We did NOT see that ending coming. What do you want to see now that the X-Men are back?
The ending completely gutted me!!!!
My theories:
The Jean that gave birth is actually Madelyne Pryor
Because of the baby, Scott will be conflict on his position in the team and Storm forces him to leave and be a father by fighting him like in the comics
Both episodes were X-cellent
I love the build up and surprises.
Just enjoying the ride with each episode
I want a Deadpool appearance/cameo (hopefully voiced by Nolan North) and more of the Rogue and Gambit relationship
So storm could go to wakanda for them to help her. She might meet black panther while traveling. This leads to her going with him. 🤔👀
My dumbbb ass thought that was actually Lady Deathstrike until they turned into Colossus and I’m like oh shit yeah….Morph 😂
Same! They did that shit twice and I wasn’t even mad! 😂 I just love seeing more Morph!
nah same 😭 i yelled “NO WAY!! LADY DEATHST….oh it’s just morph” 🤣🤣
Deadass me to lmao
@@GibbySoapBox they got me twice but I can't think of the second time cus I'm just sooo hyped to have this back on our screens
@@achristophera legitttt did the same thing 😭 proper got me man
"Omega level threat detected."
I cackled with glee. Storm is the best. They better do her right.
Magneto’s devotion to his own code and his respect for honor has never wavered. “Don’t make me let you down” is the hardest statement I’ve heard in a long time. That tear drop was crazy!!!
It's amazing how with all those movies, they never got Storm right, and right away, X-Men 97 nailed it. I loved these two episodes. And the early nerfing of Storm is leading to an arc. I am TRUSTING this writing after seeing these two episodes.
Not just Storm but Cyclops, the movies did Cyclops SO dirty by making him such a dork
Exactly. Those FOX-Men films got progressively worse after X2 and even the first two films didn’t quite get the X-Men right.
@@trealstevethe only xmen film that felt like a team is First Class, otherwise they just felt uneven, for people who said “oh there’s a lot of characters to juggle” these 2 episodes with only half an hour each already effortlessly did what Fox couldn’t do
It’s crazy how these two episodes did more justice for cyclops and storm than the whole fox x-men film series
That is so lazy. Trust the writers. What you mean is. You've never read any comics, and your entire base of reference was the animated series. The writers had nothing to do with how xmen movies turned out. That was done to the studio pushing things to appeal to a more white male audience. It's why storm had such a reduced role
They finally got my girl perfect. The Mohawk, the power increase, and they got rid of the corny dialogue. Storm was finally the goddess she should have been. Then they take away her powers and make you FEEL IT. that was brutal.🥺😭
I love corny 😂 dialogue!
Plot twist she's going to go to wauconda
@@shamelrichardson5937 hope to see Forge
Ohhhh snap. Back2wakandaaaa.
I think it was, narratively, a smart decision. It's hard to write a compelling story when you got an "omega level" hero. Thus they showed how powerful she is in order to visualise for the viewer the reason why she had to be removed from the narrative. Else it would be the Captain marvel problem all over again.
Magneto dropped that 1 tear like DENZEL in GLORY. That's that "I'M PISSED OFF TEAR DROP" He knows exactly what he's doing. There's only 1 main thing everyone does when making an omelette.....
"Don't make me let you down." That's such a Malcolm X thing to say
FACTZt!!!!!!😂
I don't think Mags knew that would happen to Storm. Storm and Cyclops shined! Bout time.
I just hope this means we're going to get the leadership duel from the comics!
Cyclops finally showed me something 😅
I’m not mad at Morph being our cameo master 🤩🤩🤩
Yep. Loved the little scene of wolverine vs sabertooth.
My friend said Magneto is giving Prince vibes and hes now "M" the villian formerly known as Magneto 🤣🤣🤣 6:12
Best Storm scene!
