What I Liked
1. The rest of the X-Men have been sent back to 3000 B.C.E. Magneto is speaking to a young Apocalypse; he is speaking to him about becoming a god among men, and that the human race fears him and what he could become. Magneto is risking their fate on Apocalypse, who isn’t to be trusted.
2. Apocalypse wipes out an entire kingdom and army by himself. He even takes on a giant elephant and literally spins it around his head with ease. Apocalypse then goes to take the head of his enemy, but Magneto arrives, and Apocalypse takes him as a prisoner.
3. The rest of the X-Men are trying everything they can to make a new portal to get back to the 1990s, but they are not having any luck, even with the future tech that is in this time period. So now, the X-Men have to rely on one of their most powerful foe, Apocalypse, and Magneto.
4. Anytime Professor X uses his powers to infiltrate someone’s mind, it’s always going to be a power trip, bright lights, wild stuff within the brain. It’s crazy, but I’m fully invested in it every single time. Whatever is close to being revealed, Professor X was shocked at it.
What I Disliked
Nothing to report again in this episode.
Favorite Moment
My favorite moment was when Bishop arrived and saved the X-Men from Apocalypse. The X-Men manage to get rid of everyone attacking them, while Bishop and the X-Men escape back to their time. A big explosion rocks the base where the X-Men were hiding.
Standout Character
The standout for me in this episode was Apocalypse. He was on the verge of being decent but truly showcased his powers and abilities.
