X-Men '97: The Animated Series

[Jackraow21]

Oooh, so this Wednesday might be when we see Cable again. Nice. Hope you’re right and that’s what “Bright Eyes” is referring to here.

X-Men ‘97 is coming to Rocket League from April 23rd - May 7th!! Additionally, leakers are claiming that this might possibly coincide with Fortnite skins for Jubilee, Cyclops, Jean, and Magneto… since Fortnite has an update on the 23rd, too!

Thanks for posting. Those additions to Fortnite are great to go alongside Wolverine, Storm, Dark Phoenix, Rogue, Gambit, Psylocke, Mystique, X-23, Cable, Deadpool, and Domino.

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.

The fact that nobody can even tell who's an Avenger anymore in the movies certainly doesn't help their case.

I'm pretty sure there is a interview somewhere where Fiege stated that X-Men 97' was apart of the MCU multiverse. But hopefully that was an error or I am miss remembering.

It is just kind of funny to me that Gambit's original VA showed up trying to prevent an event that ended up killing Gambit.

I still feel like Lawrence Bayne could still voice Cable given his X-Cutioner performance.

I understand why the pacing is the way that it is. But I'm saying that these stories don't serve any real narrative or character purpose the way that they're doing them. Inferno did serve a purpose, despite the pacing and has ramifications for multiple characters as a result. Storm, arguably, had some character growth and fell in love with Forge, but there's still a feeling that she's pretty much right back to where she was at the start of the season, just with a new costume.

The Magneto thing, I guess we'll see. But so far, it's looking like he's just getting put back to factory settings as a character and him leading the X-Men didn't really do anything to advance the plot or his character.

The pacing is less the concern for me than just throwing in a bunch of plot lines that don't go anywhere or end up advancing the characters or story. It's a waste of time to set things up that have no payoff or purpose in the narrative.

Well, thematically we've seen the X-Men coming off a high of pro-Mutant buzz at the start of the season and Magneto slowly coming around to the idea of co-existence to the point of being willing to change himself and lead his people to a more peaceful path with humans...until it ends up blowing up all in their faces and showing that co-existence might not be or never will be an option. Which is probably going to be the driving arc of the next few episodes.

So I think it's advancing in that sense. Even if a character is regressing, there's a point to it and it's handled in a way where it makes sense even if it wasn't quite paced out as much as it could have been.

I also think Storm's regaining of her powers and confidence will make a counterpoint to the characters that are obviously dealing with a lot emotionally and aren't as secure in themselves as they used to be (especially Scott and Jean).

I'm pretty sure there is a interview somewhere where Fiege stated that X-Men 97' was apart of the MCU multiverse. But hopefully that was an error or I am miss remembering.

They even used the same sorcerey effects as in the Dr. Strange movies.

Yeah, you're right. I hadn't thought about Magneto's story in relation to the general idea of the season being this hopeful time for mutants that gets cruelly ruined. That's a good point.

I generally just assume all the different shows and movies and cartoons all exist in the Marvel multiverse. Honestly, that's been my understanding of all the different cartoons and versions since I was a kid.

I hope they don't do much in the way of crossing over with X-Men 97, but I don't mind that its canon to the larger Marvel Multiverse.

There was a vague continuity going on with a lot of the 90's cartoons.

Obviously Spider-Man: TAS crossovered with X-Men but the former also had Iron Man/War Machine from their 90's cartoon show up with their VA's and I believe the same was true for the FF when they were brought in during Secret Wars.

Thirty Six Hours and less till Episode 7. Finally, we'll have something to talk about. See the aftermath of what happened to Genosha. Get more details on who really died. Will "Bright Eyes" be about Cable or something else? Who will be the real villain in all this? Less than thirty six hours people.

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.

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.

Why didn't we ever try that before ?
