Team Blue Or Gold?
I love gooooooolld!
"Here comes Gold! Glitter and Gold!"- A Gaslighting 80's outrageous pop star
Blue, mostly for Kurt
Blue all the way!
Gold team rules!
Wolverine in brown and orange = 10/10
Now he kind of looks like a real Wolverine.
Cant get that line out of my head...
"Make them mind your weather,sister"
"And them weather your mind"
Chillssssssssss
Still thinking about it😭
NGL I want to like it but it came off as cheesy and forced to me
Worst line in the series
@@hamishfoxReally "Just live and let live, Jubilee" 😂
@@Therese504this is pure 90's wordplay
Rogue was wearing her original Brotherhood of Evil Mutants costume from her debut in Avenger Annual #10. As soon as I saw that, when she was talking alone with Charles, I knew she was heading off with Magneto.
Be a real good time for Carol to assert some control.
SAME!
~_~
If only they drew her the way they used to
@@0ttoRex Cake?
@@treybrannon4964 two, nice cakes
Charles: Please, not this Magnus. Be reasonable
Magnus: I'm not the one that needs to be reason with, Charles
Charles: There's a large asteroid, hovering over my home that begs otherwise
I love how inspite this series being so horrible and real at times, they don't hide from the fact that fundamentally, the x-men, are really freaking silly
Lol it has such omg Magnus again?!? Energy.
Marvel Universe NORAD/NASA must be a fun job.
X Men are not silly
@kingofdragons7 they literally attacked Blob for not wanting to join the x-men. They send a guy whose made of metal to fight a guy who controls metal. They're pretty silly.
@@kingofdragons7They are, tho'.
The way they paused the adamantium coming out was like a “…and that’s when he realized he f***ed up moment” lol
more like a "yep, that's me, you're prolly wondering how i ended up here"
@@cristianadpr8779 It's just this question, if you are splitting into teams, why do you put Wolverine on the team fighting Magneto? Best case scenario he spends the whole fight stuck to a wall.
@brettwood1351 in the comic Xavier explains why he takes every member of the team that hoes up there. If I remember correctly I think Wolverine was selected because it was a stealth mission; he's literally a government trained agent/assassin.
@@brettwood1351 it's the same reason that they sent the child groomed by Sinister to fight him. It's because if they did what was 100% logical, the show would break down.
There is also the ever-present threat that Wolverine and Magneto have a gentleman's agreement when they fight. Magneto promises not to rip out the metal in his skin and Wolvie promises not to make Erik into Swiss Cheese by evading him. HOWEVER, there was a breach in the terms and now there's war!
@@brettwood1351I read the issue this was taken from when it came out, and it was both 'holy shit, he did WHAT?’ and 'why didn't he do this ages ago, tho'?'
Sasha trying to sneak by without declaring if she'd side with Magneto or Xavier here...
Magneto blocking Charles' powers by putting his helmet on Charles' head was a brilliant move! Magneto wasn't just protecting himself, he was also cutting off telepathic communication between Xavier and the X-Men.
I know it's a cliffhanger, but the I feel like the last scene went to credits too abruptly. I think it needed another 10-20 seconds to breathe before cutting.
“Alright, we’re establishing a mutant homeland. Again. Any questions?” “What about mutants with non mutant family members?” “What happens when people start having kids and some of them are born without an X-gene?” “Are you setting up a foster care system for mutant children?” “What’s the school curriculum like?”
"What happens when our population increases and we need more room?"
No such thing as a problem that cant be solved with enough magnets
@@mingaubr1417 What about Wooden Guns?
@@brettwood1351 SILENCE!😨
What about if non-mutant refugees land on Genosha? Will Genosha maintain class divisions? How will Genosha police it's citizens?
I feel like Charles might have been able to reason with Magneto if instead of talking about understanding and a better way and all that, he just pointed out the logical flaws in his plans. Sure Magnus, go ahead and destroy the Earth and we will all move to an asteroid. What happens when you run out of food and other resources?
"You see this Magnus?"
