Amazon ain’t doing the show any favors with the release schedule
I’m gonna need a season 3 premier by the end of the year/beginning of next year before I believe all those claims that we won’t suffer like we did with this season
It didn’t help that season 2 part 1 is kinda mid imo
@@Chadius_Thundercock it absolutely is, yeah. It has 2 alright episodes and 2 mid to bad episodes. Part 2 is solid throughout though.
It wasn't Prime Video that made the schedule like that it was the studio and show runners. Robert Kirkmans decision, I believe.
If you think its amazons call and not inept producers being unable to deliver sub par animation.. when fuutrama and simposns and family guy and american dad and whtever else were spitting out 15-20 episodes a year... well you are quite mistaken
Cecil is such an underrated character this season. We see bits of humanity and compassion from him, but they're always covered by a veil of uncertainty. You want to believe he cares about the other characters, especially Mark, Debbie, and Donald, but you just can't trust him. Every interaction, word, and action has to be analyzed and I love it. We see a lot of his softer side but even then it might just be an act. I can't even blame the guy since he's up against random bullshit every other minute. Super secret government leader type characters are always either cold assholes or cool badasses. Cecil is such an interesting character.
THANK YOU FOR SHOWING DEBBIE THE LOVE SHE DESERVES , I feel like no one talks about how well her arc is done and how VASTLY it improves on the comics
Nah fr in the comic she literally is just depressed for half the thing and her story revolves around Nolan, she actually has gown to be her own person which is hella cool
Debbie and Eve are both much better than their comic counterparts Mark's lucky 😂
Sandra Oh deserves a lot more credit for making Debbie such a compelling character. She is on the same level as Jk Simmons and Steven Yuen in terms of voice acting imo.
@@kickass2117 1000%
One thing I would like to see is her alcoholism because the attention it gets it the show is mixed, like sometimes it feels it’s played for comedy, so I can’t tell if they will actually dive into it because I wish they would, when she blames mark for Nolan leaving I thought that was super interesting and which a few tweaks could be a insanely good moment where Debbie isn’t just a victim that needs to overcome her situation but also inner own way a bad person that needs to improve herself beyond getting over what other people do.
"I can't get mad at Mark or the fans will hate me again..." was my _exact_ thoughts on how they wrote her for season 2.
Yep, I honestly feel like she was written WORSE in early season 2 just because of that. Instead of addressing the problem from season 1, they swept it under the rug and turned Amber into a different character, hoping that people would ignore it or forget. It just feels weird. Thankfully it resolved really well, but still.
Except that's pretty much how it happens in the comics as well.
@@Daranik84no? Amber is a lot angrier in the comics but they both agree that her feelings are valid and they split up
@@Daranik84Except comic Amber is a completely different character.
Lol she started taking her bipolar meds again
I've seen plenty of talk and buzz about it. It just didn't have any massive "break the internet" moments like Nolan killing the Guardians or Nolan beating down Mark, and it didn't need them either.
It was a very good season, but like you said there weren't many shocking or overly climatic moments. The only "weakness" this season has is that it is more set up for the truly epic things to come.
Totally see what you mean. For me, that lizard league fight was that moment for me this season. This season felt like it focused more on the emotional weight all these characters shoulder and developed them enough to pull at our heartstrings when something insane pops off.
Tbh, this season was mainly setup. After this point, season 3 is where shit gets real. Like, if anyone read chainsaw man, you could equate what's gonna go down in season 3 to what happened during chainsaw man after the bomb girl arc. In other words, expect chainsaw man ass pacing fr.
I feel like "I thought you were Stronger" could've been the moment had it not been spoiled by most people
@@PugFeistI feel the same it definitely talked the social and mental aspects of being a superhero.
They shot themselves in the foot releasing with a 4 month hiatus in between. Still excited for Season 3 tho, Kirkman said every episode's like a finale for it.
Wait does that mean season 3 is the last one???
That means every episode is gonna have a 4 month break in between
@@trapsackno thats likw half of all the content or a lil less than half
@@trapsackdefinitely not lmao
@@trapsack Probably not
100% agree about getting more voice actors, it was getting really noticeable how many characters have the same voice actor as new characters were introduced
Totally on the Mark and Amber stuff. I thought they'd ended like four episodes in a row and each time it was like "oh... they're still together? They're still having the same conversation as last time but haven't actually... ended it yet?" Felt real weird
Most realistic thing in the show honestly
Because in the comics he ended it as soon as he got back from space with sequids, because it wasn't fair to her, him being away so much. He also came back to her chilling in her room with some dude.
i agree this season kinda went nowhere with that despite all the time they spent on it lol. just get with eve already, man!
