Storm took a breath before she entered that machine. She braved her claustrophobia.
I completely missed that! GOOD CATCH 😊
I loved that attention to detail this show takes!
It should be noted that the Adult Jubilee is voiced by The OG Voice Actress so it's nice having them talk to The New Voice / Younger Jubilee in that Scene ✨
And the voice actor for Older Jubilee, Alyson Court, was the voice director for Scott Pilgrim Takes Off. Which is appropriate considering that show, like this episode, is a love letter to video games.
To me, my Jubilee!
That's an awesome detail to know
@@ffreedomg i love that so much
Look!
I freaking love this show! Also how adorable was it when Hector was like "Pretty sure that's Abby! Thats my girlfriend!"
Congrats to her
For those who do not know about Abby Trott (Spiral), here are some her roles:
Tae Takemi from Persona 5 Royal
Nezuko from Demon Slayer
Singer of the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate theme
Young Chiyoko from Millenium Actress
Yoh from Shaman King remake
And many more!
Hector's cheesy happy and proud grin when Spiral started talking and it clicked it was Abby was 100% my favourite part of this.
I’m a recent new watcher of these guys, and I am a recent fan of X-Men too. I might sound silly, but is he talking about how the VA is actually his GF?
@@Tenshii_Artii Yep
@@Reece_Hart Damn. I mean, I just had to ask just to confirm it. Thats awesome, congrats on his GF for real.
Yo I had NO idea Hector’s gf was Abby Trott. That’s dope! And congrats to her on this role, she killed it
that so crazy! she was really amazing in the netflix show super crooks.
I'm new to this channel and had no idea either, so I just assumed it was the same as when people jokingly refer to their celebrity crush as their future wife/husband or whatever
Doctor Legs?!?
Also a culturally competent touch having Forge's foe, the adversary, take the form of the owl... I thought that them seeing an owl fly around in broad day could be a bad omen... It had me wondering if the show's writers knew that many indigenous tribes see looking at owls, and especially into an owl's eyes, as bad luck; it was... And it looks like they knew!
This is cool I watched Reservation Dogs and I remember that they always censored Owls
The owl is hidden in the background while Storm and Forge are having dinner and riding the horses, so CREEPY!
The Adversary is scary!
When mojo says Dazzler was busy maybe he meant doing Deadpool 3 stuff😂
I think that was more of a reference to Dazzler being one the playable characters in the old x-men arcade game. Also, Dazzler use to date Longshot, so it could be referencing that as well.
She probably was headlining a concert...
@@onyx081 Also Dazzler (or someone who looks a lot like her) appeared in the original Mojovision episode of the 90s show as part of Longshot's makeup team, even though that doesn't make any sense with her later appearances, so it could be referencing that
LMAO that scoff is was Hector hears when he forgets to take out the garbage.
Even Mojo got ahold of ozempic 😅😂
Ozempyc girlie 😂😂😂
Mozempic*
Tron, Contra, Final Fight, Nintendo. Sega, Sonic, Streets of Rage. All favorites of my childhood. And the OG voice actress for Storm is fantastic.
“A scientist in Scotland…”
Moira MacTaggert?
Another possibility was that scientist Mystique replaced at Season 1. A dude named Dr. Adler.
Old Jubilee voice actor is from the original series Jubilee.😅
The amount of happiness and the big smile Hector had when Abby’s voice came up is why I still believe in love 😂😂😂
This show makes me nostalgic for a time I NEVER witnessed.
Damn, congrats to Abby and Hector, thats badass she got to voice an underrated character like Spiral
Congrats to Abby! And Happy Bday Agustin!
8:00 Half expected a ''Xmen! Welcome to Die!" from the old 4 player arcade game.
I was half-expecting "I AM MAGNETO! MASTER OF MAGNET!" or "X-CHICKEN!"
I did too! “Master of Magnet!”
I was *fully* expecting it haha
Does anyone who reads the comics back the day had a smile on their face when a mad jubilee impersonates Magneto the way Kitty impersonates Professor X calling him a jerk.
A major villain was just teased on Forge's wall. He had his arm over Forge's shoulder but his face was covered!
Yo, this is basically an issue of Marvel Comics Presents, back when they would have like 2-4 8 page stories in each issue. I can’t wait to see what they try next. I just wanted to hear Magneto say “I am Magneto, master of magnet!!” or “X-Men, welcome to die!!”
