Hello there!
There was a story you forgot to mention in the video it's from The Cable and deadpool issue 26 and 27 where we see the origin of Young nathan(Cable) under the identity of man called the Traveler,going back in time years to stop Apocalypse from gaining contact with the celestial ship
Hey variant, can u tell me or make a video about what the most powerful alternate versions of swamp thing are and all about them, thanks
@@kingshadow8782❤p
Onslaught, Apocalypse, Rama tut/Kang the conqueror
wow
possibly we get young kang and old kang. though latter is more likely only.
Wolverine as a “background” character SHOCKED YOU??? Logan’s always been transient…passing through. This is literally how he was in The Comics, except for Wolvie’s spin-offs or miniseries. This why we LOVE X-Men and X-Men97!!!
wolverine wasn't a background character in xmen comics he would have never taken off in popularity if he was........he was an important member of the team much like cyclops or storm
Wolverine as a background shocked you? He was the main lead for most movies, it made sense for him to be a background character.
Agreed
That's why it shocked him lol, they usually give wolverine the most screen time.
It’s shocking only because they know casual fans that they want to also bring in would likely want to see more of that character and Marvel like other companies usually force writers to use the most marketable character.
@rayparker4231 Marvel didn't do any of the xmen or wolverine movies. The rights were owned by Fox. Once Disney bought out Fox Marvel retained the rights so now you can see the real xmen content like Xmen 97. In the comics Wolverine isn't the main focus.
@@bigzaeya9881 I agree with you and I know that, X-Men was always great at being an ensemble cast of characters with focuses switching from member to member with soap opera themes centered around a bigger plot. I’ve read the comics for years along with other forms of media they had. It’s just Disney like many other companies usually go with the most marketable heroes as the focus or big picture. The fact that they didn’t do that and decided to actually give us a great X-Men show with multiple character arcs and references to comic storylines made it a hit. This is what happens when passionate fans get to make the project and aren’t really forced to do anything they don’t want too by the actual studio.
"You may have survived the Apocalypse, but are you ready for- the Onslaught!?"
Gambit as Death (tracks with the comics), Logan as War (fits his personality), Storm as Famine (fits her powerset, which includes inducing drought in one area) & Morph as Pestilence (powers augmented/modified to be able to induce genetic diseases in others)
I have to admit that you have some fantastic ideas about The Horsemen of Apocalypse for the next season, especially the idea of Morph becoming The Horseman of Pestilence. However, there are some things that I don't agree with. The first thing is that according to the comic series Wolverine after getting adamantine back in him, he became A Horseman of Death much like Gambit. The Second thing is that Storm has already been A Horseman of Famine in two different pieces of X-Men media.
The first piece of media that showed Storm has The Horseman of Famine was the final season of X-Men: Evolution. The second piece of media was the movie, X-Men: Apocalypse. So I am going to have to say that even though the ideas that you have are good. I honestly, don't think that The Wolverine and Storm idea will happen.
@@phillipwalters7702 I loved XMen Evolution, especially with the introduction of Storm's SMOKING HOT BIOLOGICAL NEPHEW EVAN DANIELS
Good take except for Morph. Morph already had his arc of getting abducted by an evil villain back in X Men 92 which spanned through the whole series. Becoming a horseman would set back his character arc given that he already got over his Sinister era and would just be repetitive overall.
@@Koraxus Onslaught + AoA arcs
@@phillipwalters7702 yes, Logan was also a Horseman of Death (whether it was before or after Gambit, I can't remember). I acknowledge that, but given his personality, him as War would be more fitting
This series showed me I had been sleeping on scott summer cyclops he a badass
Glad you seen the light 😂❤
In your defense, Scott has been relegated to the whining over protecting “leader” in most adaptations that push Wolverine as the main draw and having Xavier around really made it feel he was always a vice president of the team opposed to its true leader. The professor being gone and Scott having to realize that he is truly the leader in Xavier’s absence when given the opportunity to leave was one of the highlights for me this season.
He a simp
Just wait till he really turns it up and say screw professor x
@@hansfranco2065 Wolverine is a simp. Sit down.
Loved how they put magneto pulling out Wolverine’s metal from the comic panel
My ONLY gripe about that frame was in the comic his fist is closing as if to draw out the metal from Wolverine. The animation has his fingers outstretched, which is what Magneto typically does when tossing someone or pushing stuff away from himself. I paused when watching and that was a big miss for me :(
@@HiddenEnt It’s not that big of a deal bruh
@@Mjsports3730 almost like I simply had an opinion? Weird behavior lol
@@HiddenEnt I just said it’s not a big deal, I wasn’t saying your opinion was invalid or wrong.
@@Mjsports3730 As I said, weird. In my original comment I stated my "only gripe" so yeah, I would agree it isn't a big deal.
3:27 “Kangle”! You missed a great dad pun there. I have no children.
X men 97 greatness
You love to see it
Rama tut was that weird dude that helped bishop in the beyond space and time episodes of the original series
I loved X-Men 97 and watched X-Men tas for the first tim in prep for X-Men 97 and the whole experience was great
Now if Spider-Man 98 is announced I will lose my shit bcz i used to watch Spider-Man tas religiously and loved it so muchhh and i have so much nostalgia for it
Did same but honestly the acting was really bad back then. Skipped 3 shows because how dumb they were also. The fat alien in chair. Was like hell naw and skipped lol
Allegedly, the 6th Season of Spiderman Tas would’ve continued in England. With Carnage as Jack the Ripper. So many unfinished storylines like the Mary Jane clone, Venom and Dormamu etc
X-Men 97 was a 9.5/10 for me personally! I loved it!
