[@mcnooj82]

the cheesy melodrama was a strength of the show. not a weakness

[@justinriley]

Now that the season is over, I feel confident in calling this the best Marvel show since Daredevil.

[@Snook1985]

This is the best x-men anything, outside of comic in 15+ years. Arguably since the 92 series ended.

[@trelel1]

I personally liked Punisher better than Daredevil

[@Asupernaruto1]

Same!

[@thedarkemissary]

And yet....nobody watched it. Fans talk big about wanting good stuff. But then, don't show up. Expect this show to get cancelled randomly at the end of the next fiscal quarter.

[@shindean]

I think he's smart enough to just know why the power went out and how it'll eventually turn out: "Sigh...stupid magnetic gaijin finally did it. Which means that insane wolverine will be stabbing him just about...."* power on*

[@antdujar]

For me, the fact that they adapted Inferno (1989), Life Death(1984), The trial of Magneto (1985), Operation Zero Tolerence (1997), E is for Extinction (2001), Second Coming (2010), a little bit of fatal attractions, adventures of cyclops and pheonix, onslaught, Age of apocolpse, New Mutants, and a bit of astonishing X-men (2005), so seamlessly, was and is brilliant! It was all well executed! Even hints of Utopia and Krakoa. Demayo and the entire team that worked on this show were cooking! They need to bring Demayo back because he knows whats up and you can tell how much love and care was in this show. Especially making everything full circle with all the other 90's marvel cartoons and the crossovers that happened in the old 90s marvel animated universe, just well done. I hope he comes back for the next 4 seasons (because it was planned to be a 5 season series). And X-Men have always been an allegory for many things and the team displayed that well. hopefully we get more of this when it comes to the remainder of the MCU films where things mean something.

[@geardog24]

My only regret is that Wolverine wasn’t conscious for the final battle. So he could see how cool Cyclops looked.

[@tyronegreen1961]

Yeah but now he's going to be a BEAST in season 2 without the adamantium in his body

[@justinriley]

To be honest, I'm glad Wolverine wasn't prominent in the final episode. Much as I love the guy, there are other characters on the team that deserve the spotlight.

[@bearerofbadnews1375]

Yeah, but we’re getting the Bone Claws for season 2.

[@michaelstrong5383]

Wolverine is one of my favorite Marvel heroes, and yet I'm really glad he's not used all the time in this show. The writers could have easily overuse him since he's the popular mutant, but thankfully, they didn't. All the other members of the X-Men had their moments to shine.

I actually liked the drama and the dialogue. I think it’s fitting since the X-men is really about family and family always brings drama.

[@mudbutt234]

The dialogue is very Chris Claremont.

[@joeschmoe5231]

[@MinorityGamerReport1]

The original X-men cartoon totally had Marvel cameos. Spider-man, Doctor Strange, Black Panther, Ms Marvel, and Captain America all made brief appearances. Outside of Captain America, they were very blink and you’ll miss it, but they were still there. Ms Marvel (later Captain Marvel) is the whole reason Rogue has super strength and flight.

[@bruceleeroy8302]

94 Spider-man had most of the major Marvel characters appear except for the Hulk, even though he was mentioned once or twice.

[@marcblair3781]

there was also the X-Men crossover when Peter turned into the Man-Spider

[@aq4489]

Yeah, when martin said they never really crossed over or cameos i was like “wtf is he talking about?! They shoulda rewatched some of the older ones before this review cause they def forgot the old show

[@unworthyexp2519]

Was just about to write this

[@bearerofbadnews1375]

That Mary Jane cameo in the last episode had me pumping my fist in the air. I wasn’t even upset that Peter saved her offscreen.

[@michaelstrong5383]

This show's crew did her and Peter's character design justice. They look exactly like how they looked in the 90's cartoon. Now, we just need to know where and how he found her.