"That's a Chipmunk Charles."
"Yes his name is Chipy. Now what have Chipmunks like Chipy ever done to mutants Magnus?"
"Nothing Charles. He's a Chipmunk."
"Exactly! And he's going to die a horrible death of cancer from the solar winds because you shut down the Earth's magnetic field. Like 99.999% of mutants who aren't fitting on your little asteroid."
@@brettwood1351 oh no not Chipy
@@brettwood1351Does Magneto want to get beaten up by a 14 year old girl with a squirrel tail and her rodent army?
Ha, replace Charles with Squirrel Girl and the chipmunk with Monkey Joe and this could legitimately be a scene in Great Lakes Avengers.
@@notavailable2590 Listen it's that or the Wooden Gun.
X-men 97 took a good series and actually made it great! Which is a rarity nowadays. The camera directions, the music during action scenes, the emotional depth, relationships (Storm & Jean), and the story in general are all better than the previous series.
Wolverine actually uses his claws on people. Wolverine unleashed!
Rogue was in her original first costume (with Remy's signature trench coat before she draped it on Charles, like a coat rack). Her Age of Apocalypse later suit has two white stipes down her chest and torso, and her matching hooded cloak (Was confused for a second, because her green and yellow suit with the cape is what I think of her AoA suit at first thought).
I guess I just want Age of Apocalypse too much lol
I loved coat rack Charles 😂
When cyclops said "what would you rather black leather?" I liked that as a burn to the xmen movie where cyclops said "What would you rather yellow spandex". nice
Very sweet considering how dirty Cyclops was done in the movies
I like black Uniforms 👌 in movie version.
I truly don't even think Magneto's plan to let the Earth die is even something he would want if he wasn't so overcome with grief and rage over Genosha and Bastion. Destroying the Earth would kill humans and mutants. He cannot realistically find and save every mutant on the planet in less than 12 hours and I doubt he even has enough resources to sustain a huge population on Asteroid M. He hasn't even thought of his own children in this move. He would kill billions, including mutants. I think if he won and everyone on earth really died, Magneto would eventually regret it. I just cannot see this version of Magneto ever truly being fine with killing the rest of his race while he only chose maybe a hundreds to survive, especially if his own children were killed as a result of his actions.
Like I keep saying, what did the plants and animals do to mutants Magneto?
Magneto isn't thinking straight or thinking at all honestly. And I can't blame him after everything he's been through.
@@LadyBlackwood Every single trauma button he had not only got pressed, it got smashed straight through the planet on Krakoa and afterwards.
Also poor Leech, now Franklin Richards is just gonna have Artie Maddox to hang with.
In the classic series, Master Mould stated that "Mutants ARE human."
I feel like this show has forgotten that.
My guess is we come back around to it.
"Shut up" is gonna go as one of the best moments in any X-Men story ever.
Every single fan has been waiting forever for someone to say that to Xavier.
I'm that last scene, all the way to the last shot I was saying out loud, "They wouldn't do it... they can't really do it... they're not really gonna do it, are they... OMFG THEY DID IT!!!".
It wrecked me just like it did back in the 90s comics.
It was literally that panel in the shows style! Sooooooo good.
OMG me too 😮
The final scene really got Under my Skin, I was real Torn up about it. Logan looked like he was in a Skele-ton of pain, I’m sure Wolverine is going to have a real Bone to pick with Magneto… at least the animation looked Wicked Metal 🤘lol
Omega Level Puns Detected
Nice tongue-in-cheek commentary!
😅
@Future_Vantas Nice, thank you
@leonardobraydn1524 thank you, I try
You're getting tibia pain.
I loved when Magneto told Charles to shut up. I mostly side with Charles but holy shit all of his speeches get so tiring.
We all felt Magneto's annoyance here, whether you're on his side or not
@@Xendrick Magneto isn't right, and long term everything will fall apart with the path he's chosen. But Charles is also a little too optimistic and naive.