Have you never been in love? Even if the person is straight up toxic you try your damnest to make it work
@@Neo.Jordon Yeah, so happy they cut that thing out, it painted Mark in a really ugly light... And of course, the way said dude turned out in the end wasn't all that pretty either...
After I heard about the mid season break, I decided to wait until all episodes were out to watch the show. And God did that make it so much better
Yea, I don't blame you. The blue balling was bad
I'm currently starting S2 from the beginning after just finishing the last episode to see if the change in pacing changes how I perceive the story. I enjoyed the season, but it felt disjointed, and some plot points seemed out-of-the-blue, but I suspect that's because I watched S2 weekly as the episodes came out.
@@JuliusCheeser223I just forgot about it tbh and then just saw they came back and was like oh nice. Plus bad batch season 3 came out soon after the mid season break.
Haven't watched it yet solely because of that, and now Marcus has convinced me.
@@GriffinWiebelit’s really good. Not watching it because of a break is just dumb
Rex became the GOAT this season, he carried his whole team even after a bullet entered his head.
Yup.
I do like Rex’s development but I do think having him have such a change after being shot in the head was weird . If I was shot in the head I think I’d be a worse person after. Or I feel they should of given him more of a disability to adapt to after it, like he doesn’t even have a speech impediment.
@@felixowen2693it depends on the person really. Like I for one would probably be a better person solely because I'd be so grateful I'm still alive after getting shot in the head and make me rethink on my past actions.
@@felixowen2693 He was trying to be better before hand. Its obvious when he went to speak to Eve, although he wasnt perfect and wanted to slack off. But getting shot made him realise how fragile everything is
@@crimsoneclipse1882 no I mean I’m pretty sure losing parts of your brain result in aggression. Idk it might depend on what part of your brain goes away. Unless he was lobotomised and just chill.
Marcus is like the 4th or 5th person I've heard say the Atom Eve special fight was on another level. Goes to show when you only have to animate one episode, you can put your all into it.
I have watched so many great superhero fight scenes but the Bridge fight in the atom eve special is Great. It's one of the best, if not THE best. I love how it was animated, the music, the camera angles, the choreography. Chef's Kiss.
The storyboard artist they hired for that segment boarded the whole thing like they were doing key animation, which is why the movement felt more dynamic. I wish they would spend the time and money on artists like him who are willing to go harder in storyboards like that.
They definitely fumbled the bag with Amber in season 1, then overly course-corrected in season 2. It's such a whiplash
Look a little deeper. Amber isn't understanding at all, it's still all about her. Post graduation, when they meet in the tree house? William says something goofy, Mark broods, Eve makes a short comment about helping with cleanup - and Amber goes into far too much detail about her helping out at the shelter. The talk between Mark and Art about girls? Amber is perfect and deserves better. Hell, she is so perfect that she feels guilty for stealing Mark's time away from people he could save. The damn BREAK UP scene they had makes Amber sound like the most entitled character in the entire show.... Imagine that wasn't Mark she was giving this speech to. imagine that was literally any other dude who has a dangerous profession, getting lectured by his girlfriend how him going out and doing something important makes her feel like she is bereft of "agency". I didn't think they could make that character worse, but somehow, they managed...

The mid-season break was so bad i deadass forgot that angstrom was a character in the show
"At least the ones that survive". But nobody died????
Spoilers lol (dw I already watched it but like he said others haven’t)
Honestly really disappointed by that. I was okay with Rex surviving because he was by far the most interesting guy in that triplet, then I was shocked yet happy with Shrink Ray surviving. Then by the very end Kate returns and I'm like wtf
I just hope they go full on Dragon Ball on the Viltrumite vs Viltrumite fight scenes on the next seasons.
Giving the Anissa vs Mark fight, I think they will.
I 100% agree. Cyborgs voice actor appearing randomly throws me off every time.
Skyrim type shit
Yeah...especially when he also voices one of the Guardians.
Boo-yah!
Cyborg?
@@dearratboycyborgs voice actor from teen titans
When you compare just the screentime Nolan had in S1 vs angstrom Levy in S2, it makes sense why folks weren't as invested in this guy.
