The fact that Gambit sacrificed himself not knowing that Rogue chose him is absolutely heartbreaking.
100% this. I've dug out my old comics so I could see them happy together. I'm so wrecked.
I was so devastated that i couldn't even put that together ... thanks for making my day worse!!
it woudnt change the problem they had anyway, its a huge problem not feeling ur partners touch.
Magneto isn't dead, Leech is capable of blocking the sentinels sensors.
@@lucylucian2564 Rogue gets over that hurdle eventually since its a full on psychological issue.
"I've seen this 4 times now, surely this time i wont cry" what a lie I told myself.
Jst watched a Korean reaction channel I DONT SPEAK IT but I felt their excitement and Pain😢 it’s universal at this point.
Us Gambit fans will never recover from this first week or two
SAAAMEEE, I haven't been able to not cry watching the "I can't feel you" scene JAKSJAJSJAJA.
Every.....fn.....time! I can't believe how powerful they made this episode. The score was so emotional, the build up, the dialogue...it just hits on all levels. Best thing Marvel has done in a long time.
This so damn true lol. This episode is so emotionally impacting
Sinister will pay. 😡
The voice actress for Rogue said she channeled her feelings she felt when she lost her niece to deliver that line.
That’s fucked
Leech isn’t German. 😢 magnetos last words are comfort to Leech - but to HIMSELF also. He’s looking at the child version of HIM during genocide. So he speaks the words he would have heard 😢
Considering that the attack was apparently triggering some pretty nasty flashbacks for Magneto, I betcha that’s exactly what happened.
Charles would be so proud.
Wow 😢I never thought about that. Wow! Looks like I will continue to not get over this episode
its the last thing his mom said to him
Personally, I interpreted it as him having his "life flashing before his eyes" moment so he kinda "defaulted" to his mother tongue as he reverted to being a child as well. Incredibly emotional and heartbreaking episode. REALLY well done show.
this is the emotional damage we watch the x-men for
Makes me wonder if Steven He was secretly an X-Man all along.
This is like the emotional damage I felt as a child when I watched Artex die in the Swamp in the Never Ending Story or watching Littlefoot's mother die right in front of him in the Land before Time.
in the end, magneto is just like charles... all he cared about in his final moments was making sure a little mutant boy isn't afraid anymore. that's a hero.
They've always had similar desires, just a difference of opinion about what was possible. Charles imagined a world where everyone could live in peace, while Erik assumed that wasn't possible and so fought for a world where at least mutants could live in peace, even if that meant removing the humans to make it happen. But both of them fought for peace in their own ways.
Amazing comment.
Wish I could give you x10 thumbs up
In chess, a gambit is a sacrifice to gain an advantage usually to protect and advance the queen. In this case Gambit made the ultimate sacrifice. A very poetic symbolism. A bittersweet moment. That is why this episode for me cuts deep and now you know why he is my favorite X-Men and even my favorite Marvel character of all time.
He finally lived up to his name
PREACH ❤️
More for this - he'd taken the Queen card while talking to Rogue before the party. She was his Queen.
Buddy, same. It’s been a week and I’m STILL devastated
I’m still saddened and crying at the fact that Rogue is holding him in her arms.
I'm still telling myself it can't be true
It's been a month. Still not over it.
@@IQSim same
It's been a month and a half. Still devastated
Welcome to the support group. It has been a week and we've been expecting you.
Yeah it's crazy right!
“We shall not live our lives wondering if we could have saved more.”
I can’t help but think this is a reference to the end of Schindler’s List when he laments that he “could have gotten more.”
As much as it hurt that Gambit died how he did, it was just core crushing to see Magnito look down at Leech and tell him don't be afraid in German. He was a child again with him knowing what was about to happen.
i love how everyones reaction to Nightcrawler is just "MY BOYYYY"
I don't cry at TV\Movies. Not a macho thing. Just a suspension of disbelief thing. Now, I know I'm getting sentimental in my old age. And I did grew up watching the original X-men series, so I'm sure that is part of it, but after watching this my 7 year old daughter came into the room to check on me because i was a mess. Not only did this episode bring me to tears but I've cried twice now just watching reaction to the episode. Those last few lines from Rogue...
