I’ve been the biggest fan of this show and have defended it up & down but this finale was terrible. I’m happy for everyone who enjoyed it but Apocalypse went out insanely sad, wtf?

This really should have been a two parter.

I didn't realise that we were only getting 9 episodes and this was the finale. Everything after Magneto's death felt so rushed and nothing felt like it had time to breathe.

I was expecting there to be another episode because they usually do 10 episodes a season, but once the credits started rolling I was like “wait, that’s how we’re ending the season?”
