Fun fact: In the comics, it’s known that when they Watcher shows up in person, something majorly important is going to happen- and a lot of the time it’s something terrible. So the Watcher showing up in this episode was a warning that something major was about to happen.
I think Spider-Man said it in one of the crossover books, that if the Watcher shows up, you're in trouble. Whatever they were facing, he wasn't worried, because the Watcher wasn't there, then he turned and saw him.
I loved this. It's like they're starting to acknowledge the comic books more. In the Civil War run the Watcher also appeared before the Pro Registration group (and they all saw it)
The one time she’s finally able to touch him…”I can’t feel you” That last scene BROKE me. Same goes for "Remember it." Gambit went out like a real warrior. I hope this somehow isn't the end for him.
I can't fucking believe they actually adapted it. Just two weeks ago someone said "wouldn't it be crazy if they adapted E for Extinction?" and I was like "That'd be crazy." Holy shit.
everyone who knows that event is thinking right now "SHE IS HEEEEEEEERE" also great cuz that means we getting best girl boss into the team sooner than I thought. shame tho, Cyclops needed more trauma, he needed that Apocyclopse moment to break him more lmao
"There is no love without sin. Love is best measured in what we forgive. " -- Nightcrawler Beautiful line. That ending was insane! One of the best of episodes of Marvel Television ever released! X-Men 97 might be my favorite thing Marvel Studios has ever done. Period.
felt like they captured night crawlers character so well in such short time. A mastery and strong use of his powers, care for others above himself, and marriage a christen/catholic thing with his accent. this show was made by comic mfs for comic mfs i feel like fr
That line the writers were inspired by the late filmaker and writer Peter Ustinov. Peter Ustinov said: "Love is an act of endless forgiveness, a tender look which becomes a habit. Love is measured by your capacity to forgive"
Sheera still not understanding that Scott never switched up on Madelyn, he acknowledged that she's a clone, because that's WHAT SHE IS, but he still always loved her. His feelings never dropped for her OR for the real Jean. It's a complicated situation all around.
@@sandnin1 As a fan of cyclops I can tell someone on the team is also a fan. They are doing everything they can to make this man likable but it seems to be the steepest uphill battle imaginable. ANY sign of struggle and they're immediately on his a$$. He was on top of the world. He was the leader, had a wife, had a baby, was gonna go into retirement with the family. Magneto took over, wife left and wasn't actually Jean, baby was sent forwards in time, can't leave now after a nuclear bomb just dropped on mutant kind, and Jean is shacking up with Wolverine. He should be going ballistic.
Its not really that alot of people die. Its just a major event that will shake the entirety of the Marvel timeline(s). Like in the comics when i think he witnessed events like Civil War.

Someone pointed out that the music that was playing in the club right before they got attacked was the same music that Madelyn Pryor heard in the first episode when she had that weird premonition vision. Showrunners got some good ass attention to detail moments.

The way Rogue's voice breaks crumpled me. The individual scenes with both Rogue and Magneto literally about feeling her at different levels, and then the first time she can actually touch him skin-to-skin..... "I can't feel you" And he'll never know she chose him.
Sheera Madeleine and Jean are the Same Person, same genetics, appearance, abilities, memory and Personality. The only difference between the two is Jean is Scotts childhood love, while Madeleine is his Wife and the mother of his son. Scott and jean share the same history but Scott and Madeleine share a parental bond and share the same pain losing their child. Scott can't just go back to jean after abandoning Nathan and act like his time with Madeleine didn't happen or matter. Him saying he loved both of them was the correct answer as they are literally the same.
There aren't enough comments talking about Magneto trying to save the morlocks. All the pain and rage and sorrow he feels in that moment and he uses his last breath to comfort Leech because he promised he would never be scared again. "...Do not be afraid." 😭
I wanna say it's a bit unfair to rag on Scott with the Jean situation. 1 he fell in love with yes, but not only are Jean and Madelynn pretty much the same, but Scott been married and had a kid with her. That's almost a year they've been together happily. And just cause Jean came back those feelings are supposed to suddenly end? So when Scott says he loves them both, i say that's probably the best thing he can say about how he feels, cause they're both Jean. And don't even get me started with her not bringing up that she kissed Logan not long ago
I hear you but he had a whole baby while she was going through hell. In her eyes that is the bigger sin. But BRUH Scott got some balls try to cheat on a psychic 😅
I don't understand how people don't get that she's a clone. Meaning that she not only has Jean's DNA but her personality as well. If Jean hadn't been kidnapped and cloned, all those memories and moments Scott had with Madelyn would have been with Jean, including their son. Scott's argument against Jean doesn't even make sense. Why would he be some memory?
