I don’t know, but that look and mannerisms for Dr. Doom looks like from The Avengers Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, Cartoon Dr. Doom. Same thing for Baron Zemo.
I only watched a couple episodes and I watch everything normally. Just feels too unconnected. I’ll watch it all eventually but not invested at all. Seems kinda mid tbh
@@redgyrados2000 Listen to him again. When he says "I knew Mengele. He could have been so much more." That's affection. He just thinks Mengele could have done more than that.
@@OldManYellsAtCloudsAs if he considered that kind of torturous experimentation he did as a Nazi a waste of his abilities because it didn’t involve the kinds of post-human research Sinister is into. It’s reminiscent of how Sebastian Shaw in X-Men: First Class saw the Nazi’s fixation on blonde hair and blue eyes as “pathetic” in comparison to the X-Gene, not that he minded their practices when they actually managed to bring him results.
The thing is that "tolerance is extinction" can be understood a number of ways. The one way I haven't seen anyone mention is tolerating racism, or in other words, the idea exemplified by the poem, "First they came..." Humans, by tolerating the sentinels wiping out mutants, is effectively paving the way to their own extinction.
I grew up thinking Omega Red & Silver Samurai were the biggest threats rights after Apocalypse. I don’t think it’s an accident 2 more of the most human hating mutants are about to go on a rampage.
@@ReparationsNationthey weren't in a situation to fight and NOT look evil. Also good thing they didn't, experienced x men struggled with their first one, both Jubi and Roberto wouldn't be able to take care of em anyway
Next episode should start with Scott clocking Charles in the jaw so hard it takes both Jean and Wolverine to pull him off. Nothing would make the point of how bad things are better than that.
A hill I’m ready to die on: this ep is the single best 30 minutes of superhero content ever put on a screen. Not “xmen content” or “animated superhero content” or even “marvel content.” The single best 30 minutes of superhero programming in human history
i’ve been saying that since genosha, like it’s all starting to line up and they even jokingly said “is this anyone time where wolverines the last to live” or something like that in this episode
ok on the part 3:37 its jeans mask from the old generation , on 3:54 that symbol is beast's and when you go to 4:06 into the video you can see it again but with more symbols scott, jean, iceman, angel and beast i think cable was referring to on how the X-Men was formed while nimrod was doing his master plan in the past
They keep showing that picture of the original 5 X-Men but still haven't acknowledged Warren as having been an X-Man yet. We saw him on Genosha though.
Probably the funniest part of the Spiderman cameo, for me personaliy, is the idea that he sees the effects of the electromagnetic waves, and his immediate thoughts could be to blame either Electro or... Shocker. Cue the belltower Symbiote Spiderman scene, where the best line delivery in Marvel cartoon history happens.
That Wolverine/Nightcrawler combo move is the dopest shot in the MCU hands down. I must've rewatched it 10 times. It was the cold ass look Nightcrawler had he bamfed them outside for me.
There was a scene in the episode where Mr.Sinister fantasizes about " pig pins filled to the brim with mutant test subjects" that is a reference to his roll in the Age of Apocalypse storyline.
@11:59 The quote people like to throw around is "Blood is thicker than water." BUT the FULL quote is "The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb." Meaning, the relationships we CHOOSE to have are far more important to us than the relationships that we're born into.
The prime sentinels were intelligent enough to change tactics in the presence of wealthy, powerful humans when detaining Roberto, they actually stopped & looked around, moments earlier they were definitely trying to kill them
I liked it when they visited Bastions childhood home and his mom turned into a prime sentinel, it reminded me of when Harry and Hermione visited his old home/village (when he was a baby) and Nagini changed and attacked them which also (in the book) took place in 1997
The mask icon is definitely Marvel Girl's (Scarlet Witch's isn't a mask, it's more like a tiara). And the footprint icon, I think it is Beast's because later (4:07 in your video) those same 2 icons are shown along with 3 other icons that, when seen together, represent the 5 original X-men: Cyclops (visor icon), Jean (mask icon), Iceman (snowflake icon), Angel (halo icon) and Beast (paw icon). From the Jean icon comes a DNA icon and then an icon of a pacifier, I imagine alluding to baby Nathan.
The part where Logan falls through the air slicing and dicing sentinels reminded me of the X-Men Origins: Wolverine video game where you fall out of the sky destroying helicopters (I believe) on the way down.
I actually like that they changed Bastion's origin because since he's essentially part human he still has some humanity in there, but he chooses to ignore it and still do these horrible things, which is just terrifying.
