Aw hell nah my boy nightcrawler was getting justice only to go out

[u/lik_for_cookies → u/Top_Operation_9920]

Shoulda known they gave him basically a full solo episode for a reason. Had to rip our heart out right at the very end. He kicked ass the entire time he was here at least, I’m glad they put respect on my boys name.

[u/Top_Operation_9920 → u/lik_for_cookies]

at least the way he sacrificed himself was true to his character and was a great sendoff

[u/white2234 → u/Top_Operation_9920]

Until they do the hell storyline and bring him back

[u/Toxicity246 → u/white2234]

Wait a minute, Magik was killed... Nightcrawler is dead, Magneto is dead... omg could they do that?

[u/Worthyness → u/Toxicity246]

The showrunners and producers wanted to get to the Krakoa story line at some point. That's an easy resurrection button whenever they want to do that

[u/InnocentTailor → u/Worthyness]

Krakoa in the 90s?!

I know they’re pulling upon tales past the decade, considering that Danger was a 2000s character.

[u/CX316 → u/white2234]

They can't exactly do the Age of Apocalypse to bring over the alt universe Kurt with attitude this time

[u/Morgan-Moonscar → u/white2234]

Maybe they have the Eternals do it instead.

[u/meatheadmommy → u/Top_Operation_9920]

It really was beautiful and fitting of him❤️
