That being said... the coming 3 part finale had me scared and hype at the same time.😭 This is peak X-Men! If I saw this as a kid I'd be in therapy because ain't no way this was gonna be a Saturday morning cartoon. This is PRIME TIME DRAMA!
RIGHT?? And we still have 5 more episodes left in this season. I'm hoping that seeing Cable means we'll have a story where he's going back in time to try again at preventing this event.
As soon as I saw him, I was like “Oh cool, it’s The Watcher!!”. A few seconds later, I said “Wait, he only shows up when something major is going to happen! Oh no!”
Facts. I like that his appearance wasn't made into a big deal considering he's already been around before if you watched the original. Those who know KNOW. Nothing should be a surprise anymore for fans. It's their world and we're just watching it... like The Watcher was... 😭
Leech power is to "cure" the mutations in a mutant body so Erik right there is weaken by Leech being in vecinty, close to him so Erik get beamed by the monstrosity santinel bcz sooner or later his magnetism power get weak bcz of Leech... amazing story telling and so good with all the interactions between characters in the whole series !
@@kptmaci4979 no no, he's got a point, but tbh this delivery is far more heartbreaking, maybe cuz of the context of this relationship is actually real than the in wandavision it's more so a delusion, where it's harder to sympathize
The foreshadowing in this show is crazy!! Remember that weird lullaby Madelyne heard when she scanned Guyrick's mind and saw that giant demon sentinel? Thats the song that was playing during the gala!! This show is so good!!!
We keep getting references to Phoenix and the show opening titles feature Phoenix still. I’ve a feeling we’re gonna see a threat _well beyond_ Omega level sooner rather than later!
@@TonyTylerDraws I agree that what likely happened was Leech 'turned off' Magneto's powers which would make him suddenly undetectable. His power is to do just that, so it makes sense he's the 'xfactor' that could make mutants invisible from Sentinel detection (pun intended)
She said on twitter that she channelled her grief from losing her niece not long before she recorded that scene. And it showed. Absolutely gut wrenching
That’s exactly how the Genosha massacre went down in the comics…they even mixed in the Morlock Massacre from years earlier in there…whoever wrote this is taking me and a lot of others on an emotional roller coaster! And notice as Rogue was holding Remy she was touching him skin to skin?. OMG!
This episode had so many jaw dropping moments I couldn't believe. From Jean and Wolverine kissing,to Cyclops snapping on the reporter,to the reveal of Madeline and Cyclops's psychic Affair,to seeing Nightcrawler and Dazzler,Rogue and Gambit breaking up,Rogue and Magneto's dance and finally that final attack by the sentinels. This 1 episode surpassed the entire Fox Adaptation of the Xmen.
Only Magneto can correctly reference Schindler's List. This was one of the most intense and emotionally impactful episodes in my entire experience of television.
The imagery of 9/11 with the framing of the PULSE massacre. A place where a group of marginalized people feel safe and secure enough to party and celebrate, obliterated by hateful violence. This episode might be the best X-Men media ever made.
I swear, the writers deserve some f**king awards! Especially the deliveries of Magneto's quotes throughout the series! He said things that made you want to side with him because it made sense and he always made such a good point when saying it
X-Men 97 just casually dropped peak fiction and expects me to return to normal life for a week until the next episode? I think I'm gonna be rewatching this episode of the course of the week until episode 6!
Cable said "not again" before he disappeared, so how many times has he tried to warn Genosha or stop those events? I would be so happy if we get a Cable centric Groundhog day episode with Cable trying to change events.
Episode 7 is called "Bright Eyes" and it's almost assuredly going to be about Rogue, but it might be about Cable also. It's a signature phrase of hers, but applies very well to Cable, Gambit, and Scott.
'92 was groundbreaking for its time. '97 has been adapted for society today, and presumably an older fanbase. I won't deride the older version while exalting this iteration. They are both excellent.
X-Men of the 90s was very constricted by being a kids show. They weren't allowed to use projectile weapons IIRC, Wolverine could only use claws on robots, no blood, no sexual stuff, and limited dark topics. They did the best they could under the circumstances imo, there were still mature storylines squeezed in.
