@@the_nikster1 And honestly, i'd love that romance going somewhere but it doesnt even need to. Like Logan's crush on Jean but not even that prevalent. Just some character details that Morph may have a slight crush on Logan just to know where part of his stuff comes from
I forget who said it, but X-Men 97 sums it up pretty well: “Venom became a hero over the years because of his fun power set and great design. Magneto became a hero because it became harder and harder to say he was wrong about the world.”
@@looming416absolutely. But the trajectory is there, and in recent years the Power of X and House of X runs really cemented him and Charles as united behind a shared mutant cause that’s an amalgamation of the two ideologies.
As someone who’s always appreciated but never loved marvel comics, holy shit Magneto is probably one of the coolest villians ever, and they did him perfectly.
Storm striking the desert sands with lightning to make a glass tornado which ripped the sentinels apart was so awesome! And Magneto’s dialogue in this episode is some of the best ever written for him.
cyclops vs xcutioner is a really potent encapsulation of the minority struggles that x-men captures. cyclops is being beaten, spat on, and called petulant, all while *keeping his eyes closed, forced to protect x-cutioner*
Well said. Especially xcutioner's statement about "it's your whining, I hate your whining almost as much as I hate you." That's, unfortunately, how many bigots view the protest of minority struggle.
"Everyone has issues, but we're not complaining", that line was so obviously written by someone who knows what they're doing. And the scene of the doctors denying some people access. In this case they have kind of a point since mutants have powers. In real life they have no excuses.
Overall I like how they portray social issues threw the X-Man but sometimes it doesn’t work that well. Because like you said they have actual powers and make some of humans concerns relevant vs in the real world they wouldn’t be.
@@looming416Was shown even on the drive there that her telekinesis going haywire was a definite possibility, feel like they should have seen that coming.

