Most recent episode was also fantastic.
Only thing I’m not loving about this show is Morph. He’s just kind of….there? His purpose seems to be a way to sneak in a bunch of cameos and that’s about it. Wish they’d give him something to do besides become other people in a fight and then get punched.
I don't mind Morph being there for quips and visual cameos. They're probably going to have a bigger story next season, but it's nice to have them on the team regardless, and they're a nice foil to Logan's gruff and stern demeanor. I really like the dynamic they have with Wolverine so I hope they continue to show up in the series in the future.
The last few episodes have been great. Honestly, even some of the more filler-y parts of the series so far still feel important for character growth and development. There's also a LOT of attention to detail within each of these episodes, from the changing intro week to week, to insane callbacks to the original series and various comics over the past 60 years. This is how you produce a series that knows its core audience, knows comics, and treats both with respect and admiration while providing new twists to stories we've already seen on pages and screens. If there's a sect of comic book fans who dislike this series, for what it's done to certain characters or plots (i.e. Morph having they/them pronouns, minor retcons to Cable's backstory, etc.), they're a VERY small group of "fans" and all seem to be drowned out by the nearly unanimous praise this series has gotten.
It's wild to me that, in a year with very little MCU-616 stuff going on, the two biggest Marvel productions are X-Men 97 and Deadpool & Wolverine. It may have taken Disney/Marvel a few years but getting those properties back from Fox is finally paying off.
