In 30 minutes they did right by Cyclops, something the Fox movies could never do 😭 for that alone this is PEAK

[@Marvelousgamer7697]

Cyclops is so GOATED in X-Men 97! I'm so happy to see him finally treated with the respect he deserves!

[@jitos82]

Agreed. I've always tried to explain to my wife why Cyclops is my favorite X-man. Her only reference was the movies and even the old show disrespected him most of the time. But this here, this is the Cyclops i used to see in the comics. They finally did my boy justice.

[@Lamq555]

Storm - OMEGA level threat!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@jlo1195]

Cyclops doing his superhero landing ...NAILED IT! EPIC COSMIC!

[@TonyTylerDraws]

And it makes sense because it’s a concussive force, and every action has an equal and opposite reaction

[@ajrivera1993]

That is why Storm is my favorite X-Men

[@estebangarcia9168]

Storm being so extra and announcing his attacks like an anime villain is just THE BEST

[@laggy_122]

This is the X-MEN. I got emotional and teary eyed with both episodes. The writing, the characterization, the animation, it was all just perfect.

[@aaryanroy8312]

Same 😢

[@mintybadger6905]

I was emotional watching it but afterwards, I just felt a surge of happiness. They did real good.

[@kws2534]

Storm glassed the goddamn desert and then made a tornado from said glass to wreck the Sentinels?! GIVE ME THE WHOLE SEASON NOW!

[@HeroesReforged]

🤌 *cinema*

[@gavino299]

From the time they're in the jet to the time they kill Master Mold may legitimately be the best 5 and a half minutes of any X-men project ever made for film or TV. It is perfect and everything anyone who was a fan of the comics first would want. The action, cinematic value, script, voice performances, animation, score, lighting effects and just about anything else you can mention was perfectly executed. Top tier stuff, truly.

[@gavino299]

So I paused the video after the show ended and wrote that comment and the hit play and Hector said exactly what I was thinking! That's hilarious! I truly didn't watch that until after I made my comment! 😂 Right on @hectorisfunny!

[@stillnic]

It’s the best 5.5 minutes of superhero media we’ve gotten since “on your left” in Endgame. So unbelievably good. I felt like I was 10 again.

[@gabyfraga9294]

as a brazillian, I am BEAMING WITH JOY to see Roberto there

[@IceMetalPunk]

I only know Sunspot from the Marvel Snap game (I grew up with X-Men Evolution, but apparently I don't remember *any* of the characters outside the main team, since he was there too and I totally forgot 😂 ). So when he said his name, from the pronunciation, I was like, "Oh, he's Brazilian? Who is that?" Imagine my surprise to Google it and find out he's the guy who's on one of the best cards in Marvel Snap! 😂

[@superboyprime515]

Storm and Cyclops were just epic in this episode :)

[@jasonmarbach]

They NAILED it. BODIED it. I am a very, VERY happy old millennial.

[@SuperCred1t]

I'm so happy this is actually good. And my boy Cyclops finally getting some respect

[@thedarkknight2221]

Gyrich’s monologue about how racists believe tolerance leads to extinction is so damn relevant to today. I hope the MCU X-Men are this poignant with their writing.

[@coreylevine8095]

They using the Great Replacement nonsense to scare White people to be racist

[@djoscartj]

The dialogue in the X-Men cartoons that seemed too over-the-top and crazy back in the 90s now seems very close to reality and so relevant to what has been going on for the last 7 years or so 😬

[@IceMetalPunk]

@@djoscartjThen you get the dumbasses who are like, "The new X-Men is so woke! Liberal agenda!" And people get to remind them that, "No, morons, X-Men has *always* been an allegory for racism and bigotry, so bigots like you have *always* been their target, gtfo."

[@tonyrandall4364]

Whenever I see Cyclops doing his landing in this episode I think of Captain America in Winter Soldier diving out of plane with no parachute. Both heroic leaders. This is such a great revival!

[@RandomRhyme]

Tactical optic blasts!, defensive maneuvers and other such badassity.. abound

[@TheOnlyHawkeye666]

They haven't missed a BEAT!!!!!!! HOLY SHIT this is everything it needed to be and more! It just pick-ups immediately and I'm NEVER skipping the opening EVER

[@Aishakenya824]

Put some RESPECT on Storms name; we need a Storm solo film greenlit ASAP!!! Best scene we’ve gotten showcasing her Omega level powers in 20yrs!!!

[@gavino299]

No doubt! Felt the way I felt as a kid reading Storm parts in the books. She's just overwhelmingly badass and absolutely needs an epic solo film.

