They talked about it in the Xmen thread.


And we already have an AI upscaled version, this one is probably worse.

Yeah was great. Cyclops is back and he is The Man.

Great cliff hanger at the end of episode 2. Would have been fantastic if I didn't know what it meant. But shows how many comic plots were left hanging from this show, hence why more seasons were welcome/needed.

Also wouldn't want Disney doing their own take as their animated Marvel shows are way to kiddy.


Random note: Does Morph take on the physical abilities of those he copies? Because that's what his power description at the end suggests.

Link?

Had forgotten about this, looking forward to it.

What are you, a teenage emo?

X-men was never good! Marvel's entire Schick was aimed at the soap opera MTV generation.

First two were good, looking forward to the rest.

My only complaint is Magneto's costume, looks stupid. I know it's a close copy to one he wore when he went hero for a bit in the comics, but it's still stupid.

didn't really care for the ltest episode

Ep4 was lame, I ended up fast-forwarding though chunks of it.

** I also want to see more of SunSpot in action.

A Jubilee episode facepalm

Is it important to have seen all the previous seasons from the 90's, before watching?

^ I mean, it might help just to understand some of the dynamics between characters, but I don't think it's necessarily a strict prerequisite.

Look at Archive.org dude, AI enhanced.

Check out Gargoyles while you're at it.

There you go. Phone friendly but i recommend hooking a laptop to a TV.

Once again, despite Colossus being a huge component of the X-Men during that time period, he's nowhere to be found. 2 episodes in TAS and no mention of him in '97.

Well he is Russian, can't have a positive portrayal of Ivan in this day and age knowwhatisayin? 🙄

Well Morph did transform into him (and his sister), so it's not like he's completely forgotten.

But yeah would have preferred him or even Ice Man (Cold Comfort was a great episode they never revisited) joining the team to Bishop and Morph.

They didn't even explain why Bishop is there, last we saw of him, him and his sister returned to their time IIRC.

Nostalgia pandering that's why.

This Xmen show was only made for nostalgia and is proof they are creatively bankrupt.

That's what so bad about it. They showt they remember him enough for a throwaway, but they forget their team needs a designated strongman aside from Rogue.

Could be something as simple as character property rights. Colossus is currently being used in Deadpool, so maybe the studio couldn't secure/afford the rights to show him full time even animated.

They only needed Colossus to promote the "It's Time to Fight Dirty" rallying cry the loony left was doing then. The fight with Juggernaut.


He deserves better.

He was only in 2 episodes of TAS
Maybe 6 episodes of Evolution despite every other Acolyte of Magneto getting at least double the screen time.
Only 2 episodes of Wolverine & The X-Men
A non speaking cameo in the X-Men anime
Etc...

It doesn't make sense for one of the most prominent and most powerful members to be in less than a dozen animated appearances of the span of 20+ years.

I'll take your word for it as I don't really recall specifics of those shows.

But with what you said, could be audience appeal, as those shows and X-Men 97 are still largely targeted at a younger viewers, even though grown-ass adults like us watch them.

I can't see a nefarious reason and I am a Colussus fan.

That's the whole thing, there are tons of fans aside from me asking where he and other popular X-Men are and why they aren't around. People want to see him.

Disney owns Fox, Robbie.

He was very much intended to be a regular member in Pryde of the X-Men.

But we only got the pilot episode of that show, unfortunately.

Obvious fake news

This last ep was a complete snore-fest until the end.

Did like seeing Nightcrawler. Did laugh at the lame explanation as to why Magneto can finger Rogue's butthole without suffering a power drain.

Was happy to see Gambit get his stupid Cajun shrimp-eating-ass blasting into nothingness, as I hate that character.

When does that episode air?

I'm telling your wife about your secret deviant perversions, steveo!

episode 5hit me hard.. such a wondrous freaktastic episode

I hope Magneto gets so mad over the attack, he loses that stupid bare-shoulder costume and goes back to his red classic or robes.

latest episode was pretty decent

good too see Cap

Cable didnt have that much screen-time in the original run of X-Men TAS either, but here he had just enough time to reconcile with Scott and Jean; to the extent I expected anyway.

Feel maybe Bastion couldve gotten a bit more time though. Is probably my 2nd favorite X-Men villain at this point; he already left a quite an impression in the stuff I had seen him in before X-Men 97, but how he was done here solidified it.

Meanwhile, poor Sinister. Guess he had it coming though.

Season 2 is looking to be the GOAT with how it was set up, albeit at the cost of the season 1 finale being kinda rushed as mentioned.

Well yeah he was more of a mystery background character in the original run. But now that they've explained his heritage, and the season even began with his birth and sacrifice as a big plot point, I was expecting more from him when he returned.

That said, I wouldn't say he was shafted or anything, and his TK battle against Jean was cool to see.

Anyway looks like more of his background next season.

Yeah he's a good villain.

What did Sinister mean about him being one of those old X-Men rogues (or something to that effect)?

this was a well written and real excellent series shame it was only 10 episodes.

i thoroughly enjoyed it as tis gives me great hope for the live action version

second season upcoming

This show was excellent Magneto got redeemed after his meh showings at Genosha and against Goblin Queen...

Hope we get some Omega Red, Sabertooth and Juggernaut episodes in season 2...

In terms of X-men, I want Colossus and Iceman.

Taco, bro. His name is Sabretooth, not Sabertooth. 20 years of kmc education and all for nothing

Oh of course!

Wouldn't mind Archangel as well.

In the original series Shard (Bishop's sister) says he's destined to join the X-Men (although that could have just been a reference to the comics).

Warren is pretty problematic in TAS universe.

We see him on pictures in the mansion and during flashbacks.

But there's no other mention of his relationship with the X-Men.

Aside from that, he was well done.

it was rogue putting a sentinel in a stunner for me.

wonder why the writer was fired?

Not sure tbh. Think that part mightve flew over my head too.

Originally posted by staxamillion

Apparently had something to do with his OnlyFans account that Disney executives found creepy. I would have to get an idea of the OF shit he was on though to say whether him getting fired was justified.

Who cares what the writer does on his own time as long as isnt hurting anyone?
