I absolutely love this serious but if I had to make a complaint, it would be that it feels a bit too fast paced. It would be nice to have a little more breathing room between some story lines, but idk if it would work or feel the same way. For example, if they made these episodes 40ish minutes instead, I feel like it would benefit some of the stories to flesh things out more. Of course that adds on to the budget and time to make these, so maybe it's for the best they don't

Angel was mutilated by Harpoon during the Mutant Massacre. His wings were destroyed. Apocalypse turned him into Archangel and made him one of his Horsemen. As shown in the Fox movies.

This is ture in the comics, but it's a little different in the show. In the original 90s show, Angel wanted his mutation cured and funded Dr. Adler's mutant cure. However, Adler had been killed and replaced by Mystique, who worked for Apocalypse, so the "cure" actually brainwashed Angel and turned him into Archangel

For me it made sense that Storm showed up by the end of the battle against the zombi sentinels. In the original show she was usually flying low and in the frontlines so she very often got taken out of fights with a blast. They even reused the animation of her falling down so many times it was frustrating. It happened every time except when it was a Storm centric episode. The 2 most powerful and only omegas of the team, Storm and Jean, were always taken out the same way. Jean would faint and Storm would get grounded with a blast and then the third more powerful, Rogue, would have to catch Storm. Actually now I hope they do that just one time for the nostalgia.

There will be plenty of questions and mysteries in this show, but for me, the biggest one is Why the hell do they bother with the ''skip intro'' button.. Who in their right mind will press that????? You'd miss the most EPIC theme tune, and miss the various changes and hints to future episodes. Hold on gang, you are in for one hell of a ride.

That “shooting balls from his body” thing was a reference of a mutant name Goldballs who is capable of shooting gold balls from his body. Later on he discovered that those balls were actually infertile eggs, changing his name to Eggs.

Easily one of the best projects Marvel has ever made. So glad you guys are checking it out

Morph was a recurring character in the original show. They were "killed" off early on but returned for a few arcs later on. Bishop appeared later on in a major arc involving the future and what happened when the Sentinals won. Morph turned into archangel during the falling scene. And yes that was Sunspot

Somebody has probably Said this already, but Just in case: Morph was created for the original show. He apears in the first episodes, but is "killed" by the sentinels. In a later Season he returns as a villain working for Mr Sinister, who saves him from the sentinels. He eventually redeem himself. Angel became Archangel when he was trasnformed by Apocalypse to become one of the Four Horseman. Thats when he got the metal wings.
