"Tolerance Is Extinction Part 3," X-Men '97

The Mutant Ages

Maddy and Ryan settle in for the somewhat anticlimactic ending to X-Men '97, featuring a confusing death scene for Bastion and a lot of leftover questions about what exactly was going on. Magneto's earth-destroying plan from "Part 2" remains unexplained, although his storyline with Xavier is the strongest (and creepiest) part of this finale. The best part of the episode is its ending, which sets up a promising start for season two, although we aren't sure how excited to feel given the whirlwind of season one. If only this show weren't in such a rush and spent more time on its characters' motivations, because the character drama was always its strongest element. Next episode: We're not sure! Either a wrap-up episode or Listener Mail depending on what we feel up for doing next. E-mail us your feedback at [e-mail] or follow us on social media at TheMutantAges, MIDImyers and RyanPagella.
