[@EHH246]

"Hello, Mutant Registration program." "ONE OF YOUR FUCKING ROBOTS JUST BROKE IN AND DESTROYED MY MALL! JESUS CHRIST, THE PROPERTY DAMAGE IS UNBELIEVABLE!!" "Well sir, did you keep the receipt for the mall?" "...no." "Then we have nothing to discuss." "Oh my God, it's coming back! AHHHH--" "Have a nice day, sir." My favorite part of the episode! That and "Hey, sweet! A convertible!"

[@disneyvillainsfan1666]

I loved those parts too.

[@antyep]

I wouldn’t be surprised that’s actually canon. Jeez, no wonder all their futures goes to shit.

[@chrono015]

I never got why morph jumped in front of wolverine, who has both an adamantium skeleton and a healing factor...

[@danielshimoda9246]

bro love man.

[@bigevil1001]

Morph’s final thought: “I saved Logan. At least now my sacrifice won’t be in...wait a minute. Logan has a healing...” *ZAP*

[@Takao0815]

Morph’s not die

[@bradhodges4521]

Well, it turns out later on in the series that Mr. Sinister saved him and turned him evil but still that was kind of silly!

[@kaldurskipper6821]

In fairness, Logan's healing factor took forever in this show. He probably would have died

[@lightyearpig12]

Actually, Morph did originate from the comics except he was named Changeling and he changed to Morph once Marvel learned that DC had used the name for Beast Boy. Later on in the X-Men cartoon, Morph did return as a villain who was scarred by memories of his supposed death but he got better as time moved on. *THE MORE YOU KNOW.*

[@jfdrac]

And then Morph became infintely More Awesome when he went to AOA and joined the Exiles

[@smallmj2886]

The death of Morph set the tone for the series. This was serious stuff. If a hero dies early (even an obvious red shirt), it makes the fights in all of the subsequent episodes much more intense.

[@andrewhaywood1770]

I suppose it was meant to be this way but Morph always struck me as a depressing, creepy whiner with bags under his eyes. Like if a Jared from Subway got jacked.

[@trasegorsuch5140]

You know he came back, Right?

[@thomasmuandersontheneousul4184]

@@trasegorsuch5140 RIght I know lol but the basic point is correct - WILLING to kill him was serious in the early 90s I just find it beyond dumb HOW he "died" and no one double-checked. Xavier didn't scan for his mind and Wolvie's sharp senses failed him. Great moment but not well written.

[@darkellthepiercer]

​@@thomasmuandersontheneousul4184 Xavier did scan his mind so to speak....he didn't detect anything which means he was dead....Mr Sinisters implant brought him back to life.

[@samflood5631]

Well, Morph was resurrected by Mr. Sinister in season 2. Mr Sinister brain washed him into believing that the x-men let him die back at the Mutant Registration Zone and used his anger and hatred to take out the X-men. Professor X, who was held captive along with Magneto in the Savage Lands, used his psychic powers to try and free Morph from Mr. Sinister’s control. Through sheer will power, Morph broke free from the mad Victorian British scientist’s control and was himself again.

[@CrazyCousin404]

Speaking of subtlety, who else was impressed by the little kid yelling "Mommy, buy me that!" as the sentinel walked by?

[@disneyvillainsfan1666]

I love how that kid wasn't scared of the giant robot like everyone else. He was just thinking that it would be such a cool toy.

Rogue was such a sassy, tough, entertaining character in the series. I nearly cried when I saw what they did to her in the X-Men film.

[@anirudhviswanathan3986]

She also has a ton of sass in X Men Evolution. She is emo for exactly 1 episode, then she kicked a ton of ass after that.

[@jamesmooty8035]

[@TheNerdMan2]

Her and gambit were awesome

[@penny1545]

And also her represantation to Wolverine and the X-Men didn't help much either. As for her live action version... well let's just say that Rogue in the 90's wouldn't be content if she saw her live action version!

[@Justmyhandle]

3:45- I imagine this is also the kind of reaction most operators and authorities would get from the public if: A. Transformers were deployed by the government to a battlefield. B. There was a Gundam fight anywhere near a populated area. C. The Power Rangers formed a Zord. D. The Avengers: Age of Ultron E. Anything involving Mecha-Godzilla F. The NFL Robots played their own Superbowl. Also, why in the wide worlds of Marvel was Jubilee never in the films?! Seriously, her powers may be inconsistent but they'd still be awesome to see. It's like watching freaking fireworks, and imagine the creative potential for her movie uniform. Sigh -_-

[@elijahwatson3474]

she was in one of the x men movies, but they didn't use her.