Tbh this series has given every X-Men its glory. They have shown what the X-Men are about ...How amazing they are. What a series ...This is why we love the MCU. The way they bring comics to life !
Feel bad for both of them. Scott thought he was having a perfect life with the love of his life, and it was completely ruined. Jean doesn't know who she is right now; wondering which memories are real and which are false. Their relationship is totally f*** up now. You really feel for both of them.
X-Men 97 is SO GOOD! Their ability to adapt epic arcs from comics is out of this world! Let’s bring Carol back again! She’s got such a relevant story as an X-Man! The Binary arc with the team vs The Brood! With her joining. The Starjammers in the end. EPIC! Inferno, LifeDeath, Xtinciton, Fall of Genosha … all were and are very well adapted.. they CAN ABSOLUTELY adapt Kwannon and Betsy’s story arc too! Let’s do this!
Mind BLOWN. I can't believe I'm seeing all the seminal storylines, character development & uncanny Claremontian soap opera & then a Morrison massacre ANIMATED!!!!!!
@@redgyrados2000 exactly! She recovers and we see a smirk! It’s time for Carol to come back and spend some time with the X-Men - she’s got such a beautiful friendship with them!! - and become Binary as they fight The Brood! Then join Cyclops father in the Starjammers!
GAMBIT!!!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! I knew the damn fool was going to do something stupid but.......nooooo.....gave respect to him with his final gambit but my god im going to need a week to recover emotionally
I cried this morning when I watched & now I'm crying again. My mind is blown & I am RAW. F.Y.I. Wolverine didn't start anything. Jean kissed him. It's going to be a looong week.
Mann I loved this episode. The tone was Straight outta the comics. Awesome. 😊 Loved the realism of the tone and how the writers hit the "kill switch " at the end. Marvelous and epic ending 😎 indeed.
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. And the new Cable is voiced by Chris Potter who voiced Gambit in the original Xmen Animated Series.
That scene back in episode 1, where Madelyne Pryor was using cerebro to invade Gyrich's mind, was foreshadowing this episode. Listen for the music and cable's voice. Back in the original series Apocalypse explained that time and thought are a unity and that is why psychics can see into the future just like what Madelyne was accidentally seeing through Gyrich's mind b/c of his bigger plan with Trask.
4:43 so many crazy moments this episode 5:47 just kept ramping up 10:27 just kept getting crazier 14:16 so nuts 15:36 wouldn’t stop 16:00 just so shocking 16:29 exactly 17:11 heartbreaking Great reaction as always.
I think Leech canceled Magneto’s powers at the last second, thus removing the presence of an Omega-level threat. Leech is the comic version of Jimmy from X-Men: The Last Stand
I love how I can tell you guys are actually huge fans!! I loved this episode and from the look in your eyes I see you guys as #MutantAndProud fans. Fucking love it. I'm 39 years old and this show x men 97, is the answer to my old ass nerdprayers lol
Interestingly, the dance with Rogue 'Happy Nation' is a song by the group ACE of Base. Ace? Not many reactors recognized it even though it's a 90s song. Secondly, it got emotionally intense, yes. Disney knows the kids that watched the X-Men are not kids anymore. I teared up watching your reactions. I watched the episode myself and then wanted to see you all reacting to it. It didn't disappoint. Someone also mentioned there's a glimpse of the watchers between fireworks before the chaos. Great episode!!! Marvel.. This is how you're supposed to make movies. 😊
Best episode of the show. Makes the 4th episode better as that sets up a light hearted, good feel for this episode, just to immediately kick you down emotionally and tell you "oh yea, we're not afraid to do it. And you'll love it and we will make everyone cry"
This episode was the best so far. I must say the show is doing a great job taking me back to the nineties too. Rogue and magneto dancing to Ace of Base....you dont get more 90s 😆
This is how you make good television. Just incredible. To make a cartoon has such a heavy feel and emotional aspect is master writing. This and What If are how Marvel needs to work their live action films as well. Just unreal
The visual imagery baked into this ep was a masterclass- The statues at Genosha of Charles and Magneto, clearly someone would have used mutant powers to craft them, and how they came into play in the fight later. First we see the large, noticeable cracks in the foundation of Xavier's statue, a metaphor for the inherent flaws of campaigning for change through strict pacifism. Then in the fight, Xavier's statue isn't just destroyed, we're pointedly shown people being killed when it collapses- it shows us the cost of lives as people are crushed under the weight of his failed dream. -Of all the things of metal Magneto could have used to attack the machine after his flashback, he picked the Train. The idea of a man, a Holocaust survivor, using a Train, the tool weaponized to aide in exterminating his people, as a weapon against a second genocide, was genius. -The hints of afro-futurism in the designs of the city streets in the early portion showing solidarity with similar scenes from the Black Panther movies was a great and subtle element of highlighting a non-euro-centric culture that did a lot of world building without words.
