In the comics, Rogue gets intense migraines whenever the inhibitor collar is on her. Most mutants have very bad side effects from it because it's suppressing who they truly are.

I'm actually glad that the writers were able to expedite Madelyne Pryor's decent into the Goblin Queen, it really reminds me of the idiom "hell hath no fury like a woman scorned". The moment Scott saw Jean, he immediately looked at Madelyne like he was questioning his life decisions.

I just found it odd that she created her own nickname (Goblin Queen) and real name (Madelyn Prior) without really knowing who she truly is in 15mins.

[@bbbrrr000ccckkk1]

I’m not sure it matters WHEN the Jeans were swapped but rather HOW they were swapped. Both Jeans are telepathic and could be subconsciously sharing memories all along as some part of Sinister’s design.

[@StridentCandy35]

I loved when morph changed to his OG self for a second I honestly miss that style

[@diegoferro7801]

It’s interesting how this season everyone has a developing story happening, but Wolverine is just like living in the middle of everything with no apparent story for him going forward, mostly references to his past.

[@UNFITTED1]

I bet it's intentionally because we have been given Wolverine stories to an extreme extent that anymore will feel like the character is used to death. Time for a break from him and others to take the forefront.

[@bryce253]

How about Wolverine was never the central character of the X-Men until the FOX X-MEN movies.... SURPRISE!!! The actual X-Men is not about just Wolverine and mutant sidekicks. This is much more aligned with Marvel X-Men where the narratives were balanced across all the team members.

[@justingoers]

I'm soooooooooo glad Wolverine is more in the background. He's the focus of a ton of the original TAS and the movies leaned way, WAY too hard on him. He's been done to death. So glad we're getting focus on other characters.

[@KnightRaymund]

​@@bryce253 he did still have the most solo or duo adventures in the original series

[@happytimes10191]

[@vandalistica]

I can't believe what they managed to squeeze in this episode without it sucking. Nice.

[@bjornvo]

It felt way too rushed for me - this should've been the whole seasons arc, not just one episode.

[@cammyr12Productions]

Yes it was fast paced without being clunky or bloated

[@blazehokage3609]

Nah we didn’t need a whole season on the Madelyn saga. So glad they finished it in this episode

[@UNFITTED1]

Could've used a 2 episode arc/ to be continued but this episode did what it needed to do without feeling forced.

[@MrBuketman]

@@blazehokage3609I totally agree. They seem to be hitting the points while keeping the story on a mostly clear path. The original story could get confusing at times when I was a casual viewer back in the day

[@jimzle]

When Jubilee and Sunspot get spooked when the tv character starts talking to them it is also reminiscent of Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors when Freddy talks to the girl who wants to be an actor through the tv, then grabs her from the tv when she comes closer to investigate.

[@davidpeabody-diez692]

Yeah, the music cue before the shower room scene was also reminiscent of the Nightmare on Elm Street score and directly references that shower room scene from part 2. Also indirectly referencing the 1988 film Twins through the actor Marshall Bell. Cable/Stryfe.

Magik is my favorite Xmen of all time! Im so glad she got to make an appearance even if it was just morph.

[@tko3779]

Magik must exist in universe if Morph changed into her. Would love a spinoff of New Mutants.

[@ProfessorZoom2140]

She does exist in the series, they showed her several times in the original. But only as Illyana, not Magik. So it is kinda confusing how Morph is able to turn into mutants he either never met or mutants who weren't fully established yet, like Magik. To be fair, he did these things in the original too. I remember him turning randomly into Deadpool and Omega Red. I guess they use him as a meta Easter egg machine.

[@DrunkenShellback]

[@markfields5214]

Inferno is one of if not my favorite crossover story. This is probably the best way to do this story in a much smaller way.

[@jakec9522]

The Phalanx works. But I think it's more likely that Jean was swapped out at the end of Beyond Good and Evil. That was originally supposed to be the finale of the show. And it gave Sinister an opportunity while Apocalypse was occupied. Also, every psychic was contained at the moment. So there would've been nobody to sense what he was doing. I think Xavier might have sensed something if it happened in the Phalanx story. But that's just my theory.

