Okay, I just watched ep 7 of X-Men '97. My thoughts:
First off, Rogue DESERVED to be angry. She lost Magneto (not really) and Gambit. She needed to feel that anger and let it out.
I feel like we all predicted that Magneto was still alive. But him being held captive by Bastion? That was not on my X-Men Bingo (Bastion's voice though😳)
I loved the whole Nightcrawler comfort thing for Rogue. That was actually really heartwarming but also heartbreaking cause she's so sad.
And finally, the whole Roberto thing. Not really much to be said. It's nice that his mom accepted him as a mutant and the whole "keeping my son being a mutant" thing private makes sense from a business standpoint, even if it's slightly infuriating.
Prediction/hopes for X-Men '97: I predict/hope that when Magneto comes back into the fold with our heroes that he tries to go to Rogue and she just slaps him for even trying. Am I biased? Yes. Is that going to stop me? Hell no!
Okay, everyone please tell me X-Men '97 is living up to the hype, because I need to see my girl Rogue being awesome again. I haven't had time to start watching it on Disney+ yet but 12yo me will get to it, I promise. (Clip Studio + Photoshop for the finishing effects)
