I love how Cyclops and Wolverine are sent towards Magneto - One who is weak to Magneto's power and the other is the only one capable of actually hurting Mr. Sinister. And on the other team is Morph and Cable. Morph being the one who still suffers from Sinister-PTSD, and Cable being the weak to Sinister's powers. Like these matchups are probably the worst possible.

You guys, he didn’t put his greatest enemy in charge. He put his greatest friend; whom he knew would protect mutant kind in his absence. And that where would there be conflict amongst mutants if they were all together? Magneto created genosha and that was Charles dream. Y’all gotta stop looking at it as villian and hero. These are humans with mutant abilities

[@SGALAXIA]

Not in the eyes ofMagnus, they are gods.

[@ViktorEBoss]

Bingo 💯

[@aquelegabriel]

​@@SGALAXIA try to walk in Magneto's shoes for a second. He wasn't betrayed just by Bastion. The UN lady was ACTIVELY working with him. He went willingly to the UN and was spared only because people tried to kill him there, and almost removed storm's powers forever. The amount of times human leaders attacked mutants AFTER they lay down their arms is numberless. Can you blame him for not believing in living together, after being backstabbed that many times? After going out of his way to live his life without threatening humans AT ALL. Also, his attack on the magnetosphere wasn't just an attack on mankind. This saved mutants all over the world. The sentinels were hunting mutants, remember? The X-MEN couldn't defeat them. What chance did the random mutants with no training had? It was a slaughter. The X-Men are alive BECAUSE magneto did that. And once he reverses what he did, the sentinels go back to hunting Mutants. See, Xavier is risking the lives of ALL mutants to protect humans (that's why Cyclops stops Xavier). Magneto is risking the lives of all humans to protect mutants. How is one more "moral" than the other, really?

[@dagalitreech]

@@SGALAXIA ok and I support his logic. I would Fashoo be with magneto from day one. Maybe X-men trained me but once I met him I’d be over there lol

[@robertfolkes389]

🧲 Magneto was showing Wolverine Mercy the Whole Time

[@anthonygordon9483]

I feel he showed a lot of the X-Men mercy. To be honest this is the first time he tried to ruthless kill them. He was about to smash professors x head with his helmet. Magneto has always been some what of a coward when it came to facing professor x. Which is why he use to recruit mutants to do his dirty work. When it came to x-men, he wanted them to die, but never by his own hand. This is the first time he doesnt care doing by his own hand.

[@Chad0023]

I always thought he could slit all their throats with a swipe of a finger but chooses to be non lethal

[@franchescamayialmonte1303]

Yes, but I think that comes both ways. Right then and there, Wolverine could have slashed Magneto in half, and it is not the first time he had the chance, and obviously magneto is magneto.

[@aquelegabriel]

​@@franchescamayialmonte1303 yeah, I don't think wolverine was trying to be non-lethal there, bud. He just failed. You don't impale people if you want them to live after that. I also don't think Magnus was crushing Xavier's head with the helmet. I don't see the helmet deforming. I think Charles screams more out of frustration than pain. I honestly think the X-Men are the wrong ones here. Did Magneto cross a line by removing the magnetic shield of the entire planet? Yes. But he had a reason for that: stopping the sentinels that were actively hunting mutants all over the planet. How many mutants magneto saved with that stunt? To start, basically all X-Men. Remember, it's easy for Charles to play the honourable one here. Magneto was the one watching the death. Magneto was the one being tortured and experimented on.

[@aquelegabriel]

​@@anthonygordon9483 oh, and btw, Xavier hides behind his X-Men all the time. The guy has the capacity to ACTUALLY solve all the problems on earth. He's the most powerful telepath in the universe. He could've forced the leaders of the anti-mutant cause to change their minds and abandon their irrational fears of mutants. But he's too afraid to use his power. Xavier is an asshole. He respects the "rights" of people to hate mutants and defend their deaths. Because he's one of the few people who can, actually, erase hateful ideologies from existence. But he refuses to. He prefers to allow mutants to die than for him to act in a "not moral" way by actually using his powers to stop slaughters.

