X-MEN '97 1x6 REACTION! | "Lifedeath - Part 2" | Marvel

[@mrcleane6559]

The professor is psychically connected to all of his students, he felt Gambit's death all the way across the galaxy.

[@hamhockbeans]

More than that there is a war starting. This is the calm before the storm. Glad we got a breather.

[@RoyCyberPunk]

​@hamhockbeans A war started by Dr Sinister as I suspected and he went so far that even Bolivar Trask himself was horrified. A needless stupid war created by an enemy of all rational sentient beings on Earth in this franchise but he wins because he gets his stupid all consuming evolutionary war.

[@GenghisDon1970]

yup! also: thus, Magneto lives?

[@eingoluq]

And we get a lil bit of forshadowing. Gambit was Death for Apocalypse in the comics. The imagery invokes that. Also seeing Nimrod with The Master Mold in the beginning we are definately getting Bastion soon.

[@anthonyflinn3305]

It does make you wonder why he did not initially sense magnus's death as well ​@@GenghisDon1970

[@johncannon7109]

Xavier was never dead. Only wounded. They lied to the world just in case he didn't return. It was in the series finale

[@kdonig84]

Yeah, and when Lilandra took him, She told the X-men that if they could heal him then he would never be able to return to Earth.

[@Richardwho-vv5bh]

Bro, i totally forgot about that. Its been a whule since the og show.

[@LunaticReason]

Storms mother is Kenyan and her father is America where she was born in Manhattan. When she was 5 they moved to Cairo where there was a conflict between Arabs and Israeliès. A downed plane crashed into their home leaving her buried with her dead mother. Which resulted in her fear of enclosed spaces (Claustrophobia)

[@chelliebean5773]

FINALLY! Some knows the original comic book lore...Storm suffers from severe claustrophobia as a result. She grew up on the streets of Chairo afterwards and learned pickpockets from those that took her in, sad childhood. The live action movies warped her story so, that some commentor from the live action movie with Apocalypse were stating she wasn't even black but Moroccan. The revamped animated show setting things straight.

[@reggiebrown9508]

Actually she was born in Harlem (yes I know Harlem is in Manhattan, but tell that that to people from Harlem) and moved to Cairo when she was a baby that's why she has the accent. She wouldn't have an accent if she moved when she was 5, she would have an American accent by 5 years old.

[@nateisler3]

I remember the final episode back in the 90s. Yes Charles was dying and the technology on earth wasn't going to save him so Lelandra opted to take him off world where his chances of survival would be better because of their tech.

[@Chystyle]

They talked about the past series at the end, what they remembered along with footage from the original series. They’ve seen it. One of them said they haven’t seen it since they were a kid and talked about what they remembered of the Shi’ar. The other knew less remembering only a little of the old show and drawing more knowledge from the movies. Jaby said the story is not following the same as the movie and said he knew the Professor had to come back while the other was sure he was dead-dead.

Gladiator (the purple flying mohawk guy) is the commander of and often a stand-in for the Shi'ar Imperial Guard. He's basically Marvel's homage to DC's Superman, with his superhuman strength, flight ability, physical invincibility, and eye lasers. In fact, his actual name is Kallark, which is a reference to Superman's Kryptonian and human names: Kal-El and Clark Kent.

Gladiator is "loyal" to Lilandra because she is Empress but his loyalty is to the throne not her as an individual. If she is legally deposed and another is given the throne like Deathbird he will follow them and not Lilandra.

That makes an awesome shirt: " Birdbitch be gone!"

[@ETPlayground]

So the guy alongside Deathbird in the red outfit with the black on top and short dark hair is Vulcan, aka Gabriel Summers. It isn't brought up (yet), but he's also Deathbird's lover and makes the drama of the Summers family tree even more insane.

[@avataz]

It's kind of strange that she is ok being with a Terran but it isn't ok for Lilandra

[@ETPlayground]

@@avataz "rules for thee, not for me" is hardly a rare attitude for the mad and powerful. And she probably doesn't know since he's an omega level mutant who wasn't born on Earth so they probably think he's from whatever planet they found him on. That or he's into being a pet like Charles is.

[@murk4552]

Also she sleeps with Bishop and has a daughter with him later on.

[@Jumpoable]

@@avataz Oh she's a hypocrite. Also she may not know that Vulcan is from earth.

