I wish they weren't leaning so heavily into the "Prof X is a jerk" thing. Even though he killed Rachel and Rasputin to send them to the White Hot Room, he could have easily told them his plan...

I feel like people who didn't watch the original animated series will be confused by
all the space stuff and Prof X being alive. The X-Men were all sad that he was "gone" and the world thought he...

It feels surreal that we'll finally be getting a cosmic based Jean. Every time Jean's gotten close to that level of power and control, the writers do something to knock her down. They were too...

I rewatched the episode, and you're right. The Jean that swallows Maddie is pink, and in the next scene she's blue. Maddie also goes back to blue when telepathically talking to Nathan before giving...

Can you point out where in the image you're seeing it?

I'm curious what people think of Jean's blue energy signature. I didn't like it in the 90s, but this newer version looks much better.

The storyline that this episode is based on has Magneto's death be a fake out. He's one of the first mutants taken out during the Genoshan genocide, but later on it was revealed he was pretending to...

One thing I appreciate about the show is the depiction of energy signatures. I'm particularly glad at how they used Kirby Dots/Krackle (named after Jack Kirby, who popularized the effect in comics...

I agree that Genosha is a huge eye-opener to what mankind is capable of. Undoing that takes away the whole point, especially since the writer also compares it to 9/11 irrevocably changing how people...

Episode 5 ends with a massive body count that includes some main characters. I believe it's too early for the Krakoa era to happen where they resurrect all the dead mutants, so I think there are 3...

I think you'd have more people be sympathetic to your viewpoint if your stance didn't sound like "I hate what this show did and everyone should hate it, too." I understand it can be sad when your...

I noticed that X-Men '97 seems to have changed Maddie's energy signature from blue to pink, probably to differentiate her from Jean. (Although it would have been cool if she kept the the...

I appreciate that Beau has been giving insight on today's episode even though he's no longer employed by Marvel.

People like to harp on Jean because the X-Men put her up on a pedestal, but she's...

For television shows that run half an hour, they usually have a main A plot and a less important B plot running at the same time. The addition of more can get too convoluted. In this case, there's...

I think people complaining about the lack of their favorite characters have to realize that changes made with adaptations are often done in service of the story. They are different universes with...

Funny how the episode dealt with love triangles, but they became moot after Maddie, Magneto, and Gambit were killed off.

I'm honestly unsure of how things will get resolved. The obvious solution...

As soon as I saw the Watcher's outline in the night sky, I knew something monumental was going to happen. It's a nice Easter egg for comic fans.

I know everyone's awestruck by the Genoshan genocide (and the deaths of Gambit and Magneto), but I also thought it was interesting how they weaved in Scott's psychic affair but replaced Emma with...

I agree. Sinister didn't coincidentally reappear on the same night Jean returned that also happened to be right after Maddie gave birth. He did it on purpose to push Maddie over the edge so he...

Jean and Maddie already merged minds. Jean was missing a lot of her memories thanks to Sinister transferring them into Maddie. During Jean and Maddie's duel, it seems like Jean got those memories...

Based on how they're going with using the ponytail to indicate who is Jean in X-Men '97, I'd say the switch occurred in the final season of the original X-Men TAS, when the animation studio changed...

After knowing Jean's role in the series becomes so prominent in X-Men: Forever that it basically becomes about her, I'm ok with not getting anything substantial with her immediately.

I'm...

I actually enjoyed this revival a lot more than I expected. The pacing is really fast, and they're cramming a lot of story in. I don't know how newbie friendly it is, but as a long time fan since...

Spoilers for the first 2 episodes of X-Men '97:
I'm surprised Nathan was born and the clone plot already starts in episode 2. I don't think the clone will be called "Madelyne Pryor." She seems to...

It's sad how this mini series is feeling so rushed. I understand they had a ton of subplots to finish, but they're just wrapping each one up in the quickest way possible all at once. Orchis has...

The X-Men so overtly killing their enemies sometimes pulls me out of the story. I understand the X-Men are different than the Avengers, Batman, or Superman; but I guess it's been so ingrained in me...