They're both going through some fucked shit but there's a difference between kissing someone in the spur of the moment and having a romantic affair behind someone's back for a month. Also something to remember is that he does this after Madeline left. She "abandoned" Scott. They both deserve some criticism but it's perfectly understandable for a fan to be annoyed with Scott for his behaviour.
Well, he already accepts that Jean goes with Scott, doesn't mean he has to like it. And to Logan's credit, he is still mostly friends with both of them, enough not to try to ruin their marriage.
@@sweepingtime yeah but he never really practices what he just preached. If he really care for them as friends he move on and find his own love instead of also torturing himself.
@@Kidapollo92true, but that’s why Sabertooth is one of my favorite villains. Him coming after Logan’s loved ones on his birthdays is cosmic karma. Haha
The real thing I’ve been noticing is how similar of a show style this is to invincible. Follows the “comic accurate” approach while still changing things here and there. Kinda seems like marvel saw invincible and was like “hold up you mean we could’ve been doing this shit all along”
This felt like the first episode of Invincible: the majority of it was standard superhero cartoon stuff and the last few minutes were just death, chaos, and "wtf just happened"?
@@jfjvmdvbdcndkj Have you??? Name a single superhero show where the boyscout leader of the team speaks as a minority on the privilege of others while her wife kissed his rivals and he cheats on her with the mother of his child?
@jfjvmdvbdcndkj lmao you know what he meant. The quality of writing in the season so far has been top notch, even if the plots have been standard superhero fare. Calm down
The parallel with WandaVision for that "I can't feel you" line is 1000x more painful. My man Gambit went out like a G. Cable or Bishop or whoever better fix this 😭😭😭
The Sentinel attack had nothing to do with Magneto, it was just about Genosha getting accepted into the United Nations. It was about there being a mutant nation and it being a threat to "normal people"
If it's following the comics, it's about sibling rivalry, a 'women' so petty she will light the entire world on fire to give the middle finger to her brother.
@@WhysoSeriousSamualI don't think they're including Cassandra Nova in the animated series adaptation. It's most likely Bastion... he's literally Hilter.
That "Sugar...I can't feel you" had the same effect as the "I thought...I thought you were stronger" line from Mark. Just friggin gut wrenching and soul crushing😰
@@pollomaniacX-Men '97 is top tier but damn, only few MCU movies underwhelmed and that's only some after Endgame. Don't say "a lot." Damn, lol. The real crap movies are the Fox X-Men movies because none of them delivered the true X-Men experience like X-Men '97 is. All them sh*ts was dry ass Wolverine movies, lol. That's why Wolverine gotta take a back seat in XM97 because everything that's happening is way out of his league. He can't do nothing and I'm happy about it.
Scott is the best version of Charles + Magneto. He is not evil, he is not too kind, he is real and will try his best for do what is right but will not accept everything.
Facts bro, I did not even take a second glance the first watch through. Reddit was going crazy with “did anyone else see the Watcher?” Comments and I was like huh? No words lmao…
The most shocking and heartbreaking episode of tv since The Red Wedding in Game Of Thrones for me. When Magneto not only tried to comfort Leech but did so in his native language, knife to the heart. Then they twist the knife with the last line “I can’t feel you”!😭😭😭😭😭 This is officially the best Marvel the show ever made!
@@Dracobyte Supposedly he was really hard to work with. Wouldn't be the first good creator with such a tendency, but there aren't any direct statements I don't think.
@@Dracobyte They never explained why and Demayo isn't saying anything about it. The speculation is that Demayo has an Onlyfans account, and since higher ups at Disney still considers them as "family brand" they don't want a possible controversy or someshit. Really sucks because what he cooked up so far is really good. Animation service itself is done by Studio Mir, so animation looking good is on their part, but story itself is really solid to which is something Demayo and his team contributed.
