Its wild to see such a modern costume already being used but I dig it
Jubes can never go shopping at the mall without being chased by some damn Sentinels.
It's a running gag with her.
I know that so far the explanation was that they were ambushed while she was trying on the bodysuit, but I do hope that they update her glasses and jacket to match (dunno why they animated the collar more purplish). The modern jacket is less bulky/trenchy and a teeny bit warmer in color (like a marigold).
She literally said something like "I'm so done with malls" while her and Roberto were running lol
The bodysuit really makes her look older even compared to her design with her classic duds.
Thoughts on Jubilee in X-Men ‘97 so far-
First off… I do have to say that I’m pleasantly surprised with the amount of episodes that Jubilee has been in so far. Out of the first 8 episodes, Jubilee has only been absent from episode #6. While she didn’t say anything in episode 2, I’m still counting it as she was shown in background/reaction shots and wasn’t a flashback or anything like that. This surprised me, since before the show came on the air, I was hoping she would at least be in the Motendo episode.
As far as dialogue- I do think the writing team and new voice actress are capturing her spirit, sarcasm, and heart. Episodes 1, 4, 7, and 8 have all given Jubilee some really good lines and have progressed her story further on. She’s shown as caring, sarcastically defensive of her friends/Roberto/teammates… and has even mentioned her foster parents. I was secretly hoping we would at least hear about her family instead of this new series forgetting about them.
For powers- I’ve been blown away at how beautiful they are compared to the original show. Very colorful and dynamic. I love how Jubilee is trying new things (minor ability to hover,) and is causing more noticeable damage- like blowing apart the monsters in episode 3 and causing that atomic black hole on Mojo!
The main concern I have is that she has so far been sidelined from any of the major team battles. I know she’s been stuck hanging with Roberto, but I’m really hoping that her increased power display in episode 4 pays off in the last two episodes.
If we see her actually participating and helping the team in a good way in these next two episodes, I will very confidently say that I’m 100% happy with her showing this season.
What are your thoughts? Anyone think she will get some good power displays these next two episodes?