[@Justmyhandle]

Elijah Watson A cameo, to me, doesn't really count as a role in the film so much as a "presence". It's like if Peter Parker showed up briefly in Avengers as a civilian, then is never referenced again. Unless the character is shown with some focus participating in the action, contributes to the story somehow, or at least hints at a larger role in a sequel, it feels like a middle finger to fans. If you don't have resources or time to adequately spotlight or develop the character, it's better not to bother. That's what makes post-credit scenes so addicting, they almost always mean something. They're not there just to be there.

[@geekmangacomic5281]

She'll be in the new one. :D

[@Justmyhandle]

Razorc Skelly Yeah, hopefully she'll get the spotlight she deserves as well as adequate development, not just being thrown in for one film and then killed off (Cough, Avengers' Quicksilver). Also, it looked like a young Storm may be one of Apocalypse's four horsemen, which would be a cool introduction. Agent MacTaggert says that Apocalypse "imbued" his followers with power, meaning he likely gave Storm hers or unlocked them from dormant genes. In the comics, she was also descended from tribal royalty in Kenya. If her character in this version grew up there and was worshiped by her people, she may have joined Apocalypse to protect her home from the violence between mutants and humans. She'll likely be a powerful enemy, but Charles will find a way to befriend her. It would be awesome to see Magneto switch sides at the end, briefly teaming up with Storm and the X-Men for an all out assault against Apocalypse and the remaining horsemen! It'll be cool to see Cyclops and Nightcrawler return too and see how this new canon portrays them, but if Jean goes Pheonix again, they're all screwed :3

5:04-About Gambit’s design, he’s actually a Cajun thief raised by the Thieves Guild in Louisiana. In that one episode where Gambit goes back to his home bayou, the other Thieves who adopted him, along with his foster brother were all wearing the same costume (trench coats) Gambit is wearing. Gambit’s design is to make him look like a scoundrel, some who can’t be trusted due to his criminal background, womanizing antics and trouble making behavior. Although I would point out that the rival guild, the Assassin’s Guild don’t look like Assassins but more like sci fi bounty hunters. I’d always imagined an assassin should wear hoods that cover their face, robes or capes that make them blend in with the crowd and leather gloves and boots to help them climb around in buildings, just like the ones in Assassin’s Creed.

[@powerist209]

About Jubilee, she did get a redeeming badass by having locked up Apocalypse in one of the finale. Also even more confusing on Mutants and Sentinels since the show also have Superheroes like Ms. Marvel (the white lady) and even the Avengers (granted that they only appeared in a bad future episode but it's way better than AvX comic which they attacked children and Cyclops got the short end despite Scarlet Witch MURDERING HER BEST FRIENDS AND DEPOWERED THE MUTANTS IN HOUSE OF M.)

I would also keep in mind she's about thirteen fourteen years old and just discovering her powers meaning she hasn't quite learned to control them yet.

Man I wish the X Men were in the MCU! Oh wait, they are joining! Yeah didn’t you heard Disney is buying Fox as well as the Fantastic 4, X Men and DeadPooL.

[@talynhastime9343]

Okay but since when has sending the police out to capture or detain someone with magical powers ever worked out? Also, is there a name for the black thing that Gambit wears around his face? I've seen it on other characters in other things. It's not a ski-mask, it's not a cowl, and it's not a skull cap. Is there a damned name for that thing!?

[@jfdrac]

Yeah the cops always get pissy that the Superheroes are doing their job and such but every time they go after a guy with powers it ends in either pain or death

[@joshuarosebrough5127]

I love how the NC used "Legacy" by The Gone Jackals when he introduced Wolverine. That song is freaking awesome!

[@SpinyNormanDinsdale]

6:53 Sweet! Legacy from the Full Throttle game!

[@supercool2898]

7:35 yeah but he was badass in that

[@Webshooters1]

I really think this series had ALOT to do with the X-Men's popularity in the 90s and a huge contributor to what would be the awesome X-Men and X2.

