In our five star review of the episode Michael said “Overall, X-Men ’97 continues to prove that animation is one of the most powerful mediums for epic storytelling. It’s emotionally devastating while maintaining an iron grip on its audience. You simply can’t look away, even if you wanted to. And just when you think it’s over, the episode ends with a post-credits scene that sets up what’s to come in spectacular fashion, leaving you desperate for the next chapter.”
