Everyone with cool titles in the intro
Cyclops:
“My eyes!”
Cyclops has the coolest one, shows his raw power
@@Mahongleri was talking about the fonts but yeah i his intro was cool
@@Mahongler His part is always just so RAW in general
Comic Sans 💀💀
You can't improve on perfection. I
think they made the right choice
Still would have preferred them to clash at the end instead of running into eachother and exploding
Two The Japanese intro might be better…
finally a franchise did the right thing , by not changing a thing ...bravo👍🏾👍🏾
@@trollzone1 The Japanese intro is 🔥🔥🔥
@@sceetsceet03 there are 2 intros and both are Japanese heavy metal. Maybe one is the intro and the other the end song.
Finally, a proper side to side comparison
I was waiting for this too
The other guys were too lazy
seriously, whats the point of a side by side if everything is in the wrong order.
Yes. The side by side made me notice how they redraw rogue slaming the sentinels tendril.
The shot of sunspot vs jubilee could have worked
@@SANT14GO the time they did the video opening there wasn't the sunspot version of it yet
00:54 thank god they fixed that awkward run. In the old one it looked like they are pedalling an imaginary bicycle and its too synced up that it felt uncany
well they are the Uncanny X-Men
Not until the next shot though. Cyclops looks like he's about to ride his X-bike
@@AMercenary...Withaheart thanks, I can't unsee it anymore...
On the other hand, at least it wasn't as noticeable because it was quick and they changed angles. Unlike on the villains side where it was upfront
Cyclops: Why does everyone else get a fancy font, and I get comic sans😭
The way they run at each other still makes me laugh.
It's waaaay to out of context (imagine Storm running in a fight instead of flying), but somehow, It feels good for a super heroes intro.
Still, I agree.
All that’s missing is the ‘In Stereo’ logo
Imagine they add in a “(In 4K)” as tribute?
oh god...
@@nicrome "( In Dolby Atmos )"
@@COFelipeTo me. MY DOLBY ATMOS 😊
And maybe not muting the sound effects..
Xavier and magneto in X men 97 have luscious lips
😂😂😂
That intro STILL gets my heart rate pumping!!! Love that the OG series is back on Disney+ too!!
I'd say the worst thing they did was removing the sound effects for magneto and xavier abilities faceoff at the end. The way the sounds of there powers just syncs and elevates the music as it reaches its peak is just way to good.
*X-Men 97* vs *Classic X-Men* theme difference
*Cons* of new Trailer
1. 0:20 - In the lightning effect, Storm has the shadow of cloud on her, while the new trailer doesn't add that. Which makes it less realistic and less epic.
2. 0:35 - Much better pose for Beast in old theme.
3. 0:56 - In the running shot, angle/perspective is better in old one.
*Pros*
1. 0:16 - Better drawn Wolverine
2. 0:18 - Better Rouge with color correction
3. 0:25 - Better jump , leg animation is dynamic
4. 0:31 - Better Gene design (inspired from X-Men evolution)
5. 0:35 - Beast jump is better. (impact shown on object)
6. 0:37 - Improved animation
Jean had her full hair untied in the actual X-men #1 comics. It was only in The Animated Series that she had it in a ponytail for easier animation.
Jean's outfit design is actually more faithful in X-men 97 to the Jim Lee comics.
1. New one has darker clouds which makes new one more epic.
2. Old pose is better? Watch slowly, he is weirdly rubbery
Pro 7: the guitar riff when gambit appears
Con 4. 0:55 - Villian switches from left of Lady Deathstrike to right of Emma Frost and the Juggernaut was scaled down, makes him look like he's in the distance.
Con 5. 0:04 - No close up of Scotts eyes through his visor.
0:02 another Storm's haircut
Update with Roberto in the Jubilee scene
Yeah the one where Roberto was running (from the prime sentinels or the regular citizens I forget,) into the fence
@@Jimbo-bb1dg Also Magneto's face shot before the clash
The bell is truly the icing in the cake
In 97, the loud bell ding is missing. Bless the Newton Brothers for being faithful tho
When My Father and Mother were Students...
I hope they create a continuation of Spider-Man 98 lol and add some cross overs to
X-Men 97 didn't riffs the original X-men cartoon series, this new animation is just a reimagined by keeping it like in the 90's.