@@brettwood1351 the compromise between the two ideologies/methodologies is definitely necessary (and pretty much the point of the general theme of the X-Men)
Total underestimation of the death toll, for sure. Airplanes alone would have the numbers in the 100,000s, which would already most likely be more than Genosha. (And that’s if they don’t crash into anything!)
I hope they do return to the lesson of “Mutants are Human.” Whatever ‘other’ that is for you, it’s the core message of the X-Men, to me. And it’s usually the case that the more specific a narrative gets, the more universal it becomes. You can tell any story you want with that viewpoint.
900,000 is still thousands technically...
I liked how we got a good long fight with Jean and not just the cool throwing of Morph as the Hulk.
Seemed like her and Invisible Woman only got "ugh I can't hold them" (it seems for more than 3 seconds) scenes so that was nice.
Also her and Storm scenes.
Considering how a terminator movie was happening world wide honestly the EMP is a necessary evil. The only straight up bad thing Magneto is doing is not dealing with the source of the murder cyborgs and refusing to stay and help out the mutants still on earth.
Also considering how the Doom made a cameo I’m pretty sure Earth magnetic field is probably fine cause you know he is able to fix it and will use it to fuel his ego and plans.
The thing is, he did way more than an EMP. Storm outright states she can feel the Earth's Magnetic Field dying. You know what else dies if that dies? Everything, because all the solar radiation is now hitting the planet. Most mutants can't survive that. So if he hadn't already, Magneto was about to top Bastion's mutant kill count by a hefty margin.
You do realize how many people would die from an event like that, right? Planes? Down. Hospitals? Now morgues. Traffic? Accidents everywhere. Not to mention the devastating permanent damage if the world's magnetic field never restarts. Life is only possible on Earth because we're shielded from cosmic rays by the magnetic field. That wasn't a necessary evil, it was callous expediency.
@@blackshard641On an outer space adventure, they were hit by cosmic rays….Oh good, everyone’s getting superpowers before they die.
@@brettwood1351Now THAT is a villain. It's why he's my favorite mutant.
3:54 When Storm got her powers back the 90’s Hulk theme was a hint to Rogue & Ross, then MorphSMASH
Here’s hoping Logan doesn’t bite his nose to spite his face.
I don't think any of us were really shocked by them finally doing the Fatal Attractions scene...but I can't be the only one who WAS flat out shocked by the blood. Like, wow. That was the first time I think since watching Edgerunners I was shook by the "gore" of a scene. It was so good. And the animation with the look on Magneato's face reminded me of old school anime.
I can't help but think of how Wolverine used his claws in the older series when I watched him skewer Magneto.
"Hey guys, look! Turns out my claws work on people, too!"
The show continues to be compelling, though I get the feeling that although the show stated the world was ending several times, some people weren’t quite getting that Magneto was basically going to kill off the planet except for his asteroid haven.
After the episode finished, I did stop to wonder that Magneto wasn’t going after Bastion.
Very curious where the techno organic people end up after this.
Yes. He didn't set off an EMP. He stopped the Earth's magnetic field. You do not want that to happen, just Ask Mars what it's like.
"X-Men 97 doesn't hold back!". You goddamn right it doesn't hold back, this is what Marvel should be all about for a story
the break between season one and two is going to be brutal.
Charles Should never be the one to reason with magneto. At this point it feel like they just bring out the worst of each other. Hell if they ever fused it would be a Onslaught
Lol iread that and chuckled. Well done.
This Finale is going to be WILD!
God! Thank you! You are the first person I have heard so far say that Magneto probably killed mutants with that emp too. I also believe that body count has got to be a lot higher than a few thousand. I’m so glad someone said it. That’s why I like your videos
On the costumes: after a while, I got fed up with the blue and yellow uniforms, however, the first time I saw the movie uniforms I thought immediately that I wanted the old ones back!
So now the yellow and blue one is my favourite.
You never miss with the hair and makeup!!! 😍💛💙
and planes dropping from the sky.
I love to see your videos after a new episode drops. You always have fun and insightful things to say and offer an interesting perspective on things I haven't considered beforehand.
