X-Men '97 (2024)
As Genosha prepares to join the UN, select members of the team head to the island nation to be honorees. Back at the mansion, a behind-the-scenes press event risks airing the X-Men's dirty laundry.
I didnt see one for it, so here it goes and a recap largely based off memory
Rogue, Gambit and magneto are going to Genosha as it recently got accepted into the UN. They arrive and are greeted by the mutant population and Madelyne who now lives there.
Trish Tilby is at the mansion interviewing members about the school. She talks to Beast and later Cyclops. She catches him in a lie when he says he has no children but she saw the hospital records and talked to the staff about Nathan's birth. He loses it bc the doctor didnt want to deliver Jean's baby
Jean is at the lake ting to sort through her memories before Wolverine comes and mentions how she is unsure which are hers. She recounts the moment when she first saw Scotts eyes when the Phoenix power allowed her to hold his blasts back. She ends up kissing Logan siimilar to the Morrison run and he turns her down bc she belongs with Scott
Later she nad scott are alone in their bedroom and shar a moment. She notices Madelyne in his head and realizes he still shares a psychic rapport with her. She feels betrayed and lashes out. He reveals he's been checking in on her for the past month. Jean questions if he still loves her and he says he loves them both. He claps back and asks if she lvoes him or if he's just a memory
Council exists consisting of Emma, Sebastian Shaw, Callisto, Banshee and Moira. They want Magneto to lead Genosha. He later tells Rogue that he will only do it if she leads with him. Later that evening she tells Gambit aout their history. Her mother brought her to Magneto years ago when she was having trouble with her powers. They got close, realized that they could touch and had a brief relationship.
At the mutant gala more cameos. Magneto and Rogue share a dance in the air and end up kissing. Maddie has a talk with Gambit and her nose later starts to bleed. Cable rushes in and warns them that someone is coming. He reunites with Maddie briefly e whom recognizes him before bodysliding out of there.
There is a sentinel attack that decimates the mutants. Banshee and Marrow are seemingly killed. . Dazzler, Squidboy, Callisto all look seemingly dead. The rest of the Morlocks are alive beneath the tunnels. as a sentinel is about to kill them, Gambit destroys it. The final section is wild with the action. Gambit is later stabbed by a sentinel and before he dies he charges up the tube that impaled him and blows himself and the sentinel up
The Xmen watch a report on the attack from home. Nightcrawler, Pixie, Glob are confirmed to be alive. Rogue cries over Gambit's body and thats how it ends
The end music is very somber to reflect the Genosha massacre
The intro reused alot of shots from past intros, especially the Phoenix ones. i do recall a new shot involving Nightcrawler
