Hello, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the X Men Retrospective. And
I am the Demon Tress now and I'm joined by I am the one Man
Kirkland Patzer. I'm the Misguided Soul uh ads Titterfield's Kirkling Toady. Nice very
quick drawing the change your name to watch the video. You can go see
their names for a little bit. What the usp because me and Dylan are
like, I couldn't remember for sure about yours and stuff like that. But
you know, here we are. We are in the final five five episodes
to go. No, sorry, five episodes were recording for us, not
five episodes to go for the series, but the final five retrospective episodes.
So yeah, we're dear near the end. I think. Now, if
you're falling along and you want to watch along every episode from now, it's
gonna be just it's five, five, five, because season two or season
five is only ten episodes and the rest of them kind of have these arecs.
So yeah, the next one, so that's gonna keep it easy for
you. It's always gonna be five. But yeah, this is the final
five and then we'll be on to hopefully the rumors are at the time this
recording we got that was gonna be early twenty twenty four, so of course
we'll do like a predictions episode. We'll probably do like a mini rankings episode,
just some manifair arcs or characters and stuff, so look up for that
when we finish. But yeah, we're getting closer and closer to it,
so it's very exciting. Let's talk about this. So we got five episodes
of season four, so we are doing season four episodes six to eleven.
If my computer is gonna load this thing up, come on with the ten,
six and sixten. Yeah, you're right, six to ten. I
was just at it right now. Okay, Season four episode six Courage,
very boring title, but you know, when we've been waiting more for a
bit here the day more Th rejoins the X Men, a tears attack and
a top secret high tech weapons factory goes down. The alert interrupts his homecoming
party. So, mister Muss, what do you think we we lost Morph
in season two and season three. He's just been recovering. I guess the
whole time somewhere getting the psyche ready. Big questions if it was ready,
But what did you feel about the return of Morphear. I was pretty let
down by this episode. I mean the episode in general had just like filler
episode energy the whole way through, and then I just don't understand why we
did this at all, Like More free joins the team and then at the
end, he's like, ah, actually I'm not in it. He just
like pieces out at the end. I guess I wish that if they were
gonna do this thing of More coming back to the team, then like make
him do like do that for a season, or like make it a four
or five episode long string, have something like that. But I feel like
generally, I don't know, it's weird because they oftentimes try to make these
episodes exist in a vacuum rights that whatever a kid is watching this show,
it's always like the same circumstances. But then they always do like three four
parters as well, So I don't know why they wouldn't do a longer string
of episodes with morph back in the team. So yeah, I was I
was just pretty bored by this episode. Then I didn't really like how it
ended either, just it's like, why did we do any of this?
So yeah, definitely definitely a low point for me. In this in This
Chunk episodes. M h uh, yeah, I am notorious Morphater on the
podcast. I think he's a loser. I will say, though, I
see him a little bit better, in a little bit better light after this
episode. And I feel like it's just because of the action sequence, like
him morphin into different heroes or villains. It's just like, man, like
that's actually it's actually a really cool power. And I haven't seen that used
up until this point. Like I think he switched into Angel. He was
Omega Red at one point, like like that showcase. Yeah, like all
of that stuff. It's like, man, this could actually be extremely powerful
abilities, and so we're fucked up. He's so mentally fucked he's so unreliable.
I'm confused that, like does he get powers are not like Omega Red.
I get like those tentacles are like I guess part of the body,
but it's it's very ambiguous, like how much power? He said? So
I can't remember if it was this character specifically or its characters like this,
but I was listening to Marvel lionce On and Bran had mentioned I think it
was about more or something like that. I think this way is with morph
where he can have access to these powers, but they are not as strong
as if you were to find the prime version of it. Okay, so
like if you like, maybe he has like a little healing factor, but
if he's getting shot, he's probably dying. I don't think like he has
the same strength that sasquatched us. So it's like he can appear them and
has the powers, but not to the same stratosphere. So that's what it
was. So there we go. The thing for me that was just badass
was the way that he was just like chaining them, like like it's like,
hey, I'm gonna use a make reay to ye dispatch this person angel
to fly and catch. So that was actually a really cool little sequence there.
But that was just the peak of the episode for me. I think
overall it was Yeah, like Dylan said, kind of had filler vibes for
me, especially just how it ended. It's like I'm just gonna disappear again.
It's like he came and went as fast as he came and went to
the first time around. So yeah, I didn't love the episode, but
I have a little bit more respect for Morph. But he's he's got to
fix that. Psyche he's he's pretty unreliable. I like did too. How
he just had that like Jubilee energy where it's like, yeah, you're gonna
have to stay at the mansion. He's like, but I'm useful, I
can do something. So kind of kind of reminded me of her there.
Yeah, even Jubilee is like laughing at him that he has to stay back
and I don't trust him. That's you know, it's bad when Jubile is
laughing at you. But I'll go just because I'll jump off something. Kirkl
And said that it will be interesting because I don't think he is in any
any more episodes that we're going to talk about, but he has been confirmed
to be a roster of in ninety seven, so hopefully they kind of do
something like he is finally repair, like he's gone through and which which is
interesting because I was reading about this because I remember this, like I watched
this episode. It's like I thought he was confirmed and he is because this
time he's more confirmed. We've seen the photos where he's more but he's just
like white, like he's just like a non disable figure. The reason they're
doing that is because he's goal. Sorry, now he is now going by
them in the show. So I didn't figure out why they've made Morph look
like that because obviously he had taken the form of a guy many times.
So that made me question, like, is this not what he naturally looks
like? Is he just has he picked a guy to look like the whole
time? So I really don't know, but that almost does play into it.
If he has some psyche thing of trying to find himself and he comes
back, is like he's found himself more in a gender role that he's appropriate
with, So that could be interesting. I hope they actually talk about it
and it's not just like, oh, yeah, he's there. Are they
them? And they look like this now like we've seen Disney do that a
bunch of times, right, But I'll try to head canon it. But
again, they are confirmed because the two new members are Bishop and Morph,
they're gonna be fully on the team, so that's gonna be interesting. So
I'm wondering if we're gonna lose some peelch will tell about predictions, but I'm
with Kirkland. I don't know if I'm a Morph hater, but I'm not
a Morph enthusiast. I don't like him being on the main I'm torn because
I think I'm with Dylan where I think four to five episodes, you didn't
even have to do a whole like part one of more if part two more
of just have him there and then after be like, you know what,
I'm not ready for this, And that's fine. If he's not be on
the X Men, he shouldn't be there. He'll put the whole team in
danger. But I just think that Morph h I liked it. I like
the whole room was chummy to see him, but I think they just they
could have done a lot more with and especially because it's the way we're reviewing
it right where we're reviewing in a more adult mind and critically he's been gone
for a season and a half and we're like, what's this follow up gonna
be with Morph? And there's not much to it. It's good, they
sees everyone, there's a little arc, and then they decide I'm not I
don't I'm not fit for this team anymore. So it was a It was
fine, but I think they could have done a lot more of Morph coming
back. Even a two parter would have been great. So it's even just
added on too tattoo, Like there's so many episodes in which the X Men
roster, like some of them are just absent and there's never an explanation like,
oh, rogues just not here for like sometimes three or four episodes at
a time. Again, but will be a way storm will be busy.
So even if they like if they want to bring more from the show,
you don't always have ideas for what to do with the character in episode,
just like leave them on the bench and it doesn't affect anything at all.
So it is especially weird considering the show, at least for the last season
and a half, I feel like has really just been like some of his
characters have just disappeared and they never explained why, even though their powers would
be very helpful in the situation they find themselves in. And I think that's
at least one thing with the new show. I feel like that's not gonna
happen too much because I feel like they are gonna write it in a bit
more opisive. Yeah, season one is this arc, you know, because
they've said there's a season two as well, so I feel like you'll of
course get your offshoot episodes like oh, this is just a fun episode with
these set of characters, but I think there will be a bit more thought.
And because I'm not saying they didn't think of these episodes, there was
just a different era of television right where you didn't have to It was just
like you said, for kids sometimes. So, Taylor, what did you
feel about Courage? I kind of am on the same page with you,
guys, like I do like Morph, and it's a shame that Morph is
just done now. I was looking forward to the return, but the return
is very underwhelming one episode arc for this too. I agree like you said,
Dylan just bench him. He does not need to go back to his
slowly. I did also kind of hate that he was just getting kind of
shot upon. I felt like Cyclopes is kind of being a little mean,
but well it's fair, but I just give us some time, like he
is still a powerful asset and like that line that he dropped and he's like
I don't want oh, we don't want you to go with us. He
like switched it up. But yeah, I feel like they could have done
more with the episode. So it's definitely not a higher end of the tier
episode, I guess. And how I'm feeling with this that being said,
though, I mean, you made some great points correctly and seeing how his
powers were able to fluctuate into different capacities and be able to do different things,
which is great. And I guess if this was to serve as another
point in the future, but you said, Travis, we're not really going
to be getting more again, and I think that is a shame because this
episode, this episode could be a great foundation groundwork for setting something up with
him down the road. But if we're not getting that down the road,
then again, it just really defeats the purpose of this episode and how they
did things. So yeah, and I could be wrong. Maybe there's like
maybe there's like he appears for something, but I don't think they come back
in any sort of massive role morph. I think this is kind of it.
And plus we're in the last twenty episodes now, so there's you know,
as you can see, there's lots of like part twos and threes coming
up that probably don't have anything to do with Morph. But yeah, let's
go down what specifically we want to talk about. Wolvering got to laugh again,
you know, that's good. Gave him a hug too. That was
like very uncharacteristic Wolverine. Yeah, he's been sharing some more emotions than he's
used to. I like that. So master Mold is in here. Master
Mold's doing some fun stuff. And because I feel like to this point,
like as master Mold only appeared once before, maybe twice before, or like
maybe it's two hard, but I feel like like off in the distance,
it's like Master's watching this go down. It seems like as of now,
like master Mold is because I thought Master Mold just destroyed and considering it's like
a robot, it's like, Okay, well he's just gone completely and that's
fine. You know, he's more than that, Whereas like mister Sinister's always
gonna like revive somehow. Yeah, but yeah, I feel like master Molds
hit that status now of like a mister Sinister or and apocaup stor he's just
kind of hanging out in the background. He's always gonna exist and he's just
gonna be the leading like the big bad behind everything for an arc here there.
