Incredible what this animation team were able to fit in one 30 min episode about a team of genetic outsiders. Not just retro style but bringing more subtleties of expression and emotional depth. Action without losing exploration of character and bonds in such an economy of space. There were allusions to so many storylines as well as foreshadowing of many more. Amazed how they were also able to show visually not just tell with words the complexity of the relational history between members as well as deep concepts of human relations (timely to even current events). This is the best of what has made the x-men story shine over generations.
