I think my favorite detail of this episode is when Bishop walks in on Forge and calls him "Daniel." To my knowledge, we have never gotten Forge's real name cannonized in anything but there was some note back around his debut that had his name listed as Daniel Lone Eagle. So, after literally forty years, we know Forge's name (and I find this extra funny because I'd been thinking about how we still don't know Forge's name literally two hours before watching this episode lmao) Also, Hank's "oh dear" upon realizing where/when they are was unnecessarily funny
@@NoTengoStandthey gave us a crazy homage to it though. In another universe this could have been Cyber Akuma. I’m banking on it tbh bc there is too much MVC happening here to not inevitably cross over.
@@monolith_g Imagine whenever they do the Onslaught saga we find up Bastion didn't die, instead got teleported to Capcom universe and fused with Akuma, adding a Cyber Akuma to the mix for maximum VS series insanity. In all seriousness, the series is doing so good that I doubt they go beyond these little nods to the games.
I’ve grown to think of you as a friend. I’ve sat and watched countless hours of you talking to me about some of my favorite topics and characters. You guys are amazing and you are amazing. For whatever you are going thru, know that people appreciate you and these videos are a comfort and safe place for many. So, thank you to YOU too.
I've seen a tweet by DeMayo suggesting that the Avengers are off-world dealing with Operation Galactic Storm, but I can't find any saying that Wanda and Pietro are with them
@@ScionStorm1 I haven't seen anything about that. But it would actually make sense, and be awesome to see them in season 2 in the middle of the Galactic Storm war. That comics series wasn't the best, but hey I own the X-Men arcade and the Avengers: Operation Galactic Storm fighting game is in it so I think it's cool lollll
It’s a quintessential Beast catchphrase. Maybe there was a link way back when it first became a thing, but it’s been a phrase of his since the original run.
I definitely think Gambit will be Death and Wolverine will be War. Wolverine was Death when Apocalypse reinstated his Adamantium but there is a What If...? where he is War.
ik this is old but seeing rogues thunder clap then we can only image hulks thunderclap in this series since we already know what he looks like and his strength
Ye this sounds like the most logical explanation too because they just got married before this happened and I don't think they wanna give every important moment they had to Madelyne.
Thank you so much for giving Pete Seeger his due! He was an Xavier in his own right, speaking around the worldfor peace and working together. his whole life.
I think that in Bishop’s timeline, Storm, Wolverine, and Morph might have been trapped, similar to the 1992 X-Men Animated series episode "Days of Future Past." In that episode, a variant of Wolverine’s adamantium skeleton is displayed in Forge's Lab. I believe that the old variant Forge in Bishop’s timeline would bond the metal to our salvaging Wolverine, which is how I think Wolverine would get his adamantium back!
I believe they time traveled because Bastion absorbs Cable's mechanical arm which has the time travel device in it. If you look at the first time Cable saw his mother and slipped back into time you can see the same "bubbles " on Asteriod M as it dissapears into time. Bastion blew up with Asteriod M and it activated it.
@@DeVille757 I'm not saying we will going to see him in season 2,he was teleported before other X men are teleported, and X men are literally teleported a place where a another person can do that same thing better than anyone else in Marvel universe,aslo know as KANG
@pinaka5461 that's was up..a big comic nerd at heart.. love all of it and all the theories. Just waiting for season 2. This brought me back to my childhood!!
I'd say the bar is likely in areas of West Berlin which were still damaged. As plausible as East Berlin is, those tanks that drive past are clearly late-war M4 Shermans (looks like the M4A4 based on the barrel length and hull.
The ending gave me flashbacks nostalgia to Xmen evolution,and the story of apocalypse,and his feud with Rama tut aka kang the conqueror im calling it now kang / immortus scattered the Xmen in time.
The effect that took Asteroid M away at the end of this episode looks similar to how Immortus teleports away at the end of Beyond Good and Evil part 4, after he's revealed as being Bender all along, with the purple clouds and sparkles.
11:23 Back in season 1 in slave island episode (I don't remember correctly if that was the name of the episode) Aurora and his twin brother were among the mutant slaves in Genosha. Gambit played a key role in setting those slaves free. Maybe that's why Aurora joined his funeral from gratitude. Ironically it was Genosha again.
