The Big Picture No matter which side you prefer in the great X-Men relationship debate of 2024, all can agree on one point: the drama's been delicious. Heart-shattering, too, but let's avoid that aspect — for now. X-Men '97 canonizes the comics' recurring love triangle between Rogue , her beloved Gambit , and her sometimes beloved Magneto , and the controversial move benefits the series' emotional stakes. Just as importantly, the situation benefits Rogue.
X-Men '97 might winkingly reference the Claremont-Lee Savage Land arc, but when it comes to brass romantic tacks, it breaks with tradition. Rogue and Magneto's feelings in the comics are never unreal or lacking complexity. Still, '97 Episode 5 gives the sort-of star-crossed paramours a fully developed love story. The flashback depicts Magneto helping Rogue comprehend her powers and learn more about the mutant world.
Everyone save Erik, who saunters in giving body like no tomorrow and dropping bars like, "I won't deny my passion for you. As with Gambit, loving you makes broken men whole, so that even as you deny us, our heartache is not in vain." As soon as Rogue arrives at Episode 5's gala all Cinderella-at-the-ball style, Magneto practically throws his drink at Sebastian Shaw in his eagerness to get to her. His reaction defines the "no one else in the room exists" trope.
