Yeah, but the original show kind of did he and Jean and dirty. They had such great potential of characters and they were honestly the worst and most obnoxious characters in the original series
I love how extra she is with it. "Winds, heed my call, disperse these hooligans unto the four corners of the world and cool our sorrow with your gentle breeze."
@@MarkadownI love it because she speaks to the weather as if she’s asking it for favors and not commanding it. We all know she can CONTROL it but she’s so ethereal she views the weather as an equal and something to respect rather than control like say Thor
His power is lame 😂. Blindside him and he's dead lol. Btw never understood how his optic blasts hurt sinister ... its a concussive blast not a laser and sinister is resistant to concussive forces yet everytime cyclops blasts him in the cartoon he's got a huge hole in his abdomen or chest smh.
@@TheGodfather-bm3ow Blindsiding most mutants would work. But they can't all destroy a large building by looking at it wrong, lol. Well it's a concussive blast made of energy from a weird other dimension. But originally Mr Sinister was going to be a product of Scott's imagination/nightmares for some reason, so that's why he initially was able to hurt him.
Took no time at all to give Cyclops more justice than any movie has, and also make Storm the omega level goddess she is just a delightful slap of nostalgia, and unrealistic hair expectations like what is Magneto's hair routine to get a mane like that?
OMEGA LEVEL THREAT DETECTED.......OMG I lost my mind at that. Show the masses what an Omega level mutant can do Strom!!!!!!!! Also loved they gave her best haircut ever from all the comics the Mohawk ponytail combo! And like a lot of people this show, along with amazing spider man and Batman the animated series, got me into comics and I'm forever thankful
so are they going to explain the limits of morph's powers or are they going to be so op as to be world-breaking? i mean morph not only can look like other mutants but pretty much manifest their power set? c'mon now. 😄
@@vinsanity40k Morph can only use the physical abilities of the mutant he copies. For example, if he transforms into Cyclops, he can't shoot beams from his eyes. Think of him like the T-1000 from Terminator 2.
@@vinsanity40k i presume he can only mimic any power rooted in anatomy. Wings, muscle, limbs. But more complex organs or kinesis being beyond him. Although he seems to be able to do biological metal.
Honestly I never liked him that much in the original show - I found him to be, as Morph said in this episode, "the most boring man in the world" - but I'm impressed at how much the new show makes me like him. I don't even really like him that much in the comics, although I haven't read much X-Men to begin with.
yup. You always have to be careful with Scott because he is supposed to be cool but he is ALSO supposed to be a dick. That's not a mischaracterization. He's just supposed to be so unbelievably competent that most of them respect him despite the fact that he's kind of a dick. He's also generally right, which helps.
Storm is basically the Avatar. Electrokinesis, hydrokinesis, aerokinesis, etc. When you see it come from the sky like that, she's using it as a theme because that's how she knows how to use it. Like Jean using her hands for telekinesis. She doesn't need to make lightning come from the sky because we see it come from her hands.
it’s actually weather modification or Atmokinesis. So it specifically requires her to be able to manipulate weather or rather atmosphere. Not sure if that could be modified to be just simply around her , I guess so? It’s why I’ve always been interested what her powers would be like outside of earth, so space I’d guess she’d be powerless given the lack of atmosphere but on an alien world? Does she control the native weather? Whereas Thor can call lightning (thunder 🙄) anywhere and from within as he’s obviously the literal god of it. I just can imagine Storm somewhere on a random alien planet controlling some sort of awesome energy tornado 😂

Adam, I’m with you. I noticed the lips and found them jarring on Magneto. My sister on the other hand, didn’t notice them at all and thought I was nuts when I pointed it out.
I noticed this, too, Adam. But we are products of our time, most likely. When we were growing up, the only time you saw color around a cartoon character's mouth it was supposed to read as lipstick, and since that is _generally_ only on women, it was always an attention grabber when they do it with men. You are right, in the 90s the men's lips would be the exact same shade as the rest of their face, so they didn't have _noticeable_ lips back then

Man, I cannot wait for tomorrow’s reaction to episode 2. Never watched the original series (I was born after 2000), but I’ve been enjoying this show a lot so far!
I... was not born after 2000, but I was young enough that I also didn't watch the original series. I grew up with X-Men Evolution in the early 2000s, so there are some things about this that I had to do a double-take on 😂 Like Rogue's and Wolverine's voices, and the fact that Rogue can just... always fly? (I've Googled it, I get it now, but that was a *huge* shock to me!) But I agree, the first two episodes of this were *great* so far!
