Hello, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome back to the X Men ninety seven.
To us our geek first, I'm the clown Prince of Vision Trasnell.
I'm joined by Onny new Boss kirklem Pats. Here, I'm Papa's Bison,
Chili Dolomas and the mo Tendo Taylor Field. Yes, Ley John, we
are back for the fourth episode of X Men ninety seven. Like I had
previously mentioned, as usual, head down to the bottom for everything you need
know is down there below. I mixed up the rhyme, but you know
that's where everything is. You can find our weekly cast, retrospective side quests,
lots of good reviews popping off in April, Monkey Man with myself and
hopefully Kirkling Pats or Civil War with myself and hopefully Delmas Taylors really unknown any
of these rooms. Wow, civil War, you just got a bench,
dude, that's always another review. Got you up bench for a few months
ago, remember anymore? I saw it happened. The theater for Civil War
is so tiny. Was like like we could normally Travis when he could,
when he's alone he sits. In this context of this being so small,
we could all sit in the back row because it's literally like five rows away
from the front of the screen. Yeah, but I was like, no,
I only do that when I'm when I'm alone. So do you think
that way I got. Yeah, there's like a question mark at the end
of that sentence. I think that's where I'm sending for monkey man. I'm
right in the back because a full theater. But like, no, I'm
alone, I'm not sitting in the middle. We've gone over that. There's
many casts I don't mind talking about again in the future, but not today.
We're here to talk about X Men, Dyl Mussel. I'm gonna start
off as usually do non spoilers. Let me start with you for a very
specific reason. If you want to spoil a certain portion of episode, I
think you're fine too, because I'm sure people have saw that. But I
gotta start with you for a very specific reason because there's I feel a certain
into a certain character, and I can't even remember with that said character,
if we knew they were in here this season or not, I don't think
them. Yeah, I can't remember which is conjecture and what is fact anymore,
much like everything in life. But what do you think about the Motendo
Slash Life Death Part one. Yeah, you know, it's interesting just from
the structure of the show to see something a bit different here where they kind
of had two episodes in one, and since these episodes are a little bit
longer and what the original show is, you kind of have two episodes that
are still shorter than what an original series episode length would be. But it's
fun to have kind of two separate stories in there in a kind of a
separate way. And then obviously we know that this is like part one of
a story that's not going to be followed up on next week until the week
after, So I like that they're kind of toying with the structure here in
an interesting way. But I once again had a great time with this.
I think, you know, controversially because of a certain character that's in here.
I think this is my least favorite episode of the four, but it's
just because the bar has been set, so hi, I think they're One
issue I had with this favorite character of mine coming back is that we spend
a lot of time like setting up who he is and what he does,
and like, I already know that stuff, so I didn't really need anything.
I feel like we spent like two or three minutes just kind of doing
an origin backstory thing, which was maybe a bit too much, but then
the rest of it was really fun. I think both episodes individually, if
you look at them that way, are are fun and interesting for different ways.
There's a couple of character things in the second part, the life death
section that I'm excited to talk to you guys about because I felt a little
strange with uh, felt little bit weird with some of them. But yeah,
I'm excited to get into it. I think this is a fun episode
once again. And uh yeah, I just I just love the mix up
of the structure. I think that's my favorite part about this episode, or
these two episodes, however you want to talk about it. I'm good a
little man who looks like he also something as I just like myself. Mister
grum Pats, Are you know? What do you think? So four?
Yeah? I would agree with Dylan that this is my least favorite episode out
of the four. I think purely in the fact that it has been set
so high on the bar. There is a character that comes back that I
really did not like at all in that first uh, the first version of
the show I'm excited to talk about that. And yeah, I was kind
of surprised on the like the usage of two episodes in this one a little
too fer just because I don't know, I feel like the run time of
it, it didn't seem like it was super short, Like I felt like
we were at like a full length of episode by the time that we got
to the second partner, So it was just like, oh, yeah,
I kind of forgot that this is it has two titles, so that kind
of threw me for a loop. But I do like the bit of shakeup
of structure as to what Dylan was pointing out, especially that you know,
continuing on for what is it life Death part Yeah, that'll be after next
week's episode. So overall, like it was, I was still positive on
it. I think some of the some of the issues that I have with
a certain character. I think once we got into the meat and potatoes of
what the action was, I was actually totally into it. Like I was
surprised how much I was enjoying what was going on there. So yeah,
for the most part, this is you know, still a positive trend for
sure, but noticeable step down for me just because man Goblin Goblin Queen last
week, Like it was just sort of super hype wave to jump off of,
but still still love the show. Mister Field, do you get to
concur I feel like this is the lowest out of the batch so far from
me. That being said, I am flabbergasted at some of the visual representations
here and just the beauty of the animation style and some very cool portrayals that
I was not expecting. It was super super fun. I don't know why,
but there's certain character that appeared in this episode just went over my head
until we actually I visibly saw them. I thought like, holy shit,
this this person's back. That's that's crazy. But okay, yeah, I
just saw you're talking about our main antagonist and I was like, man,
why did it take you to like in the episode? But okay, we're
all good the well and yeah, yeah it was great. Though the the
two separated episodes, though kind of combined in here was a little a little
uh throw me off a wee bit. So that being said, I thought
it was cool. I mean, if the second part of this, I
feel like I got some cryptid action going on in here that was pretty crazy.
So overall, I think that It's like you guys have said already,
the bar is set really really high based on those storylines and the episodes that
we've gotten so far, and I like that this is all just this cohesive
continuation, and this definitely didn't feel like a filler, even though it was
pretty much a filler episode. I appreciate the attention that we got with Jubileese
character because I really enjoyed her adventure throughout this episode quite a bit. I
thought it was a lot of fun, and I'm glad that we got to
you know, while I feel like this could have been two separate episodes,
I'm glad we touched upon what's going on with the other character in the back
half, because I feel like I was just getting kind of curious and it
seems like there's a lot more going on there. There's a lot of goddess
talk going on from all these mutant mutant guys lately, so the mute guys
a lot of love. Yeah. No, I don't have anything on original
say. Unfortunately, I have pretty much the same take for sure as Dylan
Kirkle. I don't know about Taylor, He's off on something else, but
no, I think it's like it's tough when all those were the debut was
that nostalgia kick. Number two is that like, oh man, look at
the stakes, and number three is that, oh shit, look at all
this kind of results that, right, I think we got some good little
tidbit nidbits here. I think it is like I guess it could be,
I feel but at least there's like two I like, there's something that happened
with Jubilee, and then there's some more stuff with Storm and even for just
not as spoil he's in there. So I feel like it kind of was.
I'm glad they did this route and we didn't. I guess it'd be
different if because what is it. It's ten episodes, So if they were
telling me I had eleven episodes, then fine due to two full episodes.
But if it was, hey, you got ten episodes, I'm glad this
was a split. I think that the mo Tendal got enough time, like
as much time as it needed, and then it's I'm interested to see which
I'll look at when we're gonna spoilers, but the title episode is next week
is I'm gonna be curious of why we didn't just get all of life def
like this week and the next week. But we talked about that oria.
I guess a bit before right where it's there might be some sort of reason.
So yeah, I liked both parts. But just like it's the heights
of that other one, it's just very like the first three. It's very
tough to me. I think it's kind of unfair. So I guess this
is just almost a complaint where I just wish we usually want less. But
I would have been fine if this was, you know, twenty episodes,
so it could have been like the old days where we had just those weird,
fun knock off episodes. I liked what we got here, and I
actually think some of the visuals were the best, especially in the first half.
Some of the crazy characters and even our main antagonists, I felt they
were looking like really really cool. So yeah, overall, a good episode.
I'm hoping next week we get back to some nitty gritty because we left
off. Maybe I'd like this episode even more if I had a few more
questions answered from last week. But that's okay. We still got we got
some stuff coming up, and I thought, as I'm always reminded the finales
of three parties, I just feel like we're gonna if we don't get a
lot of maybe juice in these next few episodes, those next those last week
are gonna really go for it. That's like an hour and a half of
I think, going for it some hopefully home runs. So I'm looking forward
to that. So, yeah, we'll take a little break here, we'll
get into spoils, and then we'll be right back and we're back. So
I have to go back to mister Field there, mister Field, who was
the person you were not expecting to see? Mojo? Really mm hmm.