I don't think that had much to do with it, I & many other found Angstrom's vendetta extremely captivating.
I might be wrong but I hear Levy could return.
In this season
For me Nolan was a mystery I didn’t know why he was doing things and each episode made me believe he was evil but I was never worried about mark shocked but not worried. Levy was finding ways to kill mark only showing up a few times but I was always wondering when he would show up and who was working with him I unlike Nolan who was evil levy was insane and his moments with marks mom had me so worried for her and the baby
@@a.f.watcher8888 he ain't dead
Totally forgot about the show but your thumbnail reminded me the second half had been released. Thank you, would have totally forgot about it for a while otherwise lol. Spot on about the bleakness vs hope theme. A good superhero fantasy inspires heroism. A great superhero show includes the flaws and cynicism of the world. The best superhero story should ground itself in the bleakness and challenges of the world but inspire hope in spite of them.
Hey man, love your videos! Really enjoying these last few you’ve put out in quick succession, thanks for everything!
i really wish i was a fly on the wall during the meeting in which amazon decided it would be a great idea to split an 8 episode season in half with a 4 month hiatus in between, it literally killed the momentum of the series :/
Oh hey thafnine how whtear up there 😏
The horror game guy with funny ADHD editing 🫵
I agree with you increased size thigh streamer that I watch, it’s kinda hard to get into a good series when all the build up and investment is broken from a 4 month hiatus, not to mention this season felt like it needed to be way more than 8 episodes. Like 15 or 20 episodes at least because so much stuff like Angstrom or Mark’s relationships or Nolan and the Viltrumites are all crammed in way too badly
It probably went something like "man these strikes are kinda actually hurting our profits, so while we have to wait for the last episodes to be finished, how about we delay a few more months to release them until we roll out the ads system at the end of the tax year & add that premium tier? We can guarantee multiple months of subscriptions and take advantage of Spider-Verse being delayed and Marvel & DC slowing down their releases! We'll be the only new superhero property airing for everyone to watch and we'll rake in billions!"
It was kirkman's idea, just like he did in the walking dead, it's not amazon.
Think Amazon! Your release schedule will outlast the attention of every insignificant subscriber on Prime! You'll live to see the excitement crumble to dust and blow away! The hype and the momentum WILL BE GONE. What will you have after a 109 day hiatus?!
Lmao

The show didn't lose it's hype though...it was getting 100k+ views in just a couple of hours on YT, a lot of people were talking about it on twitter, and agent spider increased the attention around it too...oh and it became #1 on prime.
daaaaaaaamn two videos in the same week thank you marcus, u are my goat. personally I enjoyed the stuff with college and amber mainly because I thought I could relate to a lot of how mark was feeling in those regards, but yeah def a little drawn out when it should have happened in half the episodes. Though the ending to that arc was really good IMO so it kinda made it worth it to me.
Great video king. Big fan of your work keep it up
LMAO, the voice actors critique in on point, IMO. Clancy Brown is GOATED, but I ain't tryna hear Mr. Krabs everywhere.
It just makes me laugh at this point, it's almost like a running gag in of itself at this point.
LMAO
Or luthor
You’re lame.
It's a theory that I haven't seen that many people talk about, but I think the break was a result of Amazon spreading out content because of the strikes. Because they were intent on not paying people for months, they decided to spread things out, since for the last few months, they've only had 1 big show running at a time
I think it was also that they were rolling out the ad breaks around that time and they wanted more people to sign up for the ad free tier.
@@TheLeftistOwlwhy not do that for their most popular shows then instead of invincible?
@@pooppoop8142invincible is one of their most popular shows atp
@@pooppoop8142 Invincible is one of their most popular shows. The other shows were probably already slated for a specific time and to reverse wouldn't have been worth it.
it's one of their most popular shows
Love the point you make around 8:00 - from the time I read Invincible I always saw it as the reconstructionist superhero story. Like okay, we've had all the stories about how living in a superhero world wouldn't be the four-colour fantasy of the golden and silver ages. How heroes wouldn't really be heroic. Now here's how they *could*, while still retaining the realism.