Weather control Storm is one of the most powerful mutants on Earth and has demonstrated a plethora of abilities, most of which are facets of her power to manipulate the weather. Storm possesses the psionic ability to control all forms of weather over vast areas. She has been able to control both terrestrial and extraterrestrial ecosystems. She can modify the temperature of the environment, control all forms of precipitation, humidity, and moisture (at a molecular level), generate lightning and other electromagnetic atmospheric phenomena, and has demonstrated excellent control over atmospheric pressure. She can incite all forms of meteorological tempests, such as tornadoes, thunderstorms, blizzards, and hurricanes, as well as mist. She can dissipate such weather to form clear skies as well. Her precise control over the atmosphere allows her to create special weather effects. She can create precipitation at higher or lower altitudes than normal, make whirlwinds travel pointing lengthwise in any direction, channel ambient electromagnetism through her body to generate electric blasts, flash freeze objects and people, coalesce atmospheric pollutants into acid rain or toxic fog, and summon wind currents strong enough to support her weight to elevate herself (or others) to fly at high altitudes and speeds. Her control is so great that she can even manipulate the air in a person's lungs. She can also control the pressure inside the human inner ear, an ability she uses to cause intense pain. She can bend light using moisture in the air and her manipulation of mist and fog to appear partially transparent, and in later comics, nearly invisible. Storm has also demonstrated the ability to control natural forces that include cosmic storms, solar wind, ocean currents, and the electromagnetic field. She has demonstrated the ability to separate water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen via electrolysis, allowing her to breathe underwater. While in outer space, she is able to affect and manipulate the interstellar and intergalactic media. Storm can alter her visual perceptions so as to see the universe in terms of energy patterns, detecting the flow of kinetic, thermal and electromagnetic energy behind weather phenomena and can bend this energy to her will. Storm has been shown to be sensitive to the dynamics of the natural world, and her psionic powers over the weather are affected by her emotions. One consequence of this connection to nature is that she often suppresses extreme feelings to prevent her emotional state from resulting in violent weather. She has once sensed a diseased and dying tree on the X-Mansion grounds, detected objects within various atmospheric mediums-including water, and sensed the incorrect motion of a hurricane in the Northern Hemisphere and the gravitational stress on the tides by the Moon and Sun as well as the distortion of a planet's magnetosphere. Storm can view the Earth as weather patterns, and is able to precisely recognize her geographic position through interpretations of these patterns. Storm's mutant abilities are limited by her willpower and the strength of her body. Sentinels have considered Storm an Omega-level mutant on one occasion.
and thankfully most of this is generally ignored because if she was this way in every issue the stories would be awful. X-men are generally at their best when they're not planet crackers. Even the ones who can be such as Jean and Iceman either don't have access to their full power most of the time or lack the drive to take advantage of it. Storm lacks both of those limitations so written at what they've now decided is her full potential she's an absolute story breaker. This in no way improves the stories. Cyclops and Wolverine are actually perfect examples of this. Very cool, very capable, but decidedly NOT 'omega level threats.' Which is absolutely for the best. Being significantly stronger than all your opponents or even, you know, the laws of nature, is not a way to make good dramatic fiction. Superman has struggled with this for decades and he's actually WEAKER than what they've now decided is Storm's upper limit. When SUPERMAN is easier to challenge than your character, you've gone too far.
@@Cream-2128 1. No they don't. The whole point of heroes is overcoming impossible odds. Beating their enemies by just being stronger than them is generally the worst way to do superheroic fiction. 2. Even if you choose to do that, sure, but make it temporary. Have them burn themselves out, or have a power boost, or whatever else. Having characters be physical gods at any given moment is AWFUL for storytelling.
@@KaleRylanlmao no heroes have way more things going than that. Hell superman is way stronger than 80 percent of his enemies. Also the X-men have always had different power levels and yes different level of villains. Most of their members can punch above their weight class and have specific powers to help the stronger ones in certain situations.
@@Cream-2128 Using Superman, a character famously disliked for having weak stakes because he's too strong and hard to effectively challenge, as a defense here is a choice.
I never really comment but just want to say I have watched you guys from the beginning. So happy for the success and y'all are definitely the best reaction channel out there.
As fantastic as that scene was, it highlights a constant plot hole with scott's powers which is they only have recoil if a writer decides it's worth it for them to have recoil in that scene and even then only the amount of recoil that is useful for the scene. Honestly it's such a time-honored inconsistency of the character that I've long thought they should just say one element of his powers coming from another dimension is that he can control how much of the recoil acts on his body vs being shunted into that other dimension.
@@KaleRylanconsidering it doesn't seem like they will take the time to explain it, I am willing to believe on the headcanon that Scott can simply control the concentration and power of his Concussive Blast, making it stronger to push him or weaker to not do so. A flawed headcanon, but a believable one.
ArcAngel cameo, Cyclops being creative with powers, Morph being hilarious, cheesy 90s dialogue, great animation, music, and Rogue RKO was all perfection.
I love that Storm is so dang powerful, she announces that she is a total badass just before she actually proves how much of a goddess she is. Theyve nailed this reboot, it feels like next level of the original show.
Goddamn this show is the perfect balance of retro animation and gorgeous visuals. It's so cool and well written. And everyone is hot. Including the President. I heard soneone say they used 3D models to animate it, and I gotta say, if that's true then it's the best use of 3D animation mixed with 2D I've probably ever seen.
Jay: Wanna know what happens to a toad when it’s struck by lightning? Adam: What does happen to a toad when it’s struck by lightning, Jay? An Interrupting Cow: It Croaks!!
Storm MADE glass out of sand so that she could BREAK it and send SHARDS OF GLASS into a Tornado. I don’t think this can be stated enough. Storm is OP and I love it.
what i love about this audience is that we can just talk about how amazing this show is without the incredibly annoying fake fans crying about wokeness
Never has a show so perfectly captured the tone and pacing of its original incarnation~ And yes Adam, the lips are a little weird looking on the characters that didn’t have them originally, I don’t get why they were added on some characters and not others…
The formula for this. We just need it everywhere. Star wars, marvel, DC you name it. I want them to continue with this and remake all the 90s classics.. it would be the best thing to reignite the comic book genre. They deserve a medal. Iv not enjoyed anything disney has made in ages. But this.... is nerdgasmic
How my 31 year old self ran into the living room to hurry my partner in to see storm in all her goddess glory be the Omega level threat! I was 11 all over again, wow !!
During the Sentinel beatdown, I was laughing maniacally, just loving every second. In fact, by the end of episode 2, I cried some happy tears. Just perfection.
@@jamesberry664 Not at all! Man, it was like seeing the opening sequence to Deadpool all over again: Maniacal, chaotic, completely unexpected attack moves (i.e., car cigarette lighter in mouth), and hilarious. Dude, when I saw Gambit light up Wolvie's claws, I totally cried.
@@themetalchicai hear ya man. i stayed up all night. I was so energised. Gave me insomnia haha. It got me emotional at points too. I cant stop showing of storm melting the desert. I always moan at mates about the state of media these days, with the star wars debacle and what not. Im just so happy to have found something thats got me hooked like invincible but is close to home like this and they havnt completely butchered something i love.... it a big bonus
I had an omega level nerdgasm. I've watched this 5 times now and....... and I've watched storm blend the desert more times than i can count. I need more and i need it now!
This show single handedly made cyclops badass like he was suppose to be! N they established Storm is an Omega level mutant!❤. It's a great time to be alive!
Oh this was the reaction I was waiting for. I love that they had Cyclopes using his optic blast to move himself in the beginning as kind of a setup (chekhov’s optic blast?) for his use of it at the end.
Welcome back! my X-MEN fans!...it's the 90s all over again....Love the new theme music....with the electric guitar riff! OMG Cyclops' optic blast superhero landing was EPIC! The music when Storm goes OMEGA-LEVEL, was goosebumps and chills! They're BACK n BETTER BABY!
I've been reading X-men for years, and not once has it ever occurred to me that Cyclops could use the force of his optic blasts to move around like that. Sweet baby Jesus...
More like when they extrapolate how you could USE concussive blasts. They almost never make the heat mistake in cartoons simply because they don't want to show him setting people on fire. So 'hitting' things with them is pretty consistent. If anything, mediocre comic writers are more likely to show him burning something because they forget for a scene. It was fantastic to see them actually think about what one could do with a concussive blast though aside from the simple 'it doesn't set people on fire' thing which is really just a conceit not to make his blasts a rated-R power.