Btw, Catherine Disher (Jean Grey/Val Cooper) was also the voice of Jill Valentine in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. The year before that, Alyson Court (Jubilee) was the voice of Claire Redfield in RE2.👍
With Zemo and Doom in the mix, we're definitely getting Avengers soon, more than likely next season, AVX is guaranteed at this point. Scott better assemble his X-Force, he's gonna need them, lol.
We don't need the Avengers in this series. We barely have any actual X-Men. Lol. AvX is definitely something the live action movies can take on. Let X97 focus on X-Men related events.
In the referenced books a portal to the future opens in the center of San Francisco Bridge. Could be what Rachel is fixing, like how we see an older Polaris fixing the magnetic pole
Just watched ep. 9. GOOD GOD this is peak everything. 27 minutes that felt like 10. Every member of the team that worked on this series needs to be studied and they need to teach master classes to everyone else in their field. Is anyone else getting goosebumps after each episode?
@@chrispan3033 Depends on what they'd be going for. Truthfully it doesn't need that much buildup to just convey: mutants exist, they felt persecuted in their countries so they founded their own, then it got attacked, but it really does have a ton more emotional impact and meaning if it's built up over a couple movies before the tragedy. My earlier point to the OP was only that just because it's called an absolute point in an animated universe doesn't guarantee or require it to happen in live action. Absolute points just refer to things that happen in the universe that a time traveler cannot change, and those could be very different events or the same in different universes. The studio is also not going to handcuff themselves to having to depict that in their movie simply because another medium did it if it wasn't in the plans.
@@Bman32xit won't. He's done what he set out to do which is transmit an Electro Magnetic Pulse (EMP) worldwide along Earth's magnetic field to short out all technology, thus, the prime sentinels.
The mastermold plastic duplicates do not make any sense how can you create something that clearly is mechanical and has electrical components to it without using any type of metal? I don’t think plastic is conductive, also plastic melts soooooo there’s another flaw in plastic sentinels
I was thinking the same thing but I came up with: The body and frame could be made of super strong polymers and the electrical components and wires could be fiber optics which is made of glass and is probably allot better than using metal
I think that wolverine is the key to cure to change the prime sentinels back to humans. Wolverine healing factor create the antibodies needs for beast to make a cure.
“He’s declared war” was the line that made me realize what Magneto really did. Pacemakers, airplanes, nuclear reactors etc… a complete shutdown.
Every save from every game erased... forever.
This.
Is.
War.
People with pace makers, on ventilators…
@@askani21He's gone too far this time 😡
No more peace
Oh shit. Is that why Charles' aircraft crashed landed ? 😮😮. Bruh so many people probably died.
The Nightcrawler and Wolverine team up was 🔥🔥🔥
Especially the part when they teleport and we get to see what that looks like . That animation was amazing
And the Summers family one
The song that started playing when Night Crawler arrived was 🔥
@@chipdouglas2430 that was so cool looking
And I got 9 reasons why🤩🔥🔥💯💯🎥
That shot of the Nightcrawler transportation showing how it affected Wolverine was just stinkin awesome! The writing in this series has been so good!
You mean Teleportation*
@@Zenitsu385 correct. Thanks fot catching that
Stinkin. LOL. Bamfs stink of brimstone.
💯🔥
@@Jumpoable lmao the pete holmes x-men sketches are amazing
the fact the Dr doom is calling out Bastion out for war crimes is hilarious
It's Doom. He's a full-on narc who would call people out for war crimes while ignoring all the bad shit he's done.
@@25Erix Well that's Doom, he does everything with a purpose. Be it further self fulfillment or for the betterment of Latvaria.
I don’t know, but that look and mannerisms for Dr. Doom looks like from The Avengers Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, Cartoon Dr. Doom. Same thing for Baron Zemo.
cos aside from his attacks on the F4 and the Earth's Mightiest Heroes, Doom never knowingly committed mass genocide on innocent civilians.
One of my favorite things about doom is that he is an expert at using diplomatic immunity
Omega Level Series Detected
you're goddamn right
Facts
X-M 52 refers to X-Men #52 from 1996, when Bastion made his first appearance.
Seeing wolverine ,and nightcrawler's tear it up was awesome.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: this series is the best thing Marvel has done in years!
Loki was only last year ?
@@JD-py7ek op point still stands. X97 still the best thing
@@JD-py7ekthis is way better then Loki season 2
It really is