He's not necessarily as interesting as any of those, but I still like
master Mold for the cheesiness. I'm also like, I love that card in
Marvel Snap. So I'm a little partial to him in that way. But
I just find it funny that master Molds always sitting in the big throne and
they just like never really animate the character, like his mouth will move a
little bit. In this episode, he does get to go into his Spider
mode, which I really like the master Mold little Spider attachment that he had
going on there. But yeah, I'm I like that this is another one
of those kind of recurring villains and I'm curious if this is one that would
appear in this revival of the series because it seems like kind of in the
background. But he's like he's appeared enough now that he's becoming someonerelevant. He
he also like fits that category of villains that makes sense to just keep coming
back, like if he can just be getting repaired in this Sentinels are just
always repairing him and bringing him back. Like I'm not like, oh this
guy again, Like how the fuck is he back? Like it does make
sense, and I like how he just he has his vendetta, like he
has his mission and he's he's gonna he's gonna try his hardest to stop them.
Well, I know there's one episode with the Sentinels next season, so
it's not out of the realm of possibility that master Mold is around. I
think I like him more in the sense of when he comes back for one
offs in this spulk of episodes, he's around quite a few bit. I
guess I'm not always too in tune with the robot villain where he doesn't have
too many emotions, but I think he still works. He has a cool
look, right, He's very cool in sci fi. He's like a towy
wish I had when I was that age, So I think you guys a
rite that you can kind of I feel like he's kind of I guess I
like him being plugged in more than Apocalypse because we talked about, like in
season one or two that Apocalypse was gonna even plugged him way too many times,
like who is this is like all Apocalypse behind it all. I'd rather
be master Mold because he feels like he has a bit more of these smaller
issues going on that master Mold is small. But yeah, I think he
works for the most part. And it again just it's classic writing and like,
of course, what would what would the first mission that Morph gets sent
on? Oh, the Sentinels are back, the ones that blew him to
shreds and like now he has all this, like this was the time for
him to sit at home and like send someone else. I know that was
on the point, but it was just funny. Of course, out of
all the issues, well they're back and more good luck, so it worked
out in a funny way. So yeah, I like that idea that he
okay, he has to face his fears. But it makes you wonder too,
like if he gets a little bit of the power of the people he's
morphed into, Like why wouldn't you just like turn himself into a colossus in
that moment, he would have been a okay and then he wouldn't have to
deal with any of this. But I don't know, it seems like he's
like sometimes he's great at using his powers, like you said, Kirkling,
in this episode, he's really popping off, really comboing them together, but
other times he just kind of forgets that he's capable of. Yes, Master
Mold, I'm always pleasant pleasantly surprised to see him, because he's definitely I
was someone that I feel like I always forget compared to our other villains that
they've established prominently. But when he appears, which I'm excited to talk about
him again and then in the same episode. But he uh, he was
very freaky I felt this time around because especially his agenda was more sinister too
right with what he's trying to do, and even had like the way he
was moving his head around and more so like just that was like remind me
of the thing almost with like the legs that came out of the head kind
of a thing. So that was a cool different twist because we haven't really
seen him maneuver around like that. He's always had his big body. I
think with that voice, you should be more following easy costume. You know,
you don't got to do much. I'm I'm fine, you know,
work on the left. He's got a wild laugh. It was so hot
when he readed Wolverine and just like I get it because, like I said,
this connection, but Wolverine's like, he's like, look like you've seen
a ghost actually look like this. He just turns into Logan looking at him.
It's just like, man, no wonder my Scott hates the sky.
He's just like, why is he doing this? But there's all this was
weird animation that it was right when the mission was starting and they're looking at
a screen and the screen is like scrolling a pass like they're trying to find
sentinels or something, and it's just them using the same animation of like Logan
and Morph keep looking at each other and back of the screen and I'll like
say a dialogue and went out for thirty seconds. It was very long,
and I wish it didn't go on as long as that, but you know,
good to have them back together. The Wolverine for some reason, has
like a soft spot. It's hurt for Morph and it was shown again here
because he was willing to accept him back, And it makes sense Wolverines had
a dark pass too, so it makes sense he would be fine with it.
But yeah, and even then, I maybe would have liked Morph to
interact a bit more with the team as well, even if he was just
there for one episode, because once they go on the adventure, it's a
lot of fighting and I wish there's a bit more dynamic because again, he
like had Gene and Scott, they were tied up health captive. You know,
there's a lot. Yeah, and he put them through a lot.
Remember the night where he just decided to destroy the mansion and like poses each
one of them, like it is a big break of trust, but we
didn't get too much of that. So another another question on Morph's powers and
maybe we've talked about this in a previous episode, but I can't remember,
Like how how can like what are his capabilities? He's Omega Red Sasquatch,
Like does that mean that he is engaged with them? He's seen them?
Like if he just sees something info of them on a terminal, is that
enough to be like, Okay, I can transform into that character because Sasquatch
makes sense to me, I could understand when you know what I think it's
Alpha Flight right, like that that there was some connection there where he bumped
into Sasquatch, he met that character Omega Red though, seems like how do
you even know who this guy is? And then the big one for me
was long Shot because long Shot like what comes from like a different dimension,
and it's like, how do you know who long Shot is? And like
why would you switch in a lot like that? Seems like I need to
see the background episode, the backstory episode of where Morph engaged or even just
knows of the existence of long Shot. Maybe it's kind of like when you
start a new job and you have to do a work orientation a computer and
read a bunch of modules and it's like, oh, I read through them
all. Maybe they got him do one of those. He's like, these
are a new PHO one of the computers at that match, and must have
just like a breakdown of like, hey, here's what this guy is.
Here's his powers. Xavier just like connect to his mind and upload all,
like here's a whole new roster, two years worth of memory just uploaded in
your mind. Breaks his psyche again. He just knowing Professor X and he's
not always stable. He probably drops some accidental ones in there too. Here's
a laundra and why yeah, why do you need to change your landra?
Oh, don't worry about him. Yeah, I'll talk about that another time.
You owe us more. He almost destroyed us. Yeah, I don't
have too much more on this episode. Yeah, we talked about the Trask
too. Write what Trask was doing? Because Trask was like being used by
Master Mold. Wasn't he Grek or whatever? This wonder? Am I confusing
that? Okay? Then I confused with the other one. I didn't even
write it in my notes so I think that just goes to show how much
I thought about that better because well it's because yeah, Master Moold like sends
the Sentinels to the man and then they find the other location the other locations
to go get Trask and Gyrik, right that's his name or guy, I
think it's Gyric. Man. I like it too. Othery're just like pissed
off at each other in the shack, like this is all gone, and
then the fucking Sentinels just show up and take them. It's like, oh
man, it is not going well. There was so much distension between those
two. They really hate each other. They deserve it though, right,
they're terrible people, all the worse than so do you. So none of
us are really you know, big fans, well maybe other than Kirklan,
who's a Morph haters happy he's not joining the team officially, but like the
justification of Morph not joining the team because he doesn't feel like he's ready yet.
Yeah, I don't know, Like I feel like this episode like that's
where you'd be like, okay, I'm ready now, Like I I just
proved my worth popped off work with the team. They should have lost the
mission. They should have lost and Master won't still be out there. Dude.
I guess he is kind of because we get the episodes, but I
mean, like it should have been that they you know, no one,
maybe Morph save somebody, but they don't get the bad guys. They don't
say the day completely and then like, oh, I'm not ready for this.
But yeah, they did complete the mission, but I guess it's just
that Pa, he's just really worried about coming up to some other sentinels again.
But yeah, I think they could have done. That's where our two
part would have been good, because you could have had, you know,
a cliffhanger and then the X Men do save the day in the next part,
but maybe it's not because of Morph, and Morph realizes that, Okay,
I want to be here, but I can't contribute like the rest of
you. Yet after a year and a half of therapy, he's still Mister
Sister did a number on them, you know, Mister Sister really messed with
them. So I wish there was a little more stakes so that I'm not
ready for this, but m yeah, I didn't like it because I obviously
this has like been my favorite Morph appearance. It was like, holy crap,
he's actually popping off, and then we just lose him minutes later.
And it also just feels like if he isn't ready, the X Mansion is
probably the best place to get ready, Like they have a danger room,
like he can he can face his fears, go against the sentinels and in
a controlled environment, and also just like speak to other people that are going
through the same thing, Like isn't the what the whole ex mansions for is
for mutants that like are struggling with this to like just find them get you
know, get some inner strength. And I I just it didn't make sense
at all. It just seemed like we we interacted with him and now he's
just gone. And that was the little side quiest And like that's why it
feels like a filler episode so much, because by the end of it,
other than like the Master Morph stuff, which I don't think is a real
major big deal like going forward, it's just it's just a moment to interact
with Morph again, which just very side questy. I'm now picturing that scene
from I forget what season it was, where I think it's Beast. He's
in the training room just swinging around doing some practice and then some way yeah,
whoever, I forget what the situation was turned the difficulty of when he's
practicing the scentine holes. Ah, I was in this situation before and just
in there thousands, I'll give you a therapy about this after, super nice,
gentle guy. But he just hates Morph now. Yeah, even then,
that was there would be some good episodes if they did that route where
everyone other than Wolverine just didn't like them. We didn't want to associate with
Morph, right I could, And then they learned like, oh we're being
we're being what we hate, you know, like it would be a good
way, but they're they're usually forgiving right. People do bad things and right
away they're like, come back in here. Except for Wharf, but I
get it that was a other issue. Mm hmmm mm hmm. Anything else
on this one. That's it. Single Thumb for making me like Morph a
little bit more. I'm gonna go to single thumb because talk with you guys
made me laugh more about it. There you go, we got you the
thumb. Uh. Secrets not long buried buried. When Cyclone flies solo to
a tiny Russian desert community to see an old friend, his plane has blasted
out of the sky and unable to use his powers. He struggles into town,
only to discover his friend is missing and the town is caught in the
grips of a military and mutant only anti human hate group. That's a lot
of words for me. That was really weird putting together the Children of the
Shadow. I don't know you guys feel I'm laughing because I do not think
this is a bad episode. This is this episode that's not for me.
I did not enjoy it, Like this is an episode and I like Scott
Summers. I like Cyclops we've talked about before, especially early scenes, like,
oh, I wish we got more of him because he's supposed to be
the leader, right, this is not the more of him I want.
I don't like the villains. I done Tanaka on him. The only thing
I really enjoyed this episode is just Cyclopes fucking hates Tanaka. Anytime you brought
like it gave me the vive that Cyclopes was racist in my opinion, like
he was really unnecessarily aggressive towards Tanaka in a way that made me uncomfortable.
