Family Ties Review and Media By Stu Episode #63 - Family Ties Original Airdate - May 4th, 1996 Magneto is summoned by his dead wife to a reunion, but all is not as it seems Credits Written By: Marley Clark Music Composed By: Shuki Levy Animation Services By: AKOM Review: This is one of those episodes where I found myself confused as to what was going on, and after thinking it through and trying to figure out what just happened, I became ever more lost. I’ve never found The Scarlet Witch to be an interesting character, and Quicksilver’s arrogance was always annoyed me, and personally, I think Magneto was a more interesting character without them here. There are some things I don’t expect to see in an X-Men cartoon, and talking animals is one of them. I understand they were mutations created by The High Evolutionary (who?!) but, was there any need for a talking cow? This episode isn’t especially a bad one, but the majority of it was lost on me, and after a few minutes, I simply lost interest. Screenshots:
