What I like most about this is how it not only respects Nightcrawlers beliefs in the Lord, but also brings forward the negative things people have done too. Nightcrawler isn't dismissive when Logan calls out all the bad things, but rather acknowledges it and how he felt but he chooses to be better and set the better example. Good and respectful writing!

@@asuas3115 I agree. It appears to me that church goers often conveniently (and completely) forget about Scriptures like Matthew 7:1 and Luke 6:24, which basically say the same thing (don't go judging others and calling them sinners when you're just as much a sinner as they are). Those are two of my favorite Scriptures because they remind me that it's all well and good that I'm a man of faith, but shoving it on others and acting like I'm better than them for having faith is not acceptable. This is why Christians have a bad reputation with secular folks, because we often bring it on ourselves by being more judgmental and closed minded than we're supposed to be and why I don't go to church, because that mentality really bothers me and I'd rather avoid it to maintain my sanity.
I'm an atheist but that didn't get in the way of me enjoying the heck out of this episode. Nightcrawler is such a fascinating character. An unholy looking man who found comfort with himself through faith despite others of the same beliefs hating him for his appearance and abilities. I appreciate how nuanced it was, especially for the 90s. Believing in the same God didn't make the others justified in their prejudice. All men and women alike are capable of being the monsters they think they're fighting against no matter what they believe in. I also LOVE how he lightened Wolverine's bitterness. Logan has been delt a bad hand but Nightcrawler made it possible for him to finally have a moment of peace and come to appreciate life in a more positive way.
I respect how objective you can be about this. Sadly, it really is a reflection on real life human history. Even the same faith could not bring people of different skin color together.
I love this scene because of all the diversity. Gambit isn’t down with it, Wolverine doesn’t want to go back, and Kurt is devote. It really is something special
@@Cerdo_asquerosoRogue at the end of this Episode see’s Logan in the church praying and she sheds a tear. She plays the “straight woman” in this episode, but ultimately rejects Gambit’s philosophy and emotionally connects to Logan’s seeking after God
@@jonharrison9222 yep. in the comic, it's Gambit who goes to this path after rejecting religion for similar reasons as Logan, but after finding an angel, he returns to the faith. He's later acknowledging his Catholic heritage many times.
When Wolverine mentioned how long he lived and puts his head down in shame mentioning that he did too much, it really sums up Wolverine’s character. He’s not ashamed of being a mutant, he’s ashamed of being a killer and wants a life outside of violence.
This shows that in the early nineties the entertainment industry was not a complete moral and spiritual wasteland. What a great portrayal of religion. I was a fan of the 1990s X-Men series. When I saw this episode I was very impressed.
@@Deciheximal wasteland is believing it's reasonable to ruin an actor or a writers carrier and social life just because they have a different political opinion than you . and that's what the modern western entertainment industry is all about.
Now this is just my opinion but if you listen very closely you will notice that Nightcrawler leads Logan not just to the Lord but rather he leads him “Back” to the Lord. For Logan did say he used to buy into all that meaning “Faith” and thanks to Nightcrawler’s guidance Logan was able to find his way back to the Lord.
@@lix7698 Honestly, a lot of times I wish we still had tv shows / movies like this 1 episode. I am a Catholic myself.

@@omacron5 literally I remember seeing this one as a child and it was very interesting to watch. They’d never make anything like this today. And don’t worry, it doesn’t sound pious. I’m Protestant but I appreciate and respect anyone who devotes their service to the work of the church and honoring God
And even outside of religious beliefs, this is such a powerful episode for Logan. A man who thought of himself as a killer and bitter war machine for decades on end….prayed.
Demonic appearance? Just how would anyone know what a demon looks like? Oh let me guess... Hollywood? Some red guy with horns on its head? Or some black guy?
Actually the writer who popularized the X-Men especially the new international members was Chris Claremont. John Byrne was also a great writer who developed these characters as well. Stan Lee got the wheel turning but these two masters of storytelling created and shaped the beloved characters and their characterization you see here.
And this is why Kurt is, has and always will be my personal favorite X-Men character. Despite being one of the most demonic looking superheroes, with a killer visual design and a power set capable of exacting revenge on the world he remains faithful and true to himself. I’m not saying everyone should believe in what Kurt does but maybe we can learn a thing or two from him about staying true to ourselves and our beliefs, and not compromising them because it’s convenient.
