Every time a clip or episode releases, I hold my friends hostage and force them to learn X-Men lore against their will

Hotmail, Grandma?

So this week's episode wasn't written by Beau DeMayo... and it kind of showed. I'm a little annoyed that so much of Lifedeath Part II was not even about Storm and Forge. But at least there was THAT moment!!!

[NK1988]

Whole lot of Big Stuff happening in Episode 6.

spoilers:

Xavier is returning, Sinister was behind Genosha, Storm repowered. Not in this actual episode at all but the ever-changing credits reveals a new X-Men: Kurt. Excited for that, too. Interesting note: Xavier only senses Gambit's death, not the death of his lifelong dearest friend. I wanna go out on a limb and say this hints at Magneto being alive.

This was spoilers:

one of the weaker episodes I thought. Not sure why we got this after Episode 5, but I guess it gave us a bit of a breather? Positives - Storm gets a new costume and hairstyle. - I do kinda like the idea that Forge's machine worked, but it was Storm herself blocking her own powers. - Vulcan! We don't really see much of him outside of what the preview showed, but the implications are interesting. I don't think they'll go into Deadly Genesis this season though. - Xavier being an educator is neat, I do like that little call-back. - What little we saw of the Imperial Guard was amazing. - Sinister's appearance at the end was nice. So he definitely was involved with the Genoshan Massacre. The writers really are mixing in the Mutant Massacre and E for Extinction, which is fine. Negatives - The shifts between the Shi'ar and LifeDeath II felt awkward, I don't think they compliment each other as stories. Really think LifeDeath should have been it's own episode, while the Shi'ar stuff was paired with Mojo's episode (without the spoilers to episode 5). Or just shorten the Shi'ar stuff, since that was less important. - I really dislike Charles new VA, he feels the weakest out of the cast. I don't know, something about it seems off... - LifeDeath wrapped up a bit too fast, Adversey is supposed to be a powerful foe that required a lot of sacrifice to defeat and here Storm defeats it with just... will-power? Ok lol. Bit of a waste of a villain tbh. - Storm's transformation sequence felt a bit too anime, like Madelyne's in ep 3. It's more a mixed criticism than totally negative, just felt like the scene where she cut loose could have been better used to set up the tone instead. But yeah, it was an alright episode. Maybe the weakest so far, but not bad. Just really looking forward to seeing Episode 7 now.

I agree. This or episode 4 have been my least favorites so far.

How did Storm magically grow her hair out?

This was the first episode not written by Beau right m? Is that why it felt a little off?

Correct, I noted the same thing. Even the smaller Lifedeath Part I after Motendo resonated more. I don't love that Part II still didn't get more than half an episode.

DeMayo actually started the thread, but I don't love them implying that Storm would ever entertain wanting to be a regular human. It's just not the character to use for that kind of story. Storm has always cherished her gifts.

In the comics, her powers not coming back were connected to fear and insecurity but not denial.

Yea, it was written by Charley Feldmen.

I agree. This or episode 4 have been my least favorites so far.

I have no idea tbh, Storm's latent magic would be my best guess.

Wouldn't it have been a gag if she emerged like this...

[shadowbox]

Got what I wanted but in a very silly way. A necessary episode but also felt somewhat like filler so itÂ’s gonna be my lowest ranked one so far. IÂ’d tolerate it if we had 18 episodes instead of 10.

[Sammael]

I know a lot of people are going to be down on this episode since it shifted away from the direct aftermath of episode 5 but... spoilers:

I absolutely loved the sequence where storm got her powers back, the music soared and so did she. That entire sequence was absolutely thrilling.

Funny the LifeDeath story happened when she just lost her powers. She could barely get out of bed.
