Survival of the Fittest? Sir, Nobody Here Is Emotionally Fit in X-Men

from The Mid Podcast

GAMBIT IS BACK… but is Remy LeBeau actually free?In my full review of X-Men ’97 Season 2, Episode 8, “The Dead Man’s Hand,” I break down Gambit’s terrifying return as Death, Rogue’s potentially HUGE power change, Apocalypse’s real plan, the Thieves and Assassins Guilds, Bella Donna, Candra, Xavier’s psychic battle, and Nightcrawler apparently deciding that mercy was optional this week.We’re also digging into Easter eggs you may have missed—including the XM-266 Gambit reference—plus the scenes that could completely change the Season 2 finale.And I have one major problem with this episode:WHY IS EVERYBODY IN SUCH A HURRY?!
