I mean the dominant family sitcom of the 90s was The Simpsons, so I assume they didn't want to make an episode where everything looks like absolute poo poo like The Simpsons does now.

Phylodox posted:Am I the only one who thinks Karli is going rogue because the supposedly "perfected" super-soldier serum is making her erratic? Like maybe it's not as "perfected" as advertised? If Walker's on the same serum, that's probably going to be his arc, too. I think the two characters are definitely supposed to parallel each other. Both have adopted an identity as the literal representative of an ideology, which is tough for anyone. They're also both very focused on their ultimate goal and willing to do whatever they need to get it, too.

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

Bishop losing his magnificent haircut is too bad, but if he doesn't get some dude playing harmonica whenever he delivers a dramatic line, the show runners have hosed up.

Sometimes they would also just say that he had done a thing that had the word magnet in it. His mind is magnetically shielded. His followers can't turn away from him because he has a magnetic personality.

I didn't realize this as a kid but Mystique framing Gambit for murder in the original animated series was just her way of trying to keep him from banging her daughter.

He's like Apocalypse, where his powers aren't really defined. He can just kind of do whatever the plot wants him to.

I'm surprised we haven't seen more companies cash in on the resurrection of the beat-em-up. Streets of Rage 4 and Shredder's Revenge both made good money so the audience is there. Just because Konami's not making games anymore doesn't mean there's not other talented studios you could give a fairly small stack of cash to and get a decent ROI. Make a game, just call it X-Men '97, give it a digital-only release and sell it for $30. People would be all over it.

The series like to do that sometimes with background characters who were recognizable, but they never really spoke. Another background mutant they use 3-4 times is Random. Oh man, I haven't thought about Random in like 30 years.

Teek posted:Correct me if I'm wrong, but my memory of comic Cable wasn't that he returned multiple times to change history. He was always body-sliding back, but wasn't it mainly just going back to the same core 616 timeline to fight against Apocalypse's rise? Cable from the original show was generally going back in time to stop someone else loving with time. Kind of like Kyle Reese, but without having to bang anybody. Sometimes he was trying to fight Apocalypse but there was one two-parter where it brought him into conflict with Bishop.

I'm going to guess that Sinister is involved somehow, I remember reading interviews that talked him and his role in the series up, and we've only seen him once so far, but he's got that scene in the intro.

He was protecting Rogue and he went Super Saiyan, that's the power of love baby. That or an allusion to how, in the comics, his powers are basically firing on a single cylinder because they were once completely out of control and way too dangerous. Also they gave him time travel powers because of course.

It stabbed him because it wanted to look at him, the lasers just vaporize people and it clearly wanted to have Gambit as a bug in a collection.

Sort of kind of, there was a time travel story where Xavier died before he could found the X-Men. But it wasn't the Age of Apocalypse, it was a dystopia where mutants and humans were at war. e;fb

Marsupial Ape posted:Does anybody watch this with an actual kid? I think we’re forgetting the pacing is meant for 8 year old attention spans. We may all just be miscalibrated. This episode was tv14 so I don't think it's aimed at 8-year-olds? Maybe teenagers. But I feel like the target audience really is people who were kids when the original show aired. And yeah, the original show was paced like this too.

vote_no posted:I thought it was actually more probative; you know, “the records show you have a kid and yet I don’t see your kid and you seem messed up about it. There’s no records of anything happening to your kid. What did you do to your kid, man? Oh, you sent him through a portal to the future?” When he said they don't have any kids, I think a normal person who knew what she did would read that as him saying that his kid was dead and he really didn't want to talk about it. Trish was clearly trying to provoke him.

I think they should have Cable use time travel to save Gambit, and then have a long scene explaining that he was at Genosha back in season 1 specifically to spring Gambit from prison, and that's why he didn't help anyone else in that episode. And that in the future Gambit will do something to save young Cable, and so on and so on. This show doesn't have enough convoluted exposition or bullshit time loops to give me that real 90s X-Men feel.