I saw an interview with either a writer or director as he watch this and mentioned that the first two episodes were “slow moving” 😮If thats true, this show is gonna soar!
for December 2024: "Hey Santa, this is Daniel, I just wanted to thank you for gifting me the wonderful moment of seeing Adam and Jay reacting to wolverine running with Gambit on his back and destroying a Sentinel with Gambit's explosive adamantium claws, that was pretty good"
9:25 "Where's the Jamiroquai?!" An age old question. Like what is the sound of one hand clapping? Anyone younger than a certain age probably thought you started talking in tongues. But i was there. I saw that music video. It was real.
This was just pure greatness. I have no love whatsoever for the animated series but I LOVED this, and seeing the X-Men rock. This is perfect X-Men. Oh, and Jay calling Adam a pervert is the icing on the cake.
Somebody on the writing team is a self-admitted Cyclops main, and it SHOWS.

She can create precipitation at higher or lower altitudes than normal, make whirlwinds travel pointing lengthwise in any direction, channel ambient electromagnetism through her body to generate electric blasts, flash freeze objects and people, coalesce atmospheric pollutants into acid rain or toxic fog, and summon wind currents strong enough to support her weight to elevate herself (or others) to fly at high altitudes and speeds. Her control is so great that she can even manipulate the air in a person's lungs. She can also control the pressure inside the human inner ear, an ability she uses to cause intense pain. She can bend light using moisture in the air and her manipulation of mist and fog to appear partially transparent, and in later comics, nearly invisible.
Storm has also demonstrated the ability to control natural forces that include cosmic storms, solar wind, ocean currents, and the electromagnetic field. She has demonstrated the ability to separate water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen via electrolysis, allowing her to breathe underwater. While in outer space, she is able to affect and manipulate the interstellar and intergalactic media. Storm can alter her visual perceptions so as to see the universe in terms of energy patterns, detecting the flow of kinetic, thermal and electromagnetic energy behind weather phenomena and can bend this energy to her will.
Storm has been shown to be sensitive to the dynamics of the natural world, and her psionic powers over the weather are affected by her emotions. One consequence of this connection to nature is that she often suppresses extreme feelings to prevent her emotional state from resulting in violent weather. She has once sensed a diseased and dying tree on the X-Mansion grounds, detected objects within various atmospheric mediums-including water, and sensed the incorrect motion of a hurricane in the Northern Hemisphere and the gravitational stress on the tides by the Moon and Sun as well as the distortion of a planet's magnetosphere. Storm can view the Earth as weather patterns, and is able to precisely recognize her geographic position through interpretations of these patterns. Storm's mutant abilities are limited by her willpower and the strength of her body. Sentinels have considered Storm an Omega-level mutant on one occasion.
and thankfully most of this is generally ignored because if she was this way in every issue the stories would be awful. X-men are generally at their best when they're not planet crackers. Even the ones who can be such as Jean and Iceman either don't have access to their full power most of the time or lack the drive to take advantage of it. Storm lacks both of those limitations so written at what they've now decided is her full potential she's an absolute story breaker. This in no way improves the stories.
Cyclops and Wolverine are actually perfect examples of this. Very cool, very capable, but decidedly NOT 'omega level threats.' Which is absolutely for the best. Being significantly stronger than all your opponents or even, you know, the laws of nature, is not a way to make good dramatic fiction. Superman has struggled with this for decades and he's actually WEAKER than what they've now decided is Storm's upper limit. When SUPERMAN is easier to challenge than your character, you've gone too far.
@@KaleRylanthey literally fight a ton of enemies and sometimes friends where they need super powerful members of the team.
@@Cream-2128 1. No they don't. The whole point of heroes is overcoming impossible odds. Beating their enemies by just being stronger than them is generally the worst way to do superheroic fiction.
2. Even if you choose to do that, sure, but make it temporary. Have them burn themselves out, or have a power boost, or whatever else. Having characters be physical gods at any given moment is AWFUL for storytelling.
@@KaleRylanlmao no heroes have way more things going than that. Hell superman is way stronger than 80 percent of his enemies. Also the X-men have always had different power levels and yes different level of villains. Most of their members can punch above their weight class and have specific powers to help the stronger ones in certain situations.
@@Cream-2128 Using Superman, a character famously disliked for having weak stakes because he's too strong and hard to effectively challenge, as a defense here is a choice.
I never really comment but just want to say I have watched you guys from the beginning. So happy for the success and y'all are definitely the best reaction channel out there.
Great reaction, and glad to see that I’m not the only one who makes their own lyrics to the theme!