Excuse me, you somehow forgot STORM in that assessment! 😂

[@warriorfella]

This new season has undertones that are relevant to what has occurred in the 2020s, not just the 1990s and before. Cerebral writing

[@AuspexAO]

Every other adaptation of Cyclops. Ok so these lasers he shoots out of his eyes... Fans: No they're concussive blasts. X-Men 97: Ok, so how can we do cool shit with these concussive blasts Fans: No they're...oh you know. Wow.

[@muhammadmunaji2835]

My boy Cyclops leading the team, as he should

[@carolynquinn8325]

Im so glad I came across you guys during the writers strike and your Studio Ghibli run. None of my friends are into this kind of stuff and it’s just so great to see others as excited about everything X-Men ’97 is getting right lol You and all those in the comments are doing a great job - thanks everyone!

[@dagan2000]

i love the Jack Kirby influence in Sunspot demonstrating his power

[@SlackerSuperstar]

TO ME, MY HEROES!

[@djoscartj]

To me, my CzechX-men! 🤌

[@TajReacts]

These first two episodes were amazing!!!

[@IceMetalPunk]

Ending the episode with the recontextualized "...to me, my X-Men" is just beautiful writing. As is Magneto's speech in episode 2. Just... I'm loving this show so far, and there's only been two episodes.

[@TonyTylerDraws]

No one has rizz like Gambit

[@NatashaSalgado]

[@BlackLegSanji66]

If this isnt how Cyclops is next time we see him in live action then I dont want it. Hes in my top 5 heroes EVER and this episode moved me.

[@BrandonCorreiaNetwork]

So happy they let cyclops go to work!!! Episode was AMAZING!!!

[@cruelangel8689]

In the 90s around the time of the Blue and Gold teams, I think I remember reading a letter column reply stating that the original X Men were now in their mid to late 30s. Who knows how old they are supposed to be currently in the comics, since without a 'restart' they would be middle aged by now.

[@theolharris]

Great reaction gents. I love what we have seen so far. This brings back childhood when I first read the Uncanny X-men comics in the 80's. I was so fortunate that when I started reading comics the leaders of the two most popular teams in Marvel were lead by black women. Cap had just passed them mantle of leadership to the Avengers to Monica Rambeau (Captain Marvel) and Storm defeated Cyclops to gain leadership of the X-men.

[@gautham231989]

The Animation , Storyline , character arcs everything is top notch , loved it ❤

[@jemmaleofitz1152]

Just watched by myself. They were awesome!!!! Talk about upgrades. I have so much to say, but I won't. I will say that I can't wait until next week. I'll also watch later with my husband.

[@SkiiMedia]

Take a shot every time hector talks first at the start of a reaction lmao

[@eddysmokes7]

omega lvl threat …. storm turning the sand into glass… so fucking bad ass

[@samfisher6606]

I think literally my only complaint is that Rogue doesn't really sound like the early twenties badass she once did. She sounds more like my 60-something chainsmoking aunt.

[@davidbeyerle6996]

Which is true. The voice actress is 64.

[@jasonmarbach]

Yeah in truth this was my one complaint too. Wolverine too, to an extent. I don’t mean that as a sleight on the actors, their skills are just as exquisite as ever, it’s just hard to hide the age. There’s a reason even Elton John lowers the performance keys of some of his more difficult hits as he’s aged…age is a motherf*cker. Took me out of the immersion a bit in these eps, not gonna lie, but it wasn’t much. A minor gripe, in my opinion.

[@leeharrison8222]

Yes, there’s a little difference to her voice, but I got used to it Very quickly, and I really enjoyed hearing all of the actors who voiced the characters from the original series.

[@davidbeyerle6996]

@leeharrison8222 yeah it took a bit to get used to wolverine also.

[@scottsummers4234]

I watched the 90s show and she sounded more like Keke Palmer there

[@cjohn64]

The wide shot of Storm on the sand with the lightning reminded me of Goku's first Super Saiyan transformation on Namek.

[@mageeaaron2624]

This is where the fun begins!!!! 🙏🏽💪

[@superkid801]

It was so good! I actually got to meet some of the cast before this came out, they are so good! I had finished watching the TAS on Sunday and I knew I was ready for this!

[@jasminelong3234]

Yes! I feel like I say this about every video, but I've been so excited to see you guys react to this! Your discussion and transparent love of things is a really bright spot in the world. It makes me remember that it's still okay to enjoy and love things, to still be inspired. And honestly, that's what X-Men makes me think about too.

