Also speaking of Deathbird, I've always found it amusing how she has always had an air of genetic superiority about her, given that her wings are actually a result of the recessive shi'ar genes that call back to her race's avian ancestry.
Hell, that's pretty much the reason she was overlooked to be next in line for the throne despite being older than Lilandra.
But then again, that's the thing with supremacists right; They're ability to be completely unaware of their own hypocrisy, lol.
Yeah that could definitely be the case for sure. If Xavier does come back to earth permanently; he needs to not stay with the x-men, though.
He can't go back to him just being the head of the team again.
He never could in the books, and if the writers try to do that in this series, I think they will severely undercut Cyclops' character development trajectory if he does.
Or, he could voluntarly step aside and just serve as council to the x-men should they need advice.
Eh. It's too early to bring him back. I wish they would have began this plot point in the second season instead.

Just started the episode but I want to just say, once more, is I just want the production team to acknowledge the Japanese theme song / intro SOMEWHERE this season. Please.
Outside of a "cry for the moon" throwaway line or something, they might not have the legal rights to do so.
Ah okay! I like the design.That's from the One Man's Worth two-parter. It's basically a proto-Age of Apocalypse.
One Man's Worth Part 1
This is the second episode of the fourth season of X-Men: The Animated Series. Protagonists: Bishop Shard (first appearance) Wolverine Storm Forge Professor X Antagonists: Trevor Fitzroy (first appearance) Bantam (first appearance) Master Mold Nimrod Avengers (only appearance) Captain America...marvel-90s-cartoons.fandom.com
It reminds me of Ultimate Wolverine.

This episode also features the amazing moment where Storm laughs off racism based on skin color. Like "how quaint".
If I'm not mistaken that's Days of Future Past Wolverine. He was in that costume in the future where Bishop gets introduced in the 90's cartoon.
That's a blessing in disguise, now you are relieved you have 4 more episodes to go, but now you suffer like the rest of us.
"Descended from simians"
"Not even a pure Terran, he's a mutant"
"Milky Way ghetto"
- Don't matter if you and your people saved the galaxy. You still ani- Terran (with a hard -n to boot).
Ronan calling Deathbird a pigeon had me howling tho
also praise be for the return of full haired goddess Storm, I was never a fan of the mohawk Storm design

Deathbird is doing some omega-level projection there, too, considering she's a mutant herself.
Not a mutant, genetically regressive. Like if we had been born with tails
Definitely true to life though, you see that hypocritical behaviour all the time with bigots & racists 😅
If Xavier had a tail, Deathbird would definitely have let us know her opinions on it
yeah, I thought the same. With a bit of making shit up, you could even somewhat pretend to make up Onslaught's face on one of the space blots in the Gambit scene. But it would be way too unrecognizable to actually claim it as a hint so it's probably not.
(The globe did spin all purple-y though)
lol no it's not. Why are y'all turning literally anything and everything into some kind of fan fight? Both animation styles and even art styles are completely differnent, and both look great. X-Men obviously better, 'cause you can see the hand-drawn love, but that doesn't make anything else worse.

Massive props too for Storms' costume change.
I actually hope that more x-men undergo some semi-permanent costume changes too. Not just her.
I'm really bored to death with the Jim Lee costumes. Especially Cyclops's one.
Would love to see a Utopia era costumer of the x-men leader, or even crazier (maybe in the second season), his red mutant revolutionary costume.
Yeah, that was a sic-burn.
Although the term "bin-chicken" would have been more apt for Deathbird, I don't think they have those in Chandilar.

Is it crazy if I say I think this is the best piece of TV that Disney has produce in over a decade?
"Let them thunder, for I am lightning!" 😭
I need the OST for this show, now!
While I would have liked both parts of this story to be their own episode, I do like that they're thematically linked. You can tell the writers were cooking a 10-course meal with this show.
This show has gotten me very fearful of the MCU X-Men. There ain't no way Feige and Disney will allow that movie to go this hard.

She wasn't burning off her regular clothes and revealing her costume underneath this whole time?? :PDamn straight
Rule of cool, baby
Can I just voice some appreciation for how well they animated Gladiator, btw? It's clear the animation team took a TON of inspiration from the way Superman was animated in Justice League/JLU, with the slow walks, the super-fast dash punches, etc. That's just "animated Superman" to a T.
Like that's always been what Gladiator IS since all the way back in the 70s, but seeing those connections drawn so clearly makes me smile.

On the other side of this one, man. This show is finally cooking. The pacing literally feels like a different show now. The writers have always delivered bars every episode, usually from Magneto, but now the scene pacing is slower. The act breaks better placed. More on par with the council episode of episode 5, or the Jean/storm quiet conversation of episode 3.
My favorite element about the 80s X-Men was how subplots were seeded and paid off. Also, how characters' philosophies and deeper opinions were allowed to be said aloud and to each other. Basically just given time to breathe.
The old cartoon just didn't have the writing as it was aimed for teens. The first 4 eps were pretty, but way too fast and crammed. 5 was great. But if the rest of the show feels like 6 with buildups to 5? Yeah…this is a different show now.
That classroom writing was excellent. The only tragedy of the episode is the loss of new storm hair for classic storm. Also, I love that Storm has her own theme music. If they chill out on her self-hype speeches, even better. Also, I think the actress's voice for Ororo has aged a bit too much.

I'd just as easily say how immensely satisfying it is to see these characters paired with great action staging.
The old show already suffered from the inconsistent animation, but goddamn, so many of the fights were just people limply knocking eachother from one side of the room to the other with no impact or velocity.
So much care is being put here to making the action pop.
What's wild is that I read X-men for years and NEVER liked Charles. This was the first time I've ever really 'got' him. I thought they did an incredible job.
So this episode has to have put to bed the theory that Cable is going to undo everything next week, right?
Forge's machine worked and restored them back in episode 4. It was her own mind stopping them from working, which then manifested as the Adversary.
I still think Andor is the best TV show they've done, but this is really well made and also crazy fun.
Fitting for a goddess.
Both that scene and her attack on the sentinel's in episode one would be right at home as Final Fantasy summon cutscenes.
I think it was good. Maybe closer to an episode 4. Half Storm continuing her struggles, half intergalactic politics. Not as exciting as episode 5 but there's tons of emotional heart and some great moments.
If nothing else, this series proves that we need Black directors & writers for the MCU X-Men movie(s).
Very, very good.
I honestly want this to runs its course before even thinking about the xmen in the MCU. It wouldn't be fair on any live action movies to go up against this. As has been said, full animated movie(s) with Spiderverse budget would be great to have at the end of the series.
Understandable, the '97 crew has been cooking since Day 0.
Though speaking of live-action, I have a sinking suspicion that we're gonna see Maria Rambeau as Binary in this series.
Sure why not
Andor exists so not quite, it's up there though
Man, I was hyped to see Nightcrawler get his own intro splash. Can't wait to see how he's incorporated in the coming episodes.