I thought this was another banger of an episode. I love the sense of escalation in this show, the stakes, drama and surprises keep mounting. The action scenes continue to be awesome, The Jean and Sinister fight was especially cool because I've never seen him engage in a battle like that. Also, Storm and Jean's moments were bloody beautiful! And man, seeing Magento actually do that moment from the comics to Wolverine was badass.
Five hour video essay please! Wouldn't Magneto be dead after being stabbed by Wolverine like that? He doesn't have regeneration powers, does he?
A lot more people should be dead with airplanes falling out of the sky and starting fires everywhere not to mention all the power plants that can't just be safely shut down when even their backup generators would be fried. Maybe that's what the Avengers and other superhumans are all busy doing?
I really did appreciate the scene of Scott by Logan's bedside telling him 'Don't you dare break her heart, do what you do best; heal'.
It acknowledges that even though he doesn't like whatever he has with Jean, he validates how important Logan is to her.
This echoes Jean comforting him episodes earlier when Madelyne dies and also a moment in the comics where Jean as Phoenix (even after discovering their psychic affair) reassembles Emma's shattered diamond form telling her 'Wake up, Scott needs you.'
So to be honest, I was dubious after hearing a lot of the pre-release hype. But, over all the the series have been pretty awesome. When mentioning all of the things that would shut down when Magneto E.M.P. ed the whole planet one thing that seems to have been overlooked is flying craft. How many airplanes, helicopters and other similar craft were in the air, not only that but think about any undersea craft that would just sink to the bottom, run out of air and everyone on board just die...
I've been hearing a fair few people talking about the 1000s dead being too low, I wonder if the writers made a deliberate choice here. The simple fact is 1000s dead is something people can come to terms with and grasp the horror of. Millions of dead is overwhelming, hitting people in that same numbness that Bastian was talking about - being too much to fully process. So they go with 1000s for the gut punch even if it is inaccurate.
I think they wanted to create an end of the world scenario reminiscent of the comics that inspired this season and at the same time preserve the symbolic impact of Genosha. I don't think they were able to do it satisfactorily.
1000's (Which is 999,999 technically) would be the best initial estimate. You probably can't say millions yet because you just have no idea, but thousands is a safe guess.
@@doro626then they would’ve/should’ve said “hundreds of thousands”
@@ugoeze7360 Thousands and hundreds of thousands are the same thing. This is not network news, its a cartoon. But I understand what you mean.
Google search results range between 300,000 and 1M people in the air at any given time. Until the EMP.
With the adamantium ripped from his bones Wolverine is about to get wild. This show has shown it’s prepared to go hard so you know he’s about to get bloody.
Man this X-men version of the show has me going OMG in practically every ep, epically this one my gosh.
I like to imagine the blender was telling Bastion it couldn't stand anymore being used to tear bananas into pieces.
It's been great having this show, introducing the X-Men to my friends, being something I can look forward to every week, keeping me thinking about where it's going, I hope Marvel means it when they say that the wait for season 2 won't be too long because I need this show in my life
I've been hoping for an wolverine vs hulk live action.... I envisioned Logans costume to be the one he wore in this episode, and we got to see the hulk too!!! yeah WOVERINE VS HULK!!! throw in a wendigo and alpha flight....
Sasha trying to be the new professor here
"I wanna hear all your thoughts "
Magneto was right. But Magneto being right may not age well. Cable's scene of the Prime Sentinel future had Polaris being forced to use her magnetic powers on the Earth🌎. Magneto's refusal to reverse the EMP may be helping Bastion more than mutantkind.
This show is insanely good
4:16 I'm sorry but I cannot concentrate having that comic book on the background, but what is Superman doing kissing that girl's boot? Forget about cursed panels now we're in cursed covers territory!
Kal El knows his place 😂
Hey Sacha! I love your and Amanda's view on the series and the comics in general. This last episode was , a little set back. I just think I was too crowded with plot points, and when I see this, I allways think that in the payoff, some of them are going to let unresolved. Plus, I get it, if they don't excite de fans, they won't be a next season, so they have to speed up and put it all in. But don't get me wrong, I loved it.
