Minority group asks Captain America for help… and all he offers is thoughts and prayers 😂
That’s not true at all, he was ahead of Rogue’s investigation. He however has rules to follow. Meanwhile Rogue just made things worse. Cap is wise, Rogue isn’t.
Nomad
Cap using his super power, his brain.
@@dartheverstar9564 Rogue caused more problems and almost got her team killed. She isn’t helping anything. Thinking before you act is part of being a leader. This is why Cyke/Cap run teams and she doesn’t.
@@AzulApewrong.. lol bastion was inevitably coming If you haven’t been watching or did your hw watching x men 92 just to see pattern’s, trends, history itself.
this show is such a showcase for what happens when a group truly LOVES the IP they work on. it exudes from every scene, every line, every character..
Every shuga, every optic blast, every sexy woman, every costume, all of it dude. I never thought I’d have this back in the earlier phases. I’ve never felt so much hope and wanted to stay on earth so bad lmao mutants and magic are my ish
Rogue was like "Fuck yo shield!!" hahahaha
Disrespected that man and I’m here for it!
Rogue threw that shield like 30 miles. Its in a whole different zip code.
Probably back at Weapon X by now 😂
Found it in 20 min.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Morph " Is this who we are now?"
Me "You sweet summer child."🤷🏾♀️
It's concerning when Morph is the voice of reason.
@@deanospimonifulhahahahahaha that’s how I felt too
Nightcrawler had the eulogy of the year! Super glad he's here. 😭🤧🤧
Lmfaoooo… that audible SIGH we all heard in our heads.. after Cap’s shield was yeeted into a mountain ridge..
Rogue with the drop kick from Marvel vs Capcom
YAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSS you’re a real one
So I wasn't the only person to notice!
I don't like seeing Rogue be sad, but I like watching her kick some butt.
This episode got pretty freaking dark. Rogue dropping Trask, Bastion straight up smothering Gyrich... what's the rating on this show again ?
Also Rogue throwing Cap's shield was just hilarious, 😂
It’s 14+ just saying lmao and the original was 7+
Lmfao.. Jess being like “dafuk?” Being explained the back story of Bastion. 😂
Jean is an Omega level mutant. Both Charles and Erik noted it when they met her. It is the reason she can survive the Phoenix Force.
Why doesn’t morph ever change into a Jean?
@@baseball90242he did second episode
@@baseball90242he did while teasing wolverine in episode 2
@@baseball90242Aside from the fact he did, keep in mind he would only look like her though, not gain Jean's psychic powers. The people whose powers he emulates when he changes are purely physical achievements like winged flight, strength, speed, toughness, bounciness and fighting style emulation.
Jean was omega but Charles put mental block in her diluting her power so she’s classified as Alpha now but with Phoenix Force she’s beyond Omega
Jay's humor is LOST on you people! That Charles Xavier "Aaghhaaagh"?! I was on the FLOOR! Ha!
Jay is hilarious. I would bet you're in the minority here.
Operation Zero Tolerance from a file on Stryker's computer in X2
I think it was in the comics first, but damn that computer had so many Easter eggs 🤣
@@jordanromesburg6819 yeah it was. One of my favorite storylines
🤯
It is funny that beast quoted Mr Rogers in the same episode Mr Rogers cameoed in.
The student of the week is basically who voices the “previously on”
When I see a video with Jessica in it I have to watch
My 1st thought was Aurora but she had no connection? to Gambit. Others thought Questa from the assasins guild. Possibly she and Bella Donna while enemies to Thieves Guild, are still paying their respects
It is Bella Donna.
Mr. Sinister stated that Bastion has a "prize" for him. I'm guessing that Bastion identified the child Hope Summers and he has kidnapped her. Perhaps this is why Cable returned to the present time, to protect her.
