X-Men 97 Episode 7 Review | Recap & Breakdown

[@mandelharvey3429]

I felt like we were a half hour into the episode in the funeral scene. Two minutes in. This show is intense.

For some reason I felt that Mystique was posing as Captain America but who knows...

[@XMenTrove]

i like that!

[@jamesmoss3424]

It's awesome that Captain America appeared in this episode. 😀👍

I need this show to be on forever🤗 I want a Rogue and Cap team up!

[@ClearaMorph]

Okay, I realized this when showing the clip where Rogue went nuts then Scott talking to President Kelly. Ron Rubin, Morph's original VA, dun, dun, dun, also played Vision in the cartoon Avengers, and his voice was computerized like that. So to have him in a digitalized computer holographic form like that, that has to be an Easter Egg nod for sure to that.

Does anyone know who was that at Remy’s funeral that had similar hair to Rogue’s? 🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@thehound1359]

Pretty sure that was Singer from the Assassin’s guild.

@@thehound1359 Thanks so much for the info! 👍🏽

I think it’s aurora, northstar’s sister

This episode was great with the surprises. It was great to see some members of the thieves guild reunite for the funeral. Emma’s diamond form was very nice to see in the X-Men animated series universe. Rogue was on a mission to kill and get even. Love to see her go full rage and use her absorbing powers. 🙌🏽

Loving the show so far I have come to the conclusion that Morph is the most OP of that group, now in the original series he was a C roster now he is no joke a S+ omega level mutant.

I feel like the writers of this episode deserve more credit than they get. It was very well directed also (same director of Episode 5) and the voice acting is incredible. I can imagine that it’s not easy to write episodes that have to deal with the fallout and follow a gigantic episode/mid-season finale like “Remember It”. As a writer, you’re already at a disadvantage and you know it. But for the last three episodes that are titled “Tolerance is Extinction”, I think there’s going to loads of pay off for all the building blocks and set up throughout the season. All of the writers, especially Beau have been writing GODS. Truly.

[@XMenTrove]

very good comment, thank you :)

[@vanydakhiev3910]

@@XMenTrove I can’t wait for the last three episodes! I know what you mean about Beau’s writing though. There’s something signature and special about it and very quote worthy. Also, that simple line of Magneto saying to Leech in German “Don’t be afraid” chokes me up every time. The shots of the eye contact and how you can feel the emotion in the animation. Ahhh it was an extraordinary episode of television. Period. In any format. Anything that follows it is in a tough spot. It needs some balance of relief from the heartache yet still move the story forward. I am excited yet terrified of what’s to come.

[@humbaba2762]

Yeah, I'm not really a fan of this episode either. It was slow and too talky for me. I like the funeral and rogue scenes, but overall, it just feels like a bridge episode for the next three episodes.
