“Jean, baby, it’s not what you think.”
“I’m psychic, Scott. It’s what you think.”
Jean : " And i caught you on the counter"
Cyclops : " It wasnt me"
“Whatever Jean, Emma Frost is my future. You’re the past.” 😎
That retort from Jean was so hard lol
😂😂😂
@@AzulApe And his present :P
The first 20 minutes where pure soap opera, the last 10 where game of thrones red wedding 😢😢😢
When I saw Magneto die my first thought was somebody should go check on Jessica 😂
No body no crime.
😅😅😅😅😅😅
the amount of anime influences in this show is noticed, and appreciated. also, this episode changed my perception of comic adaptations. speechless.
@@cruzinthruspace everything in art has influence from something before. that does not invalidate it from having its own identity, or being original.
@@cruzinthruspaceyou must not watch anime if you see this and don’t think it’s inspired from that style. Shit, even the actual 90s show showed influence from it.
@@cruzinthruspace look closer at the type of animation they use, is the same style in many animes,
Actually, a good majority of the animation battle sequences are done by a South Korean animation studio. Most people will associated anime with Japanese studios (since it is a part of that culture) but you are now seeing a lot of anime content produced by non-Japanese studios such as South Korea and China, mainly due to close proximity and also in Europe. An example of such is one studio (The Line Animation studio) whom are not a full-fledged studio. Normally they do a lot of animated promotional content used in commercials and short form visual medium. They are that good.
@@MikeBeatz2007 i appreicate your knowledge on this, as im into animation as well, gobelins is one of my fav studios
Gambit and Magneto have always been my favorite X-Men characters. Ugh! I cried so many tears over animated characters.
Me too girl. They’re one of my faves
Same my whole life Gambit been it 😂
This episode made me feel so much! Gambit getting his time to shine, losing him right after messed me up then the last line tore me 😢 I PRAY they keep this show alive for many more decades!! This is the best Marvel anything since Endgame. Hands. Down.
The moment we saw The Watcher up in the sky early on, we absolutely knew this was not going to end well. Hell's bells what an episode.
When the Watcher shows up, we should know what's about to be hitting the fan.
I had to pause and rewind to see if I saw that correctly. Smh
The moment we saw Genosha we absolutely knew this was not going to end well.
I saw him, processed it, and then any level of mental prep I did was thrown out the window and ended with me like ACTUALLY sobbing. What an ep. Crazy
This is the best xmen episode ever by far! Man they doing a good job with these.i literally watch each episode twice if not 3 times
I died when they compared cyclops to the R. Kelly interview. “I’m fighting for my life”
“I gave you 30 years of my career!” 😂
“I think the MCU should send us all to…. Summer School 🥴”
I legit gagged on my coffee. Thank you Jessica for calling Evan out on all our behalf.
“ Your Balls are touching the table “ 😂
😅😅😅
Magneto just knows how to chill
I guess you could say they were magnetic. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
of all the x-men franchise animations and live action movies that exist, this episode alone tops all of them. goosebumps, jaw drops, and tears the entire episode.
Agreed
💯😩
X men and Wolverine series!
They got Ace of Base's Happy Nation for the dance music! What a 90's throw back
The writers room wrote the hell out of this episode I was left GAGGED!
RIP Gambit 💜
I refuse to believe he’s gone forever. They might be able to use some time travel devices to bring him, Magneto, and everyone else that got vaporized back to life. I’m not losing hope! ✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻
Gambit is technically an Omega level mutant. He had his abilities reduced by Mr sinister.
Facts. His true power is OP af. To think that this is the nerf'd version of him
Mr. Sinister might be Gambit son.
if he comes back from the dead by apocalypse sure
A FEW CHARACTERS BROKE UP WITH LIFE
I SPIT MY WATER OUT 😂
Ikr like damn 😅😢
Magneto clearly listens to Prince.
Jessica's visceral reaction to the "Summer School" pun is fueling me.
This was everything I freaking needed. I cried I was involved.... the action.... the animation... 🔥 top tier!!!
Finally I can have some group therapy! You guys I’m NOT ok!!
😭😭😭
Same!
It was the X-men version of The Red Wedding. IYKYK
ROUGE IS DANERYS!?!?
Gambit is an Omega level mutant. Sadly he had Mr Sinister remove a part of his brain because he couldn't control his powers. He used to blow things up without even touching them.
I can’t believe. I shed some tears. It lets me know X-men has been part of my life since I was 7 😮😢
Wolverine was ready to fight Apocalypse when the baby was coming (Cabel), we see Apocalypse in this episode intro, the rats symbolize one of the 4 horseman of the Apocalypse, Gambit was once a horseman for Apocalypse in the comics... oh yeah, everything is coming together.
