Too fast-paced for me to make a judgement. Understandable, though, if they're only given 10 episodes per season.
Shame there was no Mother Askani.
There are so many blue eyed characters on this show, maybe it would have been a good idea to change Jean back to her actual green eyes, but I won't get too mad about it.
As for the hair, yeah, I would LOVE an adaptation of the BROOD SAGA, where we see Storm summon the power of the GALACTIC CORE'S MILLIONS OF SUNS AND PLANETS to cleanse herself of the Broodling, but at the cost of her breaking her vow to the Bright Lady to never kill again, and thus, she commits suicide, letting herself go, naked, drifting in space, only to be saved by the baby Acanti, and then return to Earth shaken to her core, unsure of her powers or true self anymore, until Yukio takes her for a wild ride in Tokyo!! Only then may she have a mohawk! And that's totally the same runtime as a panel of Morph creeping on Logan in the showers!

Let the flames destroy all but that which is pure and true!
Maddie queened out in this episode, kinda wished she stuck around.

Sounds like a pretty good, albeit super condensed, adaptation of Inferno. The only thing that bothers me is that Sinister being the one to infect baby Nathan makes no sense at all. Apocalypse at least had his “survival of the fittest” motivation. But what reason would Sinister have for wanting to kill, or even test, this powerful mutant child? Wouldn’t he rather exploit him, which is more his M.O., right? Is this explained at all in the episode? I probably won’t get to watch until tomorrow sadly as I’m currently traveling overseas for work.

After the highs of episode 1 and 2, I have to admit this episode was a bit of a let down, but that doesn't mean it wasn't good. Just not to the degree of the first two episodes. I really thought they were gonna set this up as the intro to Maddie and the Goblin Queen but was greatly surprised at how fast they rushed through it all. I did find it interesting how they set up Nathan's future by literally sending him to the future with Bishop. I did find it interesting that Bishop too had a power display before being sent of, very similar to Storm. I was also a little surprised at the horror slant. I was confused at first too like how is Sinister doing all of this lol. Overall not bad but again not as good as the first two. That being said, I am glad the X Men are back.
Looks like they have the ok to use all the canon shows in x-mens tas canon. So, shows like 90s hulk and iron man can be used or just be fun easter eggs on tv or a newspaper.

Due to a change of animation studio, yeah - she started wearing her hair down (which is comic accurate, the ponytail isn't), in the same episode Jubilee's hair was changed to a bob (which was both easier for the animators and matched the Generation X comics, as she'd been redesigned after the show started).

Ugh can we bin Jean get Emma in please. And get rid of Logan if all he’s going to do is simp for Jean.
There was already a lot of anime influence in the first two eps, but this ep totally took it to new heights and I'm not mad AT ALL!
Maddie's transformation... I almost expected the Sailor Moon score to start up! This tweet really sums it up lmao https://twitter.com/poppa_pud/status...38861875769650
But Maddie was just full camp but in the best way. She had the hair, the fit, and she even had a little Sharon Stone/Basic Instinct moment if ya'll caught that. Great job to Hale for all that dimension in the voice acting. The origin/memories sequence was so well done and they had such good balance with humanizing Maddie while still letting her be kind of ridiculous lol.
A few things: I hope Bishop gets a future ep devoted to him. I think Forge coming to find Storm like that was a little forced. I would have rather had him run into her on purpose and flirt his way into her life rather than just announcing his intentions. But really really looking forward to LifeDeath!
