5:20 In the comics, as well as in the Animated Series, the original X-Men line-up consisted of Scott Summers (Cyclops), Jean Grey (Marvel Girl), Hank McCoy (Beast), Warren Worthington III (Angel), and Bobby Drake (Iceman). All five members are depicted wearing their iconic '60s costumes, complete with masks to conceal their identities from the public. At this point, Beast is also shown in his non-furry, human form, an aspect of the character that was only introduced later. This appearance first debuted in X-Men #1 (1963) and continued throughout the '60s. The X-Men then went on a long hiatus before being revived in 1975 with Giant-Size X-Men #1, which introduced a new line-up, including Wolverine, Storm, Colossus, and Nightcrawler, among others. This team was assembled by Charles Xavier to rescue the original '60s X-Men, expanding the roster and ushering in a new era of X-Men comics. The X-Men line-up in the films includes most of the characters from the animated show, except for Gambit and Morph. In the movies, Rogue, portrayed by Anna Paquin, was reimagined as a young teenager who joined the X-Men alongside Logan. She then formed a relationship with Bobby Drake, aka Iceman. This version of Rogue essentially took on the role Jubilee played in the animated series: the young, inexperienced mutant who acted as the audience’s eyes and ears as we were introduced to the world of the X-Men. Although Jubilee did appear in the films, she was relegated to the background and was the same age as Rogue. This interpretation of Rogue was a major departure from her iconic comic counterpart. In the films, she lacked her famous Southern accent, as well as the abilities to fly and wield super strength. In the comics, she gained those powers during her villainous days by permanently absorbing Ms. Marvel’s (now Captain Marvel) abilities. However, due to legal restrictions, Fox couldn’t use any Marvel characters outside of the X-Men IP, so this part of Rogue’s backstory was never explored in the films.
Watching a casual fan of the movies having this reverence for Prof X feels so wrong, because us comic readers usually can't stand him lol. But atleast the version of Xavier from this universe strikes a really good balance between the two versions from the main comics and the movies, I think.
It's refreshing to occasionally get the perspective of someone who isn't a lifelong comic nerd. As a lifelong comic fan myself, X-MEN '97 scratched all my X-MEN itches. But, hopefully, it's also a fun time for people who just want good characters, stories, and action and don't know the lore intimately.
Rogue has the ability to absorb people powers and skills through physical contact however she has little control and risks draining too much and leaving people in comas if she holds on for too long. Which is what happens to Captain Marvel and where she gets her Flight and Super Strength from.
I'm late to this but if no-one has said it yet, this show released this year. It is the continuation of the 90's animated X-men show so there's 6 seasons of backstory. That's why Charles is dead, because that's how the original series ended. You absolutely don't have to see the original series first, though. Charles being dead is by far the most relevant connection to the OG series. Enjoy!
One of us! One of us! One of us!😆😆😆 It's always fun to see another reactor fall down the xmen rabbit hole. I'm gonna subscribe so I can watch you ride this roller coaster of emotions.😊
X-Men comics has always been essentially soap operas, its why everything is dramatic.
Its a lot art in media nowadays.
This show isn't from the 90s, its from a few months ago. Its a continuation of a 90s show but with modern storytelling and animation.
The Avengers earths mightiest heroes is another Marvel animated series that you should check out. I highly redomended.
just know that the wishes you made in this video will be granted.
Jean: Logan, he's coming!
Logan: Who?
I love your glasses!
Just watch X-Men Evolution instead
Nope that cartoon is bad
Why does it have to be one or the other?
@@pinguimalfaro5349 X-men evolution is ten times better than X-men 97
@@BobbyMoore2-mp8wb X-men evolution is trash, is not comic accurate, and the characters are 100x weaker than in X-men 97
@@BobbyMoore2-mp8wb😂😂😂
No, it's a great show but X-Men 97 is far superior

I'm a x-men comic fan I aways liked Prof x
@@T-ON-x5h Sure. Don't tell me you're also a fan of beast in the comics too though. I can excuse baldie, not the war criminal.
@pimtooler6370 he's not one of my favourites but I don't dislike him my favourites are gambit, wolverine & psylock
I like Prof, Scott, and Hank. I’m ignoring the Krakoa shenanigans. Lol
@Uatu-the-Watcher I liked Scott in x-men 97 but found him boring in the og show & the comics

This show is so good. It only gets better from here.
This show does a great job of highlighting the 3 pillars of X-men
1. Action
2. Civil Rights advocation
3. Soap Opera levels of drama and relationships
My mom describes the X-men as "Soap Operas, but ✨️for men✨️"😂

Rogue powers are captain marvels she permanently stole it and rogue can temporarily take anyone’s powers plus skills

X-Men 97' is not old! It just came out this year! Its a continuation of the X-Men animated series from the 90s, but it's new!
Why not watch the original x men tas?
Exactly
The X-Men’s Blackbird get destroyed in flight too often. They’re practiced and trained in rescuing each other from falls.
Yes. Some Sentinels can fly.

I have a request for you to react, Your Name. I wanted to see how you would react. I was hoping you haven’t seen it yet
Yes.
Nathan Summers gets a superhero name. Yes. It’s cool.
:-)
Cyclops redefined the “superhero landing” in episode 1. :-)
Well, you technically joined in season 6. Lol
