Motendo/Lifedeath Part 1 | X-Men '97 Ep 4 Reaction

[@brianholloway6205]

Love you guys. Watch the last season of X-men the first two episodes concerning the Phalanx featured Forge a friend of beast and Charles. He is the guy who storm is talking to. That SAME episode also featured Mr. Sinister. It makes me wonder if this is the point he did the switch.

[@dungeonmaster16]

if curious the voice of older jubilee is the original voice actress back then. the creators did went to her and ask if she wanted to voice jubilee again but said no. mainly on she have her own businesses plus its best if someone that is asian american voices jubilee which the creators are fine with. but did offer her a cameo if she wanted and she did accept that for this episode.

[@claudegrenier3180]

Great reaction, as always ^^. CAN'T WAIT for slime tomorrow 😁👍 WE'RE BACK BABYYYY!

[@ensvenskateist3564]

Life Death which is about Ororo's (Storm) journey through deep depression and thoughts of ending her own life which Forge helped her through and it was a journey that lasted for three years in the comic so the development of emotions felt like they were happening very fast that forge explanation of their feelings as well as those that happen to Ororo in are very compressed.

So I just want to point out that Storm has really bad claustrophobia. So there was probably a lot of trauma in climbing into a metal coffin who knows how many times to try and get her powers back.

[@ArlanKels]

It goes to show how far she's willing to go to regain her powers.

she evidently does in publishing, but afaik losing them for awhile allows her to have one of the greatest character studies in superhero comics

[@revolutionarydragon1123]

She is probably getting them back in the next episode

[@saiyanobe23g6]

Roberto is potentially very powerful since he can absorb, channel, and even generate solar energy. He’s pretty much an X-Men Kryptonian since his whole power-set deals with solar energy like Kryptonians do but on a lesser scale. The only thing holding him back from using his powers is his mentality. Also I like the sequence that they did with Julibee’s older self. She pretty much created two firework destructo discs, just goes to show you how powerful these two can be if they reach their full potential.

[@Jretoven]

Strongly agree. A big aspect of it reminds me of gojos speech to megumi in jjk. Their problem isnt their abilities/techniques, its their own interpretation of their abilities. They have to expand their mind and broaden the idea of "whats possible" with their abilities. Partially due to lack of experience, they cant even conceive ideas like the firework destructo discs yet lol. The better your imagination = the better your application of your technique basically, because theres more ideas you would be willing to try

[@saiyanobe23g6]

Forge has the mutant ability to construct anything out of scraps and tech. He’s pretty much a mutant MacGyver. He can invent pretty much anything if he has the right compounds and functions since his power is pretty much intuitive aptitude. He’s kind of like Tony Stark in the sense that he’s a master of mechanics. If he had the same resources that the anti-mutant thugs from the first episode did, then it’s not far fetched to say that he could create his own armored ‘’Iron Man’’ suit out of the sentinel’s mechanic parts. It depends on who’s writing his character, since his role overlaps with Tony Stark(funny how he looks like him too). Like Storm, he’s also pretty powerful and underutilized. A genius like him could be very valuable to the X-Men, but since the X-Men already have Beast(another genius), he’s normally apart of the X-Factor, and three of those members consist of Polaris(Magneto’s daughter), Quicksilver, and Havok(Cyclops’s brother) who were all shown as in the theme song and later on in the second half of the episode.

The bible actually has 3 enemies. Lucifer, the angel who fell, Satan, the lord of demons, and The Adversary, which is the Anti-God. They're not the same beings, and Christians are usually shocked when they learn and google "Is lucifer satan?". This villain is based on one of the enemies of the bible, The Adversary is an ancient primordial evil. (For reference in the Bible the Adversary is the one that says Job only worships God because he has so much, and the one that tries to tempt Jesus in the desert).

[@jetlorider]

no......the Hebrew word "Satan" means "Adversary"..they are one in the same.

[@Saphthings]

@@jetlorider That's in Judaism. I'm speaking of Christianity. "Satan, however, stems from the Hebrew word “śaṭan,” a term whose definition includes “adversary” and “accuser.” and served merely as a term to identify an adversary. In the Hebrew Bible there was no Satan with a capital S, and in early Hebrew traditions, there was no devil, demons, or Hell." Notice "IN HEBREW BIBLE (aka Torah). In Christianity they are not one and the same. In Judaism they are. Christianity DOES have devil, demons, and Hell and builds upon it. Can't compare different religions, in Islam it's even more different. However The Adversary in Marvel was based on Christianity's The Adversary, not Judaism's. In fact "Satan" in Christianity is partly based on Shaitan, not just the Hebrew name for "The Adversary".
