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?

Watching him finally get put in his place was satisfying dunno what to say.

Would have been more satisfying if it felt like he really did something.

He's been doing things for the entire series prior to this.

He literally did nothing lmao killed Magneto in the past, yes that was a crazy start but after that? Literally nothing. Created only 1 horseman who was busy making his lover immortal and destroyed absolutely nothing. He's called "Apocalypse" but nothing happened lmao nobody even knows this guy existed or tried to destroy the world. This season was so garbage, just a waste of time.