Strongest neck in the MCU. Brilliant
As fantastic as that scene was, it highlights a constant plot hole with scott's powers which is they only have recoil if a writer decides it's worth it for them to have recoil in that scene and even then only the amount of recoil that is useful for the scene. Honestly it's such a time-honored inconsistency of the character that I've long thought they should just say one element of his powers coming from another dimension is that he can control how much of the recoil acts on his body vs being shunted into that other dimension.
@@KaleRylanconsidering it doesn't seem like they will take the time to explain it, I am willing to believe on the headcanon that Scott can simply control the concentration and power of his Concussive Blast, making it stronger to push him or weaker to not do so. A flawed headcanon, but a believable one.
Do not forget Gargoyles as the other cartoon that changed the game
Storm glasses the sand with lightning and then uses tornado's to pull it and the sentinals up in to the air where the glass rips them to pieces. Cool!
Jay: "turn this shit up" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
love you guy, its a blast rewatching it with your comments XD
"Hear me out... what if we DIDN'T make Cyclops suck?"
Adam's mutant power = noticing the contours of animated lips.
ArcAngel cameo, Cyclops being creative with powers, Morph being hilarious, cheesy 90s dialogue, great animation, music, and Rogue RKO was all perfection.
I relate to Jays playground story so much!! I was a young Kitty Pride 😂😂😂
Memories 🎤🎤🎤
...how many times did you try to run through the jungle gym and slam into a wall? 😂
@@IceMetalPunk once lol and then I realized my big brother was a jerk lol 😂
I love that Storm is so dang powerful, she announces that she is a total badass just before she actually proves how much of a goddess she is. Theyve nailed this reboot, it feels like next level of the original show.
Wild rewatching this after finishing the series. This first ep really hits different now.
Right? So much in Jean's vision!
Goddamn this show is the perfect balance of retro animation and gorgeous visuals. It's so cool and well written. And everyone is hot. Including the President. I heard soneone say they used 3D models to animate it, and I gotta say, if that's true then it's the best use of 3D animation mixed with 2D I've probably ever seen.
I been waiting all week for this
“Omega Level Threat Detected.”
Literal chills!!
“Did you see their lips?!” Put that on a T-shirt now! 😂
Jay: Wanna know what happens to a toad when it’s struck by lightning?
Adam: What does happen to a toad when it’s struck by lightning, Jay?
An Interrupting Cow: It Croaks!!
Storm MADE glass out of sand so that she could BREAK it and send SHARDS OF GLASS into a Tornado. I don’t think this can be stated enough. Storm is OP and I love it.
She's an omega level mutant, so yeah.
She is a mighty goddess queen.
what i love about this audience is that we can just talk about how amazing this show is without the incredibly annoying fake fans crying about wokeness
So excited to see you guys. I, so excited to watch this. Thanks for taking the time and effort, hugs!
When I started this episode I went "OK, this won't be the same as the original" and by the end I was like "that hit the nostalgia button!"
Never has a show so perfectly captured the tone and pacing of its original incarnation~
And yes Adam, the lips are a little weird looking on the characters that didn’t have them originally, I don’t get why they were added on some characters and not others…
The formula for this. We just need it everywhere. Star wars, marvel, DC you name it. I want them to continue with this and remake all the 90s classics.. it would be the best thing to reignite the comic book genre. They deserve a medal. Iv not enjoyed anything disney has made in ages. But this.... is nerdgasmic
How my 31 year old self ran into the living room to hurry my partner in to see storm in all her goddess glory be the Omega level threat! I was 11 all over again, wow !!
Iv shown everybody! Im like a kid!
The strongest neck. lmao. That's actually his mutant powers. Kidding aside, It's good that they're giving cyclops the recognition he deserves.
During the Sentinel beatdown, I was laughing maniacally, just loving every second. In fact, by the end of episode 2, I cried some happy tears. Just perfection.
I'm not the only one 🤓
@@jamesberry664 Not at all! Man, it was like seeing the opening sequence to Deadpool all over again: Maniacal, chaotic, completely unexpected attack moves (i.e., car cigarette lighter in mouth), and hilarious. Dude, when I saw Gambit light up Wolvie's claws, I totally cried.
@@themetalchicai hear ya man. i stayed up all night. I was so energised. Gave me insomnia haha. It got me emotional at points too. I cant stop showing of storm melting the desert. I always moan at mates about the state of media these days, with the star wars debacle and what not. Im just so happy to have found something thats got me hooked like invincible but is close to home like this and they havnt completely butchered something i love.... it a big bonus
Holy shit her visions hits differently after finishing the season!