I love this series! Back in the day I was reading X-men during the fatal attraction series. I have issue #25 autographed!
Wolverine "Been in a lot of wars, bub. The brave always die first." Didn't they teach you in any of those wars to kill first and make snarky comments later?
He couldn't kill magneto, because they still need him alive for Xavier to do his Mentok the mind taker thingy.
1:30 all the planes in the air, all the trains that cant brake, every pacemaker 😬 ya thats real bad
"Thousands" so many people are dead 💀 lol
Sarumam voice "Tens of thousands"
Probably a couple million tbh.
@@George_M_ Remember, Magneto's debut episode he was going to launch nukes, and start a thermonuclear war. Something most mutants can't survive. Or all the Radioactive Fallout. Or Nuclear Winter. You know, he may actually have already killed more mutants than Bastion.
It's '97 -- all the fax machines are off-line!! 😱
@@BenChanNYC Some poor mutant was about to get out of a bad situation thanks to his power to fax himself, and now he's just screwed.
Can't wait for the Chekov's Gun of the Apocalypse mention in the first episode to pay off. You know who Bastion a techno organic mutant has a lot in common with, perhaps an older techno organic mutant. If Apocalypse were to be behind Bastion, more than likely in that he is to succeed to a point of wiping out weaker mutants and start the war of homo-superior vs homo-sapien, then Mr. Sinister who has had enough dealings with Apocalypse than to let him win might heal turn into a team up.
Good point - There is truth to the Logan vs Magneto rivalry not being as profound in the series, but, most will understand the gravity of the rivalry from other iterations and IF we accept the reference of Jean being the Phoenix, Storm being showcased as omega, and the quote "...black leather" then the statement of their feud hitting its zenith fits. IMO
Seeing X-Men suit up in their classic costumes was something I didn't know I needed.
This series lured me into the krakoan era comics.... Well this and poly-Scott-Jean-Logan
I am a 58 yr old silver age reader (brag) of the old Clairmont/Byrne stories, the original cartoon( Pryde ) & the 1st series. While I admit the nostalgia IS strong with these new episodes, but it is just good reworking of a classic stories. The animation is really good. I am onboard and hopeful. I am anticipating an Avengers crossover, at some point, but I would want the Earth's Mightiest Hero's squad, (whoops!!! i would prefer the "Squaddies" even) I mean team, as opposed to the timeline accurate "United We Stand" crew. Peace S. keep reading.
This has been so good. The entire season was gold. Tho, I'm super nervous for the finale. I need them to stick the landing.
I'm a touch sad Rogue sided with Magneto, but it makes sense due to the plot. I was thinking it would be Cyclops instead since they have been showing him furthering from Charles the whole season and thought that would be neat.
But still so so good!
Every week my partner and I are like "well dang... that was an episode" and we sit for a moment thinking about it.
Also love your double host stream with Amanda 🎉
This was a heavy episode. But, Magneto telling Charles to shut up had me laughing hard. The way the music went silent, had me thinking Magneto was going to drop some serious knowledge. Instead, he forcefully says shut up. The episode needed that bit of levity to help break up the weightiness of it all.
Long time watcher and fan. I am SO FRICKIN’ GLAD you’re covering this series as I've been enjoying it immensely. I'm old enough to have grown up with the original dark Phoenix saga comic run. But really enjoyed this original show and this updated version has been a joy to watch all in all. He's recaps have been a great way of increasing the joy of it all! Keep doing what you're doing and bringing a great and playful critical eye to all of this art and culture!!
This episode had a LOT happen. I'm not used to having a cartoon have so many things going on for the brain to digest. I like the direction the show is going in... like you, I'm wondering whether they stick the landing on the finale. Here's hoping!
