“What are demons but reflections of our fears and shame. Things we bury within us, hide from loved ones even as they poison our hearts… until we finally heal our adversary by embracing it”-Storm This writing is so GOOD! 😭🙏🏽
I just loved that Storm had her Sailor Moon moment and literally willed herself a "new" look. You can tell those animators were just living their inner Sailor Moon dreams with that whole sequence. Absolutely love this show ❤
Storm’s regeneration with that music gave me chills. Let the writers of this show oversee the mutants in live action. This is what you get when people that really care about the material.
I feel so bad for Charles. He spends the episode talking about the X-Men like their his children, and him sensing that Gambit died is basically him sensing that one of his children perished. Its no wonder he wants to go there asap.
You have to remember this was the professors first time using his psychic powers since he “died”, and when he did, his vast connection to the universe and every mutant (heightened by his frequent use of cerebro over the years) was restored once more, and he felt all the tragedy from Genosha hit him hard. Shout out to Storm and her resurgence….and the restoration of not only her mutant powers, but her OG X-men debut uniform. People need to remember she’s also mystical in nature too, separate from her mutant abilities (her blue eyes, white hair, and her ability to alter her uniform and hairstyle signs of her magical affinities). Her sequence reminded me of Man of Steel, when Superman first flew…awesomely done!
It was pretty heartbreaking and horrifying to have Charles feeling “the massive disturbance in the Force” the Genosha Holocaust caused… especially Gambit’s death… calling them all his “Children of the Atom”. I’m still shook from last week… I just can’t believe Gambit is gone. He’s my favorite X-Man, right next to Wolverine. Seriously, if I ever got dropped into an X-Men Universe, I would want Gambit as my mentor to train me on how to use my mutant powers. Also, now we know that Mr. Sinister is involved/responsible for the Genosha Holocaust. It’s very possible that Magneto survived it. If he did, he will very likely hunt down Trask… but if he finds out about Sinister… there will be extreme hell to pay. Especially since Magneto really hates Sinister for what he did to him, Charles, the rest of the X-Men and the people of the Savage Land in Season 2 of X-Men: TAS.
Fr though "They were dancing! Drinking wine!! Making love!!" They were safe, peace was in sight, freedom at their fingertips already being celebrated, and it was taken away so suddenly it's hard to breathe
It was great seeing Charles Xavier again. Class is in session baby lol. Storm ⛈️ is such a goddess. Omega Level Mutant detected. I love this freaking show. I loved the original series despite the limitations but 97 is peak awesomeness.
@@timothymoore6341 Sure, but he said it right before the attack on Genosha, which in the comics was perpetrated by Cassandra in the way we saw Mister Sinister act at the end of this episode.
No kidding. I went to 3 anime conventions this month and people are carrying and carting around all their boxed and 'protected' funko pops to get signed. Ugh.
Hector I totally forgot about onslaught. That’s probably why we saw caps shield in that recent X-men 97 teaser last week. The avengers and X-men have been known to mix it up with onslaught 🤯🤯🤯
I really hope they don't go there for season 2. I hated the Onslaught story so much I quit reading the X Men. The only time I came back was when I found out Joss was going to be writing Astonishing X Men, he was bringing Kitty back, and the title was not going to be crossing over into any of the other X books. Once Joss and Cassaday finished their run, that was it for me.
@@cruelangel8689 that’s fair. Tbh the storyline back in 90’s was a chore to get through for sure, but I think these writers will do something unique and different enough to get us hyped. I hope they tease onslaught and then he’s a season 2 big bad
This show is a spoil of riches! Love yall discussion on the recent CzechXicans. Storm soaring felt like seeing Superman or Iron Man flying for the 1st time.
@@microcelltechnicalassistence I don't remember them too well but think I read up to the mid 90s comics at some point and it's probably where I got this impression. I'm guessing there's some iluminati/greater good stuff later on
Magneto is alive because he had ERG and LEECH with him....ERG is the mutant with "Guile" hairstyle with one eye-patch, he can absorb energy blast and channel it back through his eye with the eye-patch at will. I'm guessing, Erg stood up and absorb the Wild Sentinel beam blast and Leech masked everyone from detection by remove all or just Magneto's powers. cross fingers.
Oh, I felt like Leech was important but didn't know why. I vaguely remember a storyline about a future gambit being a bad guy but I forget if the original show did that
I love that they brought back the 1970s goddess suit from when she first joined the X-Men. I love that suit so much. Storm always looked better in black anyway. The "say the quiet part out loud" did take me out of the episode because this is supposed to be 1997. That's too modern a phrase.
Crackpot theory: he wasn't the one who made Genosha happen, or even the one the x-men faced in episode 1. Sinister made clones of him, and had the clones do all the dirty work (since they can be controlled by Sinister). Think about the contrast between his appearance in episode 1 (which seemed a bit delusional/arrogant) vs this one (terrified, guilt ridden) which lines up more closely with where he was left off in X-Men TAS. And cloning is kinda Sinister's #1 party trick.
Mis Hermanos.....I'm so happy that Hector got to have some good time away, but I love All of You when You're together!!! And Hector, I'm right there with You! My heart is still torn the "eff" up since Episode 5!
