Hello, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the first episode the X Men
ninety seven review. To me, my geek for his fans, we're here,
I guess I'll say to us, because that sounds very contrady or like,
what is it egotistical? To us, our geek for his fans,
we're here a huge long build up. We said, it's like our second
longest retro of all time, did about a whole year, and you go
back if you're curious, if you listen, as like, oh, what
do you think about this? This? We reviewed every single episode of X
Men, the original animates series to get to this point. You know,
it was delayed a year and a half, this and that, but we
are finally here. I'm the clown Prince of Magnetism Trust Now, and I'm
joined by I am they did it Kirk com Patzer. I'm the closest thing
to a goddess you will ever seeing. I am the trust fun baby to
the field. Yes there's showing any of the links out very quickly. Head
down below for everything you need to know. That's where you can find Patreon,
which is the best way to support us. Right now, you get
two episodes that are exclusive patron that are part of the season of x Our
X Men fan Cast Draft, which is the Hero's edition, so we cast
every hero that is on the original roster. So Bishop didn't make this cut
and neither did some the spot. But maybe maybe the next go around or
next one be the heroes. Yeah, morph did. Of course, we
had to have more. And then the other one was we built our dream
X Men Versus Avengers roster slash movie, so those are on patroon right now,
with a slew of many other contents, lots of things bottled, author's
and newscast. This week there's a review for out Cast Trials at Last Trials,
Dylan, where can they find what's in your name? Oh? Yeah,
you can check out my game postion problem Lon Steam. There you go,
and then yeah, I think that's everything. We've got Ghostbusters coming out,
got the Halo review, so lots of fun reviews popping off and then
in their future the'll probably be another newscast soon because there's a lot of trailers
about to drop. The next little bit here, so but let's get into
it. X Men ninety seven lots of build up. They did a two
episode drop as usual. If you knew the show. We're going to do
a non spoil portion and then we're gonna get into the nitty gritty. I
don't think we're gonna go in per se order because the episodes are shorter,
and yeah, I don't think it's gonna be like a one too. Maybe
we'll see what we get there, but go watch it takes about an hour
and then come back we'll be here. But uh, Kirkhampatser, you know
they did it. What did they do? And what do you think?
Man? I think they they met expectations. I at least my expectations for
the show. Yeah, just finishing the retro super super hype coming into this
one now. And uh, I think that the first episode was like a
bit of not like not like a slow setup, but like kind of instead
of just can into the pool, it's like I'm dipping my toes into the
pond, and then as I get fully immersed, I'm like, oh man,
the temperatures good, like hop on in And that's definitely how I felt
by the end, like honestly at the end of the first episode, But
then the second episode was just like a whole another level, Like I did
not expect it to be this hype after this an episode, just with how
the first episode was going, I think coming into the show, I was
hoping to be just really pumped right up the gate. And I think this
is a really really strong, like two episode drops to just start this show
here. And yeah, I think they did a really fantastic job at balancing
like the Saturday Morning Cartoon with still like like a cohesive story moving forward.
Like it does feel like we're not just bouncing around on a bunch of like
random like side missions. It seems like there might be a little glimpses of
that, but it really like it's really a story that they're trying to tell
here in this first season. And I just liked how episode one led into
episode two and just kind of where we're heading. I'm liking the setup of
the show so far. Animation was something that I was maybe the most standoffish
like at the start of the show, but as it was going on,
especially just the way that they had shot certain scenes or like maybe certain close
ups, it was just a very different style that we had seen in that
original animated series. And I'm like, man, this is just really well
polished. Like I think part of me still really loves that nineties like hand
drawn, like comic book type style, but just how smooth some of the
animation is with I don't know, just a twenty twenty four, you know,
version of that. I personally, I think it looks really really good,
really really top notch. And yeah, there's just like certain attention to
detail that I think was not done in that first show. And I'll you
know, i'll pinpoint certain ones as we're going along through the specific episodes.
But yeah, I was just really really impressed. I'm really really liking our
characters. And yeah, man, like I was such a Morph hater at
the start of the retro and now like Morph I think is my favorite character,
Like like just the way that bouncing around with different ability uses like so
much more just boosted up I think from that original show. So really happy
with what they're doing with more of there. And yeah, just the whole
Magneto thing. I mean, yeah, I'll just I'll pass the baton.
I feel like I just want to jump right in, but I'll let you
guys speak first. Taylor, take the baton with your teeth. Yeah,
this was a pleasant surprise. Oh my goodness. I was apprehensive with the
animation, and I was thinking, what are we gonna get in terms of
story, because we're revisiting things that I felt like I've already been wrapped up,
But no, like revisit away because they just put a fresh spin on
it. They just added a dose of familiarity and it's a little bit of
something new as well for people that haven't watched the series, I guess the
animated show and then come in at a fresh take here and kind of just
jump right into the adventure. And there's enough incentive here too that'll bring in
new people and new fans that'll think, oh, you know what, I
want to go and watch those old episodes and see what's going on too.
So I think that this premium episode does a fantastic job. The action was
great. There was a bunch of humor already knocking out of the park,
and just things really getting underway that just had me hook. I like getting
through both episodes because I finished them within like the last hour and a half
before we our review here, so it's just so fresh in my mind and
I just I want next, like next Wednesday, to be here already.
I just want to keep going and just binge them and I'm so used to,
you know, from our retro just going through like a four or five
episode, right and now we can't. We got to wait, which is
just it's brutal. But I think that they hit a strong, strong first
note here with with this episode, and I'm really really happy with with where
we're at and just to see too the the upgrade as well. In terms
of just the storytelling, I feel like those previous seasons there's, yes,
there's there's arcs like you might get like four episodes in one kind of an
arc series, but the writing of this feels very different from that, obviously
because it's been so long, but it just feels different in the sense that
it just feels kind of grown up. And I feel like, again I
didn't grow up with the was those the animated series, but I feel like
it speaks to an adult crowd at the same time as it speaks to and
caters to a young crowd as well through just the way that the team is
acting and the dilemmas that they're in now and just the kind of coming to
terms with certain things, and it just only expedites in episode two. I
feel like, but I'm just I'm really really happy. I'm I'm just yeah,
I'm just blown away. It's fantastic, Dylan, You're gonna share that
sentiment to threefold. Yeah, this just did not meet my expectations. It
just blew them away. You don't know that I saw no. I I
was fucking blown away by this. I thought these two episodes were absolutely amazing,
just such a huge step up from like, I don't know, I
guess what the older show was. I was so impressed across the board,
Like there are already like four or five storylines that I'm like on the edge
of my seat. I cannot wait to see where we go next, Like
such interesting stuff, really bold things too that like they didn't need to.
This could have just been same old thing, you know, a villain of
the weak sort of situation, the odd two parter. But like it seems
like they're going away above and beyond that, and I'm just so happy that
they are. It seems like this season is gonna have more of a cohesive
narrative than just like sometimes a two parter would connect and you know, like
a season might have like an arc overall, but for the most part,
there's like filler episodes and so maybe We'll get to some of that stuff,
but so far, I'm really liking the connectivity between it. The action was
like probably the best the series has ever been, like some of the use
of powers, and certain characters have like new abilities or they've like leveled up
from where we've seen them four, which is super exciting. Like Psychclops is
doing some crazy shit. Rogue blowing my mind with her abilities here. I
never knew she could do some of the stuff. And then, as Kirklin
said, More is like actually a fun character now, which is which is
great. But yeah, I thought this was just outstanding. I can't wait
to get into it. It's so so freaking good. Yeah, No,
I have nothing else to add the exact same boat. It's like we talked
about a couple weeks ago, where it's there's pros and cons. I had
about the trailer and I really needed to see the premiere to igno my actual
excitement, and this just hit an absolutely home run or just an absolute home
run, whatever you want to say. It had the juice and all the
corners that I needed and that I didn't know I needed, So that was
good. I compare it's funny because it has lots of echoes and vibes of
the original, but then it feels like it's definitely built the pawn itself,
which sounds weird to say, but it almost reminds me a little Top Gun
Maverick in a way where it has everything you like about that first Top Gun
but maybe just done better in a sense and their hddening familiar vibes. But
the good thing with this is already an episode two. I feel like episode
one was the hold your hand a little like chicken soup for the soul,
like, oh remember the Sentinels, remember this? But then episode two is
really like, hey, these last fifty minutes, we're gonna throw a barrage
and things that you think is that we absolutely love, especially me. And
then when we did the Spider Man series, like we'll get to it,
but just like relationship drama, oh my, and that's happening across the board
already, which I love, And that's definitely a key factor for the X
Men and my enjoyment at least. Yeah, Animation for the most where I
say I'm about eighty five percent happy. I think there's some frames that are
the brightness. It's like sometimes anytime Jane Gray is on screen, it feels
like she's brighter than the rest of them, and I don't think it's like
an on purpose and and just like her saturation's like why is that green so
green? The shirt she's wearing. And there's a couple where I feel like
there's like a couple outlash all or like like outward panning around where it's a
group of characters where you go, oh, this doesn't look the greatest,
but then sometimes it looks fantastic. Like there's just even this moment where there's
a training room sequence and there's Magneto in there, and he looks so good
the way he shaded the frame. So and I think the actual opening,
how they kind of read the opening credits, that looks fanta So yeah,
this is And I think the big thing that I'm happy for a lot of
people because I know I'm on a certain team, but I feel like,
in a nonsplore way, maybe it's hyperballic to say, but this and two
episodes maybe did more for Cyclops than an entire five seasons did for Cyclops.
You know, I think they actually made him fucking cool. They made him
seem like the leader they gave him, and he had sometimes had personality,
but I think also times his personality either came towards budding heads with Wolverine or
Jane. This was nice to see him have a real personality of as the
leader of the X Men, and I do want that. I appreciate that
he's not my favorite always team will Reen, but Scott's been done dirty for
many many years here and a lot of sanctums as far as the X Men
adaptations, right, So I think that was really cool. We'll get into
it. But yeah, I was not expecting an episode two to be this
good. I thought there might be some of this juicy stuff coming, but
I didn't think episode two. I'm happy there's not like there's two particular storylines.
I'm happy we're not just waiting around on already at the end this like,
okay, we are in the thick of it. And yeah, I
might tell where if there's a binge option, I would have been going going
on paid Disney plus a little more. I want to see what is next
and how they do. And I just think they're doing a really good job
interconnecting all the storylines and everyone's kind of getting a moment here to shine and
uh yeah, I've blown away. I was if this keeps its pace weird
enough, it could be like the best Disney Plus show with Marvel and Star
Wars. Now, who knows, because that happens a lot. I thought
the same thing with Obi Won. I thought the same thing with Oh Gosh,
Hawkey. I remember those first episodes of Hawkeye were like bangers. I
said, oh man, this is gonna be so you never know, and
they're tackling some crazy stuff coming up, so they could drop a ball.
But this gives me a lot of faith. And I really hope that the
reception of this that figy. I don't want them to do like a carbon
copy. Obviously they're not gonna put in the nineties, but I really hope
that, like, okay, the essence of the show here we gotta do
in live action, like this is what the this is what the X Men
gotta be in my opinion when they come to the big screen. Can't have
the exact same player, the same storylines, but just the area of what
they're doing here. Absolutely, So yeah, we'll get into it. We're
gonna get into spoilers. If you haven't seen it, you know, we'll
take a break come back, But if you have buckle up, baby,
because we're about to take a ride. So we'll be right back. And
we're back. Where do we want to start? Is there a person,
a storyline, a character. Terry has his hand right on right away,
right at the end, just the end credits. They going back to that
video game. I love it many thing. Yeah. I was not expecting
it and thought, oh, that's so so wonderful. It's quality life.
