"Sugar, I cant feel you.." This moment hits harder than ANYTHING in any form of media in recent memory. Days later and I'm still emotional over this episode ending.
Just reminded me of Wanda and Vision and the parallel made it hurt more! 😫
shit hit me hard but there’s other projects for me that hit the same
I;ve seen like 20 reaction videos and that still makes me cry....
I can't even read that line right now without tearing up.
@liladdy42590 That's immediately where I went. WandaVision is still my favorite of the MCU shows. So that reminder, especially with my favorite XMen character is just 😭
X-men 97 said: “All you 90’s fans are grown up now… welcome to the trauma of adulthood.”
90s fans been in the trauma since then....reading the comics prepared us well. '93: Magneto ripped apart both Cable and Wolverine in same storyline
facts, this was so made for us 90's watchers!!
Well that's lucky really..because
Transformers 84 fans..'hey kids..want to experience early trauma'.
basically
"Y'all think you grown now? We'll see."
JAY: “The extent to which this cartoon is not effing around is, like, kind of incredible.”
EVERYONE WHO’D ALREADY SEEN THE EPISODE: *trauma-stares into the middle-distance*
E M O T I O N A L D A M A G E
Man, this is a bar!
lol I’m so happy to see I wasn’t the only one who suffered emotional damage. I wasn’t prepared for this show to hit this hard
A very emotional episode. You have love triangles going on. The line " I can't feel you is heavy" !
🎵 Hello darkness, my old friend..... 🎵
This episode was so big even the Watcher made a cameo.
So big that many didn’t even clock it
@@Knightowl1980to be fair it is very subtle and easy to miss.
@@foulrot Well, easy for those of us who were silly and didn't watch this episode on a big screen. Myself included.
The Watcher being there makes me think it was something that can't be changed.
When was he in it?
I've never seen a reviewer hit the denial stage of grief so hard.
And so fast 😂 In about three seconds, he went from shock to tears to repeating "no, no, just no" a million times 😂
Clearly you’ve never seen someone cover the Season
Two finale of *Young Justice*
The Arrow episode “11:59” had a similar response in other fandoms
His name is Gambit, mon amies. We will always remember it.
"Gambit, how often must the scoundrel prove himself a hero before he believes it himself?" 😭
@@josh924 Did Beast or Xavier say that to him?
@aaronhenley4741 They were the Professor's last words to Gambit.
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.
What a great comment
Mine, too! Even named my dog Gambit back in 1994. He was saucy as his namesake!
I'm pretending I didn't die watching this episode. Everything's fine.
Gambit made a sacrifice to save his Queen, Rouge
The fact that they did this during the fucking E for extinction story by Morrinson is fucking crazy then adding Erik’s and Remy’s death I so want some time travel bullshit or I’m gonna riot
Preach it
Gambit died not knowing Rogue chose him
Stop 😭
I’ve cried enough… why would u say such a thing out loud?
His love was so deep he didn't care as long as he saved her what a gigachad
(in chess) an opening or end play in which a player makes a sacrifice, typically of a pawn, for the sake of some compensating advantage. The definition of a Gambit. Often in use to save the king or queen. What queen did Gambit sacrifice for?
He lived up to his name. A sacrifice for something he viewed greater than himself.
At the end of the original animated series, Prof X, the last words to Gambit were, "How many times must the scoundrel play the hero before he believes it?"
He still saved her life repeatedly.
Magneto said in episode two: Oh, to play by the rules & still they come for you. The day Genosha gets recognized as a nation, it's attacked.
It's crazy that when I saw cable say "I'm sorry mom" then everything after my FIRST THOUGHT was "oh noooo... Jay and Adam are gonna cry"
And that means I'm gonna cry
How did Madelyn know Cable’s name? Did they meet earlier and I missed it?
I want to believe, somewhere, there is a happily shattered Chris Claremont sitting in a comfy chair, a single tear rolling down his cheek thinking, “they finally got my kids right.”
