X-Men '97 |OT| Previously On... (Disney+, two episode premiere on March 20)
- Thread starter GreenMamba
- Start date
- Entertainment Video/Streaming OT
Gotta give them props, never expected them to literally go there! That Cyclops and Jean Grey ending was the first actual comic I bought, so I am feeling all the feelings right now 🤩😱😢😈
If I were to make a list of the top five projects that Marvel Studios has produced since Iron Man in 2008, X-Men '97 would be in it.
Absolutely incredible end to the season. I have so many (positive) thoughts but I'll start off with the most basic: seeing civilian Peter and MJ in the clothing they wore in the 1994 series made me so happy, I think I made an audible noise.

Honestly, this was my introduction to the X-Men, though I knew basic info.
Floored by how amazing this show was.

Yee, good to see Peter was able to find her, in the end. :3
Yup and they were wearing their animated series outfits!
also why aren't you out there helping people, Peter? lol
I KNOW!!! I can't believed that I missed this until I saw this on Twitter!!Losing my god damn mind right now.

This entire series is a miracle. It's insane how great this was.
Notice they didn't show where Logan and Morph ended up.
I'm so dang proud they are adapting The Adventures of Cyclops and Phoenix. It's such a sweet thing for them to actually get to raise Nathan after all.
Is this the first appearance of Rachel in the series? I can't remember if she was in the old run.

Me too. I'd recognize that yellow outfit MJ was wearing anywhere :D
When they showed President Kelly watching the Asteroid plummet to the Earth I actually said "What's the plan now, dumbass?!" to my TV.
And I noticed the way they spoke about what Magneto did to the planet matched what Beau said on Twitter, basically a permanent blackout but not destroying or slowly dooming the planet like a lot of us thought. That retroactively makes last episode a bit better... but it's still an issue that seemingly everyone who watched it thought the same thing at the time.

Isn't this series before that?
Also where could Logan, Ororo and Morph have gone to?
Ngl I was expecting it to end on some painful cliffhanger but that line at the end was perfect
- glad to see we weren't getting Onslaught as it was really looking like they could have gone down that road
- S1 has given us "Magneto was right." but also "MAGNETO LIVES" lol
- Pete found his MJ? (Or is this a different part in the timeline / different timeline perhaps)
- splitting the team between past and future is interesting
- Horseman Gambit was much a go
can't wait for S2

I have to collect my thoughts (and sleep), but what an amazing finale. So is next season AoA, but across different time periods?
This is still 1997. That's probably Hydro MJ
No Onslaught and no AoA. AoA is an alternate present timeline where Xavier never lived to form the X-Men and Apocalypse took over. In this series, most of the X-Men are in their past and two are in the far future. Both these time periods "happen". Well. The future one is a "possible future" but it's the one Cable is from so all his experiences happen.
Even if the timeline doesn't quite add up:

Bastion's last line went super hard
"Humanity would rather die than have kids like us!"
And speaking of Bastion that fight with Kurt had me biting my nails! I thought they would pull a Second Coming on us, glad that didn't happen.

Ah that's who that was on the wall with the mask right?
The Spider-Man animated series ended in 1998 but the entire thing likely took place in roughly 1-2 years. I'm rewatching it now and there's a moment in the third season that states it had only been a few months since the 1994 pilot episode.
Spidey season 5 was in '97 with the finale airing in Jan. 98, so... it's weird but then again no one addresses Captain America being out of the time warp and why T'Challa isn't running things with his Keith David voice.
I assume instead of Age of Apocalypse, they're doing Rise of Apocalypse. Along with The Adventures of Cyclops and Phoenix.
I wonder if they actually introduce Rachel.

Given what the script treatment look like it is a good thing if we just skip over seeing Spidey finding MJ.