Man, this episode was something else. Talk about a hard 180! We go from soap opera drama to the weirdly damn near sensual dance with Rogue and Magneto to the genocide at Genosha. WHY SO MUCH AT ONCE!!!
I've always considered Wolverine, Nightcrawler and Colossus my favorite X-Men trio. I'm always happy too see the latter two in anything (Wolverine is already in everything).
I watched this episode 3 times already and seen a few reactors. All great!!! I just realized when Wolverine and Jean are talking…he says”Nuff Said” what a great Stan Lee call back.❤

XMEN '97 SEASON 1 EPISODE 5 WILL GO DOWN AS ONE OF THE MOST LEGENDARY CARTOON EPISODES IN TV HISTORY. WE ARE NOT EVEN DONE WITH SEASON 1 WTF.
AGREED!!!
That being said... the coming 3 part finale had me scared and hype at the same time.😭
This is peak X-Men! If I saw this as a kid I'd be in therapy because ain't no way this was gonna be a Saturday morning cartoon. This is PRIME TIME DRAMA!
That’s it. It’s only half way, we still have 5 more episodes. Mind blowing
Indeed!
RIGHT?? And we still have 5 more episodes left in this season. I'm hoping that seeing Cable means we'll have a story where he's going back in time to try again at preventing this event.
I should have known something was going down when you can see the Watcher in the night sky for a moment.
As soon as I saw him, I was like “Oh cool, it’s The Watcher!!”. A few seconds later, I said “Wait, he only shows up when something major is going to happen! Oh no!”
If the watcher is here then they definitely will come into play in the next phase of marvel
An the watcher had a sad face on because he literally can't intervene
That’s not the Watcher ;)
I saw him and knew some kind of crazy is gonna go down. Was not prepared though 😮
Lenore Zann's voice acting.... "I can't feel you.".... She killed that role. You felt that line.
Her niece died a few weeks before she recorded. She mentioned on X how she poured that into this episode
Especially visually how she is actually touching him skin to skin. Oh my Lord. Visuals and dialogue absolutely amazing in these episodes
I got to meet her at FAN EXPO Dallas here recently and she is absolutely amazing!
Magnetos “Do not be afraid” to leech is devastating
Rogue touching Gambit at last and she not feeling him after touching him for the first time ever because he's gone, that's truly how you break hearts
*"The name's Gambit. Remember it."*
😭😭😭😭😭😭
I want a shirt with that on it.
The name's, Gambit, mon ami. Remember it!
You simply can't forget the 'mon ami'
that hurt my f*cking heart...😭
Such a crazy line!! Need that on a shirt!!
When Cable shows up it seems it's not his first time trying to stop that.
Facts. I like that his appearance wasn't made into a big deal considering he's already been around before if you watched the original. Those who know KNOW. Nothing should be a surprise anymore for fans. It's their world and we're just watching it... like The Watcher was... 😭
I think he seen it and probably not the first time he wants to save this event
his first attempt was in the original series. because these serious events will trigger apocalypse's rampage.
@@shinra358 You're right, I remember it.
@@krdoso Think he can reverse or change to add to your point about his attempts.
"Oh, no!- The episode".
Also, "Oh, hey! It's the Watcher". "OH FUCK! IT'S THE WATCHER!"
