Val Cooper IS Val Cooper!! She is NOT Mystique!! I’ve been crying this for so long and I’m standing by it, it makes zero sense for Val to be Mystique here’s why: 1. Telepaths!! Telepaths would easily be able to see through her shapeshifting. Jean, Madelyne and Emma would have easily spotted her! 2. Wolverine would be able to smell her, he knows what she smells like! 3. Sentinels didn’t identify her as a mutant during the massacre! 4. When Val was alone with Magneto there’s no reason to keep the disguise going! 5. On twitter I thanked Beau for not letting Val be Mystique and Beau DeMayo liked my tweet! Val is Val!! In standing by it!

[@petarpetrov9989]

Your other points stand, but I'm pretty sure I've seen it established (maybe not in the cartoon though) that shapeshifters are a challenge to telepaths for one contrived reason or another. OTOH, a telepath should still be able to tell "hmm, I can't read this seemingly ordinary human, I wonder what's up with that..."

[@antzvoli4577]

I went in the Val is Val rant now watch I tomorrow’s episode it’ll be revealed it’s Mystique…lol

[@GeorgeInglis]

It bugs me because at this point in the plot what would Mystique even contribute to the narrative? She’s not related to Bastion, Mister Sinister or Magneto in any meaningful way so if Val Cooper was Mystique… who cares?

Val is not mystique, she was speaking from a human experience when talking about Magneto. “He knows us (humans) better than Charles”

It's definitely Val Cooper. And she's changed her stance after all she's witnessed. I do wonder where Mystique truly is during all of this.

[@drudle]

​@@LucLightWolf121 Even Trask regretted his actions. Both Val and Trask were in the mindset of, "We're just taking precautions to help humans" and not "We want to kill all mutants." Like, mass genocide wasn't their thought process even though, inevitably, it's where this ideology always leads.

I absolutely flipped out when they showed Doom, Zemo, and about 4 or 5 other Masters of Evil types, all like "yikes, even for us this is a bit much... anyway, GO TEAM WINNING SIDE, woooo". And the Nightcrawler POV for bamfing through the brimstone dimension was bonkers! Bastion literally playing the long game by hopscotching over mutants in evolution to just create better humans is also bonkers and a great use of the character.

when you mentioned people seeing them in costume and being like "oh you're a normal person", I mean comics come with their own universal disbelief built in, but IRL man, some of us were dressing crazier than the xmen at the time in the mid 90s. Even I spent an unfortunately large chunk of the late 80's and early to mid 90's wearing a lot of eyewateringly garish spandex and dancewear around even to school with a black leather jacket and jeans or jean shorts over it and neon tights under. It was... kind of a thing, and I was far from the only one dressing like that, and a lot of people were just like "good grief it's the weird kids being weird again, with their music television and their hairspray and crazy fashion."

[@goflowolfog9833]

Seems only right that they would adapt Operation Zero Tolerance, which was released in 1997, in X-men '97. I honestly thought that crossover was a low point for X-men comics, but the writers of this show are making it so much cooler. I don't think they're going to do Onslaught this season, but with the fast pace of this show anything is possible. I don't think they would introduce Bastion just to have him be defeated this quickly. I still expect the last episode of the season to end with the X-men fighting Bastion himself. What happens with Magneto, I have no idea.

Hector, the word you were looking for is “antepenultimate,” which means third from last 🤓

Seeing and experiencing Kurt BAMF!-ing reminded me of when we first saw Monica and Yelena Blip back. Just awesome.

[@seraph2382]

Magneto did a similar EMP in Fatal Attractions. I think this leads to a scene where we'll see Prof X confront Erik, Wolverine having THAT thing happen, then Xavier doing the thing to Magneto that results in Onslaught. I think that's what season 2 will be about

[@billybugentertainment]

I honestly hope we see Onslaught at least teased if not a full appearance this season.

[@kadosho02]

I just had a thought, maybe episode IX's intro will have the Avengers VS X-Men clashing Episode 8 tho, holy cow This is going to be nuts

[@djcowell91]

They'll totally do Onslaught, but next season. These last two episodes have to be the rest of the Fatal Attractions comics storyline. Xavier comes back next episode and resets the team while Magneto sets up his base. In the final episode, Magneto strips out Wolvie's adamantium and then Xavier's response is to mindwipe Magneto. And THAT was the setup for Onslaught, so all next season is dealing with Wolvie and the Onslaught Reveal. Season 3 (or a few episode arc) could be Age of Apocalypse! So much potential and all so well done!

Storm is busy with her long hair. She's coming

[@johnniequinn3215]

Storm will have to help Forge for a bit, unless he has emp proof spare parts handy.

[@LucLightWolf121]

Forge is "the rebel" Cable was referring to. It will be good to see Cable interacting with current day (1997) Forge.