Maybe Sinister's "prize" is Cable? It's his creation after all that was stolen from him and now Bastion is being chased by Cable so it makes sense... its like "dude I got your perfect creation on my tail"
@@MrAngeriuseither of these would be satisfying but I think I’m leaning toward Hope who then is rescued by Nathan and Rachel and the rest
@@MrAngeriusnah I see Siniser identifying something as a prize as something he’s never had before, getting cable back doesn’t seem like a reward for him, imo
@@MrAngeriusI'm leaning towards something Cable related more than Hope. Sure they're mix and matching later stories with newer ones here and there, but there's literally no context for Hope at this time. People may need to pump the brakes a little on calling down every hero and villain known to the X-franchise in the first couple seasons. Let's save some stuff for seasons 4 through 10 please, because I want this thing to last and stay good, not cameo everything under the sun.
@@J.O.R.DThis is a good point, but still Hope is too unnecessary at this point. It would be actually more fitting if the time traveling Bastion brought Stryfe to Sinister than bringing Hope. After all, if his game was to make Nathan his perfect lifeform, and Stryfe is always touted as the version of Cable that wasn't ruined by the TO virus, "giving" him to Sinister would be the fulfillment of his original goal (with whatever tweak they need to tie back in the point of dousing him in the techno organic soup vat).
Rogue went Rogue 😮
Shout out to beasts quoting mr rogers neighborhood! 46:29
I love that shaving scene because Reservoir Dogs (1992) is one of my favorite movies. It mimics the scene where the guy gets his ear cut off.
I don’t think y’all’s definition of omega level is correct… An omega level mutant is A mutant whose dominant power is deemed to register - or reach - an undefinable upper limit of that power's specific classification.
So there can me multiple omega level mutants with the same power. It’s no a “no one else can do what I can” type of thing. More of a lots of people can do this but not many can do it to the extent that I can.
IE Jean, Hope, legion and Cable are all Telepath / telekinetics and they are all omega level mutants.
Respects, Remember it
I thought that, at least initially, “Omega-Level” meant that they were able to use their powers on a global scale or greater. Is that wrong?
Also being able to destroy worlds is a criteria they either don’t know or ignore when talking about Omega level mutants
So morph can’t morph into apocalypse? Or any other super powerful mutant who can one shot anyone?
Nimrod is a sentinel with Jazz hands!
And they already acknowledged in the show that magneto and storm is omega level
@BreakRoomNR If Jay does get kidnapped by pirates, I vote that Evan gets to take his spot on the panel.
I concur!
This episode, was CRAZY!!!! Rogue, going ROGUE!!! No PUN INTENDED….
It had its Heartfelt Moments.
Rogue and Nightcrawler…Brother and Sister.
And her interactions with Captain America was Epic.
And, when they showed the results of the Attack from last Episode was Intense.
Because, you didn’t know who Survived or Not.
When, they Buried….Gambit!!! That, (Bright Eyes)reference was referring to Gambit. With his Glowing Eyes.
I’m jumping around Everywhere.
It, was so Much to take in this Episode.
They, three out a reference to (Nimrod)Trask, became the new version of the Sentinels.
And, they showed Bastion….too. He, straight up killed Gyrich. “You’re no longer of any Use!!!)
They, went Extra Dark this Episode.
And, those Interactions between Scott, Jean and Cable…
And, Jean and Scott recognized Cable…was Priceless.
Then Cable, basically said “We, got Business to take care of…First, Dad!!!”
Then, they cut to Sinister and Bastion…Bastion, was probably referring to the other person involved was Apocalypse.
Because, of the many Versions of Sentinels that were in those glass cases.
And, they showed Professor X when he was on Shi’ar home world.
And, left Us with la Cliffhanger….Magneto is Alive and Bastion has some type of Special plans for him.
I, think they’re going to Manipulate Magneto… someway, somehow Professor X is going to Return and he’s going to have to confront Magneto. I’m just spitballing…Here.
I, think in the Last episode that Apocalypse, is going to show up. And we’re finally going to see an Appearance of Mystique, too.
They, laid out too many References to Her…especially with Rogue and Nightcrawler.
These past few episodes.
It’s going to be a Major Battle….the last few episodes.
It’s probably going to be a Two-parter.