Everyone who saw that, took about 2 seconds to realice some shit os going down quick. This episode has the same vibe of the Red Wedding
This episode takes the series into a whole new level. I don't know how they top this one.
Well next week is Lifedeath Part 2, so....
By introducing Cassandra Nova.
@@Dracobyte Its certainely leading there but Im not 100% yet on Cassandra.
The writer said on Twitter this is just a warm up what 😭
Could see the next be a Cable episode & follow him trying to stop this🤷♂️
Eric turned to Leech and said "have no fear" (hab keine angst) in his native language and I was in tears
That moment, we all felt that
Leech power is to "cure" the mutations in a mutant body so Erik right there is weaken by Leech being in vecinty, close to him so Erik get beamed by the monstrosity santinel bcz sooner or later his magnetism power get weak bcz of Leech... amazing story telling and so good with all the interactions between characters in the whole series !
@@ratmanblackgrew7846Exactly and because Magneto is a Omega level mutant Leech could only weaken his power not stop it.
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Gambit hit harder but will all go away when cable figures it out.
"I can't feel you...".....it hurt when Wanda said it to Vision, hurt even more hearing it from Rogue.
Nice pull!
Rogue's delivery was a million times better
@@MarioBario potato/tomato
@@MarioBario do you have to put down one to like other one better? Like, seriously, check your priorities. Both are very good
@@kptmaci4979 no no, he's got a point, but tbh this delivery is far more heartbreaking, maybe cuz of the context of this relationship is actually real than the in wandavision it's more so a delusion, where it's harder to sympathize

Good call 👍
Woah
Happy Nation by Ace of Base
Goddamn Hector chose the wrong week to go on vacation haha
Agreed...but I can't bring myself to feel too bad for someone VACATIONING IN FRIGGIN NEW ZEALAND 😅
He has so much explaining to do
Episode 1: Omega level threat detected
Episode 5: Omega level threat eliminated
We keep getting references to Phoenix and the show opening titles feature Phoenix still.
I’ve a feeling we’re gonna see a threat _well beyond_ Omega level sooner rather than later!
If not for Leech, I think Magneto would have had the strength
@@TonyTylerDraws I agree that what likely happened was Leech 'turned off' Magneto's powers which would make him suddenly undetectable. His power is to do just that, so it makes sense he's the 'xfactor' that could make mutants invisible from Sentinel detection (pun intended)
That "hab keine angst" and the "I can't feel you..." both got me.
I just want to shout out Rogue's voice actress. What a performance! And that final line was devastating.
She said on twitter that she channelled her grief from losing her niece not long before she recorded that scene. And it showed. Absolutely gut wrenching
@@meekoSPN Wow
That’s exactly how the Genosha massacre went down in the comics…they even mixed in the Morlock Massacre from years earlier in there…whoever wrote this is taking me and a lot of others on an emotional roller coaster! And notice as Rogue was holding Remy she was touching him skin to skin?. OMG!
She wanted to try and take him into herself instead of just letting him die.
Nah in the comics it was written like a fart in the breeze.
Here ? It's a fucking intense and personal moment for the characters involved...
This episode had so many jaw dropping moments I couldn't believe.
From Jean and Wolverine kissing,to Cyclops snapping on the reporter,to the reveal of Madeline and Cyclops's psychic Affair,to seeing Nightcrawler and Dazzler,Rogue and Gambit breaking up,Rogue and Magneto's dance and finally that final attack by the sentinels.
This 1 episode surpassed the entire Fox Adaptation of the Xmen.
Like fr my jaw was on the floor
Only Magneto can correctly reference Schindler's List.
This was one of the most intense and emotionally impactful episodes in my entire experience of television.
He is a holocaust survivor after all.
omg! I thought of Schindler's List too, and it gave me full body chills.
I caught that line and thought of the movie, too!
The imagery of 9/11 with the framing of the PULSE massacre. A place where a group of marginalized people feel safe and secure enough to party and celebrate, obliterated by hateful violence.
This episode might be the best X-Men media ever made.
Thanks so much for pointing that out
"This episode is crazy!"
Guys, you're only half way through it.