Same thing with the intro to right like it's it's the same idea of what
that was. I I kind of laughed when I just saw Charles Xavier on
the introduction. I'm like, well, fuck, here we go. We're
getting them back in the very first episode. Boys. Uh you know that
wasn't actually the case. So I was impressed by that. But I am
happy that they stuck to that original form. It didn't change it up too
much. Just as I heard that music coming, I was I was juicing,
you know as the old as the old adage says, chills chills,
Yeah, because it's like a bit more of a guitar heavy this theme.
So it's the same theme but a little bit different. But morph he's on
the title or they're on the title card now, so it's good to see
is swapping title cards too, because Magneto is on the second one. That's
my it's not a con yet because I want to see other shows. That's
my only way. Maybe we can just start with him because it's weird,
but I really want to get answer why Bishop's on the team. I thought
Bishop was gonna get on the team eventually because I'd heard, okay, we've
thought about before, Bisop's gonna join the team. So I thought, okay,
more if it makes sense he's a member. He just comes back,
you know sun Spot. They set up to why he could be on the
team. It was just kind of weird. Why he just like Morph just
chilling hanging out there. There wasn't anything in the final season where we watch
where Morph is like our bishops, like, yeah, I'm now a part
of you the X Men, right, So I'm hoping it's some dialogue of
because what is he just abandoned his time now? Is he just or is
this our present day bit like it couldn't be our present day Bishop because he'd
be like a baby or something right, like he wouldn't be alive. Even
so that's where one Yeah, well, no, I mean, like you
would you not even be born yet this Bishop, right, like in our
Bood present day, it'd be like Bishop's grandmother or something right in nineteen ninety
seven. If Bishop's from the future, he's like an embryo or something right
now, right, he's a semen. So yeah, yeah, so that's
why I want to know why is Bishop just like abandoned his like does get
destroyed. So that's something I was waiting for these two episodes. It didn't
get answered, and I don't think Bishop was in here enough. I think
he got a really cool moment in the fight where that sentinel just blasts him
and he just turns around just like pops off. So it's great to see.
So that's my maybe only like character con so far. It's like I
want to know what's up with Bishop and why is it here and what's going
on? He even ever used the kind of absorbing power in the original show,
Like I just remember him having guns once he understood time travel. Yeah,
it seems like he wants I remember him doing something with his arm in
the original and like shooting it, but not as it had like the same
purple effect that Black Panther has when he does that with his suit that he
gets at some point in the MCU. But yeah, I mean there's definitely
that was definitely a thing in the original show, right. It's just that
certain characters we talked about like would maybe just be gone for like four or
five episodes, or they wouldn't have much of a plot or even like Jubilee
is like a big storyline in this first episode and then she's not really in
the second one. Yeah, so I'm sure that we're gonna get somebody with
Bishop, because you're right, I think that feels like somebody we need to
fill in the gap. Like even Morph, It's like we kind of leave
it off in a weird spot, but like you can, we can at
least understand why Morph would be on the team. But yeah, Bishop does
seem like a weird one, So hopefully we do get some sort of element
to it, because they definitely mentioned that too. It's like they were talking
about that bracelet that he has that can control time and stuff. So I
feel like they're hinting that they're gonna do some time travel something in this season.
But yeah, I'm glad he's on the team, and I like that
he is a bit more fun with the with the power set, and I
like that he got like an early spotlight because they kind of like slowly introduce
the characters like Storm comes into that Foah base and then like Bishops up there
too, kind of early on. So it's fun to have him on there
to get go. Yeah, I don't, uh, I don't love his
new look though. I feel like out of everyone I know, I'm missing
the long hair. I like, yeah, I need the long hair back.
And it just doesn't seem as shredded as he did like that that early.
He's going on then one right now correctly he's just w a ball cup.
He's going on toning. You know, maybe maybe that's uh, the
nutrition of this world just doesn't meet his body like the future world, right,
like the food they have there, or he's just even pure like garbage
right because they're on the run all the time, the mute. So yeah,
the future cows are just like juiced on steroids that we can't mutant cows,
not only that humans are mutants. Yeah, So that was and that's
in general too. I was like Taylor when you brought the old Setinela,
because we had talked about that, right, and I'm kind of glad in
the first eepnos the setinels were around, but really it felt like they were
like a third of the first episode, which I liked, and that actual
battle scene was really cool. But because I was I was willing to give
them a mull again of makes sense episode one do the Sentinels. It's kind
of like the Force Awakens thing where you're kind of tributing the first episode.
But all those power attacks, so we got to finally see the Gambit Wolverine
power. We got to see, like we said, Bishop pop off,
we get to see morph just either flying or throwing people around when they're transforming
into Blob or Angel. Cyclops gets like maybe the super coolest hero landing ever
of all time, where he's falling the sky. He just goes like this
and then he uses his even though his whip major whiplash going on. Neck
has got to be like the most powerful part of his body to just like
hold up his whole body. It was a cool scene, sweet superhero landing
for sure, but yeah, the logistics didn't make sense to me. He
does it too in the earlier fight scene with the Foh people, where he'll
just like use his laser beams to like boost himself around the room, like
just do a little dash attack. It's so fucking sweet. I love it.
It's like it's my favorite thing that his powers have gotten, like this
movement based upgrade to them, and just I can just imagine like in these
few years since he's just been like training, practicing in the danger room,
like beasts probably had this idea of like, hey, you could use your
lasers with physics and like move yourself around. Let me try it out,
And now he's just so cool. Gene didn't tell me I could do that.
And I don't think it's been a few I think it's legitimately only been
nine months because when they got their certificate it said nineteen ninety six for Charles,
and now they're ninety seven. So I think it's only been nine months,
which that's almost a year, so maybe a couple more months. But
it's interesting. There's a couple of storylines that seemed like maybe a few years
have gone by. Yeah, but that is surprising to me, but it's
not because I I don't know if it breaks the story for me, but
it definitely yeah. Interesting. I'm gonna have nine months though, right that's
almost a year. I caught it this time because I rewatched it twice,
right, just we watched I watched it twice and then yeah, the certificate
says November eleventh, nineteen ninety six. I'm not sure if that was when
the finale was too, but that's when Xavier's death certificate is, so two
months before ninety seven. So and I don't know where they are now there
we at least know nine months because Gene wasn't pregnant in the finale, right
they were saying they were saying too, like Xavier's murder like a year ago
and whatnot on the TV. Yeah, so maybe it's been a year.
Maybe because it's nine months, so maybe it's been a couple. Yeah,
a couple cup of t and Gene could have been pregnant at the time,
right, not showing everything, but yeah, you got beast. He was
on the battlefield, he took over the Sentinel. Was really cool. That
was awesome. And then a hype moment is because it's not something that was
around with the X Men pack in the day, but now in colin books
and everything via mega level mutants, when all those sentinels just sense a mega
level muton and then Psyclog like give them the forecast and she comes out,
Oh my, that's building up to it. That's yeah anime moment. It
was yeah. No. So the battle, which I was expected to be
like a ho hum, yeah whatever, fight the Sentinels again, they absolutely
delivered. So I love that. I said, Okay, we're in good
hands. We're in really good hands here, especially just how like chaotically it's
it started right because we don't like fully see, I don't think a Sentinel
up until that point. Then it just completely destroys the Blackbird, Like the
Blackbird did not make it out of episode one of the show, surprising enough,
but because like leading up to it, they had the foh members with
like the Sentinel weaponry, right, and I'm like, okay, this is
how we're gonna get the Sentinel idea into this first episode. And then is
a gene that has like the vision of Master Mold in Cerebro. Yeah,
she reads Garrick's mind. Remember they're interrogating him in the air, So like
I just thought it was like a trippy brain sequence of Master Mold. And
then sure enough, just like sentinels go crazy by the end of this episode,
and uh, it like completely worked for me. Though, like I
I think if it wasn't done well, it would have been like, oh,
they're just doing episode one of the first show again, you know,
the Sentinels, they're introducing new care. Just like she literally goes like,
you know, they attacked my school once and she's like it's so on the
nose and she says that it's like, but I ran away just like you.
It's like, oh my god, That's why I was for episode two.
I was like, please don't do like whatever, like a carbon copy
sinister apocalypse, whatever. But they did. They did a really good job
with it. So I am glad that it's not like leading up that Master
Mold is going to be the main threat of this season, but like,
you know, we hit that box and I'm happy. I'm happy we got
to see them because as you guys were breaking down, like the fight sequence
was, it was just so next level. And that's where, like I
was saying earlier, it's just the way that they're able to do like some
of these fight scenes now with like modern animation, it just it blows my
mind. It's you know, like I'm not caught up an invincible, but
like some of those fight scenes in vincel Man are are top tier and yeah,
very like anime like, which is how Yeah, just just the build
up of certain characters, entrances, and just the scale of their abilities.
I they just feel so much more powerful than they did in that first show,
and I think that's mostly just because of the quality of them making the
show. You can really feel it. This man continues to lie on to
me. He said he would catch up a invincible when he was done school.
When did you finished school? Get kirtling just today you know, yeah,
yeah, of course, yeah, boy, anything just to yeah,
to add to it. I love that they weren't just fully prepped ready to
go sentinels either, the way they were coming out of the ground zombies.
They it was so cool. I really really love that just hanging out for
How how long was tressed there? He's been there for months, just in
the Sentinel graveyard waiting, you know, yeah, just there. I was
waiting for you. You got that scene to travel again the just for me?
Yeah, well, because you highlighted a while ago when we did the
trailer review. But when uh, Wolverine's claws get like nuked by by Gambit
and then he just one like one one shot Master Mold, Like fuck,
that's we saw that back in the day. Man, the combo moves are
great, like charging up the clause and then like boosting him with another car
and then balancing off blob or morph. I guess it is such a just
fun trio. And we got some of that in the second episode as well.
It was just that's like Ultimate Alliance stuff right there, just doing all
these crazy colmbo moves together again. Then we did that check out the Other
Side Quest season next one we did a couple of weeks ago is the X
Men X Legends three roster. This was that scene was making me want that
game, Like, man, I want to do all these calm moves with
all these X Men, you know, yeah, they're the part when they
arrived there and then the Sentinel just all of a sudden like jump scared,
just rips the top of the jets off, and then Cyclops is like grabbed
by the arm and then way they filmed it like he's the arm crashes into
the part of the jet and he's like lass half the body Like it's such
a cool shot. It was, and I get it because cycles like the
leader and now we're seeing like he's supposed to be that good. But that
was a bold play just to pop off in mid air to like to take
us like he just like blasted the plan like took out something like it was
very very risky move, I thought. On the second watch, they're all
in free fall and then Scott just like he just dives like straight down.
