About this episode

The episode discusses the first three episodes of the second season of X-Men ‘97, focusing on the handling of multiple timelines and Magneto's confidence in manipulating Apocalypse.

In this episode, we begin our weekly recaps of the second season of the hit Disney Plus original animated series from Marvel Studios titled X Men 97. We discuss whether dealing with multiple timelines in the first three episodes was too much for the start of the season, and we debate whether Magneto became too overconfident in the way he tried to manipulate Apocalypse.