Same here, we've all been there. I cried too, this new season just gets everything right.
I heard how it made many people cry and I watched it with that in mind. I didn't think i would cry right up until the moment that she said, "I can't feel you." That hit me so hard, it was an immediate reaction.
Did you see the Watcher?
Right after Gambit and Rogue’s talk, before the fireworks for the Gala begin. You can see the Watcher in the sky. A subtle warning to us the viewers that something big was gonna happen.
There’s another layer of tragedy to this episode, one based in real life
A few weeks before dialogue was recorded, Rogue’s VA, Lenore Zann, lost her seventeen year old niece to cancer
To say some of her lines ripped open fresh wounds would be an understatement
Oh my god really? That’s so horrible, I hope she’s okay.
HOLY SHIT MAN 😭😭😭😭😭😭
the scoundrel finally proved himself a true hero
True 😭😭
Xavier said it himself in the original series: 'How many times must the Scoundrel prove himself a Hero before he himself believes it?'
It took me hours to get over the last line by Rogue, I kept hearing her in my head, such a powerful moment, one of the best episodes of television ever created
Today's episode of X-Men 97 is brought to you by the letter E... for extinction!
A bit on-the-nose, Frank Quitely- I mean, quite frankly. But fitting, I’ll Grant you that.
Or emotional
E is for Extinction….that’s good enough for me 😭
Ok, that hits hard
Heartbreaking....you weren't the only one that cried....we all did. LOVED IT! SPECTACULAR
Film Students need to study this episode. Regardless of the fact its animation, this is perhaps one of the best episodes of television ever. And the voice acting! the way Lenore Zann's voice breaks when she says "feel you"... I haven't cried like that since Peter said "I don't want to go... I don't want to go."
Brother its been a week and I'm still fucked up.
"The name's Gambit , mon ami.... remember it"
I will never fucking recover from this.
I do like how well the show is handling the mutants as analogy for persecuted group, with an example of Magneto literally seeing this moment as like the camps he experienced
You mean... like X-Men always has been since the start?
@@IceMetalPunk the movie x men did not handle that well
What's even sadder about Magneto, is that Leech, the child he was protecting, dampens the powers of those around him. Even then, Magneto chose to comfort him in his final moments rather than push him away to keep fighting.
Gambit has always been my favorite since the original aired and I watched as a kid. I always felt like he didn't get enough credit, but in a way i liked that too, love an underdog vibe. I was SO HYPED to see him getting such a spotlight in this episode and right around when he hit rogue outta the way I started to worry, but thought, nah no way. Waiting 27 years to see your childhood hero be destroyed hurt, but damn what a way to go. I can't hear "I can't feel you" without crying, what a great performance😭😭
I got teary at your THUMBNAIL bro 😭
That was the best *Queens Gambit* ever. Such a big sacrifice for the queen to advance the field. She really was his *”Queen” of Hearts.*
I’m a huge cartoon and Japanese anime fan. I don’t think I have ever had an animation episode impact me emotionally the way this has. This is peak Marvel. X-men and Invincible are hands down the best comic book shows on TV today. Hell, probably ever. Incredible team, production snd and a special shoutout to the voice actors. My millennial heart is bursting right now lol.
You have no idea how much I have been waiting for this reaction.
Yes, me too
Jean wasn't mad Scott and Maddie were talking, they were making out on the astral plane for the past month. For a telepath that's like the real thing. And Im not 100% convinced Magneto is dead. Part of me thinks he went underground and Leech then canceled Magneto's power so it looked like he had died. The theory has a couple problems but Im simply not ready to be done with Eric's top tier writing and dialogue. He's the Master of Saltiness lol
Exactly this, all of it. Though, I would be hard-pressed to be convinced they stopped at making out. I've seen a lot of reactors being very hard on Jean and giving Scott a pass in this situation. What I think they're forgetting is how deeply confused and lost Jean is feeling, both due to everything that Sinister did to her and because the person who has always been her rock, Scott, is completely absent. He's even pulled back from the psychic rapport they had for more than a decade. Her mind is completely jumbled, and the one person who has been steady from the moment she came to in the med lab was Logan. I'm not saying what she did was ok, but I'm really sure it wasn't worse than the month of intentional choices Scott was making.
