Hey guys please you guys should react to Ramayana trailer. It’s the biggest Indian movie ever and it has hans zimmer music and vfx by the company that has done all the Nolan films including odyssey. Please react to it. Trailer released a few days ago (30th July 2026)
What’s interesting is that in the ending scene of season one when forge was looking for replacement x men. Colossus and Magik were on the board so I wonder if they even knew she was amongst the casualties.
Ilyana dying in Genosha and Colossus becoming an acolyte is a great remix of Fatal Attractions
where's the review for BND? Please upload it! 🫶🏾
Did you guys watched the clayface trailer? I was waiting for your reaction
2:51 Pretty sure Colossus does not have adamant skin.
Colossus: How can any of us know the desires of the dead?
Also Colussus: You would have convinced Illyana.
Not Gummy Bears❣️😂
Augustin cracking me up!
What a great episode! I love Nightcrawler, he's my favorite, so for this episode to show him defend his Half Brother was so good! Love Adrian Hough performance! Met him too! Then you throw in colossus, my dad's favorite is so good!
Trivia: When Colossus lifts rubble to reach his fallen sister Illyana, it is an homage to the cover of Uncanny X-Men 248.
Hector's Nightcrawler imitation at the end was scary accurate LOL
What if?! Doom Patrol formatted after X-Men:TAS & ‘97 as if they existed in the same era of broadcast television? That said, what if “New Teen Titans vs. X-Men” (comic one shot updated & animated) w/ Darkseid still the antagonist seeking the Phoenix Force?

Graydon Creed owed Mutantkind nothing. He's the perfect example of an evil born from Mutantkind's own failures. Mystique and Sabretooth essentially abandoned him simply because he was human.
And then the gall to have a mutant speak for him instead of letting him defend himself.
Exodus's death at his hands was absolutely warranted.
What’s been a weird one for me is the fact that we haven’t seen professor X use cerebro in a decade. Not to try and locate what apoc or his folks might be doing (even if they are “shielded”) not to find X-men since returning to the present. Just not even acknowledging it and just digging in the dirt of genosha and having trauma dump sessions with danger 😂
When hector mentioned the X-men dropping the ball and not checking on Colossus, I thought the same at first. The more I thought about it there was likely months of digging out bodies, finding survivors, treating wounded. And then on top of that the big dogs who would have checked on him get zip zapped to the past and future for months it seems. So I just don’t think they actually had a real chance to check in on everyone who lost someone. We also don’t know if big metal daddy just went straight into exodus anarchy mode. But glad he’s back to deal with magic likely becoming a horseman
Wth went down with Gambit and apocalypse?!?!? Is this somehow part of apocalypse plan or did just Gambit just rebel and kill the being who resurrected him?!?
I’m torn on this season. Personally, I love the episodes that veer away from the overarching narrative. They’re a lot of fun and harken back to how this kind of series used to be structured, with room for standalone adventures. But limiting the season to just nine episodes? 😩 . With so few episodes, it’s hard not to feel like every one should be pushing the main story forward. I’m sure the budget is the primary reason for this. We get quality animation plus yearly releases, so I understand something has to give… but I think if we would get 12 episodes minimum I’d be satisfied.
As a fan of the comics in the 90s. One of my criticisms of the original show that I found unrealistic was the show went 5 seasons without any major roster shakeups
10:39 Boing. Gummi bear bounce 😂
Loved Polaris since I read All New X-Factor
8:12 – When Creed asked "How long we got?" I have no problem with Kurt's answer to err on the side of brevity. But personally, I would have give him a line somewhere along the lines of "perhaps the rest of your life…" and just let that sit there for a moment.
Apocalypse definitely became Gambit no doubt. He transferred his consciousness into him
I 100% agree that it's not about the religion but that characters like Nightcrawler have so much conviction they're willing to eat shit for the sake of their principles. It's true with Nightcrawler, Colossus, and Magneto and I love them all
The pic of Magik looks like anya taylor joy – (IMO)
Bishop was all like I need to release and Polaris was thinking …I can help you with that. 😏
i haaaaaaaaaaaaaate people who spend their time supporting bigots instead of those in need. "i can fix him" is just "i prefer him over you"
nightcrawler lost my respect after this episode. he is a failure and a cultist loon
in the face of genocide, he's still acting like he's got the privilege to expend other mutants lives, his god complex is showing. not killing him is thinking that you aren't responsible for the death he causes. wonder how many of his own will kurt kill?
Im down with exodus and acolyte justice 😤🔥👍💪⚖️
6:24 If anyone dropped the ball, it was Forge. That board in S1 implied Magik was alive and didn't even have Polaris. 😂
Speaking of it, now that Archangel, Havok, Frost, Colossus and Exodus appeared, I guess Iceman and Shadowcat could still make an appearance, too.
You Guys Forgot Apocalypse Likes to Transfer His Consciousness to another Mutant's Body…
With Colossus and Polaris back with the X-Men this Season the team is Stack with Powerhouses
Nah nah nah. I know this is X-Men, but nah. Kill Marvel Trump. Magneto was always right.
Oh wow, Hispanics shitting on ICE for doing their jobs.