What do you think the word "riff" means?
Because you basically said "6 is stupid, I prefer half a dozen"
@@Michael-bn1oithat doesn't make any sense at all. What that got to do with what I wrote?
Actually the new animation is not even American 90s at all. It's actually anime. It's by the Korean anime studio mir. Who did show some video game animated movies and also Voltron legendary defender and legend of korra
@@VictorGonzalez-xs9octhe word “riff” has many meanings, including “variation”. When used in the phrase “riff on”, it means to take a certain idea and build upon it in a way that is original or distinct but pays homage to the previous concept. In other words, it means exactly what you said. This new opening is a reimagined version of the original- similar enough that the inspiration is obvious but with added elements to make it fresh. So it is fair to say that it is a “riff on”, or a variation of the old opening. I think you mistook the phrase for “rip off”, which means to steal. To make matters worse, you can say “riff off’ to mean the same thing as “it’s a riff on”. English can be confusing.
the 97' one also has that killer beats on the beginning
I notice Emma Frost in the new X-Men intro.
Also Lady Deathstrike
Our father who art in heaven
You could make this even more accurate now that they are using ponytail Jean in the opening credits.
If we ever get a series of the hulk or spider man or even the gargoyless
I pray they get the voice actors that are still with us.
I was sad Cable and Forge didn't make it into the title cards for the final episode.
X-MEN THEME REALLY ROCKS!
The original creator demanded that the theme song and cast weren't changed for the remake. Those were his 2 stipulations
Uh huh. Because there was one singular "creator" of the show who had 100% creative control in the 1990s and apparently still does 😂
This is a spin-off and they can do whatever they want with it even if such thing as "demands" exists.
Morph wasn’t in the original intro right?
He's probably a new member. If not then it's something the original didn't change.
In the original, there were no intro sections for Morph nor Bishop, even though Morph was a recurring character, and Bishop had been introduced in the Uncanny X-Men vol 1 issue #283 (a few months before the start of the animated series) and he became a permanent character in issue #290!
I hate the new storm hair...i prefer the original...😢
They made the right choice by just updating the animation of the intro, and leaving the template as is
This had my dumbass smiling the whole time.
That storm is so awkward lol
It took over 25 years for Marvel to look like Marvel again.
Hopefully, they keep it this way
Disney didn't want to put Jubilee running away from an angry mob in the intro.
Well to be fair they had to add Morph and Bishop
They added Roberto for her part. Which makes sense since current Jubilee is too powerful for an angry mob to beat since she was shown in the shown to defeat fodder Friends of Humanity members
She blew the face off of Bastion. She has graduated.
No wire fence where Jubilee gets caught only for it to transition to Wolverines claws?
They eventually added that, with Sunspot instead of Jubilee.
The only things I liked in the newer one is how they made the running look more realistic and the shot with Rogue throwing the sentinel to the ground (seriously that shot is definitely an upscale). But otherwise I like the original one better
What did they do to storms hair!
These days women can change the style of their hair. I know it seems like a weird concept, but apparently they can do that now. Technology, eh?
this is acurate to the comics she uses that hair in some comics, but I agree moicans looks horrible
@@ACtheLegend he means this is ugly and I agree
@@elderjose9662I think she rocks the hair and looks less like rouge. It also looks a little easier to animate than her other hairstyle.
To Me, My X-Men!
Great
You must have edited each piece? The actual intro doesnt match up with the old intro that well. Because it added characters, etc.
Accurate.
If Magneto is now the leader of the X-Men why is still running into battle against Xavier and the X-Men, and if Rogue gonna be his Honey Squeeze why isn't she on Mags team? 1:11
Gotta finish with the classic shot :)
Professor X could return
X MARKS THE SPOT!
X MARKS THE DEFEAT OF EVIL!
MARVEL COMICS' X-MEN!
Better in the old version:
- "X-MEN" block lettering (coloring, shading, heavier black outline)
- Exploding "X" accompanied by explosion sound effect.
- Hair (Rogue, Storm).
- Cyclops _standing_ in his title intro.
- Skin tone (Rogue, Magneto extremely pale in new).