[@thedefinitionisthis]

I think Beau DeMayo confirmed that he intended that for that to be the real Mary Jane.... But maybe I'm over-thinking it, but if this series (obviously) takes place in 1997, and we go by the assumptions that all the old Marvel 90s cartoons took place at the same time they aired, *technically* the timeline has the Peter/Mary Jane cameo happening BEFORE the reveal that she was a clone. "The Return of Hydro Man" aired in October, 1997... OR I'm just a fanboy thinking too hard, and maybe should just take Beau DeMayo at his word lol.

[@thebrownbaldy]

SAME

[@tyronegreen1961]

Yep him and madam webb finally brought the real Mary Jane back from out the dimensional portal

[@l0n3w01f]

It made me gasp! I was like "HE FOUND HER!!! HOW I NEED A SPIDER MAN CARTOON NOW!"

[@malcolmmurphy4331]

When Corey asked Martin if they had crossovers like this and he said “not really” 🤦🏾‍♂️…but I have to remember, they did mention that they didn’t watch the show like that so 🤷🏾‍♂️ lol

[@patrickcharles6983]

What i love most about X-Men 97 is that it feel like it was written by someone who has genuine love for the 90's X-Men show/comics. the animation is like a hybrid of 90's X-Men,HBO's Spawn&the X-Men anime from 2011 in the best way.

[@Byronic19134]

It was written by somebody who lived the 90’s but that is not enough, like passion doesn’t equal talent, X-Men 97’ is great because it was written by somebody who loves the 90’s show that also happens to be a ridiculously good writer.

[@andrewwilson1059]

Written like someone who remembered all the Chris Claremont Dialogue from the 70s -90s, the show felt like if he he had done a redux of all the stories after he left and combined the with his past ones.

[@solblackguy]

I'm already binge watching while taking notes and noticing even more references and themes in dialogue and even musical riffs. Speaking of music, I need a 5 hour extended mix of all of Magneto's theme variations. So far, I've counted about 5 different movements

[@youngrootv]

X-Men 97 is up there with Infinity War for me as one of the best things that Marvel has ever put out film/TV-wise. An absolute refreshing surprise!

[@stephanhenry9205]

There still weren’t much stakes at that point. And I get that. Especially when the big bad who was trying to kill Magnetos whole ethos was. “You muties complain too much!” Episode 3 is really where it goes off.

[@slowodanx]

cause he is out of touch and even says bullshit like "the never did crossovers" BULLSHIT MARTIN.

[@luchamiomaridekakio6429]

Most people liked it at the moment so he was trying to be contrary til he couldnt deny it

[@MrGeo-EmitFodrol]

I can feel if people don't like Apocalypse if only judging him from the movie but you're in for a pleasant surprise because along with Dr. Doom he is one of the best villains of all of Marvel especially if done right which I have faith because even in the orginal show he was a beast. Xmen Evolution did him good too.

[@adamfreddo5703]

I'm really glad Bastion was picked as the main antagonist. Like Magneto and Mr Sinister are great, but adapting a "new" adversary is exciting and really it opens the doors to more new characters being introduced for the show who are fan favourites. Great character and performance from Theo James to.

[@jpsketch03]

Glad y'all loved it as much as the rest of us. I personally adored the "soap opera" elements. The X-Men have always been a soap opera, and the movies missed that element.

[@christopherauzenne5023]

Well in fairness that makes sense, soap opera can only really BE in a continuous series (so shows and comics, in fact most comics act similarly to soap operas in key ways) but for movies that can’t really work, most are self contained 1 & 1/2-2 hours that for the most part just get a trilogy if lucky so soap opera elements can’t work the same way in them

[@comixproviderftw_02]

[@christophercallahan8691]

Appreciated that the makers of this show took a lot of inspiration from anime. From rouge doing a lighting kick, gambit doing a mad sakuga, and multiple use of the quick moving tendrils. Even the soap opera level melodrama that has been part of the DNA of the X men property is very anime. So glad this is successful and hope to see more efforts like this in future.

[@Eidlones]

[@Gangerworld]

Martin turned around on the show hugely since the 1st three. Glad to see it. I'm with Korey - the show is BETTER THAN SEX, especially for a long suffering X-men fan like me.

