I swear, whenever he gets swords, Nightcrawler gets his coolest moments, in any kind of media

[@Krooksbane]

MUA 1 *Edit: Wasn’t Dr.Doom a cameo in this episode? Did the writers leave an Easter egg, for Nightcrawler? 🤨

[@tobubiify]

Oh THAT's why they hyped it up a bit in that scene

[@Lancersilva]

I can’t wait to see em in a movie someday

[@ul8532]

He's a master swordsman so it fits xD

[@khloiotaku6073]

Kurt here is like, the perfect version of Nightcrawler so far. He is the comfort character and retains the religious aspect of his character while also being a bit goofy. He loves Rogue and supports and cares for his sister whenever he can. And when it comes to fights, I love seeing Kurt fight with swords. Especially 3 swords. Showing off what he learned during his time in the circus. And using his teleportation creatively during the fight. I havent watched the original 97 show, but this version of kurt makes me want to so I can also appreciate the story of this continuation, you know? He's just so good!

[@alexism9656]

He doesn't show up much in the original unfortunately. Only two episodes

[@Rinoavalentine]

There’s not much to his original appearance. He’s still nice and religious. He doesn’t have the friendly camaraderie with the other X-Men he does here since he doesn’t stick around. No awesome swordplay. Xmen 97 is peak Nightcrawler, as you said, the best we have ever gotten since the old comics and probably will ever get.

"No my friend. Nine." I love me some double entendre. For those who might have missed it, Kurt is of course German. "Nine" could easily be "nein" or "no/none" instead. He could be telling Wolverine that he has NINE reasons, or he has NO reason to quit. GOD that's good sht.

I also like that he's looking in the direction that he's teleporting. I don't know how it's supposed to work in the comics, but I always remember that line from X-Men 2.

They nailed his teleporting fighting style in X2 They got his sometimes timid and goofy personality in evolution This is the perfect Nightcrawler. Sick teleportation tricks, classical music on blast, quippy and caring but also badass in a fight (and he has his swords)

[@motor4X4kombat]

Singer incel: x-men is nothing without wolverine. Cyclops, morph, gambit, storm, rogue and now nightcrawler: hold our X-gen.

[@mobbcentral4675]

I’ll admit I used to be that guy and I would just like to say Apologies my X-men I was unfamiliar with your game

[@winterlight652]

u mean X-GIN? (sry but i had to do it 😅)

[@alnu8355]

To be fair, Wolverine is possibly the biggest reason why the X-Men are so beloved and popular to this day. They'd be pretty obscure if he never joined their roster. All the same, Brian Singer was never the best choice to helm the X-Film adaptations. And you are correct, the other X-Men are pretty damn special. The OG animated X-Men series was always great because every kid I knew growing up had their own personal favorite. It felt like an essemble cast rather than "Wolverine and friends." Gambit was my favorite. 😢 It's okay everyone...there was only one way our favorite card slinging Cajun could have every gone out...by going ALL in.

[@motor4X4kombat]

@@alnu8355 yeah thats the thing, since day one was always a essemble cast, even or without wolverine popularity. The most popular character in the fantastic four is the thing, but not every single darn story is about the thing.

[@xrpbible]

Damn, Wolverine went beast mode but Nightcrawler stole the show 💪🏾💯

[@IoriGaara]

[@blackraven3436]

X-men97 has officially beaten the Evolution adaptation. Nightcrawler's circus tricks and his teleportation in battle are finally displayed on screen after all these years.

[@matthewk122]

At first why Kurt said nine, but I remember he got hands and tail with swords

[@charlesvincentyu2439]

also considering how the show wants to emulate 90s wit/campiness, it's also probably a German joke

[@thomashelmka6438]

SOOOO many Kurt signature moves. The attacks that are as much about disorienting foes as doing damage. That beautiful landing pose. The tactical mind set "We must get them away from Rogue!" and then 1-2-3 Sents are just gone (Probably dropped somewhere up to 2 miles away) and the last one gets bamfed along with Logan and we get an epic ride along! and lastly we see Kurt sweating-this took some effort. Also perfect music choice!./Chef's kiss

[@kazumasumeragi3666]

As a UMVC Player I approve 1:06 HYPER COMBO KO

[@trygon_stingray]

Can we talk about Nightcrawler’s theme? The shades of Beethoven’s Fifth while he’s swashbuckling away… This feels like a nod to X2’s White House scene, while also handling Nightcrawler in a spirit much truer to his ‘80s Excalibur incarnation. I love it!