Even after all these years I still remember this. This was fantastic. The show was fantastic. We will never get another show that could address so many various topics
Nightcrawler was always a wise man. Being a badass X-Men helps too. It’s amazing how he managed to help Wolverine, who’s lived hundreds of years, who knew nothing but pain, as both a mutant, and as a soldier.
There was always a surprise to Wolverine. Unbelievably gentle one moment next well that goes without saying. If there was ever going to be one to lead Logan back to Christ it would be Nightcrawler. Logan just had that much respect for each other
@kwingsletsplays They definitely watered down and generalized Nightcrawlers' faith; into something more generalized and palatable to those who really don't tolerate it.
Mannnn dude this episode must be encoded into the golden album we sent into space that portrays what humanity is really like when we’re at our best. Bc right we’re far from this. I love this and need this so much in my shows. All the reactions that Wolverine displays are so real! And night crawler so educated on his deliveries so that his words don’t strike discord with him but harmonize with him so that he can understand the concept easier. There is no twisting of the truth only the revealing of it.
what made this genius is that Kurt wasn't doing what most modern Christians think is going to help someone (e.g. "if you don't get right, you're going to hell!"). in fact, when Logan shows resistance, Kurt never even chastises him-- he shows understanding and patience, and only ever asks Logan to give it a try on his own terms, when HE'S ready. that was likely what led Logan to do exactly that. it would absolutely be shown on TV today. it's not shoving faith in your face, it's not begging you to convert, it's just showing you what "good faith" (in EVERY sense of the word) can do. when Logan viewed Kurt's faith IN good faith, it allowed him some comfort in a world where such a thing is scarce and always has been for him.
You saying “most modern christians” is just from your own experience, not the full truth. The type of religious beliefs you speak of is simply a toxic believer, which is found in all religions, however you’d mostly see it in islam as evidenced by the influx of religious motivated terrorist attacks.
Powerful writing and powerful episode. I mean that more because of the chances these people took. And they took some chances alright. Can't wait to see what is in store for x-men 97 and x-men 92.
Honestly i am a Christian who has had his faith shaken, but i love how this doesn't say having faith is wrong, nor does it say its the only way. It shows what each character believes and doesn't shame them for it.
And im a Christian who has done amazing things and will continue to do so like protecting doubters like you Christ is the only way to heaven, thats what the Bible says. Without faith it’s impossible to please God, thats also what the Scripture says. If you dont agree, its not me you disagree with but God’s Word
Goes to show that faith is what matters most, as well as acts. If the faith is not there, the acts are meaningless. This is touching because it shows that Logan has not given up near as much as he claims he has. Kurt was able to reach even a salty old grump like him with his earnestness in his faith.
Im a muslim, and HELLA love the fact that Nightcrawler is a Christian and that he helped wolverine believe if not make peace with god, such a big ass W for Christians and religion in general
Nightcrawler is great example of a character portrayed right. He's a devoted member of his faith and loves his deity despite the fact he looks like the devil and never shows hatred to his enemies. Even when his mother admitted to abandoning him he told her he'd pray to god for strength to forgive her and pray he gives her strength to forgive herself. Dn!
@@markmagician2471 the only reason why I thought that (I haven’t read the comics) is bc on tv I always remembered Beast wanted to rid of his form until finding acceptance with it so that’s why I thought it was Beast
I wish more religious stuff was shown in shows like this. The faiths can be Abrahamic, Dharmic, Oriental, Pagan, Gnostic ect. As different as they all are, they still all ultimately have the same message, which is peace. You don't see religious stuff in kid's shows like this anymore and they really should bring them back.
Even as an atheist I love that ending with Logan. Kurt's also been one of my favorites forever, for his steadfastness and endurance in the face of what life has thrown at him. Plenty of people find other ways of being at peace or finding meaning in life without religion, but it's clear that for Logan - someone who actively rejects the things he wants in life - this is something he really wants. He just needed someone to show up who was just like him but hadn't given up.
I think this scene shows why Wolverine and Nightcrawler are such good friends. His respect for Nightcrawler was due to him being a good man who rejects violence and someone Logan could come to for consul. Logan may be violent in nature, but he’s ashamed of it, due to how death he witnessed, weather by old age or his own hand. Unlike most mutants, Wolverine is not ashamed of being a mutant, just that he was a killer and wants to have life outside of the blood shed.
