Any episode now!
Rogue kick by Rogue. She had that divekick in X-Men vs. Street Fighter back in '96.
How Rogue handled
was kinda wild to me...WasCapalways treated like a chump like this back in the old shows?Cap
The disrespect is real...
I wonder if they're ever gonna address what the old show did to Carol Danvers, lolThere has always been an uneasy relationship between X-Men and the Avengers, since the Avengers work in coordination with government and the X-Men are often considered outlaws.
Rogue in particular has no love for them because she used to be part of Mystique's Brotherhood before joining the X-Men. She especially has bad history with Captain Marvel, who she gets her powers from.
So yeah, Rogue would see Steve Rogers as a cop and if she wanted to fuck Cap up there would be little he could do about it alone.
Same here, he's definitely a better Steve than Tony. Though he's great at both.Lol I recognized Josh Keaton almost immediately. Another fantastic episode.
Someone on Reddit worked out what OZT stands for...

Cool to see Cap. How long do you imagine it took him to find his shield?
Bright Eyes:
This episode will focus on Cyclops stepping up and leading the team and taking no prisoners as they hunt for the ones they believe are responsible for the attack on Genosha; Gyrich & Trask. I have a hunch that Cable is in this too; only because of the key scene of E5 where Maddie recognises Cables eyes in Genosha right before the attack (this is likely a stretch).
I think, especially for comic book fans, we're going to finally see more of the Cyclops we all know and love here. he's going to be very assertive to humanity and he's singularly focused on the Genosha Genocide. Just like in the comic books during this time, he's becoming more & more like Magneto. However the x-men are going to discover that Gyrich & Trask actually had nothing do with the attack, and be completely unprepared for the real architect of the genocide.
Tolerance is Extinction pt.1:
Could go either way here & spoilers for anyone who hasn't read Grant Morrison's New-X-men run but for those who have, we all know Cassandra Nova was behind the attack on Genosha, as part of her plan to artificially start a new war between mutants and humans.
However as Marvel is using Cassandra Nova as the big bad for Deadpool 3, I think they're going to swap her out (real shame; she would be awesome in animation) for Bastion the prime Sentinel. That's why this 3-parter story is called 'Tolerance is Extinction', and not 'E is for extinction', because the 'tolerance' part is a reference to Bastions own comic book arc 'Operation Zero Tolerance',but this is for the most part Grant Morrison's 'E is for extinction'.
I think the x-men are finally going to confront him, however he's going to outmanoeuvre them and leave them at a disadvantage.
Also, Nightcrawler will be helping them out as part of the team however.
Tolerance is Extinction pt.2:
If it IS Bastion who planned the attack, I actually think he hurts them further than just the loss of Gambit. If the comics are anything to go by (and although its from a different arc) sadly I think Bastion is gonna get the best of Kurt, and (especially if they want to make the audiences cry big time) Nightcrawler is gonna 'go' while trying to save a key member of the x-men. This drives the x-men over the edge (after the losses they've had so far, now this?) and via some stratagem, they manage to get the upper hand on Bastion and the tide turns in there favour. Bastion is done.
Tolerance is Extinction pt.3:
The real crux of the story here; whatever the x-men had to do to put Bastion in his place, it has soured human/mutant relations to the state it was prior to Xaviers live tv attack, and the x-men now have to deal with a world that is once again fearful towards mutants. Also, Cyclops, who has just about had enough of having to keep saving humanity when all it does is continue to attack 'his people', he will use the Genoshan genocide as a platform and give them an ultimatum to leave them alone peacefully or suffer the consequences. The X-men took care of the best humanity could muster to wipe them out & it didn't work. Don't push him. Maybe in a live news broadcast or something. and he, rather than classic 'Magneto' will be the one to bring fear into the hearts of humanity again. At the end will see an updated slogan: "Cyclops was Right".
BUUUUT I could also be completely off. lol. :p
Felt like Cyclops actually got the line of the episode during his conversation with the president not wanting to do immediate investigations regarding the sentinels. And the president trying to pull a "well there could be a less mutant-friendly President in my place." Heh.
Emma calling out Carol was goodI mean, at this point can we collectively say this season has been better than the whole of the original XMTAS?
Another banger for the writers of this show.
Loved that scene between Steve & Rogue. Completely makes sense given events, however would have loved it to be between Cyclops and Cap, though.
The tension between the Avengers & the X-men in the comics (especially after terror attacks) have always been tumulus; anytime someone striked against mutants the Avengers are usually no-shows because of the 'optics'. They've always been the "thoughts & prayers" type.
Which is why it was so hypocritical of them to ask the x-men for help when Civil War was happening and the superhuman registration bill was being passed.
If I recall, I think it was Emma that told off Tony Stark about their double standards - they did nothing when the government wanted to put mutants on a registration list just for being mutants, but now that they're doing it to enhanced humans too, suddenly they're vocal about the injustice?
Also of note during the Genoshan clean-up scenes, they did mention they still haven't found Val Cooper's body & she's just gone missing.
She went 'missing' because she was never there --That's Mystique, I tell you.
Not doing too bad with my predictions from 50 pages ago. :)
I've been getting most of it right so far, but it's getting a little trickier based on what the show writers are taking from different comic book arc snippets and paper mache'ing them together.

Yeah the original had some great episodes and storylines but '97 is taking everything to a whole new level as far as I'm concerned.I mean, at this point can we collectively say this season has been better than the whole of the original XMTAS?

Also referencing the Hulk.I'm surprised no one here mentioned that we got a cameo from Thunderbolt Ross.
