Excelent farewell and love letter to the 20th Century Fox Studios. This move honors X-Men, and traditional superhero films pre Marvel Era in the funniest way, but never punching down to those who came before Deadpool or the MCU. This movie is somehow more bloody and visceral than the other deadpool movies and for the first time it is 100% confirmed Deadpool is indeed bisexual in every scene. This is not like in Loki where the titular character was bisexual for a total of 10 seconds. If you can believe it, Disney is allowing Ryan Reynolds to do stuff they have never dared before and going into a harder R than the old 20th Century Fox ever did. 100% recommended. Especially if you love the X-Men and Superheroes Movies as a whole.

This not only a faithful continuation of the original, it also has stunning animation and incredibly poignant script. I was hanging on every word said by Magneto in Episode 2. Storm has one of the best moments ever in any X-Men media when she fights the Centinels, showing ahe is a force of nature like no other. Finally we got justice for Scott after he was sidelined by the movies. The guy is not only a leader but an incredible fighter, a bit cocky too. I'd did not feel the lack of Xavier even a little bit because even though he is dead, his presence permeates every scene and decision made both by the X-men and by Magneto, just like he said in the final episode of the original show. The X-Men are back and better than ever.

An excellent adaptation. Using very clever adaptations and reworking to make a leaner fat free story, not only keeping the messages and themes of the original, but adding many new scenes that flesh out characters and motivations. Azula is in this first season and her inclusion is very subtle and clever, not only adding to her eventual promotion to main antagonist, if season 2 ever comes, but fleshing out her involvement behind the scenes during the first season, particularly in relation to Zhao. Other stuff like where does Zuko's crew come from are excellent additions to the lore.