He's like, good job, X men, I'll meet you on the ground
and I'm like, come on, he can't fly, and then of course
we'll proceed. It is the laser landing. If they all land on the
ground, they you see Scott's broken body like he's a good job, X
men sealed the ground just getting me well, speaking of Morph, this is
where I kind of immediately got, uh it's like side not sidetracked, but
like was wondering, like, oh my gosh, they got what's the guy's
name with the angels? Yeah? Literally Angel, Angel flew Angel part of
the like the team, Now where did Angel come from? But then as
the story goes on, yeah, you see Morph changing to all the different
characters like, oh, okay, that's really cool. You guys already talked
about it, but him just really flexing the uh the different abilities, and
I felt like that was a gray area for us last season or just last
show, where if like sometimes Morph had the abilities and sometimes More didn't have
the abilities, where this felt like every single time, Yeah when more Blob,
Silock Angel, who uh savor Tooth. I'm just gonna say the only
table get this reference because you're watching the Boys, do you think Wolverine has
anything that's going Remember what Homelander did with that guy that could shape shift and
anybody wanted And he started to fucking like, it's Wolverine doing this with Morph
on the side, because like, I just feel like they're spending lots of
time together for people that are gonna get mad. It's been canon that Cyclops
and Wolverine have got it on in the comic, so Wolverine will swing that
way. Same with Scott. So it's just like the way they're posing them
together in this series. I was like, I don't think they'll ever fully
go there, but I'm like the they're just always hanging out. And when
he turned in the saber Tooth just like get Logan fired, I'm like,
this was great. It was great. If I just like, no,
they just turned into Gene or somebody to like together. Yeah, like they
got like a couple dynamic going on. So I'm just throwing out there.
I think it's the second episode maybe, but Morph turns into Gene and then
like Logan's like talking to Morph like as if it's just like a normal thing
that he's done before. It's not like, oh, cut it out,
don't be Gene, but it's just like not now, like it was just
one of those things, right. Yeah. So I'm just saying, especially
they like they made a big deal this character is all fine with being a
woman. They're non binary, Like I'm just saying, especially with the X
Men, it would fit. Again, I don't think they'll go that route,
but I think if they wanted to leave it up to like fan crafting,
the only way they'll shut that down is I'm still curious if they're gonna
ever put Overing and Storm together, how they eventually get married. I'm curious
if we're ever gonna get those inklings. But if they don't, any fans
can definitely like fan theory those two. They can ship them easily. With
these two episodes, especially the end. The say or two thing was funny,
but it was like a little weird for me of like just like he's
like yeah, I got so pumped in that scene though, because like in
in the first show, you know, they always say that, like what's
Logan's line, Like yeah, like they just it's it's just I guess known
like it wasn't just yeah, that's exactly it. It's told that they have
a really great dynamic. But here just just seeing like Logan being all like
down and out, like hiding on a tree, and then like Morph comes
out like you know, he's got beer, ship shifts like come on,
let's let's just let's be positive here, and then it's like no, I
don't want any of that turns into saber tooth and then yeah, they're ready
to go. I I don't know, I just I really like it's like
a two second scene. But I'm so glad that they put stuff like that
in and hopefully just going forward, they just keep adding those little, you
know, slice of life moments throughout the show. I did feel like Morph
impersonating Professor X was maybe like is that like too soon? Is that like
good? I think so it fits with Moreph's humor. I would say,
well, if that's the case, fuck, I'd hate to have Worth around
all the time because I just feel like they would annoy you so much.
But I guess it has been year and again, technically Xavier is not dead.
He is hopefully getting healed in a planet somewhere, so I guess that's
the idea. I also just thought the conversation was not the time for more
to chime in either as Xavier. You know, so it was a bold
play by Morph, but they did a lot of bold plays, like I
said, Xavier Gene. But cool to see them in the battles. I'm
excited to see even in two episodes seeing I guess a blob cyclaw or silog
an angel. Who else is more gonna change into? Like the remaining six
Now death Strike was in there as well. I think its oh District wasn't
there right, I remember that when they go in and first fight that executioner.
I guess there's like a quick sequence where like transform between destrict clauses to
sidewalk kind of all in one sequence, which is just so fun and I
think that's a great way too. Where you know, we have one season
right now, I think the second season is confirmed, right they're making a
second Yeah, second season and thirds and development gonna see a lot of these
characters. But in lieu of that, like, why not just throw in
some of these fan favorites through just like a quick Morph fight scene. I
think that's a great way to kind of implement more characters into this show in
general. And yeah, because in the original show, like I think we
only ever talked about it as like, okay, like any character that had
like physically a big body, it seemed like Morph could inhabit those powers of
just being very strong, but never anything really beyond that. So I'm like
that now it's full Like, I don't know, could Morph use a Cyclops
laser? I guess we haven't really quite seen that yet, but I feel
yes, probably maybe not like as good at it as Cyclops would be,
obviously because they haven't trained with it necessarily, but I think in theory they
could. I feel like Morph could. I think it's there, so I'm
interested. I do have my Bengal card now. In one of these two
seasons, I bet that's gonna be the Deadpool cameo where Morph is gonna turn
into Deadpool in a quick battle scene, because I don't see and I don't
want Deadpool in the show because I love Deadpool, but we don't need him
in right now. But I think the same way we got that one flash
of Deadpool, that could be a way for Morph just to turn this character
and everyone would kind of lose their minds for a split second to see Deadpool
on the fighting with the X Men, and then Morph turns back. So
that's my prediction. One of these two seasons, you'll see Deadpool via Morph.
That's what I'm thinking. Would you keep Morph's voice or would you just
cameo Ryan Reynolds's voice in there? No, I think it would be like
the Today where it's just more fighting. I don't think it's gonna be the
actual voice or anything like that. I don't think they go that far.
I think it would just be in a battle scene and maybe you just see
Deadpool off on the side. Why would he turn in? Why would they
turn the Deadpool? I don't know, But you know, why did they
turn like the I don't think they need to turn into Silock in that specifically
in that moment, right Like she's a good fighter, I guess, but
Morph could turn into Yeah, Morph could turn into anybody, right and Deadpool
same thing. Good striker fighters to Apocalypse. Just grab great joke of the
baby's coming with Jean's like he's here the Wolverine claws out where Apocalypse And it's
kind of like a good meta thing too, because they think we joke about
how many times Apocalypse came back in the original show and he was always dead
dead, like even at the end of season four, which was like the
end game season five, he's still working his way back. So it was
great And we're assuming this is me as long as they've gone without fighting Apocalypse.
If it's been a year, that's probably like a record for them,
you know, so, so they're just getting ready for Logan. Logan is
ready to go right now. But yeah, great joke right there. That's
I love that that. That was great that that scene to following that he
was ready just to kill humans, just to deliver this baby. If Gene
wasn't capable of moving those people, he would have killed them. That tracked.
I think that tracks like. I like that there's I like the tension
between there's always a tension between Scott and Wolverine and Jane, right, but
I like that still not relationship base. That doesn't feel like Wolverine is pining
for it does feel like he has accepted even more, says that of oh,
doesn't it suck to see the perfect couple in the perfect marriage the perfect
day, and literally calls you, yeah, well, he literally called Wolverine
a side chick in a way, right, and not saying that Jean's getting
on with Wolverine, but I just mean I feel like Wolverine has he's accepted
that. Okay, I'm just gonna sit here and watch this happen. But
now I like the tension is that Scott's not a great leader. At least
Wolverine feels is not a great leader, right, So I feel like it's
great in the moments where Wolverine does need to be the one caring for Gene,
he's gonna step up. He's gonna be the dad that stepped up,
and he's gonna make like if Scott were to die, he's moving in for
sure. But I like that it's not Also, he wasn't ever romancing Gene
in this like a this could have been a arch like as happy none of
that happened because, as we said in the original show, they kind of
cabosh that. So I was happy they weren't like Oh, it's a new
era, O new show. People expect that. Let's bring that back again.
Wolver in a second of Jean said, hey, I choose you.
He would go with her, but I like that it's just like a underlining
love and just he'll do anything, like Taya said, even maybe execute some
hospital people. I don't think he would. I think he just remove a
couple of fingers. Though. I don't think he's gonna murder anybody, but
you never know, I guess right, So I feel like too his well,
morph was calling out this dilemma of Logan being the on the side,
and which is totally justified. I also do think the thing that Logan was
alluding to as well was the fact that Scott was thinking of leaving with Jane
to have that normal life. And I think that's I like that, That's
really was what was bothering him, and almost felt like while he was still
coming maybe working on the idea that Okay, Gene is obviously never gonna be
his, Jean's having a baby with Scott, they're moving on in their lives,
but the idea of them leaving the X mansion, I think that's what
was really shows how he's grown as a character and how he's accepted, but
he's also not in a position to be ready for this change. It's like
it's another big change on top of the change he's still working through and trying
to come to that exavior too, right, it's not even that it's like
same thing. They even say if they leave, who would be the leader?
Which I thought, like shade to storm everybody like they rode was like
you were the original Exavier students, who would lead us? It's like fucking
storm, like we've joked on the thas been these two episodes. Seems like
she'd be rare and to go. But and that's what I did like the
little note that Wolverine was the first one to figure out that they might be
leaving. Scott and Jean start to tell everybody, but he's the one that
tells more of Like he gives more of this whole list of all these reasons
of why Jean wouldn't want to raise a baby here, and he's like,
they're gonna be leaving, so again, Wolverine sometimes gonna be emotional, kind
of a loghead. But I like that he read the room and yeah,
that's a good retailer. That that's probably another thing upsetting him along with he
just doesn't like taking orders from Scott, right. He's like he literally said
Scott being the leader of the X one was worse than Garrett being back,
which was like very like Wolverine's style of like hey man, cal him down,
and he's like, oh, you know, it's worse than Garrett being
back is the ever being gone and dealing with you just like, well,
come on, like Dar's a fucking terrorist, man, But you know that's
Wolverine, bullheaded, right, So I love that moment though, it like
you really just feel like like a gut punch for Cyclops like in that moment,
like he's trying his best to keep this team together, you know,
like fill the void that Charles is gone and just step up, like how
can how can anyone replace Charles? Right? And then that's his position that
he kind of has to go in the X Men. You know, they're
a great team, but they they're also just you know, they're not the
easiest to rally sometimes, like like they're out playing their their basketball games meanwhile,
like you know, he even says that, yeah, they wouldn't be
playing basketball Charles was here. He just sounds like an angry dad or something.
But but like right in that moment, like when wo Wolverine drops that
line, and then uh like like you just you like you feel like he's
a lot more hurt than he's showing. And then of course Jean's like he
doesn't mean it, cyclops or whatever. Yeah, so I just really like
that line, Like it seemed like a lot more of a mature moment than
I would have expected throughout the the other X Men animated series and just like,
I don't know, it just it left a mark I felt for my
boy Scott in that moment. Yeah, lots of pressure for Scott Logan's intro
too. I really liked how again he wasn't in the first battle and I
was thinking, okay, like where is he? When's he gonna pop in?
And so when the kids in the training room and Jubilee is just like
cranking him, trying to get him get his powers to come out, and
he he thinks it's part of the illusion or part of the virtual reality.
He's pinned down. And I can't remember what Wolverine says, but when the
when he shuts down the program, it does a close up of the boy's
face and his eyes are like wider, widest eyes I have ever seen in
my life, Like they're fully opened. It's like Bilbo and exactly. Yeah,
he's absolutely terrified and Logan's just laughing at him. Yeah, what do
you guys feel about your first and uh, the god, I don't know
what sunspot? Yeah I had a specific word, but what do you feel
a sunspot? He literally was the Jubilee of this episode that was like the
Force Wakens thing where you know, these foh people have him. He's offering
to pay him. He's like, I'm on the nice mutes. Foh,
Like there are no nice mutes. You know, they're being racist as usual.
