X-MEN '97 Is What Marvel NEEDS Right Now
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 мар 2024
- X-MEN 97 has revitalized interest in the X-Men as a whole, but it's also gained interest in something Marvel has largely been ignoring for a while now, animation. Let's talk about how Marvel Animation's new X-Men show can help Marvel in more ways than one.

When I saw that this was coming back, I immediately realized that Marvel was actually trying to take their animation game seriously, and I'm so glad cuz Marvel has so many underrated gems that it's actually a crime such as iron Man, armored adventures or the fantastic four series or even the hulk series and MTV's Spider-Man series and the best one out of all of them. Avengers Earth's mightiest heroes
They aren’t though. Just at look at how bad the animation is compared to the original!
@@Film21ProductionsWhat are you talking about? The animation in the show looks beautiful, and they're trying out a different style while simultaneously trying to keep the same aesthetic that the old show has that is literally taking it serious. On top of that, having the original cast back and making it more of a continuation rather than trying to change the fundamentals of the show itself. It's clear they took this seriously. What are you talking about
@@Film21Productionsthe animation is better, the old show had some bad animation. The character art is what you probably mean, but even that is debatable
@@marvelmaniacs1 It’s a cartoon show that has worse animation then the original which came out 32 years ago. They have all the tools and money at their disposal and yet while watching I couldn’t shake the feeling that animation fidelity simply isn’t there. Anytime a character is talking it looks like those shitty puppet animations, which looks cheap and unnatural. Which comes back to my point, why is the animation in a cartoon shitty? Because they want to work faster not smarter.
@@DrJareld No I meant the animation
What Marvel needs is more 2D animation shows and non-related animated shows. And so far X-Men 97 has been doing a great job.
Yes‼️‼️
Watch moon girl then. They don’t do them as much cause people barely watch them
@@canned3880 well at lot of people are watching X-Men 97.
@@canned3880I don’t care about moon girl.
@@That_Web_Guy1810 I'm extremely dissinterested in x-men and still enjoyed the show. A good show is a good show
I have been keeping track of everyone who made a Cyclops joke over the last 27 years. I will be publishing a list of confirmed liars now that he is officially cool. Sincerely, the number one cyclops stan Nick!
LMAO
Can I join the cyclops club?
@@mrexeptionel9530 yes... we do not sure away new cyke-stans, we only seek to spread the good word of Scott.
In the words of Nando v Movies, we always knew he was cool, we just didn't have proof.
Lol 😂
I genuinely like the Cyclops love I've been seeing since the series came out. He's the X-Men leader for a reason.
Same
All I want is spider-man 98 now
Would go crazy
@@Browntable I know
Absolutely especially when this show ended with a cliffhanger@@user-xs3vm2yz5x
yeah at least X-Men had a proper ending.
Or the Hulk TAS '97.
Bruh for real I was trying to figure out why I was loving X-Men 97 besides it being a continuation of X-Men The Animated Series one of the greatest animated shows of all time and it being a great show of it's own but also we all want Marvel stuff outside of the MCU , we want live action movies, and animated shows outside of the MCU.
Hell yeah man, I wish Marvel would do something like DC is doing (surprisingly) and drop Jokers, The Batmans, etc
@@Browntable definitely dude we all love the MCU but we need a serious break from it for a little bit. Lol 😮💨
i'm just surprised that this is from the same studio that made ant-man 3, thor 4, dr strange 2... if this is the kind of thing they're doing with x-men, my hopes for the future of the mcu aren't quite dead yet lol
This is where we need classic comic book shows that don’t need to rely on the MCU. I genuinely hope that comic accurate shows get a chance to resurface. Though I didn’t grow up with the OG Xmen show as a kid, I got to watch it as an adult and can say it’s the best adaptation of the Xmen. And this new show is absolutely amazing and I get to grow up with it! As well as the rest of us. It’s literally a badass breath of fresh air!
