The episode fools you with the love triangle and uber happy vibes and then (trying not to spoil it) brings on the most impressive ten minutes I've ever seen in a superhero cartoon. A great message came out of Gambit and Rogue's conversation. Never seen Gambit like this and it was incredibly impressive. Cyclops, Jean, Rogue, Magneto are now more multi-faceted than they've ever been. In the original X-men cartoon Wolverine was far and away the most fleshed out. With the new show, I am not so sure anymore. The other characters are now very strong and more than capable of carrying an episode. And carrying it well.

Do yourself a favor and watch this episode without any distractions.

Perhaps the most historical x-men animated series episode, this one has all. All that lacked at the old itineration and all the new stuff around lately is right inside the core of this episode.

It has granted the emmy for best animated series for them.

I can bet as big as gambit for this one.

Simply marvelous, dramatic, cruel, brutal and yet light hearted. This is an incredible and definite shot to more mature audiences.

There's more than simple symbolism in this one.

I am astonished this moment for how far they got here, deepening relations, showing expected (or not so expected) moments, there's mystery, brutality, almost impossible fights and unexpected heroic moments.

Outstanding script and very much inspired.

It is certainly their best ep yet.

Just wow. This is unquestionably the standout episode of the season. I've enjoyed this series thus far, but "Remember It" was next level. I was speechless by the time the credits rolled.

If the animated series is going to be this good, I don't even mind if Marvel Studios doesn't give us live-action versions. But whenever they do, this is what MCU X-Men stories need to strive for.

In 30 minutes they were able to include super-meaningful story beats for Jean, Cyclops, Wolverine, Madelyne, Magneto, Rogue, and Gambit *plus* the return of Nightcrawler, Emma Frost and Sebastian Shaw, an enigmatic Cable cameo, along with a feast of easter eggs and subtle references for readers of the comics (Krakoan Age & Hellfire Gala vibes, kinda? IFYKYK. 😄)

I had to check if this episode had a longer runtime than the previous ones this season because it felt like there were so many key things that we saw here. The pacing was excellent. Not a single wasted moment, imo.

In terms of the overall story it was always reasonable to expect that some sort of major world-shaking crisis would threaten Genosha and just before it joined the UN, We certainly got that here, and it did not disappoint. What was unexpected and what made this episode truly great, though, was how incredibly good the build-up to that crisis was.

This episode foregrounded all of the emotional tensions between Jean and Scott and between Rogue, Magneto, and Gambit that had gradually been building up this season--in parallel with Magneto's main arc of fulfilling Professor X's dream in the face of every looming challenge.

So basically, in "Remember It", the writers were like, "sure, let's bet the farm: let's put the major high-emotional-stakes arcs of the show in the spotlight...all at once."

Pushing those individual character dynamics to their crisis points while introducing big existential threats is risky because it's asking the audience to care about so much at the same time.

Everything needs to balance and all the characters' stakes need to relate for it to work.

If it does, the audience gets an giant-sized experience that they really care about. If not, the audience is left scratching their heads, feeling like the show was trying to do too much all at once.

It definitely a bet the show could have lost if they didn't get the storytelling right. Thankfully, this really does feel like they managed to pull it off.

This was one heck of an episode, and probably will go down as one of the all-time best in this series.

Oh my God. The way I laughed, cried and gasped in shock in this episode! As a fan of the original 90's animated series, this episode delivered the goods way beyond my expectations! The soap opera drama between Rogue / Gambit / Magneto set with the backdrop of a devastating attack, really nailed the emotional impact. Can't believe I have to wait another week for this, just like in the old days! Last week's episode was one of the weaker ones but this really brought things home with some continuation on the Jean/Scott storyline and developing these characters. I'm so thankful to be alive to experience this revival!

It was one of the most impressive cartoon episodes of any show I have ever seen. Not since EndGame did any piece of Marvel entertainment pull at your heart strings so intensely. Wow just wow! I am literally in a daze of amazement with how good this new show is. Incredible character development, great cinematography, it looks like the old show but is new and fresh and is updated.

I use to watch this show as a kid and wasn't sure if this was going to be any good, quite a few marvel productions haven't been very good as of late, yet this show keeps knocking it out of the park. If they do anymore live action X-Men films, these writers, directors and producers need to be involved for sure.

This is it. They've done it. They've brought back quality writing and production to Marvel. I could watch episodes of this caliber for years. Take my money. Just astonishing!

This episode gives a flood of emotions that rivals infinity war. I didn't think it was possible to reach that height again. I don't know if you need to be a fan to appreciate the depths of this episode, but if you are a fan, this will hit every emotion you would want in a well written piece of art. I watched it again and again and will never be the same when it comes to defining greatness. This is not hype, this is kudos to amazing writing and design. Top five Marvel content all time. Period.

Perfect episode. So dark, so unfair. So good! I bet everyone will remember it for years to come. Heartbreaking.

You'd think that the X-Men finally had some good news their way, but not this time. I don't want to give any spoilers away, but I think Gambit has one of the best moments ever displayed in this episode.

The group is split in two, part of it goes to Genosha, the rest stayed at the mansion. You have somewhat 2 parallel stories going on here. Lots and lots of cameos, and lots of great moments.

Can't wait to see what's next. Too bad we have to wait 1 week. Will definitely rewatch this.