Another fun fact: Gambit can use his powers to negate Rouge's touch too but he had Mr. Sinister surgically limit his powers because Gambit saw in another timeline, he beat the Phoenix and then used its power to destroy everything 🙃
That interview blowup with Cyclops is giving me massive “Cyclops is right” vibes. Revolutionary Cyclops, and the road to that version, was such a great era. It seems that this show is slowly building up to that development. I thought it was a good choice to have Scott lose control during the interview as it sets up the later events of the decimation of Genosha. Mutants have to try and appease humans time and time again, yet they are never truly accepted as an equal sapient being. It was honestly quite hard to watch the attack on Genosha as it felt like a real terrorist attack. So many feels and emotions. And I also loved adapting the Scott/Emma mind palace cheating story with Madelyne instead as it feels so at home given this story. Scott and Madelyne share a son and lost him together. That shared parental bond and trauma is hard to replace. Especially since Scott was abandoned by his father. And Magneto speaking german to Leech as they were about to die and Gambit’s “Remember it” callback then Rogue finally being able to touch him because he’s dead in her arms 😭😭😭 This is some of the best work that Marvel has put out and hopefully the MCU can handle the X-Men like this. Can’t wait for the next episode.
@@willmastez Except the Leech from the 3rd movie had no control over his powers (which benefited the people making the cure from him), whereas comic & cartoon Leech can switch it on & off.
Like this bitch is a bit special in the head. Hate that kinda nonsense. Just shut up and wait for shit to fizzle out when you want to talk. I took personal offense to the noise over the "I can't feel you" line.
Jean had the nerve to get mad at scott after she JUST kissed logan, rogue playing with gambit in his face, to go back to magneto in front of the world, to go back to gambit smh im disgusted. Magneto and gambit paying the ultimate price on top of everything that happpened was the last straw. Them two specifically need JUSTICE. They aint had peace throughout my whole lifetime 😭
Yes, Genosha is in Africa. It's a island north of Madagascar, off the coast of Africa. Regarding Magneto & Rogue's relationship, in the comics Magneto was de aged. So even though he's mentally in his 50s-60s+, in the original stories, biologically he's in his 30s.
Yeah the Magneto/Rogue ship is wierd, if only because of the whole 'Magneto is a holocaust survivor, yet comics exist on a sliding timescale' thing. I think it works perfectly fine in universe. It makes sense that Rogue would be romantically interested in the one guy who can actually physically touch her. Especially because he's Magneto, and Magneto's dope.
It also helped that their original relationship in the comics happened before Rogue and Gambit even MET. Gambit debuted about a year earlier at a time when Rogue had gone missing after a fight with Nimrod/MasterMold and was believed dead, but after the fling she didn't rejoin the team until right after Gambit had become a member. Their second attempt at a relationship happened at a time when Gambit had been turned into one of Apocalypse's Horsemen and couldn't be trusted because he still had his Death persona had in his head (just like Angel & Archangel).
@@senecavanzandt4425 Wakanda tends to stick to its own personal interests. Even when T'Challa was married to Storm he never made any real effort to help the mutant cause and that was BEFORE Namor flooded the country while high on the Phoenix Force.
This is partly based on a comic story called E is for Extinction, but also a story called Hellfire Gala: Fall of X (Fall of X is quite recent, last three years).
Gambit was originally an omega level mutant he unfortunately never met Professor Xavier when his powers first manifest. Mr. sinister offered to help him control his powers so he performed brain surgery on Gambit, fucking with the part of the brain that controls his powers which greatly reduced his capabilities because originally Gambit could just blow things up just by looking at them.
@@doge9813 No offense taken it happened in Earth-616 and it’s still canon to my knowledge. There was a storyline in the 90’s where Gambit fought against an alternate universe version of himself who was an Omega and I believe he got his powers originally restored. But at the end of that story arch his powers were brought back down to its current nerfed level. After he defeated his evil version
"You're Jean Grey and he's Scott Summers. Those are the rules, you just forgot them for a sec" For Wolverine to walk away from an emotionally vulnerable jean Grey who kissed him of her own accord...His character is impeccable. I would've woken up next to her with a sense of satisfaction and self loathing
@@sandnin1Jean and Cyclops are gonna get divorced. I feel it. They hinted at it in episode 4 with the Divorce Court parody reference in Mojo's World.😢
Damn, I think the gang missed the ending dialogue from Rogue: "Sugar, I... I can't feel you" cause Sheera was talking over it. But man I know for myself and a lot of others out there, it hit like a fucking truck.
The known characters that died at least from what I counted are Banshee, Madelyne Prior, Sebastian Shaw, Dazzler, Marrow, Moira mctarget, callisto and the morlocks, Magneto and Gambit. It was a whole genocide thats crazy
What's wild is that Gambit (at least in the comics) has an ability that negates touch based powers, it also shields him from mind-control and telepaths, some sort of static storing ability that is coupled with his Kinetic power. So he and Rogue could touch and she would not kill him accidentally
If the watcher was there that means that shit was not surposed to happened because he would have stopped cable. Which mean cable is about to redo it all.