Thank you for your videos they are great! You were the only one that had mentioned Storm, Wolverine, and Morph and what had happened to them. Thank you again. Looking forward to the next one!
Agree would make sense as this universe isn't like the main mcu so the events of how T'chaka died in main mcu haven't happened in this one. In the ultimate avengers animated film T'chaka was killed by a Chitauri super soldier.
8:20 Well in the comics his hands are never completely back to normal or fixed as you put it. He always needs to use magic to steady his hands when doing surgery.
thank you for the shoutout at the end to all the lovely people involved in the making of these videos. round of applause for the post production team 👏 ❤
Remember that Apocalypse had Wolverine as a horseman prior to the reveal that he'd regained his adamantium bonding. It wouldn't surprise me if that is somehow worked in to a continuation.
In original X-men, it was wolverine who said, morph was the only person who could make him laugh, and that he wasn’t going to abandon him again. So we know, wolverine and morph have always had a close bond, so morph having a crush on wolverine isnt that surprising. Since wolverine went through season 2 to save morph, I wouldn’t be surprised if in season of of 97, morph is the one who bring wolverine back to his senses.
You do make a great point. However, I do think that we will see different versions of The Horsemen of Apocalypse, which will definitely be Gambit as Death, maybe Castillo as maybe Famine and maybe a few others that fell on Genshoa.
Potential future heartbreaking moment in the future. *Death Gambit to Rogue after trying to snap him out of his control* "The names Death, Chere, remember it."
Little fun detail. I was wondering why Cable wasn't a part of the team in the opening credits, because Nightcrawler got added immediately and Bishop, who was only in 3 episodes, also got his title sequence. But this episode explained it, he was upset because in the X-Men stories people tell in the future he is absent, even though he was a vital part of it, just like in the opening.
Flashpoint shows cameos. Fan reactions: Cancel! It was so random! Why was Superman there?! X-Men shows cameos. Fan reactions: Amazing! Renew! Yay, Daredevil! P.S. Great research on that song! The charity thing is cool.
The song detail gave me so much hope. Even if Disney is investing in nefarious groups, the messages within x men will always be used to allow for positive change in real life.
Thank you for your coverage, Erik! I always look forward to your recaps, and I was so happy to get to nerd out at home with you during this great show. I can't wait for season 2!
21:58 every word you said about the fight with 2nd Coming Bastion after NightCrawler BAMFs him into the room with reat of the team on Astroid M is EXACTLY how i felt when i watched it!! I even paused it right after he caught NC by the neck, rewound, and frame by framed a few times to try to see if he caught him with his hand _THRU_ his neck instead of just by it! I thought we lost him for a sec!
Were you waiting for this all day?
Yesssss
since yesterday!
bestätigend (yes but in german)
more like 38 hours, but yes, I was 🤣
What do you think?😅
this cliffhanger truely felt like a 90s cartoon
FR
Beast literally being on a cliff was classic.
Little nitpick. Wouldn't the MJ that Peters with be the clone because this is set in 1997
Nope the clone died in the original series.@@allanorme2093
@@allanorme2093 yes.
Gambit as death is gonna be the most badass animated character ever
Yeah
his death was lame and stupid, although he knew Sentinel was so OP, he tried to be cool and got neutralized.
@@MinhVNZlame and stupid? Lol
@@MinhVNZ no one else on that island was capable of taking it down.
Bruh that shit was wild from what I seen...
Morph trolling sinister was hilarious 😂.
Good way to get back at him for what he did to them.
Sinister could have looked at his reflection. He asked for it. And Morph went for it.
He basically gave him Physical Poetic Justice.
Rogue: "His name was Gambit, Remember It!"
💨
Hell yeah
If everyone is always crying then it diminishes the effect.
That gave Me Chills. "The Name's Gambit, Mon Ami... Remember It."
Cloak and Dagger showing up really had my jaw on the floor, they’re as obscure as the Guardians of the Galaxy were before the MCU movies
Yea seeing Cloak and Dagger was a welcomed surprise
It made me want to watch the one season on Hulu.
@@AlSweensame
@@AlSween same, I'm going back
They definitely aren’t
The “Magneto Lives” line legitimately gave me chills, such a good episode 🤩
Magento?
@@Sefaso Magneto's brother
YEAH
@Follow God:God loves you repent it will be worth it God bless you all💕💜♥️
"MAGNETO LIVES" was his first words when he returned to Avalon after Fabian Cortez almost killed him in season 5!

