind of villain that we've seen in the show before. He's chewing the
scenery, he's very suave. He's like just this thing he's doing with Magneto
is like a psychopath type of activity, which is not something like, yes,
Apocalypse is doing psychopath type things. He's murdering people and stuff, but
it's a different kind of thing where it's like the cheesy Saturday Morning cartoon villain
the classic versus something like this that feels a bit more mature, I suppose.
So I really like just the general appeal of him in that way,
and I think time will only tell how strong of a villain he'll be in
the grand scheme of things. I don't know if I love yet that sinister
is kind of actually a number two revealed a camera, or maybe that wasn't
the case until just recently. In their dynamics, we kind of have to
see a bit more there. Did watch that scene a couple of times just
to hear their dialogue between each other. Again, it definitely seems like Bastionian's
in the power position there, but uh yeah, I yet to really see
his powers necessarily too, So even just on a power level, I don't
know who's stronger if the two of them were to fight for some particular reason,
So I don't know. I gotta wait and see. I don't know
if I would prefer just like a recurring an older villain. I think it's
good to get new blood in their fresh people, and I've never heard of
Bashian before last week's chat talking about it. So he's not a snap cauard.
He's not a snapcuard oh at the moment, So he will be after
this resurgence, you know he could be. Yeah, but yeah, So
I think I'm open to it for sure, but definitely need to see a
little bit more before I'm convinced on your point. Is Sinister being second fiddle,
I think that's he's for sure gonna be second fiddle, But I think
it's going to be in that way of in season four, remember when Apocalypse
was really popping off and Sinister is gonna you can destroy the world, like
just make sure I get like this, I get to help the creation.
I guess's gonna be like that where he doesn't really have too much interest in
what Bashian's main plan is. He just wants to help whatever lab or juice
he's working with, and it's like, oh, bashing can help me out.
And I do think Bashian would suck him up in a fight too,
because I don't think Sinistors are strongest. I think Bashian is pretty powerful.
It go that route, so I think he'll be that way, And I'm
just what, I'm curious if Sinister will actually make out the season this time,
or they're gonna, like, because this show I feeling is a bit
more I don't know, a bit more updated if they're gonna like kill him,
kill him, which I could actually see Sinister meeting his end for good
finally this go around. I mean, the one time he died, he
just like was a face in the sand. So I don't think he can
like truly die. I think he's just such a little entity that he never
They'll like they'll like do the end credits of Mario where they shrink Bowser and
they put them in like that little thing. That's what the two Sinators.
They'll like shrink them, put them somewhere, or they'll they'll find Kitty Pride
and she'll just take him to like the core of the earth and leave him
there and then pull back up. Jesus, I'll come back even stronger.
Yeah, Magma, Yeah, you wouldn't believe what Magma does with the summer
cells. Yeah for bashing. I feel like I really like the idea of
having a character that, I mean, it's not a recurring villain, so
it's someone new that's really nice and exciting. I I think I just don't
love the look of him right now because it just seems very Yeah, I
don't know what it is. Like maybe I'm just I'm used to like Sinister
is such an iconic look. Apocalypse isn't very iconic look as well. Nimrod
very very colorful entity even Master Mold like it's it's just a cool design for
this giant sentinel. So to just have this dude with a little chin strap
beard, you know, Yeah, I don't know. Like I I was
looking up, like I just google bashing because I didn't anything about this guy,
and I was just seeing some of these crazy images and I'm like,
man, I'm gonna get that. Give me some of these designs what I
want to see. I think you're gonna get all that. I think he's
this is just to like really in I'm like, oh, he's just a
dude. What's this thing? And then when battle, because I think that's
what's gonna happen. The X men are gonna come across him. He's not
gonna have any features, any immune powers, just like, well, we're
gonna fuck this guy up, and then scrings come out, all the tentacles
come out. So I think I think you're gonna get some of that.
I'm judging the book by its cover right now, but as you always,
I like, I like the idea of it, and yeah, I don't
know, I like even the scene with Magneto. Like, I agree,
it is kind of a disturbing scene because it is just so weird. But
I was just so perplexed on who the hell this dude was, Like I
was just really like going through my memory bank of like where did this guy
pop up? But now new chap, so yeah, I'm for it.
I'll try and hold back some of my criticisms of him right now. Yeah,
Taylor, a new Halloween costion for you. Halloween costume passion, Nimrod
cautions costumes, calling to me, please do Nimrod, Who's and Taylor?
Yeah? No, I'm always down for a new a new character to be
popping into the The X Men verse here and again, Bashi, this is
a character I thought, like, like you, Kirk, when I was
diving to the memory banks, thinking like what the fuck? Like which seasons
introduced this? I didn't say that. I was searching hard. Yeah,
get some fun up memory banks. That's why he's going through What the fuck
I think? I think the concept of just these two mutant hating contraptions that
have just like given birth to this consciousness of themselves, but in the new
ultra powerful, technologically advanced form that just hates mutants even more. It's like
just a crazy concept. But he hates mutants, but it is a mutant
as well, which is kind of weird when you think about it. So,
well, he's not a mutant technically, he's like a cyber net thing,
yeah series essentially, Yeah, yeah he should, Yeah, that's what
he is. He's just a terminator in the mute world, you know,
and instead of John Connor, he's after mutants. I'm excited to see what
his motivations are though obviously he just wants to eliminate all mutants. But I
feel like there's something more sinister here because mister sinister, because I feel like
there is any kind of sentinel or master mold necessarily to me wouldn't be making
a deal here. And this, like Sinister is a mutant. But then
you have this hater of all mutants making deals with a mutant. So it's
interesting to see what this, what this is going to turn into, what's
gonna blossom into. So he just wants to shave all faces of all mutants
and that share. I let him work on my neckline a little bit.
He looked like he was caressing the way better than your Tommy gun experience.
He does the warm claw off first. He knows his stuff. Man,
that was a nice detail they had. It's like opens the poors, like,
man, I want a little full steam mask right now. I like
that. It's the scenes with him too. It just pulls you out of
thinking like this this really is not, I mean a kids show because we
got we got through so much stuff. But I feel like maybe like young
kids that they can watch this, maybe because it's a cartoon, but I
don't feel like it is meant for that. I mentioned this before a few
episodes ago, that it just feels like this show is for that demographic that
grew up watching the original aimated series and now they've grown up and now they're
here. Because when uh it was it wasn't Trask what's his name? Garrett?
