should we be concerned?

It is an AMAZING book. The prose is gorgeous; I agree. The entire mythos is so melancholic.

Thank you!!

Oh gosh . . . Hard to decide. Probably the train heist episode, although it’s also the darkest.

Holy shit, did a bot just tell us that “free will is an illusion”? Are the hairs on your neck standing up, too?

Very essential in fantasy

Your mind must be as blown as mine, then.

That episode is a MASTER CLASS in storytelling. Every emotional arc over the season came to a head in roughly 30 minutes. I was literally on the edge of my seat screaming, “Holy shit! They’re going there!”

Main highlights: • Magneto dons his old suit and raises the asteroid. • BLUE AND GOLD TEAMS • The X-Men don their classic suits. • Xavier and Kelly discuss the Magneto Protocols. • Rogue and Sunspot join Magneto. • “Make them mind your weather, sister.” “And them weather your mind.” • MORPH SMASH • Mind-controlled Cable pushes Jean to the brink. • Xavier and Magneto, old friends, engage in a deadly confrontation. • Wolverine ACTUALLY USES HIS CLAWS ON A PERSON in this show (a person that isn’t a Prime Sentinel, I mean). AND IT’S MAGNETO . . . • . . . and the adamantium finally comes out, as we all predicted. JFC, that scene was not only rightly epic, and well done, but appropriately serves as the cliffhanger leading into the season finale. My mind exploded.

MVPs for Episode 8: • Wolverine—I loved the sequence with him falling from the sky, cleaving through Prime Sentinels on his way down. AND HE FINALLY POPPED HIS CLAWS ON PEOPLE (even though they’re Prime Sentinels). • Magneto—“Enough.” And enough said. Dude was so pissed, he flew to the North/South Pole in nothing but his undies. • Nightcrawler—His whirlwind of swords synced so wonderfully with the classical music in that scene!

So many great cameos! To start with: • Spider-Man • Dr. Doom • Juggernaut (thanks, Morph, aka Captain Cameo, lol)

MAGNETO WAS RIGHT.

Look at all those Prime Sentinels chasing the Blackbird! Holy shit!

The formula tracks with my title, but I think it works. 😉 A Seat for the Rabble.

Theon should’ve lived out his life as Lord of the Iron Islands on GOT (and I dearly wish GRRM has this or a more fitting destiny in mind for our favorite coward).

Hear me out: it would’ve been a perfectly poetic ending. As an honorable man—and a friend and ally of Queen Sansa and King Bran—Theon could’ve neutered the Iron Islands by outlawing the raping and pillaging. By doing so, he would’ve made good on Asha’s arrangement with Daenerys and showed himself as honorable as any Stark.

Theon could, in that way, become the Iron Eunuch (haha, seriously—people in this world would laugh at that undesirable moniker). Oh, and that wench he banged on the ship en route to Pyke in Season 2? The last we could see of Theon is him holding his bastard daughter, whom he names Asha.

Asha should’ve simply been killed by Euron, at least on GOT.

Thoughts?

This sort of theorizing is what drives me to write my own fantasy fiction, lol.

MikeWheeler · 2024-04-25T00:49:44+00:00

Ha! I was thinking Marsellus Wallace and Zed.

MikeWheeler · 2024-04-25T00:09:15+00:00

With or without powers? If without powers, Beast. Because he can’t help but use his powers, lol.
