Has X-Men '97 Made You Read More X-Men Comics?
Yes it did
I think it will! Before this I only watched the movies (and loved them) but I know the conics have a wider cast that I felt intimidated by where to jump in. Even though I love teams I find it less daunting to read single hero stories.
Would you do a video of best Xmen comics to jump in on?
I started reading the Krakoa era because of the show.
Yes
Yes , the beginning of the Morrison run 🖖🏾
Apparently Magneto’s secondary mutantion is the ability to survive in the North Pole in his banana hammock lol
Blah blah electromagnetic shield over his body blah blah blah
Didn't he fall into the Earth's core and de-age like 30 years? I seem to remember a story where that happened.
Isn't he Polish? I think thats just his blood.
@@Juicelee777ssj IIRC comics he got de-aged in I think a Defenders story by his creation Alpha the Ultimate Mutant (wish someone'd do something with that guy) and in the 90's show he was restored when falling into Earth's Magnetic field after Fabian Cortez betrayed him.
Nah. It's his flawless DILF energy.
Nightcrawler and wolverine teaming up was badass
Todo and yuji
The teleportation from wolverine's pov was dope
@@nuttah310 If Logan hadn't been with them, I would have half expected Kurt to just dump the Sentinel in between mid teleport.
Always here for a grinning Nightcrawler emulating Douglas Fairbanks!
The only thing that could make that scene more perfect is the completion of the classic beer buddy trio. They needed Colossus to add a Fastball Special in there.
Rogue's kick is from Marvel vs. Capcom fighting game and Cyclops propelling himself with his lasers is from that too.
After that Spider-Man cameo, my hopes for a Spider-Man ‘98 series percolated lol
If that was a polite sneak peak the character design was perfect.
It's been discussed, leading to a go, spider man 98
alas, I have fears for the sake of this world
The Nightcrawler/Wolverine fight scene was phenomenal. The POV of traveling through a Bamf was stunning (and unexpected).
I like what they do with Bastion in this show, that fact that he isn't Master Mold and Nimrod just combined by a magical artifact, but instead their "evolution" and/or "successor", but also the symbolism that his character have, that at some point in the future Nimrod/Master Mold come to the conclusion that in order to eliminate the mutant race, they have to evolve too, and kinda become some sort of "synthetic mutant" by having that pink goo traveling to the past and infecting the person who's end becoming Bastion's father, transforming said person into the 1st prime sentinel and then with his mother having him, having Bastion, living the same life as any other mutant, first being a normal human but at some point during his teen years, start awakening his powers, but also his hate for mutant, kinda like saying: "In order to destroys what i hate, i have to become what i hate".
I got absolute chills when Professors X said “ To Me My X-Men “ …Dr. Doom , Baron Zemo, Omega Red, Silver Samurai, Rachel Summers, a elderly Polaris, Spidey, & even Juggernaut via Morph Beau what are you doing to us …Love this series , Great Review, Keep Up The Outstanding Work Sasha 🖖🏾
I loved the up close framing of Magneto's face as he says "enough" - the visual storytelling is awesome -- really captures the feel of some of the best graphic novels on my shelves. The Wolverine-Nightcrawler team up was every kind of ice cream with a tub o whipcream and truck of fresh strawberries!! Delish
Totally. Bastion's voice is great same vibe as Evil Barry from Archer
It was a small little scene in the overall comic story, but I remember a poignant bit where some elderly bar owners were watching their rowdy patrons cheer on some anti mutant rhetoric on TV, but they don't. Because they were of Japanese descent, and they remembered a time, where they were considered the enemies and could be rounded up to cheers. It was a really interesting moment to someone that had never thought comics had anything to do with the real world to that point.
Only it wouldn't happen like that in real life. Physical appearances and the ability to mess up any ecosystem on the planet because you went on a bender and some bald guy couldn't "magically" inhibit your more destructive potential since he was playing footsies with his alien lover is a bit different.
"I have the power to kill everyone in the country, probably even more, without breaking a sweat but I won't because I'm a good guy. Really."
The part that annoyed me about Rogue "killing" Trask is that there was a telekinetic, a shapeshifter who can fly, and a teleporter all present and they just watched it happen.
The idea is that she did what everyone wanted......but wouldn't.
Like, I kinda get it. I wouldn't drop him, myself, but could I bring myself to save him?
@@SethRGray Jean most likely would, Nightcrawler 100% would.