I saw them Montendo and I thought, oh, this is cool, Like
what's gonna go on here? And I didn't even like, I don't know
if it was just so it was like pixelated or what I was looking at.
I didn't I couldn't tell if it was Mojo on the cartridge or whatnot.
I think he's Unfortunately in the thumbnail of the episode. I didn't see
the thumbnail. And I feel like maybe I'm wrong because I watched the last
name that I watched a bit of it this morning. You said like you
didn't know who it was till like the last two minutes. I feel like
Mojo appeared earlier than the last two minutes of his part. The last two
minutes, that's what you said, something like that, you said, like,
oh, it till the very end, I didn't know who it was.
I just had to get fact checked, right. I don't know if
like that I met like right up to the point where peers, Yes,
I saw his face, that's it. But the point leading to it,
like the motendo and everything, that's where I didn't clue in. The voice
is a bit different. Most voices are, and I mean common I think
for me, once again saw the thumbnail, I swear he was in there.
At least when I saw the thumbnail, I knew he was in me
in there, so it makes me think that he was. But so yeah,
I think that took away a bit of the surprise. But man,
what a fun sequences was and and I think it was great that it was
something different than what we saw from Mojo back in the day too. He's
kind of evolved his game and he's seeing like all video games on the new
hotness, which is kind of an interesting take for like the year nineteen ninety
seven in this universe. But I'm in before thinking, you know, yeah,
he was all up on the Twitch stream. Yeah, exactly. Yeah,
he's a forward thinker. He's like he's like Kojima pretty much. He's
like a game designer now right, and he's seeing the future, so he's
exact. It's a one to one. But yeah, I thought that was
really a really fun switch up for the character. And obviously we're all huge
gamers here and stuff, and just seeing the pixel art versions, which looked
great, like man, the Savage Land section was sore on the in the
pixelar like, hell, yeah, I want I want to play this game
right now, even though I'm sure there is some x men beat him up
and I hate beat him up, so I don't even think i'd like the
game, but I still want to play it there, even if you wanted
a lot. We should do that for the charity stream maybe because there is
one and the aesthetic is almost identical, Like it's definitely a tributing that game.
That's a game I sunk a lot of hours into. I think I've
paid like twenty bucks for an Xbox three sixty back in the day when I
got like a reash or something, so I'll look around. But yeah,
it's definitely like that. Turtles game where it's on there and it's a it's
a good time for you know somebody. We'll bust it out in the uh
it come November, I'll put them the list. Yeah, that was probably
my favorite section of the entire episode honestly, just the like the video game
animation style that they had, especially when it would go to like Jubilee and
Sun spots like just point of view where it's it's like normal animation, and
then when it goes to like what the I guess viewers are seeing, it's
the video game side. So all of that really just wrote me into the
Mojo stuff, because obviously I wasn't very into the Mojo side. Yeah in
the original show, Yeah, I don't think I knew it was like I
felt like the second I knew was Mojo, I don't know if Dylan I
can't remember right, I'd have to check it the thumb now because I don't
remember if I saw him or not. But the second they got like sucked
into something, it's like, Okay, well clearly it's Mojo. But I
had been spoiled on I knew there was a Arcade like episode coming up,
so I knew that was a thing. But I that was a good time.
It's almost like lots of the game got to kind of swap out for
morph and when they switch into a different character, it's okay, we don't
have more fear to do that, but we're gonna go through different things like
when went to the Savagen. It's cool because I feel like, either on
Predictions or Episode one, we were talking about like, oh, well we
go back to Savagen where we see something like that, we talked about Genosha,
So it was cool just to get that for a moment. I guess
also in this episode that they even talked about Genosha too, so it was
like, a This is definitely more like almost similar episode one, where it's
a nostalgia trip for the first half, and I had a good time with
that. And I think it's good that they gave them like a little venture
on their own, because I feel like the old show would have them on
the couch watching the movies and then they would just kind of have like maybe
a few more scenes throughout the series and you just assume, oh, they
must be a couple. But I do like that they're planting the flag on
Okay, they're spending time together. They win on this adventure, and then
they kiss at the end of this episode, so it's like, okay,
we are firmly cementing Jubilee and sun Spot. I always forget his fucking name,
Roberto. She calls him Roberto, which I like that it's a bit
easier to say and remember. Yeah, Roberto, Yeah, I like that.
Estabished. Okay, they're a cute little couple. I'm excited to see
if anything more happens this season, like they're just happy I'm making for Wolverine
to find out. It does seem like this could be like the conclusion of
their storyline together. So I don't know, maybe one of them gets they
get torn apart, or one of them is put into danger again in the
way that Sunspalt was here. I guess that's the thing you could do.
But it does feel like almost too soon. But I'm excited that doesn't set
up now and we can play with it from the rest of the season.
Yeah, because what this is episode four, right, and then so we
have five six sets, so we really, like I said, we only
have three episodes because it might happen stuff. But again, I just feel
the finale's gonna be dealing with some of the bigger steaks. So I feel
like those last three episodes, you're not gonna have Julian Roberto like content going
on other than being kidnapped. But like I said, that's my prediction that
you will least see them hanging out or being chummy, and Wolverine's gonna walk
in the room and have some fucking snide comment or something, or you might
thrend Roberto. I don't know. I don't know which way, but I
just feel like, out of all the characters who would comment on them being
together, Wolverine is the most likely too, and I'm excited for that hopefully
to happen. But no, overall, everything was just really fun in this
episode and it was a good time and I'm glad Mojo's back. I was
on Dylan's camp where I like Mojo. I got a soft spot for Mojo,
and I think this is like the perfect route to use him, not
a big bad villain. He comes in, he gets taken out by like
the lowest tier at current X men. It's like, that's what I envisioned
for Mojo, you know. But I'm I'm ready for me to be in
live action. I'm ready for Jack Black to play him. I want Jack
Black from MCU and that that's that's my fan cast right there. I think
you would kill that role. So with the eyes and everything, they gets
some crazy making. Oh yeah, yeah, fantastic. He has the original
song that he does for the show too or movie. Absolutely the credits or
something. Yeah, Mojo vision of Mojo World has to have some sort of
Jack Black theme song or something. Everything right, like it was in Kung
Fu Panda Foor. He just did the credit song for that. He did
Mario with Peaches, so he's doing craft and probably bought trap thing whatever he
is for Star Wars though, let's not get Let's start a lot of too
Marvel, but Star Wars might be a bit much. But yeah, like
again too, I hope when we get live action stuff that we get some
sort of like X Academy show where it is like the young kind of not
crappy X Men but up and coming. And because I just don't know if
we'll get to see modes, maybe maybe he could be like an opening scene
boss like takeout or something. But I was happy Mojo is back and it
was a lot of fun, good references. Yeah, I like the updated
version, like to what Dylan was speaking to earlier. It seemed it seemed
just like, uh, kind of what happened with Jumanji, right, like
the old board game style. I'm not saying the old version was like that,
but then in the next level whatever it was called, or no,
Welcome to the Jungle, that's what it was, and then there's the next
level. Yeah, and then they got the video game, so I definitely
was thinking of that. I didn't see the thumbnail. Well, I didn't
see the thumbnail at all because I am now gate when I clicked I'm gonna
go look if I swear I did se him in there. When I clicked
on it, it was like the end of it, just shocked and he
gets sucked into his computer and he's gone, oh my gosh. Uh no,
it was like the end of episode three. So I just like fast
forwarded and then the next episode started, so I didn't get any spoiler there.
As soon as it like happened, though, I'm like, oh,
of course, motendo, Like, how did we not see that he's in
the thing now? Yeah, okay, yeah, just just confirmed it's not.
Yeah. I was not super happy to have him back, but I
think it served its purpose. For the episode. Oh yeah, Oh that
could be anyone. That's episode. Yeah, that's some fun jokes about his
weight loss and everything, like yeah, which can can you guys explain that
it's is the size of his body powered by ratings? Because once the show
started popping off again, he immediately came back to his original size, So
is that what's happening is like nutrients's ratings, Like, I know he liked
the ratings, but I didn't know it was physically powering his body. I
think that's a fun twist on the character. He feeds off it, like
he literally feeds off it. So that's kind of how I took it too,
because if he did yet bigger, then I would have said, no,
it's it's just like a character design. But and he has been skinnier
before in comics, so that could be a reason because I'm not to brush
up with my Mojo Vision comic books as a plate, but I would assume.
