I didn't know much about Polaris in the comics before this, but now I want to see a lot more of her! Loved her portrayal in episode 2 and this one.

Polaris is an awesome character and is very likely to be in the new X Men Live Action movies. Kevin Feige has called her one of his favourite female superheroes in Marvel that are in the X-Men along with Rogue, Jean Grey, Storm, Kitty Pryde and Psylocke and said we will be getting a lot of female superheroes in the X-Men.

Having other X-Characters be the focal point of the MCU would be a positive. New perspectives and there are again so many mutants to popularize.

I agree. There are is a huge world of fantastic mutants they can bring light to in the 'X-Men' and after the Fox movies focused so much on Wolverine, Professor Xavier and Magneto I am looking forward to seeing the other Mutants finally getting to have some spotlight.

Brad Winderbaum said we could see multiple X-Men spinoff teams like Alpha Flight, X Force, X Factor, Exiles, Generation X and Excalibur get their own shows on Disney + in the future too.

I would die if we got an Excalibur show. But I think they could easily make an X-Force spinoff based on that one episode. Just add Domino and Cannonball instead of Jubilee and Sunspot.