@@illithidloreI mean could just be legit stunned in paralysis of “wtf is happening”
The fact that Magneto survived a concentration camp with a thought " it ain't going to get worse than this"
strapped up in a Bastion dungeon with a collar wrapped around his neck in a speedo🤣
"I can't sleep, been researching Joker" are truly famous last words.
The kinkiness' throughout the series would make Chris Claremont proud.
Techo-organics is surprisingly not touched upon X-Men besides Alpha Sentinels, Phalanx, Douglock. That's usually a Vision Ultron thing, and now Viv Vision.
CDB is so down to voice Spider-Man again, even though Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is right around the corner.
The Visions have varied a bit in how they are presented. Originally Vision's idea was that structurally he was identical to a human until you got down to the cells I think. Difference was he was made out of synthetic materials.
I wonder who the subs/doms in the room were cuz there’s a lot of stomping and bondage lol
you forgot Warlock and Cable himself as well.
Is it not quintessential to Cable, Strife, Deathlok, and Agent X, most of whom are on our against X-men and X-force teams?
@@atrution Cable it's essential for. Stryfe I think the point was he didn't have it, thus it wasn't hampering his powers like Cable. Deathlok I'm not sure if it's been part of him more recently, IIRC he was originally a Roxxan project from a universe where they killed all the superheroes. Agent X is more off of the artificial healing factor and stuff from Deadpool as far as I remember. But I am not up to date on a lot of this, and might be remembering things wrong.
The summer family vs robots was cool the music made it even more hype though
"You have a Porshe?" My response is "Cyclops had a porsche."
Magneto just killed a lot of people with that emp I mean imagine getting surgery, life support, any arial or ground vehicle that loss power.
That was an epic magneto scene, but kinda showing planes crash , people below a darken city screaming with cars crashing would had added to it. Not to mention the urgency to stop magneto since he declared war. I think after bastion is defeated and sinister run back into the shadows, magneto may be the final villain to defeat
I really hope that they show the consequences of that, like they did the aftermath of Genosha.
that's kinda why wolverine says magneto "declared war". in choosing to protect his own race , he has killed thousands of human bystanders
@@The_Mad_Titan_007Although, I'd say it was OZT that declared war. Sending a machine of death to slaughter an sovereign island nation is by any metric an act of war. Magneto went on the counteroffensive. Weird to me that Wolverine said this. Of all people, a man who has fought in many wars should realize that it started with the attack, not the counterattack. The state of war had begin.
That what you get for declare war on the mutants - they would strike back
The Nightcrawler fight scene was incredible, and the animation as a whole is really impressive. They really took their time and made it work, unlike some other animated shows coming out at the moment.
The fight scenes have been fantastic! Rouge is bringing the heat! The Summer family battling together! Nightcrawler & Wolverine 🔥
My boy Gambit!
I am watching X-Men '97 with my mom, who only has a passing knowledge of the X-Men from the few movies she has watched. And dang, she is absolutely thrilled by the show, and considers it some of the best TV stuff she's ever watched.
Bastion's making me want to cut my beard down again back to that goatee and soul patch he's rocking. I too love the week to week format.
Theo James as Bastion was giving me classic DCAU vibes when he delivered his lines. Loved it.
After watching episode 8, Bastion quickly became one of my favourite X-Men villains. Bastion is such a great villain in this show, and his plan is genius yet horrific to think about. His being a mix of Nimrod & Master Mold is wild. I love how charismatic he is with his belief that mutants supposedly take away humans' chances of the future, like a twisted, charismatic entrepreneur/salesman pitching his belief onto your average human middle-class guy, spreading more fear and insecurities about mutants to inevitably get them to act on said fears. Theo James is doing a SUPERB job in the role and like you said whenever I read a comic featuring him Ill just hear his voice. What's even worse is that there is a level of truth and meta-commentary from his philosophy and how he manipulates blue-collar class racism and the bigotry normal humans create based on their fears. Not to mention the fact that such a big part of the population are secretly Human Sentinel sleeper agents and didn't even know it is SCARY ASF! These things can also reproduce and extend the human population, making the implications even more terrifying.
It's funny how Gyrich teased this fate in the first episode, saying, *"Tolerance is extinction."* This basically means that whenever humanity starts tolerating mutants, humans will inevitably believe they'll go extinct; therefore, they believe that whenever mutants start tolerating humans, mutants need to go extinct, hence what happened in Genosha.
