HIRE PEOPLE WHO LIKE THE SOURCE MATERIAL MAN :(
Too bad they're not learning. Apparently Fiege specifically turned down xmen 97 writer in favor of Assasins Creed writer for the new xmen movie.
Right,NO subversion of fan expectation’s directors.
that's asking TOO MUCH of Marvel
I think people who know how to make a good movie should come first. Sorry. Lol
@@1934jackson Wait you're telling me you DIDN'T love when Luke threw his father's lightsaber away after that cliffhanger that lasted years?
They better do their homework because XMen 97 really set the bar way up there.
It really did!
by up there you mean a smidge about MID?i have ratings on my side. :D
@@SourBogBubble Ratings aren't always an accurate indicator of how much a production is loved especially by fans.
Just look at the Super Mario Brothers Movie. Loved by fans with a very high audience score, panned by Film Critics.
@@SourBogBubble It has a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes as of yesterday. The highest out of any MCU and adjacent productions.
@@_Just_Another_Guy i said ratings, not something that can easily be manipulated, aka RT scores
Remember when the writers and directors of Thor: love and thunder and Secret invasion were told not to read the source material? ‘Nuff, said.
In “Defense” of Thor: Love and Thunder. Did it really have a script for writers to screw up? It looked like a weird improve experiment.🤷🏾♂️
@@kennethsmith6367 I’m a fan of making a movie when you have a story to tell. That’s something corporatism in filmmaking lacks; rather than a story to tell make for consumption. From beginning to end you can tell that there was a story to tell in the first season of xmen 97 (comic references are just icing on the cake).
Thank you for acknowledging that woke was from the black community. It’s a compliment not derogatory whatsoever. The show proves you can be woke and successful!
just read an article stating that Fiege refused to hire Xmen 97 writers for the new Xmen movie coming soon. Instead he apparently hired the writer for Assasins Creed, and honestly until I read this article I forgot about that movie entirely.
Ooof that film was not great and really didn't stick close to that material and yeah I know AC lore is absolutely nuts
As an avid videogame industry enthusiast, I gotta say that the Assassin's Creed movie was *forgettable* at minimum and downright *insulting* at most.
That Assassin's Creed movie was a grave slap in the face to Assassin's Creed players and fans of it's lore. It was basically a whole other production dressed up in only the costume trimmings of Assassin's Creed.
I do not have high hopes for a comics-accurate X-men film after seeing who Feige has hired as writers for this show...
@_Just_Another_Guy Yeah if they aren't willing to respect Assassin Creeds Lore which isn't that much then there's no way he's going to respect X-Mens long history of Lore. Maybe they'll do the bare minimum like comic book accurate costumes but that's probably it
I’ve never understood the “hire the X-men 97 writers.” Why would you want to rip those writers away from that show. Let them keep cooking on that show
I reserve the right to get upset, until I find out if they are lifelong X-Men fan’s. If so I’ll wait and see.
If Marvel messes up the X-Men, Feige would have no choice but to step down or be fired.
The X-Men was always one of Feige's favorite IP's. It's why he didn't immediately start scheduling movies that were based on X-Men or the mutants. By the way, let's not ignore his achievements.
@@crimsonghoul8983 It didn't help that Fox Studios held ALL of the movie rights to the X-Men when Feige and company were trying to get the MCU off the ground.
Ya screw that guy who gave us the infinity saga and made Disney billions of dollars.
@@aquilesabnerOkay. So let him give us flops till the end of time, right?
@@richierich7229 At least i wouldn't recommend outright firing him.
I always enjoy the moments where Grace has mini epiphanies while delivering her content. She isn’t just reading her own words, she’s thinking things through as she goes and occasionally travels down roads even she didn’t expect. As an adjunct college instructor, I can relate, and it’s fun to see play out in your videos.
It’s always those flashes of insight that resonate
When you mentioned omega level mutant moments, I immediately remembered how I felt in the theater when Wanda took on Thanos in End Game. 😱🙌🏻🙌🏻
All i want is short Wolverine & dark skinned Storm
Wolverine being short isn’t as crucial for me and storm has been colored lighted and dark but I wouldn’t mind a dark skin storm to give the ppl what they been asking for. However it doesn’t stop with looks I need the actors to be the characters as well
@@mo6live thank you for pointing out her multiple skin tones. But she was more akin to a peanut brown where now, she's only colored with darker a tone after BLM
@@KohlKovetshe was a peanut brown bc artist back then were scared to put her too dark for sales. saying blm changed that just bc people are way more accepting of a black hero nowadays is weird. she comes from a line of africans and two fully black parents mind u.
