In chess, a gambit is a sacrifice to gain an advantage usually to protect and advance the queen. In this case Gambit made the ultimate sacrifice. A very poetic symbolism. A bittersweet moment. That is why this episode for me cuts deep and now you know why he is my favorite X-Men and even my favorite Marvel character of all time.

Gambit absolutely went out like a G!

Holy hell. It’s been a long time since a cartoon made me cry. This went so hard.

I had to go on a walk after this episode… I was too emotional😂 Gambit is proved himself as a true hero

I do not think that Magneto was the orchestrator. He fights for mutants, not against them. Asteroid M was his dream and this is basically it. And he got trauma flashbacks from the events. This is the second genocide he has to live through. If he did survive though, I could see that as the final straw that breaks the camels back. He tried to be nice. He tried to do things Charles‘ way. But this is war. Whoever sent that Sentinel has to pay. And if it was a human all of humanity.

This episode was by far the best one so far.

Magneto would not sacrifice Mutant blood to force a war. He loved his kind.

When Rogue said “Sugar… I can’t feel you” after choosing Gambit over Magneto, I admittedly shed a tear instantly

Can we all just appreciate the quality and level of animation. Really pays homage to the original but just a beautifully brilliant new level of quality

Magneto was the one that got Mystique to keep the sentinel program going after Kelly pulled the plug, in WatX, just so he could look like their savior and turn them back on the humans.

I definitely think Magneto and everyone he was protecting might be alive because we never saw the bodies. Everyone else who died, we actually saw. Idk how he did it, but Magneto is very cunning. They’re probably critically wounded, but I think they’re alive.

24:10 His eyes are glowing green, not blue, because he's facing the direction of the oncoming explosion. That's why he says he's sorry - he can directly see what's coming and knows he's too late.