Garrett guy. He wakes up and he's like smiling, and then Bastian
just puts his hand over like just starts choking him. It was a prolonged
choke scenees like man, this is kids can't watch this. I don't know
this is this is dark stuff. The glasses fall off the bed. Yeah,
it depends. Yeah, my kids are watching it. They're okay,
but they've all seen Lore of the Rings. And once you see fucking what's
his name, who's got yeah, who's got killed Bormir Kirkland lots alerts,
alerts, alerts. Yeah, once you see him get yeah. And then
let's go back to where this all started being scept So we pick up kind
of a two fur of You got Gambit's funeral going on, which I got
some questions about some costume choices, but anyways, got Gambits funeral going on.
But then to the other side, everyone's like, well, where's Rogue.
She's not your get to She's just going around the world, messing people
up, destroying army bases, going rogue, you could say, doing whatever
she wants to do, not following the X men. Uh to the point
that we get two kids. So it's so fun that last week we got
rown in and we were I think all predictions were like I think I said
we get one, but we got Thunderbolt Ross, which is really cool because
I don't know if it was the same voice actor. Sounds similar, but
there is that Hulk animated show, and man, the crewer of the show
is also still hinting about the Spider Man, and he said like, oh,
you'll have to see. So like, I'm like, there was this
rumor going around a couple of weeks ago. He didn't do a newscast,
but it's like they're trying to wait to see what the reception of this show
is and going forward, if we can somehow get like a ninety seven animated
universe. I'm so I'm so ready for that, especially when we got Thunderbolt
Ross and then we got Captain America. They did reveal this last week when
they showed a Shield, so I knew this was coming. But it's a
fun tie in because if you're going chronological order, he did just appear in
the last season right within a flashback, so it's like if you were to
watch it all but like in a row, you go, oh, I
know this guy. This is the guy they just set up with Logan And
he even says his team, which to me is like is he just talking
about a Shield team or is he talking about like the team team? You
know, Like it just gets the juices flow and where I'm like, I
just won't do anything animated like the way Taylor. You know how I always
give Filoni shit for just spamming just the Clone Wars era. I want Marvel
to do that to the ninety seven era and just haul Avengers, Spider Man,
just give us all these all the characters and stuff. But all this
was great. With Rogue and the Captain America stuff was great. He was
like a fucking just perfect poster boy, like, oh no, this is
the right way we have to do. And I understand your grief. And
Rogue just tossing his shield and he just just accepting it. So she must
be having a tough time, you know, poor him. He just like
tosses his shield over a mountain and he's like yeah, yeah, but he
didn't say anything. She's grieving. So I loved everything about this. And
the Captain America just massive cherry on top I loved. I loved too.
Didn't resort in like a big fight or anything. He was trying his best
to be civil. So I loved all this stuff. Yeah, I know,
I thought it was great. It's a it's like a duo that I
never really would have pictured like if if someone asked me, like which X
men and like, I don't know an Avenger type character who would like I
never would have picked those two. And no, I agree with what you
said about Cap just being total Cap, like total boy scout, just just
saying all the things that Cap would normally say and not trying to be like
super like shutting her down like like she is the threat, gotta take her
down, like actually trying to be a little bit supportive there. And yeah,
I mean they touched upon it. It's kind of funny when she tosses
the shield, but just a great like shot too, when you have his
perspective, like looking through the little hole that she flew out of and then
she just dips. Yeah, yeah, I like that scene. Yeah,
all the the line of got to do this by the book rogue, my
hands are tied and then well, if your hands are tied, you won't
be needing this, Like just yeah, the dialogue there's so good, and
the tension of them just like kind of slowly pulling, like she pulls the
shield first, and then there's another shot and Cap kind of pulls the shield
back and then she pulls it back drops that line just gets out of there.
It's just the tension of that scene was so good, and I don't
know, just like from going from where they were where they're kind of friendly
working together, and then just as the convert station was going on, realizing
that their interests weren't actually aligned here even though they were after the same people.
I think it's just a really fun dynamic and also just like, yeah,
the little tiniest bit of world building of Rogue talking about like, you
know, we need your support and not just him, but like, yeah,
the team and what he stands for. And we don't really know the
status of the Avengers in this world necessarily and how much you know, respect
they have, but we can make some assumptions based on the other Marvel stuff
we've consumed, and I think that just was a really fun bit of world
building. So that was a fun cameo for sure. Yeah, it's it's
great because he was in the original. Now he's back in a different kind
of setting and interacting with a different character, So there's even room for some
other interaction of the meeting up of him and Wolverine again in the future,
which would be fun as well. I love seeing him in here. I
think it's a great cameo, and I like knowing too that, Okay,
we got the Hulk still kind of like popping off round here, but we
don't know for sure if Hulk and the same Avengers team members are actually on
his team. I would say at this point, like I imagine that what
he says when he says like he has the simble his team or get his
team all ready to go. I feel like that could be characters that we
haven't seen as main line Avengers before and not like a carbon copy of the
first Avengers movie. So I guess No, I don't know if they ever
did that. I don't think it'd be like Hawkey and Blackwood. I think
iron Man for sure, because he had his show back in the nineties as
well, and he was in the in the Spider Man Show Spider Man spider
Man. He he interacted with Captain America, iron Man. They were all
in his show at point X Men. But I don't think Spider Man would
be Avengers. No. I would hope that they just do the Spider Man
show. I think you'd have Tony Cap and Hulk for sure. I think
those three are locks if they ever want to venture into a little bit more
of the Avengers territory. So what if they did like a newer character or
do you think it would have to just stick to that Nineties are cartoons like
you wouldn't want to see I don't know Miles for example. I'm not saying
that specific character, but like a newer character like that. No, I
think you could do that. I just think those three because they had shows
like well, Captain I read a show he just popped up in the mall,
but cap On in the mall, Iron in Hulkhead shows, So I
think those ones, and then yeah, I'd be fine if it was like
Miss Marvel per Se or even Captain Marvel, like do one of those.
So again, this is long term book and made. This is bread and
butter in the future. But I just you know, I'm hoping Captain Marvel
is fucked up in this universe because of a cousin of Rogue. Right,
she was so komtos right, But that's how they could tie together. That
she wakes up and you've already introduced that character, right, and maybe she
wants to go beat up Rogue for a little bit and she's like, oh,
somehow've woken up and I have a new modernized outfit that is not as
cold as I was. I definitely got excited when I saw Rogue take Captain
America's shokes. Thought, Oh, is she gonna like just use it for
her this mission? That'd be kind of wild and cool. But when she
just fucking threw is it? Man? You got I gotta be like that.
I mean, I understand you're you're going through more than grief, as
night Crawler put it. But Na or maybe his beast that said that I
can't remember it is. I call her a beast. Both of them are
pretty poetic in this episode. Jubilee though, she's like that fucking rogue,
how could she not be here? You son up a bit, throw cap
shield away? I can you know what can go? Yeah, Julie can
go fund herself. You know what. She's at Gambits funeral and she is
wearing ear rings that say Jubi Lee on them. Get the funk out of
here. That's the most take them off. We all know that. Could
you could you imagine if one Taylor dies, we don't get a funeral I
show with ear rings or I have a suit that says Travis on you guys
be like you're a fucking asshole dude, Like this is not about you.
