*Mutant Community after M World (Scarlet's Witch fantasy)*: "Damn...ok well that sucked...at least the worst part's over now." *Matthew Malloy*: ...yeah...about that.
I find it hilarious how Jean Grey is one of the most powerful characters in the marvel universe in terms of comics, but in the X-Men animated series, she would pass out after reading a single person's mind.
Yeah, in the comics she was super weak too due to lack of control. The Phoenix Saga allowed her to gain higher levels of power in the comics. Not so much in the 90's cartoon.
@@harley8047 they had to reduce her power because she had two of the most powerful abilities of all: telepathy AND telekinesis. who needs cyclops and storm and rogue when you have a very powerful telekinetic? she's currently very powerful in the comics (even without the phoenix force), and i honestly find her annoying. she's just one-shotting a lot of people.🙄 i liked her when she had omega-level telepathy and normal telekinesis, but she now seems to have near omega-level telekinesis as well.
@@thispersonrighthere9024 you realize, Jean Grey can't multitask? You never see her use telekinesis and telepathy at the same time! She has to focus more mental energy into 1 or the other.
I don't really like this story or Grant Morrison that much, but Xmen 97 has been handling these stories in a very short and tasteful manner so i'll bite into it.
Man I remember picking this one up when I was 11 as one of my first ever experiences with comics. I had no idea what I was getting into. The art style made it a-lot more grotesque, it worked well for this story but not many others.
Rob, I'm one of the few who loved the "Here comes tomorrow" storyline. Since it touches on Sublime, Cassandra Nova, and what's left of the Mutants race, I think it'll be a great addition to throwback Thursday.
That image at 10:10 with Daredevil and the red X on top, it almost feels like a funny coincidence for Cyclops' future look. Thanks for another great vid Rob.
Another job well done, Rob. I love how detailed your backgrounds are on your stories. There's a lot of comic book guys out there, but you are certainly one of the very few that give full backgrounds on the environments of the stories. Such as what's going on in the development of the comic book, but also the supporting storylines that help better understand the contexts of these runs. Kudos, dude. :-) And though I'm not a fan of the art work here with Grant Morrison, I do really like his writing.
27:27 I remember I was sat on the couch reading this a while back when I got to this panel. My sister walks past, looks at this panel and whispers to herself 'Ew. Bald chick.'
Hey Rob, anthropology major here. Just wanted to let you know what Morrison actually took the more scientifically accepted depiction of prehistory. As humans pushed out of Africa, competition pressure actually did push the neanderthals to extinction. Yes, there was a small amount of admixture between the two, but it was minimal as it only accounts for 2-4%, at best, of an individual. That means only a very small subset of neanderthals had the chance to mate with humans. Also, neanderthal DNA is not present in many groups of humans. You're doing great, but I figure you'd appreciate clarification when possible.
*X-Files music, typing furiously* "He said 'Alan Scott'...he's a pastor...published multi-step processes of violent-free transformation...references Bibles verses about abstaining from harming others...PEACE!!!"
Chris Claremont: "let me build this huge world of mutants and intricate stories about their society." Grant Morrison "Bro, bro, you meant to only have a couple hero's, don't worry I got this"
90s Marvel was basically ONLY X-Men. Jim Lee came onto the Scene in a HUGE way and his art COMPLETELY changed how we saw the X-Men. Everything else; Avengers, Defenders and Spiderman were all being written and drawn very poorly. It's no wonder that they almost went under. Now MCU Dominates the general public.
A good review of the story. On the subject of "secondary mutation" you didn't mention that beast also has gone through the process as well. Aside from his cat-like appearance, he also has highly developed senses, a healing factor and can generate pheromones.
One thing which was creepy at the time ( which may be lost on many due to the way marvel listed this Issues release month ) was that this issue came out around 911. Later in the issue,Breast and some men as seen in panels eerily similar to the destruction televised on that terrible day. Pure coincidence, but a shock at the time.
I think it's very satisfying to see Charles Xavier confess that he's a mutant. It just seems right for him not to lie for the sake of hiding from prejudice.
thank you for getting me into comics! its coincidental that you put a kyle rayner video out after i buy the godhead story from green lanterns and the new gods. Anyway thanks for the awesome content!!!
Oh man that was awesome! I gotta know more, I'd love to have you cover this run. I have the sudden urge to learn more about this Cassandra Nova, but I'm worried you'll do more videos and I don't want to spoil anything.
Good story, fucked up art ! Wolverine without his classical costume and feral look , beast looks like a bear and cyclops looks like he was punched in the mouth...
Huge fan rob, as always great explanation I am finally really able to connect to comic books like i was never able too, you are an answer to a problem that has plagued me for years. Keep up the good work .
Has anybody every thought that, if Marvel wants to bring mutants back, all they have to do is evoke Chaos and Order and have them realize that the "No more mutants" chaos magic spell disturbed the balance and that, while history can't keep the event from happening, the fact that chaos magic was used could mean that the meaning of the spell could be altered to restore order through chaos. Thus the new meaning would become "No, more mutants." Of course, by them Disney will have a deal with Fox over the X-Men movies...
"A bit" too dark storyline for me, and if I remember right I soon after the appearance of Cassandra Nova I quit reading the X-Men (I remember Cyclops being possessed by Apocalypse being some of the last stories I really read). 70's, 80's and early 90's joyful Chris Claremont times for me, thanks. And I'm not also fond how 16 million mutants were OK to wipe out in story purposes, but Wolverine etc. can't be killed off no matter what. (In The Days of The Future Past he was killed by a Sentinel, but what I've heard he can now regenerate from a single drop of blood. Okay, the excitement and drama is that old Logan is OP as f*ck?)
Homo sapiens and Neanderthals did interbreed to an extent, but it was far from an even merger. Something like 2-4% of human DNA is Neanderthal, the rest is Sapiens. And even then, that’s for Eurasia, where Neanderthals originally evolved, people from other parts of the world have even less Nea DNA. Though it is sometimes swapped out with other near ancestors - Native Australians for instance posses up to 6% Denisovan DNA instead of Neanderthal. African people are actually the most genetically “pure” humans, possessing
When I see Wolverine and Cyclops working together, I get all emotional, lol. It's just meant to be. Quick pitch, Cyclops finds a way to get Logan out of the adimantium and bring him back to life. They become friends and reform the X-Men.
I'm a little confused about who's the cause of the massacre in 97. Because Cable specifically said he, not she (Cassandra). So, is the show taking a different take on the arc or what?

