Also Invincible started up again recently if anyone cares And a bit more info on why the X-Men showrunner was fired: https://twitter.com/cosmic_marvel/status/1768593425866125706 Larryb fucked around with this message at 17:14 on Mar 15, 2024 |

Like, posing naked in front of a camera I don't have an issue with, posing naked in front of a camera except for an SS cap, yeah, go ahead and fire them. (I'm not saying he did that, I have no idea what was on his only fans, I was just thinking of "well I don't think you should be fired for doing porn as a side gig, except for certain types of porn")

No the link goes to an unrelated article for me too. As for Beau, he was apparently also fired from Witcher in the past for strange story choices, physical and emotional abuse, and sharing pictures of his dick on OnlyFans so maybe something similar happened here Larryb fucked around with this message at 18:40 on Mar 15, 2024 |

The Rogue episode of 90s X-Men is kind of awkward because the Rogue/Mystique backstory doesn't come off as very Mother/Daughter when Rogue just looks the same age the entire time. Also the episode just kind of glosses over how Carol is completely justified in her anger and nobody even tries to fix her situation.

I feel like that's been a problem that classic comics had for a while where they didn't really seem to be drawing young people to look young even though older comics often were more patronizing to the designated young characters. I've heard that Rogue in the comics had the extra complication of originally being intended to be a much older character, which was why she had Reed Richards hair. In the comics, Carol Danvers wasn't left comatose by Rogue stealing her powers, and she was more angry about the Avengers allowing her to be extradimensionally mind-raped. She hung out with the X-Men for a while until she got angry about them giving Rogue a separate chance and ran off to have Binary space adventures. That also made the latent Carol Danvers persona inside of Rogue more problematic, because the physically real Carol Danvers was still around and fine, but Rogue's Carol Danvers would still be trying to get out and sporadically taking over Rogue's body. I guess there was no comic storyline of Rogue and Carol Danvers reconciling to draw off of, and the show didn't really want to dig into non-mutant superheroes, so implying Carol Danvers was getting better and leaving it at that might've been for the best.

There's like at least five storylines that involve Rogue and Carol Danvers reconciliation, but there might not have been one when the cartoon was airing.

Odd that they’re doing an episode in the middle of a two parter though (unless the 90’s show did the same, I forget)

Laughed really hard at the start of part 4 of the Phoenix Saga and how it opens with Black Tom just loving hoofing it away from all this space bullshit.

I feel like there was a lot of pent up frustration getting released in X-Men 97 in terms of making Cyclops and Storm (and Magneto, but he didn't need as much help) look really loving cool with how they used their powers It's probably not absolute top shelf TV animation quality, but I would say it's the best a Marvel show has looked. Spectacular Spider-Man gets a higher score for consistency but X-Men 97 has more "oh poo poo" moments As far as the writing, it's the old show but better. Not SEISMICALLY better, I don't know if it's going to be competing with the DCAU or Avengers EMH or anything, but it was good enough to be a hoot for me. The voice actors do sound their age in a lot of cases, but they don't quite sound bad enough to make me pound my fists on the table and demand a re-casting. The Sunbow connection almost makes me wonder what this same crew would do with GI Joe or Transformers. Roberto wearing a brand X version of the jacket from Drive is perfect