So that's fun. I like that mm one thing. So last I
forget which episode it was, but in one of the episodes, More appeared
as Spiral for a moment, which is Mojo's sidekick here, which not to
me, didn't like Deconfirm that the re Mojo episode, but I felt like
that's kind of a weird pick, Like I guess you're just trying to get
row where you can. But I thought it was interesting to see, like,
of course herb beat another kind of one of the sidekicks in this episode,
and it makes me think of what you're saying there, Travis with Savage
Land. I hope that, like, just because we now got it here,
doesn't like deconfirm us going back there later in the season. I don't
know how much time we have for such a storyline like that, but I
still I just love that location, So I hope we get to see it.
But then the other one being Asteroid M, which you know we're definitely
I definitely don't think we're gonna see another Asteroid M this season. I think
that was fun to have that og Magneto costume, but with the new art
style, was cool have him as the boss fight there, love that she
knows how boss fights work. She's gonna wait for the right point in his
cycle to go for the strike. Just really cool stuff. So yeah,
that was that was a fun sequence there. You never know, I feel
like I'm trying to think with Savage Lands, like when would be because I
was looking on next week's episode. Next week Charles's members where Charles hiding.
Well that's I just remember it, like that's not could like that's not not
Savage Land because it could be like remember it right, But I don't know,
that could be logan stuff, that could be. That could be Scott
and Gens. I mean I didn't think Matendo would be a Mojo episode.
Yeah. I didn't even pronounce it that way when I first read that episode
title. I can't remember how we pronounced it. Yeah, nice to see.
What do you guys want to ask you? You know is if you
were a part of the X Men. There's a big debate on her birthday,
you know, the team Beast slogan want to have a nice time Shore,
good day. You're mute. It sucks. But Magneto, who had
to remind us that his family perished when he was a child, it's always
arraised Sunshine. He said, no, this is the perfect time to train
her because no days off and if you train her now, maybers get more
of the days off the future. What approach are you take in to you
team Beast, to your team Magneto on the birthday bash thing. I'm team
Beast. I was definitely laughing because a quick cut where she's in her room
and she's just freaking out. What does she say? I'll see if I
can try and quote it. I'm the master of Magnetism. I will not
be found in a place of child games or something like that. Like I
just I really like that. I could. I would have loved to have
seen Magnetos saying that, But the whole setup of him just being like silent
and then looking at him really really just it sold me. He's turning over
a new leave but and I feel like a part of him would have done
it, but he's just he didn't done it. I think I love this
new this new Magneto, but I'm on team Beast. I think that after
everything that's happened, I think having moments like that is it's important for a
team. It helps grow the team, helps bond the team. If like
a top gun Maverick, you know they were those tids are having to train
all the time, No, you could take them to the beach and let
them play football, have them a bonding shirts, say the shirts one public
but for the top of Maverick thing that was because they're not getting along.
They're all getting along, So for Magneto, he's the only stick in the
mud here and he needs to go to the arcade. Other than what happened,
Okay, I guess was Storm and then Gene and Cyclops, which I'll
have a question about them after this is probably like the best the team has
ever been as a unit. You know, I think like everyone's getting along.
They're saying it, so I don't I don't think you need to worry
about you know, we need a volleyball game because and they already did the
basketball game to be in the season, right, they're good, So they're
not getting along though you see gambiting rogues, they're already crumbling, you know,
orders Gambit's got a little shaky. But I don't think it's like as
confrontational as I could have been. But I do, like, I don't
know, I think it's different because it is an amated show and stuff,
but I feel like this time they're trying to make it more adult. I
was he Magneto with the sense of Sinisters back and we gotta get ready because
that's the thing, like if Sinister had not appeared yet and he is just
royally f the X Men. He had like tricked them all to thinking Gene
was a clone or like everybody not just Magnea, he tricked the whole team
thinking and Gene was a clone. I think that I would be in training
mode because one who knows what else was? Like? Who else could be?
Hopefully Beast's tests and everybody right now? You know I want beasts like
every that'd be Magneto's the leader. Say one you get a test and two
he got trained because he tests himself or is he just have such a big
ego that he thinks he doesn't need it? Who Beast or Magneto? Like
Magneto, does he get beasts to test himself? No, but that'd be
a big contention point. I said, Beast for sure for science, but
Magnelia no, I know me and stuff. But yeah, I think with
Sinistern with this show, I think they were trying to make Sinister be more
top level boss guy. I would have done it, kept some more training,
Jubilee going. You know, Roberto is still like new to the team,
so I yeah, it's a birthday, but maybe he had that celebration
after Sinisters locked up you know, so I was team mcgneedo in the decision.
I think I am too. Like this whole Gene Yeah Gene thing has
been really treacherous. You know. A few months ago, Xavier was taken
out and he's one of the strongest guys. Storm is not with the team
right now. She's the most powerful of the Mune, so she's out of
there. So they're extra week right now. I'm I'm opposite you guys think
they're you know, in a good spot. I think they're out there like
potentially an all time low sunspots on the tea. I've seen him use his
powers like once. He's not helping anyone in a fight right now. He
doesn't know anything. And on top of that, they're playing a video game
in their house and they're getting attacked by a villain. And according to Mojo,
which I think he's lying about this where he says that this, you
know, he has to have big stakes here. Apparently they would die if
they in real life, if they die in the game, I think he
was bluffing. But if that was the case, then their house is trapped
with games, the video games that are killing them too. Like I'm definitely
team Magnio here, they are weak right now. They need to recruit some
extra members. Bishops just left too, and let's let's mention that. So
they have no one right now, they need to say no one. They're
they're low in the numbers. They're definitely they've lost almost half the team essentially
in the I agree with you now, I agree with you no episode one
there, Sean, But now they're definitely in their two Towers phase where the
team is getting split up. I think they're still strong, but that's fair,
just like you're just saying, don't and the comments. Christin Bentley here
says, first makes it to professor office, the amnesia green Gray makes it
pass the great and now the video game, they have terrible security and that
they do. That's true, Magno did he was just there? Yeah,
Like the the alarms went off after he was already in the mansion. So
it's not like they were that good, you know. So you know,
yeah, I was already Tamneo, but I'm even more so tam Agneino now
because they need to be together. So Kirkland, Yeah, trying to defend
that. Kirkland, who do you got? Yeah, I hear what you're
saying, but I'm going with Taylor on team b stover here. You know,
you know where we need people at the local arcade, Like you knows,
there's probably some powerful mutans there. And if they say no, you
got to make sure you go back another time, just to confirm that they're
just the one day, just the one day. And then you know,
just like everybody should have their birthday off from work. They you know,
everybody should have a trained day off for like Jubilee, she's eighteen, Like
she's still still a kid. Like she's definitely not she could be dead teen
if she doesn't trained enough. She'd had fun, he'd have morale like that
one is it not true? Though? He could be She could be done.
She was done today, you know. So she's got she's done amazing
things so far, she's been through Like thinks she shouldn't be amazing. She's
amazing things, so I think she does. There's one day. I'm just
getting flashbacks to the first ever retro that we did when you're just just shitting
all over Jubilee and like, yeah, just turned over hold like magneto.
Yeah, you give her one day off and she almost killed herself. So
I mean that's just goes to show you can't I can't trust anyone these days,
that's true. True, And then we did throughout the game there's a
little help her out there, you know, some of the masks takes off
the masks as someone eluded, a hunter aluded there was voiced by the original
Jubilee. So that was very fun. Yeah, that's a fun little passage
towards East Egg moment, and that was good. Which I guess is that
just like like for Mojo, is that just like a made up version Ai
of Jubilee or somebody? Or is this this character that's been stuck in this
game for years? Because they said she makes a little speech but oh you
got to get out there and live your life, and it's like, well,
how long have you been in here? You know? I think it's
an Ai. But an Ai that's just been gathering data for so long.
That come very wise for an Ai. She's like everything everywhere all at once.