The first episode of X-Men 97 is a fun return with a cool cliffhanger. From the second episode onwards - it becomes the greatest X-Men adaptation ever.
I'm a life long X-Men fan, 30+ years. This show is the best adaptation of the X-Men in any medium. The writing in this show is thoughtful, heartfelt, profound, and highlights each character's personality and their dynamics amongst each other accurately. Like, this show is the closest thing to how the comics feel. The animation only gets better and the action sequences will exceed your expectations. You haven't seen anything yet, as far as the feats they display when it comes to showcasing their powers, the fight choreography, the team work. You guys are in for one of the best comic book adaptations ever.
Fun fact regarding Magneto's helmet. It blocking Charles' telepathy was an invention of the 2000's movies, so at the time of the original cartoon it pretty much was just there to look cool.
The idea that the movies popularized that function of the helmet so much that majority of people just assume it was intended from the start is hilariously amazing.
Wolverine thinking Apocalypse was coming during Jean’s pregnancy is so him😂 & Magneto has some of the hardest lines so far & him battling with himself with Charles ideal was cool up in the atmosphere
Storm is never from Wakanda. She is effectively a combo of Kenyan, New Yorker and Egyptian. Her mother was a Kenyan princess who gave birth to her in Harlem, and when she was 6 months old she moved to Cairo, where she grew up. As a teenager, she eventually goes to the southwestern edge of Kenya itself, where she's basically a princess, where she meets T'Challa. In Kenya is where she first gets her powers, and she gets like adopted by a tribe and becomes their weather goddess. And then Xavier finally comes along and recruits her. Much much much much later she gets back together with T'Challa, who at that point is Black Panther and king of Wakanda, and they get married and she becomes queen of Wakanda.
I blame Reginald Hudson for wanting his Black Power Couple so much he overrode established characterisation… Also, the whole thing about Wakanda having the cure for cancer (among other things) but withholding it in what allegedly *isn’t* supposed to be hypocritical actions. And people think the MCU *started* the problems in writing we most complain of… Pah.
@@franciscooctavius5957 Not gonna argue with that; they did some stuff better than the comics (especially when they took messy or just bad stories or story concepts and made better versions of them - see "Civil War"), but they've increasingly made bad choices in recent years. And yes, a lot of things they were doing from early on were bad. Especially when they did them so often, so we couldn't view them in isolation (like setting up a villain and then killing them off anticlimactically in their second appearances - see Zola, Crossbones, Klaue, Strucker... they even almost did it with Mordo in DS: MoM as the script has the version from DS! being killed by Wanda!)
I'm really glad Eric correctly identified X-Cutioner's speech as 'Proud Boy shit'. I was so tired after this episode came out, seeing people claiming that he had a point or saying he was 'spitting facts' - and not even the obvious suspects.
Ya, a lot of fans can miss the very obvious point sometimes. It's kinda funny that it was one of the more on the nose speeches in terms of what it was trying to say, and people still managed to not understand
@@timothy1871 yeah, like me who just realized that Sandman explained to Peter that his daughter is sick, so it's okay for him to steal money, and Peter just gave him his blessing
Remember during Falcon & Winter Soldier, when John Walker brutally murdered someone in public for a crime he didn't even commit -- and then a ton of people were praising him and saying he was right to do it? Yeah... people are awful a lot of the time.
Magneto's speech in this episode was incredible and it hasn't left my mind since the episode aired even 9 weeks later. X-Men 97 is Marvel TV at it's best!
I have never loved Magneto more as a character on screen than in this one episode of tv! He still is the same man we knew as the antagonist in the original series, but to honor the memory and legacy of Charles Xavier, he is trying to be a better version of himself. It even reflects in his new uniform, it’s no longer armored or intimidating, a symbol that he is willing to change. Also I love that he is far more proactive than Charles was, by taking the Morlocks to the safe haven of Genosha rather than leave them in the sewers.
Everything Magneto says in this episode is basically, "for everyone in the back who somehow still don't understand what X-Men stories are really about, let me spell it out for you."
About Jean seeing Cyclops’s eyes, she hadnt seen them before the Dark Phoenix saga. She used her enhanced cognitive powers to briefly turn off Scott’s vision which allowed them to see each others eyes properly for the first time. And then they boned.
That time when someone said something like "We can't allow a lunatic to be a world leader" and he replies with "Yet you let a many world leaders to be a lunatic" is AWESOME
This show really got me crying over Magneto like I haven't in years. The writing here is top notch, and it's obvious everyone involved truly loves these characters.
fun fact there is a younger rogue comic where she has to absorb sniping skills from blackwidow cause her shooting arm is injured and she becomes a perfect marksman for a bit
In one comic, she actually gets complete control of her powers, and she is able to remember and use everyone's memories and powers shes ever touched. It was great.
Rogue's power is that she siphons life energy and memories from anyone she touches. In the case of mutants, she also gains their abilities for the same duration. That's literally her only power. But when she was a villain, she held onto Captain Marvel to the point she almost killed her, and permanently absorbed all her powers, and her memories. Thus her super strength, super durability, flight. Morph's ability is hecking AWESOME. I never realized he doesn't just shapeshift into other forms, but also getting their physical mutant abilities.
"Please...Don't make me let you down" - the absolute f**k around and find out energy Magneto exudes in that line. This show is masterful, hands down the best post-endgame Marvel project.
A good way to think about which powers Morph can use is to compare him to Eraser from My Hero. If Eraser couldn't turn it off, Morph can use it and vice versa.
In the OG series during the Dark Phoenix saga, Jean was strong enough to hold back Scott's beams, they had a scene where Jean stopped the beams bc she wanted to look into Scott's eyes
Finally. FINALLY! I have waited so long for you to pick up this show. Yes its only taken you 8 weeks. but god damn it. It is refreshing to see people do Reaction who dont know all comic storylines but are also observant thorough enough to catch so many things. Like I m sure every other of the 8 reactors I saw instantly knew what the Jean moment meant. I didnt.
So glad yall are finally checking the show out. This is the best show of the year thus far, imo. I've finished it. Which says alot since, I watched/covered Shogun, The Bad Batch S3 and Fallout. Yall ain't ready for what's coming. The dialogue is gona get better and better!!!
Whose watching this after the finale? Y'all are in for some straight fire. This show and season as a whole has made me feel more excited about future animated shows they will be doing and did not disappoint. Not one episode was ever even just okay. It was all fantastic in my opinion.
Rogue absorbs [everything] from an individual: memories, knowledge, etc. She just happens to also pick up powers if the individual innately has them. There are some great moments of her using this in the field in other media (X-men Evolution, Wolverine & The X-men)
The writing in this show alone let's you know it's for the kids who grew up with this series, it's not holding our hands but it's rewarding us for waiting for its return.
After watching the last episode and not to spoil nothing but seeing Wolverine say that particular line in this episode in hindsight he was right on point with that question IYKYK I didn’t even catch that, great foreshadowing / writing
Storm is actually American. Her parents were diplomats or some such and they and Ororo were in Africa when her parents tragiclly died. I believe there was an earthquake and the hotel they were staying in collapsed. Ororo was trapped in the rubble for days and that's were she got her paralyzing claustrophobia. She was rescued and ended up a homeless street urchin making by on pickpocketing tourists. One fellow she tried picking his wallet happend to be Xavier. Of course it's impossible to pick a telepaths pocket. So he froze her mind and seen she was gifted. He let her go but kept track of her and when she got older and he needed a new team of X-MEN he asked her to join him and the team.
The story lines of this series are singular talent on display. In addition to the visuals which literally place you directly in the comic book. Keep watching you will be amazed. Storms story line is one of the best ever written. And if a cartoon depiction could ever be hotter than Haley Berry, they’ve achieved it lol. So many huge moments in the comics are covered in this 10 ep series you will be blown away.
eric enjoying this show so much makes me so happy and they haven't seen ep5 & the second half yet!! p.s. i know they technically already have i mean the yt reactions (:
21:40 *Aaron:* _"Has Jean seen Cyclops's eyes?"_ Yes. There is a scene in _X-Men The Last Stand_ where she tells him to open his eyes and that she can hold back the power completely. Now that scene was essentially lifted directly from the comics, shortly after the *Phoenix* power is starting to manifest itself. *Scott* and *Jean* are at Warren Worthington's (Angel) compound/getaway in the desert. They're having a picnic on top of a plateau when this occurs. In *Scott's* thought bubble, he's kinda freaked out at the power required to hold back his optic blasts, and she's not breaking a sweat. I think they should have played out the Phoenix Saga over the course of 3 films.
After everything that is the MCU, it’s so good to have something from Marvel that actually takes itself seriously and doesn’t constantly make fun of the concept of superheroes. The grand moments aren’t cut short with a joke, imposing characters aren’t made fun of for being too serious or lame, the writing is actually good.
This show is fantastic, it manages to hit similar story beats as the original while elevating them to some much more adult themes. But the stand out is absolutely Magnito. Pretty much every character is elevated and given great lines or moments, but Magnito is on another level.
Jean can make Scott’s eyes normal with her powers when she’s with him so he doesn’t need to visor or sunglasses but she has to be using her powers to do it. Also Scott doesn’t shoot lasers from his eyes, he shoots concussive blasts.