[@carltontaylor6500]

Ha Magneto “…to me, my x-men.” I didn’t catch that the first time.

[@tiago9977]

I cannot wait to get the X-Men in live action. I *really* hope we don't hv to wait 5+ years for them to join the live action MCU.

[@jayjya0613]

FYI, the voice of Gyrich is that of the Drifter's in Destiny 2 and of the General in Helldivers 2. 😊

[@djoscartj]

To me, my CzechX-men! So pumped for this series, it felt like Saturday mornings with my "confleis" all over again! I wonder who that "Krauser" (from Resident Evil) looking dude is? Side question: Does anyone else NOT have the option of subtitles in the Disney+ app on their tvs, and have to rely on the native tv's Caption settings?

[@kptmaci4979]

Yaaass. Watched first 2 immedieately. Im jealous you already watched 3. Its really good. Now I hope they follow up ad make actual 'animation' universe happen separately of the movies.

[@eaglesphan5650]

That’s not Jean Grey talking about leaving lol.

[@moonskeetz]

They should've used 90's dance music. That would've really made it feel '97 af.

[@movies798]

So I guess the rest of your X-Men reactions is on Patreon exclusively. Which is cool. I didn't know the first two episodes of X-Men 97 was on Disney+ today. So looks like I got something to watch later tonight.

[@HeroesReforged]

Not exclusively. Just going to take a little bit of time to get them all edited. There's around 25 videos.

[@movies798]

@HeroesReforged Oh I see. Gotcha. Didn't know it takes a lot of time to edit the videos to meet the KZbin video standards. I was curious because there was only three reaction videos of your Original X-Men Animated Series

11:10 Ngl, I find it kinda odd that the lightning from the sky is blue, but the lightning that storm generates is yellow.

[@tiago9977]

1:24 3:29 4:47 13:12 I wonder if characters like Jean, Rogue, Magneto & Prof X are gonna have visual effects for their powers when they're introduced in the live action MCU (like Wanda), or if it'll be invisible (like the Fox X-Men films).

[@tezmoore3945]

Love your channel. Just pure reactions and you don’t spend the whole reaction critiquing the show.

[@user-zs5of5en5o]

Cyclops' landing got me thinking...can he then propel himself to some level into the air using his optic blast?

[@jadontaylor6703]

He was moving around the battlefield at the start of the episode using his optic blasts to propell himself around. Safe to assume he can get some good air if he wanted.

[@user-zs5of5en5o]

@@jadontaylor6703 oh yeah you are right. I guess it’s fair to assume that he can 🤔

[@Mike90317]

We're home, we're safe.

[@jparks3422]

I am surprised that none of them, especially Hector, did not mention Roberto da Costa aka Sunspot, one of the original members of the New Mutants. Maybe hinting at introducing the rest of the original New Mutants, Dani Moonstar aka Mirage, Rahne Sinclair aka Wolfsbane, Sam Guthrie aka Cannonball, and Shan aka Karma. Though if they are I would not be surprised if they throw in Illyana Rasputin aka Magik in for popularity sake like Fox did in their somewhat accurate live action New Mutants movie. Also, is the baby Jean is pregnant with Nathan aka Cable or is it Rachel aka Phoenix. Based on Mr. Sinister in the themes song sequence and Jean saying their son to Scott that it is Nathan. But the moment in the Psychic vision when Jean is holding the baby it looked like a girl not a boy. So that has me thinking it is Rachel. And that is not even going into the whole Jean is Rachel's mom from the DoFP timeline and Madeline, Jean's clone, is Scott's wife and the mother of Nathan in the comics. I think they are just going with Nathan and Jean being his mother and not Madeline. Make things more straight forward and not so confusing for the audience.

[@user-ix6ki1ng7j]

If they go with Madeline... that would lead to Mr Sinister

[@christinebentley1971]

[@Fairburne69]

"Thor could never" ROFL I love Storm. She is my favorite of the X-Men. I always thought Thor and Storm would make a fantastic couple. Having said that Thor would own Storm. Sorry. He's just on another level when it comes to power rating. Love the reaction though. This show keeps the vibe, feel and corniness of the original but at the same time it feels more serious than the original. Can't wait for episode 3.

[@moxyblackfiddler]

Thor actually has been on record saying she has better control of the elements than he does

[@tiago9977]

I'd love to see these guys react to X-Men: Evolution and Wolverine & the X-Men in the future too

[@number1fool]

Well, at least they don't pretend that at least one of them hasn't already watched the show before reacting to it

We all know that the government will not destroy that Sentinel. Maybe Jean saw that vision.

[@atari303]
