A little jokey joke.

All I want for season 2 is for Beast to have more to do, add Psylocke to the team, and have the twins reappear to reunite with Papa Magnus.

Did I hear simp for Raven?

 

[Weather Witch]

Would now be a bad time to mention that Beast once did this after he was dumped by Trish Tilby in the X-Men run this season has loosely adapted parts from?

This subplot hasn't aged well at all.

Aged about as well as Jean outing Iceman tbh. I don't miss that era of people claiming that Jean is "forcing him to believe his gay" just because of how badly written that was.

I knew Nightcrawler would appear but didn't expect he'd join the team, so I was thrilled when he did. Iceman and Colossus joining would be perfect.

Iceman would be great need a bit of light humor with Gambit not there.

I would love if they had the balls to properly write a coming out arc for Bobby.

And I like the idea of Jean knowing, not because she's a telepath, but because of the connection they have. Sort of like Ian coming out to Fiona scene in Shameless.

- I'm gay.
- I know.

Season 2 I would like to see roster expanded to colossus banshee iceman and psylocke also wouldn’t mind seeing Emma in a smaller role and hopefully s3 we see her on the roster

Banshee is dead. Not that death ever stopped mutants before.

 

[Lip]

Dazzler too.

 

[TheVileOne]

Dazzler too.

Here's the important thing. Forearm made it out OK. As did Multiple Man.

Out of the iconic X-Men - Iceman, Colossus, Angel and Psylocke are top of my list to join season 2. I'm hoping 1 of them at least makes it to the regular roster. Iceman and Colossus are iconic X-Men. Angel is an OG who seems to always get the short stick in these adaptations. And there should be new female face/s in the team. Psylocke hasn't been a regular in any X-Men cartoon. Emma, Shadowcat and Armor were in the past.

I still don't see Morph as essential and needed. Psylocke as a X-Woman would bring so much joy to me, than Morph morphing to 100 characters. Bishop was such a wasted opportunity. It was kinda surreal they picked him out of the many mutants to join that regular roster, and have that "shot" in the intro. But his time was really short lived. Nightcrawler joining the team and being added in the intro, was a very good move and I'm hoping they would develop him more in the second season.

 

[psylockolussus]

As for Emma. It would be a waste to keep her alive and made her Shine Like a Diamond, in that episode for her not to comeback. Emma is a really popular X-Woman in the comics, and has been made a regular X-Men member in Wolverine and the X-Men and X-Men Anime, so it won't be new if she's running side by side with the X-Men for the next season. But I would save her joining the team for the third season.

In terms of new X-Women, there aren't too many choices. Psylocke and Shadowcat are next in line after Storm, Jean and Rogue, in terms of general importance in the X-Men mythos. I would like to see them both join the team before Emma. Polaris, Dazzler and Rachel are B-tier X-Women who don't really get the spotlight outside of the comics. So I don't see them being added into the team. Armor, Cecilia Reyes, Sage and Marrow aren't huge names in the X-Men comics and I can't see them taking a spot over bigger names. X-23 is a Wolverine clone and why include her this early for the 2nd season. Magik should be utilized in the New Mutants team and Domino should be in X-Force. So its really either Psylocke, Kitty or Emma for the fifth X-Woman role.

No Bobby was never into women he was gay. He just liked men. Bisexuality isn't a thing.

That too

 

[Lip]

Do we have bisexual men in the X-Men?

We need them.

 

[psylockolussus]

I hope they call the second season as X-Men '98. So it won't be seen as a traditional second season. And they can't date these stories in 1997 forever.

 

[Lily Adler]

Are you trying to say Polaris's real power is converting heteros?

Wolverine's son Daken was blatantly and proudly bisexual..

More than likely it's just always going to be X-Men 97. It's a brand now

Wolverine x Sabertooth fans will be proud. 😭

Which is why I ship Alex and Bobby with all of that rivalry.

 

[squeekness]

Didn't bother me in the least.

Prodigy, Shatterstar, Daken and Rictor are the only ones I can think of. Prodigy (and Anole) are confirmed for the upcoming NYX comic starting end of July.
