Marvel Animation's X-Men '97

[Meddling-Monk]

Wow, that was quite the episode (5).

 

[taB]

Well, this is bloomin good.

Spoiler: This week's episode

they are bound to do a time travel reset somehow, considering Cable showed up, but maybe he doesn't manage to save everyone no matter how many times he tries to go back. I reckon we will lose one of the main cast by the end of the season anyway.

So many cameos this week it was hard to keep up.

Well, that was an joyful episode!

 

[Neil79]

Holy *** X-Men! Went from a nod to my child hood ace of base to utter carnage

 

[the shadow]

Had to watch the last one twice

 

[Netguy]

I remember watching the X-Men cartoon as a kid and dreaming of a live-action film, but then wanting the old-school cartoons back.

Episode 5 was a banger

 

[ChroniC]

Anyone else think this is a bit crap? I'm guessing not...
I didnt care for the whole clone story or trying to rehash a classic like Mojo with the most boring Xmen character ever Jubilee..

The last episode with Master Mold was good but up until then for me it's been pretty rubbish.


///edit..

I'm double down. This is crap, watched the latest episode, which Xavier teach the Shiar.. What a crock of ****

Who is that old geezer?

Yer, nostalgia isn't what it used to be. I've found this got boring pretty quickly for me too. Haven't bothered with the last couple of episodes.

I've seen every episode of the old series and he isn't in it! So a new big bad guy.

Edit: I've also never read any comics, so maybe he is a familiar foe from the X-Men comics.

Yep

Edit: last minute has some pretty major spoilers if they are following the comic route to an extent.

 

[Cyber-Mav]

enjoying this so far. its not kiddyfied like the original series was. way more adult focused with actual blood. really surprised marvel pulled this off.

2 episodes to go.

[Meddling-Monk]

Whoa!!!!!

Part 2. And I know what that leads towards...

 

[rp2000]

The storyline this season has been amazing. At some point I will rewatch the whole season back to back and I'm certain it will feel like a long X-Men movie, and easily be better than most of the Fox films!

I'm holding out a 1% chance that they link this series to the new Deadpool film. I see no storyline reason why the wolverine in that film couldn't be from the multiverse that X-Men 97 is set in. All the events we watch happen in 97 and Deadpool 3 is probably set in 2024. Entirely plausible that this universes X-Men all died and only wolverine is alive in 2024....

Spoiler: Spoiler Episode 9

Woah! More epic than the Genosha episode. Absolute brutality, plus a nice Hulk cameo. Next week's finale is going to have to be epic to beat this. So many great lines of dialogue as well, the below stuck out:

Jean: Make them mind your weather, sister."
Storm: "And make them weather your mind