[@mrcleane6559]

@avataz At the time she didn't know Vulcan was ripped out his mother's womb and forced grown on the Shi'ar homeworld by D'Kken when she and Cosair was taken, Cosair pushed Scott and Alex out of their plane when it was being taken by the Shi'ar. Scott hit his head and damaged his eyes as a child, and that is why he can't control his optic blast withouthis visor, and they didn't know their mother was pregnant at the time

[@mageeaaron2624]

2:42 Understandable. In the original animated series, he was dying. However, empress Lilandra had the technology to save him. But Professor X had to leave and the X-Men didn't know how long it would take for him to heal. Since they haven't heard from her empire for awhile, they assumed he was dead

[@SuCcEABC8]

I love how everyone is sobbing at this episode who knew an animated series could provoke such emotional chaos - I can’t rewatch this episode without howling in tears. EVERY SCENE with Magneto is RIVETING and POWERFUL - the writers are out of this world and voice actors OMG WHEW We needed these characters for the times we are in so relevant still!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@nateisler3]

A notable feat that made Gladiator memorable was when he tanked a punch from Juggernaut and then launched him across the ocean

[@diegopansini3152]

Gladiator is one of Marvel’s three Superman archetypes. The other two are Sentry and Hyperion, but Gladiator’s powers are the most similar to Superman’s

[@kylefukumoto5811]

The Imperial Guard are Marvel versions of the Legion of Super Heroes. Gladiator, the leader, is Superboy with super strength, flight, heat vision, and super breath. The gardeners were Kymellian, horse aliens, who were important in Power Pack's origin. There were plans for that team in the early MCU, this was in the book, MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios, recommended, it really shows the decisions behind the movies or which ones were not made.

[@thecartomancerspath]

Storm is Claustrophobic.

[@biguy617]

Something the movies never mentioned.

[@thecartomancerspath]

@@biguy617 Also true, and the movies totally downplayed Rogue and Jubilee as well. Those two had so much potential for a character build-up.

Gladiator is great. He’s a Superman-like character whose entire power set is based on his belief in what he’s doing/himself. Break his confidence and you break the man.

[@landen3994]

I never knew much about Gladiatior but I always wanted to learn more about him I’m happy he appeared here.

[@maghnas20]

Btw that was gladiator that punched her not her lover Vulcan, he was in the earlier scene against the knee.

[@ShadowBlade79]

Charles spent his entire life putting the advancement of the entire mutant race on his back. It would be no easy decision for him to make to leave it all behind, to finally let go and put his trust in his children to keep fighting the good fight. He probably figured, at least at the beginning, that it would be easier for them to move on and focus on their mission if they weren't worried about him constantly on the other side of the galaxy.

[@chelliebean5773]

That look is Storm's original look, when she was first discovered by Xavier to help the original X-men (Cyclops, Jean-Grey, Beast, Banshee and maybe Quick Silver) to fight a Mutant Island (I think I bought that comic in 85 or 86). That's when they found and added Storm, Logan (Wolverine), Collossus, and Night Crawler (as part of the New Uncanny X-men) Yes my Geek Flag is Flying

[@Marvelousgamer7697]

“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”-Strom This writing is so GOOD! 😭🙏🏽

[@JeremyB8419]

I think Gambit is having his Horsemen of Death and his New Sun storylines merged. When he's standing up, there's a bright sun behind his head, and Sinister is the one who did the surgery to repress his original powers. Sinister probably reverses the surgery and Gambit's healing factor kicks in as well as causing his powers to manifest oddly (death persona) and at a much higher level (New Sun). Probably betrays Sinister in the end, like the end of his Horsemen of Death to Marauder story arc.

Storm is my favorite marvel character and I should tell you this. See, she is actually claustrophobic because of the result of her being trapped under rubble as a child when her parents were killed.

[@Jumpoable]

I can't believe they got rid of the mohawk so soon, but her magically Sailor Storm growing out her hair & then manifesting her iconic tiara shows that she's claiming her supernatural heritage. They even showed Forge's shamanic power (I mean I thought they'd just keep it simple & keep him as the science guy). Literally a shamanic journey for both (& with Xavier as well), with Forge letting go of logical Western "science" to rely on the age-old wisdom of his mother & use faith to help his friend, Ororo accepting her past (her original 70s outfit), defeating her demons ("What are demons but reflections of our fears & shame") to let her move towards the future. Screamed & hollered when Ororo got rehabilitated. She was NEVER depicted as THIS Goddess & THAT badass punk b*tch with the strongest will amongst all the mutants in any type of media apart from the source material (deplorably NEVER in the films, nor to this extent in the old cartoon). I swear most of the writers in LA nowadays have GONE THROUGH SHAMANIC HEALING SESSIONS & this shows in all of the best writing LOL.

[@mageeaaron2624]

18:35 I completely understand. Yeah, the original X-Men animated series and X-Men 97 don't have restrictions like the MCU or the Fox Marvel movies did back than. They were able to make comic book accurate stories like this. When the X-Men films and the Avenger films started, that's when the restrictions came up until Marvel gained the rights back to their characters *Minus Spider-Man.* Hope this makes sense. 🙏🏽💪

[@jwbuckmiller82jb]

The X-Men know he's alive. That was the last episode of the original series. He was taken to space to save him. But he was put to death publicly on earth because it's easier to say he died rather than say he went to outerspace to be woth h8s alien girlfriend. Lol!

"My God. You ARE dramatic."

[@backfandangoX]

i unfortunately think Gambit is dead dead, it’s what is bringing Charles back. Maybe he’ll be back if they bring in Apocalypse later but as of now, he’s the actual death needed to move the story forward. And with Charles coming back I wonder if Magneto is in a coma or something.

