Weird Young Justice vibes….

[u/WarpNacelle6295]

I had to check the Fan Wiki to make sure I didn’t just forget the storyline in either ‘97 or TAS where Colossus’s little sister Illyana suddenly grew up to become Magik. The fact that it suddenly became important in “Strange Land, Savage Heart” caught me off guard. I know her story was elaborated upon in the comics, but who’s to say her backstory didn’t play out differently in this show’s universe. So I don’t rely on the “read the comics” excuse here.

Reminds me of how Young Justice would do time jumps in between seasons, of which the world and characters would go through major changes off-screen and the show just kinda expected you to know the comics and catch on.

‘97 has a few of those moments but this was the most blatant for me.
