Now breaking down the plot, this new series is based on the fact that Professor Charles Xavier is dead and as long as there is discrimination against the mutant race by people, there will always be conflicts.

Clearly when Magneto came to claim the Xmen's mansion (as if it were a widow claiming inheritance), I felt a bad taste in my mouth, because it was shaping the series towards a kind of Mexican soap opera.

I should clarify that in Charles Xavier's will, Magneto gets to keep everything, with the argument that (if I keep my enemy busy with good things, he will become a good guy).

From a certain angle this seemed to me quite absurd, I mean if the theme had been like in the (MegaMind movie), that because he lost his nemesis he feels bored of his existence and wants to try something different, there would be no complaints, but out of nowhere this change of side from (evil genocidal leader drunk with power who despises the human race to now I am a hero who saves people and leader of the xmen...certainly didn't convince me).

Obviously one in his imagination promotes the plot, that is (that everything is a false plan of Magneto to keep everything and rule the world), but well, that's left to the imagination to feed the idea that it can happen in future episodes.

A controversial point in social networks was that after the images of the first episode were leaked, people almost burned the internet because Rogue's physical attributes were diminished...something that is characteristic of the mutant girl being a sex safir character that flirts with men.

The most logical thing is that being Disney they limited the exposure to sexualization, so they reduced Rouge's bust and ass for the sake of the children.

In context, as I watched the weekly episodes, we got into controversy on social networks, some debates on facebook, others on telegram, but each one with a point in favor or against the series.

In my case, when I saw the Master Mold episode in the desert, I questioned the action scenes a lot, I mean, (on the one hand the xmen justify it by saying: we already defeated Sentinel Ents, so it's not a big deal), so it feels like each hero highlights his skills in combat and easily defeats the metal giants.

My radar started to beeping when I noticed that there was no danger plot, that is, no one would get hurt, or at least one character would be unconscious and Beast would have to put us in suspense that he would survive the surgery...so I started to notice the absence of visual violence.

I know this is not the Invincible series, but I felt that they wasted a lot of the wolverine factor, I mean, the least you expect is that they hurt him against the giant robots and he regenerates some part of his body like skin or muscles...but that battle against the master mold seemed like a picnic without anyone getting hurt.

clearly as the episodes progressed it had a lot of exeptisism factor, polemics in networks that by the dismissal of the showrunner Beau DeMayo from the same series for not accepting the laws of political correctness of disney "woke" among other factors that made you lose faith with what was on tv and that this would improve.

They were already putting "woke movement" in the series, that the morph character (who is the one who transforms like a chameleon into any known character), was now gender fluid and that he was sexually attracted to wolverine, started as rumors and then in the series is confirmed.

In a certain event, they explain that Jean Grey married Cyclops and that they fathered a child, giving the plot twist that she was actually a clone and that she was manufactured by Mr Sinister, so in that "plot awakening" things advanced a little in favor of the series and its action.

Unfortunately, instead of making an epic confrontation between the Xmen against Jean's clone controlled by Mr Sinister (called Madelyne Pryor), the situation became simplistic by simply putting a psychic memory between the real Jean and the clone.
And yes we know that the birth of Scoth's child is an event to awaken her from Sinestro's control, but I felt that the fight was wasted by stopping it too quickly in the middle of the climax.

I understand that it's a short series of 8 or 10 episodes, but by not giving space to battles, suspense and the denouement of events, it feels like a quick two cat fight on your roof.

At this point I felt that the series was very Disney Mode like Need Flanders from the simpsons, with little violence, 0 sexuality and little time to animate good fights, so I was already a bit disappointed with the result.

In another episode they explain that Magneto and Rogue are actually lovers, that they have always been and have been since long before she was an xmen.
It was here when it literally made me flip the table with a reaction shot.

In other words, in this new version, they explain that Magneto can never be affected by Rogue's physical touch, and that being the first human she could touch, he deflowered her and made her his lover as soon as she awakened her powers in her adolescence.

I must say that it gave me a bad taste in my mouth to see this on screen, because during the previous classic series the dilemma is that (she had never loved and could not touch anyone without killing him, so she was desperate to love, which made the relationship between Gambit and her iconic ... and the emotional state of Rogue by the loneliness of having those powers without physical human contact with another being).

Something that happens to be contradictory because in the classic series in more than one occasion Rouge touched Magneto and took his powers, so putting this plot twist out of nowhere, simply makes people go into denial with what they saw in the classic series.

Clearly when analyzing the other episode, where the united nations accepted the mutant country of genosha was that I understood something, this was done by the scriptwriter because he was going to kill magneto (so the plot of falling in love and deflowering Rogue is simply as a personal achievement of having intercourse with her). I'm not saying that there is some comic book with an alternate and parallel future where that happened and that there is a child of both, but putting this twist to the classic series feels very forced and out of place.

At this point in the episode an invasion of sentinel robots along with a colossal robot attack the nation of Genosha, wiping out every mutant it inhabits. Logically the confrontation between this colossal giant and Magneto resulted in the death of the arch-villain (something that doesn't even surprise me), although without a doubt the most emotional moment was when Gambit sacrifices himself to self-destruct the giant and die in the act at the hands of his beloved Rouge.

This point in the series, specifically this episode was what gave a twist to what was expected, leaving aside the battles (where everyone wins easily without any injuries) to the good stuff, there are epic moments and casualties in the ranks of the xmen.

Clearly there is a mix of emotions intertwined, between starting the series very regular without any adrenaline and real risk...to finally there is violence and moments of desperation.

Maybe when the series progresses and more seasons are released, we will be able to give a complete opinion of the show (and praying that Disney doesn't force a Woke movement into the show), because the fear is that everything seen will be ruined by leaving iconic characters with an abrupt change of sexuality.

We can only hope that the series flows and adapts as faithfully as possible to its comic book version and that they do not desecrate the work offending millions of fans around the world.

And you, what do you think about this continuation of the xmen?

Hola muy buenas a todos los amantes del anime y de los cómics, la verdad pues ha salido la serie que es continuación de el anterior cartoon de los xmen, añado que al comienzo tenia serias dudas de como lo animarían, pues estamos hablando de Disney y sus polémicas de censura o politicas woke.

Aun así me deje llevar por la curiosidad como seria la serie y pues empece a verla.

Un punto destacable es que mantuvieron el opening clásico de tv que se vio en la anterior serie, con algunos retoques de personajes que reemplazan a otros, pero oir esa iconica melodia simplemente hace que se te erice la piel.
