Warning: Spoilers for X-Men ‘97 episode 6!
The emotional whiplash from this show is almost too much, but damn is it so good.
However, remember when I said no one really dies in Marvel?
As it turns out, I was right.
The writers giveth and taketh away.
Yep, Charles is back.
He’s alive, and he’s engaged to Empress Lilandra of the Shi’ar people.
I understand episode limits and time constraints, and why episode 4 combined both Motendo and Lifedeath.
It was a good opportunity to juxtapose some heartbreak with some lighthearted, goofiness that the show was missing.
She saves Forge’s life, and herself.
Storm deserved her own episode.
She deserved her moment.
I’ll be sure to stock up on tissues.
The first six episodes of X-Men ‘97 are available now, with the remaining episodes set to drop weekly.
