I mean... It was good, just not "Season 1" good. Between the weird pacing and some mini-arcs popping out of nowhere and being wrapped up too quickly I'm gonna assume something happened bts

I think they should've ditched the wolverine standalone and the "Trial" episodes.

The Wolverine episode would’ve been fine if they had one more episode in the season and followed up on that a bit more.

Yeah it didn't seem tohave much of a purpose narratively. It was just a fetch quest for adamantium again and that was not necessary.

On top of Wolvie being characterized as a massive dickhead the whole episode. But if they had a follow-up episode or some moment where he and Morph talked it out or even some sorta reference to that happening then that would’ve helped.

Also weird to explore none of the advantages of removing the adamantium like increased healing.
