Actually goated split because they're probably the two winners and it would have been cruel to make them fight haha.
Nah "Mandor" would be about Trask and his workers.
Yeah, but I would just suspend judgement about Gambit until the end of this season.
Apparently a lot voice talent comes from Canada since they're non-union, aka cheaper labor.

I think we've found his appearances in ep 2 (seated at the UN war table), 4 (picture on Forge's board), 5 (at the gala), and obviously 7. Excuse me while I scour through the other 2 eps and play a game of Where's Bastion?
Just remember this fun mnemonic: Genosha = Genocide!
He sounds like SUCH A PRICK, it's incredible. I really have to give him props for absolutely nailing how utterly detestable Bastion is.
The way he talks is...it's kind of like if the main villain from FFXVI had a personality. It's so well-executed.
I'm pretty sure that's already been debunked as the reason.
I'm really liking how more dimensional they're making Scott in this one, even compared to the OG series.
You get to see him more and struggles as leader, husband, and father. Just way more range. Not just a foil to Wolverine.
You can say the same about Gambit, Jean, Storm, and Rogue as well.

Why was Aurora at the funeral (to the right)?
Best I can think of is that she was captured on Genosha in the Slave Island episode that had Gambit in it but she was hardly the only mutant cameo in that episode, and I don't remember them even appearing in the same scene together.
Maybe the implication is that they hit it off off screen somewhere.
This was a 2022 tweet (now deleted) from a producer/writer on The Witcher, which DeMayo was also fired from.

There's also speculation that she's either Singer from the Assassin's Guild or Courier.

I really hope it was a damn good reason because I've been really excited for this and I'm hesitant about it going forward. Disney has jumped the gun in the past (James Gunn), but I imagine they probably wouldn't do this without good cause...idk.
Hopefully they can continue on at the same level of quality without them.
That's not Aurora that is Singer a member of the assassin's guild.

That would make more sense but on her own sitting next to three other cameo characters from the original series it's weird to pull a comics character like that who never appeared in the show before.That's not Aurora that is Singer a member of the assassin's guild.

He's not in episode 3 and 6. So we just have to find him in episode one.

Also, apparently Beau's said that Bastion have been buying mutants from the Friends of Humanity.
The writing has such a personal touch so far though. I'm really curious about how Season 3 is going to turn out. But that is years away.
I think it will turn out fine.
I think it's just a show that both the thieves guild and the assassin's guild are both there and still not at each other's throats.
Besides random cameos that go nowhere are a staple of the X-Men animated series.
Probably going into Bastion's backstory and need people to remember who Nimrod is.
Supposedly it was workplace abuse, same reason why he was fired from The Witcher...

I forget, someone refresh my memory: the Alpha Sentinel program doesn't work on mutants, right? Only humans?

Morph now not only looks like Exiles Morph from the comics but is physically just a mass of white goo like Exiles Morph, too. I almost thought Morph got killed here for a split second. But they need to give Morph a redemption moment against Mister Sinister. They need a clean win.
That said, Morph getting Quicksilver's superspeed is some straight BS, I don't buy that.
Also: I like to think that Bastion waited for the exact moment to kill Gyrich until the correct station was playing The Purple People Eater.
What a good episode!
- Seeing Ross and Cap was fun! Cap being very by the book feels a bit like OG Fury in Whedon's Astonishing X-Men run. There it was Scott asking for Fury's help and he basically said sucks to be you Summers, you are on your own.
on the other hand, it's not uncommon. In the comics most heroes are still a bit hesitant to mutants. It's better these days; The Avengers Unity Squad, Spider-Man and Wolverine becoming besties and what not; still, most mutants are seen as dangerous.
- I'm so happy Nightcrawler is on the team. He's such a good character.
- Emma and her diamond form :3
- Rogue being petty against Cap is way funnier than it should be.
- Well, that Gyrich thing… that escalated quickly.
- Final minutes are hype again

Quicksilver's super speed is based on his physiology, unlike Flash. Pietro even has thicker eye fluids to stop them from drying out while running.

So yes, it's still consistent with how Morph's powers work (being able to replicate the physical abilities of anyone they mimic).
Of course. They've gotta see who it was that truly did them in.
Interesting, there's a pseudo alt timeline Avengers in that episode, too.

Did Trask know that he had been converted into a Prime Sentinel? I wonder if maybe he did and was "killing himself" in front of the X-Men deliberately in order to transform.

I didn't get that impression.
I get the impression he suspected something was happening to him but he genuinely wanted to die BEFORE it finished. Just turns out getting rid of the meatmind kinda sped up the process.

Absolutely. I'm still thinking about the way she said it, like she was about to just go off.
The original show was non-SAG, but from listening to interviews it seems that it was still a union show (most likely ACTRA, the Canadian equivalent). It seems that under their union rules, voice actors got lump sum payments in lieu of residuals, which did save money in the long run. It's the reason Iona Morris (an American SAG-AFTRA member), was replaced with Alison Sealy-Smith. I kinda wish they found a way to give Iona a role on '97, because she's just as much a part of the show's legacy and got done so dirty.
Those accusations only came from that one writer, who also posted (and deleted) messy stuff like this at the same time:
That sounds like someone with an axe to grind. I get that Beau was highly unprofessional in airing dirty laundry from The Witcher's writer's room, but that writer seemed to have issues with Beau at a personal level if he felt the need to bring up stuff like that.
The actual showrunner for The Witcher, Lauren Hissrich, had this to say about Beau: https://www.pcgamer.com/witcher-showrunner-ive-never-mocked-the-books/
Maybe she's just more diplomatic (or mindful about NDAs), but neither she nor anyone else from The Witcher have ever corroborated the abuse allegations. She easily could've said, "I have great respect for Beau's writing" and let people read between the lines. But I don't know how she could have "great respect" for someone who was fired for being physically and emotionally abusive.
Beau has also still been interacting with directors, voice actors, and writers from X-Men '97 on Twitter, so if there was bad blood then it wasn't with everyone. That doesn't excuse his behavior if he was in fact abusive to anyone, even if it was just one person, but all we really have to go off is hearsay.

The actress said she recently lost a family member and tapped into that grief and it really shows IMO.
by who? Him? Disney/Marvel? What? lol How can anything be "debunked" when nobody involved is saying anything?

my intention is not to cape for the guy, but what did he do specifically? If it's so bad why are people dancing around it? Say specifically what he did so that I can mentally write him off instead of all the nebulous beating around the bush.

I don't see why, the thing about mutants is pretty much all their powers comes from their very DNA. Morph rewrites their cellular DNA to look like anyone else also means they gain the powers from said DNA. Anything that is purely a physical mutation is on the table for Morph.
Quicksilver's power is entirely DNA based, it's not something like The Flash whose power is derived from a metaphysical Speed Force, so that's an easy get for them.
Beast having a "that ain't alll MLK said" moment pleases me.
I also like how the perspective on "Tolerance is Extinction" has shifted through the season.

If Bishop took Cable into future, why do they come from separate timelines whenever they visit?
alls I know is I now want Morph playable in MvC4, with a moveset consisting of them transforming into a bunch of mutants that don't make the cut. Kinda like how Super Skrull has a little bit of all the Fantastic Four members.
also if Morph dies and you have Wolverine on your team and he does his level 3 he says THIS ONE'S FOR YOU MORPH
thank you capcom I have ideas for days

I meant she was a member of the Canadian Parlaiment
She is NDP so I'd be surprised if she wasn't in a union