This episode was a masterpiece! I need the next episodes of X-Men 97 ASAP! 😭🔥🙏🏽
It’s gonna be the storm episode
“Push me to the edge, all the mutants dead” is crazy 😂😂
I am ✨UNWELL✨ after this episode
Gambit was omega level when he was younger he went to mister sinister to block it
Best line of the episode:
The music's changing and you need a chair!
😳
Actually could you explain this line to me please? I've never heard this expression before and don't quite get it.
@@shanejohnson8024 it's a play on the game musical chairs. Basically saying cyclops needs to pick a clone before the music stops and he loses.
He needs something else to grab on to to keep going on.
There is no love without sin!
Yet u let ur world leaders behave like terrorist!
I can’t feel u….
Best line this week goes to Gambit. Nightcrawler got last week’s with the quote about love & sin
Did Leech syphon off Magneto's power and cause him to fail to defeat the Tri-Sentinel or was he powerful enough to mask his powers enough to that the Tri-Sentinel thought he was actually dead?
Oooh, good question!
Doubtful, he can also boost powers as well.
probably lower his powers. i dont think he got his powers masks and survive the huge blast , nightcrawler almost die and was hit for one second when he was teleporting.
I legit did the Leonardo DiCaprio, spitting meme when the watcher showed up
Could it just be Cassandra nova looking up since she has those types of power like Xavier
So, Magneto became an Avenger before he died
Indeed. Indeed he did
The jokes were TOO savage early on in this Breakroom episode. lol
There’s no way it was Cassandra Nova who sent the mega Sentinel. Narratively, you need to introduce a character before they do something so monumental as a genocide, not after. It was likely Apocalypse as hinted by the clip of him in the opening credits.
apocalypse was hinted because of cable
It's has to be Cassandra Nova it explains in the comics that Cassandra Nova sends a sentinel army along with a third head wild sentinel to destroy Genosha, the same 3 head sentinel that we saw in the episode.
Why would Apocalypse use Sentinels to kill his own kind? Y'all do not use logic at all. It ain't Nova either, if anyone paid attention Bastion is coming.
Cable didn't say a woman, he said "HE'S coming".
I know what happened in the comics. But this cartoon always takes story arcs from the comics and follows the same narrative beats but changes details around. Prime example is Nathan was infected with the techno organic virus by Apocalypse in the comics but the show had the same event and switched it to Sinister. Again, my point is from a story telling standpoint, you can’t have a major series altering event happen and the cause of it is someone audiences never met before. Imagine if the first time you saw or heard of Thanos in the MCU was after he did the snap offscreen.
Apocalypse is just my guess but he has no qualms about killing mutants. He wants everyone to fight everyone, mutants and humans alike, so that only the strongest survive. But it could be Bastion. Although we haven’t fully seen or heard of him yet either, at least we already know about Sentinels so a Sentinel disguised as a human wouldn’t be completely out of left field like Cassandra Nova would be.
Mystique is involved somehow. She might end up being that senator.
When Xavier's statue fell, there was a mutant with wings just standing there.
That scene was heartbreaking
Monica Rambo watch out for that tree 😂
I can't believe how great this show is and how far they have gone with the violence. I'm actually speeches after this episode
“We read the comics guys”
“What’s cables powers?” 🤣😂
Last episode, there was a photo of Forge in uniform between 2 men, one of whom was obscured - a man wearing the same outfit as a villain from the comics called Bastion. His ties to the sentinels and Master Mold feels like it may be relevant to the Genosha attack in this episode.
So few people remember Bastion and the Zero Tolerance story. It definitely feels like it’s pointing to him using Forge’s designs.
Bastion was at the party up in the top floor during the dance.
Magneto caught a glimpse of him
@@murk4552 What's the timestamp for that? I've been going through the gala section but I can't find any matches for the Bastion's outfit from the photo.
i never imagined this show would be this good
Jessica and Jay are hilarious breaking down this episode down
I think this is the start of theMoira McTaggart timeline reset arch. They have already introduced clones with Madeline Prior. It is not with the special 5 that can bring back mutants in a new body with their memories up to the point they die. It even fits with Sinister being involved.
no body metion that Emma saw Scott and Jean agrument and gave a devilish grin.
Emma knew that Madelyn was with Scott I think
Heck yea!! I been waiting all day for yall to do a reaction video! This episode was so good. I can’t believe how emotional I got at the ending 🥺
This is my favorite non-Eric, non-Coy Breakroom lineup for Marvel!!! (I mean, R. Kelly jokes...:) and finger-pointing at the Watcher over the slave trade?) Love it when ya'll dissect serious Marvel!!! And this *is* serious Marvel!!! THANKS!!!!
Apocalypse is also a psychic. Why do you think in the OG series Everytime Xavier or Jean tried to read his mind or anyone working for him, they were forced out? Apocalypse put mental barriers in.