That "hab keine angst" and the "I can't feel you..." just really, really got me.
THEY SHOULD BE AVENGED
"Gambit! How many times did we see the scoundrel prove himself a hero before he started to believe it himself?" Professor X.
This series has no business being as good as it is. Honestly would melt my 12 yr old brain if I saw this back then.
11 year old me would've been wreaked for weeks after this episode.
@@adamolupinAnd then you remember that next episode is LifeDeath part 2
@@adamolupin now adult you gets to be wrecked for weeks instead :D
The fact that, after having THAT flashback, Magneto attacks the giant sentinel with a freaking TRAIN is poetic as hell (and Magneto's last words being 'hab keine angst' was amazing as well)
I was going to point this out -- a Holocaust survivor using a train as a weapon is all kinds of great symbolism.
He was also using the train a a whip, and genosha used to be a mutant slave colony
Duuuuude. That’s fucking….
Wow. Solid point.
Huuuuu I never even looked that deep into it PHUK
@@Batcow-1138i think you're seeing too much
Today's reaction was brought to you by the letter E...for Extinction.
This episode motivated me to read the New X-Men series from 2001 and I. Am. _Hooked._
+brianewing5778
*I see what you did there*
@@TheFiddleFaddle Morrison's run is amazing. I had to work hard to get past the inconsistent art, though.
This reminds me of what the U.S is doing to Palestine 🇵🇸
@@yermatedave4930 Yeah, the writing is great but the art is certainly all over the place 😂
I wasn't prepared for my Saturday morning kids cartoon to be spliced with the red wedding.
Oof, good call
Not a kids show.
@@Kalex92 I would agree with you, I merely mean that a large part of the audience - myself included - remembers it that way from their own childhood.
luckily X men has undo buttons. The red wedding didnt. U.U
The red wedding is nothing to this. The death of a family vs the massacre of a community
“Hab keine angst” were very likely Erik’s parents’ final words to him, knowing full well what would happen. And now he does the same for Leech. Thunderstruck.
I'm thunderstruck sweet little Leech had his power under control the entire time
@@2nd3rd1st Of course he would. He's in the very eye of the hurricane with one of the most powerful mutants to walk the Earth. One who MEANT IT when promised he should never again be afraid. Erik was willing to lay down his life, and did. Children know.
Oh I never put that together, that just hits so hard.
As a guy of German heritage who grew up speaking german with my grandparents and took German in high school, hearing Magneto revert back to his native tongue at the end, knowing his backstory with the Holocaust and everything…I was already a sobbing mess BEFORE Rogue and Gambit went off at the end
I watched this episode and said "Jay & Adam are not going to be ok after this." Magneto also said to Leech "don't be afraid" in German right before the big explosion.
Him saying "Do not be afraid" in German makes it feel like he was saying it more to himself than Leech, because I dont think Leech understands German.
I don't think he's dead. I think there are shenanigans afoot. Cable was attempting to change the timeline again. He evem says so when he bodyslides. I believe omega threat neutralised means leech depowered him. Think it would be fitting for magneto to be saved by a mutant he wouldn't have given the time of day.
@@morgan.williams76Leech depowering him would just ensure that he’s dead. No magnetism, no force field. The Wild Sentinel said Omega level threat neutralized after the big explosion.
@@morgan.williams76 my only issue with the Leech theory is how did they survive the blast if Magneto had no powers to make the shield? I don't think the Sentinel stopped firing the exact second Magneto's powers would drop.
@@Darkgod777The Wild Sentinel said Omega Threat Eliminated actually and I do agree he is dead for nit just him but other mutants that was around his shield also got caught by the blast radius.
“That was the coolest fucking thing I’ve ever seen” yeah, my dude went out like a boss❤️🔥
I think that Cable being there and saying "Not again", paired with the Watcher looming overhead implies its a Nexus event and cant be changed
I have the same feeling. Magneto isn't actually dead or else we'd have seen his body, likely Leech drained his power to make it look like he was dead. Gambit will likely come back as one of Apocalypse's horsemen.