“Omega Level Threat Detected” followed by that entrance… always gives me goosebumps😂
Iconic and meme worthy.. the sentinels lost before the fight even started. The fact that the X-Men crew didn't even flinch......as the night lit up for ten seconds was everything. Storm is she
Magneto our stunt queen 🙌🏼👏🏼
😂😂😂😂😂
Yesssss
I was honestly waiting for a mutant birth, and the actual sentiment of Jean expressing that to Storm of all people was the feeling that Black mothers share in common. Just to wish our children were "born human" or at least worthy of human treatment.
I laughed my ass off when Wolverine said "is it apocalypse?!" 😂😂😂
same!!!! 😂
No! It's da baby!
Aw crapp..
He wants smoke 24/7
SAME!!💀💀💀💀
16:39 It’s not two Jean Greys. It’s Jean Grey and Gene Gray. 😂
I’m so locked in on this series smh feel like a Kid again
X-Men 97 is sooo good! Did not disappoint.
I don't know if I can handle badass Cyclops after how badly he's been treated for so long in the movies.
Cyclops is now breathe taking. That landing wow, he's so nimble fighting which is awesome. Wow wow
I’m so bummed Storm lost her powers because that’s scene was soooo epic!! One of the coolest animated X-men scenes ever!! And now we have to go through the whole Forge Storm love story. Hopefully they adapt it and don’t make us go through three years of this.
Let's see Storm go to Wakanda for the heart-shaped herb to bring her powers back
marvel will never do that. They're always tunnel-visioned in that if it's an x-men story then characters rarely interact with non-mutant heroes and showcase a deeper and connected universe. The only time we go that was the wolverine and captain America story
No, she meets Forge, her love interest! Continue following the comics!
@@Bella24Forever F**k forge
@@Bella24Forever I understand… I’m a comic head. Just making fun. We never even got Wesley Snipes for Black Panther when he put up his own cash in the 90s. I’d love to see him marry Halle Berry Storm in an MCU Wakanda
@@droskie5 I’ve lived thru all of this. Gotta love the Collector. And in so doing I own an 80 year collection of superheroes live action film and tv series along with cartoon animation of entire series I’ve collected in the Marvel brand of superhero comics. I saw Blade in theaters with my father, who passed before the first avengers had assembled.
Asking how to ground and multiverse in Spider-Man 4 is as easy as reviewing TAS where Carnage & Venom crash a Stark expo, Warmachine and Spidey intervene, and with Stark pulling out the tech ends up in the hands of Kingpin, enter a daredevil atom holland storyline, the time dilation portal projector creates the Spot, enter live action Miles Morales,… which Madame Web’s film should have had Sony birth in 2003, rather than a privileged Peter not attached to any film. Had Mike Epps been Officer Jefferson Davis, Donald Glover setup as Prowler Aaron Davis would be evident, let alone 2018, Miles would be 15 & Into the Spideverse
THANKS for this, BreakRoom!!! I, too, was shocked at how well-done it was!!! YAY!!!!
Gambit, I can treat you better than Rogue can😘❤️
They also had access to plenty of those inhibitor collars so there was no reason Rouge couldn't slap one on in the bedroom for ol Gambit. She made her choice! 😂
😂😂😂😂
😰 dude..
Yes! Even as a teenager I was like "Girl, keep that collar!"
I didn't think of that. You right!
Ha that was really funny
"don't make me let you down" about Magneto taking the tribunal to the atmosphere got me 💀💀🤣🤣🤣 masterclass punnery sir
Either Storm is gonna run to Forge like she does in Lifedeath...or maybe she seeks out her other boo, The King of Wakanda.
If she goes to wakanda ima freak out
I think I am the only who wanted her and Forge together. Better than Black Panther.
Check out the list of episodes titles.
Magneto didn't set up the shot, he's been on a redemption arc since Asteroid M.
Ultimate Magneto is a irredeemable bastard and would have set that up.
Am still not ruling Magneto setup out just yet.....
He just turn good cold turkey???!
