Ok..just our opinion how many seasons should get of this series. Also should we get spinoff series like New Mutants, X-Factor ( Forge lead team) , and X-Force.

[@Marvelousgamer7697]

Seeing Storm get her powers back was a top 10 Marvel moments of all time for me! She's honestly the coolest X-Men!

[@Fedpool]

this right here. season 1 is the season of Storm!

[@LucLightWolf121]

Storm

[@solblackguy]

They're apologizing for Halle Berry.

[@Pinkielover]

you must be easily pleased 😂

[@justthevoicebackup280]

​@@Pinkielover If I was a Psylocke fan I'd be mad too 😂 stop hating.

[@pwalmsley9]

Storm's VO totally destroyed it in this episode. What an absolute queen.

[@ErwinRafael-d8e]

And she is also the Adversary. :D

[@MathewWoodard]

I don't think the character would have hit as hard with any other actress playing Storm. Alison Sealy-Smith is who I hear when I read the comics.

[@DarKiRage.13]

@@ErwinRafael-d8eno way!!

[@SorenAlba54]

Indeed she is. Magneto is also right about her. She is the closest thing we will have for a goddess, given how her power increased tenfold when she even popped out of space and customized her own uniform.

[@DmonHiro]

I don't know why, but that punch Gladiator gave Deathbird seemed personal. Like "I've been waiting for this for so long...."

[@ShadowyFox_86]

He had to have been saving that.

[@Lardnuts]

Gladiator is a monster, basically can keep up or beat the likes of Sentry and super strong beings like that. So every punch might look personal cuz of how strong he is

[@mcfearsun]

I got major Omni Man vibes from him

[@MegaMaster1021]

Despite always having to follow whoever is on the throne, it's safe to say that he knows death bird is not qualified to be on the throne

[@DiamondDray]

Milky Way Ghetto is crazy work 😭🤣

[@juniorgunter7123]

I mean, did she lie 😂?

[@LeVidocq]

​@@juniorgunter7123it hurt because it's true

[@hiphopson]

Forge comes from a line of shaman, his people train to defeat the adversary. Also for those that didn’t know Storm comes from a line of magic priestesses that’s where her white hair and blue eyes come from, not her mutation.

[@ascottpgh00]

The vision that Professor X saw was Gambit turning into Death himself. Which in the comic Gambit becomes Apocalypse Horsemen

[@jp3813]

They say that in the video.

[@estanmagallon8574]

Being a huge Gambit fan as well, that last episode hit me like a ton of bricks. It ended at 12:30AM and I fell asleep at like 3AM from trying to process everything myself. It personally hit me hard due to Gambit being my favorite X-Man since 92 when I was 8. I also related with the drama of past relationships to a near tragic car accident I was in where my mom almost burned alive but was saved through a literal miracle. Episode 5 took me back to all that. I am glad they did Gambit justice.

[@leeharrison8222]

You and your mama truly blessed I am living proof of miracles ✨🙏🏽✨

[@estanmagallon8574]

⁠@@leeharrison8222thank you for the kind words and blessings to you 🙏🏽

"Milky Way Ghetto" Me and People from the projects, "I took that personally!"

[@PhoenixMF1986]

I was thinking damn she insulted us all projects to high rises and even all the other planets and stars too. F you too lady

[@fangsabre]

Xavier's reaction to the vision is chilling. I was so happy to see him being PROFESSOR Xavier, it hurt even more to see him hurt like that

[@BlackOmEga_2099]

The fact everyone was emotionally impacted by what happened in Genosha shows how good this show is and keeps getting… I’m still here wondering if magneto and leech are alright

[@moderndancingfool]

I still can't get over how everyone working on the show says we haven't seen anything yet. This reminds me of Andor, where we get The Eye in episode 6 and then they just escalated to infinity. And Sinister? You know he's working with Nimrod and Bastion and Apocalypse, and we're getting Gambit as a Horseman? Milky Way Ghetto? Freak Fluids? This show is just wild. 11/10 (an extra 1 for the classic Storm fit)

[@hermzgacho8548]

They have the best lines: Last week was with Gambit : The name is Gambit, mon ami. Remember it! This episode was with Storm and Prof. X. Prof X: Class is now in session! Storm: Let them thunder for I AM LIGHTNING! Superb writing!

[@_CPerk]

Facts

[@wanderingseth]

​@@_CPerk Last week I thought Magneto's line was more brutal though. "Not many countries would allow terrorists to become leaders." "Yet so many nations allow their leaders to become terrorists." That was a mike drop moment

[@ericholweck3041]

@@wanderingseth Agree, Magneto had the best lines by far last week. "A promise was made." "We shall not live our days wondering if we could have saved more," in full Oskar Schindler's mode. Powerful stuff.

[@FootballSlips]

Not matter what line you choose both was 🔥

[@TiaMarie777]

Milky Way Ghetto sound like an album from Parliament-Funkadelic. 😂

[@ebubejamesoriehi2921]

Really loved the Prof taking them all to class and Storm's re-emergence!!!