[@Aiijuin]

Ah-HAHAHAHA! Dark Rob scene was freaking awesome! 😂😂😂

[@masonschmelzinger7942]

Omg Dark Rob still makes me laugh DARK ROB!

[@punklover99]

Mason Schmelzinger they should bring this back

[@FabledHeroes3351]

7:02 of course he's bad ass and he never ever ever ever!!! Should have lost to raiden

[@kaldurskipper6821]

4:54 What I tell myself about Kaldur'ahm in YJ. Darn animators giving us too high of expectations😭

[@gamefreak23788]

0:50 is that TJ?.........0_0

[@tobiashagstrom4168]

+Doopliss Yes, he was "The distressed Watcher" at some point at which he was on the Critics site or something.

[@gamefreak23788]

Tobias Hagström Ahh

[@danieladamczyk4024]

He watch D&D movie, he lost his faith.

[@frozenaorta]

Yeah, back when the website Channel Awesome (TGWTG) actually _was_ awesome, they had all kinds of crazy talent. Not sure why he was "Distressed Watcher" instead of Amazing Atheist, but TJ gained a lot of fandom there. Jontron also basically got his start there. Back in 2010, KZbin wasn't everything. People actually went to websites like TGWTG, Cinemassacre, Screw Attack, and The Spoony Experiment for their videos.

[@ChristopherZeta1999]

LALANDRA!!!! MY MIND! AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

[@lorddrayvon1426]

Fun fact; the same guy who made the theme for X-Men TAS (Ron Arthur "The Mighty RAW" Wasserman) also made the theme songs for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers through to Power Rangers Wild Force. This is because both aired on FOX Kids and Wasserman was employed by the while channel and not just Saban.

[@lilprincekilla]

Ahhh, Jubulie, the April O' Neal of X Men. Oh and X men is a cartoon version of Heroes.

[@akshaykumar_r]

[@apollorock3r244]

11:44 Batman was tied to a mattress. XD

[@Blackiecomics]

12:36 It's not even that funny, but this part is killing me.

[@aroccoification]

This show is much more than it's first episodes it deserves a more encompassing review

[@chilledandcool3918]

Dude, I only recently found ur videos. Ur videos are freakin' AWSOME!! 👍🏾😁👍🏾. Always make me LOL!

[@nolovenohate]

[@gianinabadami5341]

Now we know where NC got the line from

[@mel0dyrevealed975]

You know Morph turns out to be alive right?

[@josiahjenksisawesome]

Not *Gay* rights, Critic. The X-Men were made for *Black* Rights.

[@alexanderblack5975]

Wrong the X men where based on anyone who is in any way different and mistreated because of that.

[@josiahjenksisawesome]

Charles Xavier = Martin Luther King Magneto = Malcolm X

[@Xehanort10]

Why do people keep putting minority metaphors on the X-Men? Being born with special powers due to changes in your DNA has nothing to do with being gay or being black or any of that. Mutants are their own thing separate from any real life minority.

[@josiahjenksisawesome]

Xehanort10 Actually, they were meant to be a metaphor for black rights. Prof X was meant to be Martin Luther King, and Magneto was meant to be Malcolm X

[@TheTwigofNewberry]

People probably keep making minority metaphors due to the fact that they're treated a lot like real life minorities are, such as the lgbt community or poc, etc. I do find it interesting how, originally it was about black rights but many people now see it as a good metaphor for lgbt rights as well.

[@Ananasbringer]

6:25 gotta admire how Prof. X telepathically tracks Jubilee down - beside the fact that she is in the doorway beside them xD what a waste of telepathy

[@bradcalhoun8976]

F NO. X-Men STILL HOLD UP. Our generation had Adult themed cartoons. That’s why TVMA cartoons exist now. Storm going through Menopause, Apocalypse and the Apocalypse, dealing with grief, etc. X-Men had it all.

[@JMDarkly1]

I don't know why, but Dark Rob cracks me up every time.

[@carlosns4065]

Did the critic review Lost?

[@arjunjupally9674]

How does the 40 minute cartoon pilot pull this off but a 2 hour movie can’t

[@nizmei8052]

I've watched this cartoon hundred times,but just now I've noticed that Gambit has a satan star on his blue whatever it is 7:55
