[@mydreaminorbit9297]

Another great episode, Magneto has been captivating. His speech in this episode was awesome. Also seeing Storm startled by the lightning after losing her abilities hit hard.

[@hamhockbeans]

I wonder will Juggernaut make a appearance later. We have to see his reaction to his half brother's death. How he is handling it.

[@IceMetalPunk]

We all know bigotry and idiocy walk hand in hand, but for added proof: Executioner going in specifically to shoot Magneto... wearing titanium body armor 😂

[@LegendsofPodcasting]

Yeah wasn’t a smart move by him.

[@Slayen]

To be fair, he was looking to take him by surprise with a single depowering sniper shot. If it had worked then Mag's powers wouldn't be an issue. And the armor worked great against the other X-Men he fought. Still, the fact that he didn't seem to have any sort of contingency for the event that the shot doesn't connect.... not the best look.

[@BaconNuke]

@@Slayen I mean.. sometimes you hyper focus on the single goal and path you are taking and don't expect it to have chance of failing... and.. who tf would anticipate any of the X-men taking a shot for Magneto

[@Slayen]

@@BaconNukeFair points. And that level of confidence to the point of arrogance would be par for course when it comes to the FoH.

[@Clarence_Oddbody]

THE ONE CHANNEL that left in “previously on xmen”!!! You get a sub

[@LegendsofPodcasting]

Haha. It was one of the things we were hoping to get. So happy how much they know the fans and know which bits to keep

[@solblackguy]

Anyone else get January 6th vibes? I didn't think they were going to go there with Magneto's past because of how mainstream fascism is, but they did goddamn January 6th! Wow

[@Saphthings]

They're already pissed online saying xmen isn't about civil rights and prejudice xD

[@traceyfromkc]

TOTALLY got January 6th vibes! Art imitating life, or life imitating art? (Six of one, half dozen of the other, really…)

[@HEAT16]

Absolutely. That and 'replacement theory' vibes from the FOH too. Writing on point.

[@briancureton9687]

@@Saphthings What

[@Maatjuhhh]

Magneto has no business being this sexy. I legit gulped when I saw him. I thought he was just some middle aged man back in the original show. But with this suit? Daamn, I like. And now I'm totally sold on him after his speech. Here is hoping that he doesn't revert so soon to his villain ways.

[@thearchivist250]

The British upper lip does not fall to anything, except the X-Men theme song

[@LegendsofPodcasting]

British upper lip falls for many things but 100% that beautiful theme tune

[@IRON5]

I really felt the emotion from Storm after losing her powers. Also the pain of Magneto for holding back his anger. I had no idea Magneto had telekinesis powers. 🤯 So did Cyclops get the clone Jean pregnant?

[@LegendsofPodcasting]

Yeah they have really dialled up the emotion and drama. Love it

[@jasonmarbach]

This is my favorite version of Magneto ever put onscreen, and THAT is saying something. And the story beats set up here for Inferno (iykyk) and Lifedeath are absolutely CHOICE. I can’t BELIEVE how faithful to the source material and beautifully written this is so far.

[@DefMM123]

This episode was so good, Magneto coming in like a boss

[@FastDist4nce]

This whole episode is how good writing is done

[@LegendsofPodcasting]

Really curious how the season is going to play out

[@solblackguy]

His speech at the end. Even though Charles is gone, you could feel he was there at the last second before Magneto did something he would regret. The UN council and Executioner weren't spared by Magneto, they were saved by Charles' love.

[@borjankosarac3645]

As a character in the comics, Magneto has been seriously hampered by the constraints of comics; his evolution into a true believer of Charles Xavier’s vision and joining the X-Men (albeit still himself) feels like the natural ending for him. Or letting him retire on Genosha, Krakoa, somewhere he can build a thriving society for mutantkind… But the constant shifting in allegiances between writers, the status quo of persecution, the use of increasingly dangerous newer or alternative villains, it tends to make him stagnant if not obsolete. So, it’s really nice to have a scenario where Charles is gone for good (officially dead but technically he went with Lilandra to live out what he can…) and Magneto decides to honour him by trying to be better… When d’you guys think Jean was (presumably) replaced by Madelyn Pryor? My assumption is that rather than being resurrected after her Dark Phoenix Saga sacrifice, it was then that Sinister put her clone in her place… Only now, the real Jean is back. And her clone may not have known she was a clone, but could have an existential crisis upon learning it. Which would make more sense than the comics where Madelyn was an inexplicable doppelgänger who was later revealed to be a clone, went crazy that her life was a fabrication and turned evil; this has potential here. And it lets them keep Nathan Summers/Cable as their kid; I wouldn’t mind Rachel being conceived later if this show goes long enough. The one character I really hope gets to be a bigger part, if not a regular, would be Nightcrawler; they have a lot of mileage in his relationship with Mystique and Rogue, and he’s always been beloved by fans. Wouldn’t mind some like Colossus, Psylocke, and others get to appear for real in some capacity. Oh, and Kitty Pryde; always loved her, and her absence in this show always hurts.

[@LegendsofPodcasting]

That scene with magneto when he was up in the sky and saying he’s trying to be better was soooo amazing. Hope he sticks with it and honours Charles I am hoping Jean doesn’t know she’s a clone and it’s not that she is a mole. Heard sinister is the main villain so would guess he’s created her.