@foulrot that's the first thing I thought but if he is dead then we're going to see cyclops on the warpath.
Maybe it’s just very difficult to “troubleshoot,” like both Cable and Bishop returning to deal with the Techno-Virus Plague without ruining future outcomes. But looping over and over, seeing people slaughtered - I’d think “not again” too.
@@foulrotthat would cheapen and deaden everything that just happened. it would be the most cowardly move a writer could make.
This episode also made a point of introducing Moira McTaggart. In 2019 it was revealed that she was actually a mutant who can reset the timeline through a reincarnation power where she retains memories of her past life like reseting a game. Then she was depowered by the same gun that shot storm in episode 2 while Sinister cloned her with her reincarnation power intact, calling them his "Moira Engine" and using them to manipulate the timeline to perfect his plans.
Original Moira has also become an insane villain in recent years and uploaded her mind to an android body after a future Wolverine killed her.
"Gambit, How often must the scoundrel prove himself the hero before he believes it himself." Charles Xavier's last words to Gambit. X-Men season 5 episode 10.
Something I just noticed, which was pointed out by Erik from New Rockstars, after Magneto flashes back to the Holocaust, what does he use to fight the Sentenel? A train, just like he and his kind were taken to the death camps on.
God, if this doesn't end up being the best show of the year, I don't know what will be.
Invincible, shogun, fallout looks to be off to a promising start (I'm 3 episodes in). But this is by far the best TV show marvel has put out. Leave it to the xmen animated series to rock everyone's world.
@@mattquinn2215Invincible is also good but X-Men 97 is on another level of awesomeness...
I really lost it when Magneto looked down at Leech hanging onto him and solemnly said "do not be afraid."
*HAVE NO FEAR* sounds way more epic, which i think is the literal German Translation.
When Magneto says "We shall not live our days wondering if we could have saved more" it reminded me of the speech at the end of Schindler's List when Oskar Schindler says "I could have got more out, I could of got more"
Maybe he saw schendlers list too 😊
I feel like that had to be a direct reference, didn't it? It's too spot on.
"The name is Gambit, mon ami. Remember it". Probably his most famous from the original animated series, and he says it while going out like a boss. Rip Gambit
"Your heart may beat for me but I can't feel it" Then later: Rogue sobbing over Remy's body, her hand on his chest.
This was single handedly one of the BEST TV animated episodes ever, and that's including anything from TCW, which is really hard to beat, by the way.
Can we talk about the sound design from this episode? Chills.
I believe the Watcher is in the background before everything goes wrong. In the comics, when the Watcher shows up, something big is about to go down... And boy did it
Not only something big, usually a nexus event that can't be changed as a whole, just the details.
@@foulrot the Watcher also observed events that could have happened if big time events had one minor detail changed. He knew at least two ways the superhero Civil War could have played out in the comics. Those 2 events were shown to Tony Stark.
The “I can’t feel you” was very similar to Wanda seeing visions corpse
It really works here on so many levels that one can't possibly be upset about that line.
I really want to know whether that was a deliberate reference or just a coincidence. 🤔
@@MetalPharoah I don't really think anyone's upset, even real people with no superpowers have cried out I can't feel you to a love on. Just a very sad moment when you realize they aren't in their body anymore, just gone.
Offers the same gut punch too
It was purposely done for sure. That isn't a coincidence.
I love how Adam was shaking his head in disbelief and denial like nah nah this ain't happening nah 😂😂😂
Adam hit that "denial" stage of grief HARD.
@@foulrot I think we all did when first watching this
Im not in denile. Im sill betting on some sort of reset button.
@@skyhimeI believe this may be a nexus event so many hints towards it the watcher, cable my guess is magneto was saved by leech somehow and gambit will come back as a horseman the others however will be gone.
@@Mcherri😱😱😱😱
i kinda remember that from the comics. If thats the path to omega lvl Gambit, ill take it!
This episode was essentially Beau DeMayo's pitch to Marvel in 2020 for making this revival of the show.
