Review:
These episodes return the X-Men to the Savage Land and give us the first Storm spotlight in a good long while. Now,
it’s been said since the show started that the majority of Storm spotlight episodes suck, and unfortunately, moving it
to the usually interesting Savage Land didn’t help, in fact, it made it even worse.
The whole Savage Land story completely dominated the episode, and to be honest, it was sheer nonsense from start to
finish. There was a few good pieces in here, Rouge and Storm’s relationship got some nice development, and Sauron proved
to be a lot more interesting this time around, but it was all underplayed to develop the threat of some rock in the ground.
It also had a cringe worthy moment from Jubilee. “If Jubilee of the jungle can take down Sauron, she can take down Storm”…
Good Lord.
The episodes themselves weren’t absolutely terrible; they were just incredibly tedious to sit through. A short review
for an episode short on entertainment.