[@rmeddy]

They really cooked here. They stuck to the core themes and evolved it very well from its core conceits and where I as a fan know where the positions are from before and yeah they had my boy Magneto cooking the entire season, total MVP with this, but even Bastion was somewhat sympathetic, that last point he made was pretty powerful. Great and organic use of cameos, none of it felt clumsy or bogged down the narrative in anyway I thought they were going to hint at Onslaught because of how much they pulled from Fatal Attractions. I also liked that they put the Avengers in an antagonistic light from a "Status Quo" standpoint, so I can see them setting Avenger vs Xmen down the line Low BTS. I'm hoping to get a 16-bit game out of this in the same vein of TMNT Schredder's Revenge as cross-marketing to line up with when Season 2 comes out.

[@charlesrickman2659]

It was my understanding that Kevin Feige pretty much told Beau DeMayo as long as he used the original cast and recording studio, he had 100% creative control.

But the bit about the black leather, I think that was Feige's direct input, and you cant tell me any different.

Hey guys, it double toasted. There were cameos in the original show but they had to call them different names so you see these characters if I remember all of them. Punisher war machine Spider-Man's hand Spider-Man Shadow Doctor strange just to name a few and Larry Houston that worked on the show said we had to refer to the characters. Not as their names most of the time but soldier or spider person or machine robot man. You know things like that to kind of hide it because of the rights thing and they also had an appearance by Black panther. You see him on top of a random area like a rock facing a rockcliff and he was just panther person or random mutant panther person and that's how they would do it back then which was pretty cool. So I thought you guys would find that interesting. Not trying to be a know-it-all or anything like that but if you guys look it up you know you might find it interesting

[@Lu__Kang_]

How about comparing it to the actual live-action X-Men movies and how much better this is than any of those adaptations by a mile lol? I remember these characters did cross over on the old Fox series. The X-Men, spiderman, Fantastic Four, ironman a Hulk, and Silver Surfer animated series were all a shared universe. There were even episodes where Spiderman came to the Xavier Institute because he was growing extra arms and thought he might be a mutant The mutant threat argument is a strawman argument; the mutants never started any of it. Their fear is based on their projection of what they've always done when they've had power. They do not have a right to fear based on their own ignorance and willful ignorance at that. Magneto EMP’d the planet in Response to a flagrant war crime against Genosha , genosha which was once a real live concentration camp run by humans lol. The logic of the oppressed group has to respond in ways approved by the oppressor or those who stand by the oppressor. The asteroid is crashing to earth based on the magneto protocols where the governments of the world decided to try bombing an eight mile long asteroid lol . There’s also the misnomer that most mutants have X-men level abilities. Most mutants have mundane abilities and they don’t want to use them to “take our jobs” lol, they more often than not just wanna do what they did before their powers manifest. Also, apocalypse always has all the best lines in the X-men comics and the old show. It’s onl only in the Fox movie where he’s trash.

9:02 yes, there were loads of cameos in X-Men. The only character who showed up last time but hadn’t this time? Deadpool, who I believe is off limits at the moment. The whole of the X-Men team guest starred in a couple of Sider-Man episodes too. Marvel had their own animated universe even before DC let Bruce Timm cook on Superman and later the Justice League. One that included Iron Man, the FF, and the Hulk, all whom had animated shows on at the same time. Whenever a character from one show appeared on another? It was usually with the same voice actor and or character design.

THIS was X-Men writing....those that know know

Did yiu see the end credit scene? Apocalypse is in the present and digging thru the remains of Genosha massacre. He has a Gambit card he will definitely rez him as one of his horsemen next season most likely Death. So they will have to battle an evil Gambit and try to turn him back good

[@Fenris30]

Thing about it is that Both the Past and Future Storyline also deal with Apocalypse so it's clear he's the Adversary of the next season Past, Present and Future.

I wish Sunspot was designed a bit different but otherwise I think this show is completely perfect. Dialogue is corny but I honestly think it has charm and is transitioning us from the old series to more modern dialogue. Back then, comic book based dialogue was really lofty. Overall 10/10.

