"Hello, Mutant Registration program." "ONE OF YOUR FUCKING ROBOTS JUST BROKE IN AND DESTROYED MY MALL! JESUS CHRIST, THE PROPERTY DAMAGE IS UNBELIEVABLE!!" "Well sir, did you keep the receipt for the mall?" "...no." "Then we have nothing to discuss." "Oh my God, it's coming back! AHHHH--" "Have a nice day, sir." My favorite part of the episode! That and "Hey, sweet! A convertible!"
The death of Morph set the tone for the series. This was serious stuff. If a hero dies early (even an obvious red shirt), it makes the fights in all of the subsequent episodes much more intense.
I suppose it was meant to be this way but Morph always struck me as a depressing, creepy whiner with bags under his eyes. Like if a Jared from Subway got jacked.
@@trasegorsuch5140 RIght I know lol but the basic point is correct - WILLING to kill him was serious in the early 90s I just find it beyond dumb HOW he "died" and no one double-checked. Xavier didn't scan for his mind and Wolvie's sharp senses failed him. Great moment but not well written.
@@thomasmuandersontheneousul4184 Xavier did scan his mind so to speak....he didn't detect anything which means he was dead....Mr Sinisters implant brought him back to life.
Well, Morph was resurrected by Mr. Sinister in season 2. Mr Sinister brain washed him into believing that the x-men let him die back at the Mutant Registration Zone and used his anger and hatred to take out the X-men. Professor X, who was held captive along with Magneto in the Savage Lands, used his psychic powers to try and free Morph from Mr. Sinister’s control. Through sheer will power, Morph broke free from the mad Victorian British scientist’s control and was himself again.
Actually, Morph did originate from the comics except he was named Changeling and he changed to Morph once Marvel learned that DC had used the name for Beast Boy. Later on in the X-Men cartoon, Morph did return as a villain who was scarred by memories of his supposed death but he got better as time moved on. *THE MORE YOU KNOW.*
And also her represantation to Wolverine and the X-Men didn't help much either. As for her live action version... well let's just say that Rogue in the 90's wouldn't be content if she saw her live action version!
+Richard ”Firebug” Merrick Then how about the Turtles? Or Ghostbusters or whatever old cartoon you can imagine? A good show needs to have a catchy intro tune thats how most people remember them, even if the intro Pictures has ABSOLUTLY nothing to do with any episodes in the show itself what so ever as long as the Music is good
Jubilee: Let's be honest, if I stay I'll probably just get in the way. Cyclops: Yep. Storm: Probably. Beast: No offense. Wolverine: Why are you even here?! Jubilee:... Rouge: Senzu Bean!
Strom: We also don't have nipples on our costumes, ice skates in our shoes, need to make ourselves feel important by making up our own credit cards, and make crap ass sequels.. Batman:~starts to cry~
Err, But Ice-Man does have ice skates in his shoes, and some of the xmen do have nipples on there costumes. And X-men made tons of crap ass sequels......... I don't even.
Batman: "Do you patrol the streets of your home city, after swearing that you would stop every criminal that way no one would ever suffer the same fate that was delt to you? No? Then I suggest we stop bickering."
+Ro Draws Rogue's my fav. out of all the X-Ladies. Sadly they never really told her story in the cartoon or the movies _(Being tricked to absorb Miss Marvel's powers)_ I was actually doing a quick sketch of her last week at work to show how fast you had to draw if you wanted to work at Marvel Comics _(Never finished the illustration though)_ lol i.imgur.com/JO53ArV.jpg?1
Michel Boryoku that is awesome!! loved the style you did!!! itried to recreate the cartoon style myself a few years ago rose-annegagne.deviantart.com/art/Rogue-X-Gambit-updated-121746262?q=sort%3Atime%20%28%28rogue%29%20AND%20%28by%3ARose-AnneGagne%29%29&qo=3 but then did my own style about a year after over here rose-annegagne.deviantart.com/art/sexy-rogue-linart-410362830 I super want a tattoo of her so badddd but honestly i really hope you finish the sketch cause it looks so awesome!!!