So they're they're operating on all bases again. The teams with him,
and he needs information. He runs away like Jubilee, they get them.
They save him at a dance club. What you'll get do? Because I
feel like them trying to be inco neito. Maybe Juli should have been thrown
on her fucking sparks out, but like I like this scene, but it
was just like we gotta be undercovering, get those fohs, and then Jubilee
is just like yeah, yeah, like just like feeling good about herself more
Power tour. But I think I liked him enough, but I definitely need
to see some more episodes. At least, it wasn't au I felt indifferent
or dislike the character. I was like, okay, and I actually did
because we kind of have the you know, the rumors of him and Jubilee
might be an item. I actually did think there was like some fun chemistry,
like young adult love going on there. So so far, i'd say
like a thumbs up on him for this episode, but I need to still
see a bit more for myself. Yeah, definitely in the same boat.
I mean it, There isn't really any content. He's not even in the
second episode at all, right, so he kind of takes the back seat
there. But I think it was a good ending of that first episode where
he gives Jubilee his number and the knee pieces out of there, so I'm
sure he'll he'll, yeah, definitely be back in the fold in some way.
He showed off his powers just a little bit, but I also felt
like that was definitely a hint. So yeah, I'm excited to see more
of his character. I don't know really what I expected because I have no
background for the character. But we're gonna be to be this kind of like
naive rich kid who thinks he can just like buy his way out of everything.
We'll see how that angle goes, because I don't know if I necessarily
find that they'd be the most compelling. But I think the other side of
it, of him learning to accept himself and find his new family here the
people who actually accept him, like, that's the more interesting angle, even
if it's something we seen before a lot with the X Men. So hopefully
we do. Uh yeah, I'm sure we're gonna get into that stuff for
but and just making a difference too, because he says that truly he's like,
oh, why would I want to just live my life flowing some bald
guys like ritual or something like that. And then she explains, well,
it's not about that, it's about doing these things. So you show you
care for your you know, mutant race and all these things. So that
might be the thing where he can escape the foh or whatnot, But he's
not gonna make a difference with all this money, or maybe that's will come
to it. Maybe he'll use that money the same way Xavier did right to
build a school this and that maybe there's a way for him to use the
money in one way the X Men, which doesn't make sense because like all
Xavier's money is still there. It just went to Magnus, which we'll talk
about in a bit. But yeah, you don't really think about the fact
that Xavier is rich. I think is obviously, but yeah that Magneto drops
that line like Xavier had very deepockets. Oh yeah, his family is very
wealthy. So that's where maybe it could come into play that maybe may needles,
you know, indispose and they need some sort of cash flow when Sunspot
can hit them up and do something. So that hopefully could be a good
journey about the whole you know, trying to fight for your your immune and
race and turn a coat. So sun Spot was in just two X Men
movies, right, like live action. Yeah, but it's like nothing characters.
Yeah, like just like I guess nemans. Yeah, but I don't
know anything that's like a huge impression. I'd say, So, okay,
top to your cards and snap that. I'll tell you that much. Look
at that top to your card. Mhm. Let's see another another thing.
I another sequence. I really love it. Well, Kirk. Then you
mentioned like the kind of slice of life moments, and we obviously had that
with like the basketball game. We got a couple other ones, but I
really just like that kind of early scene at the mansion where Gambit once again
is cooking and I'm just like, I know Geene's gonna come in the room,
like how right, bad cooking. But I just I really like that
scene. I Mean, we talked about the more part with coming in as
Professor X, but just another great way to get introduced all these characters,
and I just really like this kind of conversation between them all, but once
again camp Gambit and like, wow, what an outfit he was wearing.
Oh yeah, the crop top going on. That was a very fun sequence.
And yeah, I hope we get more of that because even just after
that, like in the lab when they were helping out some sunspot stuff and
then into the dangerom, just like that whole X Mension sequence was was so
much fun to see. And then obviously, uh, what is it like
later on at the basketball court and all that, So yes, everything there
is good time. So I'm excited to see more of that. My only
worry was that at one point Scott even says it like, oh, he's
so careless. But our gambit picks up a begnet and charges it and throws
it at Scott, and then Jeane stops and throws out there, and then
Jeane's like, oh, like whatever, he's just you know, he's having
a good time. He's just being carefree. But then that's when Scott's like,
yeah, oh he doesn't care about damaging anything or anybody or whatnot.
And I was with Scott on that one of why are you throwing a super
charge begne? Like if that was gonna hit side cloths like, I feel
like they would have heard him mess up the kitchen a little. I just
what was his plan? Like maybe he just saw a gut of the corner
Eine news again, but what was his plan to charges Ben here? He
just whip it right out, Scott like, I don't think he did it
extreme. So it's really extreme, especially the face shot in the kitchen,
like all these factors, you know, just expecting father, he can't be
down out. She's about to pop any day, You're gonna like con cuss
him. I was completely with Scott on that one, like, yeah,
next to Wolvering, you was my favorite X Men, but I was like,
man, yeah, he's definitely he's Team Logan. He's had enough of
Scott Lee and the X Men after nine months. He's like, I'm over
it, man, Like, let's let's give Logan to try. Let's see,
you know, let's get morph in there. But uh, let's take
an ad break and then maybe we'll start diving into these some of these big
storylines that were thrown upon us. So we'll be right back and we're back.
So in that kitchen scene, you know, like we said, he
throws the vigne gets stopped by a very pregnant Jean Gray, big belly.
She's not on the missions that much. We see her used to reroll once
to talk to Garrett, which Garrett really good scene. I love because they
the people nailed the arguments that like racist pieces shoulds have where they said like
a quality and acceptance is the route to extinction because people think like, oh,
if you accept people, that's replacing you at the table, when really
the idea is just to make the table bigger, like it's to include everybody
but this guy and the writing of the Garrett just like the analogies were all
perfect for how some people just like wrongly view the world. So that was
good and they got the information and then Gene had a very trippy sequence which
I've read to mention the title card. I really liked Morph's Sinister like dream
in the middle, that where you see Sinister in the eye and Morph's getting
bugging out because obviously Sinister did a lot of crazy stuff to them, but
oh yeah, it's in both of them. So yeah, because it's Morps
running, Morse fighting, and then all of a sudden it goes like black
and red and then it's tentacles of Sinister and then in Morph's eye you can
see the reflection of Sinister lack the language. Yeah, which I think is
good because clearly what I think is gonna happen to whenever Sisters comes back,
Morre's gonna have some serious PTSD for this. Like right now where Morphs is
kind of they walk into the club, they're snap and stuff. I think
that's gonna go away the second he here is they hear that laugh? Or
are you know? And who knows it's gonna happen. But Gene yet very
pregnant. That's the whole idea of like should we leave the X Men this
baby's coming. It's established that Gene knows it's a boy, so you got
that going on. Of course in the battle with the foh and they got
this really god, the execution is really vile. Piece of motherfucker. We'll
get to him. But there's a big fight Scott, which I get,
but we're gonna get to make Needle. There's a trial maing Needle. I
get that ginas in labor, but very very bold for him and Rogue both
to leave the situation. I get the babies coming, but like in mid
battle, losing two of your top tier X men, I thought that,
I don't know if that's the greatest call, but whatever, they gotta get
cyclops the hospital. Rogue can also absorb anything from humans, so she becomes
a doctor, which I did not insane. I've never seen that done in
any comments room. Maybe has happened because I'm not right everything, but it's
like really so, I wasn't sure I feel about that, But okay,
this doctor won't deliver immune baby by profession. Do you think she's gonna use
this season by taking someone's power or Ramsey painter? Yeah, yeah, paint
the baby's room. Yeah, that could be cool. Just like in prison
an artist so that she can suck the powers out and steve jobs so the
munes can get the rights on all those apple products he makes. Yeah,
it kind of kerfuffles me a bit because why even use any mind reading abilities
period when you can have rogue just latching because everything but only get secrets,
right, they get their skills. But but well that's just it, like
the skills and knowledge. Like it's hard to determine where this line is drawn
between this because it's information. The doctor has studied and he's learned, and
he has all of that information in his mind and he can tap in and
he can think about it to know what he has to do. So if
someone has secrets and knows the code to unlock a door, knows where the
bomb is, she could just hold their hand and then she would be able
to know where that is. Technically, it's it's the same application, at
least the way I see it. Yeah, it's it's a can of worms
that they it's open now, you know. I wish she didn't open it.
Yeah, I wish there was just one doctor on the floor of Like,
how dare you like, I'll deliver your baby even if it's like I'm
a first year interim a resident, but so it's like I don't know what
I'm doing, but like I'll try. I would have liked it to have
just the entire hospital was like, fuck you mutants, which is weird because
I get that there's fucking mune people, but they have established that since like
this is the best Mune kind has been since Xavier died. They said that
in the first episode where his sacrifice turned a lot of people for the Mutes
and saw, oh, they might be with us. So that's where I
would have just liked that better, because I agree. I think it's kind
of a can of worms. For now. Ro can just take on any
like computer program or chef painter, like anything she wants to do. She
could just become. It's just I don't know. Yeah, Like the most
surprising thing for me in that scene was like she wasn't scared at all of
like potentially just killing this human right like she was. She wasn't like she
said, it's a gene. She said, I'm worried that your child,
you know, like she was more worried about killing the baby. Yeah,
He's like, yeah, it wasn't even like it didn't seem like he was
super racist though. It was just like because it was not racism. It
was the fact that they don't know what the powers are and like like we
saw it and let's say days of feature passed when Pride was controlling Wolverine,
and Wolverine freaked out and like slashed at her right, and that's what could
happen a doctor. Could you get his throat cut open because the logan's child
comes out with the claws just starts swinging. He said it was definitely based
on racism. Racist. It's the same prejudice is like the nicer way,
like, oh, I'm just pretty No, no, no, that that
was a racist character, Like don't say it was like they could have had
this scare character. I really want you, but I don't want to lose
my life. I've kids in my own us. I won't touch your mutant
fetus or whatever. Like it was not exact line, but he had the
tone of my voice. He had that in the base of his throat right
there. He was not even if it was yeah, but uh, anyway,
so they delivered the baby. I'm assuming Wolverine cut the umbilical cord.
Everything seems to be fine with what did they name him, Nathan Charles Summers.
So there you go. Uh, and then there's other stuff we're gonna
talk about. We're just some of the storyline right now. They get to
the X Mansion, they've completed the mission. They're kind of bonding with Magnetos,
seeming like everything's good. And then you had a knock at the door.
Door opens and lo and behold it's Jean Gray, a non pregnant Jean
Gray. It looks identical to the Jean Gray holding a baby, and everyone
is in shock. And this is what I remember when you guys asked me
about the baby, when I said, there's a lot of crazy shit that
happens with Summer's kids, and where I cannot I'm not gonna say a single
word. I cannot fucking wait for you guys to go on this rye because
oh my goodness, were and they did it. That was me Kirkland.
Where there's certain things, but I was so happy one that she was not
pregnant the whole season. I was really worried we'd get like six episodes.
