[surreal thicket]

Strong start.

Didnt think Magneto had it in him.

[latent forum]

Binge when back

[lament belfry]

so happy

but is storm gonna be out the entire run

[surreal thicket]

That's what you think.

Marvel has a history of reversing bad fortune.

[latent forum]

Marvel also has a history of worrying too much about continuity and ending up ruining characters and stories

[surreal thicket]

I mainly meant that i'm pretty sure she'll get her powers back somehow.

[torn oxide]

Loved the first two episodes of X men 97. Updating the intro with same theme song was great. Loving the animation style, some characters are having an update, also I liked the storyline about ||Magneto leading X men now||.

As someone who loved the original X men the animated series, I'm loving X men 97 so far.

[lethal forum]

do i have to watch the original or nah

nvm 5 seasons, ill just start from here lol

[torn oxide]

Better to watch the original but it is not a total requirement and there are recaps too in YouTube including a official 2 minute recap

Intro in HD just feels “too clean” lol

Do I need to watch the previous 90's series before starting X-men 97?

[timid verge]

New episode comes out later on today and I’m keen for it

[charred escarp]

Do I need to watch the show prior before watching this

The show looks dope

[torn oxide]

The OG show is great and so I recommend you to watch it, but having now watched 2 episodes it is not a absolute requirement.

[torn oxide]

Episode 3 of X men 97 was fun and I liked ||how they did the Madeline Pryor story, that Goblin Queen outfit was sick and the story of how Nathan is sent to future was done very well too. Mr Sinister is a great villian too.||

Love the action scenes as well.

[surreal thicket]

Jesus Christ! This episode has nightmare fuel up the wazoo!

[surreal thicket]

Told you guys.

No way they'd leave Storm in the dust.

[torn oxide]

Yup

[slow wadi]

Why

[slow wadi]

Fr. I’m going to be so lost. I saw a clip on YouTube, that Jean was pregnant with a baby. I mean I get that Scott/Jean is a power couple, but what!?
Show is like if it was made for the next gen

[torn oxide]

Really enjoyed episode 4 which was quite interesting with ||the video game stuff||. Also this was cool.

||https://fxtwitter.com/ERodBuster1/status/1775616913273389230?s=19||

[peak oasis]

The show is pretty great so far but woah sooooo much happened in episode 3

I'm kinda worried that a lot of stuff will be introduced and rushed now

I'll get to the next episode when episode 5 is out

Only a very few sharp-eyed X-Men fans spotted the cameo of Madelyne Pryor (the Goblin Queen) I added when Jean Grey mind-scanned Cable's mind in "Time Fugitives Part 1".
Jean Grey has the ponytail.
Madelyn had full hair.

Episode 5 was absolutely insane. ||I never thought they would kill Gambit like that but he died a heroic death. I'm not sure about Magento as we didn't see the body. So many other mutants died as well.||, also gotta say that ||Genosha was actually quite beautiful, also Did Mastermold act on his own attacking Genosha or were there humans involved?? ||. Scott and Jean ||are having some problems with their own||.

Also, didn't expect ||to see The watcher in this episode for a very brief moment||

[torn oxide]

Episode 5 spoilers..

[lament belfry]

damn

https://tenor.com/view/explosion-mushroom-cloud-atomic-bomb-bomb-boom-gif-4464831

changed from a quiet depressing evening to a future apocalypse in a second at the later half.

[surreal thicket]

Dammit, magneto has to be in his 60's to 70's. And he nails Rogue?

Good series...

Damn good series.

[real reef]

Holy SHIT that last episode

Is this the beginning of days of future past?

[neon sky]

all I can say about the recent episode...ow

[torn oxide]

I'm sure we ||are getting some time travel with what happened in episode 5.. Cable is definitely getting involved||

[glad blade]

The new episode was so good but it broke my heart 😭

[muted hearth]

Why is rogue with magneto?