Lady. Oh yeah, yeah, no, yeah, Well what's the
daughter's name? Okay? Oh? Joy? Yeah? Good? Uh continue
continue O What was I talking about? Old? Yeah? No, I
I really like just the fact that it was the original voice actress, and
I mean, I didn't know that till now, but it makes it even
better. I just like the idea of like a the same version of or
sorry, the same person helping out Jubilee. That is lice than like a
riddle. But no, I thought that was really fun. I was curious
who that was going to be, and it wasn't wasn't too unsatisfied with the
results. And I hope that I hope that Jubilee, like these energy blade
things going on, becomes a part of her moves. That I hope that
she learned how to do that here and she uses that from here on out.
And I just think it was so fun. I like that she got
they got to do the combo attack together with the super Jubilee powers and you
know, further on that energy thing, when Jubilee and Roberto kiss. I
love that their kind of energies are kind of flowing together. I think that's
quite nice considering they have similarish abilities. Measure, they just blew up and
they're down two team members, you know, like the knocking boots. Yeah,
and then they just die because of their love. That would be very
dark. What a way to go, though. There's worse ways. There's
worse Well, yeah, I guess so, yeah, there's worse ways.
That's up. There's a good way to die burn. Would you would it
be like a slow burn to death? Because in my mind it was an
explosion, but you never know, maybe it's maybe this. I feel like
an explosion. You're just exploded, like there's all your max. It's like
a big bang. That's a big bang, all right. So also in
these do we have anything specifically, say a Mojo or Jubile, because I
seed to shut up about this, but it happens in the segment, but
it's not about those characters anything about the game Jubilee, Mojo, et cetera.
I had no anticipation that this was veteran Jubilee. That was just the
like the The Road Warrior, a mad Back style aesthetic. But I was
super super on board with that. Actually, it was really really cool.
I did not know it was the original voice actress. I think that's very
cool that they brought her back to voice that character. But yeah, they're
just her, just dishing out the details and the facts that Jubilee, like,
you live your life, you gotta go out there experience every corner and
crevice of you know, what life has to offer, So I only remember
that you gotta go explode when you can. Yeah, it was good,
it's good. Yeah. Uh So in this they're showed a much a montage
that I can't remember where it was, but it was when Ojo was like
going off and I can't I can't remember the place I wrote the note.
They showed a graphic that said divorce chord and then it says sun gene or
something something like that. Do we think that is just like a fun little
oh that's just playing on what could happen? Or do we think that's actively
what is happening because they weren't in this episode and we talked about is that
something that maybe they're going to decide, Well, we don't know if I
married you actually or not, so we're gonna take a little break or like
right if she didn't feel she married and what not? Like what is the
state next week when we get to remember it, because who knows what they're
trying to remember? What is the state next week? Are they just broken
up? Are they still together it's awkward, or are they We're gonna get
some sort of thing that they're not married anymore? Because I gotta actually see
them going down that route for a lot little bit. It was just they
put that in there for a reason. I think right that, I think
they're trying so far, the season's done a good job if they show a
little thing and then they start to elaborate on it later. So yeah,
I'm gonna say they're separated. That'll be my prediction. Not quite divorce,
but I feel like that'll be the big like shock moment, like we find
out as the X Men find out, Like like if they tell them that
way, it would make sense because of the whole cloning thing, Like it's
another way to get to an interesting maybe love triangle again with Logan. Who
knows, but I think it would make sense with what was built up with
the story and it makes it interesting. And I don't know because after a
while, like you definitely have your married off individuals throughout, just like I
guess Fantastic four would be a good pull with sus Storm and read Richard's that
love dynamic, like it's it's something that can be done for a while,
but it's also just I don't know. I think like it could get boring
after a while if it was just that, But I don't know, I'm
down for this this route, and I hope they actually do it. I'll
go I'll go the opposite way. I think they're gonna make it through it.
I think that's potentially I mean, so it would be fun if they
did split up. That would be, you know, some good drama,
and then we'd get some fallout of where they go afterwards. But I think
I think a more uplifting story in this case that they're gonna go for is
them making it work and figuring out their differences or the I don't know,
the different people that they are in this interim period between the cloning and the
abduction all and all of that. So that's where I'm going. I think,
I think this is maybe just a funny, funny mojo bit, but
I didn't even I didn't really think about it potentially being foreshadow of, like
maybe for a more caricature sort of way of something that actually is gonna happen.
So I think that's a good a good call out. But I'll go
the more optimistic route here. And the reason I just took like notice too,
it's just because they both weren't in the episode. If they were hanging
around at lunchtime or dinner, I'd be like, okay, but also like
Wolverine, more weren't really here much we saw them though they were still a
breakfast They were still debating the Jubilee breakfast thing right where Scott and Jean were.
No, they said they were in Genosha though get divorced. No,
they said they're in the Genosha for the un meeting. Remember that's what they're
telling the kids. So I mean, you're right that they weren't here,
But I do think they gave a pretty valid reason for why they're not there.
Jean's like Scott's gonna be here. That could actually happen, though they
could one of them could be looking after Genosha while they're gone, Because Christine
Brentley brings up a good example there too, talking about Emma Frost was in
the opening credits. There is like a path where I could see if they
do. I'm on Kirklands Banding, where I think separate, separate to divorce.
I think there could be something because I think there could be a fun
path of you let Wolverine and Jean pala round for a little bit, and
because I thought, oh, what do you do with Scott. But that
comment there the beginning, and we haven't touched upon in the show. It's
much like Magneto and Rogue, where that's happened in the comics. But I
never thought that was gonna happen in the show. That would be a really
fun way to bring back Emma Frost if gen Or Scott and genan Emma Frost,
if Scott and Umber Frost were gonna start pounding around, I would really
enjoy that. That'd be fun. So where was Emma Frost as someone who
skipped the intro? Uh? They just showed a flashback to like the hell
Fire Club in the opening credits, so you know opening credits every week they
keep showing like flashbacks to things that have happened in past season, like week
on, like that kind of part. Yeah, no, no, it
was the Dinner. So like how in the first episode they didn't show Phoenix,
but two and three Phoenix was in there. Yeah, so she was
just alluded to. But I guess I gotta be watching these because they are
switching up the clips in there, right they are. So it was Bishops
in the team roster. I remember seeing the g when he's on the team
roster. Does he the gimmick where he's spinning around in time? That sounds
like something he would do. Okay, then he was definitely there though,
because it was like him and he's like, oh, it's like he's going
down to like a circular, like that's that's exactly, and favorites. Oh,
it's getting blendered in time, blendered. Skip that. I didn't see
that one. Are you skipping the opening song? I'm there for the opening.
I skipped it today. I got places to be, man, I
you know I gotta skip it. Are you fucking kidding me? You're skipping?
You're skipping anymore because apparently it's like plot relevant. I just you know,
I've seen it a lot at this point. Here every Wednesday morning we
got watching the I thought you stayed up. I thought you stayed up till
midnight. Now you're watching I watched them both this episode. Kidding me,
this is what I feel about. You gotta skipping the crap? Yeah?
No, I have the mojo thing, which it was a little slow,
the life Death things. I was enjoying it, but I definitely took a
little nap, and especially I felt like second mojo vision and motendo and everything
started like, Okay, it's not like a filler episode, which there's parts
of it, but I felt like, okay, this is a week off
from like the really important stuff, like we're not going to have big development.
So the other weeks it's been like, oh, I couldn't you couldn't
put me to sleep, like you have to choke hold me this week?
Yeah, little gander, before we answer or before we move on to life
death, what are your thoughts the next week when we see genus call if
we see them right, because we don't know what remember it means, but
personally, I think I could see them steering towards them. Yeah, having
a little mustache in my mouth. Oh uh. I think that there's still
so much to play around with, uh, with the logan and and gene,
and I feel like we don't know when this gene got the switch obviously,
So just to be thrust back into the situation here where I mean,
are you are you? Are you actually? Were you ever married to the
guy? Maybe it was the toxic gene that was married to the to the
guy. So this gene technically she was my control. Don't gonna call her
toxic now. It wasn't Adaline's fault, all right, my control. She
did call herself the Goblin queen. That's like, that's pretty toxic gem in
her head. The second exploded, she made the turn. She's still in
her head, come on, but it's exploded now, so it's not controlling
her now. It's just like a cool artifactor have you know. But I
think that there's there's a lot of there's a lot of dynamic hit that's gonna
unfold where this Gene's gonna I don't know, she's gonna want to try new
things, Shena, She's gonna Logan. Well, yeah, because Logan.
