X-Men '97 Season 2 Finale Review: Survival of the Fittest Squanders Apocalypse

X-Men '97 Season 2 concludes with "Survival of the Fittest," an episode that delivers spectacular mutant-on-mutant action but fumbles the season's primary villain. The finale's brief Apocalypse confrontation feels anticlimactic compared to the original series' "Beyond Good and Evil" arc, while Nightcrawler's sacrifice provides the episode's only genuine emotional payoff.
