@screencrush Ororo got shot in the back, right? So why is the front of her uniform damaged?
📀🎬🎥🍿🎞️📽️🎦📼
This is BS...The ymade the Madelyne Prior STory Arc last not even a episode...
its WAY too rushed...
Until here, E2 was amazing but E1 and 3 were mediocre at best!
"3 INDEPENDENT ORGANIZATIONS" 😂 ok, pal... Extreme-Center organizations? The true Bias-Free people? The center of political spectrum, free of all judgment and bias? --- dude, not even you believe in this crap.
"When you were a kid and they cut to Xavier and Magneto in the Savage Lands you tuned out" Maybe YOU tuned out but I LOVED those scenes. I was obsessed with Magneto as a kid and I just wanted to hear him talk constantly
I just loved Charles Xavier as a kid, I was 10, and the Savage Land episodes were awesome! Seeing him with Magneto without powers yet still powerful made them so badass :)
@@askani21 I watched as an adult, and I loved those scenes. How they talk, how their friendship is stronger than their disagreement, how they solve problems without their powers, everything was impressive.
Cyclops: I CAN’T ABANDON MY CHILD!!!
::a few moments later:::
Cyclops: I’m out✌🏽
Scott leaving his family is kinda his MO, sadly.. he's a flawed hero, which makes him more relatable
😂 😂 😂 no lies
Is this not what dad's do? 😂
He took himself out of the equation cause he knew it was the right decision for Nate's sake. In the Comic it was Scott who sent him to the future with Askani.
I mean it's not like he had a choice, the baby was literally infected and possibly dying rapidly if we believe Mr. Sinister words and further more the science of Beast confirming that so it broke his heart to know that he's walking the path of his father for even a second just to give his son a shot at life as far as the show is showing us again not the comics history
That “don’t make me let u down” might be the greatest line ever spoken
Word, he basically told them I won't be held responsible for what I do after that lmao
i say the same in regards to the MCU lol
Perfect Magneto. Manipulative, threatening, yet we can't stop rooting for him somehow lol
If memory serves, this cartoon always moved quickly through stories.
I agree. I think the pacing is good. Each episode is a smaller story which is part of a bigger story.
There were several multipart story arcs. This show does a good job taking advantage of the additional run time. It’s crazy how short the original series shows were after the previously on and intro.
I mean the Inferno could have used a 2 parter, but for it being condensed into 1 episode I think they did it well.
@ShadowProject01 I can't remember if the Bishop story was a a 2-parter. The time travel twice story, I mean. But I remember that story worked at a brisk pace.
@@ShadowProject01 I agree. It could've been 2 episodes. I only guess that they have more planned that needs time.
The show isn't perfect but nothing is! If this is the best we're going to get in fine with it. Leagues above some of the recent marvel films and they're doing the best they can with the characters in the given time
Usher's Confessions is perfect lol
Sinister being in charge of the marauders during the mutant massacre wasn’t a retcon. He was always the source behind that event.
That was a Great Story line in the comics. Totally Brutal!!
Wasn't it the literal first mention of Mr Sinister??
@@BrokenhornKTYup..... it was literally what started the event comic franchise over at Marvel...... Yes Secret Wars happened but Mutant Massacre was huge deal with stakes
It’s not mandatory to watch.
And the mutant massacre was the first major crossover of not only the X titles, but Thor, power pack, and a few more, I forget which. I was a young and fairly new fan to the franchise, but it predates x-rinction agenda by several years
Regarding episode 3, it does pay off Mister Simister's' main motivation of wanting Scott and Jean to have a child so that he could attempt to control it. I get why the writers made that creative liberty and chose not to make it Apocalypse. But as for Madalyne Pryor's turn from antagonist to protagonist being confined to a single episode, I understand getting it out of the way as the original story was a big convoluted. I guess if Scott had been cold to Madalyne the second Jean showed up at the door and realized that he had been fooled, then Madalyne turning into the Goblin Queen would make more sense as she would feel that the man she loved had betrayed her.