That Wolverine and Nightcrawler fight scene is some of the best Western animations I have ever seen in a comic book animated show like GODDAMN THAT SCENE WAS CLEAN ASF! I loved seeing the first-person perspective of what it's like to teleport with Nightcrawler.
I love how much of an overprotective mom Jean was to Cable, and seeing the Summers family fighting together was cool and cute to watch. Dom Torretto would be proud.
It was really surreal watching Dr Cooper become so numb to the death and misery humanity creates to make mutants suffer, ultimately coming to accept that Magneto was right about humans. Magneto also officially declared war on humanity after all the pain and death he witnessed and sending that EMP blast around the world, which no doubt caused hundreds of other deaths, like planes falling out of the sky, reactors losing power, and God knows what else was such a scary yet overpowered move!
BTW, THE CAMEOS IN THIS EPISODE ARE INSANE; WE GOT SPIDERMAN, OMEGA RED, DOCTOR DOOM, BARON ZEMO, SILVER SAMURAI, etc...
Bastion's interesting, because he's so clearly suppossed to mirror a mutant's experience. So how much is inborn programing directives from Sentinels, and how much was learned? I'd kinda like to find out. Even the way he restrains Val Cooper, using Metal, even if in a different way, reminded me of something Magneto would do.
Someone calculated from how many flights are in the air at any given time how many people Magneto would have killed just from plane crashes. Ranged from Hundreds of thousands, to over one and a half million.
Completely agree with your analysis! So very grateful for this show. The experience has been absolutely unbelievable and my childhood-self would have never thought this was possible! Huzzah!
I really love the weekly format coming back to streaming, I really love how episode can be have it's own focus and that creates discussion and hype but also gives shows a longer life knowing that we're talking about X-Men for 2 months now which is something completely lost with the binge format
I love how Jean uses psychometry in this series. If I was Val I would've let Magneto free too but not before we set up a play date. My safe word is Omega.
Sir, this is main!! 😆
I was looking out for your session/review of episode 7. Glad this is out now
"I think Bishop didn't return because he was like, 'Damn, I lost that baby!' " --Fantastic Frankey
For me, Magneto's response reminded me of Fatal Attractions... which is an arc that has some serious consequences for the Magneto/Professor X conflict and for Wolverine... I'm not sure I want them going that route... But it would be one hell of a season finale.
I CALLED IT!!!
I love learning about the old cartoon rules. Wolverine can only use his claws on robots, or Spider-man isn't allowed to punch anyone, etc.
Bishop is the future's worst babysitter! Or should we blame Beast for not fixing the time bracelet right? 🤔
What if you actually have to be wearing the bracelet for it to work properly?
@@scratch2086 probably, Storm and Wolverine had to each have one in the original cartoon
Trish Tilby as an omega broke my heart for Beast. Also I hope we get Karima Shapandar things
i remember collecting the operation zero tolerance comics when that storyline first came out.
Same here. I was hoping that we would get to see Bobby, Marrow or Cecilia Reyes but it's still great
I want Gambit back! I actually started catching up with him in the comics because I miss him so much! I want him and Rogue to get married like they did in the comics!
I actually hope he stays dead for the whole next season at least, preferably like two, so that when he inevitably does come back (maybe as the horseman?) it really rocks us
Best X-Men adaptation of all time. Nothing comes close. 10/10.GOAT status.
The thing about humans being replaced by mutants is, its always compared to what happened to Neanderthals. And Neanderthals weren't realy replaced, because a lot of humans share DNA with Neanderthals.
It's funny cause with Bastion's backstory, it just kept making me think about current concerns around A.I; even tho they were going the neanderthal e is for extinction route. When you do that, you really need to clarify which version you're going with, comic version or the actual combo of tribalism and interbreeding that happened. It makes a huge difference thematically.
The fight scenes are so good. As someone who grew up with the classic 92' show is how the fights always played in my head as child (even if the animation back then couldn't do it)
Yes! I've been looking forward to these reviews.
apparently bastion’s backstory is very akin to superman’s in man of steel; which kinda makes me wonder if zack snyder chose the wrong superheroes to make movies of
and also who’s gonna go “NYAAARRRRRRGGGHHHHH” while snapping cyclops’ neck
Wait a minute... You brought up the techno-organic virus. That's what Mr. Sinister was doing with Cable as an infant. This presumably at the same time that he's conspiring with Bastion. This tells me that Cable is the insurance policy against Bastion in some way.