Like I loved this whole season, would have wanted maybe what about Julius,
Like come on, put on some different areas. She showing up your funeral
in a gv T shirt. I mean that's fine, but it doesn't say
Dylan on it. The GIV that's like us as a unit, my personal
brand. If she hadn't, if she had X men, I'd be like,
Okay, that's everybody, that's the group, their family, just Jubilee.
It's gonna important day. I need to get these Jubilee earrings on her
and Morphan go fuck each other this episode because more of the asshole too,
Like great moment, what because great bowen. I absolutely loved that the show
went there. They find ball over Trask. I love that rogue just asides
now I'm just gonna execute him, perfectly justified. It's great for morph to
be like and I love the line too, like is this who we are?
I don't know the man who's spent over a year plotting against his own
friends, helping them get kidnapped, captured, And that was just because oh
I'm scared of sinister Rogue's been through a lot of shit. They are literally
at war and more. It's gonna be like you could question, but the
way say this is who we are, Like he acted so high and mighty
above everybody else, Like, dude, you got no fucking room to stand
here. You, like I said, you were a trader of the team
for over the year, then you left for like five years, like no
more more, no ground to stand on whatsoever. But I loved that full
scene and like people pointing out Gene could have fucking saved that dude and she
didn't. So other people agree with Rogue on this scene that Baldertrash should have
ate it. You know, is more responsible for anyone's death subductions, I'm
sure, yeah, just a lit trauma. But you could say, though,
there's a chance that he's responsible for this whole gena Madeline thing too,
if he had any hand in helping Sinister in that era on the switch off
or just anything right, And that's a big one. The point I'm leading
towards that I feel like Morph is redeemed at this point. Yeah, I
think he's really I don't think he's redeemed, but he's not. He should
be the one that would know, oh, someone can make a mistake.
I don't think it would be for there could be other characters that call Rogue
out like a beast for him, he should be the one or they should
be the one to know, oh, I've been down a bad path.
I should help Rogue with this. But they're just throwing Rogan on the bus
in front of every which I like because I think they are splintering the team.
Scott again multiple times this episode was like telling the President to f off.
So I think there's a good chance at the end of the season that
the X Men aren't gonna We're gonna have two different teams. I really do,
because there there's a lot of tensions going on right now with this team
and they're not on the same I feel like, though, like the X
Men don't murder people, right, They'll kill robots all day long, but
they don't. They don't want to murder people. Now, maybe Apocalypse has
been smothering before, but he's cold times. Yeah, I guess they've tried
to fuck up Sinister, Like maybe they have. Maybe maybe I'm undoing what
I just said, but like, I don't think in that situation when this
person is not even fighting you anymore. It's not even self defense. It's
just it's like murders and a because he was like killing himself and then she
like saved him and then just dropped those truth Differently, it's an execution.
But I don't know, I feel like, even given the grief and trauma
that that Rogue is currently experiencing, I think Morph's point was totally valid and
it was kind of like the small little throwaway line. But I don't know.
I still think that there's a line that they don't want to cross,
and in that situation, that that line was definitely crossed by Rogue. I
agree with Dylan purely on the fact of like the X Men are supposed to
be, you know, like they're supposed to be better than than what like
a like a standard mutant should be, and that like all goes to Charles's
teaching and just like what he set up for what the X Men are,
and if they just kind of are able to like make their own rules on
who lives and dies, like that's just I feel like that's deviating from kind
of what Charles's path was. And you know, there's not an episode that
like lays out the tenets of Charles of like at least the x Men x
Men. But I just feel like that's the vibe I've been getting. Maybe
I'm wrong in that sense, but uh no, I agree with you there,
Dylan. I think morph was was truly justified and at least saying that
not necessarily like it's a pretty harmless kind of line. The way they said
it too, well he said it morph, yeah, or they said it,
I don't think so. I thought it was very judgmental morph. I
don't know. I just feel like, oh, is this is this how
we're doing things now? It was such a small little I guess we're just
killing people now, Like it was a totally value just like kill people now.
Yeah, I guess I missed that team meeting where we decided we're going
to murder our opponents now, especially after they back down and they're not a
threat to us. Is such a big line to cross. It is,
But this is also the person that just pulled off like the mutant nine to
eleven, you know, and what happened to the person that did nine to
eleven? They did not survive, Like that's where it's just like it's not
just gambit it's like hundreds of mutants, children, mutants, and it's just
like if anyone's gonna get I'm not saying you let him go free and you
give a million dollars to go live his life, like you throw him in
a cell, you know, you get him him Afri get out though,
you know he'll get out and then they'll make the neother sence and look what
happened here? He turns into fucking human setinel and things are popping off.
You know, there's always something, Yeah, there was was the was the
like what I'm trying to think what activated that mode? Like was he aware
that that was gonna happen when he like smashed himself. I don't think,
Well, I don't think somebody was trying to jump right, So maybe he
did. I took it easy. He wasn't aware, but we didn't really
get much of a you know, like a brain with it, which I
couldn't tell if rogue actually activated that. By I mean, I guess,
yeah, if she saved him, he in theory wouldn't have done that,
but maybe he could have just evolved at any moment. But yeah, once
again, I don't know if he was aware that he had that ability either.
I don't know why else he would have been like on the ledge though,
right, like unless he knew that that was gonna be happening to him,
because he's just so upset set with what he's done in the past.
I mean, that's what he said. He's like, I don't want to
be implicated in more of this nonsense, like let me just get out of
here. Yeah. But I mean, once again, as morph said earlier
too, like do we believe anything that this guy says. He's done a
lot of shitty things in his day. Definitely, And I will say whoever
made it, whether it's Nimrod, Master Mold Bash and you know, probably
Bashing, whoever made this, you know, robot and a person got to
fine tune it because there he would just punch beasts and he'd be like mute
and neutralized, like these munes are like down for the count, Like like,
yeah, he just threw him across the room. When it first happened,
I thought that he was killing all these people, and then I was
like, oh, we're definitely getting the time travel now because all these other
characters are dying. But no, it was just like I guess if he
got a strike on them, it does that confirmation voice even though normally because
I was thinking it was the same thing as like Master Bold, Master Moold's
thing was like, you know, no life signs detector whatever it was when
when that kill happened in the previous episode. So yeah, different software going
on between these between these bots, that's for sure. Taylor. Where are
you? You know we're in this situation right, Let's say we we have
a geek first, and now we've grown to thousands of us, right,
and not only are thousands of the listeners or one hundred listeners killed, this
person also responsible for the death of Madison. And apparently you had a second
side piece going on as well. So Madison and the person that you would
have chosen other Madison, and you're gonna, you know, you're gonna throw
this person off the cliff. Yeah, are you in the go ahead?
