Been thinking about that X-Men series though and going through some questions. Is it going to be a direct continuation? Or we ignoring that horribly-animated last season? "Graduation Day" actually hit me in the feels with those last moments even the rest of the episode left a lot to be desired. Will it remain in the nineties or are we bringing in some of the bullshit stories post-turn of the century? How will it look? Is it just a complete reset? What characters that weren't featured in the original run will be presented, if at all? One of the biggest omissions that I can recall was Shadowcat. Like, what the hell? What say you?

Fignuts

Since it's specifically called 97', I imagine it will be a direct continuation, with the same jim lee inspired art style. It will likely look a lot cleaner around the edges.

As for content, they could adapt stuff like Fatal Attraction, X-Cutioner's Song, and Onslaught. Maybe even an Age of Apocalypse arc.

Might be cool to see later stories like House of M and Messiah Complex adapted with 90's characters and settings.

Shadowcat's omission was understandable as she really didn't feature at all in x-men comics at the time, outside of Excalibur, which was just barely an x-book. 90's was all about Jubilee.

For style, I imagine it will probably look like the new Animaniacs... you can see the old 90s designs, but the animation is smoother/rounder.

M-A-G

11-14-2021, 11:04 PM

They had characters showing up out of context all the time. Psylocke was probably one of the worst cases along with the mutants in Skull Mesa. Shadowcat could've been squeezed in. Hell, Nightcrawler got some love and he was in the same boat as she was. Oh, and Rachel Summers needs to show up, too.

I will always link the voice of Xavier in this show to the character, even with Patrick Stewart's portrayal. Magneto, Rogue, Wolverine, and Gambit were also tops. Beast's worked for that incarnation of the character, leaning way heavily into the scholarly part instead of the wisecracking, light-hearted aspect.

out of respect for my boy lock jaw i'm putting this in spoiler tags

tinfoil hat areas i guess but i think that is 100% andrew garfield's spidey reaching down to save MJ in this shot:

https://i.imgur.com/nqMKiRf.png

richer blue vs the iron spider's deep navy, plus the whole thing mirrors gwen and will be his chance to 'redeem' himself for not saving gwen

also this isn't reflected in the trailer and we can't go off toys for everything but the gold-lined iron spider suit tom holland's peter is wearing during that fight seemingly doesn't have red fingers

https://i.imgur.com/lFtUXcI.png

however, they are red in the trailer--but i wouldn't be surprised if they changed it for this precise reason. plus lizard is looking in a whole-ass other direction in that 'spidey leaping at all the villains' shot, so the assumption there is garfield's peter has been CGI'd out

i think the richness of the blue is slightly more compelling but either way i will be v surprised if it's not garfield's peter saving MJ

also feel like peter's decision to save MJ over ned could lead to ned's hobgoblin heel turn, or possibly the second green goblin we see in the trailer is a ned from a different universe (or dane dehan's but it doesn't quite look like him) so 'our' ned never actually breaks bad

greatly enjoyed electro getting a brief flash of a comics-accurate headpiece

the prevailing theory is strange is mephisto and thus the sixth of the sinister six but i dunno i've been burned about mephisto before. he def seems 'off' though

anyway, looks pretty good. no way it lives up to the hype but it should be a good time regardless

so this isn't in the english-language trailer which is why i thought it was just that it looked like lizard was looking in a different direction but the brazilian trailer has a longer version of that leaping shot and uh

they will not use fox continuity thats certain...except deadpool. this entire phase though is establishing 2 things: the multiverse and magic. my take it 2 universes are going to fold into one another, via Scarlett Witch, and one of those is going to contain mutants. this will bring in the x-men. a new cast but with a story already in progress. a seasoned team thats been at it some years and giving an explination as to why theres suddenly mutants everywhere.

I've thought for a while that I'd like to see them try something different rather than the same x-men story we've seen already. Adapt the Wolverine and the X-men books where prof. X and Jean Grey are dead, and wolverine and kitty pride have taken over the school as headmaster. Great way to introduce some of the cooler new characters they've come out with over the years as students, while having some old favorites as teachers.

Plus that was just a really fun book that would work great on screen.

Blonde Moment

maybe a variation on X men: Evolution. Its going to be hard because so much of the good stuff does not translate very well from paper to film and might work better on Disney+ with 10-episode arcs cumulating in a movie every 2 years to wrap things up and start another arc. First 10-20 episodes dealing with Krakoa (rehashing Giant size X men) with movie ending with the birth of the Phoenix

I mean, she can be younger. But depending on much of the dynamics they're gonna retain Gambit would similarly need to be younger I guess.

Then again if they're launching a new sub-franchise it would be best to go with a generally younger cast all around except for ProfX and Mags.