[@Destroyerslight]

This makes sense. I feel like the professor would have been able to sense if Jean went unconscious.

[@mattcliburn]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RYAN!!

[@AlbAlPasa]

MP calling herself Goblin Queen made no sense without the demon storyline.

[@Defiler82]

Noticed that Jean's toy of fluffy cyclopes monster is a hint in the OG series for her falling for Cyclopes (when she return to her home as the dark phoenix back in season 3 I think) but the same fluff toy is shown in the flashback. Nice touch.

[@123rvr]

I think you missed the Easter egg where Jean's childhood toy was a cyclops get it cyclops22:56

[@rtuggle82]

That Cyclops toy was also in the Dark Phoenix episode part 3 where she visited her parents home.

[@TheRealRevelation]

When he stuff like, around 8:40, maybe Sinister didn’t clone Jean but maybe just used Jean to create a clone… I don’t think the writers of this video were putting that much effort into this.

[@davidmaynard7473]

I think the techno virus in the episode is different from the legacy virus seen in the original series. It appears similar but they aren’t. You can also see this as Beast has tested both viruses and would have the cure if it were the legacy virus as he got it from Wolverine in the original series.

[@CBoxStudios]

Did the part where Beast explicitly stated it's a new version of the virus give it away for you?

Apocalypse helped Sinister become what he is..Which is weird because Age of Apocalypse he was a horseman and Apocalypse only chose mutants for that

[@MrBuketman]

This series is checking all the boxes. Damn good.

[@dsalvatier]

I think Sinister got his hands on Jean and her genetic material during the “Beyond Good and Evil” arc in season 4. He could’ve used Apocalypse’s power over time to speed up the cloning process. So the Jean that participated in the fall of Apocalypse was Madelyne Pryor.

[@damienkakoschke3099]

It was a nice touch that during the Jean/Madelyne interface, there are shards of broken glass. At the end of Inferno, once the Goblin Queen is defeated but Jean is still linked to her, Storm, Psylocke & Rogue join the Goblin Queen/Marvel Girl mind link & see a mind scape of glass shards, each one a memory of either Jean or Madelyne (Psylocke is there to link into telepathic bond & Rogue is there incase her experience dealing with multiple personalities when she uses her powers might help Jean deal with what she's experiencing with Madelyne). As each shard is destroyed, Jean loses that memory. Eventually as Madelyne dies & the two have come to some resolution, Jean absorbs both of their memories to fully embrace the role of wife & mother to Scott & Nathan. The name Madelyne Pryor is apparently a little joke of Sinisters, Madelyne as in her "Made her" & Pryor as in she had a prior existance as Jean Grey.

[@aaronbrown9110]

I can't lie... I cried 😢. Phenomenal writing 🫡

[@jaimec1596]

The original series arc with the techno virus was also a spin on the comics legacy virus arc, which was an alegory to the AIDS crisis in the 90's.

[@cheeseburger347]

When she said call me Madeline Pryor I almost laughed out loud. Man it feels like this show is written by the writer of Axe Cop. It’s so bizarre and surreal and over the top.

[@luisgallego7422]

Regarding when Jean is replaced, I think her hair style is an indication, the real Jean always wears a pony tail when in costume but Madelyn let her hair down. You can see that once Jean wakes up a feels Scott is in danger she pulls up her hair and makes a pony tail. At the end of the episode that is how distinguish them both. In the original series, their hair changes in the last season, with the new cheaper episodes showing jean with her hair down which I always thought it was interesting change and maybe more a nod to her comic book counterpart.

[@alexhilke4763]

Jean was swapped out when Sinister and Apocalypse abducted her and the other telepaths.

[@newageBoundhippie]

definitely think Sinister cloned & swapped Jean either before the psychics were freed in the Beyond Good & Evil arc or as you mentioned, during a brief window in the Phalanx Covenant 2-parter also we've met other members of the New Mutants in the original show. Wolfsbane was with the rest of X-Factor in the episode Cold Comfort. Obviously she's likely to remain with that team rather than become a New Mutant in this series but still. And in the episode No Mutant Is An Island, where Scott goes back to his old orphanage after the Phoenix Saga, the young mutants he saves from Kilgrave include Rusty, Skids and Boom-Boom/Boomer/Meltdown.

