I find the January 6 analogy with the Friends of Humanity assault on the UN interesting. X-Cutioner seems like the Qanon Shaman.
To the people not understanding Morph's powers, just read through Exiles. Exiles Morph (the show is clearly taking more inspiration from that iteration of the character, who didn't exist in X-Men TAS / 92) is not just a skin shifter. He's made of unstable molecules, and can shift those molecules into anything he dreams up. He can detach and reattach parts of himself. He's been shown to lose limbs and just put them back on. The show is actually REALLY downplaying how wacky his molecular shifting can get, so far.
Queen of Mutants, Mistress of Magnetism, Magnetrix and the MII, Pestilence of the Horsemen of Apocalypse, the Krakoan Oracle and creator of the Sanctus Sacrum Tournament Key, the Threshold Seed Shaper, Brood Queen of the Fall of the House of X, Lorna Sally Dane, Ph.D., of the House of M, Polaris of the X-Men
thats cool and all but thats not how Morph was portrayed in the original series as we last left him. I kinda hope he gets a spotlight episode that kinda explains the changes bc he is the most jarring character here. Everyone else for the most part feels like a faithful progression from TAS except him
I liked the original series and this one is very much in the vein of the original series.
My challenge with it is probably my own age. After 30 years, it's a bit hard for me to get back into this stuff like I did when I was a kid.
Not an indictment on the series at all, just that...I'm old..LOL.
I'm just trying to think of when this Rogue/Magneto affair happened.
Maybe around the time she absorbed Carol's powers, she leaves Mystique and she and Erik hooked up?
Saying Scott is being downplayed is crazy. He was great in both episodes from his action scenes(loved the mega optic blast landing) to his personality.
Some individuals got to see part three ahead of us. Lucky ducks. You might be right about the Jean clone bit. The second Jean might. . . . might be a clone set to kidnap Nathan and deliver the baby to Sinister, and then become the Goblin Queen. Don't forget the action figure for her came out. And I'm guessing the wasn't an accident.

I know this is technically a sequel series, but I think of it more like the second Ducktales series. It's the same characters in the same environment on new adventures. Everything that came before is there, but who cares?