Cable is going back to fix the timeline.
@@leonardkim8631 Clearly he is working on it. His frantic "not again" before he gets pulled back indicates he's been working at this for some time. The issue around this will probably be a plotline in the future. At the same time, I don't see everything going back to the way it was. Good writing should have consequences that linger even after time travel mcguffins are applied. I'm not saying don't bring Gambit back tho.
@@Kuhlee84 I would buy that they moved on to other things past kissing. Jean has definitely been violated, and her entire existence called into question. She's got legitimate issues. Jean seems to be displaying a form of dissociative amnesia, where she can recall facts and information but they lack emotional resonance. It's a real thing. I largely understand and forgive Jean for kissing Logan. The two bits of infidelity between Scott and Jean are simply not equivalent.
I was holding it together pretty well. But like so many people that scene where Magneto looks down and tells Leech to "not be afraid" in his native German. Absolutely destroyed me.
That save at 8:20 captured the essence of Kurt Wagner. First time I’ve truly scene it outside of the comic books
❤❤❤
That screeching sound effect of the death beam & his bamph was incredible
I was like "Oh hey its the watcher!" then "OH GOD NO! ITS THE WATCHER"
_Appropriate reaction._
Gambit knows that Rogue was going to eventually not want to be with Magnito. He seemingly understood why she needed to try it. Unfortunately he died not knowing she did choose him.
Yes. I think a lot of people missed what exactly Gambit was saying. He was gonna wait for her no matter what ❤
Not sure if they're sticking with the comics but in E is for Extinction, they killed 16.5+ million mutants on Genosha in that attack. It was crazy, leaving a little over a million. Yeah, that Magneto part and Rogue's last line hurt. Crying hard.
the Genoshan Genocide... this was devastating and so so raw
I often heard about it as a thing that happened in the comics once
so its pretty wild to see actually SEE IT
@@sarafontanini7051yes it is and it’s a set thing so I doubt they will bring anyone back at most they will bring gambit back but as a horseman I reckon that would be it is a fixed thing and you see the watcher in the sky.
Man, I feel you. Even after a week, this episode hit like a truck. But thank you for sharing it with us.
Best 30 minutes of television I've seen in 10 years. EPIC episode, I'm 46 yrs old, when he looked at leech and said don't be afraid I couldn't even fucking see anymore my eyes welled up so much, then gambit being such a badass, to go out knowing he saved the remainder of the mutants, and the ace of base song..this is a true perfect 10/10 episode. Cant pick a single fault with it.
Dude, this is my first time watching you and I'm so glad I did cause nobody else I've watched has cried like you did, which is exactly how I cried! This show has surpassed my expectations by far, but this episode is sooo above and beyond what I ever thought a "cartoon" would make me feel!
"The name is Gambit, remember it!"
Is a line he said in the original Cartoon as well.
Well done Disney. Well done.
As a gay millennial this show is hitting me so hard in the nostalgia feels and also in how much the allegory is resonating. My mind flashed to so many times that haters showed up IRL to mar what should've been happy occasions with cruelty and violence. It's good to see an animated series and superheroes on the screen in a way that respects the audience's intelligence and maturity.
35 years old and i am still crying about it 😢
41 and I am still crying about it
Watching us lose Gambit was hard, but watching Magneto hit me hard. He has always been my favorite. To be through all he has and all his struggles he is such a great character. To watch him look down at Leech and say dont be afraid in German hit so damn hard. This show is amazing.
Like we all can agree X-men 97 been pure GOLD but ep 5 was BRUTAL as a fan. From Magneto Line to Leech to Rogue line to Gambit ..to Madylen line to Cable 🥺 like idc what marvel has to do but get Beau Demayo job back ASAP like noting but pure gold..best work from marvel in YEARS
7:51 “ay there’s your son!(cable)” 7:54 WAIT WHY IS CABLE HERE TELLING EVERYONE TO RUN!
I enjoy how deeply Nerdy feels things.