Logan reached out and and shared his feelings with her, and so I think
that that's gonna add a lot of a lot of tension between her dynamic with
Scott and and I mean maybe vice versa. But I do think that we're
gonna get her distancing from Scott a little bit more. Whether they're going full
on divorce court, I don't think we're gonna get that far, but I
think there's gonna be a lot of turmoil in their relationship. See that's the
first of all, Dylan, did you say Wolven was a hairless man?
I mean his face is he's got the what the mutton chops? Right,
got the mutton chops? Yeah, Yeah, he's got the Yeah, he'll
use that mustache. Was not yet. I was gonna say if they separate,
I hope because we talked about this last week when he was looking at
the photo again, he's looking the photo of Madeline with his baby. I
hope it's like a mutual separation. I hope, and then they can get
back together in love. But I hope it's not one separator and the other
one's pining after them, because I just think, ah, we've kind of
been there and seen like I would like it if it's both. She doesn't
know if she married that, Like, she doesn't know if she married this
guy and wants to make her own choices. And he's still kind of hung
up that Hey, like, you're not the mother my child. I did
was with this woman for nine months for at least for sure was with someone
else for nine months, right, So that's the thing. I hope it's
a mutual stuff. And I feel like if they're if if we want our
fantasy booking of them getting like other couples, I think they have to be
divorced. For that, I don't know if they're gonna be separated and then
still be like, well, I'm gonna go, you know, like Mesh
Boots with Logan. I'm gonna go hang out with em My Frost like I
feel like, and I guess unless it's like a I don't know, like
a handshake deal, we're gonna go have like go play around and then find
out if we were meant to be. I guess, I don't know.
So Jean's and then Scott's just getting nothing. It's like a major skew that
Dazzler and he wants nothing to do with Dazzler as well. So what is
your Do you guys have any other fantasy picks? I'll give you right now,
just in case happens next week. So take the Wolverine m off the
board, Kirkland, I'm gonna go with you. Who would you want to
see Gene with? And who do you want to see Scott with? Right?
Gonna break so you get a second to think, and then everybody I
want not the obvious, let's say it's somebody else, will be right back,
and we're gonna tell about life deaf as well. Don't worry, and
we're back, well, you and Froze, but and Free so it's really
odd. So I don't know. For Scott, I really can't think of
anyone quick other than Dazzler, and I feel like that's kind of boring to
go back it's been done before. Uh maybe maybe Morph, maybe Morphan,
Scott gets something going fun, Morph gonna be whoever they want to be too
exactly and Jean Gray you take your pick whoever whoever. I don't think Morph
is like it's it's all about just, you know, pleasing the other person
in that sense. But uh, I really don't know who i'd pitch other
than that for for Scott and then for Gene. I mean, you got
Logan, that's like another easy one. I don't know. I'm trying to
think of like a deep cut character. I guess for Scott, I could
go, who's the six arm lady that was just in the Mojo spiral Spiral,
there you go, Spiral, Scott. That would be cool. I
could see that because it spiral. The look on her facing us at the
end of this episode was like, yeah, fuck Mojo, I'm out of
here. That was the That was the look. I can seem like a
party that's partying last pairing up between those two, I think in this episode.
So it would be a good little hero turn too. We're already talking
about how the X Men need more members. I feel like she'd be very
useful. I mean, Morph's already already stealing her powers. So that's right
there, true Dyning and you want to go or I got some picks if
you want some time to think. I got one for Scott. I think
Calypso the sewer Master lady. I think that's the kind of kind of person
he'd end up with after this. Yeah, even though she's long gone,
she's in the gen ocean now for how there? Right? What's that?
Yeah? True? Maybe pumps when he's there. And then I forget the
name of this character, but remember I think it was like I think it
was the last season four or five. There was five seasons of the original
show, right, yeah, yeah, season four or five. There was
like that nerdy guy who like got like super Soldier serum and was like super
jacked and like was going to the clubs and stuff. I'm gonna go with
that guy. I forget his name. Okay, at first, I thought
you were pitching rogues nerdy X the guy turns in like a bug. I
was like, no, it's not the bug. You know you need some
time. Honestly, Deyla, I was gonna pitch the same leader of the
Morlocks Galley. Yeah, it's perfect. That's perfect for Scott. Really is
other than that, I mean, let's maybe like Lady death Strike, they
could have a he got his own Wolverine. Wolverine again is like, that
was my woman. Maybe it's just a it's a cop out, but I'd
love to see Jean Gray just like exchanging eyes with with Mangio. And for
sure he was. I thought, for sure, you're going to a woman.
But so he leaves Rogue to be that could be cool, you know,
might not leave Rogue, you know. Alright, so I too,
I want to get some really juicy drama. So for some reason, let's
say, yeah, Cyclops, Scott Summers is at Genosha. He's hanging out,
sending all up and then someone knocks on the door and they're looking for
Scott. Jean opens it and it's his brother Havoc, and they start up
a little conversation and that's how Havoc sticks around. And then yeah, it's
like it's like Scott but not. And then for Scott, I would want
two options, and I want them both to be bad ass, because not
the Jean Gray is not bad ass, but she's definitely had five seasons of
Scott having to worry take care of her times, right. I want someone
that's given no fuck. So I either want silocks, you know, Chris
you mentioned them in the chat. I want that because I just feel like
Scott with like bad asss been great. But then for the juice, what
I'd really want is mystique. Not for the morph joke of you know,
mystique changing the geneo, I don't want that, but just the sense of
for some reason you got the Magneto dynamic, you got the you got the
Rogue dynamic. Maybe Nightcurl and it gets back, and then Cyclops is also
with mystique. I just think that's like a combination for fireworks all over the
fucking place, and that could be another thing of you Magneto doesn't trust her.
So that's what I think Scott has to go is someone just like really
tough and just kind of mean, like desk strikes, not bad option,
like he needs his Wolverine. He needs someone who like doesn't seem to have
a good heart, but maybe Scott like pulls it on the back of the
motorcycle of whoever the motorcycle? Yes, yeah, you just said you could
ride and then you stop. Did you mention the rogue part of that too?
I think that'd be fun, fun, dynamic. Oh yeah, it'd
be like my mother exactly. And then Scott's her and then and then Ye
starts eating course. Yeah, oh god, oh life Death Part one.
So this is episode where obviously Storm, she's hanging out with Forge right now.
It's a combo of they're working on getting their powers back. She tries
a couple of times that fails. We get two big revelations with Forge.
That one, he creates some tech, not directly, but indirectly kind of
give them some blueprints or just kind of working on some modules that led them.
Yes, I feel like it was pretty direct and he was just trying
to downplay how much he fucked up. Yeah, kind of. He made
the callers and other devices that could take away humans powers, so obviously not
a good thing with Storm. Then he also decided right after this to relate
the message that he has fallen in love with Storm, which again the X
Men that they fuck. But Storm, as we've seen so far with this
season, lots of eye swaps, lots of will they won't they? This
as right now was a hard on no because she slapped them and left them
and just said no, like I don't want anything to do with kind of
the pity party. Right. So yeah, what do we think about the
first part of Life Deaf where trying to get Storm's powers back but kind of
a tense situation going on at home. We think nothing, We'll be back
next week for episodes in there. No, no, no, no,
not that Hey, I'm volunteering to I was, but my uh like,
I was gonna say something else the back half of this part, but Travis
like switched it in the front. I gotta I gotta travel. You know
you can go all over I go episode one? Do you like the Sentinels
are back? I was just I was just curious because I felt like it
when when Forge got eaten that it was a dream sequence it wasn't actually a
thing because he got like infected and stuff and then Storm got flown away.
