I feel like one thing that is constantly forgotten when channels critique the pace a show may take or how the dole out the stories is that the storywriters and artist do not dictate when and how long the series can go for. This isn't One Piece in Japan when the creator has free reign to create the art in their vision. Disney is given them this amount of time with no future guarantees outside of a second season which may be it's last. What they have been able to do in the timeframe given has been amazing and I am loving it.

This panel definitely needed Black voices to touch on the subtext. I think yall missed some of the symbolism of Storm regaining her powers. Storm has spoken about having identity issues since the original show(also in the comics) and being torn between multiple worlds. It is also important to remember the Head Writer and Showrunner of Xmen 97(Seasons 1 and 2) is Beau Demayo a gay black man. So he is exploring a lot of subtext many might not be picking up on. Demayo even referenced George Floyd "I can't breathe" when Ororo is in the coffin. Storm's powers reignited because she came to terms with her own identity of what it means to be a Black woman who is also a mutant. Losing one's center because of the pressure of constantly fitting into this neat box in society. While being so unsure of yourself to the point of wanting to be something else. She regained her powers because she faced her fears head-on and realized who she was. That she is more than the suffocation of societal pressure, her traumas, and fears. She obtained the actualization that she is the lightning, she is resilience, and she is the Storm.

But when a branch grows out of the armpit area, suckers, it becomes a new plant that can be detached from the main stem. Suckers are new universes.

i just rewatched the original series and i think everyone forgot that during the season 4 apocalypse arc when apocalypse was essentially erased from time, sinister escaped through time before the psychics erased apocalypse. so basically this sinister is just the continuation of apocalypse plan from the season 4, 4 parter(which by the way at the very end of, charles has a conversation with magneto while standing.)

It’s it’s all there in the conversation. You just have to listen to what they’re saying and how they’re saying it.

Maybe Sinister did use the attack to kidnap mutants. Sinister kidnapped Morph after he was "killed" by Sentinels. And Apocalypse doesn't want mutants to rule the world. Apocalypse is as far beyond mutants as mutants are beyond humans. There is no freedom from Apocalypse, there is only freedom through Apocalypse.

I don't agree with them this time. Storm always had a lingering doubt and was subconsciously worried about using her powers in the originally series. Then, in episode 2 she talked with Madelyn about her worries and fears showing she always had a mental block of some sort in her mind and was always holding back her powers because of what could happen if she didn't and people's reaction to her. It wasn't messy at all. It was her story but Forge was her guide. Also, the energy from his device worked but it was her mental block and doubt that kept her powers at bay in episode 4 which is why it didn't work. Now, she overcame her demon, the Adversary, her manifested fear and doubt in physical form and came back stronger than ever. Her journey felt earned but to each their own, I guess.

It honestly feels like Sinister and Apocalypse are in cahoots. They're trying to purge out all the boring/lame powered mutants and having only the strongest/best combat mutants survive and this was their way of ensuring it. Sinister gets better selection of genes to pull from and Apocalypse gets to rid of all the weak mutants. Everyone wins (except for Genosha of course 😅)

About Time Travel: I don’t know if the original took timeline changing seriously or if previous timelines still exists. I hope they do take it as any altered timelines will still remain and that the new timeline of they’re going to try to avoid or minimise the tragedy that they do still remember the loses and sacrifices that had occurred in the branch timeline.