Everyone had the same reaction when the ep was over! lmaoooo whew we are eating good!
The Marvel Vs Capcom 1 and 2 style animation made me feel like I was a kid again in the 90’s. I hope Capcom makes a new MVC game someday, and have an option to use this animation style! And have Jubilee be this awesome in the game.
Part 1 of Lifedeath was a teaser. Part 2 is gonna be a full episode. Can't wait.
I love the ending of this episode, it brings me back to the 90s and you either saw the episode or had to wait for a rerun. Waiting a week is too much for this soft generation, you have no idea what it was like to have a season end on a cliffhanger and have to wait a whole year to finish the story
Well, I'm just finding out that Hector's GF is the freakin' VA Abby Trott!
And Alyson Court pretyy much sounds exactly the same 30 years after being Jubilee and the OG Claire Redfield.
This was another great episode! I loved seeing the beginning of the "LifeDeath" story for Strom and I can't wait for part 2 of this mini-arc! I can already tell this emotional character exploration of Storm is going to be one of my favorite mini arcs in the entire X-Men animated series franchise by the time part 2 completes the story. The "Motendo" stuff was also super fun and creative! Revisiting some of the greatest highlights from this iteration of the X-Men in 16-Bit from like an old X-Men arcade game spotlighting their greatest moments was super cool and fun! I also loved having a Jubilee episode because she's one of my personal favorite members of the X-Men! Having it be her birthday was also a really nice way to explore how far she's come since episode 1 of the original series! I'm also really starting to warm up to Roberto. It's been nice to see the world of the X-Men through his eyes as a newcomer to this family. 👀🎆 Overall, X-Men 97 continues to be my favorite thing Marvel has made on Disney Plus! 8/10 episode this week! 🙌🏽🌟✨️
I love all of the very subtle nods to the X-Men arcade game
Notably, the X-men arcade cabinet their referring to was based-off the original X-men animated cartoon pilot (not picked-up) from the 80s called Pryde of the X-men; I believe, was a major reason it was released coincidentally with the start of the new, picked-up, X-men animated cartoon!
After the 3 episode of high-octane action and drama, I appreciate the chill, fun, and "nerdstolgic" change for a mostly Jubilee episode. I wanted more of Lifedeath though, lol. Based on the episode list were ramping right back up in episode 5.
The X-Men arcade game is actually based on the animated pilot for X-Men called Pryde of the X-Men. they also make a reference to the fact Dazzler is in it. Was hoping to hear Magneto say "Welcome to DIE!"
Its been said before but cant be said enough, the Writting on this show is awesome. Especially when your voice cast are seasoned vets who know their characters
Also old jubilee is from wolverine (vol 1) 53. Called mojos crunch.
So his character is supposed to be native adjacent I assume with a mention of Bison chili and the moment he said it was herbs in the chili I knew she was going to take a psychedelic trip of self-discovery and anything after that was the trip lol so I wasn't shocked when a giant owl came
"The Adversary" was an entire storyline, the climax of which Storm gets her powers back and reunites with the team to destroy him. That starts a whole new era of the X-Men, the first story introducing Jubilee.
In general, it has been a very well-run episode to enter the jubilee. Because she has not been so recognized and in this episode she gave us the best that a character shows if she handles it and writes it with a lot of genius and heart. And Roberto and his race, I would love for them to continue seeing each other even more.
And giving this guidance to continue with the classic comics stories. With storm it makes you feel reliving the time of the arc that we would see and it makes me happy, because I like storm. And when he went to start a relationship with his self-discovery.
If they follow thru with the Adversary storyline, we get "Fall of the Mutants" storyline. Outback here we come!
Loved the nod to X-Factor on Forge's wall! And so cool to hear Abby as well!!
Forge spiked the bison stew. "Let the spices work their magic indeed." Poor Ororo ended this cliffhanger tripping balls...
Oh damn that never crossed my mind, do you think forge really drugged storm??
10:16 19:05 I *love* when movies/ shows come up with creative uses for powers.
It's so interesting hearing y'all talk about how much y'all HATE Mojo when I've seen a decent amount of people say they love those episodes haha
Yeah, it caught me off guard. One of my criticisms towards the OG series is that we needed more eccentric villains like Mojo. Season 2 is my favorite season partly because of Mojo's episode, along with "A Rogue's Tale" and many others.