This episode was absolutely incredible. This whole season has been a ride, and Im not ready for it to end

[@dreamlandnightmare]

It better not end on a cliffhanger, or I'll be upset. I hate when shows end the season on a cliffhanger. The original series seasons never ended on a cliffhanger. It's one thing to end an episode on a cliffhanger, in which you only have to wait a week for the resolution, but ending a season on a cliffhanger, in which you have to wait possibly years for the next season, is just unnecessarily cruel.

One thing no one seems to be catching is Bastion saying to his mom's prime form, "It's finally quiet." This is huge because he doesn't hear all the machines due to Magnetos disruption of the electromagnetic field. This was why he was clenching his head/ears in the school flashback, he could here all the machines, like the school clock. Now, it is finally quiet.

[@TheJoygazmic]

So this was his endgame, to for e magneto to quiet all machines

[@watcherzero5256]

[@MusicLover-my6fo]

Seeing Logan attack Magneto from behind stabbing him in the ribs and just talking to him instead of finishing the job reminded me a lot of Thor's dialogue with Thanos in Infinity War. "You should've gone for the head." Logan had the perfect opportunity to capitalize and didn't, Magneto saw this and made Logan pay in the worst way possible.

[@KenshiroBoss]

They need to keep Magneto alive to have him reverse the Earth’s magnetic fields.

[@yusefflowers6260]

Saw this comment on Heavy Spoilers a few hours ago....

[@Astrovite]

Honestly it's kind of a dumb move for Magneto though. I know it's comic accurate but if you think about it Magneto has the most control over Wolverine when he has his adamantium. He can literally puppet Wolverine because of that. So to remove it, knowing he has a beastly healing factor, seems impulsive. I wouldn't be surprised if following that scene Magneto puts the adamantium back into Logan to suspend the torture.

[@terenceflagg6270]

If you read the infinity gauntlet comic. That Thor moment was actually Wolverines part in the comics.

[@SushiTuna635]

This definitely reminds me of infinity war too… xmen and avenger was split up into two teams and both losing their missions

[@OurKindofEntertainment]

I agree about Jubilee's powers still being so generic! After Episode 4, I thought her fight against the Magneto in the video game would've gotten a callback in this episode! Most people say it's the weakest of the entire season (myself included) so seeing a key moment of the episode coming into play in the penultimate episode would've been nice! Also, Magneto said she'd be better off learning to master her abilities to survive in a world that would have her exterminated. So, her taking his words to heart and learning more about her powers to get the better of him during this fight would've been great!

[@chrisnicholson3231]

When Jubilee and Roberto started fighting, I thought she might seriously hurt him as the strength of her powers increases when she's emotional. But now I wonder if she held back because she still has feelings for him. It would be interesting to know what the writers were thinking. Would be really cool to see her cut loose and inflict some major damage on a sentinel or something bigger.

[@IceCubeInMyIceTea]

I like how they have costumes from all over. Rogue has her marvel now costume, sunspot has his new mutant, and the brown wolverine suit. Most shows and movies don’t care how this little detail is important to a lot of fans.

Basically, she's saying that "peace" is not worthy if the price is the sacrifice of their loved ones. In a way, Roberto's mother also chose "peace" when she told him to not fight against the sentinels. Wasn't that the only "peaceful" solution there? Peace in the face of discrimination and injustice isn't really peace. It's oppression. Subjugation.

Been waiting all day for this

[@reecewilliams8349]

Unlucky. In Australia I get to go to bed after watching then wake up to the breakdown hahaha

[@nihil0771]

26:09 wolverine will recover in 5 minutes, Magneto has some vital organs of his snik'd through, he should be near death state

[@justghost8713]

The Fatal Attractions storyline of Wolverine has always been one of my favorite storylines growing up reading comics. What a treat for me👍

[@matthewhostetter8974]

Fatal Attraction was such a pivotal point in Wolverine's history. He was no longer nearly invincible, his healing factor didn't work for several months, he actually felt human and had to learn to adapt. Plus it for the first time confirmed his claws were a part of his mutant power. I'm so excited to see where this goes. Plus the fact they ripped the final moment right from the comic.

