X-Men '97 Reaction: 1x5 - Remember It!

[@MeleeHellBot]

I should have known something was going down when you can see the Watcher in the night sky for a moment.

[@dandel84]

As soon as I saw him, I was like “Oh cool, it’s The Watcher!!”. A few seconds later, I said “Wait, he only shows up when something major is going to happen! Oh no!”

[@JellisX891]

If the watcher is here then they definitely will come into play in the next phase of marvel

[@stanricolawson462]

An the watcher had a sad face on because he literally can't intervene

[@TonyTylerDraws]

If not for Leech, I think Magneto would have had the strength

[@HaleysTusk]

@@TonyTylerDraws I agree that what likely happened was Leech 'turned off' Magneto's powers which would make him suddenly undetectable. His power is to do just that, so it makes sense he's the 'xfactor' that could make mutants invisible from Sentinel detection (pun intended)

[@Bigran36]

That’s exactly how the Genosha massacre went down in the comics…they even mixed in the Morlock Massacre from years earlier in there…whoever wrote this is taking me and a lot of others on an emotional roller coaster! And notice as Rogue was holding Remy she was touching him skin to skin?. OMG!

Cable said "not again" before he disappeared, so how many times has he tried to warn Genosha or stop those events? I would be so happy if we get a Cable centric Groundhog day episode with Cable trying to change events.

[@HandOfVecna1188]

Episode 7 is called "Bright Eyes" and it's almost assuredly going to be about Rogue, but it might be about Cable also. It's a signature phrase of hers, but applies very well to Cable, Gambit, and Scott.

[@FlixCreEightR]

Yep! Sounds like he has tried it many times before. Maybe saving some people. But not all. Or something else has stopped him from changing it.

[@Saphthings]

I kinda hope they don't time fix it. Gambit can become Death, Magneto can survive because Leech depowered him enough for the sentinel not to feel him.

[@MaxMarriner]

The imagery of 9/11 with the framing of the PULSE massacre. A place where a group of marginalized people feel safe and secure enough to party and celebrate, obliterated by hateful violence. This episode might be the best X-Men media ever made.

[@toanthlp]

Thanks so much for pointing that out

[@tkm1875]

X-Men '97 is solidified. Incredible. X-Men '92 wasn't doing anything remotely close. This is not a Saturday morning cartoon anymore... THE BEST.🏆✨️

[@merrytunes8697]

'92 was groundbreaking for its time. '97 has been adapted for society today, and presumably an older fanbase. I won't deride the older version while exalting this iteration. They are both excellent.

[@davidchism6081]

You see, Freeza? You're not dealing with the average animated show anymore.

[@TonyTylerDraws]

Can you imagine if this episode came out in 1997?? The AOL chat rooms would have been lit

[@iraford5788]

Well like the other comment said Xmen 92 was still groundbreaking for its time, so it should be judged as a 90s product similar to batman tas.

[@thenomad4123]

X-Men of the 90s was very constricted by being a kids show. They weren't allowed to use projectile weapons IIRC, Wolverine could only use claws on robots, no blood, no sexual stuff, and limited dark topics. They did the best they could under the circumstances imo, there were still mature storylines squeezed in.

In X-Men The Animated Series in the 90s, Cable went back in time and kidnapped Wolverine and managed to make an antidote to destroy a virus that Apocalypse made. Before destroying the virus, Cable said : “The names Cable, remember it, Apocalypse!” Coincidently, Cable's first appearance in X-Men the animated series was in Genosha when he first met Gambit who escaped from the Slave Island. Cable helped Gambit unlock his collar which allowed him to rescue Storm and Jubliee and the other mutants as well.

[@kingunda5013]

The powerful sentinel we saw in episode 5 is called a WILD SENTINEL. And this is the reason why I believe the villain responsible for the attack in Genosha is none other than the freakin powerful CASSANDRA NOVA. Cassandra used Bolivar Trask's son Donald to access the wild sentinels inorder to use them to wipe out all of mutantkind in the universe. It's based on the storyline E is for Extinction (X-Men #114-120). The appearance of Cable in this episode only confirms this is the direction they're going. It also ties in with Storm's Life-Death story wherein Storm, Forge and the alien Roma tangle with the Shadow King's evil incarnate on Earth 616, the Adversary. Roma & Cassandra Nova are sworn enemies. Roma will be the one who will resurrect the dead mutants in Genosha including Magneto. Gambit on the other hand will be resurrected by Apocalypse in a later timeline. After episode 5, X-Men 97 writers said that they're just warming up. Brace yourselves, guys. It's about to get even crazier.
