I did like the nice touch that the intro changed for both eps. And will probably be updated again for the third ep.Adrianics posted:there were a few twists that I didn't see coming at all (god damned STORM of all characters getting depowered was intense and really set the stakes)  notthegoatseguy posted:X-Men 97: So uh Did Rogue and Magneto have a relationship in the original show that I forgot about??? I don't think so.

I was kinda surprised that they went there in that scene given that about thirty seconds earlier Magneto implied he and Charles were exes. Not in the sense that I'm surprised he's bi, more in the sense that there was a lot of information being dropped about the character at once.

Meanwhile, I'm finally going in on Runaways. Apart from AoS (which has so many episodes I'm putting it off watching the rest until I have time to really get into it), this is the last MCU thing I haven't seen. Two episodes deep and... it's alright. Defiantly average, but I'm interested to see where it goes. I actually read the first couple of arcs from the comics, so I am (or was) familiar with what the story started out as.

My main worry about X-Men 97 (spoiling speculation I guess) is that it will start to tie directly into the MCU/Secret Wars stuff as it goes on rather than staying standalone. There's references to Stark Industries, Avengers Tower and The Daily Bugle in the first couple of episodes which isn't getting my hopes up...

I'm worried about that too, but those aspects are probably more setting up cameos from characters like 90's animated spider-man

If, however, this is leading towards Christopher Daniel Barnes back as Spider-Man I will probably cry end of Shawshank Redemption style tears.

I really really like how the first two episodes establish “X-Men 97 is about 2024”. Blatantly in the second episode. I also like that some characters speak almost exclusively in monologue. It’s very comic booky without having to break down frames and panels.

I remember really liking the x men cartoon when it came out, but does anyone remember the one they made afterwards in the early 00s? I seem to remember like it was more a conventional high school? Nightcrawler wore some kind of device to make him look like a regular dude?? Does this mean anything to anyone????? Anyway that was my poo poo

That's X-Men for you, especially 90s X-Men. The formula used to be that they'd do 4-6 issues where they fought Mister Sinister, the Brood or just a bunch of ninjas, then have one issue where everyone just kind of sat around the mansion and was horny and/or sad. Then in the bottom of the last panel there'd be a splash graphic that would say "Next issue: Omega Red punches Colossus in the butthole!" or something

I love that Roberto was in that first episode, that's what I wanted to see the most from this, having more Mutants appear, even if it was for one episode. Did the intro always have Emma and Deathstrike in it?

Cyclops pushing himself around and landing from a great height with his lasers was fuckin sick. The whole first episode felt like bashing action figures together in the back yard and i am here for it.