Is am I right to think that is this all a dream sequence? Or
is Forge actually like fucked? I don't think he's dead. But no,
no, he's just going. He's not in a great spot. He definitely
not affected with something. I forgot to mention the big piece at the end
to my bed. I forgot about that, so that that actually did happen
then, because it felt very dreamy, like she was out riding her horse,
then she fell through the ceiling and then like, you're right, Yeah,
that's that part was pretty trippy. Yeah, maybe you're right, or
maybe maybe the I think the horse part was the dream, and then in
the dream maybe she maybe she activated her powers or something that's how she crashed
through the floor. But I think that part was the dream. But then
she woke up when she smashed through the floor, and then I think that
was real. That's my prediction. But they did all have the dream sort
of esthetic to it. I was gonna say, Toy, why were you
going with if it was a dream or not. Well, it just seemed
it just seemed peculiar the way Fordes just easily got like taken out and eliminated,
and then him saying it's a demon and all that kind of stuff,
and just the way that the owl has been kind of flying around. I
feel like it's just symbolic for whenever inner fears or something she's experiencing. And
I feel like that kind of goes hand in hand with Storm because she's got
a lot of inner turmoil that she's faced in previous seasons, whether it's like
claustrophobia or the the was the evil skyfaced guy was his fucking name, the
Demon King? Don't what shadow That's why I thought you were going to because
I thought that's what it was. If there, if this appears to be,
because I don't know what this fucking eagle bird man whatever could be.
Adversary was the name. I don't know if that just means like I'm your
adversary. I took it as that was their actual name. That's what all
the bad guy names are taken when you're just on the adversary enemy. But
yeah, yeah, a bad guy. Yeah. So for me, if
any of that is in the head or whatnot, I would imagine it's a
shadow King already has ties of Storm we've like, which is kind of would
be kind of fun because it's it's like we got Mojo, which was not
like Big Advertisement's back, you got sinister shadowing, So it's like kind of
a best of which that means, you know, in that goddamn and now
we're gonna hear some apocalypse laugh or something. We're getting all these villains somewhat
back. I hope that means my boy and Mega Red is somewhere out there.
You know, he's got to be greasing up those tentacles for another fight.
He has to remember me type of villain, honestly remember it? Yeah,
exactly who's remembering him? Logan again? Yeah? Maybe okay, because
he forgot about him in the last whatever a couple of years since we've seen
him, right, Yeah, I guess so unless when was the last time
we seen him? He was he in the tank? Was he in the
submarine or was there and I think they kicked his ass again or something like
that if I'm recalling. But we maybe Morpho just turn into a Mega Red,
you know, Logan gets off on that. But yeah, I wasn't
sure. I think with the art style, you could go either way of
it's an attack. And when Forge got bin it looked like he was getting
lots of like stuff going through his body. So it could just be this
thing puts out auras of an attack. It could just be literally an art
style of Hey, we want this all going off, or it could be
yeah, stuff going on our head. So I really don't know. I
was taken aback, but I think again, so far, each episode they've
done a good job of hanging, like leaving on some sort of cliffhang,
and we're like, man, I want to know what's gonna happen next,
and we won't get to know what happens till two weeks now. With these
ones, I'm sure Storm's power will come back and shall pop off, but
it's all about the journey, you know. M hm, True enough,
I guess. So one thing I wanted to talk about here is, uh,
I've never really understood what exactly is Forge's ability, and he kind of
explains what his power is, which is essentially just like the plot of Limitless
is kind of what I came to the realization of, where he can just
dream up these crazy inventions well that only his brain can conceive of, and
only his brain can like put them together. So essentially he's just like really
smart, but only in like specific ways, like he can make tech,
he can make really good bison chili, but even then it's like his dad's
chili. So I don't know, if it's really his creation, so give
me it better. Better, He made it better. He puts some additional
some little paprika in there, you know, a little little ex or something
on top a couple of screws. Yeah, but I it's the more interesting
part about it, which kind of ties into what he did in terms of
like giving the government all that uh information or I guess giving them like the
prototype whatever you want to call it, for that thing that can suck away
the mutant powers. Is that it seems like he he it's like a vampire,
like he needs to create shit, or he just goes insane. I
don't know. I feels like his brain just starts popping off too much,
you know, and like limitless that lets you hit one hundred percent of your
brain capacity, like puts him at one hundred and twenty, and then he
starts to disintegrate or something. Because otherwise, like if you don't have the
resources to build, couldn't you just like not build for a bit and then
come back when you do, or like couldn't you get more inventive and make
things with less resources. It just seemed weird to me that he like the
solution for that problem was to go to the government, unless it is like
I was saying, like a vampire's thirst, like he absolutely needs to do
this or he'll die or something. But what was your guys' take on that?
I guess that set up for why he did what he did. Anyone
please, yeah, no, yeah, you can go Kirkland, Kirklin,
I'd love to hear you take away Trevis. I thought it was fine.
I thought it was I won't say shoe warned because I don't know when else
in the show we would have got this revelation right of like I guess maybe
back in the episode, but it would just been weird, like, oh,
we got this tech from you named Forge, and at that point,
it's almost like they would have had no touchstone to it. So I think
it worked good enough to give them some trauma per se. I'm more curious
too, have like, do you think that when he said he loved her,
would she have set it back if he didn't give that information, because
I feel like she just still wasn't vibe in general, like I didn't feel
like she was also fall in love with Forge. I could be wrong.
I mean, he loves a strong word. I don't think she would have
been at the love stage yet. Yeah, but I think there's more something.
I think there's something more going on with Forage in that confession. Also,
Yeah, so like it worked enough for me. It creates some drama,
and I guess I would prefer this more than maybe some other drama things,
like I'm glad they just didn't make it that he did say that he
loved her and then oh that's the contention point. It's just they're not getting
along because she doesn't have the same feelings yet. And I think that this
could I don't know where it's gonna play into the future. No pun intended
with Forge, but obviously he is. In Life dev two, we've seen
them using other weapons like that gun that did take Storm's power. In a
sense, like it's almost like in a sense because they're not saying he directly
was a part of the Sentinel, like he didn't create that version, right,
like that gun that took Storm's powers. But I still feel like almost
in a way, he kind of led to that that type of technology,
being creative. And that's also where I think that did add to ford Forges
motivations because the same thing he's almost indirectly could have possibly cause Storm losing her
powers, right, So I think that's great motivation and answers everything of why
did he just show up? Why is he here? I like they talked
a little bit about his backstory, which we kind of know a little bit
of, but he just kind of reaffiliated that, especially for new watchers because
as we've said before that sure he can go back. But I think they've
done a good job with Mojo and this where for us who just watched all
five seasons, we maybe don't need it, but I think they're doing a
good job of you can jump in and just watch this note Okay, this
is who Forges. So I liked it for the most part. Like I
said it now that that's random, I guess it's just not where I thought
we were gonna go with it. But I need to see a bit more
fall out, But overall I liked it. So yeah, I feel like
there is they're giving us certain answers to questions that I just really didn't need
the answers to, like specifically, like the roots of some of the I
guess the tech that has been taking out some of our X men in the
past. It's just I don't know I'm so used to there just being like
something that just takes powers away, like like I'm so used to that,
even not just X Men, like other shows like an Avatar for example,
there's like certain people that can just take away like banding powers. So it's
just like even like Dishonored, right, like like the Overseers, I have
the music that just take away the powers, Like I'm so used to that
kind of trope in it that it was just accepted. I do like that.
It kind of gives us more I don't know, complexity with a character
like Forge that maybe was like really in the background of past, like he
would only ever show up in the Days of Future past type segments of those
episodes. So it is interesting more so than just having like a random goon,
like a random scientist just to just forget about to have those I think
links to the certain tech there. But I don't know. I really wasn't
too I don't even want to say like too fond of this like back half
episode, but it was more so of just like okay, like this is
this is the start of this multi part here. I'm I'm I'm curious going
forward, what's gonna happen? But I don't think this was the the top
tier setup that maybe I don't even know if I was expecting it. I
like, I knew that I was gonna get more storm stuff this week,
but yeah, it didn't. Really, I don't know. I don't.
I don't feel like I had a hearty meal. Uh you know, like
I saw I saw it on the menu. I knew I was getting a
storm, but I wasn't super satisfied with my meal. I guess you didn't
have the VI chili. I didn't have the vice in chili. No,
specifically Papa's. But yeah, maybe maybe next time, maybe I'll get Papa's.