Its pretty well known that Sinister is a telepath and can take control of people with his DNA inside. Sins of Sinister covers this as well
Cal Dodd's voice Wolverine voice is exactly the same when he does it in real life. It has nothing to do with him getting older. Listen to his interviews. He said he had to reaudition for the role and they asked him to be more deeper and gravely; wanted him to be more like Charles Bronson. He said that's not how Wolverines voice is suppose to be. I suspect Marvel Animation edited his voice in post to make him sound how it does now.
still sounds way diff and that's age to me some ppl voice changes especially in 30 yrs later
I just saw an interview with a few of the voice actors.
That’s exactly what I got from that
My biggest gripe with the show so far is the fact that every time I look at long-haired Magneto all I can see is Granny Goodness for some reason.
That is because Magneto looks like Granny Goodness. The long white hair and facial features, especially the cheeks and jawline seal the deal.
Stop it 😅 too funny
You should see that other guy that said he dresses like Cardi B; I’m still dying
The Best X-Men scene was from X-Men 97, season 1, episode 1. Give em the forecast!
And then Storm walks out like an actual goddess. That scene gave me chills
What a moment!
I love this channel but is this video necessary? Can’t we enjoy a single Marvel product without dissecting it and saying it’s not perfect? It’s the highest rated show Marvel’s ever produced. Let the show play out before we deem it imperfect.
Bro it’s his job. You don’t have to watch lol
I kinda agree, it’s not often we get something good like this. It deserves to be appreciated
Yeah, there's a small window to squeeze as much juice as possible for every series or movie. They need to get as many views and subscribers as possible.
I was thinking the same thing. Why put out a video about X-Men only to sorta bash it saying Batman is better? Like ok? Really confused about this conversion TBH.
@@rhetoric3701imagine coming to a nerd channel and telling them to stop being nerds
In terms of media criticisms, this is pretty light
Ok lets not put so much pressure on a series to be perfect every episode and 100% perfect overall… that’s not realistic.
IT’S A GREAT SERIES TO BRING BACK AND WE ARE ONLY LUCKY FOR THEM TO BRING IT BACK AND REFRESH IT. IT’S EXCELLENT X-MEN CONTENT ( BETTER WRITING AND ANIMATION THAN OTHER ONES)
Magneto taking those judges and x-cutioner is super bad ass. Loved it.
Are his long women's sleeves also super bad ass? So majestic haha
Magneto dresses like Cardi B
“I could crush you like the bugs that you are. But…I’m trying to be a better person.”
Loved this scene so much.
It is from a comic issue when he was on trial the first time is i remember @dangerfly
We need to get more people to appreciate this comment. I’m done!
X-men 97 is as perfect as possible. They can't do every storyline exactly, but they have given so much love and attention to Claremont's greatest works. Yes, I would have loved to have seen a full-on multi-episode of the Inferno storyline, but they still manage to take care of all the major points in one episode. Hell to this day X-Men the animated series has given us the best adaption of the Phoenix/Dark Phoenix Saga. I'm excited to see where X-Men 97 goes from here. Claremeont's original run of the X-men is still the standard bearer for all X-men storylines to follow but long-term storytelling in general.
I think it handled Days of Future Past a little better also.
I think it’s good that they don’t necessarily have to fill in all the holes that true comic fans can already picked up on than having to put them in the series. An example of this is Magneto and rogue. In the mansion when Pryor was messing with gambit they showed the same image that’s in the comics in the savage land of magneto and rogue. It’s showing that it happened even though we never got it on the original 97 series. It’s like always needing to do origin stories for new fans .
Its really good with strong character development that gets the viewer interested in the character. Hopefully a byproduct is we get larger roles for Gambit or Mr. Sinister in the MCU .
One flaw that keeps the show from being perfect?
