I love how Cyclops and Wolverine are sent towards Magneto - One who is weak to Magneto's power and the other is the only one capable of actually hurting Mr. Sinister. And on the other team is Morph and Cable. Morph being the one who still suffers from Sinister-PTSD, and Cable being the weak to Sinister's powers. Like these matchups are probably the worst possible.

Yeah... as Mr. Stark once said "not a great plan"

[@jflores85]

Wolverine landed what could have been the kill strike but...

[@dagalitreech]

You guys, he didn’t put his greatest enemy in charge. He put his greatest friend; whom he knew would protect mutant kind in his absence. And that where would there be conflict amongst mutants if they were all together? Magneto created genosha and that was Charles dream. Y’all gotta stop looking at it as villian and hero. These are humans with mutant abilities

[@SGALAXIA]

Not in the eyes ofMagnus, they are gods.

[@ViktorEBoss]

Bingo 💯

[@aquelegabriel]

​@@SGALAXIA try to walk in Magneto's shoes for a second. He wasn't betrayed just by Bastion. The UN lady was ACTIVELY working with him. He went willingly to the UN and was spared only because people tried to kill him there, and almost removed storm's powers forever. The amount of times human leaders attacked mutants AFTER they lay down their arms is numberless. Can you blame him for not believing in living together, after being backstabbed that many times? After going out of his way to live his life without threatening humans AT ALL. Also, his attack on the magnetosphere wasn't just an attack on mankind. This saved mutants all over the world. The sentinels were hunting mutants, remember? The X-MEN couldn't defeat them. What chance did the random mutants with no training had? It was a slaughter. The X-Men are alive BECAUSE magneto did that. And once he reverses what he did, the sentinels go back to hunting Mutants. See, Xavier is risking the lives of ALL mutants to protect humans (that's why Cyclops stops Xavier). Magneto is risking the lives of all humans to protect mutants. How is one more "moral" than the other, really?

[@dagalitreech]

@@SGALAXIA ok and I support his logic. I would Fashoo be with magneto from day one. Maybe X-men trained me but once I met him I’d be over there lol

🧲 Magneto was showing Wolverine Mercy the Whole Time

[@anthonygordon9483]

I feel he showed a lot of the X-Men mercy. To be honest this is the first time he tried to ruthless kill them. He was about to smash professors x head with his helmet. Magneto has always been some what of a coward when it came to facing professor x. Which is why he use to recruit mutants to do his dirty work. When it came to x-men, he wanted them to die, but never by his own hand. This is the first time he doesnt care doing by his own hand.

[@Chad0023]

I always thought he could slit all their throats with a swipe of a finger but chooses to be non lethal

[@franchescamayialmonte1303]

Yes, but I think that comes both ways. Right then and there, Wolverine could have slashed Magneto in half, and it is not the first time he had the chance, and obviously magneto is magneto.

[@aquelegabriel]

​@@franchescamayialmonte1303 yeah, I don't think wolverine was trying to be non-lethal there, bud. He just failed. You don't impale people if you want them to live after that. I also don't think Magnus was crushing Xavier's head with the helmet. I don't see the helmet deforming. I think Charles screams more out of frustration than pain. I honestly think the X-Men are the wrong ones here. Did Magneto cross a line by removing the magnetic shield of the entire planet? Yes. But he had a reason for that: stopping the sentinels that were actively hunting mutants all over the planet. How many mutants magneto saved with that stunt? To start, basically all X-Men. Remember, it's easy for Charles to play the honourable one here. Magneto was the one watching the death. Magneto was the one being tortured and experimented on.

[@aquelegabriel]

​@@anthonygordon9483 oh, and btw, Xavier hides behind his X-Men all the time. The guy has the capacity to ACTUALLY solve all the problems on earth. He's the most powerful telepath in the universe. He could've forced the leaders of the anti-mutant cause to change their minds and abandon their irrational fears of mutants. But he's too afraid to use his power. Xavier is an asshole. He respects the "rights" of people to hate mutants and defend their deaths. Because he's one of the few people who can, actually, erase hateful ideologies from existence. But he refuses to. He prefers to allow mutants to die than for him to act in a "not moral" way by actually using his powers to stop slaughters.

One thing no one seems to be catching is Bastion saying to his mom's prime form, "It's finally quiet."

It better not end on a cliffhanger, or I'll be upset. I hate when shows end the season on a cliffhanger. The original series seasons never ended on a cliffhanger. It's one thing to end an episode on a cliffhanger, in which you only have to wait a week for the resolution, but ending a season on a cliffhanger, in which you have to wait possibly years for the next season, is just unnecessarily cruel.

Seeing Logan attack Magneto from behind stabbing him in the ribs and just talking to him instead of finishing the job reminded me a lot of Thor's dialogue with Thanos in Infinity War. "You should've gone for the head." Logan had the perfect opportunity to capitalize and didn't, Magneto saw this and made Logan pay in the worst way possible.

[@fade680]

They need to keep Magneto alive to have him reverse the Earth’s magnetic fields.

[@yusefflowers6260]

Saw this comment on Heavy Spoilers a few hours ago....

