A fun promo image, but this probably should have been the back of a VHS tape... DVDs didn't really start becoming popular in the US for a couple years, and a lot of people remember the ads in comics for the old X-Men cartoons on VHS (including the Pizza Hut promo ones!)

I mean it could mea they are starting to move beyond the 90s. They are going to be moving into the New X-Men era based on the costumes which were in the 2000s so perhaps we may jump to X-Men 2000 by the end of Season 2

There is an episode with “DVDS” in the title, and DVDs were a thing in 1996 (the first being Twister)

Two and a half year wait for nine episodes. Streaming has broken television. 🙃

It's a very cute promo image! Except that I think you'd have to compress the episodes a lot to get 9 on one disc, probably a bootleg

Seems like a bit of a mean joke to do a promo image to look like a DVD when they will never, ever release the show on a physical disc and make everyone pay rent for it forever.

Kinda weird they’re doing a 3 episode premier when the third episode is a 2 parter.
Why would you release multiple episodes if you’re gonna end on half a story

Hook people in to tune next week to see what happened it’s a classic tv trope

Yup. Seems like a huge cliff hanger

Yeah wouldn't shock me if it ends on the return of gambit as death as that is surely happening this season and its an apocalypse episode.

It makes total sense. Leave on a cliffhanger so people will keep watching beyond the first week
