    Cool catch with that Magneto still. I thought it was pretty neat to see Spider-man TAS MJ, but then I realized it either means that either this takes place before the end of Spider-man TAS, or the X-Men '97 timeline skips ahead to when she's already found. Not a big deal, I guess, but sometimes it feels like it's asking a lot for these franchise to tell stories linearly.

    Pretty spot-on assessment, I think. The show has great moments and entertaining action scenes (albeit some of the fights are kinda silly, like how Magneto just needed a bandaid to recover from getting stabbed by Logan, or how Cyclops/Storm etc. get battered around with nary a bruise). It's also has some issues as a sequel, IMO, e.g. the Rogue/Magneto/Gambit triangle retcon.

    Does X-Men 97 count as a kid's show? I think it's TV-14 whereas the original is Y7.

    Please find a way to bring back Christopher Daniel Barnes. One of the few disappointing elements of the show is the voice mismatch between this and the original show.

    LOL the Liefield and feet references in the thumbnail.

    Seeing Gladiator serving Deathbird got me interested right away since last we saw Deathbird, her coup to take the throne from Lilandra failed. EDIT: This takes me back to the height of Game of Thrones, but first thing I see when I go to YouTube was a video with a spoiler for today's episode in the title. 🤦‍♂️

  9. Jeff J started following Marvel Studios Fantastic Four , Before 2002, how much bigger a force for merch sales was Macross compared to Gundam? and Deadpool & Wolverine - July 26, 2024

    For what it's worth, back in 1998, I could walk around malls in the Philippines and buy a bunch of Macross model kits. That same year, I went to book stores in Korea and bought a bunch of Macross art books. I've been to both countries quite a few times in the past 5 years and I pretty don't see anything Macross, but Gundam stuff can be found everywhere.

    I wonder if they photographed Jackman wearing the mask or if they just Photoshopped a mask on top of his face.

    Maybe the real issue is just that I'm 30 years older, but I feel like when the Fox Kids X-Men first aired, it was unapologetically for kids, like Baby's First X-Men stories. The release of X-Men 97 came with so much fanfare that comes with anything Marvel Studios releases that I kind of expected the show to be written with a bit more depth than what the actual product is. Guess I just came in with unrealistic expectations. BTW, I tend to prefer the Marvel and DC cartoons that are primarily targeted for kids. Maybe it's just a coincidence?

    Wonder if they'll bother making him look like the the Watchers in GotG2.

    Agreed. Watching episode 3 was like watching a 30-minute, condensed episode on YouTube that highlights on certain parts of a TV series. I also am not really a big fan of the idea of resurrecting an old TV show, but one good thing is that we don't have to see another take on the Dark Phoenix Saga. For that reason alone I'm okay with (sort of) picking up where the original show left off. I just don't have faith that anyone can tell a new X-Men story for other media that didn't touch on Dark Phoenix, just like DC keeps going back to Doomsday and the Death of Superman.

    I can't say I blame BW. I'm one of those people who feels like paying HG to cooperate is like paying that hacker to deactivate the ransomware on my computer...