X-Men 97 is genuinely incredible. Like I didn't realize how much I missed the X-Men as a family until I watched the first two episodes of the show. Everything from the conversation between Jean and Storm about how Jean should raise her son in a world that will always remind him about how he's different and how this world will always hate him for simply being born, to honestly one of my favorite Magneto speeches and moments of all time when he pulled the UN Council to the the edge of Earth's atmosphere because of what happened to Strom and came so close to smiting them out of existence but restrained himself because an old friend challenged him to remember a different view of the world. Charles challenged Magnus to remember how vast the world is versus how small they make it. I loved how he said the dream isn't from mutants and humans to love each other but simply to accept their existence and that Earth is a shared world with a common future. The music score in that scene was incredible. Speaking of music, the newly revamped intro was also fantastic! The really cool added visual details and the slightly retouched music was awesome and gave me nostalgia for a time I wasn't even alive for. On another great note, it's so awesome to finally see my boy Cyclops done right as the leader of the X-Men! Marvel Animation is doing justice to Cyclops with only two episodes of X-Men 97 when 20th Century Fox couldn't after multiple movies. 😭 The "To me, my X-Men" Call to Arms phrase is the best Marvel has. This comment is already crazy long so I'm going to wrap up by saying that X-Men 97 is even more proof that Marvel stories and just comic book stories in general are best realized in animation. Like I couldn't even imagine them trying to pull off that incredible Cyclops superhero landing in live action because you can only really do cool stuff like that in animation cuz to be quite frank animation is just better. 🥱 Also, seeing that Strom " Omega Level Threat" moment was also so badass! As you can tell I love this show quite a bit so I'm happy to hear that it's the highest rated Marvel show ever with 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. It genuinely deserves all the critical and streaming viewership success it's finding right now. 👏🏽 10/10 show so far! 🌟✨️🎆
Man I really hope this is the start of Marvel taking their animated projects more seriously. Would love another shot at the Deadpool show, a Spec Spidey S3, or newer projects not tied to a previous show/project.
Absolutely, Glover’s Deadpool show would go crazy
Exactly! Give us animated takes on stuff like Immortal Hulk, Avengers: Under Siege, or anything Chip Zdarsky and Al Ewing have done! Give us weird experiments like Iron Man: Armored Adventures!
I’m with everyone else hoping that this is just the start of a Marvel Animation boom and not just a fluke.
@@AvengerGreenhonestly with animation we never know lol, everyone could be loving the show, only for disney to cancel it after season 3 lmao. they tend to do that a lot :/
A GOAT creator covering a GOAT series? We're eating good.
NO YOU 🫵🫵🫵
100% agreed, it’s not that we’re done with superhero stuff
We just want good shit
I checked out both of the newest episodes, and I have to say I was literally *BLOWN AWAY* by how good the episodes were. The outstanding animation and seamless 3D and 2D animation blend are mesmerising. The story also truly feels like a continuation of the original show, and the plot lines and twists introduced are wonderfully written and executed. *Possibly some of the best Marvel content we've ever received in a long time.* I adored the characterisation of Cyclops, Storm, Wolverine, Magneto, Jean, Rogue, etc... Everyone truly felt like nothing had changed, but it still felt satisfying to see them again. I loved seeing the focus on Cyclops and finally showing why he is such a BADASS character and why he deserves to be the leader of the X-men, plus Scott's & Jean's relationship and them questioning the future of the X-men and their child. Seeing Magneto genuinely want to change for his friend was really powerful, especially with that speech in episode 2, which, holy s***, was an intense moment, and his final "don't make me let you down", total CHILLS! But watching Storm lose her powers was heartbreaking and devasting, especially since Storm is one of my favourite X-men and female superheroes. Her losing her powers was the equivalent of chemical castration, and seeing her mentally process it almost brought me to tears
I hope Marvel makes some fucking sick ass animated movies. This show is so good, and Sony's Spider-Verse movies are popping off. Please Marvel and DC make sick animated feature movies.
It’s nice to see this show do so well. Nice to see it and Moon Girl pave the way for more Marvel projects that aren’t connected to the MCU.
I doubt we’ll get a Marvel film not connected to the MCU unlike DC’s Joker and Matt Reeves Batman series but still.
Marvel needs to start having TV shows that aren't releated to the MCU with an actual purpose
Considering the current state of the MCU, Marvel really doesn't have much choice on going back to the basics.
@@tkcritic7368Ooo he SPITTEN... he SPITTEN 🗣🗣🗣.
the exact same way Star wars need more stuff that aren't releated to the the empire skywalker saga
Moon Girl and Hit-Monkey both say hi.
@@GamerSlyRatchet1hit Monkey is soooo good
The problem with Storm in the movies is that she uses the elements versus Storm in this cartoon where she commands the elements.
They choose those 3D models for the ending credits because it's a homage to the original ending credits that had these typical 90s CGI models.
Well said, we are not tired of superhero content we are tired of BAD superhero content.