I didn't enjoy this. I don't even think it's it's just it was not
an episode for me, not a story for me. There's nothing. This
is one I probably would skip when I'm like or I would like put it
on to like do you know other work podcasts, editing, cooks, something
like that, But there wasn't anything even Scott Summer's heroes like really liking.
So yeah, not not not a good one for me. The what was
this episode called? Again? Secrets not Long Buried? Yeah? How could
you forget? It just rolls off the time. This is a yeah,
this is just an incredibly weird episode. Like the cast of characters introduced,
You're like, fucking watchdog I'm like, dude, watch dog man. We
need him a bone breaker on the fucking mcu x men roster. God damn,
but I'd be just so curious to read through a comic where where Cyclopes
goes to skull Mass and just see like some of the other iterations of this
because it is just a bunch of weird characters, weird storyline, Cyclops acting
just completely deranged like it is it is. It is a weird episode.
So I think I I liked it, like a curiosity, but it definitely
like I don't want to hang out with Cyclops after this. It just doesn't
seem like someone who would be fun to hang out with. This would have
fit in the like the era where Gene was gone, and I would have
cut him some slack because remember they made him more of a dick. I
was like, okay, I would get it. Dan, he's like an
angry cyclops. But it's like everything's going relatively well. Jean's back and I
was just looking too. I think Watchdog might only be made for this show.
Really, Yeah, his first appearance and only appear Yeah, February seventeen,
nineteen sixty nine, man or nineteen ninety six, nineteen sixty nine.
Man, fuck it. If I can direct an mc x one thing,
I'm bringing Watchdog in at some point, Man, that that's what I want.
I wouln't need five yet. But yeah, it looks like I wish
Michael Clarke Duncan was still live, man, because that's that's the go to.
Who's cast now Vin Diesel's taken. He would have been from Fantastic four.
Whoever that actors is from the first live action Oh Michael Chickliss, Yeah,
that guy, he's got the facial structure. Time. I'll have to
think about that powers telepathy, electrical distribution and power suppressions. There you know
his powers good? There it is. Yeah, I I didn't like this
episode. I I found it interesting seeing some different mutants. It's always fun
to see some new ones. Watchdog in one of them. Salar. I
thought he was just his aesthetic was pretty cool, very much fit like this
show of just like the Bright Colors. Thought that was cool. Gott is
he Toad here? That was a highlight. Yeah, I don't know if
I like him more in the live action or in this and that goes this
show just how bad. I think it was like he just was wearing this
like weird medieval garb and just't really tardy. They've changed him a bit more
now, but majority of this era sixties to night, like that's what Toad
looked like was this time. Okay, I was picturing just very toad like,
like sitting like a toad, using his tongue, just he's got like
green slime. It was just a weird looking dude here, weird looking dude.
And I think it's like one of those things that ever since I've I
mean especially since we did the X Men retro, just seeing Toad in that
movie. It's like, I wonder what the comic book version of Toad is
like and I was let down. So yeah, just across the board.
I really wasn't a big fan of this one. I don't think it did
Scott like a lot of justice for like making me want to like like how
I felt after seeing moreph you know, in the last episode, I'm like,
man, I like this guy more. Scott Summers has had a lot
more screen time, so I haven't really been like super low on him up
until this point. But I just I don't know, It's not one I
would really revisit. I think looking back on the episodes, yea, by
the way, I would go to the Rock for Watchdoc. Now he's not
on the MCU sook at them. You know, you don't got to animate
them much, you know. I would have went like Iris Elbow because I
would love Iris Albow's voice in there, but he's already Hemdal, so I'll
go, I'll go the Rock. I was just trying to find I want
a big dude for Watchdog, you know. Yeah, so yeah, that's
a good pick. This episode was. It was interesting. I feel like
I'm trying to remember if Prescott was his name right, yep, I don't
remember him being another episodes. I feel like a lot of this stuff was
just created like a first timer, right, because we haven't really gotten much
of like psyclops backstory aside from like his dad was a space pirate and all
that jazz. So this is kind of really deep diving into I guess where
he grew up and just how he kind of got like a cowboy cowboy Scott.
Yeah, I forgot about cowboys Scott. Remember when Gene died, his
first instinct was a put on the cowboy guard and go flirt with people at
the bar. They were flirting with him, so but still he was He's
a bad boy in there somewhere. But yeah, it's just not it's it's
not overly like you said, crooklan Son episode I'm gonna be going back to.
There's certainly other ones that I would prefer to, and it just feels
like it's another one and done unless it's gonna be some pay off, unless
we're gonna have to go back and have the assistance of these mutants or Prescott
or something in the future, which could happen. But I just feel like
it's just these one off stories that aren't adding a lot of weight to our
characters, just a little filling there. Oh god, I's gonna bring up
something that you said there, but I can't think about it now, Taylor.
But yeah, and even stuff like I get that this town's were pressed,
and maybe it's because Scott doesn't handle it the same way, just the
fact that they're fighting and Naka just in the like I should have done this
before and just gives them his powers back. I should have healed you,
and Scott's just kind of back and that's the way we go. Like I
guess Scott didn't approach to Kanaka the best to give him his powers. He's
always, you know, very great. His one line too, when he's
like having that conversation in his house and he's just like he's like so whin
Celaire showed up like nobody opposed him, was like just Prescott and he just
like he keeps amp and to knock up like he's another X men. It's
like together, we can take him out. And this guy's just like a
doctor and how does how does Scott respond? He's like, how can you
call yourself a doctor for like not want to like overthrow these fucking mutants.
It's just like, oh my gosh, man, like, come on,
like, I get it, you don't have powers right now. But he
was I don't know, a little extreme for my for my liking there.
I didn't like the way he was approaching the situation. It's just almost like
there was I guess it is a town, but it felt like there was
almost more on the line, like almost world but like a bigger mute net
player, like this could really go bad, and also you don't want people
to be repressed. But it's just Scott was at a level ten for this.
Yeah, I don't know if he needed to be. I like,
I like how they met though. When Scott's figuring out like his his eyes,
powers, all that kind of stuff, and then like he sees the
car and the car is coming, he's freaking out and waving and I think,
like the guy like Tanaka, that's that's his na. I think Scott's
like, didn't you see me? And he's just like sorry, mister.
Like that's why Scott can't handle that he's not the leader somewhere like everyone else
he's like goes to him and reporting, and here's like no one cares about
him. Even though I love one, so like Scott's like, well I'm
immune too, and so I just kind of ships and like you don't look
like no mute, like what's your power where you? Like like he tries
like everybody just ye takes her turn. Maybe Scott just it is not a
good place for Scott, you know, I don't like, maybe that's it.
He's just like cowboys, Scott, maybe we should maybe we can just
headkenon that he got hit on the head when he crashed the ship and that's
why. Yeah, he's cussed. He's got a concussion. People anger apps
all the time, you know, his behavior there, Travis, though,
like that's what would fit so well into what you pitched earlier, as like
if this was in that Gene missing era, Yeah, because like if he
was just down and out, he's missing Gene, like he's trying to find
He's almost like morph like he just can't handle it anymore. So then he
goes on this little adventure. I feel like I would have been able to
palot this a lot more. But like I don't know, I feel like
Scott's pretty sane, like where he is the rest of the X Men.
But then he just comes to this talent and he's a bit of a basket
case and just like call the team. Like some situations, it's just like
you don't got to do this alone. Like Lost, these munes are I
get at you versus all these mutes that could be a lot. So it's
good the town flops, but just like I feel like Lost of these are
pretty low tiers, Like you call him the big guns like Storm and Gene,
like trying to recruit Tanaka when he could just call the X Men.
Yeah, like I feel like you bring in the A team here, you
can save this town pretty quickly. Like Solar's powers sometimes are just yours.
He's just shooting like lasers from his eyes, like come on, like get
Exavier in here or something. But he had some bad memories too, right
because he obviously he was getting beaten up and all that kind of jazz.
Which that's something maybe that's kind of for kerfunneling his thinking truth throughout all of
this. But the main thing with that, because I wrote this down when
he's playing the game with the other kids, and I think either the kids
said it like he did. I think the kids said he did it again
when he lasers it, which means he already lasered a ball and now they
decide to beat him up. So he did it once, like, oh
you're fine, we'll keep playing. Oh he did again, you mute and
freak, and I started kicking the crap out of him, which I just
thought was weird and how that was linear. Thank god they didn't like he
didn't like back in the day laser them all, you know, like imagine
that he could have origin story very much could have gone that route, right,
I bullied and he's like, I've had enough of your ship. And
he wasn't wearing glasses either, right, So that's like your adolescents kind of
thing where your powers were starting to kick in. So yeah, yeah,
maybe his powers were a little bit weaker at that point. So we wouldn't
have killed someone, just knocked them back, melt the hand or something.
Yeah, just a stub camp Scott, you really are a freak. The
one the new character or at least we hadn't seen before that I really dug
in this episode was the dude with like the rock the rocky back and you
will throw like little rock gollums people and they would like, you know,
just jump around on someone's head. Just fuck with them, Like I need
to know who that character is. I don't know if they ever said his
name, but I love that dude. I loved his look, I loved
his powers. I don't that he could just spawn little rock babies to go
attack people. One of my favorite mutants in the show, like one of
my favorite powers and looks. I gotta say, really dug him, nightmare
fuel that character when the first time he like bend dam then from his back
the spikes like the Rocks turned to another person. My goodness, Like,
I know Rogue's powers do suck, but I don't want to be rock guy
who has people coming out from my body as well. It's it's a creepy
I mean it would be. It would be brutal for sure. To have
that one. You can't you can't hide in in regular society with that one.
You'll get His name is a tusk. Can you find out what was
the name of the tree Lady? Because that was another weird one for me.
Of like again in the gene era, it's like she was almost kind
of like flirting with Scott touch she gave Scott some looks, but yeah,
her power was just too grow. She was just poisoned and she just grew
trees and she was just like and I feel like for some reason they kept
animated her armpits a lot. I never understood. Lots of shots of her
like lifting up and like zooming on that. But interesting. Yeah, she's
a lot of like like ari Aster type of mutants. I feel if you
were to make an accent, this is what his munes would be doing.
Her name is Lady Gardner. He couldn't even get like, come on,
lady. It only appears in this episode and Tusk has a first appearance.