Any responses, please don't spoil things. I am not familiar with the comics for this particular story, so I would like to experience it fresh here.
Extra videos, nice! Your pain is our gain, I suppose. But I do hope you feel better soon.
Did anybody notice that when Morph turned into Quicksilver he got his powers too. Is this a thing nowadays? I thought shapeshifters just looked like people, but could not duplicate abilities.
Loved Wolverine being dragged through Kurt's teleportation. So awesome!
Great video, your even analysis of the show, pointing out possible flaws and problems even while admiring how well the series is. And yeah…the political subtext leads to intense discussion online. Some of the “Magneto was Right” folks sound like Castro begging Khrushchev to fire the nukes.
Thank you for a very good video. I am enjoying this series and enjoying the story and character elements that are in it. I think you are an analysis of the episodes is spot on and look forward to seeing the last couple of episodes as well as more content from your channel.
thank you for being a comic book fan and doing these types of videos getting really sad how many grown men will pretend to be fans just so they can talk shit about stories they know nothing of
Shouldn't Captain America be trapped in a time vortex fighting Red Skull according to the Spider-Man episodes that aired in 1997?
They promised Theo James was playing a "fan favorite" character, but I don't recall Bastion having any fans before this cartoon.
Both Nina DaCosta & Trish Tilby betray mutants because they're not allowed to have any genuine human allies now that Moira MacTaggart died. Where's Stevie Hunter when they need her?
Why isn't Omega Red trapped at the bottom of the ocean in an atomic sub anymore?
One thing is for sure after this episode: Storm could learn one thing from Magneto, a guy who would not stop for a costume change when lives are on the line. "Pants!? The Master of Magnetism doesn't need pants! Not when the lives of my fellow mutants are in peril!", You know what I mean?
Storm can magical girl her outfit out of nothing apparently though. Come on Mags, pull trace iron particles out of the air, you can do it!
In the comics,Storm is a nudist. I do get why that aspect of her character didn't survive the transition between mediums,though.
@@brettwood1351 there are steel rivets and zippers on almost any pair of jeans around, and metal studs on bikers' leather jackets, Magneto could had put together kinda of a Terminator or Punk-rock look on his way to the North Pole, but he never even thought of it. Why? Because his mind was super focused in the moment, and very likely mad out of his freaking mind. "So angry I would fly nak3d to the North Pole and shut the whole wold down", that's a whole other level of being p1ssed off.
@@nishidohellhillsruler6731 ooh! It'd be SO cold though! Not to mention the dreaded "shrinkage" factor. I shudder to even picture such a scene...
Different situations. Storm already had the cactus, for one, and two their purpose in the narrative was different. Storm getting her groove back was meant to be triumphant and joyful, so there was time for a costume change. Mags' hightailing to the north pole nekkid was meant to convey urgency.
As a big Nightcrawler fan, I was so happy to see him use not two, BUT THREE SWORDS?!?!! That fight of him and Wolverine against the human sentinels isone of the best in the show. Can't wait to rewatch this when it's all out. And the original show.
Here's a thought. In the comics Sinister wanted Cable to use him as a weapon against Apocalypse. Could Sinister's alience with Bastian be part of his secret war against Apocalypse? Will the X-men's victory over Bastian be paving the way for the Age of Apocalypse?
It's possible. I have a theory that in this universe Sinister wanted Cable to be a stronger version of Bastion and that's why he infected him with the techno organic virus, so he would get someone with all of Bastion's powers plus omega level telepathy and telekinesis but it didn't work because Cyclops and Madelyne interrupted the process.
X-MEN 97 has no business being this good from Dizznee! 🤯🤔
My friend and i already have plans for the Saturday after the finale to rewatch it, im really looking forward to it, and I honestly can’t think of the last time i felt like that about a tv show.
Theo James always brings his A-game to his roles. He actually worked with the X-Men show runner in Nightmare of the Wolf!
Can you do a video on Cable? I didn't do a deep dive but I don't think Cable was actually a Summers yet when he first appeared on X-men 92. Which is so mind boggling to think about.
He was. Jean has a vision she doesn't quite understand (of a baby, if I remember correctly), and later when he's asking for some background on the past he says that he already knows all about Cyclops and Jean Grey.
I'm excited to watch this show every week. They have an excellent job so far!
“Finally, I have defeated the X-Men! …. Oh no, Galactus!” *loud chomp*
Galactus could do that with the X-Men around.
I’m LOVING the new series so much I’m rewatching the original since I had not seen it since it was originally aired.