This💯
The fact that Marvel branded it under "Marvel Animation" makes me so happy. I'm praying they invest A TONNE into making more especially 2D animated shows. Like just imagine if Studio Mir made a Peter Parker adult Spider-Man show (as in he's an adult, not necessarily adult show). I would lose my mind. Anyway, thanks as always for making this video and shining the spotlight on animation as you always do!
X-Men 97 is a breath of fresh air than marvel desperately need I'm so happy they brought back the original series and continue where it ended this is what marvel need right now and I still can't wait 2 marvel zombies and Daredevil born again
I also never really watched the OG show, but these two episodes went so fucking hard.
For the past decade or so, we've been obsessed with Wolverine? more like almost 2 full decades! So hyped for this Cyclops!
The king is finally back 🗣️🔥🔥
**no you**
Would be nice if X-Men 97 is the start of an entire Marvel Animated Universe and they make an animated series for all the big Marvel characters with occasional crossovers.
Xmen 97 is already a continuation of the 90s Marvel animated universe as it is litterly in the same universe as Spiderman the animated series, Fantastic four animated series, Iron man animated series and the 90s hulk animated series.
@@iraford5788 Yeah, but they should bring them all back is what I mean. And even create a bunch of new ones for other characters that never got their own animated series.
The problem is Disney. They like to neuter their IPs. They also like to capitalize on nostalgia, which I'm guessing is the only reason x-men 97 exists
You need to see the 90's X-Men cartoon
It looks like the creators genuinely took their time to craft something special with X-Men 97. The MCU needs to learn from those guys and gals.
With the first episodes being good, makes you think what really happened with DeMayo as at least the final product wasn't the issue.
@@uncannydcmarvelous5732Now I’m worried about season 3 when the new showrunner takes over
Time for Peter to finally save Mary Jane after all these years
I genuinely hope this show performs well, the possibility of revival to Spider-Man The Animated Series or Spectacular Spider-Man makes me hopeful.
And if we want these things to happen, then don't make them look and feel rushed and stuff.
'97 is the most I've loved a Marvel... anything in such a long time. I'm begging for the rest of the season to be just as good as Ep. 2
Im so glad they are back, I can't wait to start watching it.
I love the 90s show and I can't wait to watch this.
I haven't gotten Disney Plus yet, but I'm glad this show was much better than I expected. While I am tempted by a few cartoon revivals (Spectacular, Avengers: EMH, etc.) that could come from this, I hope Disney doesn't take the wrong lesson from this and just focuses on reviving old cartoons and nostalgia. We should still make room for new shows. Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur and to a lesser extent Hit-Monkey are great examples of making the most out of a relatively obscure and recent character roster.
Need to bring more of this back
I can’t believe X-Men 97 come out on my birthday the show is good so far
The best part of 97 is Cyclops now does his own stunts
ive been waiting for your input on the show. thanks for this bro
This. It was literally so good and I’m excited. I’m ready for Marvel to get back to the way it was, not the MCU.
Love you bro❤
You preach to truth. Comics should dictate other media, not the other way around
This is as the first time I ever saw the show, and that fight scene literally has me grinning ear to ear I won’t lie, shit was peak
This show is the reason I was excited for Disney+ I was 9 in ‘92 and this was my favorite cartoon by far. The fact that they literally picked up where they left off 25 plus years ago is the icing on the cake. I’m glad everyone is enjoying it so far and maybe they’ll revive the 90s Spiderman cartoon as well!
I LOVE U BROWNTABLEEEE
🫶🫶🫶
You've hit the nail on the head for basically, everything I feel about Marvel, MCU, and Animation, fantastic video. :)
I am so happy x-men has returned and it makes me happy this show is a massive success especially this being animated makes me so happy.
There's been plenty of shows on Disney+ where whenever an episode ends I'm not chomping at the bit to watch the next one. X-Men '97 is not that. When the first episode ended I HAD to watch episode 2. When episode 2 ended, I was wishing that the whole season was already out. Also I'm similar to you where I have zero nostalgia for the original (I was an X-Men Evolution kid) so I'm basing my opinion solely on the merits of the new episodes.
Marvel animation needs to bring back the Avengers earth's mightiest heroes show for more seasons
Agreed 💯
That show should have been spoken off with the same reverence as the 90’s Batman, X-Men, Spider-Man, Superman animated series. However, it didn’t cause Disney wanted to cancel it and replace it with Avengers Assemble which is must a crappy MCU tie-in
They did a good job retaining the Artstyle of the original while also modernising it
It looks exactly like a 90s cartoon
Yes yes yes! Agree to all of this. I love the MCU but there’s so much of it in movies, tv shows, and video games that it all feels the same and repetitive; not new. Avengers Earth’s Mightiest Heroes was their last great animation because it was their own thing. It was not tied to or in the shadows of the MCU. Xmen 97 stands on its own. The soap opera drama, the edginess, colorfulness, action, and real world issues can be cranked up to an eleven. Its feels like a comic book come to life.