Anna Diop is RIGHT THERE
🤡🤡
I appreciate you dropping this on a Wednesday. I've been having X-Men 97 withdrawal
I want Storm, Cyclops, Jean, Rogue, Gambit, Beast. Maybe Iceman or Kitty Pryde
Grace, I have said it for years: you are, hands down, the BEST film biz journalist out there! Boom, baby!
What a nice thing to say - I'm honored you feel that way, Anthony!
That was nice too say I love her content too
I second this :) Been following for years and years and she never disappoints!
I hope that the live action MCU X-men will have the level of depth and nuance that X-men 97 had for the important topics they touch on
i’m so scared of them not doing the original iconic team and trying to do something new
I was a casual fan of the X-Men before X-Men 97. Now I LOVE the X-Men. I get why diehard fans love them so much.
Biggest takeaway: stick to the damn source material!!! Of course, you can adapt things (this show took the most impactful stuff from like a dozen different storylines), but keep it true to the characters and tone of the comics!
X Men is a prestige genre soap opera drama.
The blueprint is Game of Thrones.
A large ensemble cast of complex characters.
Explores controversial topics and not afraid to "go there".
Landmark WTF OMG moments (Red Wedding etc).
Anyone can die (Eddard Stark).
Heartbreaking sacrifices (Hodor).
The X Men can be a 6 to 8 movie series released over a 10 year span.
That’s why they needed to hire a cat from an earlier season of GoT or someone’s from Succession! At least someone who understands that kind of ensemble cast (and who’s a fan of the comics)! Nope, we got the writer of the shitty Hunger Games prequel and the utter dreck of the Assassin’s Creed movie!
Bring in fans who will treat these characters with respect
I'm a part of the broader audience and i LOVED xmen 97!!!
Same! Not really an X-Men fan before this. I thought their powers were cool, but that’s about it. But now I’m on board!!! I particularly love Storm and Jean Grey!!!
@@TheMusicalLawyer Sadly, that's essentially how I've always felt about the X-Men, even when they were coming off of their '90s high: cool powers and costumes, but...that's about it. Story-wise, I've never particularly cared about them and even now I don't obsess over them like the rabid X-fans do. That said, '97 was beautifully animated and it captured why the X-Men are so appealing to a lot of people: flashy powers interspersed with cheesy interpersonal drama and the typical mutant vs. human stuff...oh and of course, ultra-powerful badass women.
@@SpiderGuy325 Yeah! I like the low-stakes but meaningful conversations. It feels close to real life? Lots of existential issues bombarding us all the time but we have to deal with the mess that’s right in front of us, while trying to support each other. In other words, it deals with a lot of heady issues without being pretentious. I love that!
I like the male characters too! Nightcrawler and Magneto were both awesome. And I almost never like villains-I’m a classic “goody two shoes” type-but Magneto was awesome!
X men animated series did well with the balance ppl seem to forget it wasn’t the wolverine show
Growing up with X-Men as a kid in the 90's, I thought this show was fantastic
Idk why but your breakdown of the x-men history and what it represents really moved me. Really great breakdown 🙂
What a beautiful breakdown, Grace.i think i was little teared up when you said what X-Men means to people with standing together in the face of adversity
Your MCU videos will always have a special place in my heart 💖
The way you iron out important points of what X-Men is all about at 6:35 make you sound like Professor X himself
X-Men is a premier Marvel brand. This should be a blockbuster movie with a $200+ million budget.
For Storms powers alone, it’s going to cost
As a longtime fanboy of the X-Men, reading the comics since 1979 (!), I couldn't agree more with you Grace of what we want from live action! I really hope Kevin Feige or someone from Marvel watches your streams and reads our comments!
And negasonic in Deadpool had an amazing yellow custom
I thought this show was great for ALL fans of X Men. It had the deep dives for the comic fans and delivered enough for the casual fans to completely understand.
16:50 That's actually a fantastic point about the budget, I didn't think about that risk until you mentioned it. Also, great list, I agree! Hopefully they get some of the people who worked on X-Men 97 to help with the film, like 97's showrunner.
I had those cards. My nephew stole them. :(
I feel like Disney needs to apologize and break bread with Beau DeMayo and bring him back to the fold. Not only for the animation series but perhaps even to have some hand in the live-action movie, in some capacity. This man truly reinvigorated Marvel in a way that has not been done in a long time and collectively brought the X-Men and Marvel fans alike back to glory.