Are you like? You like more for you know, like, oh,
why why are we doing this? Oh? It's like Batman, like,
I don't have to What does he say that I don't have to. I
don't save you, but I don't know. I'm not gonna kill you,
but I don't have to save you either. But that was a different situation
than this. Rogue did like it just she she did, like, I
get I don't have to save you. I'm gonna kill you hers, what's
the flips? She? Because she did save him. I like that.
You would base like this decision on like what is like a famous line from
a movie, like maybe, yeah, you're standing there, you see this,
you know, terrorist of Genosha right there? Rogue drops some are you
let like okay, so my my whole homeland has destroyed. Madison has been
murdered. It would be so easy and unsatisfactory to kill this guy, especially
because I don't have the satisfaction of knowing he is directly responsible. I just
have the the assumption, based on years and years and years of this guy
being an absolute prick and hating me, keep saying that he's gonna murder Madis.
Definitely, Yeah, he's responsible in some way, even creating some tech.
You know, he's not. He's not an innocent man here. Just
letting him jump off on his own accord, that would have been. It
have been so much better than Yeah. The fact that she just grabs his
collar and then lets him go. I mean, that's just that's that's on
tear of just throwing Captain America's shield over three fucking mountains. And I don't
know, it doesn't rub me the right way because he's he's getting robbed of
true justice going through the very long, arduous legal system, well, the
true justice where he gets to like eat meals and watch TV and he can
still have sex. Yeah, he can still live a life and everything absolutely
read anything they're putting them in the isolation room. Okay, you can still
masturbate. He can still have an orgasm. Maybe they're gonna chassis belt,
they're gonna overhills balls are gonna have a full But you can empty deef penalty
all the way he should. This man needs a firing squad taken out,
get out of her dress. But I like the again, I like what
happened with Rogue. I think when Magneto is revealed to be alive, I
do think the team's gonna be Rogue, Magneto, Prior Cyclops and maybe one
other, maybe Frost, and then you're gonna have your other team over here
because they're they I don't think it's an accent that they're setting up multiple members
to be disagreeing with another. And I actually do it's all kidding aside,
I like the morphlying. I do think them saying it is a little off
kills because, like I said, I just think they should be if you're
looking at the past, they should be able to recognize they all make mistakes.
I think it should have came from someone like a Beast or Jubilee Soon.
That's always just like, look at beasts. He chose to sit in
jail. They could have busted him out right. He chose to sit in
jail. And I would have liked beasts because the only urgency they're getting was
going hard. You don't want to see what's in that corner, like and
I like because to me again like I think critical neuss and nonsports. Sure,
I'm not sure if you're alluding to beasts like getting more screen time,
But for me, I'm just his screen time is what he has. He
has the hots for this reporter. It's like, man, like, that's
where I think best saying that that would have Hell hit harder for me,
because that's like Beasts is the father figure. He says that about Rogue,
It's like, man, this is brutal. We're more like I said,
I just don't really buy them exactly. But I like the line overall because
I do think they are splintering the team and I think they are not going
to be together at the end of season. It's gonna be a civil I
don't think it's a civil Wars where they fight. I just think it's gonna
be that they especially when Charles comes back, They're gonna have very clear different
motivations because I said, Scott is like he's ready to fucking just kill the
president. He's not gonna say that. But and as we've talked about before
in the comics, Cyclops does end up becoming more like Magneto at times,
and they're pulling stuff from comics that I didn't think they would, So they're
they're putting They're putting in some spicy stuff, I think. So I like
that because I feel like I see him as the boy scout of the the
X Men, and I wouldn't pick him to be the one that kind of
goes the more extreme route. But uh no, Beasts wasn't really the one
I was alluding. It was mostly Rogue just because up until this point,
like she really hasn't done much other than just make Gambit really jealous and uh,
you know, I guess the Genosha episode. Yeah, we get some
dancing, a little bit more stuff like that. But I just loved seeing
her. You know, Pun intended go rogue in this in this in this
episode and just be angry and like really just just like the grief is fueling
this anger, and I just liked seeing the world tour that went on of
just sucking up other other other people, Like Wolverine is still kind of on
the back burner. He hasn't done much this entire show, but he got
what he needed two weeks ago. That kiss is all he needed. You
know, He's waiting a long time for that kiss. So yeah, but
no, like I do like that you brought up beasts because I feel like
I didn't really think about it till you're just talking about him. But he's
also like a lot less uh like Chill. I think maybe like like then
he normally is, like in this episode particularly like like like well he was
like frustrated, right and he was, Uh that's trick to the reporter of
like she what's the line of like it's it's not what you or it's not
what you're trying to say, it's like what you mean without even saying it,
and like, I don't know, it just seems like Beast is always
the one that just always has this like really articulate, like just professor like
way of talking, and this was the I don't know, just the grief
and everything that's been going on the fall of Genosha. It's just really wearing
on him. And I feel like that was felt at least for me in
this episode. And yeah, no, I liked all that stuff. But
yeah, that's six your second I break and then we're gonna pick back up
on that, so we'll be right back and we're back, So on your
point, Kirkle. And then also Sean the chat puts in here because I
feel like I remember him saying something about this, and Sean, you can
drop the exact line if we have it, but he said, but even
Beasts questioned Chuck's teachings. Obviously Charles in this episode, I remember him saying
something about that, but I can't remember the exact line. And I guess,
to Sean's point, that could be if I'm talking about a person that's
a fifth, wouldn't that be heartbreaking? If the team divides, Charles' is
back Wolverine and Jean and Jubilee on the side, and Beast chooses to go
with like the Cyclops Magneto team. Like man, that would be heartbreaking for
Charles to see Beasts like, no, Man, like whatever you were doing
was wrong and this is the right because you are right. He was being
a little stippy with the reporter, and I did like that. I just
was hoping, Oh, is this the only story we're getting with Beasts?
And I still think we're getting much. I hope next year we get more
because now we're in the final three, and I feel that I don't think
his story needs to take precedent right now, like we have bigger fish to
fry. Kirklan's fingers up says, perhaps the professor's vision for the future was
too near sighted and begging for your tolerance was our first mistake. Like that
sounds pretty extreme Magneto type of And that's in line with Scott too, when
he when he went off to the report a couple of weeks ago, right
when he just said, oh, we're always saving you, we always have
to do this. So again, that's a horror pitch that you're you're going
with here. I like this, that's and again I don't think they'll fight.
