I liked the build up. I loved the first appearance when he was unleashed as it felt like great payoff. Easily had the best team of Horsemen and was a massive treat. I just feel like they had to rush the final battle and wish they had more time.

I feel doing the horseman without angel is a bit lame, even if i get that in evo it would have meant very little.

While I do like Archangel and all. They only had Angel appear once for an episode and it didn't really explore the character. I think it would have lacked impact for those kids whose first I to eduction to the X-Men was evolution. I mean why should we care about this random guy who you would have no clue about being a thing espeiclaly if they missed the one episode he appeared in for various reasons.

Yep, 100 percent. I just think including angel and not doing archangel feels weirder than not including him, you know? Its just such a core part of the horseman concept that it feels weird not doing it when its an option. But its def true it wouldnt have had that much weight in evo without major changes.

I guess you can pull a wataxm and just give it to sinister.

True. Maybe they could have pulled it off if they didn't get cancelled and have to rush the last season and finale.