Dude I love how you used Manons theme from SF6 in the vid, its sooo good I know
3:20 I believe Mark´s arc is about him trying his hardest to convince himself that he´s not his dad, that he´s not capable of losing control no matter what the universe throws at him. Even if his mom and boss insist that he´s not him, Mark never truly accepts this. As Mark said to Darkwing´s sidekick : -You have no idea what im capable of. 3:50 thats kinda the point tho, Mark really doesnt wanna turn into a super-soldier that does Cecil´s dirty work. That´s why he wanted to make it work, to look for alternatives so superhero´ing isnt his go to, but Mark cant help himself. If he has the ability to help people, he will go where Cecil tells him to, because at the end of the day, there are lives at stake.
fully agree. While his arc is a bit similar to last season's he's trying to figure out how he can NOT just be a superhero. Last season was about him balancing being a hero and normal since he had to live the double life but now he has to choose.
Plus, it shows that Mark is similar to Nolan in more ways than the whole finale dilemma. He has superhero-ing built into his blood BECAUSE of his dad. It's why I believe that's the major thing that made Mark a hero in this universe. In most, his dad was probably more open with his Viltrumite side which influenced him to be more like "his people". Interesting stuff imo!
I was sick of mark whining by the end, how can you be distraught that you killed a guy who threatened to kill your brother and mother in front of you
@@lukedevlin5948 "If it is natural to kill, why do men have to go into training to learn how?" - John Baez There is an ocean of difference between a revenge power fantasy daydream, and the reality of taking a life, regardless of the external pressure.

@@mcmosfet2856 fair point, can’t say I have killed anyone, but equally in a situation of not only self defence but defence of my family I can’t say I would have any regret of putting down a deranged psychopath. But maybe mark is scarred from the image of angstroms face as a soup. I just think he comes off as weak as opposed to resilient by the end when there’s a much bigger battle ahead of him
Anyone else annoyed that amazon put ads on their streaming service
I was, but at the same time, I understand that the streaming model is collapsing, so if they don't put in ads, either they jack up the prices or cut content to meet their quarterly goals. Granted they're going to do all those things anyway, but if ads slow down the process, I'll take the small win where I can.
ublock origin my guy hasn't failed me yet
thats why they did a split in the season, the first part didnt have ads and then the second part did. Cant even watch fallout without ads now, how much money does amazon fucking need man?

I was also floored by the fight in the atom eve OVA thingy. i saw a clip of the fight on yt and immediately watched the whole thing. I like how she is a foil to mark because her backstory is about being ostracized for her powers and them being a problem, while mark was basically raised as a superhero.
Which makes me kinda question why she kinda lost her creativity using her power as she’s older
@@madtitan0825 i think she just learned to use them more effectively because in her episode, she was using her powers for the 1st time so she was creative with them but as she grew up she found simpler ways to deal with enemies remember how much collateral damage was there in her episode?
He was not raised as a superhero
I think you mean that while Eve had powers but was ostracized for it, Mark desperately wanted powers to be like his dad.
dude thank you for the quickie, thought we would get a show that came out last year in the catch up
Tbh I don’t really get what you mean by saying it’s the closest thing we’ll get the a western shonen. We’ve had other western fighting shows before.
As a comic reader, knowing what is getting set up for the upcoming seasons, I hope to God there isn't a quarter year hiatus EVER again
I hope they cut to a hiatus mid anissa cratering mark.
I CANT BELIEVE…. YOU ACTUALLY…. SHOT ME IN THE FUCKING HEAD
It looks like you and I realised the season existed around the same time and watched it, because no sooner did I finish it a couple of days ago and you upload this video lol Reminded me why I like this show tbh, really good season. The voice acting is phenomenal on all sides.
Mark being fixated on collage for.. reasons.. was the most confusing thing to me. He never articulates why it matters to him beyond staying with his girlfriend.
I think it was a desperate cling for some normalcy in his life. The ending is him finally accepting he can't live that normal life and that he's now all in on the superhero life.
Best surprise casting was Peter Cullen. All I could here was Optimus Prime
All that's missing was him shouting his iconic catchphrase, "I'll kill you!"
when they fight the viltrumites he better say, "coalition, roll out"
Shoutout to the absolutely class animation bit they did in one of the early episodes this season - gold 😂
That scene at the sci fi convention was one of the funniest bits I've ever seen.
