The X-men get zapped into the digi-verse.
The villain is totally evil, the action is off the walls, the characters are true to form. Not a single complaint, really.
Mojo is just the right amount of "villain of the week".
An archetype not too often explored. Most times it's organized groups, re-accruing baddies, or a specific tale centered around a specific mutant and their nemesis. This is just Saturday morning fun.
Which isn't completely true, it's a little annoying, it's campy, it's loud, it's a little bit pointless.
But with this being the exception, and the whole premise of the episode being "stuck inside the TV", you have to think that this is all an excellent point: You can have superhero shows with actual characters, plots, and stories. It doesn't have to be "the villain of the week" every episode. Children can handle more.
And they proved it this episode, it's the lowest rated so far.
But with stuff like this you have to give grace and look for one thing: does it sacrifice the characters we know, just for the sake of entertainment, story, or the episode? If not, I don't see if there is an issue, and it's just as entertaining and fun as it can be. I don't see that it did any of that, so I give up, it was a fun episode.
And the magneto professor x part was super interesting.
That's a point that shows how they still know what they are doing.