I can't even imagine what we're getting in the next 5 episodes 🤯
The fact that he was fired after making *this* is a travesty. So far I haven't heard any reasons why he was fired other than "he's hard to work with". But, shit, most of my colleagues are hard to work with, and they don't get fired as long as they do good work 😅
@@IceMetalPunk I had heard it was likely for having an Only fans, but who knows 🤷♂️ I feel like that shouldn't have impact on other jobs
@@alexkramerblogs yea I seen that online too ..like could that really be the reason he was fired?!? And what's crazy he went on social media after this episode and said this was only a warm up..the next few episodes are gonna be crazy.
I’m from the future. They did not disappoint.
I haven’t been this shocked and heartbroken at an episode of tv since The Red Wedding in Game Of Thrones. I was in tears throughout the last 5 minutes.
X-Men 97 is officially the best Marvel show ever made!
"I can't feel you" omg 😭 that callback to Wandavision DESTROYED me
I bet that was the intention 😢
Must they make us tear bend???
How can they do so much right for my boi Remy than have him do the most badass sacrifice ever......then end with that. Oh the stunned silence and tears I was in, absolutely amazing and something that will stick with me forever
"THEY SHALL BE AVENGED!!!"
Magneto's line in German saying: "Don't be afraid".... hits so hard. So much tenderness and sorrow in that line.
And Gambit????? The freaking coolest mofo this side of the MCU
The song choice was so amazing because context changed it from sensual to ominous seemlessly the moment Madelyne had her vision.
Plus the lyrics fit so well with the whole concept of Genosha.
This episode had so many jaw dropping moments I couldn't believe.
From Jean and Wolverine kissing,to Cyclops snapping on the reporter,to the reveal of Madeline and Cyclops's psychic Affair,to seeing Nightcrawler and Dazzler,Rogue and Gambit breaking up,Rogue and Magneto's dance and finally that final attack by the sentinels.
This 1 episode surpassed the entire Fox Adaptation of the Xmen.
MAGNETO "WE WILL NOT LIVE OUR LIVES WONDERING IF WE COULDVE SAVED MORE"
GAMBIT" GAMBIT SEES YOUR BET AND RAISE IT!!"
Final badass words from Gambit,
*THE NAME'S GAMBIT- REMEMBER IT!!!*
Exactly!
Magneto, Master of Magnetism
King of the Clapback
Stealer of your girls
Cyclops turning into the take no BS version from the comics is my fave.
Nothing he was was incorrect either, he was 100% right.
@@foulrot YUP
Everytime I think this show reaches its peak, a new episode comes out and shatters my expectations. By the time the season is done this could end up being the best thing in TV/Film Marvel have ever put out (outside of Infinity war/Endgame, which had 10 years of runup to enhance it)
The show runner made a tweet saying something along the lines of "If you thought episode 5 was intense, you havent seen anything yet"... I'm scared
@@foulrot Especially which storyline they are rumored to be adapting for the 3 part finale.
@@cruelangel8689And when you remember we are getting LifeDeath part 2 for the next episode
Remember the moment in Vox Machina when Vex died? The "Do not go far from me..." bit at the end? Exactly the same feelings after this one.
Honestly, I think this is much worse. Vox Machina's moment was sad, but this was an entire goddamned genocide around the core character death and mourning.
@@IceMetalPunk I'd agree! I just got the same feeling after the episode did the cut-to-black ending.
Gambit died not knowing rogue chose him in the end
💔 the sugar i cant feel you line broke 💔 me
I have never, EVER been as shocked as i was at the end of this episode. That final line from Rogue just pushed it over the edge. Holy crap…..
Leave it to an animated nosebleed to make it feel like we were in fact walking into a Red Wedding. Hope you boys are doing okay because this Slop Goblin still isn't
Adam's reaction at 18:20 is basically me.
I'M STILL NOT OKAY.
13:20 around this time when you 1st see the fireworks outside you also see the WATCHER.