[@gamerdaddyomg5224]

@@matthewhostetter8974I never saw his claws as a mutant power. How I interpreted the Fatal Attractions aftermath was that Wolverine had an excess of adamantium ending in his hands that became claws. Over time, his bones adapted with the excess adamantium and he was able to deploy the adapted bones as bone claws that never existed before the Weapon X surgery. I still remember the first issue after where he popped out the bone claws, and how much pain it showed him, that his healing powers masked when it was fully active and not over maxed with healing the rest of the body.

[@matthewhostetter8974]

@@gamerdaddyomg5224 This is an interesting theory but we've learned over time that his bone claws have always been a part of his mutation, in fact, he manifested his claws before his healing factor. We've also learned that he's always in pain every time his claws pop. Something passed to even his children Lauren, Daken and Gabby.

[@cat8506]

@@matthewhostetter8974 in the original show i don't think they are considered to be a part of his mutation. when the x men go to the savage lands in season 2 to save prof X and magneto everyone's powers are disabled by sinister but wolverine whips out his claws and says something like "there's nothing mutant about these". though i suppose it could be a similar scenario to beast or nightcrawler, in that disabling his powers is not going to have him transform into a human again

[@matthewhostetter8974]

@@cat8506 Of course they didn't there, There was still a lot about Wolverine we didn't know back then. Fatal Attraction happened during what might have been seasons 2-3. So the writers didn't know. Hell, we didn't even get Wolverine's true origins till after the show was over. But ironically no X-men cartoon ever really handled his claws being bone. Not till the movies themselves. It's just crazy to think we are getting this moment now and I'm all for it. People always complained Wolverine was too powerful and to much of the "face" of the show. Now we get the see a side of him we only saw in the comics.

[@tyr0n313]

Man I love these recaps. I used to watch the series a bit as a kid and love the nostalgia of 97. But I’ve found myself immediately coming to KZbin after each episode now to see Ryan’s Easter eggs and references.

[@bigd4998]

Still thinking Jean will become Phoenix. It’s been hinted so many times in the series

[@TheSurrealWolf]

The way Jean called to Scott when Cable was attacking her made me think ah man, Scott is going to have to beat up his own son.

[@LeoChaseTheMythMaster]

FATAL ATTRACTIONS!

[@albert20001000]

It's not silly to think the only person to lead the X-Men was Magneto, Magneto says My greatest & closest friend. He stopped his plan in Graduation Day to help save his friend Charles, which basically is a good thing, the right thing too do. They were friends, but they each have different solutions to that problem. I love Magneto very much I believe this show was his best if anyone can think of anymore episodes please tell me who they are!

[@seanwong4755]

Everything is still going as Bastion planned. After he wins, he has Polaris restore the earth's magnetic field.

[@cheekydean16]

Ah yes. That was shown in the previous episode with Cable explaining the future “Utopia”. Thanks for the reminder.

[@somerandomdude8399]

Yeah, this season is definitely ending with an Infinity War style cliffhanger.

[@townleywalk3889]

If shes even still alive DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

[@tzarro]

As that final scene was building, I'm saying to myself "they're gonna do it! They're gonna do it!". It was amazing

[@mauricior.5309]

Looking forward all day on your take on this epic episode 🙌🏽

[@Red_Oliver]

20:25 Hey Doug, Morph can only replicate physical powers not psionic ones from what I understand

[@Mrashxking]

I've been thinking that Mr Sinister messed with morphs powers and that's how he's able to do what he does now

[@jimcounts8124]

That makes sense. Sinister has “unlocked” other mutants powers before. Like when he gave Gambit the power to charge things by sight alone

[@BRMCScouts]

Not sure if it was mentioned in the comments already, but when Rogue talked about Morph, she referenced them as "them" following the recent controversy (?) of Morph being non-binary

[@dorkboy311]

There we go. The good upload. Thanks guys!

[@gamerdaddyomg5224]

About half through, I could tell it was going in the path of the Fatal Attractions story, but I was just in shock when they actually pulled the adamantium out, even if I knew it was coming.

[@312arts]

Cable also wears the blue in Marvel Vs Capcom 2. 😁

[@tun-tunninc.6492]

Wolverine having his claws forcibly retract looked extremely painful. Well. Not as bad as what happened afterwards.

[@abigailaceves9230]

This episode is crazy insane, but the part where Magneto says Shut Up to Charles just gets me.

