MAYBE NOT THE BEST X-MEN EPISODE OF ALL, BUT... _______ _______ _______

A lot can be said and a lot of different kind of plots are found within the X-Men adventures, from Detective plots to Outer Space to Time Travel to just another tale of someone defining who he is. X-Ternally yours not only makes reference to the character of the X-Ternal; being very similar to the way in which many people finish a letter in English language results very appropriate to be partially an ORIGIN episode for one of the most elegant X-Men as it is an elegant title (IMO). Talking about my favorite X-Men, Cyclops and Jean Grey (or Scott and Jean) are normally my favorite but focusing in the character whose origin is partially depicted in this episode, I share with many other fans that this character potentially became one of my favorite X-Men almost within the first five or ten minutes of watching the TV or reading a comic with him included (in this case it was in the TV show), and he has remained in my TOP TEN since. With a lot of style within his dialogues and if you add that somehow his heart always seems to be broken for one reason or another, you have a character that can participate in many different kinds of plots.

Talking about the episode, everyone has his favorite, but, besides being a really good episode I think it is a good story to show to someone new to the series as it has a story that initiates and concludes within that single chapter and it is a good example of how complex and interesting the X-Men plots can be...And talking about the leading character of this episode we just spoke...you already know who he is. Right?

Thanks for reading.

Gambit gets a backstory

[robinhio84_ · 9/10 · 31 July 2022]

Standalone story about Gambit and his slight toxic ex. It's interesting and entertaining. The lore at the time of the episode was created, but didn't appear in the comics yet. So some of the design are original to the animated series. In the comics the Xterna appeared as a sexy blond lady with long hear and a red outfit. Also the character in the thumbnail here had the same voice as Storm which is kinda weird.

But the story itself was interesting. Something different.

What the hell did I just watch?

[roger_cigarre-95765 · 3/10 · 17 May 2024]

Absolutely incomprehensible. Two separate cults worship the same being called the X-Ternal and have to regularly offer it a tithe because reasons The nature of the being is never explained and neither is the difference between the two cults. A thieves guild and an assassins guild? What is this, an Elder Scrolls game? Gambit has to return to his home swamps to save his brother and is forced to marry a woman from his past. The already convoluted story is made even harder to follow by the fact that everyone speaks with an absolutely horrible fake European accent. Rogue and Bella Donna have a catfight over who gets to stay with Gambit. A very weird and confusing episode.
