X-Men '97: The Animated Series

[whitecrown]

That Ghost Rider appearance in Fantastic Four was hilarious. He shows up out of nowhere, KO's Galactus with the penance stare, and leaves. It's so random.

He was a replacement for Doctor Strange since I don't think Strange had ever appeared in the 90s shows before.

That, and there was a serious attempt to get Ghost Rider his own cartoon at the time.

Yeah, he was a lot more popular than Strange back then.

Dr Strrange appeared in both Spider-man and a cameo in an episode of X-men

You're right. He's in The Dark Phoenix Saga like in the comics. Then they used Ghost Rider in FF just because he was more popular.

I'm not knocking it. Ghost Rider was super popular back then and like a lot of kids getting into comics in that era, I thought he was very cool. I remember being absolutely stoked when I watched that episode as a kid.

I just found that scene funny as an adult because, as I recall, there's no build-up to him appearing or any reference to Ghost Rider prior to him just showing out of the clear blue sky, one-shotting Galactus and immediately dipping out. Its so abrupt and awesome.

[Mormel]

Yeah, and the voice actors for Ironman, Thing, and I believe even Ghost Rider (from his appearance on Fantastic Four) returned to voice their characters on the Hulk's cartoon.

I sometimes forget about that Hulk cartoon! Was never the biggest Hulk fan but what little I saw was pretty good! I remember a lot of angst and body horror, moreso than the old 80s Hulk cartoon. That episode ending where Rick becomes the green Hulk and Banner the gray one was wild!

As I said in another thread: Disney+ added X-Men 97 to the MCU Multiverse Saga section. Despite the fact that the creator said that the show wasn't canon to the MCU and is it's own thing.

Obviously, this wasn't planned in advance otherwise it would have been added to the section from the start. The show's popularity has clearly exceeded Disney/Marvel's expectations and now they're trying to use it to create good publicity for the MCU (because they REALLY need it). lol

I think the X-Men might overtake the Avengers as the most popular superhero team in the near future.

Much is this is wrong in obvious ways, but the second the Watcher showed up and they were using the What If design it should've been clear it was apart of the MCU multiverse.

I mean every time the MCU referenced X-Men it was the 90's series they were pulling from.

Plus the idea they didn't have high expectations for this show with the way they've been marketing it, along with the fact Deadpool and Wolverine another X-Men property is releasing soon is just ludicrous.

While I love seeing her wreck **** up, this is likely going to be used to further a hate campaign against mutants and the X-Men. Not that it matters much after the Genosha massacre, but...

he don’t want these problems

I'm predicting Rogue's rampage gets the Avengers attention and they go to take her down or she just encounters Cap and he slips one of those inhibitor collars on her. Either way, Rogue's goin' down and the X-Men see this on the news and go to Genosha to free her. Combined with what happened in episode 5 and this, "Earth's Mightiests" picked the wrong time to take on the mutants. Before the X-Men can get to Rogue tho, they have to go through an army of Sentinels still hovering around Genosha. I'm thinking this is where Storm come back with a big re-introduction. How does Cable and Bishop figure into all this(since I assume they'll be back this episode too)... who knows?

Of course I could be wrong about all this

[ChronoRogue]

I was first thinking the yellow boot next to Cap's shield was Cyclops, but it may be Rogue after all.
