That and Scott's tirade during his interview. As a kid, that would have made me think he was turning into a bad guy. Same with the Rogue/Cap scene. I don't think it's even that it's catering to adults as it is the times have changed? I dunno.

At first I thought they changed the opening for the second half of the season or something (ie: replacing you know who with Nightcrawler last episode) but now I realize it's like GoT, they put in the scenes in the opening pertaining to the featured characters. So last time Forge and X-Factor were a scene as well as Lilandra and this time they weren't?

Also cool how they had



in the background of earlier episodes, like the forge photo. Plus Operation Zero Tolerance and all that. Makes sense about the Bishop part of the opening being there (from the old two parter One Man's Worth). I highly recommend watching that or at least getting a summary.

Surprised they went there but it loops in the time travelers. I thought they were going for

Why So Blu?

Man, another "horror" inspired episode! It was great.

candyrocket786

I really don't want this season to end.

fujishig

Those were some cameos I didn't expect...

My main question is, how are they going to top this next season?

candyrocket786

Age of Apocalypse? 🤔

Uh-oh. Being nice to each other! Helping! Tolerance! Emotions!

Sounds like X-men gone WOKE!

GO WOKE, GO BROKE, X-MEN!!!!

It's said that Age of Apocalypse actually came out of the idea from the episodes "One Man's Worth" (which again are worth rewatching to tie into this series). I always thought it was the other way around, that One Man's Worth was like a budget adaptation of AoA, but because of how long animation takes, the cartoon just happened to come out after the crossover. Bob Harras was actually inspired by their idea that Xavier's death would cause this alternate future.

I was thinking Krakoa, though this arc basically covered parts of both Morrison's New X-men and parts of Krakoa, as well as taking the "Cyclops was Right" and adapting it. I thought surely that was where they were going after Cyclops and then Beast bristled at the model minority stuff and tolerance.

Story has gotten really interesting. I'm glad this show has more than met my expectations

story

Thank you. I will continue to do my best, and thank you for your support.

I think so far Nightcrawler is really stealing the show. Loved the eulogy for and the fight with him and Wolverine vs. the prime sentinels was awesome. Showing how someone experiences his teleportation was a nice touch

fujishig

I dunno, Rogue has had her moments, including a moveset right out of Marvel vs. Capcom.

tanman

I'm really worried about the theory about Rogue

actionjackson29

Did we ever find out what DeMayo did? I hope it wasn’t too awful and maybe he could get rehired like Gunn. Anyway, this show will be a tough act to follow for whoever does the live action movies.

candyrocket786

Holy Shit....Holy Shit.....

Deftones

They are not pulling any punches and it is pretty awesome.

candyrocket786

The live action films won't even come close to what they're doing with Xmen ' 97.

It's a fool's errand at this point.

Why So Blu?

Wow, they pulled from like 4-5 different story arcs for this one episode. Was insane!

fujishig

I was wondering the whole time "why the hell would you send Wolverine on the team against Magneto" but I guess plot reasons it is. Now how far do they go with this... does Wolverine eventually lose his nose?

Also screw you Xavier, Magneto is right. In the beginning I felt like I missed an episode where Magneto saved all of them from a freaking legion of sentinels and then they somehow neutralized the sentinel threat and decided to focus on Magneto. Does Magneto even know the Earth is dying? It's not like in the next few hours he recruited every mutant he could to save them.

On a side note, thanks for ensuring the world is destroyed, Wolverine. Great job. Glad we brought you.

But otherwise, just inject this series into my veins.

candyrocket786

I'm guessing Xavier will complete the process to fully hijack Magneto and save the Earth.

fujishig

Right, they have to resolve this somehow, but he's going for the throat from the beginning (which is why Rogue stops him initially)

Kdogg

He's written the first two season so we have at least one more to look forward too. The way he's ripping through story lines they might not have anything left by the end of season two. They could have even used him for the movie division. Surprised that nothing has leaked about why they fired him.

candyrocket786

Maybe his overall vision for the series was different from what Disney/ Marvel had planned or their plans for live-action.

Also , the approach to characters/ cameos is quite different from the WBs Bat- Embargo during the JL/ JLU series. It seems nothing is off-limts with '97 despite whatever impact it could have on the MCU.

tanman

I don't know. I still have faith (as misplaced as that may be) that they know what they're doing and that the events of '97 will be central to this phase of the MCU. Even What If was really central and introduced a lot of concepts that carried on throughout the MCU so I think they know that they are doing. I think connecting the disparate properties has never been their weak-point. In fact the argument is usually that they focus too much on the connectivity and lose the movie itself because of it. So I still think '97 will be pivotal going forward.