All of the old costumes are out. Rogue, Jean, and Cyclops are back to their originals--even Sunspot is back in his original New Mutants/X-Men costume. I also like how they showed that Storm's "new" costume was her original one. I know the point was to get to the "Magneto rips out Wolverine's adamantium," but Wolverine should have been on the "get Bastian" team, and Cyclops should have been there to go after Sinister. Storm was the best one to counter Magneto. I wish we would have gotten a Rahne/Moira cameo when they went to Muir Island.
I'm Team Magneto's Voice. That timbre could talk me into genociding anything.
Magneto's voice is excellent, lol
Even kittens?
@@brettwood1351 If so says the Master of Magnetism.
Hard to blame Magneto when millions of his people, on his their land, were mascaraed unprovoked. As much as I would like to believe that I might be able to rise above revenge, I'm pretty certain I would have done the same.
Don't forget that for Magneto, this was the second time he witnessed a holocaust. Being captured, depowered, and stripped nearly naked didn't make him feel any more sympathy either.
He groomed a young woman into becoming a terrorist. Plus he’s ironically making it hard for mutants and humans to coexist.
Really hope we get a bit of feral Wolverine in s2. Then they can bring in Apoc to give him his reset, make him War and bring Gambit back as Death. Loving your channel btw.
It's good. Crazy good. Insanely good! The writing is amazing. The dialogue is fantastic. God I wish in all this insanity they could have worked the New Mutants into this.
Only reason I thought Logan might get his metal ripped out was because someone on a website I visit suggested it might happen.
Here's something trippy. As much as loved super-heroes, I grew up poor so what little money I did have would got towards video-games. But I did manage to learn about the Onslaught event as it was happening and even read the final issue. He then appeared as a boss in Marvel vs Capcom. For years and years after I thought he was pretty cool and assumed people liked him. Wasn't until around 2014 when I actually started following comics as they came out that I learned him and his entire era weren't very well liked. Then I think they brought his armor back and put the Red Skull's head on it which sounds really freaking stupid.
So what's kinda interesting is seeing people on other videos commenting that Onslaught may be coming like they are fans when I've been lead their just aren't many.
The need to adhere to the _Fatal Attractions_ plot with Wolverine does really question the tactical genius of Cyclops - there's 2 missions, one of which involves lots of robots that need to be neutralised, by for example getting sliced up, the other dealing with the master of magnetism, so where do you send the mutant with a metal skeleton and really sharp knives on his hands?
Apparently there are more than 1.3M people in the sky in airplanes at any given time. So magneto definitely killed millions
I don’t think Magneto was talking to Wolverine, but to Charles when crossing a new line by ripping out the adamantium from Wolverine, one of Charles’ X-Men. The big feud, the central one, has always been between Professor X and Magneto. It does look like they’re inching toward Onslaught which will be a completion of that test Charles’ began to fail when using his power to hijack Magneto’s mind. Definitely on the edge of my seat in anticipation for the season finale 😬
I wonder if Sunspots turn would've hit a bit more if he'd had a chance to go to Genosha after being forced back in the closet by his mother. He'd be able to go to a place where he can be out as a mutant, and then it would've all been taken away. But either way, a great episode!
i've been meaning to watch this, havent had the time sadly, i am going to binge watch it this weekend,
Been waiting on your take, hun. You and Rob.
I had problem with the rivalry line, too. I mean, I could see if that was Gambit but I don’t recall any rivalry with Wolverine. 🤷🏾♂️ Still dope episode and the 80’s kid in me was smiling because of the old school costumes.
One thing that people notice, but don't give enough credit for is they've done *deep breath* X-Cutioners Song, Magnus as Headmaster, Inferno, E for Xtinction, Hellfire Gala, Genosha, Throneworld, Extinction Agenda, Fatal Attractions AND laid groundwork for Onslaught in EIGHT episodes and have tied it together....what?
The last 5 minutes of this episode went so hard. 😂😂
I can't help but think Rogue is kind of externalizing/projecting right now. Gambit was only in Genosha because he was feeling really insecure (and not without reason) about Rogue and Magneto getting closer. Not to say that it's her fault--he chose to go, Trask is the one who built the Sentinels. But "we all make our choices" is a line of reasoning that mitigates dressing down Xavier.
