MCU Meta Discussion

[DaFace]

The various movies obviously deserve their own threads once things actually start moving on them, but it seems like we should have a place just for general discussion about what they're planning. So here ya go.

Cyclops’ quip at the reporter, seeing Genosha thriving, the Morlocks saying not even the X-Men care about them only for Gambit to bust in on the Sentinel head to the theme song, Magneto protecting Leech and the others, Gambit destroying the mega Sentinel thingy, and that “I can’t feel you” fade out. Really good shit.

Did Magneto die, by the way?

Spoiler!

Sentinel says "Omega threat eliminated." So I think so, not only the Morlocks, but Banshee, Madelyn Pryor, Gambit, there's gotta be a rewind mechanic on this one. Sad part is next week is the dumb Storm arc Lifedeath Pt. 2. Maybe they'll split it in half like they did with Motendo to give us some explanations going into Episode 7 - 10. Also Wolverine has been held back so far in this series, need less Scott and Madelyn mental hanky panky and more Wolverine tearing things to pieces imo imo. I'll give the series the compliment that they do a really good job of making each of the X-Men look like the badasses they are though, even more reason I think Wolverine's time is coming.

Spoilers, obviously. And look past the dude geeking out, lol.

I just rewatched the end of the episode and it looks like Madelyn, Banshee, Marrow, some other Morlocks, Magneto and Gambit were all killed.

BUT, like you say, I think they needed a convenient way to ice the Madelyn Pryor storyline. What if they just found it? I read a theory that maybe Leech was dampening Magneto’s powers, leading the Mega Sentinel to believe that he’d been eliminated when he’s actually alive.

If that’s the case, then the only major loss was Gambit. And, sadly, that works. You can’t have the mutant equivalent of 9/11 without having a major cast member bite the bullet.

Would love to see Age of Apocalypse adapted for season 2. Wolverine and the X-Men teased it at the end of its first and only season.

If they killed Gambit off for good (or the forseeable future), then Nightcrawler better take his place.