Hard to explain the mix of feelings I have after watching this episode, I am super happy for the oportunity to see a masterpiece but also sad for all that happened. This is really what you expect after seen a great animated series, touch of you heart and mix of emotions. Similar feeling of when I used to watch Game of Thrones and what you used to expect for a season finale, the animation, the music, the plot and everything was top, 10 of 10 for sure, best of old series and new animation. Thanks MCU to give us the opportunity to enjoy Xmen in their full potential. I can't not wait for what's coming in next episodes!!!

I'm not one to write reviews but this episode just left me speechless. Perfect in every sense, action, drama, animation is top notch. Story just made the time fly. This episode will be remembered as one of the best tv animation half hours. It's that good.

The juggling of the X-Men is superb not failing to include a moment with almost all of them. This kind of awesome writing reminded me of infinity war or endgame. So many characters and we feel close to every single one of them.

If anyone has any doubts that this revival would be as good as the original, rest assured, it is! Happy to see Marvel at it's best once more.

Where is the thread to this series? Let alone this episode?! A strong finish, but how did we get here?! Maybe I'm not steeped enough in the lore or backstory but I have felt very behind in the series and even more so in this episode. There's been a disjointedness to it all that I've been willing to overlook because I do think the show is provocative but I'm struggling with it. I grew up with this show, yet I feel very left behind. And especially so WITHIN this episode. It just feels like there are so many jumps, like it's covering a dozen stories in 20 minutes and I'm left lost.

Maybe I'm the only one.

Just an absolute banger of an episode.

The drama of the show was dialed up to 100. Relationships. Choices. Emotion. Heartbreak. All of it culminates in a tragedy that hasn't been felt in TV since Game of thrones.

This show is way better than any of us deserve and deserves to already be worthy of any awards it may receive in awards seasons.

Please get people to watch this show.

This episode anchored the show as some of the best television we have gotten in the last few years.

To think this show may go further and bolder makes we want to stick with it forever. Please tell more people about this.

WOW... JUST WOW! How did this happen? Why is this some of THE BEST Marvel content i have ever seen? Why was 30min of an animated superhero show better than most live-action superhero content? I don't know.. but it is!

This was the definition of an emotional rollercoaster as I could feel everything all in the span of minuttes! I was not prepared for this, and I want recover just now!

Out of nowhere the atmosphere changes, like a sudden explosion of despair! Everything is just great.. until it isn't! The animation was next level and honestly cinematic! If this was just episode 5, I am honestly scared of what might happen from this point on! I am not ready for this show to crush my soul!

This was PEAK animated superhero cartoon, PEAK X-men and PEAK Marvel!

All reviews posted so far are accurate in the description of this episode. This is in my view the absolute peak of animated episodic content ever developed - unbelievably powerfully scripted and delivered. The ending is so shocking, and ultimately beautifully put together. Amazing work by all involved, especially Lenore Zenn, Matthew Waterson and A. J. LoCascio as such masterful voice actors. As a fan of the original series I was looking forward to this season immensely, and it has surpassed all my expectations in ways I wouldn't have thought possible. Thanks to all involved and I can't wait to see what follows in the rest of the season.

I don't know what more to say than I wish I could give it an 11. It builds you up and then drops you like a psychopath at a cliffs edge in the best way possible. I'm almost positive that I know who the main antagonist is, as it could follow a very good storyline. Genosha essentially standing in for Krakoa as this is a very modern story, I think they did it extremely well for those who don't regularly read the books. To see the love triangle go absolutely beast mode was a genuine pleasure, and man, they did NOT disappoint.

All I can say is thanks too everyone involved, you created a piece of art. Emmy noms all day.

I was already deeply impressed with the way the show handled the complicated love triangle relationships of Cyclops-Madelyn-Jean-Wolverine, and Gambit-Rogue-Magneto, to the point where I could actually feel the ache shown by Wolverine and Gambit in their scenes.

Then the episode throws us a emotional heavy curveball that blew me away. Powerful, emotionally charged scene, one after another. This episode is reminiscent of Avengers: Infinity War, but it does what that movie could not do for me: capture the raw emotion and high stakes.

I'm so glad X-Men 97 isn't just a capitalisation on nostalgia, but actually an incredibly well written series.

Side note though: This episode makes it clear that this series isn't quite meant for the kids!

I had to log in here just to say how much this episode affected me. An episode full of emotions, fights, romances. It left me angry, happy, disgusted, sad and ultimately heartbroken.

I still haven't been able to digest this episode and it's already late at night and I need to sleep. (and I just can't, still feeling it all)

I guess I have to write more 237 characters to submit this comment. Ok.

I just loved this show. I never read. I've never read a single Xmen comic, I've always been a fan of the films but that doesn't matter because art was made here, anyone will love watching this series.

Brilliant brilliant and brilliant. Such a moving episode. I almost knew what could come during the episode and I still couldn't pick my jaw up off the floor. The writers should receive all the praise and shows what can be done with "childrens" animation shows. It shows that the people who took the time and effort to make this episode what it is, are those kids that grew up reading and watching these comics.

My favourite characters from my childhood did exactly what I would expect them to do from paper to screen. This is just throw this show to another level that I never expected to see and long may it continue.