That was in the second to last episode of the season watchu talkin about early
The animation this season is so much worse than season 1. Feels like their animation budget was cut. All the animation is stiff
the moment is the comics is just a great, but instead of animation workarounds it’s about reusing art in comics
@@lorenzo5488Nah, the animation is generally better than season one as season one had way more janky animation than season two. Just go back and rewatch how janky episode four of the first season was and no episode in season two ever dips to that low of quality. Where season one was better was the direction as I think overall, season two isn’t nearly as well directed as season one, especially when it comes to fight scenes.
Seeing this video let me know season two had wrapped up, thanks for the notice! 😂
I watched the whole season once it was out and finished the day you put this vid out funny enough.
Rex went through a huge redemption arc in season 2 and it made me like rex. Also everyone including Angstrom’s actor did a stellar job with S2 Also the agent spider josh keaton cameo, I liked it
This season genuinely had me crying at multiple points throughout the season and I'm glad I waited for the entire season to come out before binge watching it, I don't think it would've had the same impact on me if I watched the first part and then waited for the second part.
I absolutely love this show!!! ....and even my enthusiasm was killed by that mid season break. I didn't even know when it came back until the rest of it was out. And I basically forgot what was going on.
I liked when they had the little joke about cutting corners in animation, and then later in the episode when Mark and Amber have their big resolution, they focus on all the things they said they ignore when they're trying to save time and cut corners. Was a really nice touch 👍
I wish he talked about angstrom, genuinely my favorite performance of the season
🤡
Sterling K Brown is not In enough projects. Dude is big time.
Nah the villian was trash
The college part for Mark was something I couldn't get invested in mainly because why is he there? What's his major? What's his future other than a hero? These questions popped up because why is Mark trying so hard to go to college? Is it solely for amber or is he actually interested in something? So far with season 1 we saw him want to be a super hero so badly and with season 2 him controlling himself and showing people in charge that he can be trusted. So, what's up with him trying to stay in college and for what?
because we wanted to be something other than just Invincible the Viltrumite. He didn't want to be like Batman where Bruce Wayne is basically non-existent.
6:20 oh my god that explains SO much lmao 😂
Amazon definitely wanted to wait for them to roll out the unskippable ads before continuing the season
THANK YOU for doing a video on this. I LOVED season 2 almost as much as season 1. It’s the only show I’ve been excited about in years.
Was sitting up waiting on this one to come out
Debbie is also my favorite. Yes I'm a Mama's boy 😂😂😂
I appreciate the meta humor when Mark visits the comic nerd convention type thing and gets exposition dumped about how to save money on animation so there can be more nice battle sequences while they employ and highlight the tricks talked about.
i was gonna wait until it was all out but I guess I forgot. thanks for the reminder

Been waiting for this
Their *real* reasoning for the mid-season break was to 1. Work on season 3 during the break, to get it released earlier, and 2. Apparently Amazon implemented commercials to its standard tier of Amazon Video subscriptions. Guess when that happened? Inbetween the hiatus. You can avoid the commercials, with an added fee of course. I remember when they said that they wanted the fans to “Digest what they saw in episode 4” during the break but like, dude, whats there to comprehend or digest? You painted it quite clearly.
Went ahead and read the whole comic after S2 and there's a lot I'm looking forward to

Season 2 is good but not nearly as strong story-wise as the first season. This season is essentially dealing with all of the aftermath of season 1, which isn't necessarily a bad thing because it's good to have the character breathe and really feel the impact of what they went through. However, in season 1 you could definitely feel the build up as to where the season was leading ultimately culminating in the last two episodes of the season being full on epic. Season 2 ultimately feels like it is suppose to be a bridge just to get the audience from season 1 to season 3 which is where it suffers. Once all the seasons are out and viewers can continue straight through, I think season 2 will get more shine but all of the breaks did a massive disservice for this season.
I kind of like that everyone is voiced by king Ezequiel, azula, or the guy with one arm from the walking dead. I think it’s funny every time I notice it
Second half I didn’t even know when it came out. By the time I checked prime, two episodes had already dropped for me
I pulled up Prime on Wednesday expecting a new episode, couldn’t believe the season was over lol. That was a horrible roll out plan by Amazon
I’m okay with Mark trying live normal through the season because it shows how different he is from the other Marks we saw and why he won’t turn,also… Conquest will wake him up next season 😅
Binging it now as we speak. I read the comic up to around where season 1 ended in highschool, so not knowing where this one is going is really cool. Not up to date yet tho
I was so hyped for season 2, but the break stole all my enthusiasm. Didn't even watch the second half, just saw the highlights on youtube.
