How does Magneto fly

Like I guess the idea is that his suit is metallic and he uses his magnet powers to levitate it, but I think that’s stupid as gently caress because it’s equivalent to trying to fly by pulling up on your own feet

The whole 'master of magnetism' and him going to metal for his basic offense makes one forget that his power is not magnetism, it's ELECTROMAGNETISM. One of the four fundamental forces of the universe electromagnetism. With that, Magneto can control electrons. You know what has electrons? Everything.

Seriously, forget just magnetism and electrical power stuff. If he really can control electromagnetism fully, he could in theory 1) turn invisible (due to visible light being a type of electromagnetic radiation) 2) phase shift (electromagnetism is what keeps solid objects from passing through one another and thus he could deactivate this and walk through walls or go beyond that and become completely invincible) 3) unleash any kind of laser blasts at his foes (once again, light is electromagnetic radiation, as is everything on this chart, so that's also heat vision, x-ray vision, being his own radio and being able to scramble any others at his leisure, and producing microwaves, macrowaves, and the deadliest form of radiation on a whim), 4) Create optical illusions via, again, manipulation of light, 5) explicitly control half of physics, all of chemistry (which when boiled down is the study of protons, neutrons, and electrons), and most of biology (which is a combination of chemistry and physics), 6) manipulate valence electrons, in which he can force chemical reactions to occur that are normally impossible or make reactions that normally occur not happen, 7) Manipulate nervous systems to turn people into puppets or kill them by just turning the electrical impulses that govern nervous systems off, 8) Also hijack electronics via a similar method, or just fry them outright with EMP waves 9) flash freeze or heat matter by imparting or taking away kinetic energy through protons and electrons 10) transmute anything into any other thing by rearranging particles at the subatomic level, 11) disintegrate anything larger than a nucleus, and there's yet more.

Basically, absolutely anything that can be done by natural means, Magneto can theoretically do. How does he fly? I could give you a list of ways.

That, comic writers are not scientists, and you could always do something like say "Doing the metal stuff is like lifting a thirty pound weight in terms of mental effort; he's trained and is old enough so that's it's easy, but doing other things is akin to lifting heavier weights, or maybe is the equivalent of having to do advanced math calculations in your head while the metal thing is 2+2 = 4"

He's not alone. Storm's power is 'control the weather', so that usually defaults to fly on wind, shoot lightning bolts, maybe make some tornados or heavy snowfall. But if she's allowed 'full control of the weather', she could do things like agitate the air molecules in an enclosed area to heat it up, or dampen them to a degree that the temperature drops so fast she can literally freeze people in place and freeze the blood in their veins, control air pressure in such a way that she could form shields around herself to deflect physical force, or just suck the air out of everything and make people pass out or suffocate. She can make hurricanes, possibly hurricanes that are larger than any that could form naturally, and by extension she could create tidal waves, or wind forces that could NEGATE tidal waves, or just twist the weather in an area of unknown size, possibly the size of cities, multiple cities, states, etc to cause a cascade of terrible snowball effects. And that's not considering that in the comics her weather control includes 'control elemental energy', which she used at points to 1) Create a sort of 'cosmic storm' on another planet to produce an effect to shield the planet from a massive blast of solar radiation 2) Seal a breach in reality, 3) Losing control of her temper on another planet made her powers almost ignite the whole planet's atmosphere, and while she managed to keep from doing that, she still caused planetwide aurora borealis. Not to mention she's so good with her weather control that she not only can fire lightning bolts that can annihilate giant targets like Shield helicarriers, giant monster worms the size of skyscrapers, or have so much voltage in them it can heat the air in the immediate area to six times the surface of the sun, but a cosmic evil force called the Adversary admitted that her lightning could, in theory, 'reduce him to dust', and she was able to throw lightning bolts with such control and intensity that she hurt Thor with them. Yeah. Thor. God of Thunder Thor.

Heck, Jubilee's power might default to 'make pretty fireworks, maybe shoot some explosive blasts', but her power is technically 'spontaneously generating explosive plasma', which is a type of being able to manipulate nuclear reactions. Which means that if she knew what she was doing, she could potentially explode matter on a subatomic level. Of course, with the whole thing of Jubilee being a 'mall baby teenager', it's understandable that she defaults to simple things.

Her and Magneto have hooked up 3 or 4 times in the past comic runs, sometimes in different comic universes. I think in one universe they have a kid but I might be wrong, my coffee hasn’t finished brewing yet. The clothes shes wearing during the flashback in the show are probably referencing when they were together in the Savage Lands.

Yeah, they were together with a kid in Age of Apocalypse. For those who don't know, it was about Xavier's crazy son Legion deciding to go back in time and kill a young Magneto, only for Xavier to take the bullet for him. That caused the present to change to a hellscape where Magneto leads the X-Men against Apocalypse. It was 90s as gently caress.

Also, in that timeline, Juggernaut became the world's swollest monk.

Wait, is 97 actually good? I really enjoyed the show as a child, but when I looked back as an adult it had a lot of flaws and was all over the place. I was riffing here on the assumption that 97 was just some mid nostalgia swill that was too childish to satisfy the original audience now that they've grown up.

Can we get some effort post reviews from people who've actually watched the whole season?

Ok that wasn't an effortpost but the animation quality is pretty high, most of the voice actors are either the same people or great imitators (who actually sound closer in some cases since they haven't aged 30 years in the meantime). The pacing is breakneck and the stakes are high AF

It's good. Not just empty calories nostalgia good. Good.