A lot of Unexpected twists in this Episode. It keeps getting Better and BETTER!!!
12 days ago I posted on ur video stating they main villain was Bastian! I didn’t get a single comment or up vote but I did say to mark my words cuz I’m know I’m right!! VINDICATED- this episode proved I was right!!! (Okay u can go back to ignoring me now…lol)
@@dartheverstar9564 I purposely made a point to leave a reply with my guess so I can have that as proof! I totally believe u and I have to compliment you cuz ur very observant and on it- but now everyone is gonna say they always knew whereas I can point it my actual reply saying it!
Show is soo good!! Beau DeMayo says the next 3 episodes are his favorite and the most intense so buckle up ur seats everyone!!!!
😂😂😂😂 I love this for you! 😂😂👏🏾👏🏾
That’s awesome! Probably no one replied to u cuz they never heard of Bastian till this episode…lol
Rogue toss the shield like "Fuq outta here!!!!"
Bastion did mention how Sinister has been trying to stop the mutants since 92 so he has definitely been in the backgrounds.
Bastion wants to destroy mutants and humans.
When Captain America said "my team" he was refering to Avengers. Coz in the Dark Phoenix saga in the OG X-men TAS 92, they did show a glimpse of Nick Fury, Thor feeling the Phoenix leaving the Earth. Also in the same episode they showed Spider-man saving people (just his hand shooting webs but still ). And since Ross said that the bunker was built to protect them from Hulk its apparent that Hulk is in this universe and for a long time. Coy also said in his reaction to the episode 7 that he saw a Stark Tower in Madrapore in this 7th episode. All in all I think its the OG Avengers aka Cap, Iron man, Thor, Black widow, Hulk maybe Hawkeye.
Wolverine didn't give Professor his insulin and the Xmen died cause Logan was hungover
Xavier on the liquid xanex
@@RandySnortin anyone remember the Astonishing X-Men run? Casandra giving Emma her secondary diamond mutation because she's the one to bring the sentinel to Genosha. All so she'd be found and brought in the Xavier School
Really don't like that Jean Grey still gets exhausted or faints when she uses hers powers ... You'd think she'd get some power upgrade after the Phoenix Force
That’s Gambits former love interest from the flashback episode about his life before xmen. That’s definitely not Aurora from Alpha Flight.
I think they’re misunderstanding what an “Omega level” mutant is. It’s not necessarily the strongest of their ability. It’s that they don’t really have a definite endless limit to their ability and untapped potential.
You are going back-and-forth trying to explain Bastion is really funny. The best way to him is that He’s basically a sentinel with ChatGPT. 😂👌
Nimrod mean mighty hunter. Bugs Bunny calls Elmer Fud a little Nimrod, he was hunting Bugs. That leads to people thinking a nimrod is stupid or inept.
32:37 tbf he was having dreams about someone in a bug suit 🤣 Brandon goes in sign the exit strategy already planned, could of been anyone in a bug suit 😭
Have to make my first YT comment just to wonder how stoked everyone else was to turn this on to see Brandon in the lineup as a bonus. These are by far my fav people on YT, best lineup ever Coachella can suck it. PS thank you about the Rogue question I used to be able to recognize by the booty
Space Bird Kitty is a great name for a band.
That female at the funeral is his former love interest in the flash back episode of the original series that tells Gambit’s life in the thieves guild .
She does look a lot like Rogue so Gambit clearly has a type
36:27 I legit thought he was saying a price tag too 😂
That emma frost joke went right over everybody heads
He’s going to turn magnito into a sentinel
I have a impression that apocalypse is around and that he’s gonna make Gambit the horseman of death (giving him a revival) that’s why Charles seen him as a skeleton in his vision
I cried three separate times. Never did I think an animated show about the X-Men would do such a thing for 34 year old me.