+45darkrai Yeah he showed up the opening of the second season as a prisoner of Mr Sinister. He was brought back partially because he was popular and part of a loophole with TV's Standards and Practices that allowed him to be seemingly killed off in the first place.
Gambit was designed by Rob Liefeld wasn't he? Or... maybe not. I mean, he's got the stupid headgear, the bad haircut, the inexplicably random clothing articles.... but he's got normal human proportions and I count fewer than six pouches on his person. So.... Liefeld inspired I guess?
Actually, Xmen was originally about black rights. With xavier being Martin Luther King and magneto being Malcolm X. Both having the same goal but different ways of going about it, though having a mutual respect for each other.
3:45- I imagine this is also the kind of reaction most operators and authorities would get from the public if: A. Transformers were deployed by the government to a battlefield. B. There was a Gundam fight anywhere near a populated area. C. The Power Rangers formed a Zord. D. The Avengers: Age of Ultron E. Anything involving Mecha-Godzilla F. The NFL Robots played their own Superbowl. Also, why in the wide worlds of Marvel was Jubilee never in the films?! Seriously, her powers may be inconsistent but they'd still be awesome to see. It's like watching freaking fireworks, and imagine the creative potential for her movie uniform. Sigh -_-
Elijah Watson A cameo, to me, doesn't really count as a role in the film so much as a "presence". It's like if Peter Parker showed up briefly in Avengers as a civilian, then is never referenced again. Unless the character is shown with some focus participating in the action, contributes to the story somehow, or at least hints at a larger role in a sequel, it feels like a middle finger to fans. If you don't have resources or time to adequately spotlight or develop the character, it's better not to bother. That's what makes post-credit scenes so addicting, they almost always mean something. They're not there just to be there.
Razorc Skelly Yeah, hopefully she'll get the spotlight she deserves as well as adequate development, not just being thrown in for one film and then killed off (Cough, Avengers' Quicksilver). Also, it looked like a young Storm may be one of Apocalypse's four horsemen, which would be a cool introduction. Agent MacTaggert says that Apocalypse "imbued" his followers with power, meaning he likely gave Storm hers or unlocked them from dormant genes. In the comics, she was also descended from tribal royalty in Kenya. If her character in this version grew up there and was worshiped by her people, she may have joined Apocalypse to protect her home from the violence between mutants and humans. She'll likely be a powerful enemy, but Charles will find a way to befriend her. It would be awesome to see Magneto switch sides at the end, briefly teaming up with Storm and the X-Men for an all out assault against Apocalypse and the remaining horsemen! It'll be cool to see Cyclops and Nightcrawler return too and see how this new canon portrays them, but if Jean goes Pheonix again, they're all screwed :3
While Morph was killed, he was eventually revived by Mr. Sinister. So, uh.... yeah. What you said Nostalgia Critic was false. The developers did remember him.
+Omnicidal Clown He gets so much wrong with Morph it's ridiculous and just assumes things with him. I've read Morph was killed off because Marvel were afraid another company would sue them for him being too much like their shapeshifter character. Also, was this vid made before or after they started calling Changeling Morph in the comics?
+Manuel Alberto Romero Morph is also an alternate universe version of Changeling, they lampshade it in Exiles where Morph joins the Exiles which are basically a quantum leap style X-team composed of characters from all over the multiverse.
+virus4812 Huge spoiler warning: Mr. Sinister apparently hid his presence from Xavier and Cerebro, and put implants in him to turn him evil. Wolverine eventually finds out and tries to save him.
But still, why did Morph jump to intercept a blast aimed at the guy who's biggest power is the ability to heal from pretty much ANY injury? ^_^ and on the whole 'Rogue is Sexy' thing; yeah, this toon did push the limits a little bit on showing just how 'curvy' rogue was in that outfit :-)
Yeah, I never quite got that, it really makes no sense since he is literally the physically weakest person there when not transformed. Now the Rogue thing I get, but a hot night with her is destined to end with either a long-term hospital visit or a funeral.