That man has all the powers😂😂😂
"Your balls are touching the chair" 😂😂😂 facts
Guys, the death of superman pose at the end 😭😭😭
That moment.. yes it was
The gambit death scene was soooooo good! Remi was a beast! Love seeing the xmens powers being represented faithfully! This show is the best nostalgia bomb!
6:32 naw i definitely felt like there was some “grooming” behavior with Magneto and Rogue. It did not feel right.
It was awkward/bizarre to say the least
In robes is wild
@@surrcram 😂i didn't even think it was a robe. i thought it was just an open shirt
I think she was still of age, and he would be for consent.
@@coribug42 it's the extreme age difference that i'm referring to
Gambit was born an omega but had some Sinister weaken his powers so he could control them
Yall ain’t got nearly the reaction we alll needed and that moment truly deserved!!
We saw Sebastian Shaw dying (apparently), but not Emma Frost! It must mean something, she is going to have a big role.
The only reason why Gambit isn't an omega level mutant is because Mr. Sinister removed part of his brain so he wouldn't blow everything up...
If I remember correctly Cables power set was added so Rob Liefield could justify how he could hold the cartoonishly large guns he drew them with.
Don't forget the pouches, and weird feet. Liefield has some interesting ideas
One thing that stuck out to me in the beginning was Cyclops’ mention of the Astral Plane to Jean.
If you tie in her first vision you can see what looks to be a ghost like creature in a purple astral plane.
Her second vision included rats something found in pipes and sewers.
Cassandra Nova originated as a ghost like entity in the astral plane. She was a clump of cells flushed down the sewer, that built herself back up again to appear human.
Jean is having visions of the origin of Cassandra Nova
I think that The Phoenix is responsible for the visions, warning Jean and Madelyn of Apocalypse. I love you guys, keep up the great work!
I think the Watcher just proves that this is apart of the MCU just a different timeline other than the 616 one. Think about it the Watcher shows up in What If watching over the other timelines and possibilities other than the MCU that we’ve been watching so I think this is definitely another timeline since we are still in the multiverse saga
Gambit is technically a omega level mutant. In the comics, Mr. Sinister operated on Gambit to reduce his powers so they were more manageable. Gambit felt he had too much power to control. It might be the same for 97 Gambit as well
I feel it’s Cassandra. The rats from the vision could be from the sewer she rebuilt herself in when Charles destroyed her in the womb. That would also show why both Jean and Madelyne had the telepathic attack happen to them.
That summer school line is gold
Cable knows that's his mom. Established in the original that he knows "about" Cyclone & Jean.
Plus he's avoiding eye contact with Madelyn once she feels something different about this interaction.
It's when he looks her in the eyes, then, she sees his BROWN eyes.
Which, on the astral plain earlier, she asked Scott what he remembers about Nathan, and he answered, that even though he cant see color, "his brown eyes".
Thank u… how are these guys The professionals!?😂
“summer school” had me in tears 😂
"Remember it" is gonna stick with me.
As intended
I’m so glad I have my therapy tomorrow because I am genuinely grieving right now! What the FUCK! (Yes, an amazing episode and this series is fucking incredible.) Gambit was always my favorite… I AM NOT OKAY. NOPE. Anger, denial… it’s all up in here… fuck off aaaaaa 😭
I wonder if your therapist also watches X-Men 97. That will be a fascinating conversation
something not a lot of people know about gambit is that his abilities have a blocker on them as a result of sinister doing experiments on him in his marauder days. as a result he’s considered an alpha level mutant, not omega
Cable won't give up until he creates a good future, and that does seem like something that would have him meet Uatu if it would start affecting worlds.
Nah. “Summer School” hit 😂😂😂
In the comics , gambit is omega level, he couldn’t control his powers as a young thief and went to Mr sinister to help him and sinister performed a partial lobotomy in order to give gambit not only control over his powers but to cap his powers at that level. When he becomes a horseman of apocalypse his full abilities unlock. Right now gambit can control kinetic energy , the size of the object he charges doesn’t matter but he doesn’t charge sky scrapers because of collateral damage that’s why he dies in the blast. At an omega level gambit can manipulate all energy
The best episode yet! Thanks for all you do guys and gals!
Favorite moments: town square musicians, Rogue and Magneto dance sequence, Gambit & Rogue battling
I love Jessica, she makes me laugh. "That's not what I meant!" 🤣
Omega level mutants in the comics according to Jonathan Hickman are mutants who powers have no upper limits
I don't think you all realize that Leech was weakening Magento while he was fighting to protect them.