I just think they're gonna do what they did in the comics, where
you're gonna get X Men Blue and X Men Gold and they operate different ways,
and then they'll be like a cool episode two where there's like a problem
they both land and it's like, oh, who's going to take care of
it? It's really awkward, you know. So that's cool. Beast is
okay, I'm digging that. And you gave Madeline, Pryor and Emma Frost
a Scott's team, so man, that's yeah, he's got some powerful ladies
on his team. Yeah, but it works out to telpass right because you
got Madeline, Emma and then Charles and Jean. So if they have or
do it like took it out for some reason. You know, Wolverine's kind
of done because make Needles on the team, so it's over for him,
but you know they'll find a way. By the way, you guys covered
everything I wanted to say about the Beast stuff, so uh, well done.
Nice job. I want to jump back to the uh to the funeral
and shout at this line. So, I mean, one, I really
liked Nightcrawler's speech, and I don't. I just like Nightcrawler's role in this
new series somehow. It's kind of you wanted a couple of weeks ago,
because a couple of weeks ago he was too happy for you. Remember,
now he's back to like solemn Nightcrawler. You know. No, I like
that. I didn't. I didn't like Nightcrawler in the original run a whole
lot, but I liked the different vibe that we got here. I did
feel like, Okay, it's like, I guess it's because he's, you
know, a religious guy to some extent, like he's got the uh,
the whatever permits you need to be able to give this funeral speech, I
suppose, But it's like it's still just a speech, like anyone can do
it. So I found it weird that he was giving this speech considering he's
not really a member of the main team. But I felt like whatever speech
he prepared was really well written, and the one section I really liked was
just and we kind of got some of these thoughts even in the episode when
Gambit does die, just talking about Gambit and how he never really saw himself
as a hero, always like on this a bit of an outsider, or
maybe he wasn't helping as much as he could or as he wanted to or
and he didn't really like voice these emotions. It's more like other characters are
kind of perceiving this from him, which is an interesting angle, and it
makes sense for a character like Gambit who kind of puts up this different facade
than he. Everyone's got their different feelings and thoughts inside that they don't share
with the world, right, And the one line that really stuck out with
me from Nightcrawler speech was he says that every every Gambler has a tell and
modesty. It was gambits, So I just really beautiful line to release the
scinct way of putting kind of who he felt like Gambit was as a person.
And yeah, to see those thoughts kind of echoed from other characters at
different times too. Just some really cool stuff. Again, all this is
so well written around Gambit's death that like it would take away a bit from
the how much that line punches if if we undo it, So hopefully hopefully
that doesn't happen. No, Yeah, I'm glad you shout out that line.
That one that one like brought borderline tears to me. It was just
so well said and uh yeah, this is my favorite type of Nightcrawler when
he's just like the minister for the team. There was another lining of speech
there where it was something along lines like Gambit was so or something about like
having so much faith in potential and yet he was so blinded or so blind
to his own. That was minor paraphrase the I think I got the meat
and potatoes of what it was, but no, it was just a really
good like eulogy that he was giving there. And uh no, I liked
him in the robes and everything, and man, he's got like super glow
on his eyes in this show. It was wild. I don't know if
it was because just like it was a dark day. It was rained,
like dreary and whatnot, and they just but it was like, yeah,
glow in the dark. Power over there. Took a couple of bumps before
him tell me, yeah he was nervous. Yeah, they don't have this
stuff in my country. Yeah. No, I think he's just like he's
the man of the cloth. So they're just like, ah, Nightcrawler would
do the ulg and everyone's like yeah, yeah, Kurt has it, Yeah
for sure, you know, and maybe they thought would be better because I's
rogues brother and like help a bit, which I did like in this episode
he called her sister. I don't know if that's ever really happened, because
that reveal happened near the end of the show. And again it is like
a very loose brother's sister because they were only around each other like a little
bit. They're not like it's her adoptive mother. But still, I like
any can that the brother and sister. So just a great shot of he's
the first one that finds her and she just breaks down in his arm.
So if that's the only thing, though, I would wonder where if I
do my team splitting thing up. I really hope whichever direction they go,
whether they don't split up or they do split up, Rogan Night Crawl on
the same team, because I'd like that to grow. Especially again, another
thing, if they don't bring Gambit back, it'd be good. Okay,
she's not gonna have a relate like a romantic relationship with somebody, but that
sibling relationship. I hope they do that next year, next season. So
which is a great replacement for Yeah, Gambit's dead, we're sticking to that.
We're committing to that, and now you have another character that can be
the kind of dynamic that we're building with Rogue. You have this character that
can kind of pair off and have this deep bond together. And especially if
that if the case is where there is these team splits, and let's say,
because it feels like they kind of settled on Magneto and Rogue kind of
having their end point there, and then we haven't obviously had time to really
dip into that again because Magneto has been locked up in this chair. But
if they are on separate teams, I think that works even better too,
where Yeah, who are you gonna pair Rogue off? Not that everyone needs
to have a little pair but I think that would make sense as kind of
replacing that role. And yeah, once again, with Nightcrawler being in the
opening credits, I really feel like he's unofficially kind of get getting appointed to
the team. At this point, the world's kind of in shambles and they'll
kind of take anyone. The applection process is a lot easier to get through
to the join the X Men now than it ever has been. Mm hmmm.