The way they drew magnetos lips
Irrelevant
His lips are wrong, but his opera women's gloves are totally fine?
@@dangerflyWeirdly enough, those gloves are comic accurate
@@blaxpoitation8528 The worst stuff comes from comics so of course.
@@dangerflythe best stuff also comes from the comics
I disagree heavily with the point that this show is not entry level. I’ve never seen a single episode of the old show and initially I was a bit afraid that I’ll be missing out on context. But this show does a great job of alluding and catching up the audience. I love the animation style and the mature tone and tbh I don’t think I can ever watch the old show after seeing this
Lost me at "where's his holocaust tattoo " because it's obviously still covered by his long sleeve gloves
It’s better than The Marvels and Antman Quantumania. Love Inferno and most of Claremont’s stories the during his first run! Agree they rush the Maddie/Inferno story and hear your points. Sucks given a limited amount of episodes otherwise they easily could have adapted that storyline into a whole season. Still enjoyed for what we got! Hope the do justice with the X-Men in the MCU especially with Scott and Storm. Wish they do Gargoyles continuation since this series is doing so well
It's better, but Marvel's wasn't great but it was ok and AntMan was also, imo.
It's also better than pretty much everything post Endgame except maybe Spider-man No Way Home.
Heck, this show is better than most thing pre Endgame too.
@@BaithNa Guardians 3 was one of my favorite Marvel movies to date. I would argue it was way better than No Way Home, but regardless, your point lands. This show is way better than almost anything Marvel has put up since Endgame.
Really needed to be said, the whole magneto scene encapsulates everything a new viewer should know about x men/mutants. If the rest of the show flops it'll still have this nugget of perfection, great writing for a kids cartoon, just wished it was a bit longer with a flashback of Magneto realizing no matter the time people always need an escape goat.
I feel the opposite, they perfectly resumed the overcomplicated story of the goblin queen from the comics in one coherent TV chapter. They keep the weird origin story of Cable (being the son of Scott and a clone of Jean) but without all the overcomplicated last minute retcons.
When beast said sinisters name, I thought there was gonna be a title card like invincible lol
lol
I didn’t mind Madelyn being a clone. I thought the way they did it was interesting and if you ask me, it felt like these people also have a love for the Spider-Man clone saga and felt they needed to bring some shred of that story to life.
I don’t mind Madelyn being brought in. For me, it really just heightens Scott vs Mr Sinister. I could see Scott having real problems getting close to Jean again. Is she another clone made by Sinister to procreate with Scott? This could really mess him up. But it’s that Scott doesn’t stand by Madelyn. He doesn’t seem to think she could be one of Mr. Sinister’s tools or at least doesn’t mention it. It seems more that he can’t be with a clone. Which, why does it matter? You love this person. You had a child with this person. Them not being the original doesn’t invalidate that love.
If I found out tomorrow that my wife is a clone and the real person has been in another country only to meet me and be disgusted by me, that would be saddening to see the face I’ve fallen in love with say those harsh things. But another version of that person loves me and that’s all one should need. It would make so much more sense for Madelyn to not want to share him with the OG Jean and make Scott choose. How can he? They are both the person he fell in love with. Madelyn will take his indecision as decision and then turn into the Goblin Queen. That’s a much better message.
@ 18:00 Ryan clearly never read THE ADVENTURES OF CYCLOPS AND PHOENIX, where they travel into the 40th century where Cable is sent to raise him.
You clearly needed this opportunity to dunk on my husband Ryan, I'll forward this to Magneto to schedule your tribunal
Yeah that piss me off also they cut that part out.
@@seewhativesceneMagneto doesn't involve himself in human affairs, so I'm safe 😊.
Which one is ryan again honest question?
Ryan you are fuckin trippin.
I love that they are using the comics as more of a guide than a bible.