The teleport scene I watched like 5x times.. My childhood is being relived in my 40s.
Damn your 40 bruh
Yessir.. Saturday mornings were the shit growing up.. Hell pops would watch and still watches. He's the the one who got me into comics
No one is talking about how disrespectful it was for Sinister to speak fondly about Mengele WITHIN EARSHOT OF MAGNETO.
Was it really fondly? He didn't seem to think much of Mengele working for the Nazis
@@redgyrados2000 Listen to him again. When he says "I knew Mengele. He could have been so much more." That's affection. He just thinks Mengele could have done more than that.

Humans, by tolerating the sentinels wiping out mutants, is effectively paving the way to their own extinction.
And what do you want them to do? Throw rocks at them?
Nightcrawler has been my favorite character in this season. Every line is thoughtfully written and delivered.
Yes they took their time with him. He truly is one of the wisest X-Men
@@moonlitxrogue That quote that he tells Gambit about there not being love without sin, really hit me!
@@moonlitxrogueif you haven't read the Way of X in the Hickman era, I highly recommend it as a Nightcrawler fan

@@twothirdsanexplosiveThis is so neat! Thank you for sharing this, I’ll check it out. I’ve been a fan of his since I was kid!
The Wolverine and Nightcrawler team up fight was just.....Beautiful.
The shot of wolverine being pulled through the portal hole with him was craaaaazy
That’s what marvel supposed to be
Is anyone gonna talk about how X-Men 97 LOVES to have magneto shirtless?
Animators probably- We spent time on those pecs and you WILL acknowledge it!
@@rudrodeepchatterjee I'm not complaining
I'm glad they do😝😝
@@Bbyeli YO? 😦
They are just doing God's work
I had a full nerdgasm during this episode and that was before my favorite X-Men character of all time OMEGA RED showed up.
I grew up thinking Omega Red & Silver Samurai were the biggest threats rights after Apocalypse. I don’t think it’s an accident 2 more of the most human hating mutants are about to go on a rampage.
This truly is the best way to describe it. If you know you know 😂
I'm actually curious if Omega Red is still active in today's comics. He's a relic of a bygone era when the Soviet Union was kicking.
@@25ErixThat’s a great question it’s crazy they included him in this episode. They are really killing it right now with this arc
The prime sentinels pulled a Dahmer on Roberto. "We're not trying to kill him, we are trying to help him"
I was shocked they switched like that 😳
@@moonlitxrogue, I was more shocked that they willingly went w them just because his sellout ass Mom told him to.
Like, WTF?! 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
@@ReparationsNationthey weren't in a situation to fight and NOT look evil. Also good thing they didn't, experienced x men struggled with their first one, both Jubi and Roberto wouldn't be able to take care of em anyway
I thought Roberto would play it off and dance out the room
The Waitress Easter egg has to be the craziest one I've ever seen. Both it being made and being found. Wow.
I've never felt goosebumps like this from a cartoon, since ultron split Thanos in half with the mind stone a few years ago
was TMH?
That still bothers me 🤣🤣🤣
That was the stupidest scene ever, and you liked it😂
Anyone else been waiting for this video?
Yep
🙋♂️
Definitely checked to see if there was a video up right after the episode went off.
Yes
beeeen
Next episode should start with Scott clocking Charles in the jaw so hard it takes both Jean and Wolverine to pull him off. Nothing would make the point of how bad things are better than that.