And Plus it's like just not that I don't want gamb but I love
Gambit but night Crawl. I won't say it's like an underserved character, but
he was just in the show a few times, right, so when we
talk about, hey, if you want episodes four, like maybe a fourth
or fifth in the background of some fights. Yeah, it's like, to
me, even if we just got Nightcrawler, Emma Frost, maybe Kitty pri
I don't want to know where she's hanging out, but even just Emma Frost
and Nightcrawler, if they're proably the team next season and they get more flesh
up, perfect, Like, that's a great And we got sun our Fire
sun Spot, right, so he hopefully will get to We got a little
bit more with him this episode, seeing his mom and stuff, So that
was all right. I'm still like, as far as my interest goes,
I don't know why I still like I I put like the interest level of
that story to where like Beasts and Reporter is. I think that's where I
wish this season was longer. I need like another Beasts and Sun or Jubian
Sunspot episode to really get me with this character, because it feels like there's
so much going on that he's just so easily at the ball. It's like
I almost wish now look at the whole season, we'll see I don't know
if that character is even needed, you know, it just feels out out
of place a little bit right now, But maybe I'll wait for the finale
and yeah, I'm gonna I feel like i'd push back on there, just
for the fact that it's you know, I feel like they're setting up something
with the family and kill Yeah, then I'll give you all my chips at
that point, I'll check out. But I'm just kind of trusting that they're
they're introducing like the parents, like they took this long to kind of introduce
them, and they're obviously like very they're the political like they're giving political reasons
on why they're kind of anti mutant. But I don't know, I feel
like big powerful anti mutant politicians are going to be some sort of threat to
the to the X Men at some point, maybe next season, like maybe
it's a setup for for that sort of thing. But no, the whole
sun Spot I would agree with that, Like it's it's just completely overshadowed to
these other threats that we've been dealing with. And I'm not really one to
be like I need more sun Spot just because we're getting so much juicy,
juicy content elsewhere, but I I believe that we're gonna be setting up something
just because he's like a brand new I guess he's not a brand new character
to the show. He's a new character yeah this universe, right, Yeah,
so yeah, it's it's weird like the story that we got. I
mean this very much felt like a setup for something in a future episode,
which like, yeah, with this three parter, we still yeah, we
didn't get Storm or Xavier in this episode, so they're still working on getting
back teamed up here with the rest of the crew. Like there's so much
to do that I I don't know how much more Like clearly, if they're
setting up some storyline here and they haven't concluded it yet, they're gonna there's
gonna be more, but I just don't know how much it's gonna be highlighted
with the episodes we have, And yeah, then the storyline has been just
like Okay, Sunspot tells his mom that she's a mutant, that he's a
mutant. She already knows, uh, and but then she wants to hide
it because of this politic political thing or like the optics of it It's like,
Okay, we've seen that kind of thing before, so what's like the
nuance on it? And I'm curious to see what that is. But I
just don't know if it's going to be something that compelling, that feels like
something we haven't seen before. Also, his mom comments that four houses burned
down because of his powers. She was aware of his powers and he's responsible
for the houses burning down. I know they have a lot of money,
but like that seems a bit much to not, you know, come up
with some solution or like tell him powers, Dude, you're burning down our
houses constantly he's talking. He'll tell us when he's ready. You know,
you got more houses? That's all right. I guess they just have that
much money that they're like, you know what, this is good for the
lesson of it, Like who cares, We'll just keep buying houses. It's
like what Taylor pitch. They're just they're raking in that insurance money. I
mean, I don't know if I'm having with them, but that her house
or was that her office that they were at in this episode? It was
a house, right, I think it was their house. It's like that's
an apartment. So if that burns down. That's a lot of lives on
the line time. That feels like a lot riskier to even allow him in
the building, considering his past. Maybe she's just making a joke and maybe
that wasn't actually the case, or maybe they were just little fires that were
put out. But yeah, the dialogue is given, it sounded a lot
more savage than then you just some passing comment. I want to mention this
because I made my Mischique joke, but they did specifically mention that they've not
found that mayor since the attack. She's yeah, confirm, confirm. I'm
nine percent on that one at this point makes too much sense, just table
And if she's not Mistique, is there any other reason why? Like who
or why? Because why would she just be missing? Why wouldn't she just
be there? Right? So that's my thing of if it's not Mystique,
what else could it be? And he just in another room, shaving her
head, shaving her legs warm town. Uh Yeah, I just feel like
what's gonna happen is there's gonna be a dicey sit situation or heck, she
could be the one that gets Magneto out of that room. Actually thinking about
it. That would be a prime very like throwback to the X Men movies,
where you know, connection she sneaks there. Maybe she even takes the
form of bashing when she sees them, and you know that's how she sneaks
there. I just feel that before when it was back and forth, I
say, Okay, maybe it's not maybe because there's other storyline she could be,
but the fact that she's just missing, not dead missing, it's like,
Okay, I think she's Mistique. So I think it's gonna come to
part where either Magneto or Rogan Nightcrawler needs saving and she'll be there and for
some big what's the Senator doing here? And then I'm not the sinister or
I'm I'm not sinister. For sure, I'm not senator. She's saying,
I'm not the center and I'm not sinister. Just yeah, i'm your mother.
Yeah, so we'll see you know, and again maybe another person for
Team Gold. So it's tricky because it's hard to like form too many opinions
because right now we're still just basing it. This is just a theory that
that is mystique in it. It is then we truly have no idea what
her motivation has been this whole season really to this point. It could be
Sinister or it could be a more heroic thing, but like, yeah,
I don't know, we need to see more of that. Do you guys
think that's that's gotta be like revealed this season though? Right, Like anything
about her, yeah, it has to be unless it's like the Cliffing or
for the end of season. Like if it is, like if she's the
story a for season two, then I'd say, Okay, they'll be a
like kind of like what Sinister did to Trast a couple episodes ago. If
they do something like that, I'm fine with it. But I think you're
right. I think they'll even if in small form reveals something, whether she's
a mystique, Sinister related, a senator or whatever. Maybe agreed any I
was gonna just shout out some notes, let's go elsewhere, Let's go elsewhere.
Morph morphed into Quicksilver, which I like, it's funny. He's a
fast character. But it just happened so fast, and I'm like, way,
did Quicksilver just show up there? And then he just me too.
I was getting super hyped because I can't remember who drafted them, so sorry,
he didn't get the points because it was not the real It wasn't it
was just Morph. But I was I was right Headcam like, oh,
this makes complete sense because this is that's his dad, right, so he
just found his dad he got killed. Even though they didn't have the greatest
relationship. I thought like, oh, this makes perfect sense of how he's
gonna get into I thought's I had Quicksilver. Maybe it was, but Dealing
had Quicksilver. For a second, I thought you said Quicksilver was Morpheds dad.
I'm like, I missed that. Sorry, now I know. Yeah,
no, I think that that's why I thought. I'm like, oh,
this is how we get Quicksilver. Sculla, which on the team is
their dad got taken out here we go. I was so hyped and then
when it was Morph, I was like, oh, okay, that's fun.
But I was I was disappointed in that moment, but nothing against the
show. So I like seeing Morph pop off and like take other powers and
all that. But yeah, it just I don't know. I got bamboozled
and I wasn't paying attention close enough. Before we continue with your points,
I have to go back. Sean says, Bash was in the room with
Alan episode two. So if that is true, then I don't know if
that leads me more to she's a mystique or not mystique. That would actually
leave me more to she's not mistique. But you never know because mystique is
always up to something. But so I guess I didn't know. I never
heard of episode two. So because val was kind of like the one of
the main reasons why Magnetos goes to did you know she in the first place?
Right? Yeah, that correctly. Yeah, she could have been the
she could have been the cheese on the most trap there to bring him in.
I guess, yeah. And I think if that's a fact, then
she wouldn't be a mistique because I don't think Mystique would want Eric or magnet
to get killed, right, Like, I just don't. I just don't
find unless Yeah, I guess, we just don't. We just don't know
where she's Yeah, I guess if you wronged her, But I think that
she wouldn't want him to die. And like Bastian's so anti mutant though that
like why would he feel the need to pair up with someone like Mystique.