"Thank you, my sister for putting me back on track ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿"😂😂😂 32:57
41:05 remember this isn’t an exact match to the normal time line because in the MCU Iron Man doesn’t debut until 2008, so in the animated series, at that point in the Xmen timeline the avengers characters did exist so maybe they’ve assembled a small team since then
Deadpool, Black Panther, Thor Dr. Strange, The Watcher, I think even Galactus all appeared in the same episode. Part 5 of the Phoenix Saga. Pretty sure it was part five.
I swear if I hear you all refer to omega level being the best at whatever power they have ima scream lol
there was a lot in this episode that I loved, but I think one of my favorite special moments was the whole story of jubilee and Roberto coming out to his mom as a Mutant. That story resonated and it feels like it’s just beginning and will have a WONDERFUL ending
47:18 this is what Scotty likes 😭😭
Lookin good Jess…just wanted to throw that out there and please do R2! Lol
Paused to look up the Xavier screaming
NEW GRAPHIC!!!
Happy Avengers Endgame Day, by the way. 5 years ago today!
Rogue is already infected by Bastion just FYI
I wanna be Jay & Jess’s alternate dimension baby
Jean is an omega of telepath but not an omega level telekinetic
This trio only to discuss every show and movie I humbly ask (now that Tomda’s out East)
After xmen97 where do you think we can see these characters again
What if
Captain America is with his Avengers team, around '97, we had the usual avengers team, the first ones like Captain America, Wasp from the top of my head and we definitely had Ant-Man as well, again from the top of my head and I believe Captain Marvel was yet to join them or was joined, and of course I am not 100% certain but I think Iron Man was there but he was still young early 20s or something among those lines before getting all that massive ego.
47:30, its not the same and Cable makes that very clear in the series. "You are not her, get out of my head."
48:50 Marvel News says she will be in her new costume and with new intro card.
I wonder if we get a magneto/joseph moment.
A solid episode. Not the best, but not the worst. In fact I'd say it is pretty average for the show. I'd say each episode is ranked as follows:
E1: 4/5
E2: 4/5
E3: 3.5/5
E4: 1.5/5
E5: 4.5/5
E6: 3.5/5
E7: 3.5/5
Rogue was bad ass and loved that.
Cyclops being the first to rise after the team get blown up is an annoying thing they did in the original as well. Why was he up first? This show seems to be doing nothing with Wolverine... even letting him have a healing factor. :(
I look forward to the final three. I wonder how they will play out.. I sort of wish they would just drop all three at once.
what if Bastion is trying to make Magneto a Prime-Sentinal, and sending him killing mutants while the world watches.
If I remember correctly, Bastion save the mutant at one point, so that he can be the one to destroy them.
It’s the Smurfette thing yall! Madalyn was created AND manipulated by Sinister prior to being planted to get in, get that DNA and then pull cyclops away!
My brain is going crazy trying to speculate on how this ties into Moira, Omega, Nimrod, Mother Askani, HOX/POX and Deadpool lmao. Cassandra Nova wild card has me in a vice grip. Need Cable to send me some hyper ADD/ADHD meds from the futes 🤡
Speaking about Phoenix, did anyone notice that the Phoenix kind of got their own title care this episode in the opening? It’s a quick one, but it mimics the other title cards.
*brainwashed friend who murdered his coworkers parents*
Capt: “he’s my friend”
*literal genocide*
Also Capt: “my hands are tied”
I agree with Jessica's point about, if they say something constantly, they should show it eventually, but Jay said what I'd been thinking whenever people mention the Phoenix, Rachel, Cassandra, Apocalypse, Onslaught, etc. we don't need to have the Phoenix (and every character showing up right now).
We had an Adversary, Goblin Queen and Mojo side quest; the seeds of Deathbird problems; Master Mold, Gyrich, Sinister, etc. we can leave a few things for season 2, 3 and hopefully beyond (AND some things will just be mentioned right now because this functions as a continuation of something that had 5 seasons worth of goodies to call back to).
This whole season, I have not cared about the phoenix, but seeing the phoenix in the opening credits does make you expect it to be a part of the show.
wheres mystique? 👀👀👀
i had to wonder if cap was mystique checking in on rogue. since it was a family episode i felt like was missing and with scott throw away comment about val .
