I did not expect to love and get as invested in this show as I did. Episodes got me tearing up every other one, and episode 5 made me actually cry at the end. I was completely sideswiped with how much I cared. So happy that wolverine was finally put on the sideline and great characters like cyclops, storm, rogue, and magneto along with many others got plenty of time to shine.

One of the best marvel projects ever honestly, was blown away how good it was

[@nathansnyder96]

I say this as a guy who wasn't a big fan of the '90s cartoon; I am dumbfounded by how much I ended up loving X-Men '97 so much

[@GamerSlyRatchet1]

As someone who technically grew up with X-Men: TAS but wasn't super into it, I really enjoyed X-Men 97. Between that, Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, and to and extent Hit-Monkey, I'm glad Marvel's making interesting animation again. Also, I'll never understand the drawback towards the Young Justice revival. It's basically the same show (for both better and worse) with slightly worse animation.

Personally, I feel you are being too harsh on Call Dodd. Can he do the same Wolverine voice he did back in the 90's? No. Can he still do a good Wolverine voice in a more general sense. Yes. Considering how hit-and-miss that kind of stuff can be (for comparison, I don't think Mark Hamill has sounded great as the Joker for a decade or so), the returning X-Men cast was overall pretty darn good in their respective roles.

[@subject8793]

that's fair! i dont really hjave that with hamil, i think Dodd is way more noticeable.

[@modbz]

I always read Logan with a deeper voice anyway, closer to Steve Blum or Scott McNeil, so his lower pitch worked for me.

[@Geekvolution]

The thicker accent is what made it sillier to me but now I think maybe that's what it always should have sounded like.

[@Maxbass700]

Nah, that 8 but remix is great but still hurts

[@gjjijji]

Sorry forgot to say this, the reason the mental block thing works for storm’s arc and not Spiderman was because NOTHING physical happened to Spiderman to cause a mental block. If I was a great basketball player and I lost my ability to walk and healed it would take me a while to mentally be able to play again

[@thoarnejones6805]

That’s gotta be in movies too right????

[@RexColt]

So great to not have Austin on this. Austin has completely ruined this channel and makes every video hes in unwatchable. I hope they use this John guy more.

[@theghostofmeatloaf6198]

I hate that guy. Why is he on every video.

[@thomasmurphy8187]

It's cool that people got a continuation of 90's X Men that worked. I have no desire see X Men 97. I like the original show and everyone's probably right about the new one being good. I personally don't need any more and am fine with giving it a miss.

[@gjjijji]

So you was just curious what cap would say?

[@thomasmurphy8187]

@@gjjijji More or less. I'm pretty burned out on most superhero content that's coming out currently. But I still want to have a general idea on what the overall feedback is.

[@itsxtray]

​@thomasmurphy8187 I'd recommend just watching some clips on youtube then. Especially of Magneto's speech in episode 2 and some of the cool fought scenes.

[@gjjijji]

@@itsxtray i think he should just watch episode 2 as a whole because the context makes the scene 10x better

[@MichaelMcCallister097]

I kind of had the same mindset but the show blew my expectations away. It’s a legitimately great show. Don’t even worry about not having seen the original show.
