This isn't the same universe as the one that was in the Marvels. I don't think that's gonna happen.
I tried several times but I couldn't get into Andor.
I think Andor is still my #1, but this might be my #2. It's this or Wandavision, which was fucking magical on the first watch when everyone was trying to figure out the mystery.
Originally, she just had costumes made out of unstable molecules that had a "memory" that could be activated with an electrical current, so clothes that could swap from a very specific civilian outfit to a very specific superhero suit when electrified.
"Power creep" has led to her re-arranging the unstable molecules of her costume electromagnetically.
The budget requirements to pull this off in live action (massive cast, multiple locations and set pieces, special effects and costumes) would be bonkers.
I'd watch it. Though I don't think there's an inherent value in a "movie" over a TV series, personally.
X-Men TAS movie with a Spider-Verse budget
disney, give them what they want
Pepole may disagree with me on this but can you imagine the Onslaught Saga with all the budget. (Also I think Onslaught hands down would be the best option for an X-Men 97 Animated Movie)X-Men TAS movie with a Spider-Verse budget

Do we know if other iconic mutants like Iceman, Colossus or Psylocke will appear during this season?
Colossus and Psylocke have both made cameos this season via Morph so I would imagine probably not beyond that.
I do feel like that a X-Men Animated Movie won't be a 1 to 1 adaption of Onslaught but you could definetly tackle the broad strokes of it (you could even bring in the 90s Marvel Shows into iut)
Yeah I remember, hopefully they can shine in future seasons.
Spiral made a cameo in the first couple of episodes as one of Morphs transformations (same as Colossus and Psylocke) and then ended up showing up for real in episode 4. So it's possible!
Don't see the point of a Movie unless they are going to significantly upgrade the animation to Japanese golden era anime movies.
A movie that's going to look the same might as well just be a 3 or 4 parts episode story/arc.

Good episode, but I'm in the camp that wished the whole thing was about Storm (even though I love space opera X-Men). The transformation scene was amazing though, and I choose to believe the triple typhoon was an MvC reference.

Once again furthers the notion that the creatives have been purposely misleading us to pull the rug from under out feet.

Nah, they just want sell action figures, new hat versions of same characters.

I assume Beau was fired for being an abusive dude, and I know we shouldn't reward bad behavior, but they should keep him around as a consultant or whatever because this dude is cookin'
The only thing that could've made the scene better was Storm with textured hair.
Tangentially related, but Storm also flew into space in the comics just recently.

Yeah, I'm a bit worried about some of the "keep him around" talk. We don't know yet. I found myself thinking that briefly.
The worst part of this Twitter commentary is that it's endearing people to him and if he did something really reprehensible that's not great. But if it was all bullshit, what a way to work on building back fan appreciation.
Agreed. I've loved the mohawk forever but the ankle length textured hair won me over big. Someone said it looked like clouds and I didn't even associate it with that - I just love how it looks on her - but being like clouds is perfection.

Typically, the details of his/a firing would have been reported by the trades.
The abuse allegations are the current talk of the streets, which his firing from The Witcher's Netflix series also backs up. But it's true that we don't know with 100% certainty, & I'm not sure we ever will unless someone on the production team for '97 comes forward. Though it's because that talk exists that I don't feel comfortable calling for Beau's return.
Her textured hair looking like clouds was actually the logic Russell Dauterman had behind his Storm redesign (also gathering critiques from the Black community).

This is what I was so desperately hoping for when she did her magical girl transformation. I want her to look like a weather goddess and the cloud hair is a perfect way of expressing that along with her heritage.
The black and gold outfit is an acceptable compromise, at least, but I will always wish they went all the way.
We still have a few more seasons, so they could always give our goddess textured hair later. But yeah, I consider Russell's Storm one of the greatest designs she's ever had (if not THE greatest).
We didn't get this greatness until relatively recently (last year, if I recall), so that might be why it didn't make it into '97.
Mags cut from the opening character intros made me sad, then Nightcrawler getting one made me happy, then he didn't show up at all and it made me sad.
That reporter who was pissy at Cyclops lying about Nathan is going to have fits when Xavier comes back from the dead.

Not to get all "this doesn't make sense" on anyone, but is there an actual "powers" explanation of how her hair grew back? I assume her costume could have been under her clothes, but just wondering if there is something about her hair that I don't know or if it was just cool to do.
So what are your top three performances so far? I think Rogue, Storm and Mags take the cake. But they are all extremely strong so far.
Storm and Magneto are leading the pack for sure. Alison Sealy-Smith sounds like she's never left the 90s.
The third spot is a bit more competitive, but Rogue and Jean/Maddie have had the most range.
It was magic. A visual metaphor. That's it.
Yeah I was thinking about Jean/Maddie too as Jennifer Hale is always A+ but Ep 5 Rogue just killed me.
I actually think this show is on the lower end of Hale's performances in terms of quality. It's not that she's doing a bad job, she's just not doing ANYTHING I haven't already heard her do for decades now. It's a very standard Jen performance.
Putting some thought into it, I think Ray Chase nailing Cyclops' interview breakdown ("you should thank God we haven't killed you all") is a way more interesting bit of performance than anything we've got out of Jean so far.

Great episode overall I think. I was surprised by the cosmic stuff but then I often forget the ties with that present with the X-Men.
Seems we're going with Sinister as the overarching villain unless we swerve a bit.
I just got mine yesterday! Haven't had a chance to sit down with it yet.

missed opportunity ...

There's still time!
I'm hoping the films really show up Storm's versatility. She should look like she wakes up every day and chooses another iteration of her goddess side.
They're all good to great but Storm has been the most consistently amazing performance, though to be fair she's had the most to do up until last episode.
I liked the episode, but I'm bummed he's back. The team without him has more potential for growth.