[@Astrovite]

Honestly it's kind of a dumb move for Magneto though. I know it's comic accurate but if you think about it Magneto has the most control over Wolverine when he has his adamantium. He can literally puppet Wolverine because of that. So to remove it, knowing he has a beastly healing factor, seems impulsive. I wouldn't be surprised if following that scene Magneto puts the adamantium back into Logan to suspend the torture.

[@terenceflagg6270]

[@OurKindofEntertainment]

I agree about Jubilee's powers still being so generic! After Episode 4, I thought her fight against the Magneto in the video game would've gotten a callback in this episode! Most people say it's the weakest of the entire season (myself included) so seeing a key moment of the episode coming into play in the penultimate episode would've been nice! Also, Magneto said she'd be better off learning to master her abilities to survive in a world that would have her exterminated. So, her taking his words to heart and learning more about her powers to get the better of him during this fight would've been great!

[@chrisnicholson3231]

When Jubilee and Roberto started fighting, I thought she might seriously hurt him as the strength of her powers increases when she's emotional. But now I wonder if she held back because she still has feelings for him. It would be interesting to know what the writers were thinking. Would be really cool to see her cut loose and inflict some major damage on a sentinel or something bigger.

[@matthewwest6039]

A couple things: Morph's suit is the exact suit of his later Exiles run, not the AoA suit, minus the yellow cape. Scott played a significant role in Magneto ripping out Wolverines skeleton here b/c Scott is the one that blasts Xavier's chair b/c the gold team needs more time.

I don't think she's saying that. She's saying Xavier never cared for them. That he's so absorbed in his dream of "peace" that he's willing to sacrifice everyone for that. Is that, really, peace? Basically, she's saying that "peace" is not worthy if the price is the sacrifice of their loved ones. In a way, Roberto's mother also chose "peace" when she told him to not fight against the sentinels. Wasn't that the only "peaceful" solution there? Peace in the face of discrimination and injustice isn't really peace. It's oppression. Subjugation.

Theory about Cable: Maybe the reason he's so easily manipulated by Sinister and is unwilling to put in more effort to time travel to stop the Genosha event is because he's actually Stryfe and that's how they're adapting _his_ existence into the series?

He was no longer nearly invincible, his healing factor didn't work for several months, he actually felt human and had to learn to adapt. Plus it for the first time confirmed his claws were a part of his mutant power. I'm so excited to see where this goes. Plus the fact they ripped the final moment right from the comic.

[@gamerdaddyomg5224]

@@matthewhostetter8974I never saw his claws as a mutant power. How I interpreted the Fatal Attractions aftermath was that Wolverine had an excess of adamantium ending in his hands that became claws. Over time, his bones adapted with the excess adamantium and he was able to deploy the adapted bones as bone claws that never existed before the Weapon X surgery. I still remember the first issue after where he popped out the bone claws, and how much pain it showed him, that his healing powers masked when it was fully active and not over maxed with healing the rest of the body.

[@matthewhostetter8974]

@@gamerdaddyomg5224 This is an interesting theory but we've learned over time that his bone claws have always been a part of his mutation, in fact, he manifested his claws before his healing factor. We've also learned that he's always in pain every time his claws pop. Something passed to even his children Lauren, Daken and Gabby.

[@cat8506]

@@matthewhostetter8974 in the original show i don't think they are considered to be a part of his mutation. when the x men go to the savage lands in season 2 to save prof X and magneto everyone's powers are disabled by sinister but wolverine whips out his claws and says something like "there's nothing mutant about these". though i suppose it could be a similar scenario to beast or nightcrawler, in that disabling his powers is not going to have him transform into a human again

[@matthewhostetter8974]

@@cat8506 Of course they didn't there, There was still a lot about Wolverine we didn't know back then. Fatal Attraction happened during what might have been seasons 2-3. So the writers didn't know. Hell, we didn't even get Wolverine's true origins till after the show was over. But ironically no X-men cartoon ever really handled his claws being bone. Not till the movies themselves. It's just crazy to think we are getting this moment now and I'm all for it. People always complained Wolverine was too powerful and to much of the "face" of the show. Now we get the see a side of him we only saw in the comics.

I need more and longer episodes. This series has me hooked. It has been a while since I have been this excited for a series!

THANK YOU FOR SAYING “REVERTING TO” instead of “reverting back to” 😂🤙🏽👍🏽👏🏽

Cable also wears the blue in Marvel Vs Capcom 2. 😁

19:55 No one even pointed out that when Storm got her powers back they gave her the theme song from the 90s Hulk, Rouge goes at Ross, and Cap, now we have MorphSmash!

[@Vascocho12]

The way I audibly gasped many times on this episode 😭😭

Is it me or does the tchalla image in the intro look like the Tchalla from the upcoming black panther game

That storm and jean line "let them mindyour weather and them weather your mind" is just so good

[@kyskys.]

holy the animation is so damn good! seeing nightcrawler’s teleportation in combat is so beautiful. jean and sinisters fight was top tier. all around amazing episode.

[@mauricior.5309]

Looking forward all day on your take on this epic episode 🙌🏽

[@Ryanthebrobdingnagian]

Fatal attractions hurt me when i was a kid. I loved it. Still have the comic.