[@marcusc9931]

[@amashizaino]

Now THIS is the swashbuckling fuzzy elf we all know and love. Heck yeah! And I love that they gave us a view of what it's like to be teleported by him. I mean...oof... no wonder people get disoriented and usually puke the first couple times 'porting with him. Yay for healing factors eh Logan? 😅

[@rickcasaday1815]

Finally, they put the real Nightcrawler into a TV show or movie. Now was that so hard?

[@ryanangelastro504]

X2 Nightcrawler was pretty cool. For the White House scene anyway. But you’re right.

[@attabooii]

@@ryanangelastro504 yeah but that nightcrawler wasn't even conscious for that scene. And I think the movies make him far too serious and religious. Like the scarification is so out of character. And the newer movie nightcrawler just makes him look a little too pathetic. Nightcrawler is a charming swashbuckler! His nickname is Elf for a reason! He's funny, charismatic, and has learned to be confident in his own skin (as of the later runs)

[@CollinMcLean]

@@attabooii Wolverine and the X-Men nightcrawler?

[@attabooii]

@@CollinMcLean I did love WatX Nightcrawler! He was definitely a badass swashbuckler and he was a massive improvement. And I loved his romance with scarlet witch. But I did miss a lot of his humor and jokes. That version definitely seemed very serious. But I did love that he got a bunch of standalone episodes I think before Xmen 97, Evolution and WatX were the closest, but Evolution was too much of a jokester and wasn't badass enough and WatX was badass but needed more levity. 97 is a great mix of both while keeping his religious wisdom. I think Nightcrawler is a hard character to pin down cause he has multiple facets to him that different people find compelling. So it's hard to have an adaptation that checks all the boxes!

[@minicle426]

​​​​​​​​​@@attabooii TAS? Which is supposed to be the same version. 🤷‍♂️ It's just that being in more episodes allowed them the chance to flesh out his other traits more, since the two he featured in during the original run were more focussed on heavier themes. The first his religious upbringing, the second his relationship with his mother and stepbrother. Since then he's been introduced to more of his kind and no longer feels alone like he used too. So the direction 97 went with his character is pretty much the next logical step in his development.

[@monsterking1973]

This was such a badass moment

[@sethmiles9436]

Wow, so if Magneto hadn't turned off the worlds magnetic pull/energy they would have all died. Well expected for Wolvy.

[@zanarkandace6821]

He’s similar, but the dude in the game has a ponytail and shorts. But I can see the similarities

[@LarryBonson]

I wouldn't call that a reference since it was a typical 90's look.

[@LarryBonson]

This reminds me of Nightcrawler fight cutscene in Marvel Ultimate Alliance in Dr. Doom Castle.

[@kayaanbedi5554]

[@PhantoRoyce]

Totally missed opportunity for him to say“nein my friend,nine”

[@martinmcneal2778]

These Sentinels are definitely tougher than the OG brand. They have regeneration that is just absurd, considering they pick up and put their own head back on

Kurt hit em with that oh imma bout to cook stare

[@kardulla]

I have a dnd character. He's a tiefling echo knight/arcane trickster. His figjting style is basically this. Pop in, stab with a rapier, teleport away, leave a series of illusions that make apparent that whatever you were attacking, the actual man was about 90 feet away. This was a good clip for me.

Also, I thought it was cool how we got to see how it's like when Kurt uses his teleworking power when Logan was still attached to that bad guy (sentinel?). It's a really cool effect! 😮

[@Nicolas-gj8yg]

The MvC series has had featured: Cyclops, Wolverine, Storm, Psylocke, Iceman, Colossus, Rogue, Gambit, Marrow, Cable, X-23, Phoenix and Jubilee as an assist character in the first Marvel vs Capcom. Nightcrawler, Emma Frost and Quicksilver deserves a spot in those games, I hope we could see another entry in the next years.