Much of the lore is so convoluted it wouldn't work for the show or this generation, inferno was a HUGE storyline and too dark for the cartoon and markets, but it did feel a bit rushed and sandwiched into 2 other storylines.. but I was never a fan of that event
My God stop not picking and just enjoy, you gonna miss as a lot in life cause you always looking for something negative, can we just simply enjoy
26:55 the story is at its core a metaphor discussing civil rights and humanity's relationship to oppression. this guy does NOT get it
Not every episode of a show must be great if it is then we would still fight which one is better than the other. Please stop this, we need to wait and see first may be they are trying to send off this one with another episode or setting this so they can continue this with the next season. We all aren’t perfect so don’t expect everything to be perfect. Just enjoy the show for now…. To me,My X-men!
Comparing Batman TAS and X-men TAS shows the classic argument: DC or Marvel? And the answer is shown through these series. DC is character driven. Marvel is story driven. Their series flush this out pretty well.
Batman TAS shows characters in situations that flush out them out but, you don’t need all the episodes to get it. X-men TAS have stories that go over the entire series so you need all episodes.
Just such a glaring example that doesn’t come up
When magneto said “I could smite you and at one time I would have smite you all” I felt that. That was literally the most powerful statement to me. They nailed this show I hope they don’t mess it up.
I agree the 3rd episode was not as strong. I mean they set a high bar with the first 2 episodes. However, I thought for what it was it was a decent adaption. My biggest critique was that it probably should've been at least 10min longer because it is rushed and it's crammed with so much its a little disorienting. But for how difficult this story was to navigate without making it completely campy, they did a fine job. The art and animation for the episode were absolutely superb as well.
Sir, do you like the show or not? This is ridiculous
Riiiiight?!!! 😂😂😂😂
Nah for real thoo
Is it just me or is this show so far actually better than the original?
It's the same show, just a new season.
Its definitely more mature its actually closer to wolverine and the X-Men just again muture themes to 10.
Batman: TAS was amazing, but X-Men had incredible animation for the first 4 seasons. They were each their own fantastic IP's in the 1990's. They formed a big part of my teenage years.
7:04 "so to me, that's the perfect X-Men scene" said twice
Also you can't compare Batman & X-Men Animated Series because Batman had a budget. X-Men was always struggling. But they are both the whole reason that many of us are comic lovers today. Neither one of them pulled punches and talked down to kids. Both of them had enough faith and respect for kids to understand the mature themes.
Madelyn was meant to be a happy ending for Scott. Nice choice of words 😂
Sinister and Apocalypse look cool, but don’t do anything? Age of Apocalypse? Even in TAS Apocalypse created a deadly virus. He’s not a horror villain, he has motives. Beyond Good and Evil he wanted to wipe out existence and remake it in his own image. Was it done visually and story wise captivating? Not really. Did he do damage? Yes. Cable being named after Sinister and Charles, all three having Essex DNA is amazing.
I’m one of your biggest fan but you will always find something negative in any marvel show like just relax and enjoy the series until it’s over I understand you have to make content but come on Ryan
I'm not a fan of his and that's exactly why 😂😂😂 I can't deal with his takes in things.
LITERALLY. He ALWAYS has some bullshit to say
@@moondevellnot a fan? Idk if I believe that. Ryan is pretty dope too. Stop hatin. 😆
it's unfortunate that so many channels at some point do clickbait for more views, they all know people love the hate videos even if it's minor nitpicks, a lot of people love that "gotcha! that popular stuff you like is not perfect, here are the reasons! see it really is a bad show/movie/videogame!"
When magneto says “never again” I got chillssss love everything about this show. I love the nostalgia of discovering and solving a problem all in the same show. No complaints here lol
I do think the storylines are a bit too fast. Like which villain am I supposed to look out for? What is this developing into? It just seems to be a progression and I'm not used to that, yet it reminds me of old school tv. Still enjoy it
Guys screen crush and the crew clearly love the show very much, the TH-cam algorithms need them clickbait titles, just let them make their bread so they can keep analyzing this shit for us!! 💯
I also feel the story was rushed... Presumably to get to a bigger point.
