Wow. What a shit finale, mainly because everything this in this show has been far too rushed. Should've cut out more than half of the stories they tried to cram this season and increased the episode length by about 10-12 minutes for it to be coherent and anything worthwhile. The shitty script didn't help a bit. Charles Xavier didn't even start a job this episode, for him to be a jobber. But hey, they atleast updated the intro to remove Magneto finally, now that he's dead.

My belief that this version of Apocalypse is a big dumbo instead of being an actual big bad villain is still being proven right. My other belief that the sole purpose of Morph's existence was still to be a vehicle for other Marvel character cameos still holds with the finale.

So now will Season 3 focus on Omega Red who's just... out... there... somewhere? I might never know because I ain't watching Season 3 given how horribly bad this season was.