But as I don't know what like they if once again parrying this all together
with that sinister thing where sinister there's some green light around Magneto, Like maybe
they knew going in with his plan and maybe it wasn't gonna die, but
they needed to isolate him or get him here for some reason. I don't
know why I shave him. I had to go through all this, but
it seems like a very hair brained scheme. The more we're kind of piecing
together these theories, so I'll have to come back and you know, revisit
these things as they get confirmed or deconfirmed. The shaving sequence, just just
the lines that Bashian was was dropping to Magneto there, I'm like, man,
this is like straight up hunter vibes I'm getting right now from Like I
like those those lineses. What he says like opens the pores, makes the
flesh more pliable, like as he grabs the straight razor of like, man,
he's gonna chop his nose off or something. But no, just a
nice clean shave is gonna lift some of those lines for a drunk rome too.
It's inspiring. I like it. Yeah, we'll have you shave someone
in the sequel. Yeah, I as clean. Yeah, We've done that
a lot in twenty four hours stream. We're pretty uh, we're good at
shaving, that's true. Yeah no, I wouldn't trust and no cream just
a hot claw. Yeah no, I'll do the shaving, but won't they?
So so that's all. I have. Sure got some other show outs
here. Another line that I really enjoyed is when is when Rogue goes to
fuck up mister Ross, and Ross has the line I thought you were the
good guys, and she says, well, you killed them and now you
get me so badass. Let's go Rogue. So cool. The other one
is when Nightcrawler is talking to Rogue and he's trying to just trying to calm
her down, trying to you know, help her out and realize that it
like none of this is her fault. So he talks about how, like
Rogue, you didn't kill Gambit or Magneto, you helped them live, which
I thought was a really sweet line, really cute, nice brotherly line there.
What else are they gonna say this Cyclops and Gene stuff. I actually
really enjoyed this episode. I like this Cyclopes is all over the place,
like, yeah, feeling the highs and highs he's angry at different like so
angry that he's just blinded by everything, and then even yeah, getting some
tears at different points. But I just I really like the dialogue between Cyclopes
and Gene across this whole episode, whether it's kind of back at the X
Mansion or when they're going on their little rubble search party and just talking about
their different perspective on things and just thinking back on like the other times that
she's gone missing or gone away and how this is different from those times.
Yeah, I thought all that stuff was really really nice. So just some
great dynamics for those characters. And yeah, once again, just Cyclops is
such a highlight this season of really not just being a boring guy anymore,
experiencing some different emotions and just being totally stretched a million different directions. I'm
really enjoying that part of it. And then on top of that as well,
the Mad Report section when the buildings going down, I love their teamwork
there to help save some lives by preventing the building by him just like eviscerating
some of it or just just disintegrating some of it, and then her keeping
the rubble from smashing down in a big way. She just picks up a
building and just throws it, which I did not know she. I knew
she has like you know, yeah, at one point had the Dark Phoenix.
She did some powerful stuff, but I didn't know she had that level
of telekinesis in her. So I was very impressed by that as well.
Although I do feel like if you threw a huge building like that in the
water, that must make some huge waves that might knock some people out or
cause some damage of their own. But maybe she got it far enough out.
I don't know. Is the same building that people were like asleep in
the sleeping gas she just fucking tossed them in. I don't think. So
Okay, I don't think Marvel. I don't think miss miss Marvel or what
was what Marvel girl was killing just innocent people. So what was I gonna
say? Yeah, No, I think we didn't talk about it enough.
But I agree with everything you said about the conversation is really good. And
that's what I do like is I do think either way not gonna be together
at the end of season because it is I just like that point of Hey,
every time some bad's happen, we found a way to work it.
Out and it feels like they're both they they're trying because in the past they've
been able to work it out, but it almost feels like both their hearts
aren't really in it, you know, like they're just trying for the sake
of trying. It's almost like what Scott said a couple of weeks ago,
it's like, do you love me because you feel that way, or do
you remember that you loved me? And that's wy I feel like it's for
both of them, right, And he's still more broken up about Madeline.
She's trying to talk to him and she's consoling, but it doesn't feel like
it's a consoling like trying to smooch on them or like get that back.
Just it's a friend now. So and for appearancing, I did really like
when he's talking to the president, we got to see his visor around his
neck. Just they'll start that it's cool because we've never seen stuff like that
before. So it's just like he had the glasses and the vice. He's
like at first, what is I'm like, oh, that's cool, but
yeah, I agree. I'm I think after the dust is gonna settle in
the finale, they're going to just say, hey, let's go our own
ways and see what happens. I will be disappointed if they just kiss and
make up. I just feel right now that's the least interesting thing with Wolverine
there and Emma frosc I feel like get them back that like eventually. But
I feel like there's some fun routes we could go down now, like we
had five seasons of them together. We could take like a minor break for
a season. So but I'm liking all that stuff. So my notes are
depleted. My only two things just in case it comes up. B J.
Hortone, which I have seen since the theory is Bash is going to
make Onslaught, which he is another type of huge Onslaught is in Marvel Snaps.
There you go, Yeah, he's he was somebody in the when we
talked about death Bird last week when he was in the Book of Mutes.
I had when I saw onsloa mutant, It's just like, it's just a
crazy thing. But yeah, it chares the consciousness of Xavier and Magneto and
it that could be because they also showed not that they would take it from
the statues, but they showed Magneto or Magnus's statue and Eric's or Charles's statue
the head like side by side. So I don't know if that was foreshadowing,
but I've seen the Onslaught a lot and I can't say it's wrong because
I saw people throwing out bash in the past couple of weeks and I was
like, I don't know, but Onslaught could be good. I feel like
that they could maybe say for a season two if they wanted, because if
you just fight Bashing now and that might be you got sister and Bashian,
so it might be ye strange in like the second half of a season two.
Okay, Bashian's big, this big reveal, but then Bashian is just
there to create some other villain, and both of them not being villains from
the original run. I feel like for me that might not hit as hard
just because it's my first introduction of these characters and maybe you want to dole
them out a bit slower in a relative I mean, the original series was
thrown in a new villain every week kind of thing, so I don't know,
we'll see how I feel about that, But uh, I don't know.
I like that concept, but you know, i've seen him in Marvel
Snap for a while now, but I didn't really realize what who he actually
is or what is where the powers come from. So I like that idea
of the shared consciousness and maybe we get Winter Soldier because in the original who
defeated Onslaught Bucky Barnes, if you'd Onslaught using the Fantastic Car to send them
both to the negative zone, Fantastic card car, you know, the incredible
It's fantastic four car, Bucky Barnes. I don't think live actual ones,
but yeah, I don't think that's gonna happen. But yeah, Onslaught is
just like an O P, very big character, So yeah, I hope,
Oh my god. Yeah, especially he's just making he just looks the
reason you like him crikling, because he just looks like he's ripped out of
a fucking anime, Like that is an anime feeling right there. Yeah.