Side note... DAYS OF FUTURE PAST. There is no "The". It's been bugging me over several videos. I hope you see this.
Indeed when Magneto said “Do not make me let you down” loved that part
When Magento takes the judges to space, more so than Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot, he is putting into action Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell's quotes on viewing the Earth from the moon, 1) "You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, 'Look at that, you son of a bitch'" ... 2) "You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the moon, international politics looks so petty."
I watched the first 3 episodes through headphones since my kid was sleeping the next room. The audio is really phenomenal. I plan on watching the whole series with as big a screen as I can find and headphones. Such truly great audio.
Enjoy the show. It’s best we’ve had for a while. Just sit back and enjoy it. Stop looking for issues.
This is one of the best video’s y’all have put out. LOVED all the directions the conversation went (and a l l of you brought the comedy 😂).
He’s not wrong about the Wolverine voice. The fact that the voice is actor is older is a factor but I think the other larger factor was the lead creative director wanting Wolverine to sound more like what the original direction was for his voice was to sound more like Charles Bronson. Personally I don’t like that direction and I wish they just asked the voice actor to not do anything differently than his did in the original series.
A sidenote from the X-Men related piece, I love how the sponsored ad fit so perfectly into the TH-cam video, this is ad placement done right and I’m more intrigued to the ad
I also loved Storm's dialogue after losing her powers. But did anyone else think it was weird that Magneto didn't even come over and check on her? For all he knew she could have been dying, but he just let her struggle on the ground while he kept talking.
The series is indeed the best Marvel show thus far.. It has enough balance, not tipping over on any side too much. Great animation, great soundtrack, well adapted from the comic storylines. X-Men 97’ crushes The Marvels, Quantumania, Echo, Mrs. Marvel, Secret Invasion, Falcon and Winter Soldier, Love and Thunder, Wanda Vision, Dr. Strange MM and more.. Bravo Marvel 👏🏼👏🏼 This is how it’s done, (Flaws and miner details aside) this is the best we have gotten in a long while. I’m excited for more episodes.
We don’t give enough flowers to Larry Huston…he was a storyboard artist for Batman as well as xmen…his resume is so vast I would say he’s the “Jim Lee” of cartoons….thats simply to say he is the “connection between the two”
Some may Hate the Brood Story Line, But they are the Most Valued of all X-men comics because the Artist Died, I Loved the Brood story line it was showing the Readers the fact of facing Death. Maybe that is why some don't like it and Please give Wolvies voice actor a Break... he's in his 80's at least, and hasn't dont the voice in Years, it will take a few times to get back in the Grove, show some Respect.
“That wouldn’t be an Easter egg, that would be a Passover egg”
First time im commenting, three years of watching ScreenCrush, please have Mike Lawrence (or any other willing comedians) on, even hearing Ryan get bleeped with an F bomb makes me feel like you liked it!
35:30 Well, 'member berries plainly is mainly why. Although there is also the awkwardness between Scott and Jean 1.0 as a tangible consequence. And while I enjoyed it with a big grin on my face for what it is, having Jean 2.0 almost immediately get over being second choice for Scott and then send baby Nathan into the future with few scenes of bonding did feel just a tad too rushed even for this series's historically rapid rollercoaster pace.
They didn’t build up the Genosha massacre. They had everything done in one episode. In mid season.
The only issue that I have I with cable is that wolverine cured the the technovirus already so why couldn't they just expose nate to some of wolverine antibodies instead of sending him to the future
Dude said "That wouldn't be an Easter Egg, that would be a Passover Egg" 😂🥁...they missed that
One of my favorite commentary episode reviews - the three of you have good chemistry. You guys will have to plan another in the future. Thank you for the content
I like Ryan and know someone a lot like him. The man needs some backbone though.