Heard this man is hard to work with😢
@@jianyuyj2016 oh? Wow
The perfect blueprint for the X-men live action is X-men evolution. That show hit a really good balance of everything.
The MCU X-men films NEED to have the level of writing and perfectly constructed dialogue that ‘97 had. A lot of those lines can be applied to many minority groups and resonates with many of today’s topics/headlines/events.
I'm absolutely amazed with this video. I've been watching you for years now and this video-essay is extrelemy well done, I would be showing your video to the whole production of live-action X-Men movie.
Good job Grace!
I really enjoyed this video !! Gushing about the X-Men and the excitement is so fun !
This is very cool Grace!! These are like mini film school classes
I thought this show did a great job of incorporating small, but poignant character moments in between the action. Like Jean and Storm’s heart to heart in episode 9, before Storm jumps outa the jet. You don’t need a completely extra scene to play with character dynamics-just find ways to integrate those more emotional moments into the ongoing plot and missions.
If the MCU X-men doesn't pan out, the closest we got to it's comics-accurate (Earth-616) depiction would only consist of Patrick Stewart as Xavier, Ian McKellen as Magneto, Stefan Kapicic as Colossus & Josh Brolin as Cable from Deadpool 2, and Olivia Munn as Psylocke from X-men Apocalypse.
That's all the comics-accurate X-men in all of the films.
Very astute and intelligent analysis Grace. You come across as a true fan of The X-Men.
I loved Xmen 97!!!! Can’t wait for season 2 after seeing that cliffhanger ending!!!!!
Awesome essay video of the xmen 97 Grace! ❤❤❤
I buy at least 2 X-Men comic titles every week, and then I pass them on to my niece and nephew and other families. Gotta teach the new generations about X-Men!
Grace u forgot gambit for a character with top tier moments. Always liked gambit and thought he was cool but now he is my favorite X-men and one of my favorite superheroes
His death was extremely well done, but he didn't have any amazing action moments in my opinion.
That’s fair but those scenes in genosha right before the sentinel killed him will forever be seared in my brain.
i can’t for for storm!!! omg
Adapting the panels is called anime lol. This and invincible are basically American anime’s!
I think maybe the reason why x men 97 didn’t have high ratings , because it was a continuation Of a series from The 90s. The Only ones that were invested in the series was people that saw the original series.
Thanks for sharing Grace 😁🍿🎥
Looking forward to seeing more X-Men...in any form 🤩
Thanks for the breakdown Grace ❤
The ONLY takeaway is ADAPT THE COMICS! The comics are literally your cheat code, you already have an audience, you already have the perfect narrative, you have the characters, the costumes, the twist, literally all you need is in a fucking comic books..USE IT!
Great Stuff, as always!
Thank you for the heart!
Thank you for your comments Grace
I know you have a lot of stuff coming up, but can you rank your favorite X-Men 97 episodes?
"What do they call u, Wheels?" 😄
Great video, you are the reason I decided to read X-men comics and then I fell in love with these characters!
Fantastic and insightful list!
Such a great analysis, thank you! Watched it again, last part is so true, X-Men have a lot of fun, but also it's emotional when something hits. Hopefully, they cast unknown and younger actors, the OG X-Men are basically young adults.
Eureka! Grace. Totally agree. Trading card style action. Yes, I want to see the over top cyclops beams of heat.
Really great insights as always Grace :)
Grace! Everything you’ve described about X-men 97 is exactly what Young Justice Phantoms did! They dug even deeper into so many social and mental issues and how they factor into the superhero world.
Great video and breakdown!
I've never been an X-Men fan but I think you've sold me on it with your passion and analysis here. Queing up X-Men 97 as we speak.
Great video!
I was hoping to get a full video on this 😍
This is the video I was expecting 🎉😎👌
9min and 40 sec mark made me cry cause it does give me chills when I hear it!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ love the video grace
Great video Grace❤❤
I disagree as a 90s baby the xmen all leather definitely helped but. They could’ve included more color and when those movies came out we were not far from the 90s literally just got out of the 90s they could’ve definitely made colorful suits done right
Someone should send this video to Kevin feige!!!
That team is golden era material. Fantastic work!
The original X-Men tv show made Wolverine my favorite character because he was the best support with top leading moments.
Grace I respect that you listen. I wish more people would do the same.
Feige should hire Grace!
me who hasn’t watched the show or really interested in the x-mem corner of the marvel universe watching intently 😂
Grace you are spot on with this video!!!! I hope the team at Marvel shows this to Kevin.
im gonna say, i’ve been wanting to get into x-men since 2016 bc my geek friend told me that the movies didn’t make it justice and that I had to read the comics, but i didn’t even know where to start it was a mess 🥴 so I was like oh well there goes that.