So my only note was weird When they were talking about Madeline, Jeane says
some line like yeah, I always wanted a sister, and I was like,
I don't think I got that vibe at all that you would have viewed
her as a sister, Like even that last when she came to her mind,
like what are you doing? Yeah, Like I get the the of
course bond you'd have because it's you know, similarness, But I didn't get
the vibe that they were ever going to become a sister type entity. So
I found that like a off weird line of her saying like, yeah,
viewing like his sisters, like took like the potential was there, yeah,
to have that bond. But yeah, you're right, it was maybe a
bit bit strue. Maybe she was just trying to connect with him, you
know, just saying something that she felt like would make him feel better.
What'd you smile about? Taylor? And he's thinking out twins? So yeah,
that's yeah, I'm sure that's what Scot's thinking about right now. Yeah,
he balling his eyes out. Yeah, he's standing in a graveyard of
dead mutants. I think you hard on is the last thing he has right
now. If he did, he definitely should not be the leader of the
Excellent, Like, Scott, ta, you go out any notes because I
got one question for the panel if you don't, but question us, when
do we think Storm? When do we think Storm comes back? It's gotta
be next week, right, I mean, I said I was certain that
she'd be in this one, but like I said, I didn't think we'd
spend so much time in this kind of early aftermath period. But based on
what was set up with that Forge episode and the way they pasted, I
had to assume that, Okay, she got the call on the TV and
she's heading out right away to go team up with them again. So I
have to imagine that this three parter is gonna start with Xavier and Storm reconnecting,
and then we get this huge three parter of them all working together to
try and take down these forces, and like largely mysterious forces because right now
the X Men don't know about Bastion, they don't know potentially about this Onslaught
stuff. If Mystique is is spun up in all this, they still don't.
I guess they'd know now that Sinister was involved in this plan, but
there's just so many unknown so I think them kind of piecing it all together
mixed with those characters being there. That's that makes sense to me. So
you think we'd get a full just Storm and Xavier episode and then to the
rest of the team. No, like they like they join up with the
team in episode what are we getting into seven seven or eight, eight,
nine, ten. Yeah, So I could see them, yeah, teaming
all up next week. I could also see it being like, okay,
storm next week in then episode nine Xavier, if they want to pace it
out a bit more. But yeah, I could see the next episode being
the big reunion, considering it's the start of the three parter. Mm hmmm.
I don't know if there, I can'mera. I think it's just something
sinister. The episode titles, I can't remember what they are, but I'm
gonna say that Storms the back half of the episode, and I'm just gonna
willis in existence that Charles is the last minuts of the finale, because I
don't want him to help the team right now. I still just prefer the
show without him. I really hope that tolerance is extinction Okay, and that
lines were dropped a couple times. Yeah, let's see Caple told them someone
worse than sinistors behind it all. Well, I just thought he meant bashed
it. Now. Once we got that reveal, I thought, Sean,
yeah, I think it's just bashed it. But that's my home is aware
of Yeah, of course, yeah, I guess. So my hope is
they're in trouble, Storm shows up. Yea gene to see finale. Even
if Xavier comes to help in the finale, that's fine. But I don't
really want Exavier much at all until season two. I really like the team
examer s less right now because there's just there's lots of people still in the
team, right so unless more people are gonna die, like we're already complaining
about certain characters, like, oh, we haven't got enough. So but
I think next week, maybe she pops off and saves them from something.
And I don't know Forge will be with her. That'll be another question,
I guess, but we gotta spend time on that. Kirk on Taylor Storm
status next episode, first half of the episode, pretty darn oh, that's
my prediction. Yeah, I think it'll be next episode for sure. She's
just on our honeymoon right now. She's taking the advantage of her time with
Forge a good time. So well. I think the news ruined that.
Oh yeah, you think she out turn of the team and then they just
banged it out. I don't think so. I think she was still think
I don't have my powers so far, let's just for a little bit.
Wow, what a coward and if that's the reason she's Xavier, she's such
a coarcter. I've read to mention too. Dylan. You mentioned like about
the aftermath. I did like that. They're like we got to officially see
Blob this time the real Blob. He was helping out moving things in the
destruction, so remind me a lot of First Have an X Men. But
they did this comic after nine to eleven where they had heroes and villains go
to New York like Pink Kingpin and Doctor Doom and they helped like fix the
destruction of New York, like they all band together. It was a little
oddome of the villain's helping because like, well, you've done worse than this,
but uh, that was it was a nine to eleven edition. That's
what gave me remembrance of of you had villains and hero munes that we've seen
in the past, and they were going around moving people to had no Colossus
because remember in his episode he had to do with a lot with like destruction
and he was helping, uh stuff, So I thought, maybe there's a
chance you're gonna like and he'd be in the background helping. But this is
the third time we've seen Blob right, because or as like more were transforming
into Blob in the Gambit sequence in the ye first episode and then what was
the second time? Again? Is he in the Dangerom or something? Does
he appear in there or something? I think I can't recall, but I
definitely remember seeing him another point, Yeah, yeah, we've talked about him.
So they love Blob, not enough to give him an episode, but
they love him to be around. So yeah, another do you guys think
we see Bishop again the season or what? Yes episode? Yeah? Last
episode? Yeah, I agree with that. Man, what a tease he
was, Hey, what a what a bait and switch of like him seeming
like one of the main members of the intro in the literally episode? Is
this guy? Yeah? Just the marketing like preseason and stuff. I wanted
to come back with the long hair and the harmonica. Just just classic Bishop.
Yeah, that old Western theme. He could have grown it while he
was gone, right, Like, we don't know how much time passes for
him. There's a lot of time, right for some reason, if Faith
was a baby, then he comes back, He's gonna see Nathan as a
man. Maybe Bishops died of old age at this point. Maybe he's just
thirty at fourged too. You know, he's to get out of here enough
your honeymoon, as Tare said, you know. But yeah, I think
we definitely see Bishop at least one more episode, maybe two, but I'm
gonna say at least a minimum one has to be so I hope so well.
We will be back next week. We're kicking off the big, the
three parter. We've got the old school X Men. You know you stand
on all these multi parts while we're back in the thicke of things. We
will be there big episode, so look out. I'm not for anyone that
watches live. It might be a bit later because I think we're doing a
double. I think we're recording fall Guy and X Men. Unless I'm convincing
any guys do Midnight, but I don't think that's gonna happen. So I
think we'll be doing the double and it will not be boring. Bye bye,
of course. By