19 years from 2011 when this vid was made was when this X Men series premiered. 19 years ago in 2019 the next X Men series premiered "X Men Evolution" so... isn't it nostalgic by this point?
Yeah, back when the website Channel Awesome (TGWTG) actually _was_ awesome, they had all kinds of crazy talent. Not sure why he was "Distressed Watcher" instead of Amazing Atheist, but TJ gained a lot of fandom there. Jontron also basically got his start there. Back in 2010, RUclips wasn't everything. People actually went to websites like TGWTG, Cinemassacre, Screw Attack, and The Spoony Experiment for their videos.
I’m calling from the year 2024 where marvel rebooted the original series and it’s very mature in the best ways and is just as good as the original series. X-men 97 is great!!!!
Rogue? Don't worry Critic, we all have one of those. My is Raven, from the Teen Titans cartoon. Oh Raven, i face hell and beyond for you my Dark Angel!!! Just, leave futas away from me...
The entire community is literally being blown all to hell and that little kid's reaction is, "Buy me that! Buy me that!" I love that line so much because let's face it, I think most kids would feel that way if they saw something that cool, even if it is causing untold destruction in its wake :P
5:04-About Gambit’s design, he’s actually a Cajun thief raised by the Thieves Guild in Louisiana. In that one episode where Gambit goes back to his home bayou, the other Thieves who adopted him, along with his foster brother were all wearing the same costume (trench coats) Gambit is wearing. Gambit’s design is to make him look like a scoundrel, some who can’t be trusted due to his criminal background, womanizing antics and trouble making behavior. Although I would point out that the rival guild, the Assassin’s Guild don’t look like Assassins but more like sci fi bounty hunters. I’d always imagined an assassin should wear hoods that cover their face, robes or capes that make them blend in with the crowd and leather gloves and boots to help them climb around in buildings, just like the ones in Assassin’s Creed.
Ranking every 90s marvel cartoon worst to best: Doom patrol Avengers United they stand Spider man unlimited Fantastic four The Incredible Hulk Iron man Spider man X Men
I literally just started watching this because I really got into Deadpool. I have to know why the ACTUAL FUCK Professor X had a barely trained thirteen year old kid babysit a grown-ass war criminal when he could’ve just asked Gambit to do it.
morph didnt die in that first episode. he came back a few seasons later and tried to take down the xmen thinking that they left him to die. he was angry and upset, but they told him that they thought he was dead, but were happy to see him alive. he believed them and decided to move on with his life, but no longer an xman. he appears in a few other episodes too throughout the show :p
I didn't see a lot of X-Men growing up, but I did see enough of it. I really *loved Rogue & Gambit.* I liked Jubilee's sparkle effects on her powers & her subtle romanticism w/ sexy Gambit. Wolverine was badass ✨👍
Rewatching this review for X-Men: ‘97. 😊 7:21 He can strike this pose… which I’m comedically going to play back and forth right now… AND HE’S STILL FUCKING BADASS! XD 15:03 PLEASE DON’T SHOW THIS IN THE COMMERICAL OF THE SHOW!!! HEY… I SEE MY HOUSE FROM HERE! 16:16 I heard X-Men: ‘97 did have a callback to this scene. XD 17:25 Gotta love the air-humping Sentinels. XD
Okay but since when has sending the police out to capture or detain someone with magical powers ever worked out? Also, is there a name for the black thing that Gambit wears around his face? I've seen it on other characters in other things. It's not a ski-mask, it's not a cowl, and it's not a skull cap. Is there a damned name for that thing!?
Yeah the cops always get pissy that the Superheroes are doing their job and such but every time they go after a guy with powers it ends in either pain or death
Man I wish the X Men were in the MCU! Oh wait, they are joining! Yeah didn’t you heard Disney is buying Fox as well as the Fantastic 4, X Men and DeadPooL.