M hm. Well, I wasn't expecting to get that little kind of
backstory with his character and just how he was detailing it, And I thought,
Okay, that's interesting how his character can acts one hundred percent of the
brain. Because I was immediately thinking limitless as well, Dylan, and then
just talking about do you guys love that movie? I I used to love
that movie when I was a kid. I enjoyed. I never watched the
show. I heard it wasn't that good. Who's got the time for that?
Jennifer Carbon from Dexter's in there loves a strong word, but I enjoyed
it. But yeah, overall, I think him him pleading to Storm,
like oh I love you Storm, Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean
I feel like this is rinse and repeat. At this point, everyone fucking
loves Storm. That's true. What's not to love? Well, she's great.
I think that's awesome. But like every every mutant seems to be in
love with you. Gotta say though he had some nice lines that he was
saying. I was like, I could live forever, and in all those
days of building the most beautiful devices, I could never build something as beautiful
as you. He said it a little bit more eloquently, but that was
like, damn, dude, he doesn't. Charles just like, boy,
are you hot? You know it's You're the hottest person I've ever seen in
my life. My beautiful ZOEA God, damn you're great. Out of gold.
I just can't even get their words there. I'm so flustered when you're
in the room, Storm, I definitely don't hold it again, Tim for
creating those like the early concept for those you Net cards. No, I
don't because I feel like it's just a mutant taken advantage of it's like Logan
being taken advantage of for what he was part of at the beginning. And
I just feel like all these mutants that have gone through very tribulative past experiences
where before mutant rights weren't a thing and they were trying to find their place
in the world, and humans are just taking advantage of them and exploiting them.
So I think that it's it's it serves the fact that he understood that
it was wrong and he grew from that, and he's changed and worked for
the better, to better mutant kind, and now he's here trying to help
Storm. So I think there's a lot of merit to that, and I
give him credits. Plus he's a hero too. When you look in the
future, I mean jump ahead like one hundred years. Man, the guy's
a fucking saint in the future with all the stuff he's trying to do,
sending Bishop all over the fucking place, like just like a madman. So
he's definitely he's earned he's earned his merits. He described him as a saint
and as a man. Then in the same sentence, it yeah, I
h once, there were some moments I really enjoyed, I really liked them
drawing the parallels between their powers, because you know, I cannot really name
two mutants who have just complete opposite powers were forged before this episode, and
it never even understood like what exactly his power was, and versus Storm,
who has like the most monastic powers, like oh mega level insane power,
And to kind of draw those parallels between you know, Storm really just being
emotional and not having her powers anymore, and him talking about his need to
use his powers too in a very different but same way, I thought was
kind of just a cool thought. It makes you think about everyone else in
their powers and how it's just, yeah, it is like a part of
their identity more than it's just like this cool thing they can do right like
and without it, And obviously that changes a whole lot, especially for someone
like Storm who, yeah, just like she just misses flying around in the
wind and how like suffocating it is, but yet how beautiful it is.
I thought her wording there was really cool, and so I like that moment
when they're riding the horses together. She can kind of feel a little she
can feel like, you know, three percent of how good it feels,
I'm sure when she's like actually flying around in the in the wind there.
I just thought that was a really sweet scene. So I thought they had
just overall just some really great dialogue between the two characters, with a couple
exceptions of those random plot points I mentioned that I was a little confused on
it was. It was definitely something different than I think anything really that we
had seen, even just in like the old show, just like heavy dialogue
between two characters like that, without too much extra things going on. So
yeah, that's definitely a good shout out there. It was noticeable, I
think just the fact that they were just in you know, a beautiful terrain
with on some nice horses. Man, just watch Hidalgo right before this too,
and then this episode, I'm like, man, the crossovers, but
no, So I did like that sequence for sure in this episode going.
Another thing I really enjoyed was the sequence when Forged, I don't know,
he does something to try and help Storm recover her powers, and they go
outside to test those powers, and so she's just like yelling into the into
the air, and I really like that. It starts with like the very
classic like I am Storm and I humming lterential wind, you know, like
something crazy like that. And then she tries like a little bit lesser version
of that and then just down to like please wins hear me, she's getting
very emotional. I thought that was a really great breakdown to like kind of
the fake out of the trees are moving, but then yeah, some birds
just pop out once again, just really emotionally, really well done. Seen.
Yeah, I laugh, but no, it's really good. Think about
the disappointment, dude feel in that moment when you think something might be happening
just a bird pop sou But I think the show's gonna do a really good
job in Life dep Part two when she gets that power and whatever, whether
the bird whatever is, I think she's gonna really pop off and we're gonna
see a storm like no other pun intended. But it's gonna nice look up
for that forecast, you know. So yeah, great work. I think
we say this so for a time, but still like great work on the
voice actress too. I can't remember is this the same storm as before or
not, because I feel like if it's not, she sounds the closest to
what she did the original series. But I thought it was. I thought
it was because of just how much it sounds like her. Certain individuals really
just stand out I think as being different, but no, she feels authentic
here og ogs og Yeah, I'm gonna say so born nineteen fifty nine,
So yeah, there you go. Yeah it was so yeah, she just
and but she's like not to like I said, not to be mean,
but like with Rogue, original voice actress, but still sounds like Okay,
she's definitely you know, the voice is aged little. But with Storm,
don't you don't get that feeling? Really it sounds almost just like the exact
same. Even Wolverine like sounds like he's age little, but that kind of
works with Logan because he has that harassed But it doesn't even matter. A
beautiful Storm you have an age today. Yeah, you have vocal cords of
an angel, but in those vocal exercises, keeping the vocal going, oh,
in the goddish anything else? I got a question for you guys.
So Forge confesses his love here, which seems incredibly quick to do such a
thing. And I understand that's an animated show, but to me, I
was getting more vibes and even just the way Forge shows up in this story
and what was like the cliffhanger of was it last week, it all felt
very rushed in a way, and it makes me think, like, do
you guys think this Forge came from the future in a future where he was
with Storm and that Storm is no longer around, and that's why he loves
her and it feels so strongly and wants to help her, and yeah,
mostly just that love love angle of it, and that's why he's so invested
in her and wants to go down this route. To me, that would
explain in a way why Forge is here in the present day, which doesn't
make sense for the you know, this is a continuation of ninety two.
It doesn't really make sense why he's here, and we haven't talked about that
yet. So that's kind of my going ongoing theory, which I think could
be a really interesting angle if if landed correctly, which I mean, this
show's nailing it so far, so I'm sure they will. I really hope
that is the case, because if it's not, I think this is just
it like brings down some some love that I had for for she was never
top tier character in my mind. But yeah, if he's just you know,
I mean, it sounds like Storm is just literally a goddess everybody's fallen
in love with her right away. But there was definitely an observation I had
just how quick it felt to get to there, especially just if he had
found her in a bar like last time we had seen them. Yeah,
now long have they been in working together? Though, that's the thing,
not long. I wouldn't imagine a couple of days. Did they give us
a time? Has it been a couple of days? Said? Four hours?
So they said, yeah, guys have funds just pregnant. He's like,
you know, definitely no more than two days for me? You think
so two days? I thought at least a few weeks leaning into a month.
If it is a few weeks, I that is a huge con for
me, and I feel like we needed to see more of that relationship developed.
I'm also I'm also not saying a few weeks would justify him being that
in love as well. But I mean, I don't think it would take
long for Storm. She does something special. But two days is a bit
did much. I don't know I'd be in love with Storm for two days.
But yeah, no, I get the I got the I got the
vibe you might be right about there might have been something as that classic movie
time traveling tale where you're in love but you know they don't know yet.
But the problem is Forge fucked up because you're usually not supposed to say those
things. You're supposed to try and let them happen naturally. Everyone go watch
About Time Grace romcom of All Time that gives you the four to one one
what you're supposed to do there. Forge not making great choices because now it's
putting the cart before the horse a little bit so. And it's tough though,
because right away before I go, I'm like, oh, but she's
supposed to be a logan. But then I always forget that. Well,
that was like a possible future, right, Like I always have in mind
they're gonna end up together at some point, but that was a future that
was gone, Like they killed that future, right, so not necessarily has
to happened. So and even then, maybe there was some maybe she was
with Forge until she fell on the arms of Wolverine and he got cocked out.