[@tomcurl8034]

I really hope this version of Madelyn is able to forge her own identity instead of losing her mind and dying, and that she and Jean are able to coexist without things being awkward as hell

[@IAmCasster]

I might be mis remembering this but when Madelyne and Jean were fighting, Madelyne said "I was the Phoenix" and then Jean says "all you remember is power" or something like that, it made it seem as though Madelyne remembers being the Phoenix, with her encircled with flames, and Jean not having those memories, which would make it likely that Mr Sinister cloned Jean before the Phoenix Saga

[@JRosa-pk4ze]

That’s what I thought too. It never showed that the original Jean had the power of the phoenix or aware of it. She didn’t know how big this power was.

[@sophiawilson8696]

Not necessarily Jean performs a mind melted not sure who did what?. Look at Besty Brodrick/Knwannon storyline and Psylock/Revanance.

[@nicholasgarrick8855]

This was an amazing episode. It's probably my favorite one from horror like tone to just the animation in the action everything is perfect 10/10.

Noticed that both Jeans had different tones of skin color. BUT the Jean on the couch somehow had had more of a tan despite being in a dungeon for however long. I don’t know what that means though lol

Young jean grey is shown holding a cyclops plushie; the mythical monsters, not the x-man. This is the same plush doll she found in season 3's dark pheonix saga when she returns to her childhood home. Also a cute nod to the idea that she's always loved all things cyclops

[@scruffd0g193]

This was a horror episode, so dark, Magneto getting cut baldy, demons, jump scares, a baby in that bad condition

[@brotherdeimos]

The Bishop-Cyclops combination might be a nod to their fight during Civil War where Bishop is part of the Government trying to capture the remaining mutants after M-Day and Cyclops intercepted him. The fight ended up with Cyclops hitting Bishop with a full blast of his Optic Blast and even asks him how much can he handle. That was an awesome fight.

[@kamenrangerzeo8251]

I thought the episode was very good but my only little gripe is that the retcon a lot of elements from the previous seasons such as season 3 to season 5. The reason why I say this is because the way that they took this story idea to introduce Madeline Pryor, the mother of cable and basically Jean Gray's clone, is that Jean was replaced during the events of season 2 and that Madeline Pryor was acting out as Jean Grey during the Phoenix Saga and the rest of the way during graduation day episode. Which doesn't make much sense since Sinister would have realized that this was the clone of Jean Grey when apocalypse was in control of the Nexus and had all of the mutant psychics at his disposal to try and control all the reality.

I think Mr Sinister switched Jean during the Beyond Good and Evil series. He was in the Axis of Time, so had unlimited time to perfect cloning, grow a clone and would have a chance to switch Jeans. This would explain why Beast found that the clone was younger than the real Jean; aging wouldn’t be the same in the Axis of Time, Sinister could have sped up the clones growth and it goes to normal when back in real time. Apocalypse said he spent a century there, learning its secrets and said he didn’t need his chamber anymore.

This show is so taking me back to early 90s uncanny x-men and early Jim Lee x-men combined. I’m loving this. 👍🏻 I just hope Disney doesn’t fudge it up in the future.

[@ZedKaizoku]

I think Jean Grey was switched by Mr.Sinister either during season04 "Beyond good and evil episodes or Season 05 " The Phalanx Covenant" episodes. Thats my personal opinion, both were aware of the phoenix power good and dark due had their peak telepath level when Jean and Madelyne fought each other... either the switch by Sinster was done where had opportunity in season 04 Beyond good and evil episodes due Apocalypse and Mr.Sinister capturing telepath or during Season 05 "The Phalanx Covenant " when he was helping or runing swtich Jean Grey with Madelyne Pryor.