According to the showrunner this isnt even the high point of the season. The 3 episode finale is gonna be crazier. This might be better than anything an xmen movie will do.
Just for some context because some of the characters in this episode were already introduced in the OG Show like Emma frost one the strongest telepaths in the verse easily top 5 if not top 3 The guy she was standing next to is Sebastian Shaw an alpha level mutant (one level under Omega)they’re both from the Hellfire club they used to be villains but these days at least Emma is more an Xmen now and a high ranking too more than shaw he still on his bullshit more times But his powers are somewhat like bishop but instead of absorbing all types of energy he can conduct and absorb kinetic energy to make himself stronger ,faster and more durable. You may have seen him in live action played by Kevin bacon in XM first class film which Moira character was also in played by Rose Byrne who’s sometime seen as Xavier’s girl Banshee the other redhead person on the table was also in first class he has a sonic scream power with a suit that allows him to fly is another one of the earlier xmen depending or what your reading. P.S if it wasn’t obvious cable is also a telepath it was him giving his mums a headache trying to warn them about the attack 😢 and plus give my boy Scott some grace y’all it’s not as simple as drop one and choose the other all 3 involed have no idea when the switch happened other than the last 9montns because madelyn had the baby but of course he loves both especially when they both believe they where the same person at one point everyone is a victim at this point.😞😭
12:28 It's pretty cool to see both Emma Frost and Sébastien Shaw in the same room with Magento. I don't recall them ever interacting in the original series! 🙏🏽💪
whenever i tell people my favorite thing from marvel was the x men and its not even close, id have to explain why because the movies were so watered down. i like seeing people get into x men through x men 97 and i gotta say its doing a killer job adapting
So Jean gets a pass for cheating in reality with a different person, but Scott gets your spite for cheating with a clone mentally? Lmao, make it make sense. 🤣
Kissing someone in the heat of the moment is fundamentally different from sneaking around with someone for a month. They're both a betrayal of trust but they are not the same thing AT ALL
I also got confused when I watched this episode. The theme of Genosha sounds African because Genosha is North from Madagascar, East coast of Africa. So the music makes sense.
So everyone not knowing what this sentinel isn. Its called a wild sentinel , its way way more dangerouse then a master mold , and plus its an adaptive sentinal , it adapts to what ever or whoever its trying to kill , and it uses the resources it may have near it to its advantage , and again ill leave this name " cassandra nova "

Well, he already accepts that Jean goes with Scott, doesn't mean he has to like it. And to Logan's credit, he is still mostly friends with both of them, enough not to try to ruin their marriage.
Real talk, I like Scott better with Emma Frost. Logan can have Jean.
@@sweepingtime yeah but he never really practices what he just preached. If he really care for them as friends he move on and find his own love instead of also torturing himself.
@@AzulApe I mean honestly Jean is tripping but growing up I never liked Logan trying break up a happy home in the comics
@@Kidapollo92true, but that’s why Sabertooth is one of my favorite villains. Him coming after Logan’s loved ones on his birthdays is cosmic karma. Haha
X-Men '97 creator Beau DeMayo says Episode
5 was just "our warm-up"
"Episode 8-10 is my big one:)"❤
if who I think is coming into the fray, the X-Men are about to get the Silent Hill Ascension IT'S TRAUMA sticker dropped on them
This is peak idk wtf happened at marvel but they locked in for this show
Yeah for real
The real thing I’ve been noticing is how similar of a show style this is to invincible. Follows the “comic accurate” approach while still changing things here and there. Kinda seems like marvel saw invincible and was like “hold up you mean we could’ve been doing this shit all along”
@@WilliamShockley-x1uHere’s hoping they actually do something with Hulk for once instead of trashing him.
This felt like the first episode of Invincible: the majority of it was standard superhero cartoon stuff and the last few minutes were just death, chaos, and "wtf just happened"?
The first half was anything but standard superhero cartoon stuff tf
@@Melkac you haven't watched much superhero cartoons, have you?
@@jfjvmdvbdcndkj Have you??? Name a single superhero show where the boyscout leader of the team speaks as a minority on the privilege of others while her wife kissed his rivals and he cheats on her with the mother of his child?