I don't know, but I do think it's something that he could reveal
Forge. I think it's gonna be all you know this episode. He revealed
the love thing, he revealed the collar thing. There could be more.
So, Yeah, I think it's possibility that they were something was happening in
the future those two. Again, we've don't know Forge's age and when the
real Forge is there, when he's not, it's been all over so same
thing of like even in the future, I guess I'd have to go back,
wasn't I don't know was Forge in that episode remember when Wolverine and Storm
were married, because I just feel like Forge is considerably older than them,
and Storm being alive would not track. So it's the problem with time travel
stuff, right of like who's when, what's where? They seemed about the
same age to me, Yeah, definitely here they just I don't know IF's
the way the animated them or drew them, but they definitely seem the same
age. But like but, but I'm saying, like if when he was
born, I feel like when we looked at the day's future past, remember
they're like hundreds of years in the future, like she's dead when he's worn.
To me, I feel like in this show there's like you're either super
old like Magneto and Xavier, you're a kid like Jubilee and Sunspot, or
you're just all the exact same age at like whatever, like thirty seven or
something like, all the characters look identical in age. Me. Yeah,
that's fair. Were you leaning over there, Taylor? What's going on to
a fly there or something? A fly? I'm scotching getting a good angle?
Oh? Did you get a great angle? Oh? I'm getting that
good? Anything else on this episode? You still He's just like, you're
not it's in your leg? Are you? I have two things actually from
the first part, we didn't mention them earlier, but when is the second
time we've seen Blob this season? He was in the Genosha section, so
that's interesting notable. The other thing was we we kind of skipped over this
sequence. Uh. I think Taylor briefly mentioned it. But the rogue gambit
Magneto like coffee scene at the very start of the episode, or gambits like,
you know, here, here's the sugar for your coffee, rogue and
she's like, oh, thanks. But then Magneto comes in and he's he's
already done it perfectly where he's about two and he knows, oh, it's
it's clearly three spoons of sugar, which is a lot of sugar for Roe.
But you know, she she's worth it. But and then I love
even the just the line after that Gambit has where he's he's like, oh,
next time you're getting coffee, He's like, let me know, and
Magneto is like not no. He just does not even humor him in any
way, which is just savage, considering, uh, don't take orders.
Yeah, all that's happened between them, So I really I just loved how
cold Magneto was through that whole sequence and uh yeah, just rubbing it into
Gambit. So that was a that was a really fun That's like, that's
like the peak of what I want from the relationship. Draw on this SHOEA.
I just want to gambit. Then you pick up and throw a whole
deck of cards. I'm just explode them in front of everybody. You know,
get kicked out. Man, you don't mess with the boss. Or
maybe it's like Prairie Dog rules. He just becomes the leader now of the
X menual. I was watching a National geographic doc last night, Parallel Prairie
Dog. So I'm gonna say they fight a lot. They fight a lot.
It's crazy how much they fight over territory. But I want to I
want him just to throw a car. I just so badly, and I
know MAGNII will like win pretty much, but I do want to see Gambitt
like fuck him up a little. But that's what I was gonna say,
Who makes the first physical If we get a physical altercation, who makes the
first move? Oh, it's gonna be Gambit gambit for sure. Magneto does
not think twice about Gambit. Yeah exactly. I feel like the only reason
leading Magneto is because we have to get to Rogue picking Gambit and he has
to do something shitty. And I could just see them arguing and MAGNEI throw
his big magnetic dick around. But when while doing that that turns Rogue off
to be like, well, like him just throwing a mental peace at him
or something like that. I could see Magneto making the first move in Rogue
actually not being attracted that thinking like kind of little man syndrome. To be
clear, you don't think he actually has a magnetic dick, do you?
Ah? This season, yes, Charles left in his will. He's like,
oh, you left us back at my place? Wait is it an
attachment? It's like the helmet clips right on there. Charles couldn't give me
fake boners when I wore this metal cock always hard mania. Oh Charles took
my aluminum cock. But no, I just think that if someone's gonna like
Gambit is the hot head one. So here's the thing. If Gamut makes
the first move, it's because Magneto does something shitty to Rogue. I'll say
that, like he pushed like he's I don't think they're gonna make him like
Hitter or something, but something to that extent. I don't like, you
know what I mean, like pushing it away. Yeah, I don't think
they're gonna do that, But I feel like I don't think Gambag's just gonna
start fighting. I could be wrong. I hope. I hope there's some
altercation, though I want to see him fight a little digs like this week
after week after week. I can see that building up to him popping off
a bit. Gambage shown more patients than maybe I would have given him credit
for. Yeah, mm hmm. And Magneto we did see obviously he's turning
good, but he did almost just execute an entire senate two episodes ago.
He held the back, but he took them up to space and was just
gonna murder everybody. So he does also have a short fuse when needed,
you know. Yeah, but I think Rogue is uh calming him down.
Oh yeah, so what if she turns him down? And you know,
because we've all got a confirmation which I did see someone put it on our
YouTube Comps and a Marvel Alliance they talked about that that I think. I
don't know if it's confirmed or the theory is that Rogue and Magneedle were actually
not training, more of just programmed the the computer to do that just to
fuck with them. So that might have just been a joke by Morph somard
enough to like do that. Yeah, of course he's doing nothing. They're
doing nothing else. They're just sitting around changing into people and playing tricks.
So I guess true, I guess if I guess, if Morph gets powers,
Morph could turn themselves into Forge and then be a fucking limitless huge brain
person. So there you go. I'm just saying a gam no confirmation that
Rogue and mag Needle are shaking boots yet all they're clapping cheeks. I put
a bit more nicely, but no confirmation yet. We're almost halfway through the
season. Curkle and nothing. It's gonna be in the in the intro of
next week's episode. Remember it's the smash cut of Magnetola that was gonna yeah
yeah, Rogue is back with Gambit and then Magni is like remember it,
and then he just drops it. It's like the Spider Man sequence. It's
like last night I was and then she just touches Magneto, gets his powers,
crushes his cock when he's wearing the aluminum cock or he's got the metal
Yeah, that's yeah, she'll just crush it. Okay, anything else,
I'll get out of here, go to anywhere, rauteless and on the illuminum
cock. I will give this. I'll get it. One and a half.
I think that overall it's a one, but I think the visuals between
the actual arcades stuffs like the you know, the old school gaming stuff,
and I actually think Mojo looked really good at times. That's where I am
one and a half there, so visuals kind of tipped over. I think.
I don't know. I liked it enough, but I don't know if
I want too many, I'd have to maybe see one more, like in
season two, if we get another half episode, I think I need one
more. I think I lean on the side if I still like it being
a full episode for one, but like I said, maybe I need a
little more taste. But overall one and a half that's what I'll give it.
Still strong episode, enjoyed my time with it and had some fun talking
about it. I'm gonna go with you know, I'm still when I think
about my rankings for this, I'm kind of considering how I ranked ninety two,
and to me, this is like this would be one of the best
ninety two episodes. So I'm gonna give this a double thumb. Still it's
still it's of course, as I mentioned, it's lesser than the first three
episodes of We've Got this season, but I think that's just once again how
good this show is. And the more we talked about some of the scenes
with Forge and Storm, like, I do think my score could change based
on what actually happens there in terms of the plot, but for what we
had today, I'm just gonna drop the double thumb and I don't think I'm
gonna regret it either. It's fair. I'm gonna go one single Deadpool thumb
up right there. Oh that that's a special thumb. It's a little thumb,
but it's up, so just one of those this week. When did
you purchase that Deadpool? I have no idea. I've had it for so
long on my desk. I think shame it has just had it one day
and gave it to me. I have no idea the origins of this Deadpool,
but he just stares at me. On my podcast, I am going
to a little Kirby. I'm gonna sneak one little thumb up in there.
And John Kurt another Deadpool, another dead Pool. He's very small. There
you go, Well, there we go. We'll be back next week with
remember It, see what's happening, hopefully get some fun juice going on there.
No idea, even though we could be. There's no plots in O
offices or anything. So it's fun kind of not knowing what's gonna happen next.
But I bet it'll not be boring. B