I like the idea of this new origin story of Bastion, if didn't watch the Demon Seed or T5 this it. Bastion is a Human Hybrid. Not necessarily a Mutant or Mutate but born with his abilites like Franklin Richards. He could talk to machines. He have 3 father's the Human/Janitor and Nimrod and Mastermold. Or maybe he a Father to himself?.
All of the airplanes in the air coming down
This has been So much fun and...Amazing. problems aside, it's been masterfully constructed.
Critical equipment is shielded from EMPs.
I had a theory that for this adaptation the reason that Cable didn't try harder to time travel to fix the Genosha event and that he's so easily manipulated by Sinister near the end of this episode was because it's not Cable, it's Stryfe. We'll see if that theory pans out or not (I actually hope it doesn't, since then they'd have to explain Stryfe and with Beau DeMayo out for potential season 3 I don't expect it'll be handled as competently as it could've been with him as showrunner).
Frankly, I'll be glad if this season sticks the landing with the finale since the only real complaint I had about it beyond the quick pacing as a result of ten episodes instead of at least thirteen is the anachronism of adapting 2000s+-era stuff to a show whose entire conceit is "what if the original series continued through 1997" when that material didn't even exist to be adapted yet. Even when the original series adapted Phalanx Covenant it was probably at best six months of production from the end of that storyline to when it first aired unless they produced it in conjunction with the comics writing teams, and even adapting slightly older but still relatively contemporary storyline aspects like the Acolytes gave hit-or-miss results that clearly felt more rushed than other stories.
Man, X-Men ‘97’s been hitting the 10/10s every week. Fingers crossed the season finale sticks its landing.
Thousands of airplanes alone would’ve gone down during… also I picked up the ‘97 tie-ins 🤓
I couldn't estimate the number of deaths from Magneto's EMP strike, but...as this is technically a fully-stocked MU (as of '97), it wouldn't be as high as one might expect (sooo many heroes, villains and other super-beings working overtime; as what typically happens during these types of crises, even many of the villains might be chipping in)
I feel like they are setting up a Phoenix moment but it will be for Jean and Storm to put their powers together and destroy the base. Morph will get the last shot at Sinister somehow.
Am i th eonly one who feels like this whole show seems like a flashback as it hits 30 yrs of plot points at break neck pace?
I'm loving Xmen 97 it's way darker than the original 90's cartoon. But sometimes it goes a bit too fast I and have to watch episodes again. But apart from that I am absolutely loving it 💯💕💕💕
All I can think of when I saw Bastion in this episode was Assimilate.
I like to think Earth's other superheroes are keeping the casualties as low as they can while the X-Men fix their former leader's mess. (I assume Iron Man would use that armor from the end of his series to function, that kind of thing.)
Unrelated question to the vid, but have you read the Cereal book from Mark Russell, it’s a wild ride
I was a bit slow last night to not catch what was happening when Storm sent that thunder while Beast was talking about taking Bastions powers… i was all like “what the hell was that about, maybe someone will explain in a review” I had smoked a little. It was so obvious. Lol.
This is a great video I loved it :)
Hi, I’m new here. I know nothing about the comics. I only just watched the original animated series this past month. Every choice the writers make is new to me. I was not prepared for the episode with WOLVERINE HAVING HIS SKELETON BEING RIPPED OUT OF HIS BODY. *I DIDN’T EVEN THINK ADAMANTIUM WAS MAGNETIC.*
Do you guys think Iron Man fell out of the sky to his death? He coulda.
Jokes aside, this is the Marvel Universe. I'm sure they had the EMP fallout covered.
Tony probably has a parachute.
@@notavailable2590 🤣
9:26 - That's the one part that kind of bugged me. I'm not sure it's in character for her. I think she would recognize the threat that Bastion is. Also, he's not even a mutant.
I feel like 20 different things were happening at once and it worked.