@jfjvmdvbdcndkj lmao you know what he meant. The quality of writing in the season so far has been top notch, even if the plots have been standard superhero fare. Calm down

We always will 😢
The parallel with WandaVision for that "I can't feel you" line is 1000x more painful. My man Gambit went out like a G. Cable or Bishop or whoever better fix this 😭😭😭
When you see Cable, you know the timelines f*cked and he's here to unf*ck it 😅
@@juhblaze "He's coming."
Who else would Cable be afraid of besides Apocalypse? He is 110% pulling the strings here and this is all setup for him.
no fixing this is big moment in x men that will effect the series for decades not just years no fixing it's cannon can't be fixed
Gambit’s Vegeta moment was GOATED 🫡
The Sentinel attack had nothing to do with Magneto, it was just about Genosha getting accepted into the United Nations. It was about there being a mutant nation and it being a threat to "normal people"
If it's following the comics, it's about sibling rivalry, a 'women' so petty she will light the entire world on fire to give the middle finger to her brother.
@@WhysoSeriousSamualI don't think they're including Cassandra Nova in the animated series adaptation. It's most likely Bastion... he's literally Hilter.
That "Sugar...I can't feel you" had the same effect as the "I thought...I thought you were stronger" line from Mark.
Just friggin gut wrenching and soul crushing😰
Top tier show. The writing is immaculate
This show is wayyyyyy better then a lot of MCU shitty movies
@@pollomaniacIK! Thank you Marvel for delivering this masterpiece 😭✋🏼🤩
Literally!! I’m so invested and want more every week
They need to bring back boy who was fired he clearly knows what he was doing
@@pollomaniacX-Men '97 is top tier but damn, only few MCU movies underwhelmed and that's only some after Endgame. Don't say "a lot." Damn, lol. The real crap movies are the Fox X-Men movies because none of them delivered the true X-Men experience like X-Men '97 is. All them sh*ts was dry ass Wolverine movies, lol. That's why Wolverine gotta take a back seat in XM97 because everything that's happening is way out of his league. He can't do nothing and I'm happy about it.
Roshi brought up a good point “she lost both her love interests” she danced between both being indecisive and lost both of em.
New Magneto becoming a bit more like Charles
Scott is becoming more like old magneto
Nah Scott is just becoming like his current comic self. Hopefully that change is complete with Emma Frost joining the team.
Scott is becoming the real him. He is a pragmatist. Not a corny idealist like Xavier or Magneto.
Yes if you keep up with the comics you know Scott is who Scott always was.😅 Just no Professor X to keep this side of him in check
GIVE US MUTANT REVOLUTION CYCLOPS! DO IT MARVEL
Scott is the best version of Charles + Magneto. He is not evil, he is not too kind, he is real and will try his best for do what is right but will not accept everything.
I somehow didnt process the Watcher the first time i saw the episode. Looking back, that shit is SCARY.
"OH cool the Watcher!"
"OH NO THE WATCHER!"
@@The0-2DemonKing The dumb part was me thinking "it kinda looks like a guy's in the sky" and moving on lmao
@@_darkkstar_😂😂😂😂
Facts bro, I did not even take a second glance the first watch through. Reddit was going crazy with “did anyone else see the Watcher?” Comments and I was like huh? No words lmao…
its always cool to see the watcher watching until you realize oh god no the watcher is watching
14:13 It's crazy because the music, Cable saying, "I'm sorry" was all part of Madeline's vision in episode one! Insanely good writing! 🙏🏽💪
The most shocking and heartbreaking episode of tv since The Red Wedding in Game Of Thrones for me. When Magneto not only tried to comfort Leech but did so in his native language, knife to the heart. Then they twist the knife with the last line “I can’t feel you”!😭😭😭😭😭
This is officially the best Marvel the show ever made!
Oh storm lose her powers then gambit dies?!! Oh I’m writing a strong ass letter to marvel tonight!!!
if they adapting the comic event we think they doing, well, hold on that letter, YOU'RE ABOUT TO BE MEGA PISSED
dont you think you should see how it all ends first lol
Cable is going to fix it
@@lizzybethnj617 he fucking better
@@lizzybethnj617He said “not again”, meaning he’s tried multiple times to change the past and has failed. He won’t change anything.
Beau DeMayo wasn't messing around in this episode!
I hope they bring him back
He saves that for onlyfans.
Why was he fired?
@@Dracobyte Supposedly he was really hard to work with. Wouldn't be the first good creator with such a tendency, but there aren't any direct statements I don't think.
@@Dracobyte They never explained why and Demayo isn't saying anything about it. The speculation is that Demayo has an Onlyfans account, and since higher ups at Disney still considers them as "family brand" they don't want a possible controversy or someshit. Really sucks because what he cooked up so far is really good. Animation service itself is done by Studio Mir, so animation looking good is on their part, but story itself is really solid to which is something Demayo and his team contributed.
