So, I know I planned on writing something interesting today, but I kind of got carried away with playing Puzzle Quest during the day and watching X-Men for the last few hours.
I think I watched the first seven episodes of X-Men season three.
Which was phenomenal. Seriously. Live-action series are rarely as good as this was. The Phoenix Saga, a five-episode non-stop story arc, pretty much blew my mind.
I'm not above saying that its conclusion demanded I fight back tears. Despite my experience with Full Metal Alchemist (probably the greatest televised series I've ever seen) and Naruto (which isn't quite the greatest but still has a special place in my heart), being emotionally impacted by a television show, especially by an animated series, just leaves me awestruck.
This X-Men series is too good. It definitely has its moments of cheesiness. People who can't stand how 90s it is (here's looking at you, Riley) need not apply. But the show just... wow.
I'll try again to write something tomorrow that isn't dripping in nerdiness.
"Try" being the key word.