[torn oxide]

It is explained in episode 5

[surreal thicket]

He's the only one who ||doesent get drained by her touch.||

[torn oxide]

Solid 6th episode of X men 97. Didn't expect ||Charles to show up this quick but makes sense, his teaching scene was great but now he has to go back||. Storm was fantastic this episode with ||a new look, her powers were already restored by Forge but I guess she had blocked it internally and in this episode that was unlocked||.

And we now know it was ||Mr. Sinister who planned Mutant massacre with help from Trask, so I guess he's the big bad of this season ||

[surreal thicket]

Class 1 big bad, if you ask me.

[lament belfry]

What was exactly the reason Charles left for the Xiar, didn't he have an illness or something

[surreal thicket]

Loves Lilandra.

Also he was deathly ill.

[lament belfry]

i just recalled how brilliantly the intergalactic empires were visualised in the animated universe. they could have done that in the mcu, but no we get lady ronan.

[surreal thicket]

I guess they figured Dar-Benn's gender wasnt as capital to the character as the rest of their character.

[torn oxide]

Dar Benn was such a hollow villain as well

[lament belfry]

It'd not really the existence of the character that annoys me, rather it's the amount of screen time they waste on things like that rather than the more interesting aspects 9f the universe.

[torn oxide]

Episode 7 of X men 97 was fantastic and so much happened. The ||funeral scene at the beginning for Gambit was sad||, Rogue ||is quite distraught and I didn't expect her to meet with Captain America as well||. We finally got our ||main villain in Bastion who is a newer villain that I didn't know about||. Also, ||Magneto is alive which is great||. So, things are getting interesting and now the next three episodes is a three part arc and I assume both ||Xavier and Storm will be back||.

[surreal thicket]

I thought Sinister was the main bad.

[torn oxide]

Well, we were mistaken

[torn oxide]

[dusk arch]

This is good

[tawdry bridge]

Spider-Man

In xmen

[neon sky]

MY GOAT IS BACK

if he ever speaks and he's voiced by Christopher Daniel Barnes, I'd actually faint on the spot, I'm not even kidding

actually I'm only now realizing how the hell was Captain America in X-Men '97, I thought he was in like a time loop or something in season 5 of Spider-Man TAS

[torn oxide]

8th episode was so good. The main villian ||Bastion|| I think is fantastic with his twisted reasoning and I didn't expect || Doom, Zemo and others helping him out like that plus his human allies||. The action scenes were fantastic. Magneto was great too esp ||at the end with him shutting down the electricity on Earth and now he's on war path against Bastion and probably the rest of humanity||. Absolutely loved the ||90s Spiderman cameo, also Silver samurai and Omega Red||. And finally ||Xavier returns but he's gonna have his hands full dealing with the situation.||

[slow wadi]

Haven’t seen the show to know what’s going on.
Isn’t this what we wanted marvel live action to be about?,
With crossovers?

[surreal thicket]

Cap was a guest.

[slow wadi]

I’m still not convinced if this show is worth watching.
Is it? (Use emoji’s for yes and no. I decide from that if I should watch it.)

~~Definitely gonna watch if it’s canon. But I doubt it is. ~~

[torn oxide]

It absolutely is worth watching imo.

[tawdry bridge]

I wonder if avengers are gonna fight along xmen or not

[torn oxide]

I doubt that this season

[tawdry bridge]

Wouldn’t make logical sense but yeah probably they won’t show them this season

[torn oxide]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RUPPRDQo7vo&pp=ygUOWG1lbiA5NyBhaXJibmI%3D

[slow wadi]

Based on how the cartoon looks, what’s the name of the original show this is following. New script, but I’m guessing, it’s a continuing story to the original?

[torn oxide]

Yes

[whole widget]

Definitely worth watching, I’ll stream it for you if u don’t got Disney plus. The show is amazing, got nuanced writing compared to so many other mcu projects.