*I purely love Kurt Wagner aka Nightcrawler , one of my many favorite archetypal beloved X-Men hero members /mutants ,along with Jean Grey aka Marvel Girl, Ororo Monroe aka Storm, Alison Blaire aka Dazzler, Remy Lebeau aka Gambit, Ann Marie aka Rogue Dr. Henry "Hank " McCoy aka Beast, Scott Summers aka Cyclops, and James " Logan " Howlett aka Wolverine for examples! As both an Aspie male goody two shoes nerd and Pentecostal Christian, I can purely relate to Kurt Wagner aka Nightcrawler in a lot of beautiful positive ways! This beautiful winsome blue and indigo teleporting Germanic mutant devil of a purehearted guardian angel proved that a rough and tough semi-feral roguish and resilient mutant superhero that underneath his adamantium claws and skeleton and rough edges lies a heart of gold that pleases God of Heaven and Earth!* 😇
Yup. But forcing “tolerance” by showing men kissing each other or pushing ideology that is left leaning is fine. Of course, that hypocrisy always being defended as being “different”.
@@nielsdejong Homophobe much? Anyway, I agree with you that the Woke movement is a largely annoying and overcorrecting response to many social injustices and I for one can't wait for it to calm down, if not go away entirely. But religion.....well that's just makebelief.....litteraly.
@@dartharaneus67 How is that making me a homophobe? I don't care if two homosexuals kiss each other, as long as it is in private, because kids absorb anything and in many cases homosexuality is a choice (that is just plain reality, as experience taught me).
Wolverine being who he is and how he suffered had a positive impact in God's plan, even though Logan suffered from his Mutation and was experimented on he used his abilities to save people and be a hero.
This was a very special episode where nightcrawler believed n god & I thought 4 sure that he'd joined the xmen but he didn't & I do remember n another episode he finally met his mother who disown him but he still forgave her
It's mandatory that in every X-MEN episode, wolverine's claws must come out like a whale that breaches from time to time. Like as though if those claws come out its apocalypse in the world.
Ill always love how of the most devilish looking characters are the most religious, the fact that Nightcrawler a blue devil figure and Daredevil working in a place called Hell's kitchen and yet both so devoted to religion is truly great character story telling and designs
I don't like religion in my escapism entertai- nah just kidding. I love this episode even tho I've only seen clips. It sends a message for those who are lost. That there is a place for everyone no matter who they are or what they've done. Damn, now I'm crying as I write this
My father who is very strongly Christian, would probably see me watching this scene and shut it off because "How dare a demon talk about God and be let into his Temple?" which really, I think, drives home my experience with Religion.
I would say a couple things: 1. I’m so sorry you’ve had a bad experience with religion. 2.Demon is what people call him bc they don’t understand the beauty that’s inside. They allow themselves to be dictated by the outward appearance and THAT is NOT the gospel which is what makes Nightcrawlers testimony so beautiful…while everyone else looked at him and called him a demon God looked at him and called him an angel. - "God takes the foolish things of the world to shame the wise and God has chosen what the world considers weak and uses them to shame the strong" - 1 Corinthians 1:27 3. No disrespect to your dad but thats not Godly grace that sounds a lot like religion. Religion judges Gods grace covers
@@kingdomcomemusic7927 I thankfully came to a similar conclusion. So instead of worshipping a religion, I'm just thankful to whoever is up there and lets me wake up each day.
@@SomeKindaHero117 There are corrupt politicians, yet we still believe in democracy. Banks mismanage money, yet we have enough faith to store our hard earned money with them. Don't let an unfortunate experience with a judgmental Christian rob you of a fulfilling experience with Christ. In an unpredictable world, He is the one sure thing.
“It was only stone and mortar, but the foundation that God has built in our hearts cannot be destroyed.” Next thing you know Wolverine is reading Isaiah 12 verses 1-2. Powerful stuff from a time before we turned against Him as a society.
Nightcrawler is a true Christian and great role model.

Christ is the only way to heaven, thats what the Bible says. Without faith it’s impossible to please God, thats also what the Scripture says. If you dont agree, its not me you disagree with but God’s Word
@jakeschwartz2514 should have been more clear and specified. I lost faith in the church. Not god.
