We had a small issue with Benny's audio which is why it might sound different. What did you all think about X-Men 97?
It was fantastic but wow I’m really surprised you got this out in less then a day turn round! Your editing skills is on point Plat!
It was a great series with a weird ending that makes me not very excited for next season. Overall 8.5/10 will watch at least one more season
I freaking loved it
It was amazing
I would lov to see Krakoa or fall of x as a cartoon
Great discussion guys, but I do have a bone to pick. The idea that Wolverine under Claremont was "just there" is pure revisionist history.
Wolverine BECAME a superstar under Claremont! He rescued the rest of the X-Men multiple times, either with his indomitable will that allowed him to be the first to escape imprisonment, or with his senses to guide them to safety.
He also had several solo issues where he was the focus, and even the narrator! 133, 162, 172-173 were explicitly an epilogue to his solo mini, 205, 251. And there were many more where he played a large role.
I get that people who aren't the biggest Wolverine fans hate that most regular people think of him as "The X-Man," but that doesn't mean we should pretend that he's insignificant in the comics, the comics are the reason he became popular in the first place.
Wolverine not being a focus was one of my favorite things about the show. Though the most impressive feat was making Cyclops NOT be a tool 😂
I've been saving this video, waiting for the right time to watch yall talk about my favourite show so far this year. Now its take on such a different feeling.
Rest in Peace Benny, we love ya
Motendo was such an important episode. It signified moving on from the original show and not letting nostalgia hold you or the show back. It had something to say it wasn't just a dumb one off.
I honestly loved the show and my son as well, he’s seven years old, and had little experience with marvel past some comic books, so when he saw a show about super heroes who have insane powers he immediately latched on. He loved how the show went, he was on the edge of his seat each week and when he’d come home Wednesday he would immediately want to watch the show after his homework. Its a great show for all ages and it really continues the feels of nostalgia while upping the factor in all departments. (Also daredevil does speak to cloak and dagger after getting out of the broken window)
I enjoyed the Motendo episode because of what it symbolizes. The point of the episode is to show that the show is about to take a new path from the original series
I get that you guys are nit-picking…. I loved every moment. I got sucked in. Even the Motendo episode, seeing Jubilee turn 18 and see what her future powers could be like was cool!
I think we will get a Marvel animated universe!
We won't
I said that day one. Animation don't have aging actors. The costumes can be 100% accurate and the stories.
lol Fabian Cortez out here catching strays!
Benny don't need no mic to be heard!!!!!!!!! 💪
Ugh I miss Benny so much :(
I never had though cyclops was badass until this series i have been sleeping on scott summer
Bruh just wait till Scott kicks out Xavier from the school, hooks up with Emma Frost, and starts being the new Magneto.
You don’t read comics then 😂😂😊
@@thoarnejones6805 cyclops never acted like magneto tho. at no point did he want mutant supremacy or mutants to murder humans. all he ever wanted was mutants to stand up to oppression.
I'm with Sal and Hussan-I loved the pacing and that each episode was significant. As for the Motendo episode, it definitely wasn't my favorite but it also felt like an important part of the arc for the audience in signaling "yeah, we can't stay here in the comfortable, nostalgic, filler episode world."
I couldn't believe (and was so psyched) to see the Adventures of Cyclops and Phoenix setup! I was talking about it earlier when they had Nathan, never expecting them to bring it in!
Also, love the episodes where you all really love what you're talking about. ❤
Motendo showcased what Jubilee SHOULD be doing, those colorful focused blasts actually did lasting damage to Bastion in the final fight.
Her plasma shot is deadly at close range.
We just need a continuation of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes! Christos Gage literally wrote out a season of ideas and it tied into Wolverine and the X-Men. Spider-Man continuing is the one though.
Emh might be too new to have people high up have nostalgia for it, wait 10-15 years itll probably be revived
@@kadegetslaid634 It’s honestly not popular enough, but as far as shows that have the most potential where a continuation makes sense after X-Men ‘97, it’s EMH.
@@DanV900 definitely, especially since it's in the same continuity as spectacular spidedman and all the other yostverse shows and movies, more potential than the 90s universe
@@kadegetslaid634 EMH wasn’t in the same continuity as Spectacular Spider-Man. Josh Keaton was just supposed to be a cool nod until he was replaced by Drake Bell honestly. Greg Weisman himself said this 2 years ago.
“We felt the Avengers didn't yet exist. The FF did. Hulk was considered a myth. Ant Man existed, but no one knew about him yet. Tony hadn't been injured; Thor hadn't found his hammer, and Cap was still frozen.”
Then in 2010, he said he had nothing to do with EMH since he was working on Young Justice. EMH’s ending was meant to tie into the beginning of Wolverine and the X-Men where it does have more potential than the 90s universe. Yost said it was supposed to be the same Spider-Man from Spectacular Spider-Man, but Weisman wasn’t on the same page as him.