[whole widget]

I’ve never watched the original but you can deduce some of the stuff that happened. Either way it’s peak marvel, some of their action scenes rival some anime’s with their action animation. The art style is stunning, animation is dynamic.!!!! Watch asap

[surreal thicket]

I appreciate the, uh...thoroughly apocalyptic scope of this series.

Its a complete black hole, swallowing everything and everyone.

[real reef]

Well it's apocalyptic for mutants. For humans it's looking great

[rich widget]

GOD

IM ACTUALLY MAD AT HOW GOOD THIS SHOW IS

FUCK

[lament belfry]

Finally, Nimrod.

Spidey showed and kamar taj got mentioned.

[surreal thicket]

||Yah, all the humans get Nimroded then EMP'ed.||

[tawdry bridge]

how great for humans . they are gonna be controlled by the villian

[lament belfry]

so Doom and Zemo were actually interested in Bastians proposition?

they dont seem like the humanity favouring type of dictators, well Doom I mean.

[torn oxide]

I mean both didn't want a world dominated by mutants but I don't think both were closely involved esp Doom

[real reef]

Doom cares about mutants, just only ones born in latveria

[neon sky]

the fact that the series takes place in 1997 kinda implies that Spider-Man seen in the cameo is going through either the Secret Wars or Spider-Wars arc?

so Peter's probably still looking for MJ at this point

[torn oxide]

Ah, that's really interesting

[torn oxide]

Very much enjoyed 9th episode. It was filled with action and the end with ||what Magneto did with Wolverine|| was just crazy. I do wonder why ||the change in costumes though and Magneto's EMP attack last episode was far more dangerous than we all thought||. I also hope ||Jean isn't dead, also that Hulk cameo was cool||

[surreal thicket]

Lots of nods to the comics.

[tawdry bridge]

Technically that isn’t cameo

Avengers should show up now . World is ending and avengers not showing up won’t make sense . Xmen are losing .

[lament belfry]

Did they cast Josh Brolin as cable based on how similar his voice is to Chris Potter? Because, I'm constantly thinking of brolin every time cable speaks.

But seriously, insane episode.

I'm guessing sinister installed the chip in cable as a baby?

[tawdry bridge]

Maybe who knows

Only episode 10 can tell

Is it the last one ?

[lament belfry]

Appherently

Btw, during the part when the x-men infiltrate Magneto's space mansion,
isn't the rule of Nightcrawler's power that he can only accurately teleport people to a location that he can see? How does he teleport the X-Men from the jet to Magneto's throne room?

[torn oxide]

But this is a X men show though, you can't just introduce Avengers into the mix.

[tawdry bridge]

https://tenor.com/view/x-men-97-spider-man-shocked-shook-woah-gif-8387463044101288302

Spiderman was never a member of avengers in the 90s show. He was solo.

[tawdry bridge]

[torn oxide]

X men 97 is part of 90s Marvel animated series which as far as I recall never had any team called Avengers..

[whole widget]

The part with the sentinels and hulk fighting looked like something out of attack on titan, so well animated and colored.

[surreal thicket]

dunno what's up with the retro suits, but i ain't complaining. Magneto always looked good in armor.

[lament belfry]

they had those suits in the og animated shows, basically a continuation of that.

I get that morph can transform into the hulk, but how does he mimic his strength from the gamma radiation and rage.

[surreal thicket]

It is but a pale imitation of it, like Mystique's Wolverine claws. The real Hulk is much, much stronger.

[neon sky]

OH MY FUCKING GOD, HE FOUND MJ

I finally have closure, 5 year old SpaceBot can rest

I don't care if we ever get a Spider-Man '98 this is enough to make me happy

[torn oxide]

Loved season 1 finale and the show as a whole. This finale had it all from a interesting story and then resolution, loved the action scenes too and ||so many cameos as well||. The ending was great as well ||with the X men scattered in past and future, Apocalypse being teased as main villain next season||.

BTW.. such a cool detail, Magneto's other aliases include Ian... and Michael..