The X Men 92 Arcade was influenced heavily by the X Men 89 Pyrde of the X Men Cartoon. Funny enough that this episode clearly took influences heavily from both the arcade game and the Sega Genesis 93 X Men game which was influenced by the 92 show. Very Meta. Also mature cyber punk Jubilee rocks. Take note Marvel Comics!
The arcade game was based on an earlier animated X-Men movie, which featured Cyclops, Storm, Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Colousus, Dazzler and Kitty Pride (the first six characters were playable). Spent a fortune on that game and the Doctor Who pinball machine at TimeZone.
The arcade cabinet was started as a tie-in to "Pryde of the Xmen." Even though the show didn't get more than the pilot, they kept making the game
Everyone seems to be so confused by this episode having two different storylines in halves, but I don't understand why. It's how virtually all shows work, an A Plot and a B Plot, interspersed. Only instead of doing the usual A/B/A/B seperation, they kept each element intact to eliminate tonal whiplash.
For those who do not know about Abby Trott (Spiral), here are some her roles:
Tae Takemi from Persona 5 Royal
Nezuko from Demon Slayer
Singer of the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate theme
Young Chiyoko from Millenium Actress
Yoh from Shaman King remake
And many more!
Hector, x-men: the art and making of the animated series book confirms that Jubilee was 13 at the start of the series, Night of the sentinels, and in season 3 episode longshot, Jubilee slips up and confirms she is 15 years old by that point. It's the reason why Rogue can directly relate to Jubilee cuz she discovered her powers at that same age after she kissed cody.
the Adversary is one of my favorite deep cut X-Villains
Jubilee was 15 for an unspecified amount of time in the original series. She specifically said she was 15 in the third season, so 18 tracks.
Its the adversary not the shadow king.
And he's usually depicted as a demonic looking chieftain.
Incredible Hector!!!! Been watching your appearances since you popped-up on Collider Heroes with Schnepp (RIP our King of Sweaties); so amazingly hyped and astounded that your partner and girlfriend is performing Spiral!!! Great character and her performance in this episode was seamless!!! She sounded and expressed even better than Spiral’s originals appearances; More Spiral!!!!! Fingers crossed!
Best moment of laughter at 8:45. I just subscribed to this wonderful growing UA-cam channel. By far this episode is the best one I have seen. I’ll try to watch X-Men ‘97 sometime soon. Either way, congrats🎉
That love triangle is how you say Spi-cyyyyyy
Jubilee sure got her birthday present 😉(XD I’m wild for that.)
That was probably the coolest I've ever seen Jubilee
My biggest complaint with this episode is they had the perfect chance to put in the "Welcome to die" line and they didn't do it. I was so hoping for it when I saw this was a big X-Men Arcade reference.
Or Master of Magnet lol
Not a big deal. Get over it
@@moondevell Sht up.
I remember Jubilee in the original series lying to Longshot that she was 17 when she first said she was 15.
I don’t see jubilee want to be “headmaster” but a person trying to show control over her powers and wanting to protector of young mutants as a “Superpowered super Hero “.
In the game, Magneto should have said, "Welcome to die!"
Congrats to Abby! This show is not missing a beat, I'm so excited for what is coming next!
Another dope detail, the game in the Motendo was the X-Men game on Genesis, i have the poster still 😂
when magneto sez that he is the one giving orders... the title card under his face was Executive Producer Kevin Feige
Congratulations to your girlfriend, Hector! She was awesome!!!🤩
I loved the use of video games as a reality simulator tool to help you mature
From an interesting perspective, I like How they adapt from a gamer point of view. Mojo universe of gamer is like real life god pro gamer or something. Or Kang the Conqueror and the multiverse or Phanos in the infinity war. My two cents lol
Ngl, this episode reminded me of S3E6 from Kim Possible ("Dimension Twist") where they all got sucked into the TV lol.
It also reminds me of Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle ofc.
The X-Men arcade game was based on the failed X-Men pilot episode, "Pryde of the X-Men". It's on youtube...
And now she is being taught that being a “SuperHero” is no “Game”.
When the "game" scenes were shown and it looked like the old Simpsons and X-Men arcade games....I split a wide, cheesy grin. I love this show. Also, pretty sure the cartridge art for the 'Motendo' game is the same box art for the SNES game 'X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse'.