About Jubilee, she did get a redeeming badass by having locked up Apocalypse in one of the finale. Also even more confusing on Mutants and Sentinels since the show also have Superheroes like Ms. Marvel (the white lady) and even the Avengers (granted that they only appeared in a bad future episode but it's way better than AvX comic which they attacked children and Cyclops got the short end despite Scarlet Witch MURDERING HER BEST FRIENDS AND DEPOWERED THE MUTANTS IN HOUSE OF M.)
I would also keep in mind she's about thirteen fourteen years old and just discovering her powers meaning she hasn't quite learned to control them yet. See X Men Evolution to see what the rest of the group, except Storm and Wolverine, was like learning how to use their powers. I think in the first episode Cyclops blows something up.
Fun fact; the same guy who made the theme for X-Men TAS (Ron Arthur "The Mighty RAW" Wasserman) also made the theme songs for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers through to Power Rangers Wild Force. This is because both aired on FOX Kids and Wasserman was employed by the while channel and not just Saban.
"Hello, Mutant Registration program."
"ONE OF YOUR FUCKING ROBOTS JUST BROKE IN AND DESTROYED MY MALL! JESUS CHRIST, THE PROPERTY DAMAGE IS UNBELIEVABLE!!"
"Well sir, did you keep the receipt for the mall?"
"...no."
"Then we have nothing to discuss."
"Oh my God, it's coming back! AHHHH--"
"Have a nice day, sir."
My favorite part of the episode! That and "Hey, sweet! A convertible!"
I loved those parts too.
I wouldn’t be surprised that’s actually canon. Jeez, no wonder all their futures goes to shit.
I never got why morph jumped in front of wolverine, who has both an adamantium skeleton and a healing factor...
bro love man.
Morph’s final thought: “I saved Logan. At least now my sacrifice won’t be in...wait a minute. Logan has a healing...” *ZAP*
Morph’s not die
Well, it turns out later on in the series that Mr. Sinister saved him and turned him evil but still that was kind of silly!
In fairness, Logan's healing factor took forever in this show. He probably would have died
The death of Morph set the tone for the series. This was serious stuff. If a hero dies early (even an obvious red shirt), it makes the fights in all of the subsequent episodes much more intense.
I suppose it was meant to be this way but Morph always struck me as a depressing, creepy whiner with bags under his eyes. Like if a Jared from Subway got jacked.

I remember a friend of mine, who loved the cartoon, was heartbroken by Rogue's portrayal in the first film.
+pious83 Rogue in the movies was more like jubilee with rogue power then rogue, it was blasphemy. Hope with the reboot they do her justice.
+rjh00 Yeah I watched the movies before the show or comics and was super disappointed when I finally saw this show.
The Jam Man
However, since True Blood, Anna Paquin could definitely play This Rogue on the big screen now..
+pious83 I am still pissed about it.
Liked your comment for the great comma use! Wow, I am proud!
Speaking of subtlety, who else was impressed by the little kid yelling "Mommy, buy me that!" as the sentinel walked by?
I love how that kid wasn't scared of the giant robot like everyone else. He was just thinking that it would be such a cool toy.
Actually, Morph did originate from the comics except he was named Changeling and he changed to Morph once Marvel learned that DC had used the name for Beast Boy. Later on in the X-Men cartoon, Morph did return as a villain who was scarred by memories of his supposed death but he got better as time moved on.
*THE MORE YOU KNOW.*
And then Morph became infintely More Awesome when he went to AOA and joined the Exiles
Dark Rob kinda looks like Edward Scissorhands
chowderheadify I thought he was Robert Smith of The Cure.
I was thinking the same exact thing
Anybody else wish the critic would bring back Raiders of the Story Arc?
+Morgil I do, there are a lot of things he could do for it.
+Morgil i do
he could do one for G1 Transformers
Brandon Thompson
Uh, I think he did that one already.
Morgil did he?
Rogue was such a sassy, tough, entertaining character in the series.
