This time the claws came out between Cyclops and Wolverine, apparently there is no love lost after all. Especially when fronted with Jean Grey’s potential killer, Emma Frost. When did Cyclops get so badass?
This episode largely focused on introducing the last two additions to the x-team rostra, Emma Frost and Hisako Ichiki. First with telepathic Emma Frost, who was splendidly haughty and condescending while adorning the most sluttish teacher outfit in her wardrobe, true Emma Frost fashion. Alas her vocals are as horrendous as the rest of the cast. It was interesting to watch how the opinions of Emma changed after the x-men witnessed her being a good teacher, as if that actually has any bearing on the
Hisako Ichiki steps into the Jubilee/Shadowcat/Rogue juvenile role as her powers not only awaken but also rapidly spiral out of control. It was kinda predictable and a tad cheesy. I also put money on her forming a bond with Wolverine.
With regards to the U-Men, I think I should have stuck to my initial gut reaction – Mister Sinister would have been a much better choice. Essentially the U-Men master plan came down to watching, waiting and then fleeing. When you have a universe as rich and diverse as the x-men’s, you should be able to furnish the anime with memorable villains effortlessly. Like Magneto. The next episode looks like it will be a drag as well, what the anime really needs right now is a good old fashion x-men/brotherhood smack down.
Oh and Beast, you roar like a sissy!
Verdict: Fine