It says, so he must come back at some point. Fudge, there
you go. Can't wait? Secret Wars baby. Looking at tust powers just
mini clone production. Tust can grow smaller versions of himself that sproke from his
back and operate independently while maintaining a psychic link with the main bottom of his
clones, also possessing hand strength and durability, as well as in hands agility,
which that parts generic, But I love that there's a psychic link between
them too. Like, could just make an army. What is the limit
of that? He could be the next apocalypse. He could be the most
powerful villain and if he wanted to in this whole whole planet, but like,
is the main body eventually have nothing because it's little pieces of themselves?
So is he's just like a stub. I don't know. I feel like
he can just keep growing back. So he's very like I don't know,
can can he absorb them back into his body? So many questions? Do
they rebell and don't want to go back into his body? Like no,
I have my own life now, have a wife and kids, the exact
same as him, like sa, same dialogue. That's the generator already.
Yet he just I want that episode of Tuss trying to like get all his
people back and they were not wanting to. We don't want to be living
in your body. He's sick, oh, and like it in this episode
is a kid saying a warp when Lady Gardner like they Soular was like shooting
his laser eyes and how she decided like block was bring up like a bunch
of brushes or bushes, like like it worked because they like blocked it back,
like that would only block it for so little because like it's like fire
and heat, Like I feel like you're getting like a yeah, a three
second off and then it's going pretty quick. Yeah, I did not think
the can, but that was the use in this episode. How do we
counter immune that, like he's shooting practically fire lasers like greenery, Like,
no, you got what he got, you know, yeah, that's fair.
Only do what you can do. Yeah, one the so I at
the end of the episode, of course, Cyclops gets reunited with Prescott and
they're hanging out and they walk off into the sunset, and I just thought
this was so bizarre where they're like, oh, let's catch up on old
times. Do you still like ice cream? That was the first question after
all this trauma, after all these years, like it's been at least what
ten years or more, and that's the first question, do you still like
ice cream? I'm just like bewildered by that was where you go first.
That's one of those that's one of those lines where it's just like, yeah,
this is like a Saturday Morning cartoon for the kids, Like like the
kids are like, oh, I like ice cream. I can relate with
him. That's my only takeaway from that, because yeah, that is just
that's I can try to remember that when I see you guys in person.
Next, I as He's like, I screwed on. Yeah, that's the
first thing he said to Jeane when she got back to normal. I got
the cat still like ice cream? I need to know yea. So they
said the morph too, Yeah, and he said, no, one's Scotland.
Yeah, that's why you're staying at the mansion. We all like ice
cream every Sunday. Scott's like home making ice cream for the team and he's
like, no, I don't like ice creaming a special one I just got.
I worked so hard. I just gotta scrut we'll eat it. No,
that's not the point. I made it for him. He's just,
oh, yeah, don't don't know why I I questioned that friend, But
you know it, Scott. It gets a lot of those moments. I
feel like this is the third time where it's him and a character walking off
the sun set like his dad. This happen with his brother, Like let's
update a little bit, like I remember his dad. There's that weird thing
of like, let's talk for it. No, I gotta go, well,
what about for five minutes? Okay, I'll stay for five minutes.
It's like, you still like ice cream? So anything else on this episode,
No, thumb down for me. I won't give the two because that's
harsh. I don't think it's like a bad episode. I think comes someone
could enjoy it, but just a weird one not enjoy it, so single
thumb down there. I'm gonna go middle, all the middle, what case
in the middle. I feel like they didn't hear a lot of pros from
you give me one thing you really like in this episode. I like seeing
like Soilario's like operation under grounds, like this goop, and like how they
were like mining the crystal it's completely gold. And then when they showed the
inventions, there's no gold anywhere. It's just like it's like the rocks are
shining. It's like, why do you think of to say gold? But
fair enough, you like the layer. I'm gonna I'm gonna go thumbs up
on this one. Like on paper, not good episode, not like good
character development, but it's just such a weird freak show episode and I like
it. I feel like this will be memorable for me and I just I
love seeing some weird freaks in this world and to get Tusk to see Toad.
I enjoyed Toad for what he's doing in there. Uh, and uh,
yeah, there's there's enough oddities in here that I think it's more memorable
than just like a boring bad episode for me. Fair enough. Next,
we got pretty self explanatory episode eight. Night Crawler, Gambit, Rogue,
and Wolverine take a ski trip to Germany. Well, Gammon Rogue seem to
be largely enjoying each other's company at the time, and let me really again,
enjoying each other's company and time together. There we go. Wolverine is
restless and longs for some action when you hear some ash like you don't go
looking for a fight or sex. When he hears reports of a demon hiding
in the local monastery, his investigator reveals it's not a demon, but a
new Nightcrawler, whose devilish appearance is in stark contrast with his peaceful and deeply
uh philosophical nature. Later, the townsfolk attack and burn the monastery. The
X Men convince the town folks not to fear what they do not understand.
Wolverine two learns that's something. Wolverine too, learns something about the nature of
faith. A pretty biblical episode. Yeah, I'll take it away. I
I honestly I love this episode. I thought it was really really awesome,
like introduction to Nightcrawler. I'm very new to like this version Nightcrawler. I
feel like I've only seen him in the live action adaptation and then like I
knew of like the classic style for it, but to actually see it here.
I love like just the van helsing like opening effect where it's like just
the rain, the town folk ready to yeah, like all for me,
Like they just nailed like the like the vibe for for for what this character
kind of goes, I don't know. I was gonna say he embodies,
but I don't really know too much about him, so I'm just kind of
making an assumption there for what I've seen this movie from this episode. Yeah,
live action forgets a lot of the religiou stuff, but he's a pretty
religious character. He's to be Spider Man. Yeah, he's feeling for Peter
Parker and New York. Apparently he's Spiderman suit with the tail and every Wow.
That's awesome. Yeah, Yeah, he's very religious character. I really
really just love like kind of what he is too, Like he's probably the
creep one of the creepier looking mutants, just like visually because he does look
like kind of that demons, that demon uh stereotypical demon looking guy, but
he just yeah, it's it's I mean, I feel like that's a big
part of just the mutants in general, is that they, Oh my god,
like a Miles moralest sort of style. Yeah little ears til Yeah,
man, that's so sweet. I don't know. The story is good,
but it's fun. Aesthetically looks great, but I mean just the mutants in
general kind of represent that thing where there's more than meets the surface or is
that is that how you say? It kind of sounded weird coming out more
than meets the eye there you go. Uh. Just I don't know.
He can be pretty freaky like when you first look at him, but he
is very gentrile and like very kind hearted when you get to know him.
And I just I thought it was just a really really good episode. I
don't know, I was just totally in it. I love like the ski
portion of this episode two earlier on. I love seeing those like classic nineties
like ski suits that they're all wearing. And Gambit is not good on the
hill that was pretty hilarious, and I just, I don't know, I
thought it was a fun episode, like throughout. So yeah, I had
a really good time with it. I wrote a quote down from that because
that just maybe crack up what wings Like man doesn't break a sweat against Apocalypse
or Magneto, so what nails him a pine tree? Watch out for Lady
Gardner, she could probably take. Oh yeah, Gamba's worst enemy, Lady
Gardner. Next episode. Yeah, I really really liked this episode. I
was just super jazz on just this staying in this abby and just this like
terrifying Phantom of the Opera kind of vibe. And then yeah, Nightcrawler being
here and obviously going in. I know Nightcrawler is a good guy trying to
do good things. I didn't know the backstory because the one monk was like,
yeah, he's my brother and all that kind of stuff. So I
thought that was really really a cool dynamic. When I can imagine like new
people going in or like, you know, you're a kid, like,
oh, kill the fucking Nightcrawler, you might think that you might think he's
the bad guy in this. Because none of my daughters were yelling killed the
Nightcrawler when we were watching. While I'm paraphrasing, I would have some questions
if they were watching this and they joined that people like, damn, like,
we gotta stop watching these Maybe kids in Germany are different, I don't
know, right, Yeah, but I felt like it was just I would
have liked a little bit more sustenance from this one priest and what he was
doing. I guess he was just really just blinded by his faith and he's
just like, oh, you know, by the power of God, like
he's Nightcrawler's actually good. I felt like that was just too too cheesy.
Maybe that's a poor way to put it. It was too easy of a
transition for him, because I feel like there should have been something a little
bit more sinister involved with why he really doesn't like this mutant. But I
guess it was very simple. It was just his his faith, and as
much as his faith made him think this was the devil, his faith restored
hope that this was not the devil, and he was a good guy.
And well, I guess because he saw the whole abby burned down, he's
liked, what have I done? Kind of a moment. But a lot
of characters like that Wolverine flips pretty easily too. Yeah, yeah, that's
true. I mean that was I always felt like Wolverine might have been like
a little bit on that side, but it really just a tiny bit,
but it kind of cemented it at the end when he's in the church and
having his on his knees moment praying. I'll just say that maybe, but
that's an interesting assertion. You've always thought that there's a little bit like Wolverine
was a man of not that I had like any kind of concrete evidence Wolverine
about him. It was like he's he could be really I felt like he
would just he always spreaded that kind of personality that would put his something in
like a higher power. And I think when you maybe at that point,
like I can see where you live. He doesn't live forever, but he
lives for a very long time, and that can really put a damper on
trying to believe in some form of deity. But I don't know what it
is. But maybe it's more so his Huge Jackman live action version than this.
If I didn't watch the Huge Jackman version, I only watched this,
I would not get any kind of feeling that he is religious. But the
Huge Jackman one, I don't know what it is, but there's just there's
different levels that he's showcase in his live action films, and maybe there's a
part of me that thinks, again, I don't have anything to credit.
It's just something that's just kind of manifest in the back of my mind.
I just had to ask the nerk on that vibe, Like, especially huge
Jackman were like in logan he's a pretty bitter guy, Like didn't sound feel
like he's found God at all or anything. Well, he was like he
was like, let's kill night Crawler and all that kind of stuff too,
right, wasn't he? I thought he was trying, well he was.
I thought he was on the side like against night Crawler and the next to
the mood in this no, no, in this not next two you Jackman
kill the second he oncomings on set with with the makeup, get up,
he's a team and no, Hugh, that's that's a character. That's Nightcrawler.