[@EdwardSanchezProductions]

I am so happy that storm and Professor X are back

[@ticozayas6430]

Not everyone remembers but Forge has both magic and his mutant abilities, he is a Cheyenne Shaman so magic and dealing with evil spirits is well within his wheelhouse.

[@tiddymobgoon]

wasn’t one of his ancestors a female GhostRider or am I thinking of someone else?

[@tonywhite2647]

No one realizes Storm was flying in vacuum of space and that’s Omega Level 😮

[@UltraKingK]

“U stop cooking 😢” 😂Haha 😂

[@PhoenixMF1986]

It’s real. When I get depressed the first thing to go is food. Microwaved quesadillas become a staple I hate it

[@MarioBario]

Forge: I'm dying Storm: flying around and scaring some random horses

[@Buttkosis]

Much love StruggleNation dudes! Appreciate the "unite the nerds call!"

[@LucLightWolf121]

Next week's episode will be the calm before the storm, homies. Episodes 8, 9, and 10 are going to be a roller-coaster ride. Buckle up!

[@ES-gg8pd]

Somebody said Leech used his power to tamp down Magneto's power so the Godzilla-Sentinel couldn't detect his Omega-Mutant-Level.

[@DmonHiro]

It was me. I said that. Me... and a few hundred others. But mostly me.

[@SorenAlba54]

You better be right about this because although that does sound like something he could’ve done in a split second, that blast from that Sentinel overwhelmed even Erik himself when he was barely holding on.

[@shurenraorao4850]

Nah I think they teleported out of that way. Magneto can teleport. A lot of people don't know this

[@Jumpoable]

[@christopherdavis5214]

Aye it's Vulcan!

[@michaelcoffey1991]

@Struggle, That was a dang good show :). An that was always my favorite outfit Storm ever had so to see it now was a treat. I still think Cable's role will be to go back in time to save everyone. Always even more fun then to see you and Joe discuss the show before and after. Loving the Xmen show more then I ever thought

[@_CPerk]

Shout out to the voice actor for Deathbird, she killed that ish

[@zthegreat4538]

This episode was a masterpiece, the whole season has been deep and full of esoteric knowledge, but this episode here super deep messages all through it !I watched it off of shrooms, and that bird scared the hell out of me😂😂😂

[@Lucas_Carvalho616]

If Charles only felt Gambit's death and not Magneto's, with whom he have a deeper conection, it could mean he's alive. If Magneto comes back i think he will go back to his old ways, even worse. He will be MAD because they basically made him revive the Holocaust again.

[@LucLightWolf121]

Agreed. He will be out for blood. Sinister, Bolivar Trask, and Apocalypse are screwed. Magneto is about to have his revenge arc. And he's bringing Hell with him.

[@mrcleane6559]

I believe the spinning globe on Xavier's desk symbolizes earth's magnetic field and Magneto spinning out of control in rage

[@jlo1195]

With every new episode we been getting...it's like they're listening to the fans and in real time and bringing them what they really really wanted! Another EXCITING episode! a lot of throwbacks and easter eggs! Having Forge performing MCU "Kamar-Taj"magic....we're Officially all in the same universe....OG STORM N PROFESSOR X is back baby!

[@shreknet]

100% best return of an animated quality series. The season will be remembered. I agree brother, this is the return of the joy that we read in the comics when we were kids.

[@ballroomdru]

Everyone on the creative team for this show MUST have been one of us when they were kids who loved the show and the comics. It is evident now.

[@KGBookkeeping]

Sad to see that Gambit wasn’t in the roll call for the intro… neither was Magneto!

[@lorddrakkon7390]

He was look again towards the end of the intro

[@SupportGaming2024]

Even though I'm happy Xavier is back,I kinda feel like Magneto is gonna go back to being his old self

[@LokiturnedmeintoaFrog]

Kind of feel like That Charles coming back to lead the X-Men means that Magneto will not return and his purpose is done.

[@LucLightWolf121]

He's about to become the Magneto from Chris Claremont's and Jim Lee's Mutant Genesis run. An angry and vengeful recluse who tried Xavier's way of living and regrets it. And he's still alive. Thanks to Leech.

[@Simplyartistic19]

Magneto os def going to come back to start the war on the humans

[@yamomspotatosalad818]

Wish he would stay good

[@nightfrost1891]

eh, magento has been good in the comics he has slip ups but i think they'll keep him more of a neutral character

[@Corey313]

I loved the fact that Storm literally had to reboot herself to reactivate her powers and the fact that Xavier felt what happened galaxies away was crazy. And Gladiator is basically marvel's version of Superman either way this was an awesome episode

[@transformersprime505]

Here with the QUICKNESS!!

[@dannystabb16thAve]

Class is in session. 👀

[@Voodooray007]

If Mister Sinister is getting more involved, you bet your dollar that Apocalypse will try to get his foot at the door.