Operation zero tolerance....Oh i remember that comic.
I love the return to week to week release. And definitely not only because I grew up with such.
That scene of Wolvy's POV of Nightcrawlers teleporting was a work of art. Excellently portrayed. But I find there were a couple missed opportunities:
1. Having Cap voiced by Brian Bloom from Earth's Mightiest Heroes (no offense to Josh Keaton; guess I'm still sore EMH was axed).
2. When helping Wolverine, Nightcrawler says, "No, my friend. Nine!" When he could've said, "Nein, my friend. Nine!"
Though, with Magneto pulling off that massive wave, I'm curious if they're going to try and adapt Fatal Attractions before the season is done--at least the part where Logan loses his adamantium, and he goes through Season 2 without it. It seems like a bit too much at this point, but this show has thrown it's share of curveballs before.
Loving everything about this show. My ONLY gripe was how they did Captain America. Who was that in that suit cause that was definitely not Steve Rogers?😅 Talking about “wE hAve tO Do tHiS bY tHe BoOk rOgUe, i HaVe tO wAiT tIlL ThE gOvErNmEnT sAyS i CaN gO” Bruh the real Steve Rogers would have already had Trask gift wrapped at the X mansion before Rogue even knew what was going on. There’s a whole movie about how Cap is like that what was this version doing?😂
That’s a problem I have with characters crossing over in comic books and comic book media. One usually looks bad if it’s not their title to prop up the other one.
I really want '90s Spider-Man cartoon reboot. I did not know that I needed it until this show came out. ❤❤❤
I've been really enjoying the series so far. I can't for the next episode to drop and find out what happens next.
I'm loving Bastion. The voice is just butter.
13:50 YESSS there is no excuse we saw theme fully use Spider-Man They have to do Spider-Man 98 at least after friendly neighborhood Spider-Man is over
I've always enjoyed "Magneto Was Right". Thing is that that doesn't have to mean that humans have to be exterminated but rather that:
a) assimilation is NOT a successful strategy --- i.e. showing systems you are not a threat doesn't result in acceptance, smashing and/or disregarding those systems is the path forward
b) when you are sufficiently othered (in extant systems) acceptance is always conditional.
*That* is why I love it. Not because of violence. Rather because no matter how one may disagree with methods I will argue to the ends of the earth that those two points are unassailably true.
Duuude, Cabel is to the EXTREME!!! Big muscles! Big guns! And so much EDGE! If you licked him you would literally taste the '90s.
Great video. Glad I found you. It's a nice change of pace from all the negativity on RUclips surrounding Marvel Comics. :)
Definitely these two episodes were solid. Would love to see the Spider-Man show from the 90s continue that show was so tight.
Without a doubt Ep 5 Remember it was a game changer in animation and the fall out of it is just as good
You should do a video about the og X-Men movie
If you caught the same cold me and everyone at my workplace did, it takes over a week to get over.
I'm really enjoying Bastion, but Theo James' phrasing keeps reminding me of his performance as Hector in the Netflix Castle Ania series.
Since we've gotten very little in the way of story & character development for Wolverine, I'm betting the last two episodes will feature him coming into conflict with Magneto, and Magneto ripping the adamantium from his bones, giving Wolverine a healing/comeback storyline for season two.
If you are activated as a Sentinel Prime, are you dead?
Wolverine and Nightcrawler were slicing them up left and right, but surely they can't just wake up from the EMP and go about their lives, right?
Meaning Bastion killed his own mum, Beast's almost girlfriend, Sunspot's butler, and an entire town.
Binged the show a few days ago.
I got really confused at the bit where Rogue gives the succ to Gyrich and then passes out(?) and wakes up in a different place with seemingly no new onfo, what was that about?
For me, this continuation has surpassed the original series. Loved the original as a kid, but it wasn’t as good as I remembered it being when I went back to rewatch it a couple of years ago. This show, though, is every bit as good as I remembered the original being! And yes please, Spider-Man 98! Christopher Daniel Barnes will forever be the voice of Spidey in my head!
I wasn't really planning on watching this series because I couldn't get into the old series as an adult. But your videos made me start watching a few weeks ago and now it'sva highlight of my week
It's good to see a series actually honor the original
Still can't believe that that's Theo James from DIVERGENT playing Bastion and quite well
Ikr!
Im loving it hope this incarnation of the X-Men makes it live action the 90s X-Men Slaps
Spiderman 97? Neh, I WANT SPECTACULAR SPIDEY
The Wiseman Curse means it'd get canceled again probably.