Okay, Yeah, that's one of the best everyone go watch X two
best introduction because Wolverine doesn't meet Nightcrawl. He meets him on the plane and
who is this guy and he's like, my name is Kura. But in
the circus they called the save it and then he moves on. It's just
like fuck Man. He Jackman's so good at that. So it's incredible night
I'll go because I'm I'm the same echo as these guys. I don't know
about what they feel about the whole thing, but as far as these five
is my favorite, I'm a big fan of Nightcrawler character. I don't know
if he's in my top five top ten because I'm it's kind of like the
like the Captain America thing, that Zu Man thing is, like, I'm
not a religious person. I wouldn't believe in a lot of the beliefs that
Kurt is talking about. And the kind of everything happens for a reason,
that's sort of deal. But the character always poses in such a good way,
especially like all munes are suppressed and people are always after him. But
you got this guy who's literally fighting for his life all the time because,
like he says, he was born this way right away. For his whole
life people have been after him, and the fact like he should be very
bitter. He like from day one he's never gonna grow up. His mother
abandoned, which of course we'll talk about. He's in the circus where people
chastise him, people are trying to kill him his own monster like and this
is very similar comics, but he's always a character that's always holding people to
high regard that they could be better and do better, and I think this
show does a good job of having him have that aura. Of course,
love the powers of the look. I loved everything with the ski set up.
I love Rogan Gammut trying to have like this romantic trip and Wolverine just
crashed it. So I like that again they are still in this we don't
know what they are on again off against the situation, but clearly they're like
on a date here. So and not that I definitely in any point get
the side that Wolverine would be religious. I really really enjoy the scene that
Kurt and Wolverine have when they're talking about religion and about like, well,
why would God make me like this and make you like that? And it's
like that thing like well how do you counter that? But takes a different
route of well there has to be a reason and we can help other people
and stuff. So yeah, overall, definitely, I think I'd have to
look at the whole season. Probably definitely my favorite so far this season.
And yeah, because you got Juggernut return Sanctuary if you remember, so probably
this one. It's it's high up there for the show overall, So yeah,
definitely, I think they've he's been a couple of art. I really
hope Night Crawlers a bit more in ninety seven. I'd love him to somehow
become like a full team member. But maybe one day when we review X
Men Evolution, he's there. But even X Men Evolution, they don't take
the religious side. He's like a young like, Oh, I'm a Night
crawl I'm really cool and I'm a freak like I like this. He sets
this religion stuff makes him feel different than other characters. So yeah, big
fan of this episode. Unfortunately, I'm kind of like the opposite of you
guys in I think there's a well a similar to Kirklin, Like, I
don't don't really know any meaningful like backstory on this characters. This really was
the crash force for me to learn about his situation because I've just seen him
in like the live action stuff or like ultimate lines, just random things where
he's he's always popping up and he's cool for his powers and he's look and
all that. I don't really know much about the backstory of the character,
So I don't know, I guess, you know. The part of it
was like I was really looking forward to this because it's been a few weeks
since we record our last episode, and whenever we're done, I always like
look at the episodes that are coming up just to see what I'm gonna get
used to, we're gonna get introduced to, And seeing Nightcrawler episode, I
was like, Oh, I'm really excited to see that character finally get a
little backstory on him. And it just didn't. It just wasn't really that
interesting to me. And I don't even really have like huge counter arguments or
criticisms to the things that you guys like about the character. It just didn't
really work for me. It didn't really move the needle. So unfortunately a
bit of a letdown for me. I'm glad that we finally got a Nightcrawler
in here and he's you know, a player in the scene, and we
see him in another episode coming up, even though it's very just briefly,
don't even know if he has a line of dialogue. So I'm glad that
he's kind of introduced now, and I do hope we see more of him
in ninety seven. I'd like to see some more going on there, but
yeah, I guess just the episode in general, the kind of antagonists all
call them, and the general stuff. It just it just wasn't that exciting
of an episode for me with the with a couple of exceptions, so unfortunately
on the low end for this one. But I'm glad that you guys are
are into it. What's the relation between is Azel and night Crawler? Is
that his brother's father? That was father? Okay, yeah, yeah,
don't don't screw that one out there. Yeah, I just can't remember.
I remember he was he was like Nightcrawler, but I didn't know what the
relationship was. Yeah, so that's where it's like Nightcrawler and Rogue or like
brother and sister, but more by adoption. And then as we see,
Mystique gave him away because right away he was a blue looking demon, sent
him off, and then she went off to become a member the brother Even
though like even in this era, when she turns back to the Steak,
she's still just like rocking, like the skull stuff, like take the skull
stuff off. It's a little little like it's evil, you know, But
yeah, I think we had talked about that that was real for you guys.
I feel like we've talked about the whole Misteak in Nightcrawler thing, and
I can't remember if they were fur back too much in this series, but
if not, you might be here and there. But that's I should be
something they dive into because I don't know if we've seen any art of Mystique
in ninety seven, so I'm not sure. Interesting, Yeah, I'm not
sure because I know we got Magneedle round, so I don't know what happened
to. Yeah, maybe that's a not a secret episode, but I mean
they're holding back the Brotherhood of Evil because there could be like a new leader.
She could be the leader, I guess right even then, So yeah,
but you got that origin and yeah, I think my favorite section of
the episode was just the ski trip element of it, even though it's very
short. I just thought it was so goofy and silly that these three going
off do some skiing. I really liked the suits they had, like the
kind of very nineties which now is kind of have that that retro study,
but like Rogues in particular the blue and white ski suit that she had and
she pretty much rocked that for like most of the episode. I was like,
I really like that look. I'd loved if she, you know,
wore that more. And obviously she's not going to, but I was really
into that. And then yeah, like down to that team that scene that
Taylor broke down, it was just all so goofy and fun and I don't
know, those are some of my favorite months in these series, is when
you just get the X Men hanging out and there's no threat but they're just
having a good time. When they're playing basketball or Gambits doing his weird shit,
or they're going skiing here. It's that's always fun for me. Gotta
love that when they got there at the priests and stuff, we're asking Rogue
to train to change, and Rogue, for quotes, said I don't want
to make the natives restless. So she's pretty much just insinuating that she's gonna
change, so she doesn't make any of these priests like break their word or
something. She's very aware of her sex appeal. It's very confident, and
I'm saying she should be very very confident. I was like, wow,
okay, so she did that. Why do you think is? I felt
like maybe I was wrong, so you guys could tell me. It felt
like they were insinuating that Wolverine had to go on the trip with them.
Did you guys get that vibe? I thought, yeah, I took that.
So why why who made that call? And why does the shopper yeah
or something? I don't know, Yeah, Scott, just just that You're
like, it's like, why did they I feel like at this point,
I know you could say there rogue, mean, it could be a bit
more rookish. I don't know, but I think at this point they can
withhold themselves pretty well that they could go do a ski ship a ski trip
by themselves. I didn't think Wolverine need to be there. Obviously was to
get them with night crawling on the episode, but I felt like they were
fine. I got as far as he had to go with him, but
I never really looked past that point as to why he had to be there.
I got thinking about it. Yeah, yeah, I don't know,
that's a good point. I don't like why put that in the episode at
all as as a part of the story. It's not like it's like a
don't make sure the students aren't getting together. It's like, well, clearly
that can't happen Rogue, so it's like that's gone. Maybe it was just
like a friendly thing like Rogue and Gamut we're gonna go, and Wolverine was
awkward about it, like gam It's like, oh, you you want to
come along? Like yeah, I'm ready to go. Yeah, I'm really
restless. Like story purpose, it makes sense because he like had that finding
God kind of moment like through part of me through religion by the end of
the episode, but like to actually be there from the get go, it
it doesn't really make a lot of sense. We just need we need to
fill the bus with a certain amount X men and he was. He was
the one that got called thought I'm an a ski suits too, So yeah,
and all that stuff was fun and even though like to jump to the
end of it, it was strange. Again, they're really a bit strange
now because Gambitt says something there like a whole day and he says something and
she walks away. He didn't say anything offensive, she just walked like aut
a date to find Logan at church. So again, don't know their status
officially, and uh, yeah, it's a bit weird. I did really
enjoy that, Yeah, Rogue kind of bumped into Wolverine. He was kind
of doing it in secret. That makes sense for him. I like that
she didn't disturb him. I like that she didn't comment on it. I
like that she didn't bring it up. It's just a little little thing that
I really enjoyed from from Rogue's perspective. There, it's like, let him
have something, you know, cause I also don't think it would go well
either. Yeah, exactly, he would freak out and he would do all
this stuff, and she just knows that'd be better off. If what are
you doing, I'm just you're looking for action. I'm not doing anything.
Leave me alone. But yeah, I thought it was like a little bit
of a I don't mind if he would have considered like I would have liked
if he just took the Bible and thought about it. I thought him going
to pray because I thought like he answered Nightcrawler pretty much like I'm not into
this for X, Y and Z, and then he's praying at the end,
Like I don't think he had that much of a journey to warn him
going. But yeah, I suit you mean, But I guess the way
I see it is like I feel like Wolverine on his own when he's just
doing his own thing and he's in his own quarters in the X mansion.
Very different guy than like the persona he tries to put on, the tough
face, the rolls, the one liners, all that kind of thing.
So I feel like just in front of night Crawler, he would admit it
even if he he did feel the opposite, whereas when he's finally on his
own he can maybe think about it more deeply. I'm not sure. I
like the like the the one priest guy, the one monk that was like
super hesitant to actually house them there. I like, just like the other
the other guy's reasoning on why they should have them. It's like, you
know, our purpose is to actually welcome everyone that is in need. She's
very very rare, just good dude, very righteous. Makes sense that that's
the brother of night Crawler, that you know he has similar ideology there.
Well, he did say everyone's his brother, though, everyone who's in this
monasteries his brother, because because Emily is like he has another brother. And
then the next line is like everyone here is people I look after their family.
Brother rogue. Yeah, even another guy that was like the bad night
crawler guy. He hated him. You know that's that's his brother as well.
They're all brothers. Yeah, okay, good, good point. I
found it funny that during like the avalanche, rogues sleeves just got like ripped
off. Just her sleeves is I don't know, maybe she's flex and it
just ripped the suit. I did like the look though, she looked a
little bit more badass with it, but the local natives a bit more sleeps.
Yeah, no sleeves, you gotta cover those shoulders. I haven't seen
a woman no sleeves in eighties years. I was just gonna say that's in
the same avalanche. I loved how when they got buried, Logan just like
he like slashes the snow with his blades and it just like makes it go
away. It's like, man, what a simple solution, Like why does
you like just use your hands. I feel like your hands might be better
with the blades, But of course in animated world, it's like maybe like
it helps dig it, But like the fact that he didn't dig it.
