I’m glad morph is the clown of the group. Partly because it lets Nightcrawler explore his spirituality, but also because Morph is psychologically very damaged, so it makes perfect sense that he would be the funny one.
They still did a good job of keeping Kurt jolly while still thoughtful and spiritual. Just wish they worked in the horny bastard angle. Maybe if a love interest for him shows up or something.
With Don Francks gone, I wonder if we'll get someone to voice Sabretooth. I love that they got away from over exposing Wolverine, but I need Sabretooth to show up to stir up drama in his life.
Logan putting his hand on Morph's shoulder when Morph was having PTSD over Sinister is a welcome sight. It's not often we see Logan being a softy or touchy-feely but you can tell he really does care, especially for Morph cause I don't really see Logan doing it for most of the other X-Men. I could see him doing it for Jean, Jubilee, and Storm cause he's been vulnerable to Storm and Jean and he's like a guardian to Jubes. Morph is the one he's easily the most protective of in the old show.
Morph risked his life to protect wolverine so you can understand why Logan would be protective of Morph, sure Logan might not have actually been at risk of dying but Morph still risked his life to protect him and it's the act that matters not whether or not Morph needed to to do it, also yes Gambit has also risked his life to save Wolverine but those two are always fighting with each other where Logan and Morph have always gotten along well with each other so you take the fact Morph risked his life to save Logan and that Morph is the only one who can make Logan laugh and that they get along so well you can understand why Wolverine cares about Morph more than anyone else on the team. Also based off the moment in the shower and how they act with each other i wouldn't be shocked if they were more then friends, i'm not saying their in a relationship but they may have done more then fighting when Morph turned into Sabbertooth
@@Ashadar_Resouley I agree, I think Morph is easily the closest person to Logan. I like the idea of them being each other's support. Morph mentioning, "yet another timeline where Logan outlives us all" sounds like Morph was saddened by the thought of Logan being left on his own. I also get the impression that maybe Morph possibly has a long lifespan (we know Mystique's age is over 100 years old in this cartoon continuity) and can relate with Logan. Maybe Morph's early life had hardships that Logan felt related to his own struggles to cope with his memory loss and need to form an identity. There's a lot of potential, I hope they explore it more in the series.
@Nightman221k With what happened to Wolverine in Episode 9, I hope Morph will have his own "I will avenge you my friend, I swear it scene" like Wolverine did in the original first season.
0:52 I completely forgot that it was WOLVERINE who told Morph to "hit the shower", only for Morph to go there and think he found Wolverine naked and waiting for him. I mean, you cannot blame Morph for thinking Logan set him up to meet him there.
i'm not saying there in a relationship but based off that shower moment and when morph turned into sabbertooth i'm starting to think they might be having some pretty hardcore sex/ have a pain kink i mean what was morph gonna do with those claws
Im not gonna lie, i think morph was really just about to fight wolverine and thought he caught him in the shower sad or something after what happened with his meet up with gean
It's cool seeing Logan having someone he openly considers and treats as a friend. He's usually so guarded so seeing him be so open to Morph is a real treat.
@@AloGAYcia we can safely just go with he/they at the same time since they were a HE throughout the whole old series as far as I remember and the new series is straight up a continuation, besides they present masculine in the human disguise, so please let's not get pressed over that
Morph is basically filling in for what Nightcrawler was with Wolverine in the 70's. Kind weird they went that route since Nightcrawler exists and joins the team anyway.
Morph definitely has a pretty deep crush, though tries to play it chill. Logan, *I think*, sees them as a true best friend. Even if the writers don't explore this more, it's a nice subtle dynamic that makes the characters more... human. For lack of a better word.
It's neat seeing these two hang out with each other. We get to see more of Morph's character & Wolverine gets to be more than just the angry stabby guy
NAH, I haven’t watched the show, but what was that shower scene, that’s all types of suspect. It would’ve been normal, but why did Morph mimic wolverines claws while offering to get Logan’s tough to reach spots? Nahhh bro, what does he mean by that, that it involves claws? We ain’t matching Morph’s freak with this one 😭!
Dude, my brain didn’t even comprehend the shower scene when I saw it. I literally just saw this video and it’s been months since I saw the episode it’s from. I have no clue how I didn’t comprehend it.