Also, Hank's "oh dear" upon realizing where/when they are was unnecessarily funny
He also said that to prove to Forge that he knows him, because he never goes by his real name. Very cool detail.
Beast’s line was so fitting and so well timed. They have freaking killed it with lines and timing this season - both in the fun and the painful ones.
I was waiting for this all day
I 2nd that!!!
AND I 3RD THAT
Had to watch someone else’s video last night….so I guess I’ve been waiting all day and night
@@willperez4635same loll
Same they take forever but it be worth it

BEHOLD !!! MEGA-OPTIC BLAST!!!
lol i yelled it out loud. My wife laughed at me.
Someone in the writer/animation team played the Vs games and it shows 😂
@@Adriangabs Too bad they didn't get the rights for an Akuma/Gouki cameo, as he was a guest character in Children of the Atom.

Gambit was always my favorite, so the Rogue fight was incredibly satisfying.

Pietro & Wanda are implied by DeMayo to be Avengers on an off-world mission.
They're caught up in Operation:Galactic Storm with the Avengers. Dealing with the Kree/Shi' ar War that we saw in episode 6.
@@ScionStorm1 love it
Hence why there weren't more Avengers around... 🤔
I've seen a tweet by DeMayo suggesting that the Avengers are off-world dealing with Operation Galactic Storm, but I can't find any saying that Wanda and Pietro are with them