He just slashed the snow and it just like disappeared. So badass. I
really like the beginning. I love the visuals of Nightcrawler. How it's like
in the rain, the lightning's going off, you kind of just see his
eyes first, and you see shadows. I like that they look up make
him look like an actual, like horrific figure. He does look like the
demon and he looks scary. So that's why it would make sense off putting.
Now, maybe Kirk should stop climbing on the fucking walls outside. That
might help people, like, go, I'm just going for a stroll in
the rain, like he's he's picking the most. It's like if you were
to go out I don't know. I guess not Halloween because people think its
a mask. I just feel like he's going out of the worst time to
make himself look like a monster. But visually I like what they do there.
So they're having like a rally to like go fucking pitch for him anyways,
and then he's like, I'm just gonna go investigate what's going on?
Please, I'm your friend, as he stands up against the lightning beat yellow
eyes like the vampire from Midnight mass but let's see, oh Ei. There
was one moment I liked that they were fighting at the start and night Carl
introduced himself to Wolverine and he went for a handshake and wolver and I iced
to meet you, and he just fucking tossed him like r Ko's essentially.
Yeah, he took that opportunity like cheap shot him. So I enjoyed that,
And that was my last note on this episode. Logan known for doing
those cheap shots. I wouldn't think. I remember there was a remember in
season one when Scott was just talking and Wolven just walked and like fucking nailed
them in the gun. He's just like he's because like over like he has
these powers, he can heal, he his metal on his bones, but
he'll still take the cheap way out to get away and he's like a piece
of ship. But he hit. He did that to Scott because of Morph
though, wasn't it when he left he made the call leave Morph behind,
so it was within reason. Still cheap but like go face to face then
punch him, not while Scott's talking to the team and like Guttam like he
doesn't have metal abs like you doct of Thailand Bangkok. I'm sure he's cheap
shot saber Tooth a few times. Guarantee you it's happened. Oh, yeah,
everyone behavior, God's Charles, no more Logan, no more any other
notes on this episode, yep, well once going twice. I'm a double
thummer, double thumber for me. I love the the initial appearance in that
crawler and two little thumbs in there too little. I'm neutral this one little
thumb. Now we got a two parter here. Let me go back up.
One Man's Worth Episode nine, Trevor, Trevor, Fitzroy, and Bantam
travel back in time to nineteen fifty nine to kill Professor X, as Master
Mold has ordered them. This creates an alternate timeline, a present timeline where
Immune Sentinel war has destroyed everything. Bishop and Shard arrive at an alternate present
while it's the alternates here where is Sentinel's battle against the leader Magneto. His
followers include husband and wife Wolverine, Storm, Bishop and Shard recruit. They
recruit Wolverine and Storm to help them stop Fitzroy, but they will fail.
Very similar to like a couple of seasons going Days of Future Pass right,
and it's kind of similar to that for me. I think Day's Future Pass
is kind of like the better version of this. I like aspects of this.
I really enjoy Wolverine Storm as a couple. I think it's just like
an odd pairing, and I think that it's kind of like in comics where
Wolverine kind of finally accepts Okay, Gene and Scott that's the endgame couple.
Like, I feel like comics maybe did it. It's like, oh,
we have nothing to do with these characters, but I think there's something intriguing
there where they're just so different personality wise, and Gene and Wolverine are too,
but Storm is just something. Storm just feels like she doesn't need some
of the assurance that Jean doesn't. That's because Jen has some mulcle Poara sets
that she needs and insurance and help, but Storm has it all pretty figured
out right now. So I like that aspect. But again, even the
idea of you fail, you create an other timeline that was something that was
kind of already touched upon. So I'm all down for the time travel episodes.
Just feels like we've kind of been there, done that. My only
big highlight is I fucking love the designs of some of those characters in the
al in the universe. Baby really cool magnil, So I love that from
a cool aspect. I think this is a lot of cool factors, but
it's still I think like the lesser than time travel episode for me. So
that's where I am on the one man's worth. I found with the costumes,
everyone was really really cool. Like Gambit looked the same. He didn't
have any look cool enough already. Yeah, don't dress more on me like
that. He likes jacket. You mentioned the team. I'm pretty sure I
saw mister Sinister in there too, fighting, Yeah, which I was not
expecting. That's a cool, little a little twist styro straits, and you
got to team up with him, you know. That's when it's bad.
It's really bad. You don't have a team with mister Sinister. It's bad,
it's really bad. Yeah. I really enjoyed this episode, in this
two parter in general to me, Yeah, I think these it's kind of
been a big mixed bag when we do these time travel episodes where some of
them are more interesting than others. And I think what I liked about this
one is now that it's what the third time we've done this for Yeah,
there's a days of fush Pass, there's another one, and then there's this
one. I feel like this one was like, Okay, how can we
differentiate from what we've already done previously? And I I what I liked about
this is I feel like the plot and the plan and everything I had to
go on was a lot more complex and it was before where there was like
multiple instances of time travel. There's like different realities we're talking about here,
Whereas I feel like the other ones have been really fun because you see all
these different timelines, you get Forge and Bishop and these types of characters.
But I feel like the actual goal is pretty linear, like they pretty much
just go back once in time and they like fix fix out what's going on
there. But this was like all over the place, and there's like fake
outs like oh we did it, but then oh shit, there was other
some some other backup plan and that throws the whole thing again. We got
to go to a different timeline. And then when you have like the villains
going to different times, like when the heroes are like, you all have
all this kind of complexity to it that I found really engaging. And then
on top of that, there's just a ton of different characters that appear here.
Seeing the visuals of it, I don't know if I love Fitzroy's villain.
I don't think he's the most compelling, but I think it helps that
there's multiple villains going on here. You know, obviously Nimrods in their master
Mold Bantam, I don't even know if you'd call him a villain these I
don't even know what he's. He's just yeah, but I yeah, I
feel like there's just so much going on, a little hard to follow,
but that made it compelling. I like that it was a two parter.
I think this. If they'd shove this into a one part, I think
it would have been end up being a more generic time travel story, but
instead they got some time to flesh it out. Yeah. I really really
like this two parter. I think I'm not fully done with the Days of
Future Past aspect of it yet, So I feel like it's just like a
never ending threat. That's just like there's a there's a war going on,
you know, beyond time, and it's just always going on. And Bishop's
just he doesn't sleep. He loses his sister one day, he's the next
day. It's just like, this guy has an interesting existence. I'm excited
knowing that he'll possibly have a bigger role in ninety seven, but yeah,
no Harmonica this time either. Remember every other time it's been like hard Harmonica.
Yeah, I know, exactly, that's right, Rue, they're settled
down on Harmonica. It was like enough of that for too much of the
Harmonica. I think, like the badass factor is is just turned way up
on these like apocalyptic moments when everyone's got like Beast with his like this little
eyeglass thing, he's got these like metal attire. Just everyone's outfits was super
super sick. Maybe Gambit a little bit less really tailor mentioned, but I
don't know. It's just I see these as almost like a what if scenario.
So it's just cool to have like Sinister with the team and Magneto being
the leader of everyone like in that war against I guess, like the Sentinels
and the superhumans, and just just seeing what the world looks like. Like
that's just a fun aspect. I feel like if this was the show,
I'm you know, I'd be kind of done with it. But I like
having these sprinkled throughout the different seasons, and I always, I mean probably
through Travis, you're telling me that Storm and Wolverine get together at some point,
so to actually see it here. I really enjoyed that too. I
feel like, actually seeing it, it's like, man, they actually make
a lot of sense to be a couple here. So I just enjoyed that.
I found it pretty funny too, how they really really try to hit
us over the head, like these two are married now, because it's like
they're embracing and there's like a zoom in of like the ring on Wolverine's hand
and then like the zoom in on Storm's hands. It's like we get it,
Yeah, we get it. Trying to convert the kids, like I
don't have to say some marriage. They are married married, yeah exactly,
But I I just I don't know. It was it was fun adventure,
It was It was fun to see Xavier in kind of that like uh,
I don't know, back backpedal mode of like him not really wanting to be
a part of this because it's just so foreign to him. It reminds me
of the live action days of Future Pass, just super not wanting to be
involved with it. So that was that was cool. So I think just
all these different factors made me really enjoy this one. I don't know where
I compare it between like the original Days of Future pass time trippy scenes,
but there's a lot of like emotional stuff too, especially once we get into
part two with Wolverine and Storm that we'll get to. I feel like the
live action movies almost like our combo of these three Timeshof episodes, like each
of them, like this episode. Yeah, like all that stuff with Charles.
With both of them, it feels like identical to the movie of He's
Young doesn't really give a fuck. In that movie, they make him like
a drug addict. But obviously they weren't gonna do the Saturday Morning cartoon,
but a bunch of parels, a bunch of pairs living on the streets,
the homeless man shoot killed my girl. I I thought that I'd be getting
exhausted with them changing these like history again of the time travel instead of doing
it again again and again. I was not though with this because this is
pleasantly a surprise and I definitely I'm I find Bishop to be interesting, but
he's just he's I always feel like he just comes into a situation freaking the
fuck out. It's like, man, you gotta have some context in these
cases, because not everyone's gonna fully understand what's going he's been through a lot.
Man, how many came through? How many give him? And he's
always on the clock. That's the other reason too, you know, he's
always on the clock. Yeah, so he's he's definitely got a lot going
on. The highlight to was you getting like this a lot going on?
This was like legit like Marvel's what If? And I really really did like
that more than what we got in like other what if time changing scenarios,
And I think because we learned more. It's like it's master Mold, but
just in this sense where it's it's not an apocalypse or something like that.
It's just it's not it's so much more different. It's not your classically the
Sentinels, but it's just it's not even just basically humanity. The villains and
they only I didn't know that this was them, but the villains when they
came in, and this episode was the Avengers and they were like the non
human heroes or whatever fighting with them, and you had like Captain America,
Scarlet Spider, Iron Man, Goliath, Wasp, Black Widow, Hercules,
and that totally went over my head. But I thought that is so freaking
cool to have them coming in and like fighting the mutants the X Men,
and I wish so bad that we actually got to expand on that because that
is such a very cool what if scenario, So I think they hopefully they.