I hope this signals Disney/ Marvel that not everything has to be MCU related and that we need to start drifting to other sectors of Marvel. And to take time to brand their characters.
great vid love your content
While I am glad we are getting more animation from Marvel now, I hope it doesn't end up catering to nostalgia and only do revivals or reboots of Marvels most popular shows, it's better than when they made MCU animated shows but I'm afraid they're going to cater to fanservice.
I 100% agree with you
True... but i don't think that's the case! Again, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is a new and original Marvel Cartoon.
One that will not be tied to the MCU, but will most likely cater itself to the comics.
Great video and sense the 96 series released , I’ve been planning on watching the original series and the 90s marvel shows out of curiosity
DO IT, Spider-Man's excellent fr
@@Browntable okay , thanks.
I would genuinely trade my younger brother to see the Fantastic 4 get a show w dis level of quality, passion and nostalgia
It's like your mouth is moving but my exact opinion is flowing out.. Thank you for voicing our desire for content not tied to the MCU... I was so excited for, and subsequently let down, regarding "What If".
We need a season of what if based on the original comic line and animated in '97 style!
i really wish you could upload videos more often😅
Same 😮💨
X men fans have been deprived of X men stuff for awhile, except deadpool
And who would have thought that the X men show we needed was an old one
They need to give Spider-Man the animated a final season
Give me Carnage as Jack the Ripper. I want that storyline.
Yep, you get it. I was one of the few people who was excited when Hit Monkey came out. Why? Simple, because it is not MCU. As a Marvel fan who actually reads comics I get so pissed off when all I ever get is MCU related stuff. No only that but then they changed characters just so they can be similar to the MCU so can attract one or 2 normies who actually decided to read a comic book.
I mean for fuck sake, Hit monkey had Lady Bullseye in it! That character is so niche that I would probably be in my 50s by the time it would take to introduce her to the MCU. So yeah, bring back Marvel. Not the Avengers or Iron Boy Junior. MARVEL!
I’m just glad that Marvel is finally back on their original animated content that don’t need to be MCU related all the time. Just give us those original shows again that are just set in their own universes
Seeing this video about Marvel Animations rising from the dead is one of the greatest things to make my freaking day... and judging by the comments? *EVERYONE* wants Marvel Animations to return and deliver more MARVEL content over the MCU slop.
Like... X-Men '97 literally brought Marvel Fans and FAMILIES together when it dropped, like are you serious 😭.
This is why Marvel Animations is so important becuase they make Marvel feel EXCITING! Through Marvel Animations, they can explore the great depths and WONDERS of Marvel's history from the comics.
What made them SPECIAL in the first place.
Either as big movies or cartoon shows! Bro, ver since disney bought Marvel, their first decision should have been to focus on Marvel Animations! But they didn't, and it SUFFERED for it... we were left to live in a stranded desert of DROUGHT and disappointment, which was the "Dark Age" of Marvel Animations. Sure, they've gone through success with the MCU, but in this day and age? It's starting to lose its luster, and it's literally beginning to RUST.
Dude... nobody wants the MCU to be the main course for ENTERTAINMENT that deals around marvel! Marvel shouldn't be all about the MCU.
That gets old real quick, and it shows due to these sucka's starting to lose big money with their recent MCU movies.
**SIGH**
We were literally stuck with mediocre disney shows and MCU content for decades, dude... for YEARS, and it's literally depressing that they placed us in such a spot for so long! But no more, dude.
A spark has been lit... a new horizon has started to rise! X-Men '97 is the biggest sign of hope that Marvel is coming back into its ROOTS to feel SPECIAL again.
Marvel Animations has returned to show this generation how THEY stand on freaking *BUSINESS* for Marvel Entertainment.
To say the least.
*A new Golden Age has begun...*
I don't know what the future is in store, but i'm starting to believe that it's going to be one of the greatest times that we'll ever live in! Oh, and speaking of Marvel Animation stuff returning???
I think it's about time disney called up the people who presented *"Marvel Era"* to ACTUALLY start its production.
That joint is INTERESTING.
