Magnetic

[injury-65447 · 9/10 · 14 June 2020]

This is a very Action packed and fast paced episode. It almost feels a little rushed, the way they pack in Magneto's backstory as well. I almost feel as if that should have been a separate episode.

The moments with Beast are very clever. I like how the guards accuse him of looking at Animal Farm simply for the pictures. It's good character development to have him go through a trial - he will take any prejudice the humans throw at him in his quest for peace, tolerance and understanding. Philosophically attuned with Professor X.

Magneto is such a big character - the tone of the episode is suitably epic and large scale. Are we already on the verge of nuclear war here?! It does a good job of showing that he is a force to be reckoned with. This guy is extremely powerful and also he is personally singularly obsessed With his cause. He's not going to be a pushover to deal with.

We also get nice moments between Wolverine and the mysterious Sabretooth. We can only guess at what Wolverine knows about this volatile mutant. Will be interesting to see how Sabretooth fits into the show. At this stage we know nothing of his allegiances or what triggers his intense rages.

Extremely action packed Episode with lots going on. Almost demands a rewatch to take it all in.

It's ok, mainly serves as an introduction

This episode is not that special, it's basically an intro to an important character with some and gives some of the background of who they are and what the connections are.

The plot is simple and few main characters of the roster actually appear.

Still gave a 7/10 coz it's probably as good as it get for doing an intro. And it gives character development on other characters.

Enter Magneto.

Talk about overpowered, enter Magneto. His introduction's rather rushed I reckon, though equal to the Professor I guess. It's mostly discussion in this rivals episode, roughly on par with the opening two-parter. Each side wanting to help the other, but wanting different outcomes. Where Beast waits for his arraignment in court in front of an anti-mutant public. Magneto tries to break Beast out of jail, only to receive resistance from Beast. Magneto then attacks a military base, trying to bring the mutants together against the oppression brought upon them. Beast's certainly an interesting character.