I'm very curious with X Men ninety seven coming back and if what if
continues, if they'll ever play around with that scenario, even just doing something
like what if the X Men ninety seven crew is in the Sacred timeline or
because clearly I think we all kind of agree that now with like X Men
come the MC, it might be some sort of reboot or a soft reboot
even and start the universe. So I wonder if they could like place the
ninety seven X Men into a story or something. So I don't know for
sure, just people say that the animation style looks like the old school show,
so I don't know how it would mesh with this, but I think
there's room there for something to play even one episode, because yeah, imagine
just like the X Men versus the animated X Men. That'd be fun,
right there, make some reason up like that's a that's a mego what if
episode? That's the poster of season three. You get ninety seven and X
Men on one side that that's just tons of fun, and of course they
become friends and they work together. But yeah, good call outs. Where
do you guys want to go? Yeah, I guess just a couple of
the shows for that big battle scene, which was a lot of fun.
Like Nightcrawler pops in there once again. I don't think he has a line
in eye log if I can remember if he's I feel like he's just teleporting
around, was just shouting, don't forget it. And then you know Magneto
in there too. I feel like maybe you had the long hair going on,
which is like that he has like a big go tee too. Eh
oh, I missed the goatee actually, but I'm just like under the mask
because he had definitely had he had face so scruffy you could see it.
Okay, but yes, like the long hair he's gonna have in this show.
So it's kind of funny because he's in the X Men, so it's
like anytime, well, I guess, I guess he always says like long
hair, but this was like the long like to his shoulders long. So
anytime he's a good guy, he's like, I gotta row it out.
That's my look. You know, Yeah, I just like that scene of
the X Men working together to protect Magneto, And yeah, I just found
that whole battle to be pretty fun, even if it was against just well,
I guess there was a variety of opposition there. A lot of it
was just fighting robots and whatnot, but there they were cool looking robots at
the very least. Yeah, no, I agree, I like that.
I think all that stuff for me works. It's all fun time. Like
I think it's again, I might sound like more down on it. Still
enjoyed the episode, but they deliver on some of these set beasts and visually
I forgot a beast, you guys shout be Yeah, he had a good,
really cool look. Like it looks that I would love his alternate cautions
in some sort of X Men game, you know. So, yeah,
I how do you guys feel about Shard as a character. Bishop's sister over
here? Just feels like incredibly bland to me, And obviously she doesn't make
it through the end of the season here, I'll just I'll put it that
way. Yeah, I thought you, like, I don't know, her
look was all right, I guess I'm just feeling like underwhelmed by the character,
and I'm curious what the reason was to kind of even add her in
the equation here, and like I guess other than the stakes of for Bishop,
I don't know if there was much reason to get her in there.
Even then, even then, it's not like he reacts like much at all,
Like when she dies, it's not like a big emotional tie for him.
It just seemed like like a buddy to have on this adventure. And
then she just just perishes because her again at some point, you know,
it was yeah, instead of like that being a big emotional focus, instead
that was like where they did the reveal that like that was my sister and
like all this stuff, because I didn't think that was I don't think it's
mentioned like prior to that, so it only it almost takes away from the
emotional stakes of the moment because instead you're just getting like a plot twist reveal
at that point. Yeah, Yeah, I didn't do much. And I
just laugh because I just don't think Shard is the greatest superhero mute name,
Like, what's your name? I'm sharred, like not just because it sounds
like close to Shard, it's just Shard. It's just I don't know.
It's just cool yours exactly. That's fine out here. I imagine they're probably
like a, yeah, super strength, Yeah, can grow little clones out
of her back. Here's the image of Magneto from the Dark Future. Yeah,
okay, on that fucking guy in the driver's seat of that a little
more fl like actually he did? Maybe that is more. It really does
look like I'm actually different hair. What's on Magneto's like waste is not as
way easter? Is that? Like? Oh that's something like Omega Red.
He's killed Omega Red, just wearing a copy that is his cog. I
love, I love. I clicked on the powers for this episode and then
just said seemingly those of the Sharp Bishop of Earth one one nine one,
So okay, I gotta go find that. But they could tell me it's
like, oh, it's the same as that one. Yeah. I think
it's just some similar things to her brother. But I'm not finding much.
Actually it's like specific stuff. I'll keep digging, ok digging. I really
they just use a very spicy photo for Marvel wiki here. Yeah, it's
ass on front center. It's like boom, concussive blast, laser blast,
illumination, enhanced attributes, uh, and a holographic intangibility. I don't know
what that means. Shard was a life form based on particular particles of a
light called the photon. She could control her it's like a Playboy car.
She couldn't control her density at will and use the powers to pass to solge
objects. Okay, so you go, okay kind of like the flash.
Is that how that works? Yeah? Like the flash? Yeah, she
can phase and she's got a fat ass like that fig the Marvel, the
Marvel artists back in the eighties for a little Spider, Big Shard fans,
Big sh I. Yeah, so we've we've talked about the Wolverine and Storm
relationship. It's it's a lot of fun. I like all of that,
and I think it also just adds a really good tension to the episode two
that they agree to help after some after being convinced they were definitely not just
like on board right away. It took some convincing from Bishop. He has
a high persuasion stat over here. But I I really like that. Okay,
if this mystic mission is going to be successful, they know that that
means that they won't be together anymore. I mean, I guess they won't.
They will cease to exist. They don't even seem to care about that.
It's more about the fact that they won't be together anymore. I think
that's very compelling and kind of wholesome at the same time, but also also
quite sad, and obviously there's maybe a hopeful ending for that in the future
when we get back to our actual proper timeline. I'll say, but I
really like that that's kind of set up in this first part, and obviously
that does end up happening, and in part two later on. Yeah,
and I could be crossing wires. We'll just sit here because we're talking about
it. I think it's a part two, but if not, I'll cover
my basis where I like that they've kind of like read their minds or something,
and like they get a some answer or some solution where they know one
of them don't really want the mission to succeed, and it's Wolverine, and
he's like, just because like don't want to see it doesn't mean I'm gonna
sabotage, and Bishops like, oh, can I trust you? But I
like that Wolverine's like he knows it's for the greater good. He'll still do
it, but like when you ask him a lie detector, like what does
he want? He doesn't actually want the mission to succeed. He'll do it
because he's an x men and it's for the greater good, but he wants
that to happen because then the marriage is gone and it's over. So and
then yeah, we get something. But yeah, again, fun dynamic.
That was like the emotional thing that I was mentioning to. It's concluded at
the end of you know, the next part, but just that whole dynamic
of like we have to save the whole world, but in his eyes,
it's like it doesn't matter. She's his whole world and there it's just oh,
it's cool. Anything else on episode one? What else on episode I
mean, I just anytime Bantam spoke, I was cracking up. I liked
all like his He had just that very high pitch, kind of squirrely voice,
and he only ever spoke when he was about to get tossed into a
plot. So whatever he's saying gets like cut off and he's like watch out,
master eye bruise easily, he's like fades. Just anything he said just
had me so I love that character, and it was weird because, yeah,
I didn't feel like he had much of a purpose at all. He
was a bit of a sidekick for Fitzroy and the like, I like,
were they a couple too. I couldn't get a vibe like I had a
bit of that vibe. I'm not sure what's going on, but whatever was
going on, I'm kind of into it. Yeah, it's kind of down
the line. I think you could have gone either way. Yeah, I
like like the slow mo like cliffhanger of an Indian that this had. This
I don't know what, I don't know what era it reminded me of,
but it reminded me of a certain era of just like just that slow mo
like, oh my God, like like his face like lit up to just
like the close up of the I think it was Wolverine realac Actually, I
think they all were kind of reacting to it. So I was just not
an X men inding I was expecting to see. And then obviously Charles just
fucking fried in that moment end of the series. Just it was a jaw
dropper for sure. It was, and we feel like we haven't had a
huge cliffhanger quite like that before. I loved too that like because of the
animation. I'm sure it would have been like super expensive to actually do slow
moo, you just have to do like a bunch of more frames, I
suppose. So instead they just like did as a slide show. It was
very funny the way they decided to portray that. Mm hmm. That's it.
That's it. I'll give it a thumb and a half. That's what
I'll do. I think I'm going one clean thumb up, A nice clean
thumb up. I'll do thumb and a half. Nice. I got two
thumbs in the game The Game Part two, failing to stop the assassination of
Xavier. As we just talked about it, Bishop Shards, Storm, Wolverraine
travel for to the Future, a future changed so much that Forge's time travel
machine has never been tested and Forge has no idea how all for these time
travels are. After they convince Forge, they go back a few minutes before
Exavior dies save them, and everything reverts back to normal. Yeah. I
don't think I have too much like like more to like. I think it's
more of the same. Uh. I think it's good. I like the
idea of you know, time traveling upon time traveling. So so I think
it's a good, solid finale here. I think the stuff I like the
most is what we can't talk about Wolverine Storm. That's a nice little ending
there. I think they were looking upon them and Storm being like anytime you
want to wrestle, which was a weird thing for Storm to say, but
you know, sure, the little flirting going on at the end and then
yeah, so yeah, I enjoyed the episode. But I don't have I
don't have too much because I feel like it's a bit more not act.
I feel like the Wikipedia laid it out pretty swell of what happens. But
yeah, it was a pretty cohesive two parter. But I think I enjoyed
it like just as much as the first one. Felt like a it's a
good one to watch back to back with each other because it is one nice
just longer, longer story. Yeah, yeah, I really liked this episode.
I feel like I'm pretty similar honestly feelings from the first one. It
probably just goes to show how well they they sunk together. Just I really
like too, like the dynamic of them showing uh like Fitzroy like an image
of himself to like basically talking them off the ledge, and like in that
moment, I was like, would he think this is just like a trick
to like, you know, for them to kind of beat him in that
sense, but like he actually was like, wait a minute, maybe maybe
Master mold is gonna fuck me over. And I don't know it just it
seemed like a believable kind of reaction to it, as opposed to just being
like I don't care, I'm gonna do it anyways. So yeah, I
just I don't know. I feel like there's a lot of new things thrown
at me in this in this particular episode, and of course, like the
Indian, like I said, was pretty emotional for the Storm and Wolverine.
Yeah, definitely some flirting going on between them, So maybe that you know,
that was in one timeline, but who's to say it won't still happen
and in this time unless I mean technically she's a black panther, right,
that's kind of where that I'm not here though this timeline. This time they've
also got divorced, so could divorced you know, that's true, But yeah,
I think getting just overall getting Master Molden here and and and stuff.