@@leonardobraynen1524not cold turkey. After Astroid M he spiraled into a depression but also reunited with his children. When Xavier was assassinated he relapsed and almost went full Mutant warfare on humanity but dialed it back to give Xavier one last fighting chance to live and for the last year has been in isolation, hopefully making amends with Wanda and Pietro.
@@leonardobraynen1524people don't just change cold turkey. There are subtle nuances in their behavior that show you, and that goes over time. It's called character development. It's the reason people like the Hulk aren't mindless idiots. Or why Magneto is a hero in the comics now.
@@notmephisto1375 thank you for pointing that out.
You got J Washington, ive been looking for his take on X-Men✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
"Your bitchassness has changed"🤣🤣🤣🤣. I had to subscribe because I'm so tired of folks acting like X-Men just got woke all of a sudden. This series is cooking the anti-woke crowd and I'm all for it
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 yesss
I love that we do have Jessica & JAY like the chocolate 🍫 Wonder Twins commentating here today.
The three of y'all chemistry is epic. I'm over here hollering 🤣 😂. I love New X-Men 97' Is EVERYTHING
It looks like Wolverine got a hold of the X’Cutioner’s face in the past by them claw marks
I know. Strange no one has mentioned it.
@@artwithmichael5547 it's right there literally in your face, Heavy Spoilers brought it up but mentioned it was Sabretooth who did it, for comment engagement
Magneto being the leader in "One Man's Worth" was based on the Age of Apocalypse saga where Magneto led the team and was married Rogue and had a son named Charles with her.
😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳
Omg the copper/ mystique and magneto working together on this makes complete sense.
18:21 even calling Storm En Vouge, a fad was a ridiculous 90s referring to Never Gonna Get It, Hold On, 97 is going in.
7:44 - they way I yelled at my monitor........
Say it again for the people in the BACK!!!!
Hey Magneto, can you assist with a whole US Government situation we got going on here? You can bring your sleeveless muscle suit too.
38:13 this panel is all my personalities meeting to talk about the first 2 episodes 😂
Prof X is in the opening credits so he is likely alive
Right!
I was impressed with the way Jubilee pushed Wolverine back with her plasma sparks and her dancing animation. I loved seeing Storm wreck those sentinels. There are probably a lot of people who confuse Cyclops' optic blasts with Superman's heat vision.
The Apocalypse line was HILARIOUS
I sorta feel like Apocalypse will trick Storm into becoming a horseman and thats how she'll get her powers back
Interesting!
I think baby Nathan summers will reboot storm powers
That baby supposed to be the strongest in the mutant race
That alt world where Magneto was leader was WILD. The X-men are also fighting Marvel heroes in that universe. The Avengers (minus the heaviest hitters) and Daredevil I believe. And I did like the AoA vibes giving us Mimic and Blink.
I definitely got Mystique vibes from Copper too
Same.
Mystique and Magneto are still close
Yea and certain scenes the way she was lookin at him was a little strange to me almost like a romantic look
Soooo many moments that sent literal chills down my spine… when Magneto said “Don’t let me, let YOU down” he meant that shit, and I felt it in my bones lol… that was his fuck around and find out moment 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
This isn't the first time Scott fell out of a plane
That shot was SO well done.
Cyclops bouncing around the room beating up dudes all from his eye beam was pretty dope 😂 I didn’t know Scott could get down like that
18:47 my point exactly
Yeah love cyclops
@@FourLegSharkthis made me love him even more
@@J.O.R.D yeah I hope they do him justice when it comes to live action
@@FourLegShark I hope they do the whole team justice but 100%
People been hatin on my boy Cyke. He is Capt America level badass. Play him in any of the Capcom games, and you'll see what I'm talkin bout!!! CotA, M-Superheroes, MvC 1&2
I was too baked watching these, they got me with Morph’s Deathstrike then when Jean showed up at the end I was like wait how much time has passed since they left the mansion, after just watching them talk in that room 😅😂 then I see Scott and Jean in the back and it all just hits me like wait that’s Madelyne Scott just had a baby with? Which makes sense as Nathan is Cable, son to Scott and Madelyne, like I said, too baked 😂
New rockstars you really need to go back and read the 90’s X-men. So much of what happened on the show was based on what was happening in the comics at the time with slight variations. It looks like they’re following the same pattern.
