The Mitsubishi Destination Talks Tough, But Skips One Key Feature
Mitsubishi has officially introduced the Mitsubishi Destination, a mid-size SUV with three-row seating, designed specifically for Southeast Asian markets. While early speculation hinted at a spiritual successor to the legendary Pajero, Mitsubishi clarified that this new model follows a different path. Instead of reviving a nameplate from the past, the brand has created a family-oriented SUV tailored to meet modern demands across countries like Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Thailand. Designed for Utility, Not Heritage At first glance, the Mitsubishi Destination exudes toughness, reminiscent of off-road-ready vehicles. But underneath its bold design lies a front-wheel-drive platform—the same one used by the compact Mitsubishi X-Force. Powering the vehicle is a 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine delivering around 161 horsepower and 250 Nm of torque, paired with a CVT transmission. Mitsubishi's strategy clearly focuses on offering the visual appeal of a rugged SUV without the added complexity or cost of a full off-roader. Adventure-Ready With Practical Driving Modes Despite its urban platform, the Destination doesn't shy away from adventure. Mitsubishi equips the SUV with a well-tuned suspension system and respectable ground clearance. The vehicle features five selectable drive modes—Normal, Wet, Gravel, Mud, and Smart Curve—enabling it to adapt to varying terrains and road conditions. These capabilities align well with the needs of active families in emerging markets, offering confidence and comfort without requiring premium components. Modern Styling With Concept-Car Influence The vehicle's exterior borrows cues from the Mitsubishi DST concept unveiled at the Philippines Auto Show in 2024. Notable features include a wide 'Dynamic Shield' grille, signature T-shaped LED headlights, bold side lines, and available 18-inch wheels. Compared to the concept, the production model softens some details with traditional door handles and standard side mirrors, signaling a more realistic approach to cost and practicality. An Affordable, Three-Row Option for Families First launched in Indonesia and set to roll out across Asia in fiscal year 2025, the Destination aims to provide families with a versatile and affordable SUV. By offering three-row seating in a mid-size package, it fills a gap between compact crossovers and pricier models like the Pajero Sport or imported SUVs. Not a Pajero Replacement—but a Smart Strategy While the Destination may channel some of the Pajero's spirit, it doesn't share its mechanical DNA. Instead, it stands as a product engineered to satisfy specific regional needs—combining bold aesthetics, everyday practicality, and affordability. It's Mitsubishi's answer to the evolving tastes of Southeast Asian buyers and a strategic step to reestablish its relevance in the competitive family SUV segment. Gallery:

Original X-MEN '97 Creator Beau DeMayo Reveals His Ambitious, Scrapped Vision for Season 2 — GeekTyrant
Before X-Men '97 premiered to critical and fan acclaim, creator Beau DeMayo had already been removed from the series. Though still credited as a writer on Season 2, his exact contributions remain uncertain, and now, we have a better idea of what his vision entailed. In a series of posts, DeMayo broke down his original concept for Season 2, offering fans a tease into a darker, more politically charged chapter for the X-Men. It included mutant militias, time travel, and a massive showdown in Washington D.C. DeMayo wrote: 'So, I'm curious what remains in #xmen97 Season 2 when it comes to New X-Men costumes. My intention in using Grant Morrison's and Frank Quietly's uniforms was this: 'In my version of Season 2, E-Day leads to mutant task forces like the X-Men being banned in the US and so Xavier — eager to find the next step in his dream as rival groups X-Force and X-Factor spring up while the X-Men are scattered through time — founds X-Corp, building the tower from the comics on the ruins of Genosha as a challenge to Val Cooper and the UN since X-Force would now operate outside of UN jurisdiction.'' DeMayo saw Season 2 as a radical evolution of Charles Xavier's vision, one that gets twisted by darker forces. He added: 'To me, Quietly's designs felt more militant and that's something I intended to explore in Season 2 as Xavier begins to militarize his dream, moving them away from being heroes, with the final reveal being in the S2 finale (which has been cut) that it was Onslaught slowly gaining control of Xavier that made him defy the UN, start X-Corp, and militarize his team.' DeMayo was laying the groundwork for one of the most dangerous villains in X-Men history to make a surprise return. His plan would've culminated in a massive final act: 'When the X-Men realize this, and Onslaught reveals himself at the end of Episode 9, they don their classic 90s costumes again and return to being heroes as they lead the Avengers, X-Factor, and X-Force against Onslaught as he steals Ship (from the OG's Obsession) from Apocalypse and unleashes it on Washington D.C. during Graydon Creed's inauguration.' That would've been a universe-spanning climax worthy of the best X-Men arcs. But with DeMayo no longer steering the ship, it's unclear how much (if any) of this will make it into the final cut of Season 2. Marvel hasn't announced a release date for the new season, but expectations are high. Whether we get even a shadow of this Onslaught arc remains to be seen, but fans will definitely be watching closely.