Mid-credit scene of finale

[limpid gazelle]

Why is rogue so strong I thought her power is absorbing other mutant ability

[torn oxide]

She already has superhuman strength, speed and flight as a default superpower and being able to absorb other mutants powers is extra

[limpid gazelle]

Oooh I see

Ive only seen rogue in the live action movies

Where tf is bishop

I thought he'd came in clutch

Oh here he is

[surreal thicket]

Wrong. She got strength and flight because she touched Ms Marvel for way too long.

Infant was right.

[limpid gazelle]

Ms marvel doesn't have that....?

I thought she is stretchy

[surreal thicket]

Not mcu Ms Marvel, Xmen Tas Ms Marvel. Carol Danvers.

[limpid gazelle]

I thought she's captain marvel

[cedar bear]

in the comics she starts as ms marvel

and becomes captain marvel in some iterations

the original captain marvel is a man

[charred escarp]

Duh, isn’t the show 10 episodes

Yeah episode 5 went amazingly

Wanted to watch this series for a awhile and for the purpose to do an essay on it in college

[whole widget]

Right wasn’t sure if you just started or finished ep 5 or were in middle of it.

[charred escarp]

Gonna watch the final episode tonight. Show has been great

A nice balance of story, action, and themes of otherness

[whole widget]

Oh nice nice, gonna binge the next 5 eps?

[charred escarp]

Nah I already did from 6 to 9. Just now on the final episode

[charred escarp]

@whole widget finished

truly an amazing show, I can imagine season 2 will go hard and I hope it will release next year at least

also for the Beau DeMayo drama, was he the one doing the bad or was it disney?

Been hearing its mostly DeMayo for the bad stuff

[whole widget]

I don’t know it’s a whole he said she said bs.. tho so far the stuff Disney had been saying seems like DeMayo was harassing employees or contributing to toxic environment.

Yeah gonna peep that vid later

[whole widget]

Nude Cyclops ayy daddy Disney def wouldn’t approve 🤣

[whole widget]

Have you seen the new spiderman show yet?

[charred escarp]

Yeah ik it’s made by the same studio. It’s decent so far, a diamond in the rough with the way things are looking for it

[whole widget]

I’d say it’s similar quality to this series may be worth a watch if you craving more marvel content. (Some have tough time adjusting to 3D animation)

[whole widget]

Oh bet

how many episodes deep r ya

[charred escarp]

already finished it, watched it weekly. Show is really overhated, I hope the 3D animation will get a bit better, and the story is definitely different and unique

and definitely has potential to go more since its no longer bound by the MCU

[surreal thicket]

is there a second season i dont know about?

[whole widget]

Yes it’s coming out hopefully next year

[surreal thicket]

kew.

although i dont know how they'll beat the genosha massacre.

Gambit had a rotten deal throughout the first season.

[charred escarp]

yeah as shadow kage said

@whole widget also relating to my essay, do you think Blade Runner is a good pairing to go along X-Men with its themes

Humans Vs Mutants

Humans Vs Replicants it sounds great

[surreal thicket]

except mutants have a longer lifespan than androids, and some cant pass for human anymore.

[whole widget]

Hmm I’m not super familiar with blade runner

I’ve seen the one with Ryan a while back or whoever that actor was

[charred escarp]

Well its gonna relate greatly to the material of my college course.

[torn oxide]

Not all mutants though right?

[surreal thicket]

no but like Beast and Nightcrawler are phucked.

[charred escarp]

@whole widget met up with magneto’s VA at a convention today

He was really tall and kind I was really nervous meeting him

But he was really cool

And when I told him about my essay, he was surprised I was writing a paper about the show

So yeah it was cool meeting him

And he joking said about season 2 not happening as well. But I know well he’s under NDA to not talk about it

[whole widget]

Fr???? Bro I’m jealous that is cool asf. Did you get a pic with the guy or a signature!!

[whole widget]

That’s surprising the show has loads of themes to write about
