I haven't read that in decades but I feel like there was a whole issue with multiple floors and still visible furniture. All Trixie Slaughteraxe looking.

Jimbone Tallshanks posted:I'm guessing you're not that familiar with the 80's comics. No not really, I guess I assumed that if Storm had an iconic story where she lost her powers I would have heard about but I guess not. I'm so used to my favorite characters getting sidelined in stuff because they're OP or the sacrificial minority or whatever. Knee jerk reaction. I was kinda poor when I got into comics in the early 90s so I didn't really start reading until New X-Men (  ) everything else is secondhand tertiary knowledge from magazines or trading cards or poo poo like that. Having 1 or 2 random issues from different years didn't help me keep up with plot lines.

You may still have seen subsequent stories where Storm is dressed in leather and carries a knife? That's from the story it looks like they're doing here. The quirk of the X-Men cartoon was it used the aethetics and line up of the Jim Lee run but largely pulled from much earlier Claremont-era stories.

Yeah don't worry about Storm losing her powers. That just means she's gonna knife you instead.

On the flip side, that sequence of her in the desert in episode 1 is maybe the first time she's been portrayed on the level she is in the comics, on screen. The score, the imagery, the implication that the other 7 basically didn't really need to even be there.

Cyclops decided to risk all their lives and a whole plane when Storm could have just headed over. Keep everyone on their toes. That's what a leader does.

Drawing so much of this reboot from such a relatively obscure period of X-Men stories is an interesting choice, and a good one I think. It means that they get to showcase plots that are largely unknown to most audiences -- the trial of Magneto, Lifedeath, Madelyne Pryor -- instead of the ones that have been adapted two or three times by now in whatever format.

Considering how long X-Men has been around for multimedia stuff it hasn't really been mined in any wide sense for story content to any great extent. We've seen a few takes on Dark Phoenix, a few on Days of Future Past, and a few (mostly in cartoons) on different vectors of Genosha.

Yeah, it'd be fun to see a cartoon of the Utopia era, or Schism, or Remender's Uncanny X-Force,or New Mutants (they did introduce Bobby Decosta, maybe a spin off?)

Are they going to adapt stuff done since the '90s? There should probably be enough material to keep the show pre-Willennium.

It helps that the original show already did play a lot of those hits. Since 97 is a sequel it kind of necessitates them to use more stuff

I know it riffed on the Dark Phoenix saga and I'm guessing they did a Days of Future Past too but what else did the original run adapt? Did they do the Mutant Massacre (I'm guessing not), the Brood, the M'kraan Crystal (the Phoenix never gets enough respect for literally holding the universe/reality together in the face of imminent collapse imo), Apocalypse attacking New York, Cyclops vs the X-Men? Also I love the idea of newbies being amazed at a Jean clone and knowing absolutely nothing about Maddie, Cable, etc. Oh boy are they in for a wild ride, even in this stripped down version.

I fully believe that 99% of the people watching this have no idea what Inferno is whatsoever Or more probably in the cartoon itself they don't know, which is fine. Like all they're running off of is '92.

Yeah, when Cable was introduced in the cartoon no one at Marvel knew his back story because it hadn't been invented yet.

I wonder how boobariffic Maddy's Goblin Queen costume is going to be. Probably not as sexy as Gambit's tank top. Yea, that was a weird aspect of the original series, where they had a Jim Lee line up but adapting Claremont stories. I expect to see that again, though I feel like they might have more freedom with having new characters out there. I'd love to see New Mutants be formed in the show.

I guess people already knew this was happening because there is a Goblin Queen toy that you could order. I'm glad I didn't see that before the episode. So you can see what her costume is gonna be.

Yeah for a long time I was under the impression that Cable was Scott and Jean's kid and had never heard of Madeline Pryor. I think I'm just now finding out that she had powers and was also the Goblin Queen, who I only recognize from those villain spreads. I think I always thought she was Jean Grey as Black Queen of the Hell Fire Club.

X-cutioner's Song was where the whole thing was written plain after a few months of teasing. That vent started a month before the show did. Maybe when they started production on the Genosha episode they were keeping who Cable was under wraps?

Cable shows up the first time in episode 7. Animation production times would have put that well before the comic. He's just a merc in his first appearances. In the second season he's now a time traveler with a cybernetic arm and the change isn't addressed.

Man Cable was an exciting time for young Medullah. All the rumors of who he was and what he was doing there. No internet to discuss so you'd sit in the comic shop eyeing that New Mutants 87 and talking with people there what they'd heard. I don't know how the rumor started that he was future Scott's kid but it was well before it was officially revealed. And then there's Ultimate Cable who's future Wolverine
