"Old Jubilee" is called Abscissa and from a similar arc in the comics where she becomes enslaved after a whole bunch of things and jaded. She's voiced by the same actress that voiced Jubilee in the 90s cartoon! So she's an easter egg.
I love how they gave the new voice to an Asian actress and also honored the OG VA by giving them a meaty walk on. They did that with a bunch of the old VA's.
They didn't make it clear enough, but when Forge said he loves Storm, they had been living together for a whole month. Scott confirms that a month has gone by in the next episode. My only issue with the show is the rushed pacing. Some of the more tender moments don't have enough time to breathe.
One thing to consider is that these stories are very sped up, compared to the pace in the comics. So, when Forge goes "but I love you!" feels a bit rushed and out of place, here, but really they've spent a lot of time together and they've grown close. So it's perfectly normal for him to say so.
I think he loved her before he even met her, that's part of why he felt so strongly about wanting to help her. But maybe he's going from loving the idea of her, to actually loving her.
@@colleenbooth2648 i feel like he's pretty up front about wanting to help because of all the damage and death he caused by developing the basis for anti-mutant technology
Magneto saying that if Jubilee trains, she will see many more birthdays is quite a prophetic thing to say, seeing that in many of the "apocalyptic" timelines Jubilee is often known as the last X-Man (don't let the flashiness of her powers distract you, the mechanics behind them actually make her *really* strong when controlled right).
Mojo is the villain in this episode. He was in the original series in the episodes that featured Longshot. He is the main hero that fights against Mojo. He likes making TV shows to keep his people entertained. He has his right hand woman, Spiral, transport the X-men to his dimension. Mojo is like the Jabba the Hutt of X-men villains.
The opening varies each episode. The named characters appear to be the current active X-Men. The scenes after are mostly reanimated scenes from previous seasons although they also include parts of the old opening reanimated or extra scenes from earlier episodes. In all, these scenes seem to set the mood for the upcoming episode in my opinion.
@@patrickwaldeck6681 don't forget she becomes a vampire at some point and has a son who is both somehow iron Man I think and also definitely a dragon ...
Yes, they are changing the opening nearly every episode to reflect the current lineup of the team, but also the snippets of previous stories they show are changing depending on the context of the episode
This episode pays homage to the classic X Men beat ‘em up games from back in the the day. Even The cartridge inside the Motendo is a direct homage to the Sega X Men game from the early 90s
Surprised Angela didn't catch that the Motendo was named after a Nintendo, but looks exactly like the Sega Genesis lol. But yeah, that second stage in the game was heavily referencing the Contra game. Even with the music. I grew up on this stuff.
I was right there with you, the old TMNT games were my first thought when I watched this episode. Boy did I play far too much of those. Just piling some extra nostalgia inside our nostalgia show 😆 Loving It. As a bit of a nod to the old show, the locations in the game here are a speed run of plot points from that series. I suspect you might have filmed it already, but I'm keen to see how your reaction to e5 goes!
One of my favorite comic book tropes is the "useless" powers are actually OP. Jubilee in the comics was mostly a joke until a writer decided the joke was that if she didn't hold back she would destroy the planet. Her and Dazzler are my favorite "I didn't know they could do that" characters. In one comic Dazzler's scared and jingling her keys to light up a dark alley; in another she's using Black Bolt to vaporize an Infinity Gauntlet wearing Thanos.
In the comic “The Resurrection of Magneto” issue #3, it is strongly suggested that The Adversary as well as The Shadow King (seen in the original animated series) and The Goblin Force (a supernatural evil power that empowers the Jean clone Maddy Prior/The Goblin Queen in the comics) along with a couple other evil forces are really all just different representations of the same powerful evil that is against mankind/life.
Don't know if I'm the only one who thought this, but: When the two Jubilees combined their attacks, it reminded me of Naruto Shippuden with the father/son Odama Rasengan. 🌀
I name my old cat after Mojo. But also after Mojo the helper monkey from The Simpsons. Not from Austin Powers, although it was fun when he would disappear and I would get to say, "I lost my Mojo." It was before Mojo the dog in the Transformers movie. I had the idea before that :p
The closest thing to the video game scenes with jubilee is the X-men arcade game that was 4 player in the arcades during the 90s with Wolverine dazzler, colossus, and cyclops
Some how missed this episode. Fun fact (I missed it the first time myself... which is weird now that I know) The Adversary is voiced by the same actress as Storm.
2 Jean Greys starting as one and going off to live separately is the most obvious Gene splitting pun I have sene to date and to have it in a show centered around genetics was... chef's kiss pun level.
The "two guys with guns" video game could be a whole lot of things, but based on the other games you mentioned, I'd put money on it being Contra. By the way, the company that did the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles beat em up arcade game you brought up, Konami, also made an X-Men arcade game. It's definitely one of the main touchpoints for the Mojoverse game, and it might be fun to look up some gameplay on TH-cam to see what it was like. It's from the 80s so the X-Men costumes and roster are even more retro than they are in X-Men 97. Also, yeah, Mojo makes some appearances in the original show. You didn't really miss much, though, he's a very simple (but fun) and straightforward character.
@@chazzerous My Chuck n Cheez had it. And when I was too old for it but my mom would take me and my little brother there it was my saving grace. Luckily also it was super cheap for a token! I made some friends as a kid too, playing together there haha.
Mojo came out in the original series using the X-Men as a means for inter-dimensional creature feeding off on ratings. Forge is a character that popped up in a couple or so episodes in the original series, but mainly a character seen in the future in the time-traveling episodes. Just a fair warning for the next episode, but it's DOOSY. Curious about your reaction...