Rutina Wesley is in her 40's now and although rogue appeared older in her early appearance that changed over time to where she seems to be in her 20's

Would also be down for a Genosha story. I think X-Men 97 touched on it here and there, but not to the full extent.

It was a HUGE society.... like tens of millions of mutants living in their own "society" or whatever, I thought. Could be interesting to see it from inception to destructive end.

Just from a visual perspective there's a lot you can do with Genosha. Bringing to life this weird mix of a utopia and a dystopia and exploring the ins and outs of it would be interesting. The political and social themes are also there for the pickings. I couldn't believe it when I learned that the island Magneto and his followers inhabited in Dark Phoenix was supposed to be Genosha. Like, seriously? A bunch of fucking huts in the middle of nowhere was the best he could do?

I find it weird that she'd idolize Captain Marvel when she has spent most of her time off planet and relatively unknown. Unless she did get that famous from her one time with The Avengers or was on Earth for longer than previously revealed during the 5 year gap.

It could just be a thing of Kamala gravitating more towards Carol a la Kate Bishop to Clint Barton. Remember, Kamala is a super geek. Like, ridiculously super geek. It's not outside the realm of possibility for her to be a fan especially considering we don't know what those five years were like or what Carol's post-Endgame career entailed and how far apart this story is from all of that. Carol could have been shoved into the limelight to fill the Black Widow gap and if that's the case, I'm hoping that and how Carol handles that is something that gets explored in her second movie. I'm getting ahead of myself, though. Let's just see how this plays out.

powrr change was odd initially but on consideration Mr. Fantastic really doesnt need anything competing with him since that franchise has struggled so heavily in the past 15 years in the mainstream. its weird though.

But, yeah, Werewolf by Night was a lot of fun. It's very stylish and doing it in the way they did is such a call back to old school cinema. It's got the vibe of "The Post-Modern Prometheus" of The X-Files. It was nice to see Harriet Harris as I always thought the roles she did in the nineties were great, like in Frasier. Werewolf by Night himself could've been a bit scarier or more monstrous but I suppose they were trying to pay homage to the Wolfman of old. I'd be down for more one-shots like this.

Plus, what a way to incorporate Man-Thing!!!

Some pretty wild rumors about Secret Wars and the 'point' of the multiverse saga but the rumor mill went WAY downhill since I used to share stuff here. For Likes and Shares people just blert all kinds of fan theories and actor interviews taken out of context as news. Even the sources I trusted for over a decade went to shit.

Anyway, lil bit rumor lil bit analysis:

Kang deploys his own evil Avengers in the form of Steve Rogers (Secret Empire variant), Tony Stark, and Natasha Romanov (if she took over Drakov's operation). This idea not only resurrects fan faves, but mixes nicely with One Who Remain's philosophy about how worse things could get with timeliness diverging out of control. Does sound like wishful thinking, but sound attraction for a big finale.

Peter 2 and Peter 3 returns. While Tobey's return is actually substantiated by his interest in returning to the role, Andrew's involvement is whispered to follow an Amazing 3 movie. Of course this is tied up with Sony's silliness but if the latter is true then that makes for weight toward another tidbit - Emma Stone as Gwen variant Spider-Gwen.

There's this messy mixed messages about which Secret Wars will have more influence, but it seems entirely predicated on the OG story giving Peter 1 his black suit. And people really want this to happen and that's kinda skewing the good dirtsheets from wishlists. Given all this multiverse stuff it's very likely the modern Secret Wars with battle world and all that. But yeah, Tom may get his edgy moment.

The multiverse will end with a new One Who Remains (a Kang variant again) and a new Sacred Timeline. And those Mutants? Well the reason, and this is all my speculation, for Kevin waiting so long to pull the trigger is because they are probably going to put the MCU on their back. Like the Avengers who's heroes drove the bulk of MCU's events it'll be the X-Men driving the MCU - with an X-Men film being the big finales of a phase. They pretty much burned thru half a century of 616 canon with the Avengers and the X-Men have another half century more of plots for another decade of MCU.

But who knows.

OK, the Guardians Christmas special, while completely unnecessary and ridiculous, is pretty funny, if a little awkward. There's a lot you're expected to buy but once you know what it's going to be about, you realize there's potential for a ton of comedy. I also appreciate them doing something different with Groot with every outing. It's nowhere near a masterpiece but what else am I going to watch? A Christmas Story for the 564th time?

The two strongest IPs Marvel has is Spider-Man and the X-Men. Spider-Man is obviously controlled by Sony. Disney spent 71.3 billion to aquire the X-Men. Anyone who who suggest rebranding their strongest controlled IP should not be making any decisions especially given Disneys sizable financial woes.

More shakeups to come for Marvel and Lucasfilm though. With a bit a of luck people who like the source material will be hired. That would be a boon.