Yep. I've been saying that for weeks. The reason Xavier would give everything to Magneto is if he left a "copy" of himself in Magneto's head. Then the stress from Genosha, boom, there's Onslaught. Now, I hope they give that the proper time to incubate, deal with Sinister this season, and make Onslaught next season.
gambit's skull was not realistic as the professor's in that vision. it looked like paint. that could be gambit's death horseman form. sinister will take his body and give it to apocalypse for him to ressurect him and turn him into death.
Hector just lit the spark 💥 Totally forgot about Onslaught 🤯 With the last 3 eps being a 3-parter named "Tolerance Is Extinction", Onslaught makes total sense ✅️ Can't wait to see Sinister succumb to that entity, forcing Apocalypse's hand 👍🏾👌🏾 #ThanksLordFeige #XMenForever #MakeMineMarvel
I'm just in awe on how the writing of this is so damn good I'm even watching the original show and my mind is still blown lol. Like X-men fans eating good this year! S2 im loving the whole Cable 2 parter i love now im on S3 the Phoniex saga is wild
Gambit and Xavier are nowhere near as close as Xavier and Magneto. Gambit is so guarded and busy keeping his secrets that it would be impossible to truly be close to him
I think people forget that information in the 90s was primarily through TV/radio. So totally unplugged from the rest of the world until you turn the TV on. Landlines and TV and radio.... that's all we had back then
17:15 Hector might have a point, that's why we got Cap. America's shield in a official preview, they're saving something big for this season's finale!! 🤔
charles not sensing Magneto dying meant he is alive.... Gambit is permanently dead according to the director of the series, because he wants it to be real that there are consequences to every action/decision made... he also stated that they have another character who is suppose to be dead instead of gambit but did not say who it is...
The biggest mystery of the show for me, isn’t who is behind the attacks, but why Disney even bother with the ‘skip intro’ button. Who in their right mind is gonna skip over the awesome theme tune 🎶🎶 Not in this house.
Her conjuring her new suit is like the one in the 90"s cartoons in the first episode when Jubilee was attacked by the Sentinels. I think she was able to do that because of her affinity to magic, that's my opinion though 😉
What if(Yes I Realize the Pun...) Sinister planned this whole thing and is using it to make Clone Magneto, the one who strips Wolverine of His Adamandium. Or as you say to make something worse like Apocolypse...
I Loved Vulcan!!! And how Xzavier had not made that a deal because in the comics he was in the “first Class” with sway, Darwin and some other characters but they all died the first mission. Also that it’s very interesting knowing he’s there because it show that the shaier are despots!
IIRC, Xavier had mentally linked himself with the X-Men in order to get reads on what happen to them. But he probably doesn't have the same link with Erik.
You may be right about Magneto and that is likely the outcome, but it could also be that he did die and that green blast that hit Charles (and turned him into a skeleton) was the same one that hit Magneto, representing his death. Either way we'll find out next week I suspect.
I agree with you and think there will be an Onslaught story line. Here's my question: Do you think it will be the 3 episode season finale ep 8-10? Maybe Onslaught happens because Magneto is seriously injured near death and deeply comatose. Xavier has to try and telepathically reach him and their mutual grief, guilt and rage cause the merging to happen. As I recall the original Onslaught saga took a while to unfold with Xavier slowly becoming corrupted over several issues. I might be wrong, haven't read that arc for a few years.
13:59 Sinister : Give me your DNA so i can access Master Mold ! Trask : What 4 ? Sinister : I want to fill it with poison Candy and collar all mutants who taste it Trask : Please kill me for what happened in Genosha Me : What the hell did you expect was gonna happen?
Another interesting theory is that it was nightcrawler the one who spoke in German and not magento 😮 it sounded like magneto but we never saw his mouth.
PURE SPECULATION, but I’m calling it… the Wolverine in Deadpool/Wolverine is the Animated Wolverine. What’s coming in the next few eps will lead into the film AND we’ll see Monica Rambeau show up before the Season Finale
The Leech theory doesn't track for me, because they were actively under assault so any lowering of Magneto's powers would have lowered the shield and blasted them even sooner before the Sentinel's scanners would detect an absence of mutants (assuming Leech's power even works by masking the X-gene rather than just muting its effect). That said, i DO think Magneto and some other mutants we saw "die" are still alive. With Sinister involved (tying it slightly into the Mutant Massacre in the comics), i think the overt and apparent genocide was also masking a mass abduction of mutants for experimentation. I really hope they don't do Onslaught, or if they do find a more satisfying way to pull it off than the disappointment of the comics... but then i felt the same way about Operation: Zero Tolerance and I've seen so many people online drooling for freaking Bastian to show up, so who the hell knows? I'd prefer Cassandra to either of them (and thought we might be getting her with the Shi'ar showing up in this episode, but alas the word "mummudrai" was never uttered!), but it really does seem like Sinister is taking her role in this (masterminding the destructuon of Genosha by coopting the DNA of a Trask to control the Wild Sentinels). Which will probably have more emotional resonance than suddenly introducing Xavier's evil twin when he's been absent for half thr season, lol!
I think with Moira on the council & Gambit gone, they're inching their way toward the Krakoa story, like the Genosha incident being the catalyst for the world's mutants to gather on Krakoa, and Gambit/Anyone else we lost will be revived by the 5. I'm going to be on the lookout for flowers in the finale.