I kept laughing at them saying that and thinking “they have no idea!!!”
This is why I love reaction videos
I swear, the writers deserve some f**king awards! Especially the deliveries of Magneto's quotes throughout the series! He said things that made you want to side with him because it made sense and he always made such a good point when saying it
X-Men 97 just casually dropped peak fiction and expects me to return to normal life for a week until the next episode? I think I'm gonna be rewatching this episode of the course of the week until episode 6!
Top tier creation
“Mid-season Grab me by the balls and make me cry-“ best description of what this episode did.
Cable said "not again" before he disappeared, so how many times has he tried to warn Genosha or stop those events? I would be so happy if we get a Cable centric Groundhog day episode with Cable trying to change events.
Episode 7 is called "Bright Eyes" and it's almost assuredly going to be about Rogue, but it might be about Cable also. It's a signature phrase of hers, but applies very well to Cable, Gambit, and Scott.
Yep! Sounds like he has tried it many times before. Maybe saving some people. But not all. Or something else has stopped him from changing it.
I kinda hope they don't time fix it. Gambit can become Death, Magneto can survive because Leech depowered him enough for the sentinel not to feel him.
Rogue's line at the end when it cuts to black. I got misty-eyed. Amazing storytelling.
I was utter speechless and in disbelief for that ending! I just couldn’t believe what I had just watched
Cyclops really dropped a “You people”
"i can't feel you", "i'm sorry mom". i mean there were so many lines but THOSE. oh. my. goodness!
The musical build up to the attack IS SOOOOO DAMN GOOD!!!
enhanced the hole experience !!
Man the first half of this episode was almost as insane as the second half! The X-men are so goddamn messy 😂 love how this show embraces that
X-Men '97 creator Beau DeMayo says Episode
5 was just "our warm-up"
"Episode 8-10 is my big one:)"
😳
Oh god .. I'm wondering how much bigger
The animation staff adapted the "E for Extinction" comic book arc in an amazing way!
I believe that is the three part finale in early May.
I thought it was gonna be operation zero tolerance at first because I saw Marrow, Bastion, and Cecilia Reyes
Is that what it is? I got Hellfire Gala 2023 vibes. Just shows how much Marvel loves to kick the X-Men around 😂
@@TheFiddleFaddle it was a bit of the Hellfire Gala '23, and a nod to the Mutant Massacre from '86, but mainly E for Extinction
@@baixiaolang Got it. I'll have to give that one a read.
This was like watching the Red Wedding all over again in Game of Thrones.
X-Men '97 is solidified. Incredible. X-Men '92 wasn't doing anything remotely close. This is not a Saturday morning cartoon anymore...
THE BEST.🏆✨️
'92 was groundbreaking for its time. '97 has been adapted for society today, and presumably an older fanbase. I won't deride the older version while exalting this iteration. They are both excellent.
You see, Freeza? You're not dealing with the average animated show anymore.
Can you imagine if this episode came out in 1997?? The AOL chat rooms would have been lit
Well like the other comment said Xmen 92 was still groundbreaking for its time, so it should be judged as a 90s product similar to batman tas.
X-Men of the 90s was very constricted by being a kids show. They weren't allowed to use projectile weapons IIRC, Wolverine could only use claws on robots, no blood, no sexual stuff, and limited dark topics. They did the best they could under the circumstances imo, there were still mature storylines squeezed in.
Gambit and Rogue have always been my favorite X-Men, and I'm loving how much attention they are getting in X-Men 97.
Tbh this series has given every X-Men its glory. They have shown what the X-Men are about ...How amazing they are. What a series ...This is why we love the MCU. The way they bring comics to life !
Not since the end of Infinity War or when Aunt May died in No Way Home have I received such an emotional gut-punch from Marvel.
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but whips that are trains excite me!
X- X- X- X- Men Men Men…
Jean is really mad at Scott for Mentally "cheating" on her with herself 😂😂 after she was just making out with Wolverine 5 minutes ago.
Mind you he’s been doing this for a month. She slipped for sure but we gotta clock his tea too
Feel bad for both of them. Scott thought he was having a perfect life with the love of his life, and it was completely ruined.