In the finale, like episode two, they dealt with the Magneto and her
being pregnant. But yeah, mister Patzer, you can start first, what
did you think of everything involving Jean Gray and this baby, and what are
your what are your thoughts and theories? What's what's going on right now with
the Jeans? Seems like you know some answers, So I I'll making a
fool of myself with my my predictionary. Well, actually, first of all,
I'll say I agree with you. I'm really glad that she's not pregnant.
The whole season makes me think that, you know, we'll get Jean
really popping off as opposed to just being someone that stays behind at the mansion
because she's just with child, but like she is with child, but not
internally externally with child. When yeah, when they had like the knock of
the door at the end, I mean, I don't really know anything that's
going on. I know, I know sinister like some clones, so maybe
there's some of that action going on. But at first I was honestly just
like, I guess that's mystique or something, but like, why would she
be knocking on the door as Jean Gray. That doesn't really make sense,
and like why would they cliffhanger us with that like like if it if it
would be mystique, that would be revealed in like the first two seconds of
the episode. So I don't really think that's the case there, but uh,
I mean it was. It was puzzling. Nonetheless, I guess it's
it's a good way to end the episode. Yeah, I don't. I
don't know. I really am in the dark here. Yeah, I mean
I don't really have a theory myself. I mean, I I googled who
Nathan Summers is supposed to be. I don't know if that's a spoiler who
that it definitely is. It definitely is because you know who it is now,
right, Yeah, I mean yeah, at one point, at one
point I had said, you guys want to know this? In all three
you said no, So I've never said anything, and they never addressed in
the original series, so I would say it's a definitely one point you guys
were like, don't tell me anything, So it is okay, I'm not
gonna say anything. So yeah, but no, I mean I think it's
a great it's a it's a great reveal because I yeah, definitely my first
thought thought as well was something like mystique. But you know, the thing
that's weird about it is the timing, Like, Okay, why is this
happening within like a day or hours of the baby being born? Like that
just feels like such a It's not just a coincidence that that that's happening.
So I mean, I don't I don't know what the hell is going on
here, And even knowing who that baby is, who that baby becomes supposed
it doesn't really give me any theories as to how this could be other than
making some hair brain scheme. So uh I it's just it's great though.
It's such a fun thing to be playing with, and uh yeah, I'm
excited into it. I want to stay off Google now. I'm tempted tempted
by the Google. But one week, I think, isn't it's gonna be
like a different version of Bishop and grows up to be the bishop you know
from Days of Future Path. Big change changed there. I think next week
you're gonna I don't think it's the way they ended it. I don't think
it's going anything where they drag it out. I think you're gonna get your
answers all next week pretty much. I think they're going to hit you with
everything. But will you, Taylor, you got any theories? Well,
firstly, I think Logan is super happy because now he gets himself Genes.
That's three mystique. Yeah. So I when the door Jean popped up,
I first split second was expecting Jane behind Scott to turn into mystique. I
don't know why, just stab some of the back mystique for a whole year.
But yeah, I I have no idea what to expect. That's that
is not the character I was anticipating to pop up at that door. So
I am I am like, fuck, fine out. I don't know what's
going on. I really don't Who were you expecting at the door. I
don't ask that there was a there was kills the baby. There was a
brief moment when the door opened that I had an inkling of a certain character,
and I can't remember who that character was because I was just I disregarded
it. As soon as Jean popped up, I was like, oh what
so I don't know. There you go. We're talking next week. Yeah,
I'm very excited. I think you won't disappoint. It's gonna be a
good time there storm, you know. Sorry, I have one question,
of course, on that storyline is that sequence when she's using Cerebro and she's
in Garrick's mind? What what just was it revealed? What was going on
there? Or is it kind of ambiguous who was in that mind with her?
Because I was left a little confused by that. But from something you
said earlier, Travis made it sound like maybe that was revealed and I just
missed a line or something. I don't think it was revealed. I think
it just showed some stuff going on. But I think that's gonna I think
someone was in there with her. Yeah, I think they're gonna reveal that
stuff next week. I think. Okay, Yeah, I didn't know it
was like another telepath like person, like a like Frost, you know,
or if it was like I was getting like shadow shadow King vibes based on
like the aesthetic of everything, and that would make sense too in terms of
like the realms that Shadow King exists on. So those are my two thoughts,
But I don't really know what the relation would be between those moments and
like Garrick's mind specifically, so excited to see more of or maybe it's related
to this whole baby thing and there's some whole way it's all connected. I'm
not really sure, but I'm curious to see what that's about. Well obviously
not obviously, but I'm assuming Garrick is connected to all this mumbo jumble going
on. So could that other character that appeared in her vision be the other
gene? I guess that's a good point. Yeah, that's a good point
very well. Could be. Just Charles is like, get the funk out
of my stream, bro, that's mine. You can't use that without my
permission. Where is my Storm? Yeah? We learn we learned that she
would meet me here between Storm and then Magneto calling her the close thing to
Ghanis. You know, like, man, Storm, She's a beauty,
isn't she? Charles? I saw that new X Men you have Storm,
my goodness, like they they are in love with or oh my goodness like
that. I just love that show that happened. So I was like,
I was like waiting for it to happen. When when because he like turns
to Storm, like he says something and then I'm like, in my mind,
I'm just thinking of that the last line says to her, and then
he basically says the exact same things, like the close thing to a goddess
on this earth, Like, mah, they just love this lady. Yeah,
it's not the love though, right, you know I love her?
Do you look? Speaking of Storm, looking like we're going through some trouves.
So we talk about some predictions and we didn't go fully into it.
I'm sure. I'm not sure dealing if you did another Google or whatnot.
But one of these episodes coming up, and we talked about the two parts
where they're called there's Life Deaf Part one and Part two. That storyline centers
around Storm dealing with the loss of her powers, So we're gonna get some
Storm centric episodes coming up here in this season. Really good story of you
all read it. I haven't read it in years, but I remember certain
panels of it. But just and I actually want to probably reread it close,
probably get some Marvel Unlimited and reread it because it's been ages. But
yeah, it's her. I'm not sure if it's gonna happen, but she
goes back to Africa as well in that story, so there's some big beats
there. But uh, yeah, I was kind of surprised it happened right
away. I thought if Life Deaf Part one and Part two Part one would
be that and then part two would be the rest. But that's cool,
and I guess that's maybe why we talked about there's that one episode where it's
like half one half another, so maybe that's where just half the episode storm
centric. But yeah, I was just kind of surprised even episode two,
they happen here. It's luckily that season two because they don't want Storm to
be like nerfed the whole season because that would be kind of unfortunate. So
I hope it is at the end of life def two, she gets her
power back or something, because they said it's permanent, but come on,
now, we know it's gonna something's gonna change. But I thought they made
that moment. We'll talk about Magnito, but I think the tying of her
and Magneto and everything there, I thought that moment was really well done,
a genuine gut punch, and I thought they did a fantastic job here.
Yeah, I think for me, the like they had the slam dunk and
what made it home run. This is a weird analogy was when she goes
into her like bedroom at the very end and there's a lightning strike outside and
it like shocks her, and she's not used to not being able to feel
these things around her anymore. And the fact that she's like scared by lightning
and rain is like, that's heartbreaking. So yeah, I think they they
nailed that in do Do Where is that in the season? Those life death
episodes? I'll pull it up, but I feel like it's like five and
or four and yeah, but I seem to remember being like an earlier situation,
and I hope so because I do want her to get her powers back.
But I think this is a fun thing we could deal with for a
few episodes. And yeah, like she leaves, she pieces out at the
end of this, so she's gonna go find her way for a little bit.
But yeah, I thought that that scene that she had with Gene,
all the dialogue there and and whatnot was was really well done. So episode
four and six, yeah and six, Like I said, yeah, that
was a weird two party to split with an episode. So episode four is
the one that is uh Matundo slash Life Deaf Part one, and then episode
six is just fully Life Deaf Part two, so that's gonna be a full
storm episode. And then this next week's episode is fire Made Flesh so that
sounds like a that does sound like or Pyro. He was in the opening
opening cinematic. I think right. There's also another character in the cinematic of
episode two. Did you catch that one? A certain villain, certain phoenix
was popping off in there. Oh god, So I'm just saying fire made
flesh, you know, with the cliffhanger. Definitely, I think that it
could be both, right, could just be fire centric, but it's They
also did show other things. If you noticed in the episode two title card,
they showed when Storm became the leader of like the Underdweller People or whatnot.
So they just showed highlights of the seasons. So if you want,
yeah, whatever they call, what are they again? I hate I don't
like them, so if I removed them from my mind, I was like
in this episode is like, yeah, blow Bleach Leach away as I just
fucking kill him, but maybe it'll save them. But Taylor, how are
you feeling about spout Storm or did you have some add on Leech before?
No? Nothing, each Yeah, Storm Tailor shocked. I was. I
was really shocked that her powers are cappeche So I thought, I honestly thought
that she was actually be like I agree or something. No, I think
there's right here is he? Okay? I think look at Google? So
he doesn't know what google. Kiche, Google, Coppiche. Do you understand
stairs is off limits? Capiche? Oh yeah no, Curriculu, that's like,
what did you what was your sentence? I see that upstairs power?
She lost her powers? Capeche Ye, yes, we do. Like,
no, yeah, you definitely use it. He's like trying to use that
as an argument for his Storm. Your powers are gone Copeche. Yeah,
so her power powers toast. Now I am quite toast a brand that you
put it in there. You. I really thought that she was actually dead,
but just seeing her kind of like limp around on the ground, I
thought, Okay, no, she's not dead, she's just people would have
been suffering serious, so they were like, you can kill Storm. But
if you killed her episode two, oh my god, the show people would
have been headhunting these writers and everything. I will say I did chuckle a
bit when she she was Yeah, she was kind of crawling and she like
fell off the stage and like did a full front flip and like landed back
on the ground, and I was crawling some for us, like, why
did she crawl off this this fucking I don't know stage at the front and
smashed into the ground even harder. It was a weird choice, but I
understand that she was not herself because she's that's the way she's like, I
can't feel the humidity, I can't feel the air and the wind. And
so when she was saying all those things, I thought, man, okay,
I understand now she's she's lost it and could be piche and just the
the like Magnets just was just he was not having it. He true,
But I just love that he uses it as a time to like this inspiration
for my next monologue to pop off. I'm about to give it. Be
like, see what you did to Storm over there. She's a wreck,
she's useless now, Yeah she's copeche because literally, yeah she's no goddess now.
But yeah, Magne is just taking the like doesn't miss a beat.
He looks over he's sad, and then like oh, perfect opportunity, boom.
Yeah. I definitely like the dialogue between Jeane and Storm. I think
there is a lot of really really good stuff there, and I liked how
Storm was able to reaffirm to Gene that this if Nathan is born and mutant,
that's a okay capiche. So I think that that's the right context.
