GamesRadar+ Verdict
Completely and utterly devastating, although we absolutely saw it coming.
Warning: Major spoilers for X-Men ‘97 episode 9 below!
The penultimate episode of X-Men ‘97 season 1 has arrived and the end is nigh.
There’s no way any of this ends on a high note.
Great guy, wetotallydidn’t see this coming!
“With great power comes great responsibility”).
Magneto proposes that they turn Earth into a new Genosha, and kill the remaining humans.
Rogue, grief-stricken and pissed as all hell at the Professor, joins him.
Shockingly, Sunspot also chooses Magneto…leaving Jubilee behind.
But it’s okay, you guys Xavier is going to talk to Magneto.
Are we supposed try and see the good in even the worst of people?
In this case, the answer is absolutely not.
Do not forgive your enemies.
Now, at first, I screamed.Anotherbeloved X-Men is dead?
And not just any X-Man,theX-Man.
When you think X-Men, you think Wolverine.
You think Logan and his attitude and facial hair and claws, wearing that classic yellow suit.
But alas, it’s comic book-accurate (from X-Men Vol.
2 #25), and in the comic, Wolverine lives.
Jean uses her telekinetic powers to somehow hold his skeleton together.
Either way, it’s looking bad.
It’s looking real bad.
Of course, we all saw this coming.
That said, it doesn’t make it any less devastating.
I guess that makes me a masochist.
