X-Men ‘97 X-Men ‘97 News and Discussion Thread (TAG SPOILERS!!!!)

[psylockolussus]

I didn't like the penultimate episode.

Spoiler

Too much Magneto, and the replacement costumes look worse compare to the original costumes.

 

[legendkillin]

I watched it way too early to probably focus, going to require a 2nd watch.

I did like

Spoiler

Storm returning, Beast finally taking something down, Morph Hulk!

 

[kguillou]

Coddamn this show is next level. This entire episode felt like CLASSIC X-MEN!

AND THAT FINAL SHOT!!

 

[Drizzle]

No way would Fox Kids have allowed them to do THAT 30 years ago.

 

[kguillou]

Heck I'm shocked DISNEY + let them do that NOW.

They've embraced more mature content on the platform so a TV-14 X-Men cartoon isn't pushing the envelope too much. Though it did feel like it started out playing it a little safer until episode 5 when things got more intense.

I didn't think they'd go through with that, but oh boy. Shocking. Another fun cameo this week, courtesy of Morph.

I'm not prepared for this to end, these eight weeks have been really special.

It's great seeing them not being afraid of pushing boundaries with this show which is something I was very skeptical about when this series was first announced but man was I proven wrong.

This show just keeps getting darker every week and I really appreciate that, especially when it feels like a natural escalation and not just something being done for the sake of shock value.

That ending really caught me off guard.

 

[Venom 1988]

I think I liked the last episode a smidge better but overall still loved this episode.

Spoiler

Love seeing the older costumes in action and them splitting into the gold/blue teams. Think it's pretty cool they are adapting Fatal Attractions and curious to see how this all ends next week.

It really gives off the same vibe as reading some of the classic X-Men stories from the comics that pushed some boundaries and definitely weren't meant for younger readers. I love the original animated series but there was only so much they were able to get away with. With this there are less restrictions.

No way would Fox Kids have allowed them to do THAT 30 years ago.

They kinda did in season 4 two-parter Proteus. Where Kevin as Proteus tears Wolverine apart, while trying to stop him from wrecking havoc on the citizens of Scotland.

 

[TheVileOne]

As revolutionary and groundbreaking as X-Men The Animated Series was for its time, it's dated due to the boundaries of its era and network standards and practices. X-Men '97 doesn't have that problem, so we can actually see Wolverine cut and stab things.

 

[Kane52630]

Me when he did that thing and the other guy did that thing to him.

 

[JP]

I have NO idea what the finale is going to entail.

Still nowhere near as graphic.

Imagine this popping up right after that scene were it still on Fox Kids:

 

[BlackFox]

Damn good episode, at first I was like nah Rogue what are you doing, then I was like, YES Morph I love what your doing, then I was like no Cable stop doing that but then I was like Woo-Hoo Wolverine saves the day! but then it was like what the **** has Magneto done!!

 

[kguillou]

Spoiler

Still nowhere near as graphic.

LMAO!

 

[kguillou]

Besides all the shocking moments though guys didnt you all just feel GOOD just seeing the X-men...being the X-Men? Seeing everybody suited up in their classic 80's costumes and going to fight Magneto and save the day...it just felt like we were reading classic X-men books.

I swear I had no idea how much I needed this team back in my life before this show..

The MCU X-Men has some pretty big shoes to fill, not only to live up to the legacy to the good Fox X-Men movies, but now to match the crazily high bar set by this phenomenal show.

 

[The Caped Knight]

I have some idea, let’s see if it all leads to the inevitable arrival of Onslaught. At the very least Xavier and Magnus will come to serious blows that will probably damage their relationship irreparably . I doubt they’ll be playing chess anytime soon.

 

[CyclopsSummers]

Onslaught ? maybe in season 2
WTF these 70s occurate costumes are doing here
Its ridiculous like Jean in House of X era comics I didnt understand why bringing back her 70s outfit style

I hope they would have their Utopia(2008) era costumes countpart like Jubilee ... never mind. I hope MCU x-men movie will have

 

[legendkillin]

So without knowing this storyline, might we get bone claw Wolverine. It looked like Magneto is basically ripping that adamantinum out. That can slow him down, but at the core Wolverine is still Wolverine.

Spoiler

Didn't they have to use their old uniforms from the display on Muir Island since it seems all their stuff in the mansion was destroyed?

I'm assuming storm and Forge quickly made hers before coming 🤣

 

[psylockolussus]

Spoiler

i really don't want to see Magneto and the Wolverine in season 2.

I want the other characters to shine. And no to Onslaught as well.

 

[Superhero 101]

This last scene is beautiful I never thought I would see this ever being adapted