Stuff gets me emotionally (it’s much easier when it’s fiction rather than my own life) but never as deeply on a physical level and more internally emotional and more muted than that.
Still, I hope he got a good nice hug afterwards.
The fact that we all got emotional and cry during all of these events in this episode, just goes to show how much the X-Men mean to us
I don't know how many times I've seen this; between my watching and watching reactors like yourself, watch it. And it hits hard every time. I cry every time. This is the most difficult episode ever
Same, Gambit is my all time favorite comic book characters and to see him go out was hard to take. But I can at lets know he went out like a boss, a champ, a hero. Love you Gambit R.I.P
"I can't feel you" fucking broke me.
Oh dear. You finally got to episode five. Yeah, it's been a week later and I"m still emotionally messed up from how great it was.
It's been nearly a week and my face still looks like yours... Great reaction to a great episode.
In the study of epic literature, this is known as aristeia. Each character’s best performance before a fall. So Storm in episode 1, Gambit here. It’s been used at least since the ancient Greeks with the Iliad. So well written
Leech drains mutant powers. Magneto knew this and protected him regardless.
I know Rogue’s last night is the thing everyone is talking about, but Madeline’s line to Cable is what did it for me. Nathan is the one thing she could be certain about, and he lived. 💔
Maybe Leech activating his powers is what makes the sentinel think Magneto is dead.
@@marcelliott1498 I've guessed this is the case.
I came into this knowing that you would be crying
And now I am crying
This is SO GOOD
im glad you spoke about magneto’s death i feel like people didnt really speak much about it
I felt the same way, I'm still not okay
dude watching you go through all the emotions I did when watching this alone felt oddly reassuring, but also this episode is heart-wrenching - can't wait to see how the rest of the season plays out!!
Man I want to thank you for so kindly showing your honest emotional response! So much love and laughter in yours and the fellow watchers lives and cheers :)
Best animated superhero show without a doubt and we still have half a season left!!
It may sound weird, but that image of a rageful Rogue at 10:40 was probably one of the emotional things I've ever seen. I had infinite chills. Marvel Studio Animations are going FULL anime with X-men. Full Dragonball Z.
Still Traumatized 😢😢😢 What an Episode...
You remember what you said about misery and Storm. You think there's better candidates for it now :P
Seeing you become as emotional as I did watching this episode made me subscribe lol. Can't wait to see your reaction to the rest of the season!
The writing is out of this world ! I love this show . ❤
This was very real. My 41 year old self cried too. This series was unexpectedly amazing. They made it for my generation
yeah, Magneto telling leech to not be afraid got me too.
Believe me that was everyone’s face 😂
Was
I hope we are building up to X visor Cyclops.
i appreciate your willingness to be so openly emotional
new subscriber
thank you for the great reaction
Thanks Nerdy! I needed your reaction on this one, you reacted a lot like I did, LOL ... This hit me hard being a Gambit/Rogue fan for over 30 years. So many things in this got me... but losing Gambit like that and having him not know Rogue's true choice, tears me up.... I'm just praying episode 7 'Bright Eyes' (what Rogue calls Cable) will give me hope that Cable can help fix this. Kinda like Bishop did with Xavier in the Animated series
This episode hurts my head so much.
I can feel the stress knowing what happens, and re-watching reviews of it over and over.
I know the show is good, but mentally not healthy for me!
But still like a masocist mourn Gambits death over and over.
It's def like the train wreck you can't get away from looking at.
Having that last line be Rogue reuse her earlier line but in a *very* different context was a helluva way to end the episode. I think that broke us all.
As it has been all season the writing is just too tired, from Kurt being super quotable to the fight with Scott and Jean and realising why Logan's line "I've only seen one of you, just the one" hit Jean so hard she kissed him... To obviously everything Rogue, Remy, and Erik.
Despite how many times we saw him in the old series, he was only ever Cable from 3999, this is the first time they've acknowledged him as Nathan and what a way to do it ... I'm wondering if he'll be the "solution" to what happened, but then do we lose some of the big character growth moments and still leave everyone in messy places .... I need the next episode, lol.
no matter how many times i watch it
it stills tears me up
Gambit didn't get a chance to know that Rogue chose him in the end. 😢😢😢
People really gotta stop bringing that up and making me feel even worse about an incredibly sad turn of events.