There was some foreshadowing, though she did stay in that same conversation. She's
always wondering what it would be like to be human? And well she got
her answer now you wish for yeah, but well she always well, you
know, she's not standing by those words. She always wondered. Here she
is, she's a human, and she's freaking out. So obviously she she
wondered and she didn't like the answer. You know, she's like a piece
to this. But she's gone now, and obviously we'll see her in a
couple episodes. But yeah, so I mean she's gone. Jean and Scott
are staying behind. Well how's that gonna work? Because Jean said, we're
gonna stay here with you as long as it takes. But now she's gone,
so Jeane might say, okay, Scott, let's go. And even
Magnet they just had another Gene concerned about Gene's witch at this point. Then
baby Jean's like, let's get the funk out of here, was like,
no, we got to figure something. No, no, no, it's
okay, let's go. We don't know her, like she can be on
the team now, it's all, but you have too, Like Magnus keeps
on. I feel like he kept insinuating to Scott, like, well,
you've made your preparations to leave, and then like five minutes there, so
everything's wrapped up. You trust me, Now you're gonna leave now, It's
like, why do you keep pushing this? That's at the beginning of episode
two. At the end they were a bit more chummy because remember psyclopsing that
cough poison dark Harvest, And after that he says it again, like so
you're packing up to leave. I think that's a nice reaffirming and you know
they're they're not. Scott was bluffing. They were never going anywhere, you
know, Like I think Gene wanted to go somewhere, but I don't know.
I wonder why. I wonder why. Yeah, Kirkland, Storm,
Yeah, the I'll start with the storm and Gene talks that that went on.
I really like just that because like Storm has a child, right,
that's that boy from she does yep, yeah, okay, so it's just
like the mother mother to mother talk. I really like that touching moment.
And then yeah, I like how just Storm's position, I guess with like
the whole inclusion of Magnus, because like, I feel like she was kind
of the most open out of everyone to the idea of having Magnus there,
mostly because I think she just trusts Charles so much, like is so much
and someone else more open to it just saying so, oh yeah, I
guess, so we'll get there. So she's in that caliber, I guess
of the trusting. So I did like their dynamic when she got zapped by
the removal of the power gun, the capiche, the no copeche gun.
I I was a little bit worried when when Magnus was just right away like
starting to like take out the humans, I'm like, oh man, we're
just gonna get Magnus back on the evil side like this quickly. I I
was really like worried that was going to just be the turn back to the
Magnus that we really did. Yeah. Yeah, Like I thought he was
going to take them up and fucking murder all those judges like it. It
was. It was not looking good for them. There's part of me that
want him to do it, though, I will say that because I was
like, he's completely justified here. Yeah, just fu Yeah. But it's
like we've we've seen that already, like multiple times. So I was really
impressed actually that he like did not do that, and then he just took
the opportunity to really send the message home on basically Charles cushion, which is
yeah, and like what a beautiful setting. He just like takes them up
there too, to just I guess put them out like in a super uncomfortable
situation, being way up high up in the air, like your life is
literally in this guy's hands, and he's the one that's like saying, you
know, don't make me basically regret this this decision of like wanting to hope
for this pairing of just working together because that's Charles's goal. And uh,
super impressed that Magnus has like been staying true to Charles's goal. I'm just
really really pumped with everything wrapped around Magnus right now. Other than his suit.
I'm really not liking his suit, but I love just the giant him
is like so corny to me, those muscles, So he's showing off those
traps and he's showing off the shoulder blades and everything. Man, you know,
he's not even using the helmets. The hair too, like that's the
good hair hair. He's looking very vampiric because he's pale. His face has
been sunken. He looks like he has a helet on some ship. Yeah.
Yeah, I'm Dylan your shagar head. I don't you're not team X
Men Magna suit. I mean I prefer the O G suit for sure.
I don't. I don't hate it, but I don't love it yet.
It's not a home run, Taylor, where are you in the M suit?
I like the O G suit, to be honest, more so than
this one. Do you like this one more traus? No? But I
still like it's an addition of And because we've seen that for five seasons,
why not change up? And I do like that there's like a because I
think there is something scary if he shows up with that suit with the X
Man where this does almost like signify a change, right, Like his guard
is almost literally down because he's taking off the helmet. That helmet is like
a like as much as he doesn't want to be, it's like a saw
wast to car. The second you see his helmet, you know, fuck,
this guy's gonna Kapeche a bunch of us and kill us and everything,
right, But like that's why I like the helmet off. It feels like
he's letting people and he's letting people see his face. He's not just a
shadowy figure, Like yeah, why does he have his sleeve? Like he's
not sleeveless. He's like elbow shoulderless. But like I don't know, like
arms man, he wants to show them off. I like it. It's
definitely for me to hair. I fucking love anytime we got that white,
I said to Emily, Like when I go gray, that's the next Like
I'm gonna grow my hair out to November, cut it and they'll probably never
grow out like this again until I go gray, and then I'm gonna fucking
grow out the long magnus things like it's just I hope they do that in
live action, goes fast, but I didn't do it, Ian didn't do
it. I hope whoever they get has a nice sick flow and it's just
Adam, Well, we got only a couple more years then we get a
little little gray there. But I uh, I like to look in a
dish. I hope it doesn't look like you know a series. It's not
a good look idea. Not so much. Yeah, not so much.
That's like our final ad break before kirk finished off Slot and will probably transition
into Magnus after this. We're back, Kirkling. I'm sure you have more
on Storm. Yeah, last thing I wanted to say on the Beautiful Goddess
that is Storm sexiest when ten years in a row. Guys, right,
so when she loses or no, sorry, it's after she loses her power,
when Beasts is running the test on them and he's kind of beaten around
the bush. Then eventually it's like give it to me straight, and then
he's like the effects appear to be permanent. And I love the detail that
they had in that moment because it's just like a zoom in shot on Storm
as like Jean's trying to comfort her and it's just like like you hear like
a high pitch ringing and like all the other noise goes out. It's just
like a really nice detail to have and something that was definitely not in it,
like to that level what the the Origin animated show was. Yeah,
that's just it seems like an upgraded you know, like attention to detail in
that sense and just just really lifting that scene. It makes it feel just
like a more mature moment because like she's literally in shock, and they showed
us that through her eyes of the way that it just zooms in. She's,
yeah, just got those shocked eyes and then the high pitch ringing and
that on top of like just various other animation choices that they've had in the
show, it really just feels like it's it's a modern version, and I,
yeah, I just love that. I love seeing those details in animation.
That's you know, that's why I just I love watching animated stuff when
people are able to like really show that detail and just show what they can
do. Yeah, No, it was really really well done. I want
to shut that out. Mangnus. So we got we'll leave the the coupling
told me the end, but Magnus's back and episode one again, I was
glad we got that where I last well estimate you know he's left him oh
yeah, trailer, But it was still such a good he he left everything
to me, my x men. He rips Scott's line off. It's so
great. And then the episode two is all, well, can't we trust
them? Their new emissions. He does like two good things, and he's
like, I've shown I've changed my ways. You know. When he first
shows up, like at the end of the episode, it's like a bad
guy entrance. He's like your mind now, yeah, exactly. He's wearing
black, he's got just like like evil eyes on. And then the very
first opening of episode two is just him like saving people. It's like,
oh, I'm gonna say I guess he's saying it. Yeah, and I
did, like I can't remember if the show uses, but I like that.
Multiple times a human called him terrorist because like that's what he was.
He was a fucking mute and terrorist, even though he was doing things in
his mind for the right reason, because even says in this episode, he
would do things as a an action for a reaction, like the humans would
do something bad and he decide, Okay, I gotta do something back.
Charles's idea was to try and smooth over and figure out how to build a
bridge. His was like kill many people do all this and stuff, right.
I love that, you know, I love my trials. That's from
the comic book x Or Magneto. They put him on trial. We get
a mini one here. I like that all the X Men out than the
Wolverine engineer, like sitting in on this trial, all costume up to you,
like no suits or nothing. They're just ready to go. As we
talked about before. A little bit. The Foh comes back, but there's
a more extream guy, the executioner, and he's just like I said,
saying a bunch of like racist or prejudice things, whatever you want to,
whatever your bag is. But he obviously takes out Storm. Yeah, we
touch upon a bit. I liked that moment where he didn't kill them.
I thought I was mad at this, Like I was justified, but I
was mad. We're a getting this episode two. I'm still fine if they
pull the trigger and he can't fully be good, but I don't really want
that, Like there could be some build up. But I thought all this
stuff was handled perfect, and I really liked the dynamic him and Scott had
Taylor alluded to, but just that back and forth at then this end kind
of trust each other. He has this great line where Scott's talking to him
and he's like, oh, so, after all these years, you finally
have realized one thing, Charles Xavier can make a mistake Because Cyclops was saying
like, oh, you know this, this is maybe a mistake him leaving
things to you. So I'm very curious to see that like the guy that
was left the leadership versus the guy that should be the leader in that dynamic,
and even what Psyclops can learn from Magneto because very different teachings. I'd
imagine as Exavier feels very much like a like a like a Dumble Dwarf versus
Snape or something like that, right where Magneto is definitely a Snape type of
teacher where he can teach you some things, but he's also shady individual.
So I'm curious about all the dynamics and I think they've nailed it so far.
And like I said, I don't really want Magneedo to go back to
Evil. I'm always down to have there a push and pull. But even
episode two, I was like, damn, this is why I love Magneto
Wing's on the X Men because it's always such a wild card. So really
love the execution of all that so far. Yeah, an add on that
you've freaking nailed it a couple couple questions or one thing that I love to
is in that trial scene, I love once again combo tax So I love
that he like used all this metal he made like giant metal swords and then
stabbed them into the ground like a cage and then Storm electrified that to make
it like an electric shock cage, which was just such a fucking sweet combo
between two because I imagine he's Omega level mutant as well. Yeah, like
two Omegas just popping off with each other was great. And then I guess
my other question was he goes into the sewers and he saves the Morlocks,
just freeze them after all this time, and he sends them to Janosho,
which previously was like a slave in camm So, yeah, I don't remember.
Was that, like I don't know, at some point turned into like
a safe haven and we and I forget about it, or is are we
just assuming that that's what it is now? And maybe that's where he's been
sending people that he's been saving. I think the latter I don't remember us
reviewing them, and if they did, then it was some throwaway line because
I don't remember it being like Nosh's a safe place to go now, But
yeah, now and that's what it does eventually, like transform almost as like
a safe haven from mutant So I think that's where it is now, which
I hope that comes. I hope there's one episode of Release Skull there,
you know, when we get some fun cameos, because Genosa is a big
place in the X Men universe, So I hope that was even part of
the deal they're talking about, right, it's like almost giving it, like
making it its own country or something like that with the un because Scott's like,
Wow, to see Genosha recognized by the un that's something like I never
thought i'd see. So they are setting stages I think for Genosha to be
appearing at some point, even if it's next year so or next season,
I should say yeah, because I mean, once again, Magneto shady guy,
there's always gonna be multiple angles what he's doing, you know, whether
he wants to have the control of the X Men, build their trust,
and use them as weapons for whatever his goal is. Yeah, and who
knows what, Like, who knows how many freaking mutants are at Genosha right
now and all this power level and stuff, and maybe he's kind of building
an army on the side, I mean, in the in the back of
his mind. I'm sure he has at least at least has it as a
backup plan things go south with these other organizations and FOH members and all this
kind of thing. So that's kind of an interesting thing in the back of
the head that we're gonna have to keep in mind too, is like,
if he does take a villainous turn, he's gonna have power behind him.
I don't think the X Men would back him up depending on what his goal
is. But the people of Janosho, who seem as their savior, the
people who are living in the sewers for ten years, I'm sure they're glad
to be seeing sunlight once again and be saved in that moment. Apperil Storm
can't save him, so absolutely, maybe we finally get that title credit card
where it's Magneto and the X Men all running each other, right, the
brothers, Even though it's so funny that the new animation looks a little weird
because when they run out of each other, like the last few seconds,
the camera like changes the perspective and the way they're running looks very very odd
to the eye. There was just something weird with it. So how do
we feel like, you guys, can talk more about like the character,
but how do we feel about now every time he's moving stuff with metal,
it's like yellow highlighted. I was curious about that choice. I feel like
happens in the original series like a little bit, but it was really big
here and even shield is kind of like blue tinted. Yeah, so yeah,
it's a little bit different. I don't want to wonder if that's like
to more to match the costume, but it doesn't really match the new costumes.