Something I see no one talk about is how well the title cards improved this season. In season one, the title cards usually come out of nowhere and are just plain goofy at times. In season 2, there are some amazing title card buildups, and give so much emotion to the scenes. (Shout outs to episodes 1, 2, 3 and 6. Those title cards were on a whole nother level)
ngl i prefer the old title cards in season 2 they pause a bit then it pops up which i didnt like much its like it was being too self aware

Ep 1 was foul for actively playing with us with the constant buildup before moving on only to use it at the PERFECT time at the end. Also I did think the one in ep 8 is funny considering the jogger didn't even say Invincible. Good shit and an actual great joke before one of the most serious, tense, hard to watch parts of this show and probably of the ENTIRE comics.
They better not repeat the same eight episode's split in season three. Especially if they adapt the important narrative after Mark defeated Angstrom Levi.
i enjoyed the fourth wall writing not too heavy but a nice surprise when it shows up
Dude invincible is so good that me and my friend basically forced our friends who weren't into it to watch season 2 with us and within an episode or two they were just as into it as we were. I even got one friend to read the comics. The release schedule is undoubtedly wack but invincible is still the best American animated show currently ongoing.
“The ones that survived” literally nobody dies. It’s just a bunch of gore and they all live happily ever after this season.
Definitely made the season feel less important overall without the stakes.
This show is the definition of a scattered plot. It feels like an entire show made of filler arcs, with not enough time dedicated to actually making us interested in anything beyond the first season

It’s insane how good the side characters/subplots are in Invincible. So many shows try to branch out with multiple ongoing subplots only to completely fall flat but each one in lnvincible is engaging and interesting.
I watched the first part as it released and when ep 4 hit i was like "hell yeah now we going somewhere" and then one week later there was nothing, after that i discovered that i needed to wait for months, and then i forgot about the show. Untill recently when i saw some people talking about it and i remembered it exists.
Agreed with literally all of your points, but AMEN to the needing new voice actors bit. I will agree I have an ear that can pick up similar voices a LOT, but damn if it isn't distracting as all hell. ESPECIALLY with Amazon's X-Ray feature pointing out just how many characters Grey Delisle or Ross Marquand are playing in one scene. Having Ross voice both Rudy and Immortal knowing they'd have this many scenes together especially has been driving me crazy.
Grey Delisle only has so many different ways she can voice a character. It's so obvious when it's her voice.
They literally sound nothing alike though, so what’s the issue? Seriously, is everyone forgetting it’s not uncommon for voice actors to have multiple roles in the same show? Animation allows for shit like that, and as long as the voice actors are good there really isn’t an issue. And so far, none of the Invincible voice actors have been remotely bad or mediocre.
It took me a long time to get back on track but it was well worth it. Loved everything about this season. Though they may be rushing a bit to much now? I don't know, didn't expect to see Kate back so early but I'm not complaining. Loved how Rex really got the spotlight. Also love how they are teasing Eve x Mark. Debbie is obviously one of the best characters.
I'm just curious if Rex's voice actor is actually gonna voice older robot. he did it in the finale and it was a little jarring to hear the guy typecast as the dumb jock asshole play an intelligent character for once lmao
@@ScripFing I mean it makes sense, he's a voice actor, a pretty darn well famous one, he'll put on one hell of a good Rudy voice
Idk how the adaption of season 3 is gonna work, but I'm gonna need you to expect some chainsaw man ass pacing. If u don't know what that is, read it, but if you need context basically crazy shit is going to start happening back to back and honestly this season was meant to set a new status quo only to do some crazy shit.
@@ScripFing Well, that was the universe without Mark. So we don't really know what'll happen with Rex/Robot, but if it follows anything like the comics, it sorta makes sense for Rex to take the mantel of Robot.
The Eve/Mark teasing was kind of awkward. Having her future version fly in and insist that he tell her young self that he loves her... that is the weirdest most awkward way to begin a romance. I'm sorry, that kind of sucks the romance right out. I know it ain't gonna happen, but Rex and Eve kinda seem like they'd be the more interesting pair.
Start writing a full review of X-Men ‘97 i love your videos dude
it didn't even feel like it was a full second season. the second half of the hiatus introduced so many new characters and arcs, that it felt a lot was left unresolved.
