[@justincummings5022]

​@@tatoba5066 Nightcrawler: him seeing Rogue and Gambit and encouraging Gambit to marry Rogue, him comforting Jean, and him fighting the Prime Sentinels alongside Wolverine while wielding three swords at once, with some AMAZING music playing. Cable: him taking out Bolivar Trask, his team up with Cyclops and Jean, and that moment with an astral projection of Cyclops. Morph: You could really put most of the cameos on here. Highlights include Hulk and Quicksilver. Bishop and Beast: I agree, these two got really sidelined. Still they had a few moments. Bishop had his tag team with Cyclops and taking Cable to the future. Beast has his commandeering of Scentinel, twice. There's also the little moment at the end of episode 10 that sums up the entire situation. I do hope more is done with these two in a possible second season. As for Gambit...well I wouldn't worry about that. If that post credit scene with Apocalypse means anything, Gambit is coming back with a vengeance.

He just asks her to calm down, slow down and make sure they do things the right way and they're not actually playing into the bad guy's hands (which the X-Men almost do and blunder straight into a trap.)

Marvel prohibiting the appearance of Tchalla outside of the MCU is honestly disrespectful and not what the legacy of Chadwick Boseman should be- obviously I understand the character passing away in the MCU but outside of that he should be allowed to continue, I doubt Boseman would’ve wanted the character as a whole to die with him

[@blueonihiro4885]

I like to think that X-men 97 used the father T'Chaka cause its a 90s timeline and having T'Chaka as Black Panther with the the Dora Milaje (invented by MCU) helps mesh with the lore most viewers are familiar with. I personally watched the 90s X-Men and Fantastic Four cartoons decades ago as a kid, but I honesty forgot that T'Chaka was killed by Claw in Fantastic Four. Also emphasis on how T'Chaka was killed in Fantastic Four cartoon not the X-men show continuity itself. Factors like that should give the X-men 97 showrunners more slack to adapt details for modern audiences IMHO.

Another awesome video. Just want to mention that the story board artist of this show has stated that the animation is NOT 3D. A majority of the show is hand drawn animation. It just looks 3D cell shaded because of the lack of frames and the VHS transfer filter placed over it. The animators did this deliberately to make it look like it was made in the 90s and stay in line with the original series. Its very much a classical 2D animated series with occasional 3D elements. Also another fun fact. The director and storyboard artist of the original intro Larry Houston was also the storyboard artist for the new sequences in X-Men 97's intro. So anytime you see new sequences and character titles such as Magneto, Morph, Bishop, and Nightcrawler its Larry doing them :D

I dont know if I can truly put into words how much I adore this phenomenal series. As a long-time X-Men fan and fan of the original series, even though I wasn't born when the show was around, HOLY S*** , THIS SERIES IS EXCEPTIONAL (pun intended). Now this is how you do a tv show revival successfully! No joke, this series is so masterfully well written, with absolutely phenomenal animation and truly compelling characters and complex, deep, dark themes that genuinely make you question the inherent societal bigotry and how to process internal thoughts of fighting for equality and how to do so in a way to help society grow from the status quo of discrimination and to do more than allow yourself to become numb to a neverending struggle that you feel like isn't your responsibility. Truthfully, this series is some of the *BEST MARVEL MEDIA WE'VE EVER SEEN SINCE ENDGAME* (except No Way Home, GOTG3 and Loki)! Compared to how phenomenal this series was, Fox movies seem like amateur student films with such a bare-bones understanding of how truly incredible and insane the X-Men stories can be when you truly hire people who care about these amazing characters. After watching this show and its epic finale, Bastion became one of my favourite X-Men/Marvel villains. Theo James especially gave a superb performance as Bastion; now, whenever I read a comic featuring Bastion, I'll hear his voice. Not only him but the entire voice cast, especially for Cyclops, Magneto, Storm, Jean, Charles, Gambit, Rogue, Jubilee, Wolverine, Morph, and Nightcrawler, all did a tremendous job. This show's take on Cyclops and Magneto especially are pitch perfect and truly did both of them justice by finally putting respect on my man Scott Summers, whereas the movies butchered him everytime, and this take on Magneto is probably one of the most complex and deloped takes on the character I have ever seen. Bro; the number of cameos in this series is insane! Cyclops and Jean saying goodbye to Cable/Nathan had me in tears🥺. 10/10 SEASON 1 I NEED A SEASON 2 NOW!!! Hell I would love to see more Marvel 90's show revivals for other shows like the Iron Man, Hulk and especially Spiderman 90's series since they just gave us Peter reunited with MJ and a lot of us want to know how?

I'd like to see an animated Spider-Man series based on the works of JMS and Paul Jenkins, a Deadpool animated series, a Ninja Turtles animated series based on the IDW comics, a Hellboy animated series, a Kick-Ass animated series, and Animated Marvel movies based on various stories from the comics like they used to do.

[@thatguyfromA6915]

WAIT THIS SHOW IS 3D I NEVER NOTICED

[@pablocasas5906]

No, it's not entirely done in 3D, most of the animation is done is hand-drawn 2D, but there's a lot of cel-shaded models and props

I got to meet Cal Dodd at c2e2, Just an amazing dude, and true veteran of the industry. I also found out that he voiced Slappy the dummy from the original goosebumps when I was there.