It literally wouldn't make any sense for him to do that
@@hamhockbeans So would Jean, and she'd side with Cyke. 😁

I might actually agree. It was all over the place and I loved it lol. Only Andor has reached that level of awesome for me.
There was a few episodes like that in Batman TAS, but I do agree this is flipping amazing.
I'm on that hill with you!
Episode 5 Remember It juuust beats this one for me but Gambit was always my fave mutant so I'm biased.
Did anyone else think it was hilarious when Nightcrawler said he was “too blue” as a baby for Mystique
What if the timeline that Wolverine lets everyone down is this one…
That's good! Holy crap
😭😭. Don't say that 😭
😮
i’ve been saying that since genosha, like it’s all starting to line up and they even jokingly said “is this anyone time where wolverines the last to live” or something like that in this episode

This episode was what secret invasion supposed to be this was excellent.
Hell this series is what X-MEN was supposed to be from 2000-2020 in the movies.

The robot on the Stark Expo magazine looks like Rosey the Robot from The Jetsons cartoon.

I've been waiting for you guys . .I absolutely luved this episode. I luv the whole season . The dialogue is just chefs kiss
He’s crashing through all the floors like a freaking Aristocats!! I’m choking!!
I had high hopes for this but it has been way better than my hopes.
I loved how cable says stop bossing me around to Jean! Lol
When I saw the cameos in this episode I lost my mind
gotta respect beau for all the episode insights this season. Hope he does get rehired.
Am I the only one getting "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" vibes when Rogue was surrounded by Prime sentinels?
I liked it when they visited Bastions childhood home and his mom turned into a prime sentinel, it reminded me of when Harry and Hermione visited his old home/village (when he was a baby) and Nagini changed and attacked them which also (in the book) took place in 1997

So much is happening in this series & I’m here for it all.
The little cameo with Spidey was work it alone.

Charles said the line, and that gave me goosebumps at the end of part 1.
10:04 WHEN I GET BACK I WANT THESE DOORS OPEN ALL THE WEY 😂
The icons in Cable’s projection are the original XMen:
Cyclop’s visor, Jean’s mask, Iceman’s snowflake, Angel’s halo, Beast’s paw.
good call
I see jeans mask and beast paw, but where are the others?
@@aliengranpaat 4:08 you get the full screen projection. They’re above Prof X and Magneto icons

Cannot believe how good this is
Goblin queen, Magneto, roboTrish, Deathbird... Gotta love barely hidden kinks
22:24 22:56 I *love* seeing Nightcrawler being such a swashbuckling badass lol.
It reminds me of his character in Wolverine & the X-Men tbh.
A pretty cool detail was that Nightcrawler attacking the prime sentinels was accompanied by Mozart, just like his White House attack in X2
Wow! You totally crushed it! X-Men 97 is such incredible, profound, and action-packed series!
LET THE GAMES BEGIN‼️‼️‼️
Yall made us wait for this video... but it was worth it!
23:03 night crawler’s flip!!!! 🔥🔥🔥

Nightcrawler and wolverine teleporting while killing that sentinel was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The animation and sequence was amazing
People have also been saying that maybe Cable meant he got separated from Bishop when the two of them are coming BACK to the past.
Dont care
I have watched other RUclips channel review on the episode. But I think, this one is the most comprehensive and complete identifying all the details.
With Zemo and Doom in the mix, we're definitely getting Avengers soon, more than likely next season, AVX is guaranteed at this point. Scott better assemble his X-Force, he's gonna need them, lol.
Well Doom is confirmation that the fantastic 4 and silver surfer series are still canon to this series. Epic. Bring on the first family too!
I really hope they save Avengers VS X-Men for the Mutant Saga in the MCU
@@marce.t8732I trust the series way more than the MCU right now. I’d rather they keep the series separate from the MCU so each can do its own thing.