He'll say something like " I love blank about this!"
Any guest: "I hate it"
Ryan: "Yea you're right."
You realize it's ok to stick to your guns and like what you like right?
Even Eric Voss has enough passion to stand up to people who disagree with him.
“Protestors stormed the cap….i mean the UN” too hilarious🤣🤣🤣
Will we ever see a live action, buff, long and grey haired Michael Fassbender Magneto?
Maybe they are giving the cliff notes to everything so when the season is over the audience is caught up for the live action. So when we see Jean and Madilyn played by the same actress we all get it.
That title couldn't be more clickbait. It's perfect except this one secret they don't want you to know so click here now to find out more.
xavier knew it was the only way to get magneto to do good was to leave everything to him he has to much respect for charles to not continue his vision charles finally got magneto to join him
Holy crap dude, it’s wallpaper in 2024, dinosaurs thru your whole house
DAYS 👏 OF👏 FUTURE👏 PAST 👏 no "the"
It’s kinda bittersweet a 90’s children’s animated show is as relevant as ever…😢😢😢
Valid points Ryan, I can see why adapting the Jean clone can be a pet peeve in terms of holding a tight 10 episode run, it definitely would have been easier to keep things simple. However I’m actually impressed they chose to adapt the clone story, it adds not only an homage to the comics but also dips it’s toe into the horror genre casting a wider net to increase the fan base. I was surprised they went there (particularly when jubilee split open the monsters head). Personally not my cup of tea but man was it a bold play. I also think it adds some richness in layering cables origin. Having him be the spawn of one of mr. Sinisters creations is an excellent way to add to his lore and to deeper engrain the villain to showcase to the audience just how far he’s willing to go to fulfill his agenda. Calling back to his origin episode in Xmen 92, Sinister showed zero remorse in his work and does not believe he is in the wrong in any way. All makes for a tasty layered story as opposed to going the simpler route of having some guy that kidnap Scott and jeans baby. Lastly I also think it’s a clever bone to throw fan theorists to spark a debate of when the clone switch happened in the original series. Thanks for posting this vid tho, loving the content and merch line. I’m ultimately just happy that Xmen is getting shown some love again, would have been happy either way 🤙
Hearing western comic fans try to quantify the MIND BLOWING anime inspired animation in this show with things like "the mask fogged up!" is hilarious lol
The writing has been spectacular, there is no message baked in, it’s just good characters, great writing.
That statement makes no sense...X-Men is full of message....but that's not a bad thing
@@adeyinkabenjamin9537 if you don’t know what I’m talking about you haven’t been paying attention to marvel or Star Wars lately.
Pointing out how some of the voice actors voices changed after 30 years and they don't sound the exact same is so idiotic some people are just morons
Love this episode guys! The one flaw in this show is that they include Angel in the lineup of the original X-MEN (seen in the picture at the mansion) whereas in the 90s show he wasn't part of the X-MEN and they met him in the 1ST Apocalypse episode. Also, in today's disdain for so called wokeness people are revising the past and saying that the writers of X-MEN never used Charles and Magneto as metaphors for Martin and Malcolm when I grew up learning that this was so. This metaphor made these characters even more compelling!
It's just that the racists nowadays don't want their beloved fictional heroes to be compared to Black nonfiction heroes especially those who fought against injustice and racism.
Not a related comment, but Godzilla X Kong was EPIC !!!!!. Anyways, X-Men will always bring nostalgia. Hope they make another season after this one
i think they're making 3 seasons.
How we gonna say things like this when the show isn't even fully out yet 🤣
because now they get a shit ton of clickbait views and comments so now they make bank from engagement and ad views. It's wild to me that people are defending this kind of video, to me maybe it's time to stop giving this channel any further views
It's really meta and awesome that in this review of X-Men, ScreenCrush is doing their own work to destroy harmful negative stereotypes in our society (by Ryan proving Comic nerds can be super ridiculously good looking. Like sheesh. man is pretty).