Great video. This IS Marvel and what it should be
The MCU using the 90s X-Men theme with Fox actors is very similar to when WB was using the John William's Superman theme for Henry Cavill's Superman when it's not his theme
Watching those first two episodes not only brought back my love for the X-Men but reminded me that Cyclops is still the badass leader.
Exelent vídeo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I love the MCU but I can’t deny that x men 97 and friendly neighborhood spider man are needed. As much as I love this cinematic universe having shows that are disconnected from it allows for people to get marvel content and be able to take a break from the MCU. Heck it’s on of the reasons I love the venom and spider verse movies so much (and why I’m excited for that animated venom movie) it’s marvel content that I love that does it’s own thing.
That’s always been one of the MCU’s greatest weaknesses. They took the connected universe too Funny cause this is a knock on the DCEU that I actually think is a positive. It’s established that the heroes of the DCEU live in the same world, but they always have to crossover. They have their own adventures and when they do finally crossover it’s a big deal. The comics use to be like this until the MCU came along. Now it don’t feel special anymore . . at least not at Marvel cause every issue has every hero crossing over. It’s too much.
Yes
Well said. I’m obsessed with X97!
So happy that Cyclops is being done well🔥
They created the nostalgia, they created the wonder, they created our childhoods ❤️
your right! We need less MCU inspired shows. It’s limiting. I love shows like moon girl but the stories and elements that can be used are limited when everything has to be MCU Adjacent. I think that after no way home, or multiverse of madness, or hell, even endgame, they should have started over with movies that could adapt the three major Marvel teams (FF/X-MEN/AVENGERS) in stories that don’t have to rely on the multiverse to work. Unless your everywhere all at once or Spider-Man no one has really been doing the multiverse well.
Great video
No it's not he's already saying it's hype because he only say good episodes. He is a hack and he's letting pretty visuals blind him.
Will you ever talk about The Incredible Hulk television series? Because it is the piece of Hulk media that the world needs right now. Let's remind everyone of how great Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno are.
X-Men feels like a breath of fresh air because it's not an important "lead" and unimportant "sidekicks" it's about a bunch of important people with their own identities and issues. Hollywood seems to reflexively shift back to "movie star" and "unimportant side characters", probably because that's how their funding model has always been set up. Animation is a lot easier to sidestep this because there's not the same kind expectation of giant dollars for "leading man" or "leading woman."
This! I cant stand how xmen are being told on movies where this particular man or women carried the whole show. Xmen is about teamwork and every single one should be portray fairly. This is why i prefer the comic book and their animation.
I hope Marvel brings back Spectacular Spider-Man now
Me too 💯
Bro I loved watching your series interstellar can we get an update on episode 4 when it's coming ❤
My issue with marvel for the past decade was their reliance on the MCU, and how their animation efforts had gone downhill.
The MCU is fine. But having the MCU be the only thing marvel cared about in recent times really made comic readers probably a lot more angry whenever decisions to change many elements to fit into the MCU were made. It certainly did for me.
But I also think it highlights how important “variety” is. If you’re just given the MCU for a long amount of time, you’re gonna get bored eventually and want something different. Or at least there is bound to be people not vibing with it.
Making parallels to DC, even when the TimmVerse (BTAS, STAS, JLU) was still going, Warner Bros was still creating other Tv shows that were stylistically not connected to Bruce Timm’s TV shows. Like Teen Titans, and The Batman. So VARIETY is important.
Marvel didn’t seem to understand that for the longest time. But maybe with their recent animated efforts, they might finally get that message through their skulls that we want them to start caring about Marvel Animation again, and not just make them subservient to MCU brand synergy again.
“James Marsden deserves better” definitely not post documentary
Wut?
Love the video. But I gotta ask. When you completing the animated marvel movies? Still have Hulk vs Thor, Planet Hulk and Tales of Asgard.
As someone who grew up a fan of the original show and has the DVDs sitting on my shelf, I was incredibly skeptical of 97. Did not think there was any way the current Marvel/MCU team could pull it off in a way that ascended beyond nostalgia bait. I am extremely pleased to see that, so far, I was wrong, and I can only hope it stays that way to the end. And if it gets people to watch the old show? All the better!
I never saw the original one but this is great so far and it gives me hope for spider-man.
Everything ya said in your video is the reason why I’m enjoying X-men 97 so damn much
we're waiting to binge it, but it's already clear to us how much love the creators have for the source material and the characters themselves. It feels like fans that are actually good writers making the stories they wanna see.