As a Christian myself I agree
This is beautiful ❤✨️🙌
This is the greatest cartoon ever made and it would never be allowed to be made today.
There remaking it but it won't have the charm
@@MONKEYDZETSWell, now is out, is not the same charm, but definitely is a better and evolved charm
Oh man, why can't animation nowadays be like this 🥲
Goes to show that faith is what matters most, as well as acts. If the faith is not there, the acts are meaningless. This is touching because it shows that Logan has not given up near as much as he claims he has. Kurt was able to reach even a salty old grump like him with his earnestness in his faith.
Im a muslim, and HELLA love the fact that Nightcrawler is a Christian and that he helped wolverine believe if not make peace with god, such a big ass W for Christians and religion in general
Nightcrawler is great example of a character portrayed right. He's a devoted member of his faith and loves his deity despite the fact he looks like the devil and never shows hatred to his enemies.
Even when his mother admitted to abandoning him he told her he'd pray to god for strength to forgive her and pray he gives her strength to forgive herself. Dn!
Impressive how Nightcrawler converted Wolverine to Christianity
Nightcrawler is roman catholic
@@rdu239 still a Christian
Honestly I thought it was Beast who would’ve done it granted him or Nightcrawler was great choice
@richardperaza5083 I mean Kurt is the only one I know that believes in Christianity I'm sure Beast doesn't believe he's a man of science
@@markmagician2471 the only reason why I thought that (I haven’t read the comics) is bc on tv I always remembered Beast wanted to rid of his form until finding acceptance with it so that’s why I thought it was Beast
I remember back when Nightcrawler was originally a practical joker, now he's a preacher.
I wish more religious stuff was shown in shows like this. The faiths can be Abrahamic, Dharmic, Oriental, Pagan, Gnostic ect. As different as they all are, they still all ultimately have the same message, which is peace. You don't see religious stuff in kid's shows like this anymore and they really should bring them back.
Even as an atheist I love that ending with Logan. Kurt's also been one of my favorites forever, for his steadfastness and endurance in the face of what life has thrown at him. Plenty of people find other ways of being at peace or finding meaning in life without religion, but it's clear that for Logan - someone who actively rejects the things he wants in life - this is something he really wants. He just needed someone to show up who was just like him but hadn't given up.
Praise GOD
Lord Jesus have mercy on us.
Absolutely Based. The last great decade.
I think this scene shows why Wolverine and Nightcrawler are such good friends. His respect for Nightcrawler was due to him being a good man who rejects violence and someone Logan could come to for consul. Logan may be violent in nature, but he’s ashamed of it, due to how death he witnessed, weather by old age or his own hand. Unlike most mutants, Wolverine is not ashamed of being a mutant, just that he was a killer and wants to have life outside of the blood shed.
I know it's weird but in my spiritual journey I kind of needed this right now
Nightcrawler and TerminalMontage Kirby are great, wholesome Christian role models 🎉🎉
This episode is "Nightcrawler" Season 3 Episode 18.
I love nightcrawler he has grest faith no matter what
They don't make this cartoon anymore. Both in quality and storytelling
Well, now X-Men 97, and is better and more mature and it's predecessor
*I purely love Kurt Wagner aka Nightcrawler , one of my many favorite archetypal beloved X-Men hero members /mutants ,along with Jean Grey aka Marvel Girl, Ororo Monroe aka Storm, Alison Blaire aka Dazzler, Remy Lebeau aka Gambit, Ann Marie aka Rogue Dr. Henry "Hank " McCoy aka Beast, Scott Summers aka Cyclops, and James " Logan " Howlett aka Wolverine for examples! As both an Aspie male goody two shoes nerd and Pentecostal Christian, I can purely relate to Kurt Wagner aka Nightcrawler in a lot of beautiful positive ways! This beautiful winsome blue and indigo teleporting Germanic mutant devil of a purehearted guardian angel proved that a rough and tough semi-feral roguish and resilient mutant superhero that underneath his adamantium claws and skeleton and rough edges lies a heart of gold that pleases God of Heaven and Earth!* 😇
Love this comment
In my opinion, the animated Marvel series gave X-Men justice more than the movies, sorry Bryan.