You guys singing the intro 😂😂😂 sensational
That's the part of the video I couldn't take lol
It feels SOOOOOOOO good to be back in the world of mutants. And that scene of storm just flexing on the sentinels *chef's kiss*
I had an omega level nerdgasm. I've watched this 5 times now and....... and I've watched storm blend the desert more times than i can count. I need more and i need it now!
This show single handedly made cyclops badass like he was suppose to be! N they established Storm is an Omega level mutant!❤. It's a great time to be alive!
Easily the nerdiest "CRANK THAT SH*T UP" in history. And the best.
Beast: I’m
Roberto: blue very blue
Me: dabudi Dabu doo
19:20 To Adam: "Animation Nerd." 😅
I watch a lot of Corridor Crew stuff, I picked a few things up 😎
This show had no right to go so hard. absolutely bonkers amazing.
It’s been worth the wait, such a good pair of episodes! Can’t wait for episode 3.
"lip weirdo" HAHAHAHA I about died.
I'm gonna go rewatch it for the 5th time now. I love it so much! It's like being a kid again just for a little bit.
Rogue slithering in out of nowhere!!! Oh no it’s an RKO!!!!
Oh this was the reaction I was waiting for. I love that they had Cyclopes using his optic blast to move himself in the beginning as kind of a setup (chekhov’s optic blast?) for his use of it at the end.
you guys had me at the intro! I was doing the same and it was cranked.
So glad to see this reaction ! This series is so good
Welcome back! my X-MEN fans!...it's the 90s all over again....Love the new theme music....with the electric guitar riff! OMG Cyclops' optic blast superhero landing was EPIC! The music when Storm goes OMEGA-LEVEL, was goosebumps and chills! They're BACK n BETTER BABY!
YALL NAILED THE INTRO FREESTYLE 😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I was waiting for you 2 to react to this! Glad the wait is finally over
I've been reading X-men for years, and not once has it ever occurred to me that Cyclops could use the force of his optic blasts to move around like that. Sweet baby Jesus...
You know the creators know these characters very well. When Cyclops optical blast are depicted as concussive and not heat based.
More like when they extrapolate how you could USE concussive blasts. They almost never make the heat mistake in cartoons simply because they don't want to show him setting people on fire. So 'hitting' things with them is pretty consistent. If anything, mediocre comic writers are more likely to show him burning something because they forget for a scene. It was fantastic to see them actually think about what one could do with a concussive blast though aside from the simple 'it doesn't set people on fire' thing which is really just a conceit not to make his blasts a rated-R power.
5:45 yes, that uniform is probably the best version they've used for him.
Making a cyclone of glass and lightening to shred those sentinels was, woooo baby
12:24 welp there goes another X-Jet
Wait, how many times did they lose their jet?
I saw an interview with either a writer or director as he watch this and mentioned that the first two episodes were “slow moving” 😮If thats true, this show is gonna soar!
That intro made me feel like a kid again. It still kicks ass.
i got my aquaman trident and went into guitar mode. it felt like HOME! and kudis on the "lyrics version" of the intro. iChuckle.
for December 2024: "Hey Santa, this is Daniel, I just wanted to thank you for gifting me the wonderful moment of seeing Adam and Jay reacting to wolverine running with Gambit on his back and destroying a Sentinel with Gambit's explosive adamantium claws, that was pretty good"
so why did we need a new remix of the intro when we had u all along lmao
9:25 "Where's the Jamiroquai?!" An age old question. Like what is the sound of one hand clapping? Anyone younger than a certain age probably thought you started talking in tongues. But i was there. I saw that music video. It was real.
They have returned! In HD!!!
"They didn't have lips in the 90s" - Adam Lash, 2024
Some people in the writing / animstion have played a lot of Marvel Vs. Capcom, because they show off a lot of Cyclop's moveset!
I love the shirt but I think jubilee says "Does a Mall Babe eat chili fries" the baby is you combining babe eat
Bro if rogue was not a mutant she’d definitely be a WWE fighter I swear.
This was just pure greatness. I have no love whatsoever for the animated series but I LOVED this, and seeing the X-Men rock. This is perfect X-Men. Oh, and Jay calling Adam a pervert is the icing on the cake.
any live action cyclops needs to fight like this
Wolverine saying BUB just ... Uh ..😂❤
