TwoPair posted:Now in retrospect I wonder how Tony got to the situation room if Magneto sent the world back to the dark ages. I guess something something transistors/arc reactors/etc. It would be funny imagining Cap having to wheel him in on a hand truck or something while Tony occasionally raises an arm and yells about how it's heavy as poo poo in there. If the rest of the 90s Marvel shows are retroactively in canon with X-Men now, then Stark has a bio-energy reactor developed for use against the Mandarin's anti-technology spell from the final episode of his own series in 1996 that would probably also work during Magneto's global EMP.

TurnipFritter posted:Do y'all suppose hit disaster movie Armageddon still comes out in 1998 in the X-Men 97 world, or do you think it gets shelved by the studio after... all that. Maybe not in 98, but I think it definitely still comes out, since the government's first attempt at stopping an asteroid hurtling to Earth failed dramatically...

Rubber Chicken posted:Was Firestar from Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends a mutant? I don't think I've ever seen her anyplace else Yes, although she was basically created for the show as kind of a workaround for not using Johnny Storm, while also getting a female character with some agency on the show. She's basically "what if Mary-Jane was the Human Torch" in that show, and the comics diverged from that almost instantly

FlamingLiberal posted:I do hope we get to see more X-Men characters that didn't show up much at all in the original series in Season 2. The core group is great but it would be nice for them to add new mutants in, like how Nightcrawler slowly got added to the team Most of what I know about X-Men is from the 90s cartoon and the movies and I am sitting here pounding my fists on the table demanding we get Colossus as part of the core group And can someone put Gambit in an X-Men movie and not make him extremely corny? Or is that impossible and he can only come alive as a cartoon

He was also using his momentum to do it, so that's not as egregious as you might've though. MCU cap jumps out of a plane without a parachute multiple times, cmon

I still think Channing Tatum would have done a good job if they let him. He can do fight scenes, he can be funny, he can be a convincing romantic lead, those seem like the boxes you gotta check.

Soul Glo posted:MCU cap jumps out of a plane without a parachute multiple times, cmon Not to mention that holding a commercial passenger helicopter down is blatantly beyond human capacity. And in The First Avenger, Bucky picks up the shield and gets rocked far harder than Cap does tanking the same explosive rounds from the Nazi they're fighting in the train, for another clear example. They've given more than enough indication that movie Cap is obviously superhuman.

Silk: Spider Society cancelledquote:Since then, Silk, whose green light was script-dependent, has gone through at least three versions, I hear. One of them involved a request for Kang and her writing team to reconfigure the show so it is not hanging so heavily on the central character of Silk, I hear. How do we create a TV series about Cindy Moon, and then not have her in the show as much as possible? Those swinging sequences are expensive!  Glad it's dead. Sony really can't be trusted with live-action Spider-man characters (I'm even hesitant of Noir, even if it'll be hilarious regardless just for unhinged Cage)

I feel like someone could have at least said " reversing the EMP will bring the UN backed, Govt approved *mutant hunting murder bots* back online". I get that Magnus is an extremist and a Bad Guy (TM) but he did not do it for shits and giggles

He said the other team needed more time. There wasn't more time though. Magneto had just been stabbed, potentially fatally, and if he died that was the end of Earth since the magnetic field around Earth had been toasted.

I always liked Gambit on this team because I felt like he was an underdog punching above his weight for being on a team with Jean Grey, Storm, Rogue, and sometimes Nightcrawler. abravemoose fucked around with this message at 23:00 on May 17, 2024 |

Gambit is an omega level mutant who uses his powers to shoot exploding playing cards at people because he's a bayou hick that has neither the training nor the desire to explore his powers fully.

This came up with Bobby Drake a few times where he'd basically been keeping himself back from becoming a proper omega level mutant by being a clown and not applying himself Setup - Emma Frost basically turned his powers up to 11 a few issues back when she controlled him   Uncanny X-Men (1963) - Issue 318

Yeah the version of him that was running on all cylinders just turned around and murdered the Phoenix. But when you get to that point the only person you can fight is alternate versions of yourself.

They can't all be omega-level mutants. Isn't the reality that most mutants in whichever universe just mostly look weird, but have no actual powers?