I nearly cried when I saw what they did to her in the X-Men film.
She also has a ton of sass in X Men Evolution. She is emo for exactly 1 episode, then she kicked a ton of ass after that.
Well she could have been gambit
Her and gambit were awesome
And also her represantation to Wolverine and the X-Men didn't help much either. As for her live action version... well let's just say that Rogue in the 90's wouldn't be content if she saw her live action version!
Ricky Collins Beast was FANTASTIC in X-Men: The Last Stand!
"SHES A SERIES OF PAINTED LINES!" apparently hes never heard of internet fan art
Never stopped me
14:53
Beast and Rogue have super durability while Morph doesn't.
Yeah I remember being confused how beast survived but not morph.
My favourite theme of all time is the X-Men theme.
I really wish the movies would use this theme.
+Garrett Knisley i just imagined the theme preformed by a full orchistra...it needs to happen.
+TrueTreeRadio Thank you for gracing us with your amazing ideas.
+Garrett Knisley I wish they would open the last movie with this theme. It would be awesome but they'll never do it.
+Richard ”Firebug” Merrick Then how about the Turtles? Or Ghostbusters or whatever old cartoon you can imagine? A good show needs to have a catchy intro tune thats how most people remember them, even if the intro Pictures has ABSOLUTLY nothing to do with any episodes in the show itself what so ever as long as the Music is good
Whoever made the title song for the X-men cartoon deserves 9 oscars
+Jere Aho That would be Shuki Levy and Ron Wasserman, the guys who also did music for Power Rangers.
and a cookie
And Spongebob! Yes, Ron Wasserman did the opening to Spongebob.
You should watch the japanese version, it's as badass
Yes
Everything is more epic with the X-Men theme.
Then look up the Japanese opening for the show. It's called Rise, and it's twice as good as the American theme.
Nah, I heard it. I prefer the American one.
Seriously, Its like the Comic book equivalent to Guile's Theme from Street fighter 2.
I thought you had no strong feelings one way or the other. 😂
Anyone else rewatching before X-month (2019)?
I am!
Me too!
Yaaas
Same!
MEEE
I have a feeling that the critic has written fan fic of him and rouge
Spartan A111 Probably..... WE MUST FIND THEM!!!!! GRAB THE GRAPPLING HOOKS AND THE MISSION IMPOSSIBLE THEME!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bet it involves him making out with rogue on a t-rex

Strom: We also don't have nipples on our costumes, ice skates in our shoes, need to make ourselves feel important by making up our own credit cards, and make crap ass sequels..

Scott Bruckner: Jean: No, we are too busy standing for mutant rights while protecting the public around the globe, as a typical weekday no less.
Actually, the X-Men have crap ass sequels, too. X-Men: The Last Stand, X-Men Origins: Wolverine...
That opening theme song was one of the greatest things to come out of this cartoon.
Sort of makes you wonder what would've happened if Morph went against Mystique.
I wanna see an "Old vs. New" of this and X-Men Evolution.
At this point even Evolution is nostalgic XD though I grew up with Evolution
X Men: Evolution was my absolute favourite childhood-show (besides ATLA).

Not just for one, but for everybody.

Yeah, back when the website Channel Awesome (TGWTG) actually _was_ awesome, they had all kinds of crazy talent. Not sure why he was "Distressed Watcher" instead of Amazing Atheist, but TJ gained a lot of fandom there. Jontron also basically got his start there. Back in 2010, RUclips wasn't everything. People actually went to websites like TGWTG, Cinemassacre, Screw Attack, and The Spoony Experiment for their videos.
I’m calling from the year 2024 where marvel rebooted the original series and it’s very mature in the best ways and is just as good as the original series. X-men 97 is great!!!!
I'm a woman and when we had a VCR, I was the ONLY one in the house who could set the clock.... And program it....
congrats! you're one in a million!
+Charles McKenna Most men cant fix that either.