It was sick as hell seeing Wolverine take the head off of Master Mould but my boy was landing roughhh after that one 😅
Best scene was wolverine thinking apocalypse was at the mansion
Ep 1 gives us a mutant that can absorb radiation. Ep 2 takes out a mutant with radiation. Hmmm...
Yes radiation can be a dangerous thing
I got chills watching . So good.
I wasn't expecting them to take down my girl Storm I hope she gets them back
I can't wait to see ma boi Nightcrawler!
This show gets everything RIGHT! I trust the vision and the direction they're going in.
I loved listening to you guys talking about this amazing show, thank you breakroom!
“You can’t HANDLE my midriff!
Picture Cyclops having a pair of boots where he can use the optic blasts to fly,
That was an amazing scene of him using his blasts to land
As someone who didn't grow up with The Animated Series, But is a Big Fan Of The X-Men, These Two Episodes Were Fantastic!!! It made Me really Happy to see a really Great Cyclops in these Episodes because while I Love The X-Men Movies, Cyclops never got to do that much in them, So It's Nice to see Him Be The Leader that He is! And it was So Sad to see Storm lose her Powers! I hope we do see her again at somepoint because She is Such A Great Character! But Magneto was The Star of These Episodes In My Opinion. To see a Version of Him where He's This Antihero who's Leading The X-Men is So Fascinating! He's such a Great Character! And I Loved the use of "To Me, My X-Men" from both Scott and Magneto. And The Animation was Phenomenal and The Intro with The Iconic Theme Song! These Two Episodes were just Amazing!!! 10/10!!! I'm very Excited to see what Happens Next!!!
Gambit had potential to be omega level but that was before he went to mister sinister oh and scarlet witch is too
It a theory that Mr Sinister is Gambit father.
@@sophiawilson8696 That's incredible I would love to see that take either on comics or media
I think when Jean had that vision I think she saw Amahl Farouk aka Shadow King. Now with Prof.X out of the picture and Jean distracted with Nathan, its possible that the Shadow King emerged from the Astral plane once more. Storm having lost her powers may go visit her son and then be tempted by the shadow king who may be able to restore her abilities in exchange for something.
I like that theory! Definitely Shadow King has history with Storm when Mijnari was possessed. Could be how Charles comes back in, on the Astral Plane to defend her, too.
Her son?
@@CBExpress it's possible that how be returns even if just briefly
@@sophiawilson8696 Her God Son, Mj'Nari.
Professor X is literally in the theme sequence.
A Reminder though, when the X-Men Animated Series was playing in the 90s.. They weren't really separated from the rest of the Marvel Universe. There had been cameos of other Marvel characters in the cartoon (Captain America, Spider Man, Ms Marvel, The Avengers was in that alternate world sequence vs the X-Men and Magneto.) Which is why in X-Men 97 they still have properties like a Starks Industry sign, or the Daily Bugel paper that flies by the Camera.
THAT MYSTIQUE THEORY!!!!!
16:40 TWWOOOOOOO JEAAAAN GRAAAAAYYSSSSS???
I really don't want Magneto to have planned everything. I do think it is fine if he expected rioters to break through and he will have intervene to show his goodwill, but I really want him to genuinely want to protect them all, and would not do something like take away Storm's mutation.
The fact that Magneto being able to be redeemed feels important that his crusade was genuine, and the demonisation of freedom fighters who don't do things the cleanest way are not lost.