I just watched the first episode again for the first timafter seeing this. Didn't realize Madelyne's Mastermold vision had the Ace of Base song, Cable's last words to her, and his silhouette in the dust.
“No, no, nope, walls up, I refuse, I’m not playing your game, that’s was too cool… NOOOO” literally me brotha this was too good. Cable has to try again
rare that they both tear up that much at the same time. When that happens theres noone to say "you ok bud?"
Boys... This is why you two are my favorites on CZcams.
Not only do you understand most of the lore behind all of this, pick up in all the small details that most miss, but you are both right into it. It hit me when I watched it, but I got really emotional watching you two react.
Can't wait to see what comes next!! 🥹
If you're not already watching them, I'd also recommend Fandom Zone. They're an Australian couple -- Trent and Julia -- who react to nerdy stuff, too, and Trent knows the comics inside and out. When they watched this episode... let's just say Trent was not okay when he realized which storyline was happening about 60 seconds before the drop 😅
Beau De Mayo said this episode was his pitch that made him got the Show. Also, he said that he made this thinking in 9/11 and what happend in Pulse disco in Orlando. This is why is so choking. as the victims in those terrorist atacks, no one expected it...
Rogues words "Sugar, I can't feel you.." had me sobbing like a child, so sad #pReviewd this show is amazing
This was the best episode so far. The build up to the destruction of Genosha was everything. The music was already feeling ominous even before Madeline had that psychic flash of hearing Cable telling them to turn off the music. This effing great
Jay scatting the opening theme is *chef's kiss
Also this episode is getting 1/1 hidden Watcher easter egg in the Genosha skies
The intensity and movement in both of your eyes from 14:00 on! 😲 Truly invested, great reaction video.
Fun fact Gambit in his first appearances he nearly killed all the morlocks, so to have him save them, is fucking amazing. He is the only gambit that has been able to fully redeem himself for that, and for them to do that right before he died is so fantastic. He always saw himself as a horrid person but you can tell in this moment he finally accepted himself as an x-men and hero
I’ve been waiting for this and you guys did not disappoint.
It’s comforting knowing I’m not the only one who cried at the end. 💔
You two ARE the droids we've been looking for. It doesn't feel like I've officially "watched" an episode of anything without seeing your reactions. Viewing anything is a 2-part experience: Watch Hawkeye, watch the boys react; watch No Way Home, watch the boys react; watch X-MEN explode my head, watch the boys' heads explode.
Been waiting for this reaction since Wednesday!
I HAVE BEEN WAITINT FOR THIS REACTION LMAO. Alright, 24 minutes - I anticipate Adam and Jay will be as messed up as the rest of us after this.
I mean, they thought it was "serious" and "intense" when Remy friendzoned himself... they had no idea what was coming 😂
The level of courage with the adult conversations and terrifying stakes this show has shown. I know it's the X-Men & I know no one ever stays dead in the comics, but Beau & the rest of the team have it in them to keep Gambit dead for a long time just to really cinch in the stakes of what's happening. Cable might actually fail on this Edge of Tomorrow path. I think after reading what Beau said about the Pulse Nightclub and 9/11 with regards to the approach to this show, all of us who grew up with this show are seeing that passage of time in our lives now. We're older and this show is paralleling us. And it shows that we don't have superhero fatigue - we just want the stories to reflect the real-life realities. And of all things, Disney+ has arguably had three of the best shows the last couple of years - Andor, Shogun and now this.
The world has its way of ripping us from the innocence of our youth. Our Saturday morning X-men cartoon no longer exists. Those of us who grew up with these shows have seen enough to know that the world is not a happy place. Our safe spaces, our sanctuaries aren’t as safe as we believe them to be. This is why this show hits us so hard. Yes, it’s great to see our heroes use their powers in cool and awesome ways, but at the end of the day, they’re just doing their best, just like we all are, and like us, they don’t always get the win. There are some points in time that can’t be undone and this might be one. With both Charles and Magneto gone, it feels as though the coin has been tossed, the X-men will need to decide on which side they land. I’m a little scared y’all.