Best Marvel project ever. Easily.

I watched the 90’s animated series in full as a kid. I remember reading parts of the comics which was very similar to the new X-men 97 series. I really liked the fact this series was a continuation with answers to unfinished parts of the last season of X-men 69 instead of a rebooting. There was two X-men reboots of the animated series was based on the fox movies with X-men in teen cartoon format and only lasted a few seasons before ending on a cliffhanger. I remember another X-men reboot was after the extinction of mutants and the remaining children with the X gene trying to cope in a world where they are rare extinct race. One of the characters had the phoenix force and cable was one of there guardians.

Go watch TMNT 03. I'm still surprised they got as much as they did on TV especially in 03. It's the same company that ruined One Piece and censored Yu-Gi-Oh too.

Best Marvel animation since the 90s, better than the 90s, is easily as good as some of the best DC animation, including Mask of the Phantasm. Yeah, I said it! A masterpiece of comic book adaptation. The great thing about those comics is how complex and connected the world felt, and how human if often melodramatic the stories being told were admist all the epic battles and back and forths between the heroes and their villains, it would literally get Shakespearian at times, or like a Greek tragedy. These were drawn soap operas for teens and young adults that were treated with deadly seriousness within their own plotlines, and this show captures all of that. That's the problem with those 90s animated Marvel shows, ultimately they had to tone all of that down because those shows were made for children and had to pass tv censors, whereas the biggest demographic for comic buyers has always been for those between the ages of 12-29, and the Comics Code Authority began it's long, slow death since the 80s. This show is made for fans of those original shows and especially the ones who were first comic fans, that have all grown up, so it can treat these often convoluted plotlines with the seriousness they deserve. It feels like a small peak into a much wider universe, a view of a slice of a much greater whole, just like those comics did. I have Fatal Attractions, I collected that comic back in the 90s. I felt like I watched it come alive on this show.

This show was a perfect example of 'And then" plot progression. This happens, and then this happens and then this happens. Little of that is explored, or set up. What's the phrase ... ? ... member-berries. This is member-berries the show. For comic fans. I ended up spending hours reading Wikipedias, just find out wtf was happening and who characters were.

The best content from Marvel since "End Game"

2024 show of the year also, GIVE US SPIDER-MAN '98!

[@fabriennebrannon6791]

I love it and am so happy. I watched X-Men every Saturday back in the day. I’m 51 now with 9 grandkids and they don’t have a clue of the awesomeness of X-Men.

[@D12345]

I disagree somewhat that they didn't have cameos in the original series. ??? Famously, Thor, the Watcher, Spiderman etc. but they were glimpses. X-men played mostly in the mutant world, Spiderman was less so, Daredevil, X-men, War Machine etc. Maybe not X-Men, yet the Marvel Animated Universe was fairly connected. I did feel this season did lay it on thick with cameos (non-X-men characters). It was not enough for fleshing things out (regarding characters) to much not to come across as fan service.

[@Katfish1216]

Magneto was right tbh...all the mutants want is to live in peace without harm or persecution. But Bastion has had to go.

[@EazyDee-ps8xi]

I still want them to explain how tf did Magneto survive that explosion.😅 That team up with Wolverine and Nightcrawler vs the human sentinels was 🔥🔥🔥.

I died when he slid that commercial in I'm from Texas in fort Hood, I would love to sit in the studio and laugh it up with him, I'd rather go to a screening with him I'm just an hour away from Austin

[@johnpangarakis396]

I completely disagree about the dialogue. I don’t think it was cheesy at all

[@derektorres9275]

See Marvel, this is what happened when you actually follow the comics

[@LeckyBarnacles]

The humans were responsible for the crashing asteroid themselves...

[@rashonalbany3584]

I agree %1,000 with Martin on the nostalgia bait. I wasn’t even going to watch it because I had that thought, but boy was I wrong and happily so.

[@snupedupe]

I have to say I'm not into show and movie scores but omg ...and the animation with the story is just perfect

[@anthonypatterson1074]

I loved it they didn't sugarcoat it. 👍