I am absolutely loving this show, and that scene with magneto giving his speech, and showing the magnitude of his power… had tears rolling down my eyes.
It's so great seeing cel animation still alive
Colton is my favorite guest. His point are always concise and well thought out.
Sinister planned all of this, including sending Nathan to the future. The real jean escapes as soon as Nathan is born and Bishop's time travel band is repaired, convenient. Sinister was probably using Madelyn as like a bug/spy device and devise when he could make his moves. Releasing the real Jean to create drama and distraction. He told Madelyn he owns and controls every cell in her body so she might think the future idea was hers but it was really Sinister's. Sinister is also immortal so what is it to send a "project" a few decades into the future and collect it later when no Original X-men are present to interfere. He also said " they have no idea of the future I have planned for them" before they got Nathan back. The writers were wise to use Magik in the form of morph in this episode as it was a darker/ hell themed episode. Some Easter eggs with Magik was being kidnapped to Limbo in the comics, abused by demons and Belasco. The Dark Chylde Storyline is a parallel of innocence lost to Nathan being abducted by Sinister and being genetically violated. Getting infected with the virus causing the physical change to his appearance with the circuits on his skin and Illyanna morphing into her demon form because of the Bloodstones implanted in her. Also them both being time displaced and growing up with no family.
Yes for justice on Cyclops! This cartoon is X-Men. The Fox X-Men films are not X-Men...
I agree with the glasses, X-Men works because it's not just civil rights or gay rights it's humanity in all of it's glory and tragedy. They go to space one week and the next week we're underground with the morlocks talking about classes and then hopping to the future trying to save that. It doesn't slow down and wait for change, it's actively working on changing it's world past, present and future.
1. The Animated series does have a pacing problem because they’re cramming whole storylines into less than 30min.
2. Guy on the right (Mike?)….lets replace him next time. He was not enjoyable.
Batman was good, but i think what helped it was the fact that the stories were one offs. They could almost be watched in any order. X-Men has to go in order. Which wasn't done for kids shows back then. X-Men was the superior series...
Just a correction on Tattoos & Holocaust victims; Not every Holocaust victim was given a tattoo. It was only certain people in certain concentration camps that received the tattoo. My Grandfather was in Dachau & he did not have any tattoos from the camp🤓
The Passover joke going unnoticed at 10:35 ☠️
THANK YOU...for ending that "inside the TV" gag, it was getting old.
So happy to see a comedian on the panel, please bring him back and more comics. It becomes so much more fun immediately. Great EP
3 episodes of a show come out, Ryan Arey: "This show is bad, and that sucks because I wanted it to be good."
7 months later, Ryan Arey: "This show was actually good, and I'm sorry for saying it was bad. Here is why it was actually a sleeper hit, and why you shouldn't listen to me before a show is completely done and over with."
People on the internet can’t take any criticism of a thing they like. Even if the criticism is coming from people who enjoy it. Just doing what nerds have been doing forever.
I think they really wanted to maintain Cable’s original parents, especially for future stories. I think this was the better telling of this story, as a clone makes more sense if you wanted them to swap places. It just feels more natural and organic to Sinister’s plans, even though Scott and Jean probably would have had a baby on their own and Sinister could have stolen that child, but that’s a whole other conversation.
I'm 59 now, and have been reading marvel in general since the days of fantastic, even the pink outfit x-men, and love the characters beast, pre-blue fur, and how he develops, and iceman. wolverine is quite cool too.
People complaining about a breakdown channel breaking down and critiquing marvel entertainment. It's what they do duh
Love the white bearded guy. "And you will" LOL
When I was in grade school in the 1970's, I can remember there being a television show called "The big Blue Marble". Maybe '97 was inspired by that show.
Thank you for this. Wonderful breakdown enjoyed it so much and it helps me go on to Dune 2 love you keep up the good work. ❤
