    @@bigzaeya9881 I agree with you and I know that, X-Men was always great at being an ensemble cast of characters with focuses switching from member to member with soap opera themes centered around a bigger plot. I’ve read the comics for years along with other forms of media they had. It’s just Disney like many other companies usually go with the most marketable heroes as the focus or big picture. The fact that they didn’t do that and decided to actually give us a great X-Men show with multiple character arcs and references to comic storylines made it a hit. This is what happens when passionate fans get to make the project and aren’t really forced to do anything they don’t want too by the actual studio.

    I have to admit that you have some fantastic ideas about The Horsemen of Apocalypse for the next season, especially the idea of Morph becoming The Horseman of Pestilence. However, there are some things that I don't agree with. The first thing is that according to the comic series Wolverine after getting adamantine back in him, he became A Horseman of Death much like Gambit. The Second thing is that Storm has already been A Horseman of Famine in two different pieces of X-Men media. The first piece of media that showed Storm has The Horseman of Famine was the final season of X-Men: Evolution. The second piece of media was the movie, X-Men: Apocalypse. So I am going to have to say that even though the ideas that you have are good. I honestly, don't think that The Wolverine and Storm idea will happen.

    In your defense, Scott has been relegated to the whining over protecting “leader” in most adaptations that push Wolverine as the main draw and having Xavier around really made it feel he was always a vice president of the team opposed to its true leader. The professor being gone and Scott having to realize that he is truly the leader in Xavier’s absence when given the opportunity to leave was one of the highlights for me this season.

    Season 1 of X-Men 97 was crazy but the X-Men's battle against Bastion was just the beginning of Apocalypse resuming his domination over the Earth. There's a possibility that Season 2 and 3 will adapt many story arcs from the X-Men comics such as the rise of Apocalypse, the blood of Apocalypse, Second Coming, Deadly Genesis, Rise and Fall of the Shi'ar Empire, Emperor Vulcan, Brood Saga, God Loves, Man Kills, and Onslaught. And Season 1 adapting E is for Extinction, Mutant Massacre, LifeDeath, Fatal Attractions, and Operation Zero Tolerance was perfect. And I haven't forgotten about Feral Wolverine.

I feel like him telling Magneto, "I've been in a lot of "Wars pal," before him having his adamantium removed was a verrrrrry subtle hint at that. And it kind of makes sense. I know his healing factor is stronger buy the adamantium had is advantages too. Just like Angel was made stronger after becoming one, maybe Wolverine takes up the offer as well?

    I still think the main villain of X-men 97 Season 2 will be Stryfe. Reasons: When Apocalypse found out Stryfe was a clone, he deemed him unworthy. Stryfe decided to take revenge and scattered the X-men members across time hoping that the group he sent to the past would take care of Apocalypse for him, while Jean and Cyclops were sent to the future (Stryfe's time) so that he would personally take care of them because he felt they abandoned him. I feel that when Cyclops said in season 1 that he did not want his child to feel abandoned is a foreshadow for Stryfe. So basically the X-Cutioner's Song storyline.

    There are a couple of things that I think they subtly set up. One was an appearance of Vulcan. They yet to discuss the fact that havoc is Scott’s brother. Deadly genesis would be a great way to not just pay that off but to bring a lot of other things to the forefront. Because how that whole thing went down, that was a huge catalyst for cyclops falling out with Professor X. Another key point that I saw and you would’ve missed it if you blinked , Was appearance of Reverend Stryker. That was something I didn’t expect. I know they want to do an X-Men movie, and at this point after seeing episode five, I think they have the guts to do. The God loves/man kills storyline. That’s my two cents. Everything else named was very on point.

    Don't forget with all this apocalypse fan-fare, that the major x-over events in era that were not already hastily smashed into `97 were The Phalanx Covenant and The Age of Apocalypse. As of now we still don't know why the X-Men time-blipped at the end of `97, so they could really easily tie in AoA the same way, revealing that somebody was blipped back to the old days and decided to off Magneto early for the sake of the future, getting Charles instead of course, triggering the AoA for I'm guessing maybe one (two at most) episodes, since there's basically no pacing involved. Slim and Red in "The Adventures of Cyclops and Jean Grey," though not exactly as it was in the comics, seems to point to it pretty neatly at any rate. It means a continuation of their story with Cable, and setting up for Xcutioner's Song stuff, namely it gives them a chance to show Nathan being cloned in the future, so that the Stryfe character has context. Yes, of course the Onslaught thing. Fatal Attractions set that up. But at the same time, they retconned, they hedged. In `97, Charles did not wipe Magneto's mind for ripping the adamantium from Logan; Xavier did not mentally absorb Magneto, leading to an amalgam villain. But they seem to still be going there. Charles did try to "cure" Eric's mind, and we will probably learn later on down the road that he did that by "taking away" some of his burdens, which will serve to corrupt Charles, leading him to eventually spawn off the Onslaught entity. I think the way this probably proceeds is in the S2 finale, where surprisingly the team is met with defeat against Apocalypse, and we need another Phoenix event to turn the tide. Except this time, we get the mutant equivalent of the bigger dino conveniently (and forebodingly) eating the menacing T-Rex for us, when Charles determination is met with a yielding doubt, and Onslaught is released, to immediately punk Apocalypse. Since they'd have spent the whole season building up how bad Apocalypse is, having him suddenly spanked by Onslaught will provide a poignant statement about how big of a problem he represents to the world, and a solid cliff-hanger for whatever's next. Of course that all presupposes pacing and storytelling methods that really weren't there in season one, so it's probably all wishful thinking. It'll probably be rushed in and rushed out while incorporating 17 other arcs instead, and while giving up airtime to, I don't know, another arcade game or something. My hope is that season one of `97 is not telling of how they're going to approach stories in the future, but instead was a necessity of rushing in many elements in order to hastily set up for the story they really wanted to tell afterward. That the whole thing was basically just a preamble. That's my best hope for it, the best excuse for all the rushing and corner cutting. Hopefully we can finally get to a place where they can tell one story and tell it well. I doubt it, though.

    One of the few channels I've seen that interprets the Fatal Attractions lead up to the coming of Onslaught in the right context of the show. Ep.10 wasn't a fake out, it was a deliberate recognition that if Onslaught begins here, that doesn't mean he's meant to appear in the same episode. I expect him to be a second villain of Season 2. Probably with hints of something being wrong with Xavier for the first half of the season, then being a fully realized antagonist for the second half.