ThatOneGuy I know I sure couldn't. However I was the only one in the house who knew how to get a Nintendo game to start. Had it down pat
Charles McKenna Yes you knew exactly the right knife to sacrifice the infant to....
***** what the hell?
NC should do a Top 11 X-Men: The Animated Series Episodes.
New revival season coming in march 20
And so far... damn it's good! Even kept the intro true to the original.
Was Jubilee adopted? Cause not only do neither of her parents have the same hair color, but they aren't even Asian.
balgus82 she was
Jubilee's Asian?
@@ShadowStar-wo8vi In the comics Yes her real name was I kid you not...JUBILATION Lee
Rogue? Don't worry Critic, we all have one of those.
My is Raven, from the Teen Titans cartoon.
Oh Raven, i face hell and beyond for you my Dark Angel!!!
Just, leave futas away from me...
AZIRATH METRIONUS ZINTHOS!!!!
Thiago Tazo raven is my favorite teen Titan too
Thiago Tazo Mine was Danny Phantom, Zuko, or Robin from Teen Titans.
Kim Possible
Thiago Tazo Sebastian from Black Butler
Waiting for the Doug commentary about X-Men 97
Ah-HAHAHAHA! Dark Rob scene was freaking awesome! 😂😂😂
The first few episodes as seen in this video are good, but this show got so much better as soon as Magneto came into the picture.
Phoenix Saga - enough said!!
Facts
I wonder how Critic feels about Evolution Rouge
The entire community is literally being blown all to hell and that little kid's reaction is, "Buy me that! Buy me that!" I love that line so much because let's face it, I think most kids would feel that way if they saw something that cool, even if it is causing untold destruction in its wake :P
5:04-About Gambit’s design, he’s actually a Cajun thief raised by the Thieves Guild in Louisiana. In that one episode where Gambit goes back to his home bayou, the other Thieves who adopted him, along with his foster brother were all wearing the same costume (trench coats) Gambit is wearing. Gambit’s design is to make him look like a scoundrel, some who can’t be trusted due to his criminal background, womanizing antics and trouble making behavior. Although I would point out that the rival guild, the Assassin’s Guild don’t look like Assassins but more like sci fi bounty hunters. I’d always imagined an assassin should wear hoods that cover their face, robes or capes that make them blend in with the crowd and leather gloves and boots to help them climb around in buildings, just like the ones in Assassin’s Creed.
Don't mind me guys, I'm here again after the X-Men '97.
Actually, Morph was a real character from the late 70's...
3:58 perfectly cut scream
Ranking every 90s marvel cartoon worst to best:
Doom patrol
Avengers United they stand
Spider man unlimited

Doug and Rob are related?! I would've never gussed.......
Guessed*

I literally just started watching this because I really got into Deadpool. I have to know why the ACTUAL FUCK Professor X had a barely trained thirteen year old kid babysit a grown-ass war criminal when he could’ve just asked Gambit to do it.
I love how the NC used "Legacy" by The Gone Jackals when he introduced Wolverine. That song is freaking awesome!
morph didnt die in that first episode. he came back a few seasons later and tried to take down the xmen thinking that they left him to die. he was angry and upset, but they told him that they thought he was dead, but were happy to see him alive. he believed them and decided to move on with his life, but no longer an xman. he appears in a few other episodes too throughout the show :p
I really think this series had ALOT to do with the X-Men's popularity in the 90s and a huge contributor to what would be the awesome X-Men and X2.
0:49 ....IS THAT THE AMAZING ATHEIST?
+Isaac “the Marker Killer” Clarke Yes from what I have learned he use to have a review show which he hosted on that guy with the glasses.com.
The end of all things Subtle huh, strange but cool
Ian Thomas so?
Ian Thomas
I dont see how this changes his opinions tough
I don't know why, but Dark Rob cracks me up every time.
Wait a minute...

Subject: Jubilee
Name: Jubilation Lee
JUBILATION? D-dang.
13:56 - 14:13 sounded just like a beavis and butthead bit.