@DanV900 ah had no idea! I always thought it was in the same universe as spectacular congirmed, still my headcannon but it's cool to know what they were doing thanks for telling me
Benny's wrong about the animation. It's amazing and stands toe to toe with big anime hitters, and wears its anime influence on its sleeve. He has a problem with the art style, and I really wish people wouldn't conflate character design and animation.
Okay it's good but let's not put Xmen 97 animation on the same level as JJK or DEMON Slayer
Dude the animation is cheap action animation it’s not bad but it’s not amazing
@@lionkingquan you literally have no idea what you're talking about
@@Amuro1X no you don’t the characters designs are pretty similar to the old show it’s the animation that’s changed the most
@@lionkingquan yeah obviously the animation is different. And it's leagues better than the old show.
Spiderman had a cameo on the earlier episode right aside from the Peter Parker cameo in the last episode.
The only major complaint I have with X-Men '97 is just the speed at which things happened. It definitely felt like there were times where important information was dropped and then we were on to the next thing, or we didn't get to sit with the fallout of another thing for just a little bit longer. Add 3 more episodes, perhaps there would have been a bit more time for everything. Still, this is a fantastic start to a new show while also being a phenomenal continuation of the original show.
Just binged the show yesterday and it was awesome, loved every minute of it. I actually really enjoyed the Motendo short.
Also, did you catch the reversal of the bit they did in the first Fox movie? I had to pause it and scream in my pillow.
I strongly disagree with benny on this one. I prefer if they just reference the arcs, i dont care for two episodes of goblin queen, one and done was perfect for me. ❤
Well, not everyone read the comics and probably would prefer major story beats to be fleshed out/paced better. One episode was absolutely not enough for the amount of drama they tried to milk out of Pryor later.
I agree with you I always hated when we got 3-5 part arcs back in the og series
Rest in peace benny
I love x-men 97 it’s really amazing and such a great show.
Benny being close to middle age doesn't shock me because he's one of those TH-camrs I've been following for well over 10 years at this point and many people when they start blowing up on this site were in their twenties and thirties
Robert Hayes from Airplane 1 & 2 was the voice of 90's Iron Man
Frankly if they ever did a new avengers show, they need to set it in this same universe, but build it off the back of Earth’s Mighiest Heroes, the best avengers show we ever got.
Benny... I hope you're doing ok.
:(
Magneto didnt quite look right - i agree with Benny
I love closure between seasons or Saga. So sequence of event execution was great.
Did you guys forget about the actual Spidey cameo in episode like episode 7? Lmao. We see Spidey and Peter in this show along with MJ and Flash Thompson. Rick Jones is also behind them in a car.
I think the Black Panther thing is weird because he was already an established as T'Challa in the 90s series of FF and DeMayo claims it was a decision by Marvel to make him use T'Chaka.
Regardless, this show is Marvel at its best. The animation for fight scenes is outstanding but when they're just standing around just like in anime, its choppy and unimpressive which is fine. I dont need super expressive animation when theyre talking as long as the dialogue is strong and art style is good. Which the artsyle is great. I think its a perfect way to not blow your budget up.
Happy Early Bday Benny.
Great video
I binged the old one last month
Loved 97 as a continuation the visuals are so good
Hey happy early birthday Benny
Lets do Fantastic four 98, my team needs a good adaptation
Happy birthday Benny.
At the very least I think we get that Spider-Man follow up in this universe
It annoys me you guys arent getting more views 😭
More Wolverine next season
21:30 that one is difficult cause it’s legit sounded RAS when sounded out and looks like ras rather than rashe or whatever people say
Speak your mind Hassan LOL
31:10. Sal nailed it! Couldn't agree more.
Usually I don't mind spoilers, but I think this time I will come back after I've watched '97. I was trying to watch the original series again, but I might just rewatch the parts I loved then get into this. I finished season 1, it just feels like it will take forever and I really want to watch '97.
I thought it was Aurora Monroe. But Ororo does make sense since she is from Africa. 😁
I think out of all the spiderman I would want them to continue would be speclacular spider-man. The 90s was ok but I just love spectacular more.
I think forge was saying 'Ro 'Ro like a nickname
Can we get a late logan review with hassan and dan?
Ahhhh I see he learned from Sal.
That could be corn not gold lmao!!
It felt like they just grabbed a bunch of the big ooooos and ahhhhhs and threw it at a storyboard. It wasn't just rushed.
It's funny the original did Fatal Attractions first. They just threw in the other parts they didn't use the first time.
I would like them to bring back marvel’s earth’s mightiest heroes.
Lets gooooooooooooooooo
This has been my favorite mcu show i realy hope they stick to this formula in season 2
I am surprised at how great this show is. I want a new arcade style video game based on the animation from this show.
Yay
I wonder if they are going to do Kang in the next season
Why did it cut at the middle?