Jean doesn't know who she is right now; wondering which memories are real and which are false.
Their relationship is totally f*** up now. You really feel for both of them.
I think Pheonix is returning and thats the real jean grey and Phoenix prefers wolverine while jean scott
He was cheating for a month and he shut Jean out.
@@Ringking-ws7bz Fair think Phoenix ✴️🐦🔥🐦🔥✴️ will help or assist cable 🚠 in some way to help change or reverse it.
X-Men 97 is SO GOOD! Their ability to adapt epic arcs from comics is out of this world! Let’s bring Carol back again! She’s got such a relevant story as an X-Man! The Binary arc with the team vs The Brood! With her joining. The Starjammers in the end. EPIC! Inferno, LifeDeath, Xtinciton, Fall of Genosha … all were and are very well adapted.. they CAN ABSOLUTELY adapt Kwannon and Betsy’s story arc too! Let’s do this!
Mind BLOWN. I can't believe I'm seeing all the seminal storylines, character development & uncanny Claremontian soap opera & then a Morrison massacre ANIMATED!!!!!!
I would love to see Carol appear, since they implied that she might recover at the end of "A Rogue's Tale"
@@redgyrados2000 exactly! She recovers and we see a smirk! It’s time for Carol to come back and spend some time with the X-Men - she’s got such a beautiful friendship with them!! - and become Binary as they fight The Brood! Then join Cyclops father in the Starjammers!
Damn I've never read an xmen comic but I'm excited for the next season
The SCORE in the final scenes was CHILLing.
They turned up the PRESSUre with this episode.
Not me crying again watching you guys watch that last scene 😭 Mon Cheri! 💔
I am not ready!!!
Magneto with the Omega level Pimp Slap 😂
That final scene looked like Superman being in Lois Lane arms right after he died!!!!! Looked iconic.
This is like classic Claremont writing, damn 😭
The writers….👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾! Thankyou for giving these characters the respect they deserve.
Hope Hector is having a blast, but damn I would've loved to see his reaction and take on this episode as well.
It’s from the E is for extinction storyline and I didn’t expect them to go that dark……WELL DONE
Every time I think of Genosha, I think of this storyline. I got back into comics because of that run.
The watcher was there. In The sky during the gala
i saw him 2 and was like wait what! right before everything popped off!
Can you Tell which Second?
@@MarcelSoares777 right before the fireworks after rogue broke poor gambits cajun heart. He was in the left of the screen pretty big
It was the music and dance at the ball for me! Rogue and Magneto was great because the only person on the planet you can touch! Ever!

I haven’t been okay since this ep dropped at 2 am. This one *hurt* to watch. How *dare* they 😭
Disney I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU DO GET THAT WRITER BACK! The writing of this show has been a masterpiece .
Bro the X-Men score in this episode had me tearing up. That dramatic version was incredible.
"this episode is nuts"
Just wait for it
"this is a crazy episode"
Keep going
"this episode is so crazy!"
You're about halfway through
Gambit's been my favorite for 30 years
My mind is BLOWN
And I'm pretty damn sure that's the Tri-Sentinel attacking. Or a variation of it.
It's not. It's the wild Sentinel from New X-Men 114. Completely unrelated to the Tri-Sentinel, despite the additional heads
They really need to make these episodes like an hour long. But what an action packed 30 minutes that was. They are not messing around with this show!
Turns out this was 40 minutes. But I totally agree, wish some eps were longer. But this one. Fudge. So many feels
@@kadosho02 sooo many feels!!!

isnt it interesting though what you can do in 30 min? The last airbender is a GREAT example of the cadence of 30 min making perfect masterpieces.

The animation started in ep1 almost like the original, then they slowly put in more modern renderings. i love it
Wasn't expecting that ending...
I wasn’t either 😭
Nightcrawler saying, "I blame soap operas," in the soapiest of soap opera episodes is just everything.
I think Leech canceled Magneto’s powers at the last second, thus removing the presence of an Omega-level threat. Leech is the comic version of Jimmy from X-Men: The Last Stand
Great theory. Don't know if it'll turn out true, but it's a really interesting idea.