The thing you have to keep in mind is goings into this genre, especially when regarding a cinematic interpretation of the xomic-source material is alot of liberties are tken by the studios telling the stories to (in a way) make their storytelling unique from the comicbook. Some stuff might make sense , some will not. What I CAN tell you is, is to take all this with a grain of salt - because even the cartoons (as close to the comics as they are) is still off a little bit. So if you don't 'get something' - don't sweat the details. Just enjoy the ride for what it is: a trippy trip down Nostalgia lane. ❤ Also, a friendly warning : Brace yourself for episode 5 💔
I like that Jubilee has matured in this series. She was so childish in the original series. Forge is the one who invented the time portal that brought Bishop to our time. Forge has dated Storm in the comics. If he is Storm’s love interest in the MCU I don’t mind that. I know fans wanted her to be with Black Panther but he is dead now so I am fine with her and Forge. He is also the leader of X-factor. The mutant team Scott’s brother Havoc is on.
I mean, I think Jubilee is about to take a "beat", depending on how you define it... Happy nation, livin' in a happy nation Where the people understand and dream of perfect man Situation leading to sweet salvation For the people, for the good, for mankind brotherhood (We're traveling in time) *Remember it*
You know Angela, just when I thought you couldn't be cooler, you pull out a Superman 3 reference. Did you get mentally scarred by that lady getting turned into a robot too lol?
I can't stand the Logan slander any longer! I feel like the big split is Logan/Scott and I think it's fun. Pretty rule follower vs handsome rebel. Always love your videos and I hope your vacation to our home state was good, I just think Colorado is better.
Nothing really spoilery about this since they don't really touch on it... Forge is like Tony Stark... if Tony Stark didn't have to worry about physics, material limitations, financial limit... wait... he doesn't have to worry about that... Essentially, if Forge can imagine a device, he can build it. But he wouldn't necessarily be able to explain why or how it works. Tony would be able to look at it and figure out the why and how though. If Forge and Tony ever became bros... One-Above-All help the Marvel multiverse...
Forge is still subject to those limitations; but his gift allows him to come up with the solution for those obstacles at the same time as the solution for his primary goal. Forge and Tony share a weakness that they can't always forsee new problems outside of what they are focusing on, or consequences of their choices that are affected by the rest of the world.
Thanks for that. Reading what I posted, I see I didn't quite get the message across that I had in my head. I guess a better way to say it is: Forge is like Tony Stark, but without the genius aspect. (Not to say Forge is dumb, just that he's not a genius). A more metaphorical way to put it might have been: If Tony Stark and McGuyver had a Love Child, it would be Forge.
@@Leekle2ManE Forge is a genius, but not Futurist ss well like Tony. If Tony and Forge had a love child; it would be MacGyver with a cool moosetache. Imagine that.
Jubilee has never been even close to my top ten characters and I think Mojo is an annoying villain that I would be happy to never see again, but this episode was pretty decent. And the Storm/Forge section is very solid.
The last episode before my childhood innocence is irrevocably destroyed 😂 At least this one is fun as hell. Loved the aesthetics of the Motendo world which absolutely needs to be a real game. The Adversary was in the comics in almost this exact storyline - Storm loses her powers and she has to face her fears to get them back. Her 80’s Mohawk look actually comes from that story
Episode 4 is my least favorite in this season. It sounds like a silly spin off. But even so, it's very funny. Also, Brazilian here. Roberto actually says: "I don't even care. It's very dangerous here. I've to get out".
keep up the great reactions angela i was born in 1970 i remember the reagan years and all ...i await the crying soon to come..sorry ..blessed be all..overgrow overshare overcare overseed everywhere worldwide..stay hydrated and safe..cheers all until the next now
The Adversary is a very known villain popular in many many stories that everyone knows. You know him too, an ancient evil being that questions things, feeds on misery, and constantly makes everything go wrong. You just know him by his other name. In the Bible there are different beings, Lucifer, the angel that fell, and The Adversary, better known as the Hebrew name for him, "Satan" (literal translation is The Adversary). Many people sort of merge the two stories and think there's an angel that fell and became the devil, but are surprised to find out they're actually different beings! So Satan, also known as the devil, does not have wings or is angelic or any of the popular media things, this is even more accurate to how he is in the bible, questioning God about Job, Jesus in the desert, Eve in the garden. But marvel is smart and knew that if they straight up put Satan in the comics and the cartoons it would make many parents cry in uproar lol, so instead, "Here's a funny looking owl that calls itself the Adversary :X" So yeah, Lifedeath, the Arc where Storm literally confronts Satan lol... I mean *cough cough* The Adversary.
While appreciate that the Adversary is the being in the comic, I feel like his lack of history in the context of this show cause his appearance here less impactful and more confusing than i believe the writers intended. If you hadn't read the comic, this is a very serious heartbreaking story about self worth and regret, and then suddenly a demon is there to screw things up even more. If they needed an entity to suddnly be an outside antagonist that fed on their negative emotional state, they could have easily brought back the Shadow King. He has a history with Storm already estaished in the original series and is a mental parasite.
I just noticed the shorter hair results in a different wave. Fun. Can't say I was ever a fan of Jubilee, be it comic or cartoon, but this story wasn't bad (and didn't take up the whole episode). Can't blame Magneto for saying no, bbut they could've gone without him...
The opening does change with each episode, usually telling what will feature in the episode, usually based on episodes from the og series. The Advesary is from the comics, usually Forge's villian, but Storm was with him trying to figure out a way to get her powers back, too. Anything else I say could be spoilers, so zipping my lips. I'm definitely enjoying your reaction and looking forward to more.

