Motendo/Lifedeath - Part 1

Maybe the worst episode of a Marvel show ever. Need a much better plot line to follow than Jubilee in a video game and Storm with a big owl/love story. This episode was boring, the villains were ridiculous and the heroes were not much fun either. The first three episodes were ok with some notable exceptions like Gambit's hair or having 2 Jean Gray's. There is so much to explore with the X-Men let's not jumble it up with stupid villains and moronic plot lines. The people who watched the show in the 90's would appreciate a little growth. I'm finally starting to worry about my man, Fiege allowing this low of quality to be shown.

Ok I understand some people mot liking this but hear me out. Jubilee was and has always been in the animated series as a somewhat conduit for the 90s of the kids who watched the show but recently I see her differently bc as any person who wouldn't want to go back to better times when it made sense, but seeing her realize she can move forward and then finally start not holding back feelings for a boy. It's natural for people to want to not embrace change so you can't fault her for not liking the changes she's dealing with. For the next episode with Storm, I really feel for her because when she lost her powers, she lost a part of herself that made her feel special. I thought Forge was in his own way trying to help to relieve his guilt and want so much to show Storm there's more to life than being an X-Man. When you're used to fighting for so long, the thought of normal would scare anyone. But that's just opinion. Take it as you will.

Pure cheese and not good cheese.

It's split into two segments.

1) Jubillee Birthday in Mojo world.

2) Storm and Forge in the country.

Both parts are lame.

Jubillees episode at least looks cool and has some not so subtle easter eggs splattered through out. But it's just a weak as piss story, about characters no one really cares for.

Storms episode a bad atempt at a romance failure. Neither Storm or Forge are cast in their best light. Boring snooze fest.

These were the crapppy pointless fillers that I didn't like as a kid, and still don't like now.

There is sure to be few who like this episode. But most won't.

The writing in this episode is a sharp contrast from the previous episodes. It wasn't quite there.

I really hate that kind of Saturday morning cartoon 2 parts format. X-Men didn't have nor need that, that's why it stood out. Plus, Jubilee never actually says she doesn't want to grow up and yet that's the message? By the time we get to the real episode you don't get a chance to get invested.

The animation is top notch as it has been and I enjoyed the callbacks to the X-Men arcade and Genesis game. Plus, Jubilee finally gets a chance to show off the skills she has developed since she joined the X-Men juxtaposed to Roberto's inexperience.

Storm's episode... felt waaaay too rushed for a moment it seemed they would wrap it up without any conflict.

It was disappointing to say the least.

The past episodes were great. What happened?

It is waste of time to put a filler in 10 episode show. Better to keep the main story to go forward instead to waste in some alt story.

If you want to make a fillers in such project just make a special with random events, stories for every single hero/heroin don't waste the view's time with some kind alt-bad story.

The whole episode could be better if was only about the Storm and how to recover her abilities that could be a way better way to do.

I really hope for the future they will avoid to put fillers because that is bad taste, it is showing to us they don't know what to do to, they don't have a plan for 10 episode so the best thing they knew to do is fillers!