I just snatched my wig on so fast!!
Magneto was right!
i love nightclawer talk with jane
Hoping for techno-organics could mean maybe Danger coming out on side of the X-men initially, potentially with one of the human sentinels crashing into the danger room as an alternate origin.
I'm looking forward to when Mr. Sinister betrays Bastion, probably with some snide statement about how Bastion didn't want to try it his way. Even better if Mr. Sinister's plan of waiting until the force is fully assembled before unleashing it, was foreshadowing of his own plan and not just lecturing Bastion.
5:58 Alright, I think we've all been on the Internet long enough to know where this is going.😏
Writing about the joker at length due to or during sleep deprivation sounds in universe lol
I don't think I ever imagined Bastion sounding like Dylan McDermott, but on the other hand, being a genocidal pink cyborg makes him easier to distinguish from Dermot Mulroney.
Watching the most recent episode reminded me of the OMAC project from dc comics
For me, anything about techno-organic life in the Marvel Mutant Universe starts and ends with Warlock and Doug Ramsey, and I don't think the plot is going to introduce them any time soon. That and Bastion has potentially transformed hundreds (if not thousands) of people against their knowledge (food and drink) into killing machines for the sake of his agenda, including his mom and many of the people from his hometown. So if any questions or statements about this has to come up, it's probably going to the notion of what good is evolution when it's birthed from a hateful agenda and coupled with enslavement of one group to drive the other into extinction. But odds are that this is probably just a "hidden mine" scenario where the question is more "who can the X-Men/mutants trust if any human can be a Sentinel" than anything about a new step in evolution and the bigots who control who "evolves" and who doesn't.
This show has been great, I feel it is made for me, I was reading comics at the time of many of these stories and was a fan of the show growing up, my only complaint is some tales like Inferno were too condensed but still well done. Definitely am keen for Spider-Man version of this show, and bring back all the voice artists possible.
If.
Spider-Man gets revived.We need christopher to come back
It took 8 episodes, but we finally got some awesome Wolverine action. I'm hoping he's more involved in the next two episodes, mostly because I like Cal Dodd's voice acting so much.
This show is getting intense
They sometimes have examined the techno-organic evolutionary path and related themes, especially in x-men, mainly through the technarchy (kind of like the borg), the prime sentinels (such as omega sentinel), johny sublime's "sister" archaea (think that was her name) who in contrast to her sibling who could take over organic bodies, she took over cyborgs (a prime sentinel in fact if I remember correctly) etc. And that is only from xmen, other marvel franchises have had it as well to some degree (iron man, he stored copies of his personality in computer systems, or when hank pym and Ultron became a single being). It certainly is a good time to examine it though with the advances in AI and neural link, etc. If they do explore those ideas, i hope it's with nuance so that both the good and bad are presented.
This show is a complete home run. Best MCU entry since Infinity War. I love it. I wasn’t too impressed with No Way Home like many seemed to be. What do y’all think?
Is Sasha working a Wolverine color pallet? If so it looks awesome 😎
I think the point is that "mutant replacement" isn't necessarily a bad thing. Mutants, even if a different species and very much fundamentally people, while the prime-sentinels are in some way something less, restricted and limited by controlling programming directives. Also when you look at that future, all the human sentinels look the same and have the same power set, while all the mutants are different from each other. When you look at it you see what Bastion, and those signing up see as "fundamentally human" which is a kind of sameness, a kind of homogeneity, while the threat of the mutants is their differentness, their diversity, and thus their very existence will always be a threat to any status quo. The people willing to sign up are on some level willing to become something less than a person, if it means they will have an edge over what is different, over what can't be made to conform. Which works. Because that's what hate does. It makes you into something less. It's like a programming directive, that overrides your free will, it forces you into a mold, and forces your mind into one where you can't accept anything outside of it. In the end it makes you into a worse monster than the one you think you're fighting, real or not.
Your covering of this has me convinced that when they release the first season on DVD I'm going to buy it. Not going to sign up for the service to stream it, but after all the bad press it got in the lead up I'm happy to hear that most of it seems to have been a case of (mostly) empty virtue signaling and that the series is what was promised back when it was announced.
Are you and Amanda planning a crossover review for the finale? Which comics they used and where you think Season 2 is headed. If not, then please. Also, since it was important for the plot, "One Man's Worth" discussion.
