X-Men '97: The Animated Series

[Phoenixx9]

I agree it would be fun!

And, as with comics, sometimes there are different points of view for things seen/written that warrant discussion.

[Nyssane]

Actually, I wonder if we can have review threads for TV shows?�� dthirds and JB would most likely beat me to it, but it'd be fun to have a sort of watch-party thread where we can discuss individual episodes.

Yes please.

[Uncanny X-Man]

Heck yes to the review threads! I'm looking forward to discussing each episode with you people.

So Brad Winderbaum pretty much confirmed there will be other x-teams showing up on X-Men '97.
He also mentioned Val Cooper so i think X-Factor is a given.

How amazing would it be to see Excalibur in this new season?

The lineup could be Kurt, Kitty, Brian, Meggan and maybe Betsy instead of Rachel so there could be a proper introduction of the latter in future seasons.

Would also love to see some version of X-Force with at least Cable, Domino, Deadpool and Feral in it.

Same. An OG X-Force like team would be awesome IMO, but with Deadpool thrown in there like you have above. And maybe we get a hint of some history between Deadpool and Logan too, in that the former knows all about the latter because his healing factor was derived from him.

They need spin off shows if they are going to do all that. 10 episodes go fast. Even if you give a different team a spotlight episode, you can't do much in 28 minutes to explain and introduce a whole other team, while still featuring at least one of the primary cast. I mean, that Iceman episode introduced X-Factor, but they really didn't get much explanation. I'm down for an Excalibur spin off, and maybe even a New Mutants-into-X-Force show, but let X-Men be X-Men.

[Jackraow21]

Yeah, I'd be fine with cameos with no explanation like we got in the old show.

Theo James will voice some secret fan favorite character in X-Men 97.

I am sure that Cable with bring X-Force to help X-Men in final episodes (probably episode 9 or 10), so Theo is probably Deadpool.

Well he’s British and has a very deep voice. He could be playing Brian.

As for the length of the episodes and series as a whole, they have already 3 series confirmed with a heavy rumored 4th one. It’s plenty of runtime to have a lot of guest characters and team to have their due.

Like, Alpha Flight and X-Factor were 'featured' in the OG series, but they were basically cameos just highlighting their powers. We got basically zero information on their backstories/etc. That might be enough for a fun surprise, but it's basically underutilizing the IP.

[Jackraow21]

Yeah. I’m still good with it though. Introduces them for expansion later.

Wouldn't mind more interaction between Scott and Alex. From what I remember the OG series didn't point out they were long lost brothers right?

I just remember them using their powers on each other and it canceled the other out.

Cannonball got an entire episode to himself and Warpath and Rictor also showed up in the same episode as Feral.

Cable, Domino, Canonball,Warpath, Rictor, Feral, and Deadpool wouldn't be a bad line-up for a team.

I'm not sure if Corsair even mentions Alex in the episode Orphan's End.