[@atari303]

The best thing about the clone storyline is we got a hint of Jean when Gyrich's mind was being read and we saw those pair of eyes.

[@endryudzhenn4398]

The one that faint is the original Jean. 😅

[@LegendsofPodcasting]

Right. She fainted so much in the old show.

[@dramonmaster222]

This feels like watching Saturday 🌄 cartoons again. Magneto was such a BAMF. As for Storm.... I'm looking forward to see where this is going.

[@LegendsofPodcasting]

Set up a lot on 2 episodes and can’t wait to see how it unfolds. Wish it had all come out so we could of binged watched it though

[@thorneyquins8780]

Madelyne pryor storyline incoming!! Mr sinister as the main villain this season...

[@PeterSaenz-hz9df]

I was waiting for your reaction to the new Jean Gray scene at the end, and you did not disappoint. My mind was blown as well. Disney is coming out with a Madelyn Pryor action figure, so this makes sense. Can't wait to see how this plays out in future episodes. P.S. Rob rocks.

[@LegendsofPodcasting]

Going to be so interesting to see how it plays out

[@jasonmarbach]

Mr. Sinister is Mr. Sinistering 👀

[@VunderGuy]

Him and his Nasty Boys. XD

[@collecter343]

I fully believe Wolverine would have just gone down the list of villains if Jean didn’t elaborate haha.

[@Bensbarking]

Storm got blasted in the comics and lost her powers and even beat cyclops for leadership while powerless, i think they are taking inspiration from when she was accidently blasted with the neutrilizer

[@LegendsofPodcasting]

You no which story arc that happened to storm?

[@Bensbarking]

@@LegendsofPodcasting Lifedeath!

[@Bensbarking]

@@LegendsofPodcasting uncanny xmen 185 is when it happened to her in the comics

[@maan1450]

Great reaction guys and smart discussions as well!

[@LegendsofPodcasting]

Thanks so much. Discussion is so hard with this show because our minds are just blown trying to take it all in

[@Claudia-tb3dy]

Love of all the comic talk!!

[@VunderGuy]

Mr. Sinister and his Nasty Boys.

[@martinrivas3520]

Super cool dudes!

[@Thecharliesruiz]

Psylocke is mine favorite marvel superheroes character ever in my heart!

[@ErrolJ]

I think that reference to the battle on the moon might be where the second Jean came from. Jean's life was restored by the Phoenix Force taking a portion of everyone else's, maybe Sinister had created a clone but couldn't wake it up? Then the phoenix split the donations between the two and Sinister has been experimenting with the second one ever since. Can't wait until the next episode to find I'm absolutely wrong on everything I've just said :)

[@Artisan1979]

23:40 yes, I'm going to bet that he did get genes DNA but didn't get any from Scott. So it would make sense for him to clone Jean Grey from the DNA that he had acquired and use her as a template for his dream of a new species by abducting the real Jean and supplanting the clone in her place.

[@LegendsofPodcasting]

Question is if it is a clone what do they want or do they even realise they are one

[@Artisan1979]

@@LegendsofPodcasting I think that sinister is cruel enough to send the clone out into the world, without even knowing that she is a copy of the real Jean gray. He wanted an exact duplicate and, like any scientist, ensure that the parameters and circumstances would proceed as if he had done nothing in order to ensure Scott and Jean would procreate on their own. The man is obsessed and he cares little about humanity in terms of decency and morality. People are puppets or guinea pigs for him to play with for what he sees as "the greater good."

[@LPMOVIESTVSofficial]

if anyone read life after death with Strom you know what going to happen next with her so many different story in one episode

[@danny5551000]

I NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT BEFORE!!!!! the season finally COULD be E is for extinction!!!!! 👀👀

[@reddeffenderx5994]

I have a thery that storm got her fear of the weather like how professor x got his legs back when he lost his power

[@JayLaliberte-xs3ky]

Is it Jean Grey from a different timeline? or is it Mr. Sinister's Clone of Jean Grey Madelyne Pryor?

[@LegendsofPodcasting]

That is what we are asking as well. With the baby being cable comic books would hint to clone. But they did purposely bring up bishops time travel device in episode 1. In 1 day we will find out

[@JayLaliberte-xs3ky]

@@LegendsofPodcasting Right! lol

[@LPMOVIESTVSofficial]

i see blue and gold coming

Isn’t storm the leader of gold though? Hope she can get her powers back

I Didn't Bother Watching X-Men 97' 2020's ERA Content Sucks... It's Hateful & Discriminating To Wokism, & It Hates Us The Fans... Soooo? Let's Just Make Fun Of It, Laugh At It, & Watch Something Else... I'm Supposed To Learn Some Message? What Message, My Middle Finger Up Disney? That Message? Ya, Stan Lee ERA Much Better, -_- Don't Care To Watch... Goodbye...

See ya 👋🏻

[@jovanleonardi1574]

funniest thing is youtube views thumbs up and down as the same thing, engagement. they view comments in the comment section as engagement too, positive or negative it all just helps a video. soooo, thanks for the bump? your need to cry about something you yourself said you "didn't watch, don't care" only helps to drive youtube's metric to push more x-men 97 content.