I think leech hid magneto by taking his power
@Bigdogruru1 By taking his powers he made him more vulnerable than anything.
if Cable resets the timeline two episodes from now, but Storm regains her powers just one episode from now, does this mean that Cable’s reset would rob Storm of her powers again?
the telepathy snipe that cable does.. its makes sense its cable but unlike what you suggested, jean is the collateral/unintended target as she just gets the garbled vision while Prior gets probably something much clearer as u hear cable warning her.
i was waiting the whole time for Evans joke at 39:23 because of him STILL being proud of it on the twitch stream later 😂😂😂 i love the BR hosts and producers so much
first time rogue touched gambit without gloves was during the save porf.x arc in the savage land. and the second was when she goes to visit the kid that later on goes by cannonball
Only death I enjoyed was Leech cause I hate him so much in Marvel Snap
This is what I keep saying!
Gambi was an omega level mutant, that reduced his abilities on purpose because he couldn't control them fully.
In the 616 comics, Gambit was born an omega level mutant, but in his desperation as a teen he went to Sinister to control it.
“A few characters break up with life….. “ is wild ! 🤣😂🤣
Great technical discussion. Well done.
1. The "If you don't get Tia..." line was great!
2. The Breakroom opening graphics is great....one observation, it should end with the BR in the same position as the silhouette in the background of the show. Just a recommendation for a show and cast I truly enjoy.
In X-Men The Animated Series in the 90s, Cable went back in time and kidnapped Wolverine and managed to make an antidote to destroy a virus that Apocalypse made. Before destroying the virus, Cable said : “The names Cable, remember it, Apocalypse!” Coincidently, Cable's first appearance in X-Men the animated series was in Genosha when he first met Gambit who escaped from the Slave Island. Cable helped Gambit unlock his collar which allowed him to rescue Storm and Jubliee and the other mutants as well.
I love that Brandon instead of using the obvious sports appropriate MVP OF THE EPISODE…he goes with the student of the week (i get it’s a school) but It went from the best on the field to…the kid that told on us for passing notes!
I'm actually so glad Jessica was on this episode. When I watched the EP of X-Men I was like "yep...I need to hear Jessica's reaction to this!"
Just sad she didn't comment on that face Magneto made against Rogues neck 👄
The was a time in the original series where Madeline Pryor was Jean greys name right before she became the black Queen of the hellfire club. She was being mind controlled by mastermind and I feel like she came our of hospital before that. It was after the phoenix saga and before dark phoenix. Surely that's when the switch happened
They have no idea what a omega level threat is
Jessica, the proper phrase addressing how people and animals instinctively experience fear is "Fight, Flight or Freeze like a deer in the headlights."
The term is Flight, Fight or Freeze, most people forget about Freeze. I don't know why but yeah Freezing is part of that saying. Those are the 3 F's not 2 but 3, human nature in times of chaos most of the time have those 3 primary instincts.
He said my favorite line from the original series from Apocalypse.
"I'm as far beyond mutants as they are behind you." The hardest line from comic shows!
I see most people assuming the godzillla sentinel was referring to magneto as the omega level mutant. But I wonder if it was actually referring to leach? Magneto had already been fighting that sentinel leading up to that moment and it wasn’t said until leach was in the picture.
Let's say you are right. Hence Leach died along with Magneto and the remaining Morlocks. Das Ende.
@@MichaelNgTzeWei yeah I know it doesn’t really matter. Just found it odd that the sentinel said it at that moment. Not too familiar with leach. I guess I was hoping to figure out if someone in the know about him had some insight.
Most mutants have human level durability and don't have combat powers. Mutants trained with combat powers and battle ready are very rare.
Cable said he is coming; however, I wonder if it was the sentinels.
I was thinkin Bastion or Nimrod
Jessica's reaction to poor Evan's "Summer School" joke is just 😘🤌🏽 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🤣
I think I figured out who sent the Godzilla Sentinel. Every Sentinel we've seen so far has been a variation of Master Mold. Master Mold always kept evolving until we ultimately go Nimrod. What did Nimrod ultimately evolve into? Bastion! Who did we "see" in the picture with Forge and Dr. Adler? BASTION! BASTION, THE ULTIMATE SENTINEL BOMBED GENOSHA!!
Yes it’s him as soon as the gala starts he’s upstairs walking away
I agree. This seems so obvious. IDK why barely anyone is picking up on this.
I nearlyyy missed that Watcher cameo, I was like oh shit, it’s about to go down
45:59 I nearly missed it too👀😅
Amazing episodes, the last 5 minutes were incredible.
Im so excited to watch ur reaction to this! Can it be any better than mine.... or every person on the internet today! This is Massive!!!
I've been waiting on this breakdown all day.
I don’t think Cable is shook because he recognizes Madelyne, I think it is the contrary, he looks at her that way because she recognizes him for the first time since he’s being sent back to warn them and failing every time. Maybe in other attempts it never clicks for her or he never gets the chance to come close enough.