I hope they bring back EMH
So yall want 90s Spider-Man > Spectacular Spider-Man!!!???
Spider-Man talks, and it is his voice actor...
Motendo was for me and the 5 Jubilee fans out there. She was the first X-Men i met lol. Also they actually brought it back in the end with her fighting bastion so at least it paid off
Agreed, i actually loved it, plus i LOVE mojo world, its so goofy
When Rogue throws Captain America's shield,I imagine a head canon off screen scene of Cap tells Iron Man to help fly over and pick up the shield through a walkie talkie😂
The way they talk about animation and how it should be like this don't really know how animation is made and I get it animation's expensive very expensive so if you want more things to look like X-Men 97 they would be a lot more expensive where what if it's just a cheap fun show Which I don't think would be better because it has better animation then you just watching for the animation and not the show. Good animation does it mean good story or good show I personally love what if I think it's really fun and I think the art style is fine and the animation is really good for 3d
I liked the new show. I do feel though that this show was made for adults but talks down to us as adults instead of being for kids and talking up to kids like the original. it is like the writers knew the assignment and had the same one but went about them in two different directions.
how does it talks down to adult?
I'd be down to see you guys do a Marvel/DC animation comparison series. I'd also love to see a pitch session for storylines that you want to see adapted into animated movies
Can we wrap up spider man unlimited am i the only one that cares?
Yes.
@@AbsolutelyMarvelDC That hurts.
It was good but marvel has made better stuff since covid. Also from what has been hinted beau demayo being gone is a good thing
Are we getting a Hassan x Hasan Piker crossover 😬
The problem is they will not make a spiderman 98 show because they already have a spiderman show .
Disagree if fans want it enough, they go make it.
X-Men 97 is fun BUT I don’t want marvel animation to be this perpetual cycle of “What If and shows from 30 years are back” I don’t want the old fantastic four or iron man and his bs force works stuff. Get us a new FF show.
We need Dan Slott Spiderman run animated - YES
Hear me out. Beau DeMayo gets hired by DC and brings back Justice League the animated series! And does storylines like injustice and the Batman that laughs
Do we need more low iq batman fanboy crap? Can we not spread the love to the other characters that need some attention?
I disagree with Sal completely. These were my favorite X-men storylines when I was a teenager.
I guess it all depends when you start reading x men lol
These guys confusing animation and art style at times is kind of annoying
Just nitpicks on my end. Black Panther shouldn’t be Tchaka because he’s dead in this continuity. That bugged me and sapped the hype of seeing Panther jump out the window know it was Tchaka. I think the pacing is a biiiiit fast. I can tell the acting for certain character was suppose to be akin to the 90’s show with some of the hamminess. And while I get it was intentional, I wish they could’ve toned it down a little. Particularly for Cyclops and Jean, because I know how good Ray Chase and Jennifer Hale are as actors; so I could tell they wanted them to sound a certain way. But I’ve heard Hale voice Jean in other things where she sounds less exaggerated, and I’ve heard Ray Chase in many other things able to act in more subtle ways. But overall, I was very satisfied with the show. I look forward to improvements from the next season. Oh and I guess Morph romantically loves Wolverine, confirmed by the creator. But I heard the actor of Morph also said he doesn’t like the trope of the gay friend lining for their straight friend…so I wonder what’s up with this? Because Wolvie definitely doesn’t love Morph like that.
When did tchaka die? The fantastic four show isn't cannon to the rest of the universe (if you're talking about that)
@@kadegetslaid634it’s not? When was that established?
@TheShockVox since the 90s, only the spiderman and x men share a confirmed universe, the other shows are lose/can't fit in the continuity
It was very noticeable for me as well that Wolverine was pushed out of the spotlight. After watching the first 2 episodes of this series I watched the old one and Wolverine had a lot more depth in comparison. In this new series it's like he cant even speak sentences that have more than a few words whereas in the old series he would be one of the main characters the whole time and talking constantly.
i mean don't you want more exploration with other characters? you know that there more x-men characters to explore than just wolverine. i like that he was just a side character, so the show had more time to develop the other character. the show is called x-men, not wolverine and the x-men.
@@johnthai6188 Yes I did enjoy other characters getting the spotlight, it just felt like Wolverine in the new series was like a Cave-man especially in comparison to him in the old series lmao
@@ryans6309 what do u mean by "Cave-man"?
@@johnthai6188 Because like I said earlier, the few times he did speak it was VERY VERY SHORT sentences, and at other times him just making sounds like some sort of grunt when responding to someone.
@@ryans6309 and is that a bad thing? we had a lot of wolverine content before, so i don't think it's bad that the other characters get's most of the focus. also you have to understand that this season had only 10 episodes, so they were limited on time: for example the goblin queen story was only 2 episodes long. i'm fine with logan being on the back burner, if we get to develop the other characters more. most of what logan says or "grunts", fits in line with his character.