No, chére, not dead.
Death
3 days for you that don't know it's 72houŕs
Hahah finally someone tells Jay to stop being weird. Thank you Jess
But she can say “D” emasculating things smh 🤦🏾♂️ equal opportunity
I think at some point at the end of season 1 the xmen team we know will be fractured with some of them in magneto's brotherhood and xavier leading the xmen. At this point, Rogue is definitely joining and I can see cyclops jumping ship.
Also, if you think humans reaction to xavier being alive is to mistrust mutants more, double that when magneto shows back up. That could be why bastion is shaving him, as in getting him camera ready being magneto has been the face of mutants in the media.
7:05 if she was just a bedazzle gem🤣
Remember the first episode when they were saying people were paying for mutants was that Bastion?
that shaving scene gave me chills
In the OG series Apacalypse made the virus. And Wolverine made the antivirus. I'm curious to see if Sinister uses Cable to give Mutants a fighting chance. And Cable is trying to correct his timeline from Bastian back to Apacalypse. Remember the reason why En Sabah Nur had Sinister create Stryfe.
Even though Cap becomes Nomad later, in this moment he’s acting for the US government and she was right to call him out for his cop behaviour. I get that he can’t just show up in uniform, but it’s also true that If he really wanted to, he could’ve gone on a covert mission with her w/o the uniform 🤷🏾♂️
The episode recap was hilarious.💀😭
Forget Agatha! It was Bastion all along 😂
3:18 - my guess is that she is 'Black Cat'
found a small mistake. Jean felt a telepathic call, but Emma's telepathic powers don't work in her diamond form.
she's also almost resistance to telepathy in that form (Jean was the only one who managed to bypass that resistance)
15:06 Michael Jackson you are not alone...
Aaarrrggghhh
Captain America be like ...."Rogue, you can go to war with the US Government but you don't chug by shield like that, this means WAR!"
Omega level is a category given when there is no known upper limit to a mutants power! Most Mutants and Supes in general have a hard limit to what they can do. When your power is potentially limitless then you are considered Omega level, but like Goku in DB you have to train and endure to really reach into thise upper epsilons of power! In the comics there are only about 15-20 Omega level Mutants. In this show, the only 4 shown have been Charles, Magneto, Jean Gray and Storm. Morph may be considered one, but has not been officially named as one. Iceman is also Omega level.
P.S. sorry one more Omega was shown.....Vulcan, Scott baby bro from the Shi'ar Imperial Guard.
The best power absorber in the Comics is Synch. He only has to be in your vicinity, and he is also a known Omega level Mutants. His Secondary mutation is to recall and use any power from anyone he's ever synced up with at any time! He can even sync with non Mutants like Spiderman and Hulk.
Brainwaves broadcast like TV and Radio. Powerful psychics often are caught unaware by strong emotions when people are stressed. People's thoughts are like loud screams to them. What Xavier felt was the psychic collective of stress, fear, and hurt of all of those who died on Genosha at once being broadcast throughout the cosmos. That is why Gambit was the big one. Xavier has a personal connection to him.
Rodger Craig smith and Steve Blum are my animated cap and wolverine
I think that The Phoenix found Madelyn and is going to be back for the finale. It would explain why they keep teasing The Phoenix in the intros and how Xavier received psychic images of Genosha and Gambit’s death
Storm is Omega level as the sentinels called her in episode 1
She got nurfed like gambit
Love this combo!!!
Jay was on fire giving the recap 🔥
37:44 ❤❤😮🎉 if Bastian’s ultimate goal is to save humanity from the mutants maybe what he is doing is trying to create like a truly omega level threat mutant, although we have some already but to the point that the humans have no choice, but to say they gotta go and then here comes Bastian to clean up. Remember, Bastian is not just an emotionless robot. He’s a psychotic robot.
I really love this trio!!! Yall funny ah lol 😂
If this is the setup for Onslaught to appear, that would be awesome. Imagine season 2 being set in AoA