Alyson Court who was also Loonette the Clown from My Big Comfy Couch. (Canadian kids program) Not sure if you got that show out in America.
I love how they gave the new voice to an Asian actress and also honored the OG VA by giving them a meaty walk on. They did that with a bunch of the old VA's.
Super stoked to see them work her into the series! I just wish they included the flaming inline skates.

Soon. Soon we FEAST.
This is so twisted 😂
Fun fact about the making of this episode: The voice actress for Spiral, Abby Trott, is the girlfriend of Hector Navarro from Heroes Reforged.
He must’ve been so excited and proud!
@@funnylilgalreacts He was over the moon in his reaction
I loved that he didn’t even know which character she was playing until he heard that disapproving noise 🤣
@@imthestein And his reaction being "I know that noise, she's done that to me!" was so adorable.
@@Anduril74871 right!? 🤣
It’s good to see all of the Easter eggs they throw in. The people who made this show are clearly fans of the comics.
Magneto saying that if Jubilee trains, she will see many more birthdays is quite a prophetic thing to say, seeing that in many of the "apocalyptic" timelines Jubilee is often known as the last X-Man (don't let the flashiness of her powers distract you, the mechanics behind them actually make her *really* strong when controlled right).
They sure are pretty little nuclear explosions though.
I love the metaphor of the old Jubilee voice actor giving that talk to the new one.
OMG NEXT EPISODE!
She is in for a ride 😂