No yellow and blue with the purple and pink. It didn't really bother
me. I guess I didn't really notice it as much, but it didn't
bother me. It's just like it felt like a Lego game where when you
see the pieces like you have to build and they're like flashing, It's like,
okay, maybe every once in a while, but I don't need yellow
and everything. Again, not a I'm not a doc in the show any
points or anything. So I noticed it and I liked it. I think
it's a little bit just clear on basically everything that he's interacting as opposed to
just havy, Like you know, if the helicopters are raising, it's like,
are they just flying up or that is that Magnus doing that and it's
really just simple And yeah, those helicopters. That scene was sweet as well.
Yeah, yeah, I like that coffee. Yeah. Thoughts of Magnus
to the I'm I'm very happy that we get to see him kind of turning
over this new leaf and trying to stay true to Xavier's word and everyone's just
talking about Xavier. He had a plan and this is just one of his
plans to we got to follow and trust an Xavier's word. But yeah,
at the end of that first episode, he was super shady. I wouldn't
trust him at all. Bad first impression, Bad first impression. He throws
the w to last Will and Testament in Scott's hands. He's flaunting it.
But I will say, for a second, when Scott and Gene we're gonna
make their announcement, and then the signals went off, there was intruder.
I really did think that maybe Scott called Magnus to come here to leave the
x Men at first while they were to leave, very bold, doesn't have
a storm, just calls their number one enemy, Magnus. Well, and
I thought that he would even have his phone number is like a weird thought
no cell phones in this age too, to signal to him or something.
I just figured, like loosely. They debunked that pretty freaking quick. But
I thought at the time that it was it was an option, just because
of how Magnus acted in that finale with Charles and his overall response and how
he stopped going with the the mutant rebellion in that season five finale and all
that kind of stuff. But I digress. So overall, I think his
character was it was he was great. I love seeing him kind of turn
a new leaf. In that second episode him bringing the judges up to space.
I thought he was gonna kill him. But that certainly makes a statement
when you just have them look at it and they're just they're there. But
I wonder what happened to the executioner guy that prison time. I think is
he that was the whole thing that at first like, oh, they're here
for the mutes, and then he's like they're like no, they're gonna kill
the judges too, And then you know, was like, well, see
that's what happens when you give us a fair trial. So the judge was
gonna, fully, I think, just execute those judges sorry. The execution
was just gonna kill those human judg as well. So he's doing prisons on
the time. You don't think magne Ito just like stop magnetizing him and dropped
him from No, I would defeat the purpose. He makes this whole speech
then still kills the executioner in front of all of them, that one guy.
Yeah, they all agree in space like yeah, but yeah you can
kill this guy you like killed And that's what I was worried to, like,
not that he'd be asroid m but when he like took a piece of
the ground just went up to space, I was like, what the fuck
is he about to do right now? It's like he's about to throw this
into this like the earth, and it was like, I'll cover the whole
time. But luckily not. He turned new even cried, you know,
he did cry. He's talking as he's going up, like what you did?
You made store empathetic. She's weak now, yeah because of you guys.
But yeah, no, just like manything is the show. They nailed
Magneedle, my nails my favorite Marbleville. So just like it's great to begin
this content of him, and he's such an interesting character and he's very interesting
because not only are they making interesting as far as always he's turning a new
leaf the next men. All these situations, right, we get some sort
of dynamic going on here where this is where I brought up because on my
second watch I caught this. When they're talking about Magnus, Rogue's the first
one to say, oh, maybe we should give Eric a chance. She
calls him Eric, by the way, doesn't call like, so I don't
know where because oh, right, it's Eric Magnus, right, it's not
Eric Lencher. Is that what it is? Or Magnus Lencher or do we
ever get his full name? Because I thought he wasn't Eric. I thought,
yeah, but then you're right, Yeah, Eric is the thing too,
and that's his name that comes and Rogue called him Eric, so I
don't know where the name is. So it just feels like she's on a
different level with him already. And then so they have a little meeting they're
talking about, you know, they're both bad guys who're just done about,
like, oh could you be trusted? There's this great shot. Rogue is
holding the helmet and they need a walks into frame and it's like his reflection
off the helmet talking about how he's gonna change and stuff. So that's great,
and then there's this you know, Magnos is like, oh, what
if they ever found out about us? And she says like, oh,
that's a cat that needs to be left in the bag. Very kind of
essential scene where it sounds funny, but like he puts his thumb into her
glove and like starts to pull down very much like a bra shrap or something,
and she like pulls away and okay, whatever. So we're in saying
what's going on here? And then in the last and we have talked about
this rodent gambit. We never know what the deals with them, but at
least in episode one they're together. They go to dance club, they're holding
hands, so I feel like they're in the stage of like they're at least
seeing each other. Let's slow down. They're not together. I think there's
some flirting going on, but we're do this. Will they work? Like
get you can't declaratively say they're together. I guess I would declare definitely like
penetration or something. What there's definitely a penetration gambit would be dead gambit.
You are busy talking aboutic reround, get out of here, don't be killing.
Don't be killing Gammon's dick off. No kobes for you. I don't
okay. I will say this is the most together they've probably been this series
in quite a while, because they were home hands. He said they were
gonna dance there together quite a bit. She's touching his abs during the basketball
scene, like I don't know, they're whatever, and especially the way the
end Gambut reacts. I'm not saying they are a boyfriend and girlfriend, like,
but I feel like they're on the way. Finally, here we go.
And what happens is at the end, Rogue goes into his room after
it's been a good you know, hooray, everything going on, uh,
and then she takes off her glove, touches Lencher, Magnus, Eric,
whatever you want to call him. I don't know how long she's in there,
walks out of the room, Gambit holding the Queen of Hearts. Of
course drops the card, realizing, oh what's going on. Rogue was in
that room. He's feeling a little betrayed. This was the thing I love
probably the most about the show, second to the magneto, like will he
won't any dynamic because I always loved that, but this was taught fire shit.
This is the stuff Dylan we loved in like the Spider Man show when
they would do that with Felicia, MJ and Peter, like, this was
all great, and this was something I never ever thought they were gonna do.
They've been together about four times, one time an Age of Apocalypse,
which was like a different multi verse, the same way with like they showed
the show where Storm and Wolverine were married. In the Age of Apocalypse,
a Rogan Magnia were married and had a son named Charles. So they have
been together canonically a few times. It's a very reckless ship because obviously got
the Gambut rogue shippers at Hayden stuff. But I did not think at all.
I was surprised how even when she looks at the dance floor and she
sees people grinding and kissing. I was surprised how Gambuts of course toned down
a little, but just in general the flirting kissing stuff going on, I
thought that'd be completely taking out of the show. Them doing this dynamic.
Oh my god, this is so good, especially maybe to turn in and
leave this. I cannot wait to break this down weekly and maybe this is
gonna be time where Gamp will finally wanna set the flag in the moon and
say she's mine. But to that point, Magneil's powers are immune because it's
some bullshit has to do like magnets and electricity that her touching him doesn't do
anything, so he is immune to her power. So that's how they procreate
a baby. Maybe, like Taya said, there was some penetration, but
yeah, so she that's the one person she can't touch is Magnus. So
lots going on, you know. Do you ever maybe I can't remember highlighted
this in the past, do you ever wonder why they don't slap one of
those power collars on her and then they just have a whole fucking forty eight
hour session. The power colors more to me just putting this on. We
see it in this in these two episodes of Power Callers. They're pretty uh
pretty how it becomes all situation. You know, I agree with you.
I don't know, I never didn't think about that, but that seems like
a rock solid plan. I'm sure they could manufacture one of those beasts,
could definitely make one of those in his lab. Yeah, but they already
got them right, Hey beasts, can you uh can you make us one
of those colors? He just looks at them, knowing exactly why, my
good chap. No, At first, he'd have no fucking clue, you
know, like, oh, he would say, call Mark Twain first to
touch one another does not mean to love one another. And then he'd go
on about we just want to fuck. Best make us to call it all
right? But yeah, I guess that's a possibility. I don't know that's
true. Maybe there's some risks, Maybe there's something I don't know, Maybe
there's something of like only risk is magneto just like like taking the collar off,
like taking gambit out. I don't know. Maybe it doesn't affect like
the human organs and stuff, so maybe like that sort of deal wouldn't be
like a rogue's power is like very skin deep. So I just don't know.
Maybe it's that's a twist. It's just a plot, just a plot
hole, I think. Yeah, a plot twist, plot twist. Yeah,
capiche capiche. Uh yeah, no, I was. I was shocked.
My jaw was on the floor when they were first just kind of close,
like in his office because I don't know, like when she says like
we can trust him, like like that's just I feel like Roe can say
that about literally anyone. But until like yeah he was like taking off her
glove, I felt like I like took like a double take. I'm like,
wait a minute, is this actually happening? And then of course what
happens later on in the episode there they're full on skin contact and oh you
haven't you haven't told them about us? Say, It's like like just that
sort of dynamic. This is a pairing I never ever would have guessed would
have been a thing. So very very intrigued going forward. And yeah,
I mean like you guys kind of already touched upon it. But like just
in these first two episodes to have like four or five like just plots going
on, they're like really interesting. Uh. It has me very very hopeful
going forward and even just past this season into the next. Like I'm hoping
we get a lot of juice, like you're saying earlier, Travis, all
in all in the corners and all the different nooks. I want the juice
everywhere. Crackers, he loves crackers and juice everyone loves. Yeah, I
mean I I love it. You guys have kind of said it also.
I agree, love it. Can't we see more? Taylor? I mean
I really spout it out my thoughts penetration And how about the caller, you
know, I well, yeah, I've just blown away. As they were
getting close in that one scene, was like, don't bother me, rogue,
don't come in here, And I thought, Okay, this is kind
of peculiar. Why she's doing this one on one with with her or with
him? And then when she like keeps the gloves on, he's trying to
pull those gloves off, get all sensual. And then yeah, that next
thing when she pulls the gloves off and like a holeaf, I can't believe
this. It just blew my mind. I didn't know that was the thing
in the comics. I didn't know that was the thing really at all.
Ever, So just to see that, and man, I was feeling for
gambit. She walked out of that room and Gambits just standing there. Yeah,
he's just I can only imagine what's going through his mind. Oh yeah,
and he doesn't he didn't know where does he know what really happened in
that room? He wasn't in there. No, I mean he doesn't.
He probably would think that, Like I guess he probably just thinks they're vibing
on a personal connection because I don't think he knows that she can like touch
him and everything like that. But he is mad because later on you see
a scene where Mangnus speaks and Gambut like shoots him a look. It's at
the last scene with Gene and the reveal and stuff, and Rogue looks at
Gamba. Actually, Rogue looks at Gambit early on because he's cross art and
does not want anything to do with Magnus. She already sensed stuff going on.