Until I watched this show, and it made me FALL IN LOVE with the x-men, love how inclusive it is, how it’s not just a superhero action story but it actually develops the characters and they feel like real people (something the mcu has been missing lately) AMAZING this show was perfect
Also, I love how it touched and criticized or rather questioned the things that are happening nowadays, like grace said “straight from the headlines”!
I do think it's the animation factor that's keeping the viewcount good but not amazing. I do think at the end of the day it still hasn't quite caught up to mainstream audiences yet
Great Video, thank you :) Barbie and X-Men 97 are amazing
Well said Grace, well said.
I would argue gambit had the best trading card moment the scenes in genosha are forever seared in my brain and made him now my favorite xmen
I feel like the key to the social commentary of the X-Men is it needs to be general enough that ANY group can see themselves in the mutant metaphor. If it gets too specific into any one groups talking points then the metaphor crumbles. Like the Genosha scene could have been viewed by Palestinians or Israelis as an allegory for Oct 7th or the Gaza invasion and each group could relate to it.
Great video! More X-men videos please!!!!!
We need more movies that have the quality and storytelling of X-Men 97! Hopefully we get some fantastic writers and actors for the movies🙏🏻
we need maggot, cecilia, iceman, and psylocke as part of the main team
Iceman and psylocke yes as long as the team isn’t overcrowded. Maggot and Cecilia Reyes would be a hard sell main to main stream though because they aren’t well known. I would love to see Maggot in a small role show up though. I would think Gambit and Cyclops are much more important to get good versions of in a movie before going further into the well.
@@justincleary5249I agree, you'd probably need to go for more popular characters
Great Video,TY! I really hope they are listening? and understand 🤯🙏☮
If they can’t give me the action scenes up to the standard of X-men 97 then don’t waste the time, money, and film.
You would think Hollywood would get it by now that using your sources is key there are so many examples of what happens when you don't lol However X-Men 97 gave me all the feels from the opening theme song I felt like a kid again watching my cartoons with a snack 😂
BTW I already got my Deadpool Wolverine Tickets I'm so excited to go to the party opening weekend🥳
Would love an updated MCU X-Men fancast video now we've seen X-Men 97 and have an idea of how Feige is leaning towards introducing these characters to the MCU as a whole.
Hello, Grace. Terrance gets so excited watching you talk about X-Men, my face hurts from smiling so much. Sometimes in life, you gotta kick the feet up, have a nice tall glass of Lemonade (with four ice cubes), and watch a Grace video.
TERRANCE OUT
I see an Onslaught Story line where X-men team up with Fantastic Four and Avengers like in the 90s.
97' is perfect for animation but when it comes to movies it would have to add more meat. it would flesh out the stories more and enough to make us fall into the story and feel less like a rehash. One series would be 6+ movies. When it comes to humor, I think it needs just bold personalities and connections that allow fun and humor. Nothing like what the MCU is where the world is goofy but people are funny and have fun nd situations can be funny without being dumb. I think the drama or relationship would be ideal. we love the people who like each other and the deep relationships that exist in the IP
97 was outstanding. it is the first MCU i’ve watched in a couple years.
Thanks for your opinion Grace, I hope Marvel is paying attention to it. We need GOOD writers that know and understand the source material and as you said keep the spirit of the message alive in the movie and can translate to a bigger audience
Fantastic breakdown of why the X-Men is such a powerful and important franchise. ❤
They need to remaster the OG show in 4K for Disney+!
Grace, we need a video where you rank all of the live action X-MEN films
Honestly the success of making mcu comic accurate the discourse it creates amongst fans, is similar the success the Harry Potter movies experienced and then lost with fantastic beasts
Let’s doooo this!!!
I still can't get over that in 19 years and 10 movies, we didn't get to see Jubilee blow up a VCR at least! smh. I hope she gets her due with the new movie. She was brilliant in X-MEN '97!
I will forever maintain that Iron Man Extremis is a classic which was butchered by Shane Black. A few script tweaks and it could have been amazing. But there was no need for the Transformers ending we got. Anybody interested just look for the motion comic. Which may be available here on YT. They missedf a perfect opportunity to introduce Stark's nano tech if they had followed the story more faithfully.
Ultimately I would have swapped secondary and main villain as well. 😒
Genosha reminds me of Black Wall Street in Oklahoma.. the massacre that happened there.