Eric’s impression as Magneto saying “Never again” at 14:37 was actually incredible and really spot-on, he could totally be a voice actor.
I noticed that too, alongside his impression of "Who, Apocalypse?"
This may be the first time I've ever wanted you all to binge watch a series in one sitting.
Magneto is an absolute HIGHLIGHT in an already fantastic show
Magneto's speech gives me chills no matter how many times I hear it
10:38 the writing is so good Eric had to stop and sit back
Everything Magneto says in this episode is basically, "for everyone in the back who somehow still don't understand what X-Men stories are really about, let me spell it out for you."
They understand, they just choose to not know.
Morph and Wolverine are friends since the 90´s version of the show, Logan is the most angry when he is killed by the sentinels
As high as the MCU reached at its peak, this series is the proof in the pudding why animation is the superior medium for comic book adaptations.
1:45 “Who put this together, Boeing?!” 🤣
About Jean seeing Cyclops’s eyes, she hadnt seen them before the Dark Phoenix saga. She used her enhanced cognitive powers to briefly turn off Scott’s vision which allowed them to see each others eyes properly for the first time. And then they boned.
the writing and voice acting for Magneto is phenomenal
I think we can all agree, Magneto has the best lines all season
Gambit had a pretty good line. Then it ended.
Agreed, but I think he was kind of ruined in the finale, when he became evil Magneto, wanting to destroy humanity again
That time when someone said something like "We can't allow a lunatic to be a world leader" and he replies with "Yet you let a many world leaders to be a lunatic" is AWESOME
Magneto's little speech up in the Atmosphere reminded me of Samuel Jackson's speech in the Diner to Tim Roth. "I'm Trying Ringo, I'm Trying REAL HARD"
They aren't "lasers." They are "concussive blasts."
"you shall never be afraid again"
😀
Logan being totally ready to fight against apocalypse but being totally dumbfounded when he realises it's the baby is so....Logan.
One is scarier than the other
Jean saw Cyclops eyes when she was Phoenix. Phoenix’s powers could hold back Cyclops powers
Scott also loses his powers a couple of times on the og series, both times Jean being there.
I believe Jean can use a psychic block to stop Scott's blast. He can't control it because of a brain injury as a child
The dialogue just gets better and better and better each episode 😩
If you thought this episode was 'Hot Fire', you're gonna be roasted alive for the rest of the season, sooner than you think
I believe during the Phoenix arc, Jean used her powers to neutralize Scott's eye blasts.
Glad I’m not the only one who was shocked by how good the show is.
"Who put this together? Boeing?" Eric!! 😂 barely 2 minutes in and I'm laughing
Every line of Magneto blew me away. And I was genuinely shocked when Storm got hit.
Magneto doesnt believe in Charles methods, but he believes in Charles
This show is easily Marvels best tv show, and up there as one of the best superhero projects of all time. Fucking perfect

