About this episode

The episode discusses the motivations of Magneto and Professor X in the context of the X-Men animated series.

In this episode, we continue our weekly recaps of the second season of the hit Disney Plus original animated series from Marvel Studios titled X Men 97. We discuss why Magneto was so determined to recruit En Sabah Nur to join the X Men instead of listening to Professor X, and we debate whether Professor X is truly a good leader for the mutant race.
