The return of Mojo! While this one was good, I can see that the end is near for this series.
[5.0/10[ I gotta be honest. I watched this episode this morning, and I still barely remember it. I tw as that forgettable. I didn’t like the first Mojo episode, so chances are I wasn’t going to like this one either. But man, this whole thing was just boring.
Longshot popping up is fine, I guess. But the writers completely hammer home the fact that Wolverine doesn’t trust him and Jubilee idolizes him. Logan’s mistrust is over the top for no real reason. And Jubilee’s admiration never really goes anywhere.
The gladiator battles hosted by Mojo are stock and dull. It’s the same X-Men vs. Goons fights we’ve seen a million times by now, with nothing but Mojo’s irksome commentary to distinguish them. (I did get a kick out of him calling Spiral a “pile of armpits”, so credit where it’s due.) There’s at least some minor payoff to the random enmity between Wolverine and Longshot when Longshot does the usual hero thing and Logan recognizes his goodness from it. But it’s thin gruel.
Overall, this is a reheated sequel to an already poor episode, with shallow characterizations, and little to show for it beyond revealing a guest character’s backstory. Something tells me we’ll see Longshot and Mojo and Spiral again, but good lord, I’m not looking forward to it.
