So, I describe you the context: In Season 2 Episode 2 we see Emma Frost on a party with two boys and they're going to a "more private place". The attitude between the three of them is clearly that they are going to hook up on Emma's room. The thing is the two boys are two of the Hellions, who are MINORS and Emma' STUDENTS. And the situation is played for laughs, like "Emma is so excentric". X-Force appear later and nobody make or say nothing about that situation being clearly wrong.

I am an adult and can understand that a fictional character can do nasty stuff, but the problem here is that is presented as something normal, just an eccentricity of a rich person, like having a diamond toilet or a jaguar as pet.

Later, we see Emma has been trafficking mutants with the USA Government to save herself. Amogn those mutants are kids, including the Cuckoos, Emma's daugthers. Were they implying that Emma trafficked her own daugthers?

This plus the relationship between Magneto and Rogue is making the show having some fucked up undertones.

At this point all of you know that second season has released and all the shill media is saying that is the best thing ever as always. Here's a resume of the three first episodes if you had any interest on it:

First, the Beau DeMayo' special (more about Beau at the end of the post) continues at full force: All the plots are light-speed paced (even more than fisrt season), plots that should be entire episodes here are one scene if that, absolutely nothing has space to breath, characters don't have opinions or reactions about anything that happens, they just move the plot forward and forward to the point that anyhting means anything. There are some characters' decissions or change of heart that are not explained at all. Everything happens just because to reach the next plot point and the next one.

But not all the bad writing is there, one of my favorite scenes is when Mother Askani reveals her identiy (I'm not going to make spoiler in case you still want to watch it, but if you know the characters you know who Mother Askani is) "Ororo, it's ME", and it's a character that hasn't appeared on the series before lol How do you a reveal scene where the reveal doesn't mean anything to the audience? And Storm with face of "ok, whatever".

Also, the mischaracterization continues: Jubilee continues stealing roles from Kitty and Boom-Boom, Sunspot is only Sunspot in name, Emma Frost, Lorna flip-flopping, Rhane is a no-entity, Quentin, Monet/Penance (this is specially insulting to the character)...

The series also break the continuity because of course. Characters havign powers they shouldn't. And of course Morph continues not adding ANYTHING to the series, just a supposed "comic relief" that is completely unfunny.

The DEI replacements: Betsy Braddock, Psyloke, doesn't exists on this series, she has been completely erased and replaced by a POC character (I don't think it's said on the show yet, but the marketing confirms is Kwannon) and we have to accept it and like it.

TL;DR: The series is convoluted mess, the plots are paper thin deep and absolutely incomprehensible at the same time, absolutely no time for characters, personalities and powers changing at every minute. In resume, it's the exact experience you have reading X-Force on the 90s, so congrats for that faithful adaptation.

About Beau DeMayo, he doesn't appear as EP on the first episode, but he appears on the rest. Some months before the release of the second season he dleeted his X account and stopped talking about the series. It's obvious that some deal behind the scenes has happened to re-hire him.

This is the thread to talk with spoilers. Next week when the next episode releases, this set is free game and the new episode will have its spoiler thread and so on.

Kevin [Feige] just wants to take a big swing and start anew, not be beholden to any of the movies that have come before. And Jake Schreier has such a clear vision in terms of wanting to get back to character first, and to what is exciting about those early [Chris] Claremont-run comics, which was all about team dynamics. There were a lot of soapy elements to those comics. We’ve been in the room every day together. Kevin and Louis [D’Esposito] are so dialed in, and they have such incredible instincts that it’s been fun to just blue-sky.