Yeah but now I’m scared cause the showrunner got fired. He finished the first 2 seasons though
@@Linklex7 agreed, we generally find that concerning as well.
This guy is one of the few who understands Storm!
I think the thing to consider about Marvel characters is that they've been around for a long ass time and retold endlessly through different adaptations and incarnations. A majority of these characters would be public domain if not for the aggressive lobbying by their corporate owners. People who care about Marvel don't want these characters to exist within the confines of a single interpretation indefinitely, plus most people will probably understand that the Iron Man from a new cartoon show isn't the same Iron Man from the movies.
This show is X-CELLENT! Waiting for episode 8.
That clone Jen grey I think I heard a Jackel laugh Wich is a spider man villain and he makes clones
This is justice, justice delivered to the x men, and it feels great. This is the kinda of justice Deadpool needs to bring to Marvel Studios.
Alright, I was holding on to watch this but I am beginning it right this week.
I am loving 97 so much. I hope that it is so successful that they finally give us the final season of the 90s Spider-Man series.
I’ve been waiting for this since the announcement was made in 2021 and now it’s finally here and it’s everything that I ever hoped for since becoming an X-Men fan and I can’t wait to find out what happens next ❤️.
I need to see a redeemed Magneto go all out ruthless against Mr. Sinister. Even if Magneto loses I want to see him fight an enemy I can seriously root against
I have an even hotter take.
Not only should Marvel move away from MCU.
I also think Disney should release Star Wars Legends content on Disneyplus as well. As opposed to just official "Disney Canon" only.
An animated version of Heir to the Empire and other pre-Disney EU stuff.
More than anything, I would love if Marvel went all in on Animation, leaving behind the "Jeph Loeb" mindset of "It's just for 8 year olds" entirely (Biggest mistake they ever made was putting him in charge of their TV division)
Finger's crossed for Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.
"Charles Xavier entrusted me with his dream, and it does not ask you to love or embrace my kind as your own. But merely to accept that this i a shared world with a common future and that my kind, like yours, have the right to live in it" is a line that could not have been more relevant unless it had been spoken 90 years ago in the 1930s. as a Trans person it was Jarring hearing those words so overtly and feeling for the first time that a piece of media was taking a stance and making its stance as clear cut as possible. it was the most genuine set of words i have ever heard, and i had never felt so empowered in my life. I dont think ill ever forget that feeling. i have that clip saved on YT so that whenever i need it, the X-Men will be there to remind me that i do have a place in this world, and i have a right to be here as does everyone else, differences be dammed.
the show did not need to do this for me to be a fan. i have always loved the X-Men. and the new art style and the way the Characters use their abilities both on and off the battle field is so creative and awesome that this show already had me hooked.
what was just as Jarring as Magnetos words was my internal reaction to hearing the word mutant and freak used as a slur by Friends of Humanity members. because both are things i have been called in real life. those aren't stand in slurs or backhanded comments swapped out. they ARE MY experience with bigotry. and every time i heard those words being used to describe me as if i wasn't a person, it hurt sure, but I'm not ashamed of who i am. i know I'm different. i don't need the world to constantly remind me and treat me as such. and whenever it does it just proves to me why stories like X-Men are important. because they are real in the ways that matter. Sentinels aren't real, i (unfortunately cant shoot lasers from my eyes). but the injustice, the bigotry, the hate thrown at the Trans and wider Queer community IS real. and were not the only community to face this.
i dont even know WHY I'm saying all this but i felt compelled to. to have my voice heard even if its just as a blur on someone phone as they scroll through a YT comment section. But i think that just speaks more to the affect this show and in particular that quote i started with had on me. i will never forget that. which is saying something because ask phone, i forget thing very easily lol.
animation for comic shows are the best way to go in my opinion overall. it's limitless in what you can creatively do. quality animation and story telling will do marvel wonders going forward.
Hope they give us a Spider-Man cameo
I need for them to animate Excalibur. do the whole cross time caper arch just for how fun it is. but they should update it some tho, send the team to some more pertinent IP settings like a Hogwartz ripoff or One Piece etc. but yeah...there legit should be an animated show for almost every Marvel title such as Exiles etc. it's 2024 already and probably a bit past time when I would have thought this would have started.
It’s great it sort of feels like invincible in a good way
What if One Man's Worth's Wolverine and Storm, survived in Xmen the Animated Series ? 🤔
Extra Nice
❤️💛💛❤️
What if wolverine was lord of the vampires was my favorite What If comic. It was so good.