[@romheadliner994]

The real storm is back!

[@drudle]

Heads up on who Gladiator is: He's essentially Superman. Super strength, hearing, invulnerability, hearing, ice breath, x-ray vision, heat vision, etc etc. The whole shabam. Only his powers decrease or increase depending on his loyalty to a cause and his confidence in himself. Dude is so strong he ripped apart a black hole and took on blasts from Phoenix herself.

[@Reddy315]

Storm's upgrade and powers evolution toward the end of this episode, reminds me of her classic look with the headpiece, long hair, dark uniform when she became the Queen of Wakanda after marrying T'Challa/Black Panther after his proposal...do you think she will meet him in this cartoon or like will he make a cameo appearance?

[@biguy617]

Why is Deathbird free? She betrayed Lilandra the last time we saw her by making a pact with Apocalypse. She should be in prison.

[@marcellousnguyen187]

18:28 I understand. Remember, the X-Men are Marvel characters. They play a huge part and have a huge connection to everyone in the bigger Marvel universe. However, since Marvel lost the rights back than and started the MCU, it felt strange. The MCU has some good projects, but without the X-Men characters, the MCU always felt small. Even when they had the Guardians of The Galaxy, it still felt a huge piece of Marvel lore wasn't there. One big example is that Storm and Black Panther were married in the comics. However, during the events of Civil War, *Similar to the MCU film, but bigger in the comics* they had a divorced because they were on opposite sides. That's why some people were a little disappointed with Captain America: Civil War because almost all the Marvel heroes were involved. *Minus the Guardians if the Galaxy* The Fantastic Four and the X-Men were part of it to. Fortunately, the X-Men the animated series and X-Men 97 doesn't have that issue. Plus, Marvel has the rights to all their characters again! 👏

[@MarcellousNguyen]

Amen! 💪

The professor did not die. In the original series. He was in critical condition. That is why Lalamdra took him to her world because they had the technology to heal him.

[@desmoove]

Shiar dude with the cape and mohawk protecting the Professor X and Lilandra is named Gladiator. The Shiar created him from a test tube. He's basically their Superman, same powers and just as powerful. He feels the same way about serving the Shiar that Superman feels about "The American Way"...only WAY more intense. He was created to be the Shiar's ultimate weapon and protector and is only loyal to whoever's in charge, in this case it's Lilandra and Prof X. If Deathbird legally got elected then he'd work the same way for her. Dude is only loyal to the Shiar empire no matter who's in charge.

[@nilesstark]

Both "Returns" were inevitable. Charles could only stay away for so long before he would have to come home. He has alot to do and people will need him now more than ever. Storm getting back to her goddess status was definitely more spiritual than physical. But her determination to save Forge was a perfect reason to start.

[@sakisaotome6753]

what i find confusing is why Magneto was acting like charles had died when he was there when lillandra took him away.

[@tkm1875]

I think Storm transforming has something to do with the awakening of her mystical ancestry and not really her x-gene. Storm comes from a long line of African sorcerers. Awakening her mystical power conjured her classic goddess costume and perhaps reversed the effects of gun. Because it surely rejuvenated her hair in an instant, lol. I also suspect she's even more powerful now. Magic + X-Gene?!

[@Corey313]

Man did I really enjoy your reaction to this. But if you remember Charles actually kinda did the same thing in the movies where he died and transferred his mind to another living body but with no brain activity well at least it's some what similar but the only difference is that The She-ra came and got him and saved him. But to see Storm regain her powers and become that Omega level threat that she can be if pushed there. Awesome reaction you two

[@vgautamkrishna5197]

He is the *gladiator*

[@craftycabbage777]

When it comes to Charles and why he may not have immediately returned (because he obviously really wanted to), it is because of his love for the Empress. Charles is loyal to those he cares about, and since he probably assumed that everything on earth was getting better, he didn't feel as if he needed to rush to go back so he remained with the Empress. Plus she did save his life so probably also felt like he was indebted to her in some way, and didn't want to cause anymore trouble for her so he probably used his abilities less. But, the conflict that caused him to use his powers may have also opened a channel to earth just enough for him to receive a vision of death. Him seeing all of the skeletons and seeing Gambit morph into a figure of death was just too much and he knows he has to go back.

[@robertocolvard1923]

It's several empires but the 3 major empires are kree/skulls/shi'ar. The shi'ar is basically what Xavier said they conquer other races and assimilate them. Gladiator is one of marvels superman analogs. Gladiator, hyperion, sentry. Blue marvel

Cassandra Nova takes major advantage of the Shi'Ar definitions of insanity in "Imperial". Cassandra Nova's psyche possessing Charles leaves with the Shi'Ar and convinces Lilandra to eradicate the X-Men, because THEY are "possessed" and insane. But, Cassandra is actually the embodiment of the evil they call "Mummudrai".

with the shi'ar you will get a lot of avian themes come out like ronan calling deathbird a pigeon or Lillandra calling deathbird a vulture. they are evolved from birds.
