It's always so interesting watching characters that were important only for a hot minute in the 90's being immortalized in this series. Nowadays, nobody knows who Shard or Fitzroy is.
But thanks to his “Krakoan Age” glow-up, many fans know about Nimrod! ….. Still sad that because of Bishop’s high standards he never got a chance to Krakoan resurrect Shard and Fitzroy. In the Bishop’s War College mini, he reveals he wants to resurrect them _after_ he turns Krakoa into a paradise without enemies, something that may never happen even in its best timeline.
Growing up, I only heard the word "Nimrod" from bugs bunny. So, when this sentinel came, I wondered why they called it something like "idiot". Then years later I learned the truth.

Best marvel animated show. It had a ton of X-men characters and it was very well written. Like this episode, storm and wolverine are deeply in love and married in an alternate timeline and knowing fixing it will cause them not to be married. It tugged my heartstrings as a kid back then and even more so now. Great show. Second only to Batman tas as the best 90’s superhero series
I think Bishop should be given his own episodic action/comedy TV series. Each week, he'd go back in time and have a different adventure but always come back to a dystopian post-apocalyptic future. Nothing would need to be canonical, and all the episodes could be watched independently from one another. He could be placed in all sorts of situations from the absurd to the badass. He'd also have different guest stars every week.
"BACK AT'CHA LOW-LIFE!!!!" Bishop was SOOOOOO BADASSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! And freakin loved Shard and the AWESOME HAIR-CUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ugh!!!!! The 4 episode arcs Bishop had WERE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DISNEY DON'T EFFFF THIS UP!!!!!!!
I didn't realize Shard was Bishop's sister. So sad she died but he was tough AF to not even let it phase him (on the outside) and carry on to save her and his entire timeline from not happening.
It's pretty contrived how this correlates to Bastion's origins in X-Men '97. Nimrod was sent back in time to assassinate Charles Xavier while he was still in college so that a future where Sentinels ruled and mutants were being exterminated can exist. Nimrod fails due to the intervention of Wolverine, Storm, Bishop, and others from that same timeline, but unbeknownst to everyone, Nimrod leaves a part of itself that bonds to a janitor. The Janitor then impregnates a woman who would then have a son. Said son would fully bond with Nimrod's will and carry its preprogrammed mission of creating a future of Sentinel superiority.
@@HonestFred in the 80s, 90s his healing factor was not immortality... it took weeks for him to heal from an injury that might takes months for others but it didn't make him invincible
Nimrod was so op that whenever he existed that era will always be the end of mutant.... Who would win? First mutant, a living God, the end of all things. Vs Pink Robot toys that will never be broken.
in this show in the timeline 3999, it appears that Apocalypse controls all the robots and sentinels. So pretty sure Apocalypse is stronger than nimrod.
@@cypressz I think it would be a bit silly how nimrod is stronger than apocalypse, the first mutant with celestial tech. Nimrod is only a mere sentinel after all. But comics will make 1 character beat another character, just to hype it up. So bad writing is unfortunately common.
Wolverine and storm aren't from the future. They are from an altered present. By the time bishop went to get the xmens help the time line change already reached them. Both wolverine and storm are from a timeline with no xavier and magneto leading the resistance against the sentinels
Yeah, how they gonna make Morph look like some fake Chameleon from Spiderman? They really didn’t need to that. They have Northstar but they want the popular characters.😖
And now friggin Bastion is the main antagonist of S1 of Xmen 97!
And by extension, so is this incarnation of Nimrod! Feels good

X men rule

Wolverine.
Wait, really? I thought Shard was a really cool addition to XFactor.
These classics are still the best
look up "X-Men '97" because I can't link here
Man X-Men had the scariest most powerful villains
Literally the best cartoon series out.
I was disappointed when it was no longer airing Saturday mornings.
Well its coming back… APPARENTLY…

it's back, baby!!!
I’ve always wondering why Bishop was never playable in Marvel vs Capcom but Cable was and cable was badass

Which are now 😉
Bastion

What a fn nimrod
This wasn't a thing in the spanish version, when I found out I thought it was weird that Bugs refers to Elmer Fudd as a powerful hunter.
King Nimrod ruled in old testament times. He was the one leading the construction of the tower of babel.

Nimrod scared the crap out of me.
Who's here after Bastion reveal in X-Men 97?

Nimrod was frigtening in comics when he came out.
One of THE best story arcs!
These are timeless gems
I remember getting up super early on Saturday to catch x-men and spiderman the animated series
Same here. The 90s was the best.
Nimrod wasnt effing around. Lmao
Nope lmbo
NImrod kind of looks like a Scooby doo costumed menace, it's hard to take him seriously despite how powerful its supposed to be lol
Nimrod was no joke
Hopefully it’s stay like that when the new version come out.
@@masbells9793 Nimrod was destroyed in the original series tho
@@willthomas2310 they can use time travel logic, you only destroyed him the last time he jumped

Nimrod back on his ish in X-Men 97😓
It's nutty how many characters are in the X-Men universe. And yall wanna fit all that story telling into a 2hr film? 🤣🤣
This was so awesome. Bishop and Shard's future is already dark. But they come back to an even darker future. Amazing story.
Only Nimrod slices threw force fields like a medium size pizza 🍕🫤
I like the portrayal of Fitzroy in this series.