Shogun and X-Men competing for best show of the year.
Another fun fact: Gambit can use his powers to negate Rouge's touch too but he had Mr. Sinister surgically limit his powers because Gambit saw in another timeline, he beat the Phoenix and then used its power to destroy everything 🙃
Man Rogues VA deserves an award for that last line
That interview blowup with Cyclops is giving me massive “Cyclops is right” vibes. Revolutionary Cyclops, and the road to that version, was such a great era. It seems that this show is slowly building up to that development. I thought it was a good choice to have Scott lose control during the interview as it sets up the later events of the decimation of Genosha. Mutants have to try and appease humans time and time again, yet they are never truly accepted as an equal sapient being.
It was honestly quite hard to watch the attack on Genosha as it felt like a real terrorist attack. So many feels and emotions. And I also loved adapting the Scott/Emma mind palace cheating story with Madelyne instead as it feels so at home given this story. Scott and Madelyne share a son and lost him together. That shared parental bond and trauma is hard to replace. Especially since Scott was abandoned by his father.
And Magneto speaking german to Leech as they were about to die and Gambit’s “Remember it” callback then Rogue finally being able to touch him because he’s dead in her arms 😭😭😭
This is some of the best work that Marvel has put out and hopefully the MCU can handle the X-Men like this.
Can’t wait for the next episode.
Militant Cyclops would always be the best version of him, imo. Don't know why they scaled him back during Krakoa.
And we reached that point without having Cyclops going thru his Apocyclopse phase, still I believe Emma will find a way into the team after this
@@RandalReid Both Krakoa era ,and a Cyclops that doesn't follow Xavier dream are ass.
X-men are X-men because of Xaviers dream.
Militant Dicklops sucked ass . I'll Always take the 90's one who raised Nathan in the future with Jean any day. Sadly people forget that version...
03:44 The green guy is Leech, his power is that he can nullify mutant powers for a limited time.
This episode hit like a truck.
Oh thats bro from the old movie
@@nom2005huh?

@@Smokey1419 he meant the 3rd movie
@@willmastez Except the Leech from the 3rd movie had no control over his powers (which benefited the people making the cure from him), whereas comic & cartoon Leech can switch it on & off.
Seeing Cable(Future Nathan) got me intrigued,I gotta see an episode from his perspective on saving Genosha,Gambit can't gone bro! 💯💯
Either a whole episode, or just a half episode segment that leads into the plot. Either way, I'd be satisfied.
Episode 7, it's on the way. (In 2 weeks)
I'm more tripped on how he sounds like Josh Brolin in this.
Sheera's ability to talk over emotional scenes is unparalleled.
Nothing wrong with that
They didn't even listen to "I...I can't feel you" scene. They kept talking.
@@subject_of_ymir very annoying
cause she has no empathy
Like this bitch is a bit special in the head.
Hate that kinda nonsense.
Just shut up and wait for shit to fizzle out when you want to talk.
I took personal offense to the noise over the "I can't feel you" line.
18:13 Bruh the real demon is this editor. Dude is outrageous 😂
“The names Gambit……………remember it…. “
Jean had the nerve to get mad at scott after she JUST kissed logan, rogue playing with gambit in his face, to go back to magneto in front of the world, to go back to gambit smh im disgusted. Magneto and gambit paying the ultimate price on top of everything that happpened was the last straw. Them two specifically need JUSTICE. They aint had peace throughout my whole lifetime 😭
sheera talking over the most emotional line of the whole episode
They gave Rogue and Gambit the “Death of Superman” scene.
Yes, Genosha is in Africa. It's a island north of Madagascar, off the coast of Africa.
Regarding Magneto & Rogue's relationship, in the comics Magneto was de aged. So even though he's mentally in his 50s-60s+, in the original stories, biologically he's in his 30s.
Yeah the Magneto/Rogue ship is wierd, if only because of the whole 'Magneto is a holocaust survivor, yet comics exist on a sliding timescale' thing.
I think it works perfectly fine in universe. It makes sense that Rogue would be romantically interested in the one guy who can actually physically touch her. Especially because he's Magneto, and Magneto's dope.