Yup. I had that same reaction 😢🥲😢
Enough to make any grown man cry.
While I think this timeline will be reversed eventually (Hence both Cable and the Watcher appearing) I respect the story its telling. Which pulls from some its greatest hits.
Also the soap opera team/ relationship drama is peak X Men comics that I remember most.
Magneto's line about being like Moses and carrying the dream but never living in the Promised Land sure was a great setup.
This may be a strange thing to say, but it gave me joy to watch you react to this episode. The way you moved your chair around or threw your arms up over the crazy things that were happening, plus the vocal outbursts and facial expressions, really made this a whole different experience than watching it for the first time. My favorite part of the episode was Gambit being awesome. I think it was more impactful because we haven't seen him in action that much this season
Wow, this was almost my exact reaction. It was such a roller coaster ride. While crying about Gambit getting stabbed and still getting excited about Gambit’s final move.
I think Jean's situation is complicated even more by her memory issue. The show has had her comment on it a few times, even in the scene under the lake with Logan here, but it's not be the direct focus of an episode yet. It seems to me like her memory is jumbled, out of order with some parts she can barely remember and other things entirely missing. Like her comment at not realizing Wolverine was there is taken by a lot of people as just another jab at wolverine but I think it's intended to show that Jean genuine is missing entire elements of her life, even events she recalls are not intact in her mind. So she has only semi-coherent memories of Cyke and her relationship, she knows she loved him but I get the sense she's seeing all those past events as if through a filter rather than as her own personal experience. She's essentially been forcibly disassociated from her own mind and life. I hope it gets focused at some point because that is an incredibly interesting idea to explore.
IT’S HAPPENING! CLICKED “play” so hard, I think I sprained my freaking thumb! 😅
I guess Nerdy didn't notice The Watcher huh
So I understand the confusion here, and many people have thrown out that what we saw on X-Men ’97 was a Tri-Sentinel, as it has three heads. That is not a Tri-Sentinel. As noted above, it is a Wild Sentinel Master Mold, hence the genesis of this article! As of yet, the Tri-Sentinel has not appeared on X-Men ’97 or X-Men: The Animated Series.
So what is a Tri-Sentinel? It’s pretty much what it sounds like… Loki took three Sentinels and magically mushed them together to attack a power plant, only to be stopped by Spider-Man. It has three faces, six arms, and a bone to pick with Spidey in particular.
To be fair, a Sentinel with three faces is the clear inspiration for the Wild Sentinel mentioned above. But they are different things, so there you go.
I'm so glad they are releasing this on a weekly basis because it's been two weeks and I'm still processing
I think you get lulled into a false sense of happiness and security. You see all these mutants you love, all this joy, and then they punch you in the gut with E is for extinction.
New subscriber because your video was good. yes this was a tear jerker, I dropped a few as well. I expected the relaunch to be a failure but they put cinematics and drama in to it. I'm going to be another fan that waits for the next episode
I was completely in shock. Very powerfull moments there, my hype about the series grown a lot
truly the Queen’s Gambit 😢
That fade to black at the end was diabolical…
So in this universe, "going out like a G" means going out like Gambit!!
Been a couple of weeks and damn that ending still gets me.
Lenore Zann needs an Emmy nomination ASAP!
I still cried watching this after alot of rewatches hahahahaha
Same! I gave it a week to settle and watched a few reaction videos yesterday and lost it again.
I loved your reaction man❤
Perfect thumbnail 😂😭
A lot of people felt the same way.. This was a great episode and mannn the emotional depth it got from me. I was hurt But so proud they are doing this show justice.
Been watching reactions to this all week. Why do I do this to myself? Rogue can touch him now but not feel him, whereas before she could feel him but not touch him.
Magnetos final moment was poignant and beautiful, but also…there’s no way that leech a mutant who lived and grew up in the sewers understands German, so the last thing he heard before he died was pure gibberish.
AMAZING reaction 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 you are the best
Beautifully done my friend.
