Spoilers ahead for X-Men '97 Season 2, Episodes 3 and 4: "Rise of Apocalypse." Is Magneto really gone? Sarah and Will break down the latest X-Men '97 episodes, including Apocalypse's tragic origin, the Genosha connection, Magneto and Xavier's philosophical conflict, and the growing consequences of time travel. We also discuss the Kang connection, Rama-Tut, the ethics of changing history, and the emotional fallout of En Sabah Nur's past. Plus, we react to the post-credits scene involving Wolverine, Captain America, Black Widow, and the Weapon X dossier. Was Magneto's fate meant to be permanent, or is Marvel setting up his return?