[@nicholasmangialardi1618]

They gave Forge a Rez accent in this episode lol. He didn't sound like that before. And Deathbird had me rolling with "Have our blood mixed with his inferior freak fluids" LMAO

[@kennethlewis3073]

Don't forget about CABLE , he's the key . . . .

[@_CPerk]

Another great episode…props to all those involved with this show. 10/10 so far and only getting better! 🔥🔥

Xavier was too busy playing chess when he should have been playing dominoes.

[@onyxdb]

Don't know if anyone noticed the damn Watcher again behind Charles on the chalkboard....!!!!!! EVERYTIME that dude shows up, sh*t goes DOWN.

[@CoolGent87]

My guy "GLADIATOR" showed up 🔥.I'm glad Storm 🌪 got her powers back

[@jasonshorn4386]

Yes you are on the right path concerning Gambit becoming Apocalypse's horseman Death. It was in the "Blood of Apocalypse" storyline from issues 182-187 of the X-Men comics. It was a pretty good story which also had 2 other former X-Men becoming horsemen but I won't spoil who they were for anyone who hasn't read those issues and I highly recommend them.

[@MeleeHellBot]

It's been confirmed that Storm's scene regaining her power was inspired by the first flight in Man of Steel

[@DARKDURELL2]

Man that hurts me the hardest because I live in New Orleans

[@oozarusama]

It was understandable that he called the Milky Way a ghetto since they always consider us to be the worst. It reminded me of the phrase from the movie Men in Black where K tells J that the human race is considered an infectious disease among the best races. of the universe

[@trealsteve]

My man was going thru talking about Gambit. I was like “It’s gonna be alright, bro!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@stealahb]

Freak Fluids. Milky Way Ghetto. i need these on a t-shirt. also, MOTHER STORM! i am loving Alison Sealy-Smith and Lenore Zann's [Rogue] voice-work so much

[@MR.NDCOMICS]

Is it weird I want this whole season on Blue Ray And DVD

[@HelloThere_42]

Storm’s theme in this show is perfect

[@MgALordX]

My opinion on Magneto is at the very end he looks at leech while the "Master Mold" was getting ready to fire its shot. What would stop the attack, the visual of death or not being able to detect an Omega level mutant.. what would have happened if leech would have absorbed Magneto's powers ??

[@kgthegreatone943]

This episode was really good

[@JayLaliberte-xs3ky]

The Next Episode, Bright Eyes, usually a reference to CABLE!

[@Bulletno]

so many moving pieces. what a show!

[@ErwinRafael-d8e]

Hope you get back to cooking! Man needs to eat good food. As a citizen of a country who underwent more than 300 years of colonization, Xavier's speech hits hard. Highlight of the episode for me. As for why Xavier is alive, here is the dialogue in Xavier's death bed: Beast: You are too late, Lilandra. Lilandra: For human science, yes. You were correct however, for assuming that we Shi'ar have techniques beyond your comprehension which will be of use. Beast: Then he will survive? Lilandra: Yes, but only under Shi'ar care.

[@claude-marcjoseph8661]

You are 100% right about getting this production team for the live action version of X-Men. They are fools if they don't.

"......You Stopped Cookin.... and, if i'm eatin buttered noodles, one mo night...!!!!!" 😲😵‍💫🤯🤭🤣🙏😂 Great Reaction fellas!! 😉

[@squarebiz90]

I can’t wait for the whole team to finally get together & have an epic fight scene. So far we still haven’t seen Jean & Wolverine let loose. I feel like they’re saving that for the finale.

[@TheSimOne360]

Gladiator is one of my favorite marvel characters. Basically Superman, but powered by self confidence. As long as he has confidence in himself and his powers, he is basically unstoppable. Should that confidence by shaken though, he loses those powers till he regains his confidence again. Such a fascinating weakness

Been waiting for y'all to upload, Thanks for making a stressful afternoon Much Better❤❤❤

[@shiningnight12]

So there's a story called LifeDeath in Claremonts og run that's going over this but in more detail. Forge is a mutant with a unparalleled genius equalb to Tony stark but he also comes from a family of mystics but forge didn't vibes with magic. That's until "the war" he and his crew hit trapped and went fubur so forge used his inherent magic knowledge to use the life force of his fellow soilders to summon the adversary to kill the enemy but that's lead to Storm,forge and the xmen to fight the adversary, gain storms powers back, and save the world but that also lead to their "death".

Also☝🏾. Go grab Gabriel Summers aka Vulcan before they start taxing for him. He was the regular looking human in the navy and mostly red suit with the gold boots. He was about to blast ronin’s people.

Gladiator is almost prime Superman strong fyi. In the comics he goes toe to toe with Colosus in a punching battle and knocks him back into human form.

[@MotownCountry]

yeah, after episode 5, i was no longer mad that they did weekly. and imagine if the episode 5 level was given to the Phoenix/Dark Phoenix arc. i was a little alarmed at the heartbeat/bass drum kick before the theme song. Wednesday is officially X-Men Day. Nuff said.