Jessicas blow out is serving. ❤
We have the X-men, we have the acolytes , we have the brotherhood , we have the morlocks, and then the government teams of mutants . I am not going to mention all the other non mutant focused teams or the mutates or magic users .
i loled so hard at the jean/wolv scene
Give em the forecast! Who knew Scott had bars?
Charles is already back. He's in Magneto's mind. And I bet we get Onslaught in season 2.
Aaaaaand Age of Apocalypse in S3 o4? 🤩🤩🤩
Would. Be. EPIC
JUSTICE FOR STORM!!!
I’m loving how you all are theorizing the masterminding of Magneto!
Today has been better than my birthday! 🧬
In the comics, Omega level doesn’t mean you’re the best in your ability, it means that you haven’t reach the limits of your ability.
The fact that Professor X needs Cerebro shows that he has a limit hence not Omega but an alpha.
Great Episode!!! I loved the dynamic
I hate that they nerfed Storm in episode 2. Hope it doesn’t last long. It was awesome though!
I like it, I think it could lead to an interesting arc for her. Besides, she probably won’t stay powerless. We’ll get to see plenty of her either later on the season or in the next one.
Imagine if she meets T'Challa?! She deserves her King.
In Age of Apocalypse, Rogue and Magneto were a couple and had a kid. Cooper was Mystique in the comics.
I love that Morph goes to the door and says “She’s ba-ack!” but instead of Storm, it’s Jean. Can the writers even get enough credit for this?
Him saying that's Mystique posing as Val Cooper turned such a huge lightbulb on in my brain because Mystique actually does do that in the comics.
Great video guys!
The queen of hearts card is the new photo of Jean and cyclops
Great job, all. Thanks for making such great and honest content for us all.
I've always loved Scott Summers/ Cyclops.
I've always been so surprised by everyone's disfavor of him - from the studio execs and the writers, all the way to fellow fans of superhero stories of mythologies.
Glad to see appropriate improvements being made towards Scott, and I am also extremely excited to see how the rest of X-Men '97 is going to turn out!
Great show, and thank you for sharing!
Man I love yall ❤ literally y’all 3 had me cryingggg
First off this show is pure gold…secondly WOW I didn’t realize but you’re absolutely right, THATS DEFINITELY MYSTIQUE!!!!
I agree. Cooper is Mystique. She wasn't scared when Magneto was doing his thing because she wasn't in any real danger because she could transform into a flyer, and when humans are in major danger it's because of what she orchestrated. She was even visibly sad about Storm getting depleted of her power.
I’d say Magz planned the whole trial thing, but not the executioner being there. He was PISSED about storm! He shed a tear. Earlier he said she’s the closest thing to a Goddess earth will ever witness and he MEANT that. Storm losing her powers was literally the biggest blow to Magneto’s ego because she was a representation of Godhood made flesh in his eyes. The embodiment of what mutant kind could be.
This was the best episode of this show!!!!! talking about the Breakroom!
I'm back. Love you guys!
Justice for leech 😂😂😂😂
Loving the season so far 🥰 and thank you Brandon for that deep cut wrestling reference! classic 👌🏽
I absolutely loved these episodes! Holy Crap!
Ya'll spittin bars!!!! Love this group giving their review. Keep this group reviewing the show
Awesome breakdown! Look forward to other X-men97 content
4:47 🤣🤣🤣
5:10 YES! The desk lean!
😆🔥🥵🔥😆
5:27 🙌 Yes Jessica. I think we all felt the same 😜😆
Storm can suffocate, dehydrate, change atmospheric pressure, and crush them. 3:40
Storm opens her own coffeshop location, starts franchising, names it Stormbucks with a logo of her face wth 2 lightning symbols on each side. She eventually realizes the elements have never truly left her mind and heart. She's goes to the roof of headquarters, connects with her ancestors, gets struck by lightning and regains her powers.
I LOVE Brandon's sweatshirt!!!!
Yeah that “don’t make me let you down” line was to cold ! I was like shiiiiit 😭😭😭
That cyclops superhero landing is top 3 all time .