Never seen X-Men ‘97, but Morph reminds me of Deadpool; joking to hide the pain of experimentation, lil bit of homoeroticism, and bald as an egg. Probably why they get on with Wolverine so well…
Beau DeMayo confirmed that Morph has feelings toward Logan. Whether Logan has feelings towards Morph back has yet to be revealed, if at all. Logan was always protective of him, and in the original 90’s cartoon, went ballistic to go and save the one guy who could make him laugh when he found out that he was actually alive. Logan’s been around for a long time, I wouldn’t be surprised if a couple of non-bio females slipped in.
@@thebronzescribe2793I remember that one, Logan was a cowboy from Earth and Herc got banished from Olympus because Logan wasn't immortal. I'm not sure it's a "main" continuity, because kid Kurt also tried to genocide a whole planet because he got pretty pissed off too.
just realized the club scene, everyone is in civilian clothes ( basically, not your typical xmen standard uniform ) and morph can look like anyone but decides to just go in uniform lol
I honestly don’t get people clowning on morph being they/ them. X-men has always been “woke” and forward thinking lol plus it honestly makes so much Sense with morph😂
Yeah, not only does it make sense for a character who can literally change their sex at will to be non-binary, Morph went through some f***in shit when it comes to identity
Damn soon as wolverine sees jean or hears her name bro starts tweaking forget ripping the adamantium off his bones magneto shoulda just shown him a picture of jean and cyclops and he woukda got the same reaction 😂😂
I love that he offers Logan friendship on his terms, that scene with the chips is perfect. Bro is brooding, give him company and snacks. Except bro is also fucking feral so when that doesnt get him Morph turns into Sabertooth to "play" with him 😂 Its also why Wolverine "gets along" with Deadpool sometimes, because even if hes losing his shit Wade is as good at stressing him out as he is at being an outlet so Wolverine can just go apeshit 😂
1:41 Logan is obviously trying not to laugh, but is also looking at Morph like, " someone's in trouble". Morph and Wolverine are definitely best friends 😂😂❤❤ 3:41 one of the best lines delivered 😂😂
Logan has a type, and its beautiful Redheads and funny catty asshole twinks that will fight him when he's sad 😂 its okay, this is the true reason for the multiverse 😂
I binged the original series before this came out because I missed it when it was originally on. Every time I saw Morph and Wolverine together I couldn’t help but wonder how far the show would let them take things because Logan was openly deeply in love with Morph, and I’m an old straight guy. Next season given where things are going I bet it’s happening.
appreciate everyone's take on their "bromance" but i personally think they'd make the cutest couple (especially after the season finale) :D logan being with someone who can make him laugh and brings out the playful side of him as opposed to his dynamic with jean. i think it's neat! they both deserve that
I remember Morph was like a James Woods type character but in this one he has a more spicy Eric Effiong acting. I guess all that time with Mr. Sinister really change him.
Can u believe the people that are still just bothered by morph existing lmao I’ve seen several people referring to him telling Logan he loves him as Jean as him”coming out” like what as if Logan isn’t one of the most intuitive X-men
Morph being gay/trans for Wolverine (call it whatever you want, Logan is only into girls) could be a great drama piece, and honestly "unrequited love because attractions don't match, but the other person feels brotherly love instead of romantic" is something sorely lacking in today's adult stories.
It's a man crush. But morph isn't male nor female really, I think in this cannon thr white face is him not trying. Don't forget Logan is basically masculinity defined and always treat morph as an equal
I think only logan can be best friends with Morph because only he can smell his disguise. Rest others always live in constant fear whenever someone's hitting on them
They’d make the best couple in the x-men fr, manifesting they get together next season! (Also, if Wolverine goes feral like in the comics, after Magneto rips the adamantium out of him. I think Morph could be the one to save him, mirroring 92 and how Logan tried to save Morph. Would be a good relationship starting point, I think Morph loves him~
Ship or not, these two have the most healthiest relationship in the whole series.
So true though.
A lot better than Magneto x Rogue?

Morph: brings chips, beer, and friendship
Logan: pouts like a brat
Morph: *throws* chips, beer, and friendship at him

Morph wants to throw more than friendship at Logan. Or specifically for Logan to throw things...in their butt.