[@GTXDash]

I grew up on all 5 of the 90s Marvel cartoons. X-men, Fantastic 4, Spider-Man, IronMan, and Hulk. And even my little brain knew that all these shows take place in the same universe, especially after watching the last few episodes of Spider-Man 94. It really is amazing that they were able to pull an MCU before the MCU was even a thing. Also, I'm blown away when you said they're 3D models. 😮 Not even Spiderverse could pull that off, it still looks CG. I am really impressed.

[@TitularHeroine]

There was a Silver Surfer show too! Super cool

[@GTXDash]

@TitularHeroine oh yeah. I watched that too. I totally forgot about it.

[@Joenight100]

Kind of wild Cal Dodd is just my definitive Wolverine now. I'm collecting and reading Claremont X-Men now and I just imagine his voice from Wolverine now.

[@jake9841]

@GodzillaMendoza While I agree with your list of the Marvel animated shows being within the same universe rather than separating Fantastic Four, Iron Man and Hulk into their own universe. One big issue is the Scarlet Witch in the X Men Animated series vs the Scarlet Witch in Iron Man.

[@SOK39]

Can't wait for them to Continue Spider-Man, Hulk, Iron Man, and Fantastic Four Hell, maybe expand the universe with new shows. Like start a 90s Avengers

[@KingofBeasts444]

It feels so weird hearing people say that they didn't grow up with these cartoons...

[@Stickfigure-ly7gf]

15:58 I love those shows. However, I was raised in Spectacular, in Vortexx on the CW in 2013.

[@hulkstrong2389]

I grew up with the x-men cartoon (I'm a 35yo man) and each episode brought me back to what I felt watching that series. I don't watch much TV these days, as it's hard for me to find things I can sit through with my severe ADD, but MY GOD! I can't remember the last time I've been as hyped as I was for each new episode. I still get goosebumps thinking of the "remember it" scene. This has taken the spot as my favorite X-Men story. Wolverine has always been my favorite character, but this show managed to make me fall in love with every single character on screen. God I love this.

[@terryhall8915]

Tbh 97 has been best thing Marvel has produced in a long time

[@dkaptain5879]

I was literally asking I wonder where Daredevil is, and then he showed up, I was shocked.. Love Daredevil lol

[@andrewcabral963]

Man they should do a continuation with the 90's Hulk series they could do the Professor Hulk arc given that the Gray Hulk and the Savage Hulk are a part of Bruce's psyche and are always fighting each other to see who gets to be released.

[@pablocasas5906]

3:16 in the Latin American Spanish version all of the voice cast from the '92 series was recast, which is kind of weird since despite some of them being in their '50s or 60's they're still active, only Logan and Xavier's original VAs passed away a couple of years ago. Scott is voiced by Arturo Mercado Jr., who is well know for being Mickey Mouse's current VA and Woody from Toy Story 3 onwards, but he does a great job, though I wish Cyclop's original VA, Gerardo Reyero, still voiced the character. Though interestingly, Magneto is now voiced by Octavio Rojas, who in the original X-Men '92 voiced Bishop and Xavier is voiced by Salvador Delgado, who used to voice Omega Red in that show as well

[@NadeemShekh-uy9zn]

I love the X-Men comics, movies, shows and games

[@KotoCrash]

Unprecedented? Not only are 90s continuations abound, but Marvel had already done a continuation of the 90s Xmen cartoon in the comics

Honestly the look of this show is amazing and so unique, the comic shading (especially on magneto’s hero suit) looks spectacular nothing like I’ve seen before…genuinely if they make a new spidey revival I would love if they incorporated the same style

[@Soapcloud705]

I just found this channel and subscribed so I could eventually see a timeline video on the cartoon universe. Sounds like a lotta time and work, I can’t wait to see it.

[@dontemorgan1517]

I was worried about this show, but I'm glad the series is good. It's awesome that finally a show that pay respect to source materials what they want. Although, some people my not care for it which is why the viewership are low and just don't trust disney which I totally understand and can't blame them, but hopefully they'll check it out one of these days. Plus, I'm happy that Nightcrawler join the team since as a kid he along with Colossus, Psylocke are my favorite characters that should have join the X-Men but those two didn't join but hey its great Nightcrawler is part of it. Now with the success of X-Men 97, let's hope we get more shows that were canceled to be brought back like Spider-Man tas, Avengers: Earth's Mightiest heroes, and bring the other 90s Marvel cartoons.

[@orbitalshawn0625]

It's awesome that they included some many comic stories from different eras. It's basically a good chance for a comic-reader to get at least reference

[@juanrisa945]

Actually, the supervising director confirmed the show is mostly hand-drawn.

[@chriscannon8144]

I love it when you make small comparisons between 2D & 3D. This makes me feel a little less bias towards hand drawn animation now and less harsh with 3D.

I always get mad at KZbin when it doesn't put Xavier's videos in the subscriptions box because then people comment something like" Finally you post after 17 years!" not knowing he's posted like 3 other videos in the past month

14:00 My best guess is that Genosha was a non-member observer state in the original show and then gets officially admitted as a member state in '97.

... couldn't agree more on your comment regarding the redemption thing. It confuses and appals me how people nowadays seem to see any form of forgiveness or attempt to redeem people as "villains getting away scott-free with their crimes" or "villains who haven't earned their redemption".

[@Thed538dhsk]

It's harder for cameos with film actirs due to their contracts having a set number of appearances. Wasting Benedict's contractual appearance in a role to just see him doing surgery in a captain America film is not cost effective. Name dropping them can and maybe should be done more

[@NadeemShekh-uy9zn]

16:14 using the amazing Spider-Man movie score for that part is awesome