I feel like this is this is more between the other Master Old episode and
this one. I like this one a little bit more. But he's just
kind of having other people do his dirty work, and I think it was
very clever to have to have like a past version of yourself. I can't
rember the guy with the guy with the little dude, the two time traveler
guys. That's yeah, fitz Roy and and the other dude. Sorry Bantam,
Bantam, thank you. I couldn't hear what you said the name.
The two of them just kind of like Bantam was always just cowering like yeah,
I don't want to die, and fitz Roy just having this because he
gave it to Bishop and then Bishop had to play the thing, and it's
like yeah, fitz Roy, like you're gonna You're gonna get bopped. Which
also makes me think, why would why would Master Mold play or not play,
but talk out to his his team, not his team, but the
the other AI that's there and just be like, hey, after this is
done, kill them like they're right outside the fucking room and their eavesdropping thing
like not like Master Mold totally critical work. He had them dead to rights.
He would have killed the X men and he would have he would have
he would have done it, but no, he just got ahead. I
mean, he doesn't have ears, right, So like I feel like master
Mold's perception of how loud things are it is probably pretty pretty just shouting and
louder, please loud, and master Mold he's just blurring on like all radio
signals across the world, and he thinks he's so clever and when they're done,
killed them, But you're right, like they were barely out of the
room when he started that sentence too. He did not cover his bases very
well, but like shout outs to them for double backing and just like listening
in on the door. I think that's again that just goes to show that
they didn't fully trust him. But again, the whole thing was just based
off of I feel like insecurity because master Mold's plan was this, this happens,
and does this Master Bold know that he executed this plan or does like
Fitzroy just like pop up and be like, hey, I I did this,
you have to believe me. But then I guess didn't he have another
didn't Master Old have another character with them? Was that Nimrod that was there?
I could vouch for him, okay, so then he was the witness
that could vouch for it. Then it seemed very convoluted, and I feel
like Master Mold just couldn't trust anyone in the situation. But it was all
very That is the most Surrey Morning cartoon stuff where it's just because it's tough.
I like the idea of that's how you're gonna get them to turn is
you're gonna tell them that, hey, when this is over, they're gonna
betray you and kill you. How we got there, that's a little rocky,
but I like that idea of, Okay, you see us over there,
why would we be time traveling right now? Like, I think there
was a way they could have done it without trying, making like Master Mold
look like a not a master you know, like you could have found some
sort of way or hack into a camera. But you know, again,
it worked for what they were trying to get to. So it felt very
terminator ish at times too when Nimrod, because like when the Avengers the X
Men get there, the second secondary team of X Men get there and they
arrive and they're trying to tell Xavier, and Xavier I think he runs at
this point and then they catch him or maybe it was probably for that,
but yeah, they they they open up. He opens up the door and
his lady friend comes in, Cindy. Oh my god, so hard at
that scene. I love when Nimrod just like pulls by, like especially like
he plays like he acts into it, like he does some reactions like oh
Charles, who are your friends here? Right in front of them just turns
into Nimrod again, like the fucking blank face Nimrod. That's just like a
death pot. It gets me every time when Nimrod just fucks with their brains,
like the so good, damn one one moment I love. I think
it's earlier on in the episode. I forget what the situation where was.
The cops are like they're like apprehending the X Men. Then of course Storm
like pops off to save them, but she doesn't. Classic God, She's
like Tonato, take these misguided souls, and then she just scoops up all
these cops in a fucking tornado and like they've secured their win, like they're
good to go, and they just have like a whole conversation and I feel
like, for various minutes, these cops are just up in this Toronto at
any point they could collide and just I feel like die at any second,
But she just leaves them there, and they even go off into this other
timeline and she like doesn't drop them at first. I'm like, she's just
gonna leave these guys in Tornado forever and then eventually drops them out and they're
all good, of course, But I guess that just shows how good she
is with their powers, that she can just so precisely make like that strength
of Tornado. But I just I loved how long she enought them up there
for. Can you imagine if you're just a cop, you got these guys,
did the rights and just from the top, like from the power you
look on this one's floating, and then what happened? Yeah, and what
happened? He next John, she put me into a human Tonado with the
other cop buddies. Oh my god. I liked the the other we saw
Sentinel that it was like Teal white and red like had like a different colors
going on. I thought looked really nice, especially that Teal. That shade
of Teal was really cool. Uh, speaking of weird looks like Wolverine,
I don't know what it was like more so in this episode. But it
just looked like he had like eyeshadow on, like his eyes were especially accentuated.
And I'm just like, I don't know, it was it just like,
Okay, another artist did this Wolverine and like put some more black line
on there, or are we meant to believe that like this alternate time on
Wolverine is applying makeup because I just feel like Wolverine not the kind of guy
to ever get to a point where he would be putting makeup on. And
so I liked that little stylistic choice. Any time he was zooming on his
face, it stood out to me like it just it was. It was
slightly off putting. It was just just felt wrong for some reason. It's
kind of like what clar had to write, like the like the little blacks
around his eyes, and I don't know, I like the look. I
feel like it just fit his outfit. Like I said, maybe it's a
storm influence, just like you gotta gotta put this on to really accent your
eyes. He's a married man, you know, we make different decisions.
He married. I missed that it rings Oh yeah, I was joking because
you're talking. I remember how they kept everything fucking got me. It's like,
dummy by the wind, you will marry me by the window, all
right. I think that's kind of it for me because my other notes we
kind of talked about through episode one. So yeah, me too. With
with Xavier obviously at the end, because no one else seems to know what
happened, Wolverine and Storm just kind of carry on with their picnic and the
ants to fucking what does he say? I wrote that quote down too.
I love those one line. Ass you think we could just attract ants like
normal people. That's when uh was going sideways actually the other episode, but
that was the part one. Yeah, he So he's they're fine, everything's
back from with their picnic, and then Xavier has the the memory of what
unfolded. I think it's weird because if you were just if everyone reverted to
normal, but obviously they don't have a recollection of what happened in the past.
Xavier is just normal, and all of a sudden, it just like
kicks them in the like in the mind where like these two were a thing.
Oh my god, like yeah, it's just smy's streaming about them,
not Cindy. Storm and Wolverine. How you know he's thinking about Cindy.
God, the fifties were great. I think it is it. It is
a little tough because like they traveled back, right are they like? But
like the storm Woverine, when they went to the future, they didn't have
any recollection of their old ye person and then vice versa. I feel like
he shouldn't be able to have these memories. Agree, Yeah you're trying to
say. I agree. I think there's other times they've done that it makes
sense. I don't think this have made sense for me. Like he's still
like, oh, they were married. It's like that's like a whole alternate
timeline that you shouldn't even have access to yet. So is that like the
factor maybe uh maintain some memories? And do you think Charles now like sublimely
tries to put them together because he knows I got married, So he's like,
oh, you guys should go in some missions together, wake up with
that s trip. I should have said storm on that no chaperone this time,
you know, like just putting them in scenarios. Yeah you can't tell
him though, Yeah, you can't tell them though, because Wolverine would were
buffing. I wouldn't get married married Wolverene would hit him do this thing,
said him, I wouldn't marry her, Adam Man and then Storm just fuck
him up and puts him in for a tornado for years. Yeah Storm,
No, he's metal. She's gonna fry him up. Boy. Oh yeah.
People are gonna be cooking steaks off his bones when she's down on them,
and he'll keep heeling. Ah, I smell like sauce. What happens?
You know, what happens when lightning hits vibranium, the same as everything
else that actually like bounces back in Oh no, not today. What exactly
is Fitzroy's powers? I like no idea. I don't know, like especially
like when he grabbed Charles and just like you'll recover in a few days,
Like I did I miss something there? Or is it just kind of ambiguous
because he definitely seems like he makes portals to like jump to other timelines or
something. He's got portals. When you search him, there's just a big
picture of his ass that's the same just as shiny uh temporal temporal wormholes,
time alteration, time stopping has the ability to freeze people in a type of
status stages, single status, frozen, he had a romantic relationship with Shard.
There you go. I wish we got a little bit of that in
the He's also I think so he's the illegitimate son of Anthony Shaw. But
it says the future Black King of the hell Fire Club. So does that
mean, like Fitzroy is the future king or his father was. I can't
remember who the king. I think it sounds like yeah. On the on
the at his ten scale, he's pretty weak though. Intelligence two straight four,
speed, three, energy, projection five fighting skills to durability seven.
So and these are ratings so durable is that because he can like teleport a
win ratings well armored? So I'm not sure if this armor has anything to
do that. Okay, he's got a future tech armor. I guess that
would be a big advantage if you go in the future and just get like
the highest technology that exists and apply it to yourself. But it'd be good
to go. Is it's like all the stats like when he doesn't armor,
his intelligence is like like some microchip in his head too. He's just like
a buffood. Can't you do one plus one but boons? Yeah? Two?
Intelligence like that's horrendous, So I guess we can't. He wouldn't be
smart enough to go do that, like unless there is bantam, like a
intelligence problemly bantam. It seems like he can control and monitor or catalog and
minor portal activity. So he's like, Okay, that's his power. Catalog
chronal anchor is what it's that's pactivity that catalog so power power to make him
feel better, I would be so if that was my power, Like I
can't do the fun thing, but I'm just like ali breadsheet on the thing
that this other guy uses the screen like excel as well. Yeah, he
really got the short. I don't think all of them has because I steal
the page for Watchdog and he does not have it. Does he have a
character bility list like great or no character ability list like intelligence too, etcetera?
Or no, oh don't I don't see it on here. Yeah,
it's very it's all over the place of which characters they do for which characters
they don't. I'm thinking I'm gonna guess he's a seven on the intelligence scale,
so it's good enough, Like even the cable doesn't have one. Why
do they decide, like what what wiki user decide, you know what,
fitz Roy should have a power guide. They just want us to know as
intelligent was too, like, fuck fits, that's it all. That's all
I got that, that's all. Yep, that's it. That's all thumb
and a half for me. Just going another big thumb for me, I'll
do another thumb and a half. I definitely feel the same as the part
one. There you go, I'm a thumb and a half. There you
go. Well, we just didn't want to hear your catalog it for me
and let me know. Well, we were moving onto the I think it's
it's the final five. How many episodes are No, not the final five
because they're sixty Okay, not the final five, but we got some good
episodes. Comme up because finally we're going to have our first appearance of Quicksilver
and Scarlett which series. So that's what you can look for to next time,
a glimpse of them, right, yeah, yeah, they had some
lines here exactly, So until then it will not be born. But