This show has 5 episodes and already has made me love Xmen much more than movies or comics were able to.
I love when an episode is so good Adam has to cuss it out and karate chop it. 😂
It's The Wild Sentinel Master Mold that attacked them.....freaken INTENSE! MIND BLOWING! WTF just happened? moments!

Best episode of the show. Makes the 4th episode better as that sets up a light hearted, good feel for this episode, just to immediately kick you down emotionally and tell you "oh yea, we're not afraid to do it. And you'll love it and we will make everyone cry"
This is such a good adaptation of E is for Extinction! Seeing the Genoshian genocide through the eyes of Magneto, Gambit & Rogue was a great choice.
Ace of Base song “Happy Nation” is significant. Song playing during the gala check the lyrics and song itself.
When that was playing I was like “is this Ace of F’ing Base?!”
I just assumed it was a 90s call back
You guys are the best. The BBQ jokes killed me.
The "I can't feel you" reminds me of WandaVision
That Watcher cameo in the sky before the gala is....interesting
This episode was the best so far. I must say the show is doing a great job taking me back to the nineties too. Rogue and magneto dancing to Ace of Base....you dont get more 90s 😆
I hope through art like this ALL people will make positve action to make the world & communities better! GET INVOLVED
This episode was insane on all fronts! ...and that Ace of Base track playing! Oof * chef's kiss * 🤌
What an episode man Not my boy Gambit 😢 Rogue pulled a Wanda with that last line #JusticeforGambit 🃏♥️♠️♦️♣️
Dark Cyclops arc incoming... and I'm here for it. The man is sick and tired of the bullsh*t. Magneto Jr.😭
This is how you make good television. Just incredible. To make a cartoon has such a heavy feel and emotional aspect is master writing. This and What If are how Marvel needs to work their live action films as well. Just unreal
The visual imagery baked into this ep was a masterclass-
The statues at Genosha of Charles and Magneto, clearly someone would have used mutant powers to craft them, and how they came into play in the fight later. First we see the large, noticeable cracks in the foundation of Xavier's statue, a metaphor for the inherent flaws of campaigning for change through strict pacifism. Then in the fight, Xavier's statue isn't just destroyed, we're pointedly shown people being killed when it collapses- it shows us the cost of lives as people are crushed under the weight of his failed dream.
-Of all the things of metal Magneto could have used to attack the machine after his flashback, he picked the Train. The idea of a man, a Holocaust survivor, using a Train, the tool weaponized to aide in exterminating his people, as a weapon against a second genocide, was genius.
-The hints of afro-futurism in the designs of the city streets in the early portion showing solidarity with similar scenes from the Black Panther movies was a great and subtle element of highlighting a non-euro-centric culture that did a lot of world building without words.
I still can't fathom what the eff happened and it's 10 hours since I saw the episode
Man, this episode was something else. Talk about a hard 180! We go from soap opera drama to the weirdly damn near sensual dance with Rogue and Magneto to the genocide at Genosha.
WHY SO MUCH AT ONCE!!!
Btw the song is "Happy Nation" by Ace of Base
So many layers, feels. This episode was beautiful, powerful, and heart wrenching
I've always considered Wolverine, Nightcrawler and Colossus my favorite X-Men trio. I'm always happy too see the latter two in anything (Wolverine is already in everything).
I think Cyclops becomes the new Magneto after this episode because he’s is finally fed up
This episode was incredible the Xmen 97 team knocked it out of the park again!!
"Hab Keine Agnst" Never forgetting those words. Ever
I watched this episode 3 times already and seen a few reactors. All great!!! I just realized when Wolverine and Jean are talking…he says”Nuff Said” what a great Stan Lee call back.❤
I did not have X-Men '97 going peak Game of Thrones on my 2024 bingo card
The wild sentinels and the massacre of genosha
"Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!" LMAO!!! "This episode is rated, 'Oh, yeah!'" LMAO!!!! THANKS for this!!!! Wowowowow.... :(
Five episodes in and I'm still in awe over how beautiful this show looks. The animation work is stunning as is the voice acting and writing.