[@trevorthai1685]

I loved the line between Storm and Jean in this episode before they battle, it shows so much clever writing and respect the show has for these characters and their abilities.

[@mtwo5277]

Sinister didn't use the car to Sheild himself under it. He was actually traveling through the shadows. The car casted a shadow on the floor that he used to travel through. Kind of like Wanda traveling via reflections in Dr Strange

[@ILoveRedPandas95]

When we see Morph with his updated suit (no jacket with shoulder pads) he's made his body more muscular showing that he wants to be stronger and not just who he morphs into Also my boyfriend showed me a picture from a comics where Professor X is The Ghost Rider where on the cover he wears a blanket over his legs similar to the one he has on him as he looks through the destroyed mansion

[@ScreenCrush]

What did you think of the episode?

[@videomaxx9]

I’m at a loss of words especially the ending!

[@TheHeartBatmanMcgeeKid]

Episode 9 had me on the edge of my seat. Morph turning into Hulk made me "Pop"!

[@J_West_Reviews]

As soon as I saw Wolverine fighting magneto, I was like SC was right! Wolverines about to get wrecked😅

[@nicholasgarrick8855]

The ending had me speechless I can't believe they recreate such iconic scenes from fatal attraction comic every week this show continues to blow me away each week.

[@kenroycherrington148]

Awsome

[@CoolDee933]

3:20 at for I thought my phone was ringing while watching this video 😂😂😂

[@IAmMightyMike]

I love how Rogue scoffs at all the times Jean dies only for her to supposedly die again

[@bytethis]

Since the Genosha episode, every time Remy is mentioned I well up, was always a Gambit boy, the Wolverine ademantium extraction wasn’t that surprising since Magnus is clearly at his end

[@babs4uic]

Same. I’m hoping he comes back at some point… even if as a Horseman

[@dorkboy311]

There we go. The good upload. Thanks guys!

[@tzarro]

As that final scene was building, I'm saying to myself "they're gonna do it! They're gonna do it!". It was amazing

[@markhalver3391]

20:25 Hey Doug, Morph can only replicate physical powers not psionic ones from what I understand

[@Lamq555]

ROGUE IN THAT GREEN & WHITE COSTUME!!! 💚🤍🤩

[@Mrashxking]

I've been thinking that Mr Sinister messed with morphs powers and that's how he's able to do what he does now

[@jimcounts8124]

That makes sense. Sinister has “unlocked” other mutants powers before. Like when he gave Gambit the power to charge things by sight alone

[@calebbandy5196]

Thanks for the shoutout Ryan! You made my year! Been a fan since the beginning, and X-Men 97’ is hands down Marvel’s best project, and has me even more hyped for Deadpool & Wolverine. Can’t wait to see you cover more videos about X-Men as well as everything in the future coming up! Much love to you, Doug, and the gang at Screencrush!

[@woke1340]

These episodes have gotten so much better in the past 3 weeks. Pulling the adimantium out of Wolverine in the episode is next level

Who else screamed out wtf!!

Well, I didn't scream but I definitely shouted 😅

After I watch each week’s episode, I come here to see what I missed and learn about whatever lore I didn’t know. Thank you guys for covering this show, and the community you are creating. The themes, messages, action, animation, performances, writing, it’s all uncanny. This show means a lot to a lot of people and you guys really care about it as much as the community does. Just wanted to say thank you guys for doing an awesome job on covering this show and doing what you guys do!

25:44 because Wolverine was the only one who could really give a fatal blow to Magneto. That's why he was in that mission, even Rogue says he is there to k*ll.

[@Astrovite]

I think Jubilee will definitely figure out how to fly in the finale. She mentioned it in part 1 and seemed like she tried to use her powers to propel herself when she straight up jumped off the building. And then with Simulated old Jubilee in the Mojo episode, showing Main Jubilee that she's capable of so much more with her powers. Maybe Jubilee will end up catching Roberto as he falls. I know he can fly but maybe he ends up with a dampener and falls or something. And that love she feels is what makes her ability to fly click. Also Magneto definitely crimped the helmet to Charles' head to prevent him from using his powers at all. If the helmet can shield the target from attack, then logically it would stop the attacker from being able to target. If that makes sense.

[@abigailaceves9230]

This episode is crazy insane, but the part where Magneto says Shut Up to Charles just gets me.

I'm loving xmen 97 I also love your channel explaining all the references

[@dreadlord9257]

Just a small correction - Beast says in the episode that the Sentinels are likely powered by Bastion's technokinetic powers. Also, yeah the Wolverine thing. Great scene/comic. Still makes no sense why they would knowingly and intentionally send him against Magneto. It'd be one thing if they were facing an unknown threat only to realize it is Magneto when they arrive...but if you know out of the gate? That's just poor planning.

Been LOVING this! I love watching your reviews on this and so far, we have been 1 on 1 seeing the same easter eggs. I also recorded the eps when I was younger... watched them till the tape started taring at the top and bottom🤣 Doug, take care or your dad. I LOVE you both! ... From South Africa.

Rogue's costume felt more like it was taken from her green hoodie style outfit.