[@garnetnelson1419]

THANK YOU FOR SAYING “REVERTING TO” instead of “reverting back to” 😂🤙🏽👍🏽👏🏽

[@bytethis]

Since the Genosha episode, every time Remy is mentioned I well up, was always a Gambit boy, the Wolverine ademantium extraction wasn’t that surprising since Magnus is clearly at his end

[@babs4uic]

Same. I’m hoping he comes back at some point… even if as a Horseman

[@anthonygordon9483]

We got to remember that rogue was a villain in this world before. She was persuaded by Mystique and put Captain Marvel in a coma to this day. I like that they used rogue character arc to make her persuasive to join magneto especially after gambit died. I always felt that gambit was the one that kept her at bay from her bad past. They both have past that are not innocent and she related with him the most. Now she lost her moral compass she literally went rogue. It fits well with the story.

[@Ryanthebrobdingnagian]

Fatal attractions hurt me when i was a kid. I loved it. Still have the comic.

[@woke1340]

These episodes have gotten so much better in the past 3 weeks. Pulling the adimantium out of Wolverine in the episode is next level

[@tubebammy]

Sinister: I can show you when I swapped you Jean: It doesnt matter (Rock voice) Me: Yeaahhhhh.... sorry Jean I really do wanna know when he swapped you out

[@coldfire22]

Solid episode. The wigs on the costume stands was weird. The black leather joke was funny. I get it. BUT... considering what Cable was already wearing, it didn't make any sense. One colorful costume to another. Ok. Why would he make the circus joke? Rogue taking Colossus's story beat makes total sense in this show's context. So ok, the big one... Magneto did it. He ripped the adamantium off Wolverine's bones. So what worries me is that when we saw that post a while ago where the show runner said they wanted to keep the focus off Logan, pretty much explaining why they had Wolverine do nothing all season, I joked that they would actually do this to Wolverine as a way to write him off so they wouldn't have any focus on him at all going forward. I hope I'm wrong, but now.. I don't know. Actually there are ways they could do it and make me happy, but you never know. Like maybe in S2 episode 1 we get the moment where Wolverine is training in the Danger room and pops his bone claws the first time (Coy.. sorry man, you are wrong.. the bone claws are awesome! and it was hinted at in the Weapon X comic but ok). That first time he popped his bone claws in the comics I was going nuts. lol Good times. Then in S2 E2 we get Wolverine writing letters to everyone and sneaks off while they sleep. He isn't in the rest of the season. Then the finale they finish up with whatever the season 2 story is and at the VERY end we get a tease of Apocalypse with his four horsemen including Gambit and Wolverine! And that gets dealt with in Season 3. I doubt it will play out like that, but we'll see.

[@Astrovite]

I think Jubilee will definitely figure out how to fly in the finale. She mentioned it in part 1 and seemed like she tried to use her powers to propel herself when she straight up jumped off the building. And then with Simulated old Jubilee in the Mojo episode, showing Main Jubilee that she's capable of so much more with her powers. Maybe Jubilee will end up catching Roberto as he falls. I know he can fly but maybe he ends up with a dampener and falls or something. And that love she feels is what makes her ability to fly click. Also Magneto definitely crimped the helmet to Charles' head to prevent him from using his powers at all. If the helmet can shield the target from attack, then logically it would stop the attacker from being able to target. If that makes sense.

[@TheKonamiMan]

I loved how the 70's costumes and the fight being on Asteroid M almost made it feel like a callback to the old X-Men cartoon pilot "Pryde of the X-Men."

[@shanedbunting]

Not greatest enemy, best friend and closest thing to a brother . Greatest adversary yes , Enemy never .

[@Spongemonkey26]

Scott sent Wolverine to fight Magneto because he dang sure wasn't going to leave him alone on a mission with Jean lol.

[@ShinySephiroth1]

18:56 Jean has always worn her hair down in that outfit, though, as seen in 15:30

[@igualn0mas]

25:44 because Wolverine was the only one who could really give a fatal blow to Magneto. That's why he was in that mission, even Rogue says he is there to k*ll.

[@Kentrc11]

Xavier's first mistake when he got back was taking a nap 💤 instead of going after Bastion