The last line of this episode hits me each time I see it ... absolute waterworks.😢
I love how this episode makes everyone go, "Cable's HERE! Ohhhhhhh SH*T Cable's here..." And my comment from last week holds up. This is adult X-Men
The Watcher! Did you see him in the night sky before the ball?
This is so well written…incredible really.
Every fan of Gambit felt that. A beloved hero sacrifice.😢
I'm watching this video again. Your reactions are just so damn raw and honest.
I think this is one of the few times that we are all super excited to use time travel to fix the deaths. Like how many times have we been like ‘of course they will find a way to bring them back 🙄’ and this time it’s ‘you better find a way to bring them back!!! 😭’
12:04 “this show is serious”
Me “honey…you’ve got a big storm comin’ “
This episode give me the same mouth drop kick in the stomach feeling like when Jean Grey kills Professor X in Xmen-Last Stand
Best line outside of *REMEMBER IT* was Gambit saying,
*I SEE YO BET AND RAISE IT!!!!!*
Me: I’m fine. This is fine.
Rogue: “Sugar, I can’t feel you…”
Me: Nevermind. I am not okay. 😭
Great reaction!!! I'm so glad I'm not the only one that feels that way about Gambit. Gambit was finally let off the chain to just highlight how awesome hes ALWAYS been!!!
“Sugar I can’t feel you” That line hits so hard and then the fade to black with theme song playing so slowly and eerily. A week later and I’m still in shock.
I was waiting specifically for your reactions because you guys have the most authentic empathy on CZcams and I wanted to know it gut punched someone else the way it gut punched me. Not that I want you guys to be sad! It just is a bit cathartic for me to know I'm not alone haha
So many cameos and references and god what a turn! Best episode I've seen all year
Honestly I’ve been waiting for this reaction the most since I watched the episode. Not that I want to see you guys suffer, but I mean. WHAT AN EPISODE.
I could not rest until I saw u guys react to this. Love u guys.
Adam going full Tracy Morgan in Cop Out is everything. 🤣
The dialogues in this episode *chef's kiss*
There was such good voice acting in this. My favorite being Madeline saying to Cable “you made it”. Heartbreaking
This is why I love your channel, guys! I feel like I'm too emotional at times but seeing you all react the same way, feeling the raw emotion that good television, film, any media can bring!
I’ve been checking for this video multiple times daily for a few days… and now I’m on a work shift with no break… Ain’t that just peachy.
I've needed a good art reference for 'deer in headlights' expressions and I think everything after the wild sentineal fires it's first blast does the job... 🤣
“Sugar..? I can’t feel you” makes me feel like that meme of the kid laying outside in the rain
Theres a moment right before the party where the overhead shot of Genosha has The Watcher in the sky with stars as his eyes. Almost as if this moment is so pivitol in the multiverse he had to be a witness.
Oh man, they missed the Watcher chillin' in the sky. As soon as I saw him, I was like "Uh oh..."
If they keep to the way the Genosha genocide happens I'm the comics, then 16 million mutants just died.
i cried because i can't feel you is the same sentence i said to my sister when our mother died in the hospital.... this episode is like one of the best episodes from game of thrones... this series is even better than the og series...
"Sugar, I can't feel you." I rewatched the episode, and "touch" was a running motif through ALL of the storylines. Horribly soul-wrenching!
You guys missed the faint silhouette of The Watcher in the night sky right before the reveal of Cable.
This is why this is one of my favorite react channels. Pure emotion.
For people like me who only had the first 13 episodes in the 90's on perpetual rerun cause FOX syndicated all the other seasons, this Xmen 97 makes so much sense
Guys if u look in the left side of the sky during the fireworks scene u can see the watcher watching the pivotal moment unfold.
Oh god - i just realized - next ep is 2nd half of Storm's story. Storm's been kind of off the grid, so when she finds out... oh my
the scoundrel finally proved himself a true hero