It also helped that their original relationship in the comics happened before Rogue and Gambit even MET. Gambit debuted about a year earlier at a time when Rogue had gone missing after a fight with Nimrod/MasterMold and was believed dead, but after the fling she didn't rejoin the team until right after Gambit had become a member. Their second attempt at a relationship happened at a time when Gambit had been turned into one of Apocalypse's Horsemen and couldn't be trusted because he still had his Death persona had in his head (just like Angel & Archangel).
In Africa, huh?? Could the survivors of Genosha ask Wakanda for relief support after that hellish attack??
@@senecavanzandt4425 Wakanda tends to stick to its own personal interests. Even when T'Challa was married to Storm he never made any real effort to help the mutant cause and that was BEFORE Namor flooded the country while high on the Phoenix Force.
Yooooo! They gotta bring the showrunner back. He's killing every episode so far and it's not even close
This is partly based on a comic story called E is for Extinction, but also a story called Hellfire Gala: Fall of X (Fall of X is quite recent, last three years).
“Oooimbouttamakanamefomaself” really hittin after this episode, rip the GOAT
The Watcher eating space popcorn while the world burns.
this episode was GLORIOUS and SUPREMELY heartbreaking. love it.
Gambit was originally an omega level mutant he unfortunately never met Professor Xavier when his powers first manifest. Mr. sinister offered to help him control his powers so he performed brain surgery on Gambit, fucking with the part of the brain that controls his powers which greatly reduced his capabilities because originally Gambit could just blow things up just by looking at them.
Isn't that only in some storylines and didn't Gambit go through that procedure willingly?
@@doge9813 yeah he did that’s why I wrote Mr. Sinister offered to help him. Gambit went through the surgery willingly.
@@emmittnervend2918 oh my bad but does that take place in the 616 universe? Is it still canon?
@@doge9813 No offense taken it happened in Earth-616 and it’s still canon to my knowledge. There was a storyline in the 90’s where Gambit fought against an alternate universe version of himself who was an Omega and I believe he got his powers originally restored. But at the end of that story arch his powers were brought back down to its current nerfed level. After he defeated his evil version
"You're Jean Grey and he's Scott Summers. Those are the rules, you just forgot them for a sec" For Wolverine to walk away from an emotionally vulnerable jean Grey who kissed him of her own accord...His character is impeccable. I would've woken up next to her with a sense of satisfaction and self loathing
I'd get over the guilt within the week 🤣
Sheera cant read the room when she makes corny jokes
So Jean just gonna act like ain’t just kiss Logan??? Naw she tripping. This the love triangle episode I see
I really hope they find their way back to eachother. What happened to them was unfair.
@@sandnin1 you think Scott and Jean or Logan and Jean
@@sandnin1Jean and Cyclops are gonna get divorced. I feel it. They hinted at it in episode 4 with the Divorce Court parody reference in Mojo's World.😢
Damn, I think the gang missed the ending dialogue from Rogue: "Sugar, I... I can't feel you" cause Sheera was talking over it. But man I know for myself and a lot of others out there, it hit like a fucking truck.
Now every time I watch the old show I’m gonna be thinking Magneto and Rouge were smashing before
The only other X-Men project that showed just how scary sentinels actually are was X-Men days of future past
The known characters that died at least from what I counted are Banshee, Madelyne Prior, Sebastian Shaw, Dazzler, Marrow, Moira mctarget, callisto and the morlocks, Magneto and Gambit. It was a whole genocide thats crazy
What's wild is that Gambit (at least in the comics) has an ability that negates touch based powers, it also shields him from mind-control and telepaths, some sort of static storing ability that is coupled with his Kinetic power. So he and Rogue could touch and she would not kill him accidentally
The moment we saw The Watcher show up, you just knew it was going to get ugly. Holy shit.
Good catch on The Watcher, Roshi. It might not mean he interacts with the story, but The Watcher usually is there to witness pivotal events
When Cable suddenly shows up telling you to get out, you get the fuck out.
How tf do you even get out? The blast literally happened milliseconds later.
I jumped out of my seat when I saw cable. I knew shit was about to go down
6:28 My man Wolverine!!!! I respect him for being the mature one! 🙏🏽💪
After years of stalking and hitting on a married woman.
Too little, too late.
@@happyslapsgiving5421 Yikes! Well, you're not wrong! 😭😂
X3MA you didn't.... that watcher edit is nearly illegal😂😂😂
Ep 5 went hard AF🙌🏻…upcoming 3-part finale gonna cook real nice🔥
If the watcher was there that means that shit was not surposed to happened because he would have stopped cable. Which mean cable is about to redo it all.
