I thought of watching the OG series before watching the new one, but then I realized whenever I felt like reading X-Men I always just had to pick from whatever point it currently was and work from there, so...
Three episodes in and... why does every episode feel like an entire season crammed into 30 minutes? No kidding, I really think any of these first 3 episodes could easily be expanded into an entire season, every development (be it plot of character) seems so absurdly rushed, that I don't think there was one single scene I enjoyed so far (in fact, I feel like it is almost reaching the point I will start being entertained by how bad it is).
I really thought I was going to love the hell out of this, but so far Beast's overly convoluted manner of speaking and Morph being used for sheer fanservice cameos (including a surprise Magik) are the only good things.
