This week on XXL Men, we’re jumping headfirst into time travel nonsense, mutant plague panic, Apocalypse being dramatic as hell, and Cable discovering that saving the future sometimes means making the present significantly more confusing.
We’re covering “Time Fugitives” Part 1 and Part 2, where Bishop returns from the future to stop a plague that will help fuel mutant hatred, only for Cable to show up from an even farther future because Bishop’s good deed is accidentally deleting Cable’s entire timeline. So naturally, the solution involves multiple time travelers, Apocalypse playing 4D chess in shoulder pads, Wolverine’s immune system doing medical miracles, and everyone yelling about the future like it’s a group project nobody studied for.
Join us as we discuss:
🧬 Bishop trying to stop a plague before it turns the world even more anti-mutant
⏰ Cable showing up from 3999 because apparently one dystopian future was not enough
🦾 Apocalypse manipulating everybody because subtlety is for people without giant blue lips
🐺 Wolverine becoming a walking pharmaceutical breakthrough
🧪 Beast doing science while everyone else does panic
🔥 Graydon Creed and the Friends of Humanity being exactly as awful as expected
📺 The show casually turning a Saturday morning cartoon into a story about disease, propaganda, terrorism, and timeline collapse
And, of course, we ask the important question: how many different terrible futures can this show create before someone finally invests in better time-travel paperwork?
If you love X-Men: The Animated Series, 90s cartoon melodrama, Cable being extremely Cable, Bishop being extremely Bishop, and Apocalypse treating every room like he’s auditioning for mutant Shakespeare, this episode is for you.