And this is what I'm curious about, because the baby stuff, Like
I know where that's going. This I don't know because there's like I don't
think we're gonna get Rogue and Magnus having a baby together and getting married and
name it Charles. But like I don't know. And that's why I'm so
curious to see what they do. Here does Magnus And that's why I wonder
if Magnus does do like a bad like, how do they break up?
Because that to me would be the classic form of he does some more bad
guys shit, And he's not a change leaf and she realizes Gambut is the
better guy, or does she just realize is that on herself? I am
super down for even though poor Gambit I think would lose that fight, but
I'm super down for like a toe to toe Gambit versus Magneto situation. So
that's like, I'm I don't know what this is gonna go. I have
no idea how they're gonna resolve this, in which route they're gonna go.
Maybe Rogan Magneedle will just be together in a night. I'm I don't know.
I'd like to see him trick Gambit be like, you know, you
want another reason why I can touch Rogue this helmet. You put this helmet
on, then you can you can touch rog and so it gives the helmet
to Gambit. I'm just walking, I can touch you down. Rogue just
walks into the staff room, I get touch you wearing the helmet and lyn
sup occasion, Gambit goes up to more if he's like, hey, more
proposal for it me? Do you guys have any predictions where this might go?
Like how's it gonna resolve? Like, are we actually gonna get them
two as like a full on cup or you think it's just gonna be some
Well they won't. There love triangle for a bit because and I do actually
appreciate it. You know, this seems like it should be the triangle of
the season since the Gene and Cyclops Wolverine stuff. Yeah, that's what I'm
gonna say. I mean, yeah, Wolverine can still desperately want to be
with Gene, but it's not really it's not a true triangle in that sense
anymore. So this is the fun thing you can do back and forth.
So I hope hopefully they toy with this one a lot throughout the season,
and we don't really get anything declarative, if at all, until until the
end. But I think, just I really want to see this Magneto relationship.
I want to see that. We've seen Gambit. In my opinion,
he's a mistreated a few times. I don't want her to go back to
this fucking guy. He's a he's a piece of work, so he can
he can stay in the kitchen and make these fijidos wherever he was doing,
and she can go off and Magneto. But this is the moment where he
grows up, right, if you realize I gotta be a man. I
gotta be better, right, Yeah, well sometimes you sometimes you lose the
girl because you didn't grow quick enough, and he can go on and make
some new connections with Silok or something. Plus why did they break up Magneto
and Rogue? Right, We're gonna have to get into that sort of scenario
too, right. Yeah. I don't know if you think they were together
together into relationships sense, so that they were maybe just hooking up or something.
I just feel like in this show, which still somewhat kid based,
when Magni was like, oh do they know about us? I don't think
they would just be insinuating them banging like I think they insinuate them being together
together. So I do think there was at least like a they were known
as an item, even if it's just seeing each other. People knew like,
oh, there's Rogue Mento, And I'm sure the answer is just he
became a genocidal maniac for bidding shit to leave him, like I'm sure to
do that, But you know, maybe there's something more to it. I
don't know. Yeah, do you guys think that this is kind of set
up as something that happened in the year Off will say or has it been
something that maybe was happening prior but we just never really discussed. Charles set
them up. It's like I got a great, great friend for you,
rogue to my will. No, I think it's when she was pounding around
with bad guys like my stique and everything like that, way back soon.
Yeah, I assume back then when they are both on the darker side,
and that's why it was kind of fine, so which I would love to
now, not that I'm going to recently or right now because we just watched
recently, but now knowing this, I'm excited to watch the show again and
just see when she talks about like any connection or touch she's had, because
I think she always talked about like I haven't touched someone since high school or
something. So I guess maybe there's a chance that maybe there was in the
year off here because she always in the same way. It's that boyfriend,
right, like the last time I touched a boy went to a coma,
and like unless may you know went to he didn't go into a coma,
So maybe there's something, But that's a lot to happen in a year,
right, I don't think the show back in the day was of course,
yeah, you know, but you still as the writers of the season.
Yeah, I think. I don't think if you go back, I don't
think you'd find evidence of that in there. No, but that's where if
I if I here's my thing though, if I found stuff that contradicted,
I wouldn't like that because that says the writer's job of this show is to
watch those seasons be like, Okay, we can't make her date anybody because
she said I haven't touched the boy since high school. You know. I
guess she could be lying because it's Magneto and she doesn't want to get called.
But I also don't think we'll ever go back, Like, I don't
think that we're gonna get flashbacks of this relationship. Oh I hope so,
man, that'd be great. Captain Marvel's there. It's really awkward. Maybe
there's Yeah, curious any predictions where this's going. Who's getting the girl?
What's happening just the girl? Fuck? It could go that way. No
one gets the girl. I really am just I have no idea. I'm
so intrigued on what's going to happen in terms of kind of where this spark
developed. I like the idea that it actually happened in her bad guy days,
and I do like the idea that it's like somewhat of a shame of
hers like in her past, Like maybe that's why she says, like the
last time I touched someone would have been like that high school boyfriend. Because
up until this point, Magneto has been their their number one opponent, right,
So no matter what happens going forward, I think this is just really
really intriguing and exciting and definitely not a plot I ever would have expected.
So yeah, it's it's fun to be in the dark. Anything else on
the show Before we give our thumbs a couple of things. But first of
all, I went on the Marvel wiki here to find out what the hell
this guy's name is. Apparently his actual name is Max Eisenheart for Magneto,
but here are his aliases, and he's got quite a few, so it's
gonna be just saying his birth name was Max Eisenheart. That's his official name,
apparently, But here's here's a alias. Is Auschwitz is the first one,
That's what? And then we got way too close. There's a lot,
there's a lot of we got the creator, we have Eric Lenscher.
We have Eric Magnus Lencher, Eric the Red, the Gray King, King,
Eric Magnus the Leader, Magnus mast Master of Magnetism, Merciless Magneto,
Michael Xaviers, Magneto, mister Sullivan, Phantom Sabatur which I love that one,
White King, and White Pilgrim. So these are all the names he
had over the years, and he's going at So I guess Eric, Eric
Maganus or Eric Magnus Lyncher are all accurate. They're all they were all accurate
in some colo Michael Xavier, Yes, that's what she used to call me.
I'm the Pilgrim King now, mister Sullivan. I guess it does track
from Agneto who does this terrorist activity to like probably go and get a new
air like alias. But uh, all right, I'm down for Eric Magnus
Lynch. That's what I'm going next. I gotta got a pet name.
Magnus. That's just such a like a Magnus, you know what a name.
That's a good one. I'm glad glad you looked it up. Yeah.
A couple other things. One quote that I needed to mention is when
Wolverine and Jean and all that they go to the hospital to have the baby
and the doctor's not not having it. He's like, we might have to
do a city section, and then Wolverine's like, I'll show you was I
just thought it was one of the best classic Wolverine sort of lines. And
then my last no, here's not really much but no, but just like
I feel like if any character here didn't really get any thing, it was
really Beast. Like he had like one kind of fight scene against the Sentinel
that was a cool moment, and then he was kind of like in the
lab a lot, but I didn't really get much. So I'm sure he'll
get his due time, and I hope, I hope we get it.
But also in the way that these like first two episodes seem like they okay,
they released to it. At the same time, it seems like maybe
they're trying to say, like here's setting up all the big storylines of the
season. It doesn't seem like Beast really has anything to do with any of
them other than I guess maybe the storm one helping her get her powers back,
but I didn't she left when Yeah, when he's like this is permanent,
that kind of seems like maybe the end of that storyline that he'd already
run the science and he maybe couldn't figure it out. So yeah, I
don't know what's in store for Beast, but I hope it's something because we've
talked about how he's had an updown road with the series, and for the
first season he was stuck in jailed all the time, so he didn't get
us there and eventually he came around and became one of my favorites. So
yeah, I hope we get more of him and more fun quotes and stuff,
but he didn't didn't get in a ton in these first two ups.
And I feel like while Morph was gone, Beasts and Wolverine had kind of
like a budding relationship right, not to the same extent that they, like
say Tooth or Beast was wrestling with him, but they felt like they had
somewhat of a connection. So now that Morph is back, I feel like
Morph has taken on that role as Wolverine's go to confidence. So I agree
with you because yeah, it was that moment Sunspot woke up. But that's
where I worry because I think, like Bishop will have time travel stuff morph,
if Phil is gonna get PTSD at the sinister stuff. Jeane and Scott
got their stuff storms. Bishop could be a good pairing and good buddies there
and close friends. I feel like we're gonna lose Bishop. I feel like,
because like we said with time travel stuff, I feel like we're gonna
lose him to a mission and he'd be like, I'll report back, like
I he's in the title cards, so I don't know, but I just
feel like we may lose him. But maybe, yeah, maybe they could
help each other on some science stuff, so it it'd be good because yeah,
Bishop definitely needs some more shine as well. So that because I appreciate
that you got Bishop morph and Sunspot is like official members, but that's now
three more characters, so you do have to either have more time dedicated or
you have to lose some you know, and it would feel weird to lose.
And we did say, remember if anyone was gonna die as Bees,
So maybe that's just the trigger that gets pulled soon. It's just Beasts is
like biting in the next episode or two, and that's how they're like,
oh, well, we don't got to worry about Bees because he's a dead
man, you know, I hope not. Yeah, thumbs sometime sometime,
if you don't know, when we do these episodes Spider Man, Clone Wars,
X Men, retro stuff like that, we do just the thumb system
because sometimes they are hard, right, twenty two minut episodes. These are
a bit longer than the original show. But mister Field, what are you
giving this out of the thumbs? I'm giving it two of these bad boys,
these perky yeah fingers going right out. We saw about those perky fingers
and is that for both episodes? That's for both. I love both of
these. They were great. There's so much, so much look forward to
with the show. I can't wait. Yep, Nope, I'm the same
two thumbs for both. I mean the first one was nostalgia. I just
felt like, Okay, I'm in good hands, please just have I'm not
saying every episode has to be amazing, but if every episode can keep this
similar type of quality, I'm gonna be very happy. And like I said,
I hope if Ig and the team are looking at their response. This
is the best reviewed Marvel Studios project ever. Yes, I think there's a
lot of nostalgia to that, but still I'm hoping they see the positive and
go Okay, let's do this for me, Taylor, Like, we're not
nostalgic for the show, really, right, Yeah exactly. I mean we
watched the series recently, so we are familiar. But I think that's a
good showing that it's not not just nostalgia least, but four thumbs up,
two thumbs for each episode given the jubilee fire works. Yeah, off to
great start, let's keep it going. Yeah, agreed, two thumbs for
me on both episodes way up, which I did not do that a ton
in that original series. So uh, I think it just goes to show
how strong these two episodes were. I will insert four thumbs of my own
as well. The perfect the perfect eight for a perfect date with the I
don't know if we even had that in the original restro. Maybe there was
like a one or two episodes, but I feel like it was rare for
well, yeah, I guess we never had a perfect eight because we never
had right to of course. Yeah, but even just it was, I
felt, and it wasn't a super common thing for everybody to get the tooth
thumbs up. There's always one per second. I didn't like this aspect of
it for something. Yeah, exactly, but great start. I'm super excited
now every week that now we know Wednesday fire this up, we're gonna be
talking about it. And good thing they introduced like don to the beginning,
not just a couple of storylines, like three to four five storylines, was
like okay, where we go and what we do and uh yeah, we
will be back next week. Make sure you catch up, subscribe all I
get jazz and it will not be boring.