[@coldfire22]

Great episode. My only negative for it is the pacing. In the original this would have been a 3 parter. Feels rushed and because of that a few things felt off. Like Madelyne naming herself. Would have been ok had we had a hint that her childhood friend was named Madeylne or something like that, but we didn't. And her naming herself Goblin Queen. Weird. Now, I'm NOT hating. I loved the episode. But criticism isn't hating.

​@@KaijuAKDwhat marvel formula?

They condensed a few huge storylines in the comics into 1 episode. Madelyne Pryor, Cable’s origin, and Inferno. And… they did a pretty good job! I definitely don’t like Magneto getting top billing and Cyclops relinquishing lead of the team so easily. That don’t really track with his character - but I suppose it makes sense he was letting go of the reins because he was planning to leave the team. Also there shoulda been some mention of why Bishop can't bring Nathan back once he's cured. Anyways the showrunners doing almost the best job anyone can. Overall great show so far!

The shower scene is flirtatious at the beginning. Is why the vision of Logan tell Morph, "we know." Morph was "jokingly" talking about scratching Logan's "hard to reach spots." He's constantly around Logan, because he has unrequited feelings for him like Logan does for Jean.

*They but sure

I thought it was John Byrne who was the one who wanted to revive Jean, which is why it was done in his Fantastic Four book.

Damn! That hint to Cable theme brilliant I did not even catch that. Great work

This should have been an event like a 3 part episode,they just rushed it in 1 episode

[@wanderingthedesert5599]

I agree that there should be more of a build-up, though to be honest, the run-time of these episodes is closer to 1-1/2 length episode of the OG series.

[@wanderingthedesert5599]

I think that Jean was swapped out in Beyond Good and Evil, however The Phalanx Covenant makes more sense and for these reasons: Apocalypse is "Dead" at this point and wouldn't be able to foresee Sinister's betrayal (assuming this happens in a manner similar to the comics), whereas during Beyond Good and Evil, he controls the Axis of Time for a while. It would've been impossible to hide one's secret intentions if that were the case. So, I'm thinking that you're correct.

THANKS for such a thorough then-and-now, ScreenCrush Gang!!!!

[@KevinPayano]

Happy belated birthday dude keep up the awesome work

[@dewforpolitics]

It was likely in season 4, when Mr. Sinister teamed up with Apocalypse and Magneto that he was able to clone Jean Grey, after kidnapping her in the four part episode “beyond good and evil”

They adapted inferno really well for what it was. Tied it really nice in a half hour, I'm really digging this reboot.

Can’t wait to see how or when Maria got there before Monica at the end of the Marvels. Beast told us in episode one that doohickey is an elegant piece of art capable of teleporting someone through time and space, or as the post credit says a universe parallel to our own which of course is impossible, without a quantum band /bangle bracelet… basically, the Nor dimension and the quantum entanglement matter displacement of Ms. Marvel, Photon, & Captain Marvel after the cosmic rod struck the 2nd bangle

[@xavierking2505]

This was a good episode but it felt rush. I’m sorry but the Madelyn Pryor/Inferno storyline should have at least a four-part storyline or the main storyline for the whole season. This storyline deserved the same treatment as the Phoenix/Dark Phoenix storyline.

[@sophiawilson8696]

It was way too rushed! And as parents Scott and the Jean's clone you not going with my child alone.

[@Brakdayton]

Better than the comic version.

10:45 - Executive Producer Kevin Feige. He's really been involved in Marvel for a lot longer than I've realized.

Loved this episode and love this video, but also HOLY CRAP you're the first person I've seen in years reference my favorite version of Alice in Wonderland! The Natalie Gregory version had SO many stars it needs its own breakdown on one of your channels. That version of the Jabberwock was my childhood nightmare fuel also.

[@DarthFernando57]

Scott is being an ass! His father actually thought he, his brother and his wife were ALL DEAD! He didn’t abandoned him…..

It’s funny how bishop took cable into the future So why in the last X-men cartoon cable made it seems he just meant bishop In that time fugitive story My theory is when bishop was taking Nathan into his timeline Nathan some how got Lost in the time stream and landed in the 40th century

[@martybarron816]

Happy Birthday - thanks for all the great videos