Gambit went out like a G.😭💔
Storm stuck in a damn pocket dimension and gonna come back to all this chaos... 😩
If y’all didn’t notice, the Watcher makes a cameo right before Genosha gets attacked, that’s how you know shit was about to go down.
Did you watch their reaction?
@@rudrodeepchatterjeebro just left a comment and dipped💀
Uatu the Watcher showing up was lowkey a giveaway that s**t was about to go down.
I need cable to fuck with the time-line the same way the flash does and fix this. 😢
The Watcher: “damn you guys don’t got a captain carter I can summon? Guess you guys are on your own.”
According to the showrunner this isnt even the high point of the season. The 3 episode finale is gonna be crazier. This might be better than anything an xmen movie will do.
4:13 the editor makes his presence known in a hilarious way. The sound for Nightcrawler in the comics is "Bamf", so the Kendrick adlib is fitting.🤣🤣🤣
Glad they use the best quips and lines from the OG series 🔥 "remember it"
Its crazy how fast the switch up was in the episode.
Bodies
Even though this ep was really sad, I'm just glad glob got some love.
Just for some context because some of the characters in this episode were already introduced in the OG Show like Emma frost one the strongest telepaths in the verse easily top 5 if not top 3
The guy she was standing next to is Sebastian Shaw an alpha level mutant (one level under Omega)they’re both from the Hellfire club they used to be villains but these days at least Emma is more an Xmen now and a high ranking too more than shaw he still on his bullshit more times
But his powers are somewhat like bishop but instead of absorbing all types of energy he can conduct and absorb kinetic energy to make himself stronger ,faster and more durable. You may have seen him in live action played by Kevin bacon in XM first class film which Moira character was also in played by Rose Byrne who’s sometime seen as Xavier’s girl
Banshee the other redhead person on the table was also in first class he has a sonic scream power with a suit that allows him to fly is another one of the earlier xmen depending or what your reading.
P.S if it wasn’t obvious cable is also a telepath it was him giving his mums a headache trying to warn them about the attack 😢 and plus give my boy Scott some grace y’all it’s not as simple as drop one and choose the other all 3 involed have no idea when the switch happened other than the last 9montns because madelyn had the baby but of course he loves both especially when they both believe they where the same person at one point everyone is a victim at this point.😞😭
Roshi : it's to happy and peaceful
A few seconds later
Roshi: What da hell happen 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Went from X-Men to Invincible real quick lmaoo
12:28 It's pretty cool to see both Emma Frost and Sébastien Shaw in the same room with Magento. I don't recall them ever interacting in the original series! 🙏🏽💪
They did interact in X-Men: First Class
4:32 Incredible Nightcrawler fight scene of all time! 🙏🏽💪
11:50 had me weaaaak “bald ass head” 💀
whenever i tell people my favorite thing from marvel was the x men and its not even close, id have to explain why because the movies were so watered down. i like seeing people get into x men through x men 97 and i gotta say its doing a killer job adapting
You really can't blame Cyclops. Jean on the other hand thought it was a good idea to kiss Logan.
This is why I fuckin love reactors, bro, especially these three. They point shit out that I didn't even see. That Watcher cameo was absolutely insane.
Gambit is literally HIM
Man, adding the watcher in the sky was crazy, they were telling us something big was about to go down, and it did 💀
Regarding your comment at minute 4:00, Genosha is an island nation off the coast of Africa.
Ya’ll missed the best line of the show because you wouldn’t shut up. 😂
Reaction channels in general
FACTS!!!!!!! They to excited sometimes, lol. They gotta micromanage their foolery.😭
So Jean gets a pass for cheating in reality with a different person, but Scott gets your spite for cheating with a clone mentally? Lmao, make it make sense. 🤣
Essentially stepping out for a month isn't really on the same level. My only problem is it not being brought up.
@@mr.protagonist5639Jean can kick rocks with her manipulation. Emma Frost is better for Scott anyways.

Kissing someone in the heat of the moment is fundamentally different from sneaking around with someone for a month.
They're both a betrayal of trust but they are not the same thing AT ALL
I also got confused when I watched this episode. The theme of Genosha sounds African because Genosha is North from Madagascar, East coast of Africa. So the music makes sense.
Omg this episode was insane. This show is straight HEAT
So everyone not knowing what this sentinel isn. Its called a wild sentinel , its way way more dangerouse then a master mold , and plus its an adaptive sentinal , it adapts to what ever or whoever its trying to kill , and it uses the resources it may have near it to its advantage , and again ill leave this name " cassandra nova "