I was sad. Excaliber worked WONDERS with the Mojoverse.... All the tragedy of that universe, where all the people are genetically bred to be consumers. Nobody else ever hits the mark. And the Wolvy/Jubilee plot in the comics, in the mall with the Reavers? SOLID GOLD. Why does she always just turn into Boom-Boom in the cartoon? Video game 16 bit segment was great tho. And her and Sunspot are good together.
I thougth for a moment it was going to be shadow king too
7:22 Oh that's cool
Episode 5 is called Remember It.
Mojo was meta GOLD 😂
Sometimes riding horses is riding horses, and sometimes it's a metaphor for other riding
Great reaction as always!
❤ Talk about sparks flying! This was such a creative episode, I really appreciated it.
Remember though that Spiral was a member of that squad that had Mystique, Pyro, Avalanche, Blob and Destiny called the Freedom Force. Not sure if the timeline as I’ve not rewatched the old X-Men TAS episodes. But she may become their teleporter if she comes to earth
I'm loving the continuation of the series so far. I wonder in this new day and age, if this show will somehow align with a certain multiverse problem. I'd lose it if the Wolverine in Deadpool 3 is the X-Men 97 variant, if Deadpool is the multiverse Jesus? Then Hugh Jackman playing Wolverine from this Universe is at his table lol
Great to see you guys, a fan from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
Disney+ Marvel shows usually release soundtracks on their VEVO channel

Happy birthday Agustín! 🎉🎆🎇
I am with you all. Iwas a adult when the original animated series came out, and hated Mojo. This episode handled it well.
I love how we get two eps. in with this one.
That's why life death is added in the title. So people don't st8 up skip this episode. And Happy shared birthday Agustin
Who's skipping episodes???
I was about to if it was 30 min of mojo
@@danny5551000 you woulda missed out!
Hence why I'm so glad they added life death pt1 to it lol
I wish the entire episode was just Motendo. Mojo is by far my favorite villain from the og series, and Jubilee and Roberto remain the highlight of X-Men '97.
1. No lie, this was a total mixed bag of an episode.
2. Happy for Hector. I'm sure he was lit like a Christmas tree hearing his lady as Spiral.
3. If y'all don't know, the original Jubilee from the original animated series came back as the older Jubilee.
Imagine if they remade the old series with this animation.
So, at some point “ Rogue and Magneto” have a child named “ Joseph” and at some point Electra and a robot become the “ nanny” is this the start point to the age of apocalypse story line.
the return of your favorite character
I want the Rise of Jubilee game for my ps5!!!! They did too well!!
Hector said “Son of a bitch” like Jerry Seinfeld
I’m I’m almost pretty sure but the 16 bit jubilee fighting in the game is very reminiscent of how the original Xbox video game was when I played it in the arcade which is quite the mash to arcade games in the day
I was hoping for a "I am Magneto, master of magnet!"
OMG really that's your GF seeing Hector proud and happy for her So cute
THANKS for this!!!! The next Mojo ep should make gentle fun of the X-Movies :)
i agree: they are two short. i would sacrifice jubilee's story (the segment i enjoyed the most in this ep) for a full life death part 1. could have had both if they did with lifedeath what they did with inferno: everything in one ep. just make it a longer 45min ep! heck make the whole series 45-60 minutes and 12-13 eps a season
I'm happy Jubillee got her level up
It is a callback to the xmen arcade game some of its identical
Hey guys, I am curious on your opinion on something which always plagues me and a lot and some of the shows I usually watch anime shows I watch do you feel that the X-Men should kind of be a little more explicit on the time jumps between episodes because for example, death part one compared to the episode before in my opinion, it is a long time like it wasn’t like maybe a week or so. It had to be a long time only because of the back-and-forth between Forge and rogue like it it like it just didn’t just happened especially with some of the things he had built to try to help roguecause I know comics or in particular animation they usually don’t give you like a clearcut like how long it’s hard to do how actually long things have been going on. Just curious if anybody likes to make a comment to like help me out with it that would be great.
All I am going to let you guys know, and in respect to Hector is adversary is a forge villain, and that’s it
Why'd the audio cut out for a second right at the end?
Where?
@@HeroesReforged around 14:40. Should’ve specified I meant the end of the reaction not the discussion
@@redgyrados2000 Oh, weird. Didn't notice that.