Jubilee didn't waste a damn second on her 18th birthday 😂😂😂
Old Jubilee slaps. Jubilee is often looked as as kind of a joke, I love seeing how ridiculously bonkers her future potential is.
@@patrickwaldeck6681 don't forget she becomes a vampire at some point and has a son who is both somehow iron Man I think and also definitely a dragon ...
Spiral and Mojo are both in X-Men 92 in several eps. So yes, we've met them before.
For the record, Jen, "X-men the animated series" was for kids, "X-men '97" is not. It courts the same audience, but knows we have grown up.
"Get out of my house, demon!"
What a man ?! XD
The Adversary scared me my first watch. Was NOT expecting the giant owl demon but here we are!

FLG Angela: "Mmmmm!"
... Somewhere, Appa is crying..... 😢
😅
This show really does get better every episode, it’s kinda insane.
Those shots with the sentinels were off of a real.game.
At least in the show Forge straight up told Storm he was behind the tech. In the comics, Storm found out by listening in on a phone conversation.

This episode reminds me of the "Changing Channels" episode of Supernatural.
about to hit episode 5. that one will really get ya.
Welp. Everyone brace yourselves.
Indeed
Big facts 👌🏾🫡
Some how missed this episode. Fun fact (I missed it the first time myself... which is weird now that I know) The Adversary is voiced by the same actress as Storm.
I've always loved Mojo. His stories were always generally light and fun.
So glad you are back
Grown up Jubilee is giving Admiral Janeway vibes...
I am just disappointed Magneto didn't say "Welcome to die!" or we didn't have the Blob show up and say "Nothing moves the Blob!"

Oh my god, people, stop with the foreshadowing. It's a good thing she records ahead.
After watching episode five I knew way better than to not watch more after
God, i know! Just keep youre fcking mouth shut and just wait rather than allude to anything. I hate people sometimes...they just do not care at all..
The "two guys with guns" video game could be a whole lot of things, but based on the other games you mentioned, I'd put money on it being Contra.

OK, I think you have seen New Mutants. This means you've known Roberto.
I have never seen new mutants
Who was unfortunately whitewashed, as is the trend for him… To think, one of few Afro-Brazilian comic heroes constantly being made “white” Brazilian.
I hope you start out next episode yelling "CONTRA!!!" then continue like nothing happened.
😂
React to adult swim shows
Weakest episode of the season yet it's still pretty great!
And yeah, the intro sequence is changed each time.

I just noticed the shorter hair results in a different wave. Fun.
Can't say I was ever a fan of Jubilee, be it comic or cartoon, but this story wasn't bad (and didn't take up the whole episode). Can't blame Magneto for saying no, bbut they could've gone without him...
this one is pretty weak, id skip this one on a rewatch
I wouldn't, it secretly connects the first and second halves of the story.
How is a mojo return weak??
@@neighborlyfiend1484 cause he doesnt have any connection to whats going on with the rest of the season, feels like a filler episode
@@arobin6695 I've seen that reaction in others too. But it contained too many pre-easter eggs for the other characters to be filler to me.
@@arobin6695 also I've often wondered what happened to mojo after the xmen beat him. Now I can sleep tonight.
ya the opening always has a quick hint/easter egg for the episode.
Next episode please!
The opening does change with each episode, usually telling what will feature in the episode, usually based on episodes from the og series. The Advesary is from the comics, usually Forge's villian, but Storm was with him trying to figure out a way to get her powers back, too. Anything else I say could be spoilers, so zipping my lips. I'm definitely enjoying your reaction and looking forward to more.