- Storm's shorter cape & more lightening in her title intro.
w nitpicks
Thanks for doing this ❤. It makes no sense why they changed the order with the new opening, still like the new one although 😋
Why are skin colors so off in the original? This comes in every episode, they should have spend some time making it.
Either a bad analog transfer or the uploader messed up a setting when he outputted the video. Colors look fine in the actual original opening.
At least morph made ir in
0:55 they finally got rid of the random pink dude
Juggernaut lost some serious muscle!
Xavier and Magnus look much older in X-Men '97 compared to the original. They look like 30 to 40ish in X-Men TAS meanwhile they look like 70 in X-Men '97.
“You don’t understand, we NEED to ruin storm’s hair for the plot”
Classic >>>>>
Hand drawn animating looks better lol ha ha
X MARKS THE SPOT!
X MARKS THE DEFEAT OF EVIL!
MARVEL ANIMATION' X-MEN '97!
They have removed Pink Guy. Justice for Pink Guy
0:52 It's just my imagination or the Professor X's face have no facial expression in X-men 97? Looks like a statue
This is my opinion and no one has agree with me!. The new version is okay BUT!!!!.the original has more heart and soul with the sound effects in the original opening theme!. Also the original theme sets the tone of the of the entire show!.,
Can someone explain why Wolverine in a jungle in his underwear
He excaped weapon x lab then got his costume and joined Xmen
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I still perfer the original it's more RAW, you know rougher is sometimes better, that's what gave the original character.
All the characters in the original look bigger, the characters look puney in the new version.
I have started watching the new one, it's ok.
Радиоактивные люди
Ну не знаю, я новый сериал смотрел только из-за бровей Чарльза 😂😂😂
I can't be the only one who thinks the new one looks cheap compared to the original
How? The animation quality is so much better and smoother than the original.
@@MagicalBreadthe attempt to make 3d models look 2d was just to save money and it does look a little weird sometimes
They made Jean Grey as useless piece of work in the original when in fact she’s one of the strongest mutant there is
Interesting how some characters’ skin was lightened in the new show. Lost their tan.
Its HDTV now
oh god
@@davinalopez-oz1ez
If you are looking for a Rogue’s flat butt type of melt down.. you’re barking up the wrong tree.
😂😂😂 I noticed
Stormed gained a tan lol she is dark skin now
The classic intro and design rock. Everything was fine until you see Xavier's and Magneto's lips which look gay... no accident there.
Theyre lips bro how do they look gay?
Compared to the original they literally look like they use lipstick.
@@JJJawor”They look like”
You’re on to nothing!😂
And how the hell can lips “look gay” and how the hell would you know what that looks like?🤦♂️
Watch the show first before you start spouting literal nonsense.
Classics has more efforts
Rogue is Magnetos daughter, I called it. They are trying to red herring the whole situation to cause drama between gambit. Makes sense why they can touch. Remember mystiques her mom and magnetos old enough.
Rogue is not magneto daughter TF what r u 5
@@jonnycashh3876 they aren’t following the comics you dweeb. That’s why we don’t see them kiss. They would have kissed strait up if they was the case. Why only imply it when gambit was outside the door. I know the twists writers do and how they hint as shit.
I mean it’s Disney after all, why not a little extra family relations to push the boundaries again right?
Weren't Rogue and Magneto a couple in the comics? Surely they're just doing that storyline
@@joevictor53 notice how they implied the kiss but didn’t show anything when gambit was outside the room. They aren’t following the storyline of the comics. They know this and are gonna put this twist in it.
For all the over the top woke "P.C." garbage Disney put out lately this is actually good. Wish they'd redo Spider-man '67 next.
The original series have much better drawings. 97 are just cheesy and contemporary
Jubilee was prettier q
man new one looks like shit
why aren't all of em black or gay
like velma
🤦🏽
Is this a ragebait
They can't say it picked up where it left off then change soo many things not cool should've left it alone
You know they changed season 5's intro WAY more than this one, right?
New cartoon is dog shit. Cant believe the 90s version looks better.
Keep lying to yourself 👍
Then stick to watching that. But nooooo. I guarantee you'll be on every video for the me series crying about it
@@joevictor53 exactly. a bunch of babies
Sorry I like the classic better