Roberto: "The name's Sunspot. Definitely got more flair"
VAI BRASIL!!!!
Moar _flare_ !!!!
The disowned heir definitely got more flair
15:44 the way Sinister just whines is so hilarious
His whine and frolicking away reminded me of Roger from American Dad.😂
This whole season was EXACTLY what the MCU needed. I can't wait for the next season!!
11:23 that's not Cecelia Reyes it's Cipher aka Alisa Tager who also appeared in episode 5.
The cameos are absolutely amazing.
Beast's "Oh, dear!" at the end was totally a nod to Quantum Leap.
I don't think so, otherwise he would have said "Oh boy"
Oh Dear is just a very Beast thing to say.
That's Beast's catchphrase. He says that often, dating back to the original series.
@@Curt_Will_yup.
"Oh Dear!" and "Oh my stars and garters!"
It’s a quintessential Beast catchphrase. Maybe there was a link way back when it first became a thing, but it’s been a phrase of his since the original run.
I was so focused on the episode I didn't notice the Wanda and Pietro cameo on the boat.
I didn't until my second watch. Had to make sure it was safe to watch it with my kiddos. Polaris is there too.
I was so focussed on the episode that I didn't notice.... details in the episode 🤷♀️
@@wyvern723I was gonna say wasn’t that Polaris too
This episode was amazing!!
So sad it's over, but happy to have witnessed! REMEMBER IT!
Horseman lineup:
Death - Gambit
War - Wolverine
Famine - Storm
Pestilence - Morph
I definitely think Gambit will be Death and Wolverine will be War. Wolverine was Death when Apocalypse reinstated his Adamantium but there is a What If...? where he is War.
18:44 I love when characters w/ superstrength do a thunder clap lol (i.e. Hulk, Supergirl, Rogue, etc).
Shehulk ?
ik this is old but seeing rogues thunder clap then we can only image hulks thunderclap in this series since we already know what he looks like and his strength
7:40 I *love* seeing Daredevil use his billy clubs lol
Cyclops started playing MVC2 against Bastion
If XMen97 doesn't get an award(s).......there should be a riot because this series was so damn good 💯💯💯💯
The Jean-Madelyne swap happened in the season 4 episodes Beyond Good and Evil. Give them a rewatch and you’ll see exactly why I say that.
I'll check it out!
Ye this sounds like the most logical explanation too because they just got married before this happened and I don't think they wanna give every important moment they had to Madelyne.
the season flew byyy 🥺🥺 its been fun 🥲
Young Magneto looks like a well animated Rick Sanchez lol
Madelyn: he's coming!!
Logan: Who? Apocalypse??
I cannot wait for season 2. Best thing Marvel have released in YEARS!
Lol no it isn't it was utter trash
@@dannyjones3689 not trying to start anything... but... out of curiosity... what was better in your opinion?
15:42 The perfect ending for Sinister. I don't blame Morph one bit.
Morph such a lovable goofball and I love them for it 15:56
Thank you so much for giving Pete Seeger his due! He was an Xavier in his own right, speaking around the worldfor peace and working together. his whole life.
Bravo to the writers! Didn’t imagine it’d be this good
Lol it was bad... They couldn't even do a proper storyline right
@@dannyjones3689as if u could do it better
Morph: “Looks the same to me!?”
Mr. Sinister: 😫aahh ohh, oh-ooooh 😩😞..
Me: bahh!-ahahhaaha!
Been waiting for this patiently, quite sad that it’s over but very happy it was started to begin with
Got chills and shed a tear when magneto says who charles is and says magneto lives frl
16:06 In the game Marvel Contest of Champions, Cable's heavy attack has him turn his arm into tentacles just like this.
I think that in Bishop’s timeline, Storm, Wolverine, and Morph might have been trapped, similar to the 1992 X-Men Animated series episode "Days of Future Past."

No he was also teleported
I don't believe he made it. I don't think he will be in season two. Just guestimating!!!.. lol

There was so much in this episode. Truly a great season finale. So stoked for next season.
The Cyclops Blast
Me -HELL YEA!!!
18:48 A "Thunderclap" will only work if there is air. I honestly didn't realize this was the Blue Area of the Moon until Rogue did this! 😆
Behold! Optic Blast!! That's all I thought about when I seen the Cyclops visor removal. Epic!
I'd say the bar is likely in areas of West Berlin which were still damaged. As plausible as East Berlin is, those tanks that drive past are clearly late-war M4 Shermans (looks like the M4A4 based on the barrel length and hull.
25:10 Good catch on the tears in Scott's eyes. Now I'm the one tearing up.😭

The Fanstic Four went back in time to meet Rum Tut.
That's not Cecilia Reyes, it's the mutant Cipher.
Rachel Summers!!!! Jean FTMFW! The build up to Apocalypse and Mother Askani is beyond epic. I can't wait for the next season.

Thank you for your videos they are great! You were the only one that had mentioned Storm, Wolverine, and Morph and what had happened to them. Thank you again. Looking forward to the next one!
I literally cried every episode of this series
Bastion's Operation Zero Tolerance reminds me so much of the eighth episode of what if where Ultron decimated The planet and universe
If it’s supposed to be 1997, King T’Chaka would make sense.
Based on what?
Agree would make sense as this universe isn't like the main mcu so the events of how T'chaka died in main mcu haven't happened in this one. In the ultimate avengers animated film T'chaka was killed by a Chitauri super soldier.
8:20 Well in the comics his hands are never completely back to normal or fixed as you put it. He always needs to use magic to steady his hands when doing surgery.

10/10 series
I am so happy to see this. They gave us back our X-Men. Complete with the iconic theme song. 😊
Graydon Creed was also a villain in the original 90s cartoon, last seen with his father Sabretooth.
