Maddy and Ryan are witnessing Wolverine and the X-Men go off the rails this week with "X-Calibre," the episode that introduces Nightcrawler and also a ton of other characters who don't need to be there. Somehow, this one episode manages to cram together a storyline about cargo ships mistreating mutants while transporting them to Genosha, plus Nightcrawler acting as a solo vigilante who saves those mutants, while also having flashbacks to his childhood in a version of Germany that looks medieval and also pretty crappy (at least until Professor X shows to "rescue" Kurt by brainwashing the whole town). That sounds like enough content to merit an entire episode, doesn't it? Oh, just you wait, because this episode is actually about the Mojoverse! Yeah. Yeah, we don't know either.
Next week's episode: "Wolverine vs. Hulk," Wolverine and the X-Men