Like I m sure every other of the 8 reactors I saw instantly knew what the Jean moment meant. I didnt.
22:00 They address this later in the show, but Jean is strong enough that she can block his optic blasts and see his eyes.
Everyone talks about "Don't make me let you down" but doesn't show enough love to "Oh to play by the rules, and still they come for you"
So glad yall are finally checking the show out. This is the best show of the year thus far, imo. I've finished it. Which says alot since, I watched/covered Shogun, The Bad Batch S3 and Fallout. Yall ain't ready for what's coming. The dialogue is gona get better and better!!!

Yoo...Magneto is so fucking cool. He's like a wizard. And he also has a point about mutants vs humans

Rogue absorbs [everything] from an individual: memories, knowledge, etc. She just happens to also pick up powers if the individual innately has them. There are some great moments of her using this in the field in other media (X-men Evolution, Wolverine & The X-men)
Magneto's costume was 80's-tastic (When he wore it, for, like a whole 10 issues before he changes it again)
The writing in this show alone let's you know it's for the kids who grew up with this series, it's not holding our hands but it's rewarding us for waiting for its return.
After watching the last episode and not to spoil nothing but seeing Wolverine say that particular line in this episode in hindsight he was right on point with that question IYKYK
I didn’t even catch that, great foreshadowing / writing
This show is honestly amazing. Soooo good. This show got me back into marvel and heavy into X Men
The first of many amazing Magneto speeches.
Morph should go by another moniker: Mister Cameo lol

Magneto's lines are amazing in this episode :)
I'm so excited for this show, this is genuinely such a phenomenal show
Magneto is definitely a top 10 character. His lines and voice acting is so significant, I love him so much. Such an important character.
More like top1 character
Well, Jean has blue eyes (in the show anyway), and the baby has brown eyes. So by deduction, he has Scott's eyes.

Storms story line is one of the best ever written. And if a cartoon depiction could ever be hotter than Haley Berry, they’ve achieved it lol. So many huge moments in the comics are covered in this 10 ep series you will be blown away.
Season’s done and ngl it feels good to watch reactions to a simpler time in X-Men ‘97 😅
Honestly, at this point I just need an audiobook of Magneto just insulting me for hours.
eric enjoying this show so much makes me so happy and they haven't seen ep5 & the second half yet!!
p.s. i know they technically already have i mean the yt reactions (:
21:40 *Aaron:* _"Has Jean seen Cyclops's eyes?"_ Yes. There is a scene in _X-Men The Last Stand_ where she tells him to open his eyes and that she can hold back the power completely.
Now that scene was essentially lifted directly from the comics, shortly after the *Phoenix* power is starting to manifest itself. *Scott* and *Jean* are at Warren Worthington's (Angel) compound/getaway in the desert. They're having a picnic on top of a plateau when this occurs. In *Scott's* thought bubble, he's kinda freaked out at the power required to hold back his optic blasts, and she's not breaking a sweat.
I think they should have played out the Phoenix Saga over the course of 3 films.
After everything that is the MCU, it’s so good to have something from Marvel that actually takes itself seriously and doesn’t constantly make fun of the concept of superheroes. The grand moments aren’t cut short with a joke, imposing characters aren’t made fun of for being too serious or lame, the writing is actually good.
This show is fantastic, it manages to hit similar story beats as the original while elevating them to some much more adult themes. But the stand out is absolutely Magnito.
Pretty much every character is elevated and given great lines or moments, but Magnito is on another level.
Scott's Eyes: They do address this later in the season. This episode sets up A LOT.
Can't wait for you boys to see & react to episode 5, 6, 8 and the season finale, which we all true fans just watched yesterday.
Jean can make Scott’s eyes normal with her powers when she’s with him so he doesn’t need to visor or sunglasses but she has to be using her powers to do it. Also Scott doesn’t shoot lasers from his eyes, he shoots concussive blasts.
I WANT MORE OF THE REACTIONS WHY MUST YOU MAKE ME WAIT 😩
MAN you guys are in for a wild ass ride now that this season is over