Hey that is the same BGM they played in the Spider-man crossover episode. Nice, not only the X-Men theme but this track too.
"Cause THIS time, we're not gunna mess up."
*Immediately messes up*

This was epic Af
Bishop had the best mullet of the 90's.
Glad to see her in Xmen97!
Nimrod was extremely overpowered in the animated series.
I feel as if the Sentinels in DOFP were based on him; they were too OP from the beginning of the movie.
0:54
Shard and Rogue were all-stars for a reason...🤣
Mohawk Storm!!
Why do some shot the animation look different , more like 92’ but some alike the last ep was a lot smoother looking
those blasts from Nimrod must be powerful

Nimrod stood out to me as a kid when i saw him. Maybe it was the name
Bishop be lookin like an angry black Toby Keith.
Looks like crasher from the gobots
We need Nimrod VS Doomslayer!
1:38:
"I am sorry, but you have much you will inform the Man-Machine Ascendancy."
I wonder if the sentinels from this aborted timeline, Nimrod and Master Mold particularly, have anything to do it with Bastion in X’97?
You was right
Why people always trying to save Wolverine when he has unlimited healing factor?
Wasnt so back then
Because in the 90s he wasnt written like some immortal god who cannot heal
@@eskanda3434 can you clarify? Your statement is a little contradictory.
@@HonestFred in the 80s, 90s his healing factor was not immortality... it took weeks for him to heal from an injury that might takes months for others but it didn't make him invincible
@@eskanda3434 thanks for clarifying. Makes sense. I read up on it and your right, they kept enhancing his power.
Nimrod is scary
Nimrod is the Boba Fett of this show
2:03
Oh yeah 😎, go, Bishop.
Nimrod is one their top enemies so he should take out X-Men sadly.
I hope the new series brings him back eventually.
They should have made Nimrod sound like Beavis 😂 because he says nimrod alot
Would love to have seen a Nimrod vs. The Fury matchup.
Nimrod is dangerous af and xmen tas is my favorite
And this episode aired before age of apocalypse started in the comics. I think it was like 1.5-2 years.
Damn Nimrod just killed them . That was ....
so i assume that fitzroy got killed in the future timeline as well ? even though he was only injured and could have escaped though.............
That should be like a short movie wolverine if you remember when he went to space spiral the six arm ninja samurai gladiator 😂
And we never saw him again. Surely. Nope. Not even a little bit.
0:50 Good thing she took that shot for the guy who can regenerate!
Not everyone knows that
@@ccutter2 I'll watch full episode and see. It's been so long.
Not me watching this on 5/11
I hated Shard got left behind
After learning that she was killed off in the comics three times over and hasn’t been back since, I’m even more pissed about this
Have you guys seen EMH (Earth's Mightiest Heroes) about the Avengers? It's even better than 90's X-Men
So those from days of future past are nimrod sentinels.
U know nimrod is mentioned in the bible. But n the bible he comes out with the four horseman
Hmmm....
Mohawk Storm Halle Berry
😁😁😁
Nimrod was so op that whenever he existed that era will always be the end of mutant....
Who would win?
First mutant, a living God, the end of all things.

Pink Robot toys that will never be broken.

In the comics Nimrod obliterated Apocalypse in his first appearance. In this case as the other commenter said he has control of them.

Nimrod was so scary because he was a silent killer like Michael Myers
Now he’s a psycho human hybrid racist, which is scarier.
@@Janovea Mutants aren't a metaphor for race. That's a myth started by woketurds.
This illustrates the real world of X-men history mixed with Stan's work. It's too bad that it's not going to happen like this again in 2024.
And you know this how?
@@Nocturne22 because it's 2024.

Dear Disney, PLEASE don’t drop the ball with X-Men ‘97!
I just realized Bishop looks a lot like Kanye West.

Huh?!

Wolverine had healing factor. Why did she even jump?
Bishop is from 80 years in the future, I understand why logan is there, but why Storm didnt age? is really her?

More hype then xmen 97. Better directed action scenes too.
Ummm nah i love the old show but the updated one has upped the ante
Now this is how the x-men 97 should’ve been.
All going to be ruined in a month or so
Yeah, how they gonna make Morph look like some fake Chameleon from Spiderman? They really didn’t need to that. They have Northstar but they want the popular characters.😖

People should stop comparing the old xmen with 97, 97 is boring slow n more boring
Shut up bozo,x men 97 is a good show and great Continuation of the old series,go watch Peppa pig,it's more to your liking