Depends on what their powers are. Able to read backwards or forwards man probably won't help much against a tank. A girl who can hear the sound of any garage door opener within 10 miles probably won't do much either. That person born with 10 thumbs though, absolutely going to solo a sentinel... 16 million civilians really isn't a threat to 40 foot tall tanks that can fly and incorporate parts from nearby vehicles to repair damage. The things are walking war crimes...

um...x-men 97??????
Chris Claremont, Grant Morrison, and Joss Whedon runs are my favorite X-men runs ever.
They defined modern X-Men
I don't really like this story or Grant Morrison that much, but Xmen 97 has been handling these stories in a very short and tasteful manner so i'll bite into it.
Feel the same but the story is what brought me back to the comics in the early 2000s
Who’s here after X-Men 97 episode 5?
Guilty! 😂
yes
The x men 97 episode has me here🎉they cooking
Amazing show 🔥
Man I remember picking this one up when I was 11 as one of my first ever experiences with comics. I had no idea what I was getting into. The art style made it a-lot more grotesque, it worked well for this story but not many others.
You know the art is bad when "Ugly John" looks good.
Rob, I'm one of the few who loved the "Here comes tomorrow" storyline. Since it touches on Sublime, Cassandra Nova, and what's left of the Mutants race, I think it'll be a great addition to throwback Thursday.
Anyone else here due to X-men 97 episode 5?
That's me
Yep
Me
What if it is her, and Charles comes back and kills her like that at the end of the season 😳
Had to time slide real quick

i was just about to say that
We're gonna build a wall around Genosha.
Deport all the mutants.
MartianManFromMars
Kept on thinking he was going to Genosia.
And make Charles pay for it.
I really loved Grant Morrison's version of the X-Men but never got to finish this series. Thanks for this, Rob!
One of my favorite X-Men comic book runs (Grant Morrison helped me appreciate the X-Men more)
Professor X cant " just walk out "
His legs dont work
Awesome, this is one of my favorite X-Stories.This run was where I really started to pay attention to Cyclops
WOW this is happen now on Xmen 97
Oh my god, i remember this run SO well but due to the madness (and artwork) I was half convinced i'd dreamed it up! XD
this art alone could kill 16 million mutants.....
Cyclops is making a duck face
Logan Smith if you think this is bad you should look at what Kia Asamiya did next for uncanny xmen.
No doubt this awful art was one of the reasons i stopped my subscriptions. BLEEEH
Early-mid 2000s Marvel was so ugly. Planet Hulk is so fucking saturated.
Matt Higgins i thought youre saturated
Love the run, hate the art
RNDS 24 I like the art, its unique
RNDS 24 i love Quietlys art, it gives the ilusion that the characters are actually moving for me
The art work always reminded me of the Captain Stern story from the Heavy Metal animated movie.
At first everybody kinda looked like sylvester stallone, but it grew on me. I'd say it's great art; just different.
hobomanchild just different, ;) would u say its all new all different XD, sorry this was a terrible joke :(
Grant Morrison is by far my favorite comic book writer, and for some reason I feel like Sam Keith would have been the perfect artist for this.
Inhumans suck, bring back the mutants. They were highest sellers every.
Edward Parreno as soon as fox sells the movie rights back to marvel...
+Tom Greenfield If they do 😒 they know they wont have much after they do.
Reading well written comics with Frank Quitely art is like eating a fine meal while someone is farting on your neck.
Mmm, the best of times.
I actually like Frank Quitely's art style. It's... Unique.
Thumbs down. Thumbs down. THUMBS DOWN.

The Quitely issue of Multiversity is his art at its best!!!
collin corbean the characters look like dog shit or some kind of parody shit. it's atrocious.
Cause the faces look like ass, I could draw better than this shit
Good thing this was uploaded when I was early to school so I can watch it.

what was Magnetos reaction to all those deaths? plz continue this "storyline"!