It doesn’t matter if you were born Human, Mutant or Alien, God made us what we are, he works in mysterious ways
Miss this show love this episode 👍
Marvel should have more heroes that acknowledge God❤ i find this part of Nightcrawler refreshing, speaking as A Christian myself ❤
Night crawler is my favorite x men character
If this were to air today this would be cancelled for forcing religion on youngsters through cartoons....
Who knows what would happen if the cartoons would just try
Amen.
Yup. But forcing “tolerance” by showing men kissing each other or pushing ideology that is left leaning is fine. Of course, that hypocrisy always being defended as being “different”.
@@nielsdejong Homophobe much? Anyway, I agree with you that the Woke movement is a largely annoying and overcorrecting response to many social injustices and I for one can't wait for it to calm down, if not go away entirely. But religion.....well that's just makebelief.....litteraly.
@@dartharaneus67 How is that making me a homophobe? I don't care if two homosexuals kiss each other, as long as it is in private, because kids absorb anything and in many cases homosexuality is a choice (that is just plain reality, as experience taught me).
Wolverine being who he is and how he suffered had a positive impact in God's plan, even though Logan suffered from his Mutation and was experimented on he used his abilities to save people and be a hero.
God bless you all.
A very good video.
Amen.
Well done
Wolverine make me laugh 😂 he looks so frustrated 😅
This was a very special episode where nightcrawler believed n god & I thought 4 sure that he'd joined the xmen but he didn't & I do remember n another episode he finally met his mother who disown him but he still forgave her
It's mandatory that in every X-MEN episode, wolverine's claws must come out like a whale that breaches from time to time. Like as though if those claws come out its apocalypse in the world.
Bring back Jesus to our daily lives, to our Culture, for His Word shall be shared with all of us his children
Unlikely this type of lesson will occur in the '97 series!
Sad but true 😔. They’ll be promoting the opposite agenda, despite the fact that this is night crawlers avatar in comic dna
He is a nice and caring Guy. But doesn't act like his 92 counter part, no. 2 Episodes left maybe he'll mention God or His faith once. Hoping
.... no matter what we look like , and yes even us warriors ......
Ill always love how of the most devilish looking characters are the most religious, the fact that Nightcrawler a blue devil figure and Daredevil working in a place called Hell's kitchen and yet both so devoted to religion is truly great character story telling and designs
And don't forget hellboy himself is catholic
Is this also in the comics?
Learned so much from a cartoon
When the TV wasn't trash
Sure buddy...
Sick :)
Nightcrawler s amazing
this is how religion should be, love and not hate for others
Amen 🙏
I don't like religion in my escapism entertai- nah just kidding. I love this episode even tho I've only seen clips. It sends a message for those who are lost. That there is a place for everyone no matter who they are or what they've done.
Damn, now I'm crying as I write this
This is a fucking kids cartoon why the fuck does nightcrawler make me fucking cry
I felt the same way after rewatching this after 25 years
Book of Psalms?
My father who is very strongly Christian, would probably see me watching this scene and shut it off because "How dare a demon talk about God and be let into his Temple?" which really, I think, drives home my experience with Religion.
I would say a couple things: 1. I’m so sorry you’ve had a bad experience with religion.
2.Demon is what people call him bc they don’t understand the beauty that’s inside. They allow themselves to be dictated by the outward appearance and THAT is NOT the gospel which is what makes Nightcrawlers testimony so beautiful…while everyone else looked at him and called him a demon God looked at him and called him an angel.
- "God takes the foolish things of the world to shame the wise and God has chosen what the world considers weak and uses them to shame the strong" - 1 Corinthians 1:27
3. No disrespect to your dad but thats not Godly grace that sounds a lot like religion. Religion judges Gods grace covers
@@kingdomcomemusic7927 I thankfully came to a similar conclusion. So instead of worshipping a religion, I'm just thankful to whoever is up there and lets me wake up each day.
@@SomeKindaHero117 There are corrupt politicians, yet we still believe in democracy. Banks mismanage money, yet we have enough faith to store our hard earned money with them. Don't let an unfortunate experience with a judgmental Christian rob you of a fulfilling experience with Christ. In an unpredictable world, He is the one sure thing.
The most important lesson of all: turn to the one whom the Jews have rejected
Very true, Doctor.
“It was only stone and mortar, but the foundation that God has built in our hearts cannot be destroyed.”
Next thing you know Wolverine is reading Isaiah 12 verses 1-2.
Powerful stuff from a time before we turned against Him as a society.
