I still cannot believe we got basically canon cherik and then ultimately traumatised Charles.
This episode's consequences will be huge. Charles is most likely feeling useless and weak, because he couldn't really do much during the battle and Erik got hurt and then killed protecting him.
In the first place, they were in the situation because Erik was trying to change the past in a way that would achieve Charles' dream of coexistence and harmony. Charles will never forgive himself that Erik died due to trying to make his dream reality.
And then, on top of it all, he tried to convince Apocalypse to kill him, just for Apocalypse to tell him he's an "ant" ("weak and small") and let him live with the trauma.
I am so ready for Charles to honor Erik with actions. The tears already happened. Now it's time for the action.
Dark times are coming.
And so is Onslaught.
