X-Men '97
I'll keep this brief in hopes to up this before the forum poofs out. 3 eps in and its outstanding. I think it goes beyond memberberries in the sense that its not cheap nostalgia ploys.
Its very much simply new stories. Effectively its Newstalgia. It delivers as long as youre a fan of X-Men in general. You dont really need to have seen the 90s run at all. |

I saw episode one and gotta admit it didn’t land for me. Veers too much on the side of “for kids” instead of being for adults and their children. Too on the nose, which I’m assuming is the point but that just doesn’t do it for me.

Ep 101 is 100% membererries. Its best for best night of the sentinel from the 92 run. Thankfully they dropped 2 eps on day 1 otherwise id probably agree with. (Though being TV Y is what it should be.)

My main/only gripe now is the intro and how they put Magneto first... they should have just put him where they had Professor X in the first episode....
Ruins the "visual flow" of the intro to not see Cyclops blasting right after that explosion.... was already thrown off a little bit by the inclusion of Morph, making the music cues for Beast and especially Jubilee a bit off... but I could live with it... until they put Magneto at the start which not only ruined the visual flow of the intro but further ruined the audio cues.... |

What's most impressive to me is how how they've weaving multiple stories from the comics together without it feeling messy or bloated.

It still early but i agree.
Also shout out to this being the coolest Cyclops has ever been portrayed. He's my favorite X-man and im very happy about it Last edited by Destor; 04-03-2024 at 02:08 AM. |

Also, landing on the ground by using the optic blast into the ground in Episode 2 was perfect. He's been a real highlight of the revival, IMO. |

Yeah, I did some light reading after that post. Makes sense now.... but still don't understand the whole orchestration of his death certificate, etc.
Seems very uncharacteristic of him to just never return..... I dunno. I'm FAR from a superfan or anything like that. |

Its a plot contrivance especially as presented in the new series. The idea in my mind is he would have required on going medical treatment that could only be done there so he would have to stay to live. What we got was he seems all better now and has no reaspn not to return other than to fuck his bae.

I dont mind that mind you. Magneto leading the X-Men is interesting and worth exploring.

100% Magneto leading is definitely interesting.
Just felt kinda..... I struggle to find the correct word to apply. Disappointing perhaps. Just seemed outta sorts and also maybe cheap? |

This is how you do a reboot.

I know what youre saying but its worth noting this isnt a reboot. Its a revival. Its the same continuity. I agree with the spirit of what youre saying though.

I knew I was potentially wrong when I wrote it. Almost Googled it but thought “who gives a fuck?”. Destor gives a fuck.