If nothing else, it's funny when they reference it for a bit of meta-humor. Deadpool's speech to his team in his second movie also brings it up. There are always people who aren't going to "get it" so you might as well have fun with it, I suppose. Of course, they could've avoided the whole "problem" by just going with "The Mutants" from the get-go.

If I can address the issue you brought up about the writers, you can make a distinction between someone not liking X-Men at all and liking X-Men but not appreciating a certain creative direction they're taking. If it's the former, no matter the franchise, I've never understood having that mindset, but wanting to work on a project relating to it.

Destor

03-25-2023, 02:20 AM

Well obviously its work so theyre after a pay check. In their eyes they can "fix it." My take i these IPs have lasted over half a century because they resonate. If you dont like the source material so be it but ultimately your job is to adapt it.

The path to success then would be to understand what about it has worked instead of trying mold it into what you wish it was. And if you cant then make a derivative that meets those needs. If you're right it will outperform the original concept and it will die a deserving death.

Destor

03-25-2023, 02:21 AM

X-Men '97 Footage Wows Comic-Con Crowd As First Details Surface Online
Story by Danny Bojic • 1h ago

***NOTE FROM M-A-G***: Going to take some precautions in case you don't want anything spoiled. Not sure if this is the kind of show that would necessitate such actions, but if you are curious, by all means, click on.

San Diego Comic-Con is in full swing, and despite actors not attending in solidarity with the SAG-AFTRA strike, there's still plenty of news coming out of the legendary convention. During the "Designing the X-Men" panel, Marvel surprised audiences, giving them an exclusive first look at the upcoming animated series "X-Men '97."

According to The Cosmic Circus, one clip shows the X-Men interrogating Dr. Bolivar Trask, the creator of the Sentinels, who will be one of the primary antagonists of the reboot. Jean Grey uses her telepathy to enter his mind, and not only is she pregnant, but it looks like Rachel Summers is on the way. @UncannyLZ described Jean using Cerebro, which induced a vision where she was no longer pregnant, and a baby resembling Rachel approached her.

Cyclops also got his time in the spotlight at SDCC, with footage featuring him saying a variation of his iconic "To me, my X-Men" line. Another clip showed the X-Men falling through the air and Cyclops using his laser beams to slow their descent. According to CBR, one clip revealed Master Mold's presence in the series and confirmed Archangel and Bishop as official members of the X-Men.

Vanessa Kirby has apparently been cast as Sue Storm for the MCU's version of Fantastic Four. She looks the part at the very least.

Don’t think I’ve seen anything she’s in but yeah, looks the part.

She's blonde and a woman, so looks the part for sure!

Well they dont often get the superficial aspects right so its definitely a plus. Here's hoping that she both looks like Sue and perhaps she can even act like her too. But im not holding my breath

I mean, it's a vast improvement over fucking Jessica Alba.

You'd take Vanessa Kirby over Jessica Alba?

For Susan Storm, yes.

This is all well and good and shit, but how about announcing a God damn release date already? This is fucking ridiculous.

Art style looked better in 1997.

Who's the new dude? (brown guy with white and orange jacket)

Yeah..... don't like it. Almost like the 5th season of the OG run of the show where their budget was slashed and they had to outsource the animation. Quality took a nosedive that 5th season.

Just.... keep it like it was, why change was doesn't need changing maaaaaaaaan?

I think it's a pretty fair middle ground between the original style and the one used for that final season. I did, however, appreciate that last season moving Jubilee a bit towards her Generation X look.

Also, shoddy animation aside, I think "The Fifth Horseman", "Descent", and "Graduation Day" were pretty OK episodes. Could they have stood to use a bit more polish? Sure, but it was as good as it was going to get that season. Unless we count "The Phalanx Covenant" as part of that season.

I think the only unrealistic thing here is Elisabeth and Scott being the ones at the console. Where the hell is Bobby? He'd be all over that shit.

Iceman was never in 97 X-Men.

I think the picture is more about the X-Men in the 90s in general, but you never saw the episode "Cold Comfort"? Bobby was pretty much the focus in that one. Unless you mean he wasn't part of the main cast, then yes, you're right, but neither was Elisabeth.

Either way, it's a funny picture, I think. I'm imagining Hank being his nerdy self cooped up in his room with a book while Xavier's downstairs in the den.

It has to change at least a little bit due to everything being done by computers these days, which was always gonna make it lose a little bit of its charm. Like the new Animaniacs show didn't deviate from the designs really, but it still felt like it "lost" a bit of "charm" due to the smooth computer animations and rendering.

This almost reads backwards. Due to advancement in technologies, they could 100% re-create it if they wanted. That's not what I'm saying though.

It just..... doesn't look as great, IMO, as the original did. Not because of "smoother" whatever. Just don't like the way the new ones look compared to the original. I will try to get some good comparison screenshots or something, later. it's just "off" for me.