🎵 “X-MEN is a kickass show, now you know!” 🎵
2:39 most accurate description! I laughed so hard after hearing this one xD
I didn't see a lot of X-Men growing up, but I did see enough of it. I really *loved Rogue & Gambit.* I liked Jubilee's sparkle effects on her powers & her subtle romanticism w/ sexy Gambit. Wolverine was badass ✨👍
ai i glad i am not the only one
X-Men97!!
You know using giant robots to find mutants instead of using for military porpuses is weird
07:22 Probably why I love Wolverine.
I loved this show with all my heart and soul as a kid! 😍
Conspiracy theory in the cartoon universe mystique was morph.

it's TJ
I know AA is amazing
No, that's garbage

Ahhh, Jubulie, the April O' Neal of X Men. Oh and X men is a cartoon version of Heroes.
Critic & Rogue is the real deal.
12:52 TO MY BOOOOOOOBS!!!!!!!
11:27 best recap ever!
Rewatching this review for X-Men: ‘97. 😊
7:21 He can strike this pose… which I’m comedically going to play back and forth right now… AND HE’S STILL FUCKING BADASS! XD
15:03 PLEASE DON’T SHOW THIS IN THE COMMERICAL OF THE SHOW!!! HEY… I SEE MY HOUSE FROM HERE!
16:16 I heard X-Men: ‘97 did have a callback to this scene. XD
17:25 Gotta love the air-humping Sentinels. XD
back then I found Rogue's curves to be eye-catching BUT this dude is giving off a scary stalker vibe
14:06 Where Power Rangers got the title!!
6:25 gotta admire how Prof. X telepathically tracks Jubilee down - beside the fact that she is in the doorway beside them xD what a waste of telepathy
Okay but since when has sending the police out to capture or detain someone with magical powers ever worked out?
Also, is there a name for the black thing that Gambit wears around his face? I've seen it on other characters in other things. It's not a ski-mask, it's not a cowl, and it's not a skull cap. Is there a damned name for that thing!?
Yeah the cops always get pissy that the Superheroes are doing their job and such but every time they go after a guy with powers it ends in either pain or death
6:53 Sweet! Legacy from the Full Throttle game!
Man I wish the X Men were in the MCU! Oh wait, they are joining! Yeah didn’t you heard Disney is buying Fox as well as the Fantastic 4, X Men and DeadPooL.
Dark Rob looks more like Edward Scissorhands.
5:06 I thought for a second that this woman was naked. Why would they paint her top the same color as her skin?
the scream when he says "OMG its coming back... AAAHHh!" slays me
I can imagine coma doof warrior from mad max fury road playing the xmen theme rocking it out wit that badass flamethrower guitar!
I was obsessed with gambit as a kid! He was so damned cool! He could make anything explode and he uses throwing cards! What a badass!
11:44 Batman was tied to a mattress. XD
About Jubilee, she did get a redeeming badass by having locked up Apocalypse in one of the finale.
Also even more confusing on Mutants and Sentinels since the show also have Superheroes like Ms. Marvel (the white lady) and even the Avengers (granted that they only appeared in a bad future episode but it's way better than AvX comic which they attacked children and Cyclops got the short end despite Scarlet Witch MURDERING HER BEST FRIENDS AND DEPOWERED THE MUTANTS IN HOUSE OF M.)
+powerist Yeah....weird!!!!
I would also keep in mind she's about thirteen fourteen years old and just discovering her powers meaning she hasn't quite learned to control them yet. See X Men Evolution to see what the rest of the group, except Storm and Wolverine, was like learning how to use their powers. I think in the first episode Cyclops blows something up.
4:54 What I tell myself about Kaldur'ahm in YJ. Darn animators giving us too high of expectations😭
Fun fact; the same guy who made the theme for X-Men TAS (Ron Arthur "The Mighty RAW" Wasserman) also made the theme songs for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers through to Power Rangers Wild Force. This is because both aired on FOX Kids and Wasserman was employed by the while channel and not just Saban.