💯
For me its a 9.8 its nearly perfect mojo ep was good but not amazing so it drop it a little bit.
We need more than 10 episodes for all this!
Another thing about Kang is that Immortus made an appearance in X-Men the animated series 4th season.
Ah yeah, that he was disguised as an annoying elf called Bender that followed Bishop into the time stream, right?
My guess is 3 of Apocalypses Horsemen will be Gambit, Wolverine and Angel..........Gambit obviously, Wolverine so he can get his Adamantium Skeleton back via Apocalypse and Angel because Forge's panel of X-Men Members showed Angel as "Missing or Dead".
Angel already had his horseman character arc during Xmen TAS
It would feel repetitive at this point
It maybe the Horsemen will be chosen from the dead on Genosha.
@@allisonjae3152 I know that, and he has been after Apocalypse ever since. But there is nothing stopping Apocalypse from brainwashing him again, or maybe Angel will be so broken after dying in Genosha he will willingly join him.
I just think it makes sense that some of the horsemen will come from the dead in Genosha.
Definitely a great video that gave us some great ideas of how the second season of X-Men 97 will be set up.
Thanks for watching!
Can't wait for X-men 97' season 2. It will be worth my money spending. Thank you so much for the video.
Onslaught Saga
Emperor Vulcan
Askani Son
Age of Apocalypse
House of M
Etc. So many possibilities!!
They better not speed run thru all these arc's and pull a Game of Thrones and run out of material too fast
@mroctober3583 Yeah they should treat at least one of those stories like they did with the Phoenix saga from the original series.
@@mroctober3583u speak it unto existence and when it happens it’s ur doings.
Actually, it's Blood Of Apocalypse not Age Of Apocalypse
@mroctober3583 I hope that with the success of Xmen 97 that Disney greenlights more episodes for the 2nd season and possibly longer run times.....
I think feral Wolverine will become a horsemen like in the comics. And I think the adversary will do something to fake the deaths of the x men at some point
That could be very cool.
Nice how he mentions his past about wars and how many battles hes been in. I dont think thats on accident they been hinting at it this whole season.
I want Colossus!
And Iceman. Both of them got minimal screen time in the OG series
Same here I really hope we get him in the next season. The team I wanna see Bishop and Forge recruit are Iceman, Havok, Colossus, Shadowcat, Emma Frost, ArchAngel, Magik, and then possibly Psylocke, Polaris, Exodus and Dust (then showing her makes me think she’ll be joining). Then obviously Sunspot and Jubilee will return or at least have roles in the next season.
Great review as always Tony! My kid got hooked on your channel thru the recaps. And she kept asking me about episodes 9 & 10 😅😅
You Forgot it, You Forgot Cyclops & Phoenix Mini-series. Where Scott and Jean Travel to the future and met a very young Nethanl/Cable. With Rachel as mother A, I don't belive it.
As always GOOD content 💯.
Season 1 of X-Men 97 was crazy but the X-Men's battle against Bastion was just the beginning of Apocalypse resuming his domination over the Earth. There's a possibility that Season 2 and 3 will adapt many story arcs from the X-Men comics such as the rise of Apocalypse, the blood of Apocalypse, Second Coming, Deadly Genesis, Rise and Fall of the Shi'ar Empire, Emperor Vulcan, Brood Saga, God Loves, Man Kills, and Onslaught. And Season 1 adapting E is for Extinction, Mutant Massacre, LifeDeath, Fatal Attractions, and Operation Zero Tolerance was perfect. And I haven't forgotten about Feral Wolverine.
Great video! I’d love to see feral wolverine but I have a feeling they might skip it and maybe Wolverine Morph and Storm will join gambit as one of the new four horsemen ? Either way I’m happy but I like it when movies take from comics but with their own twist because why not!!
I hope they do Spider-Man 98 and the other cancelled 90’s Animated shows like The Incredible Hulk
Hope they make a season 3 with Onslaught.
I am so psyched to see Gambit become death in animated form. It better be where they go because that's what I got from apocalypse picking up that card
Just o add to the point on Onslaught - Xavier and Magneto explicitly discuss how attempting to hijack minds can cause them to break and merge - I was actually surprised that onslaught wasn’t more explicitly mentioned by the end of the episode
Imo, when the XMen saved Earth before getting sucked in a time warp, the timeline was split into two; from the Summers finding Nathan in the dystopian future up to the remaining cast encountered the young Apocalypse in ancient Egypt.
Bastion went hard and said "You can't win against the future." But if he won that (and should've been), then you have the Future Xmen Freedom Fighters consist of Cable, Forge and the other surviving mutants.
I'm so giddy about apocalypse...he's the first born mutant on earth. All that knowledge, great story line and it's tragic.
I'm ready for season 2 and wave 3 of Marvel Legends X-Men 97 figures.
How season 1 ended there one character missing which is logan and it would be cool if this logan is the one in the deadpool movie coming out now that would be a huge crossover
Storm and Morph were also missing
@@marvinlynch1305 your right
And it’s not happening
Hes savage right now.
Here's my theories for Season 2
• Blood Of Apocalypse
• Rise Of Apocalypse
• The Adventures Of Phoenix & Cyclops
• Rama Tut
• House Of M (Potentially)
• A new temporary team that features: Colossus, Shadowcat, Iceman, Havok, Emma Frost & Magik
We got Bastion Sinister Apocalypse Kang and The Horsemen who Could be also Wolverine and maybe Magneto probably not but woooo X-men 97 we STACKED
I think Stryfe will have a big role to play in the second half of S2. They are bringing in a lot of the Summers and he connects to Apocalypse as a potential vessel.
I think Wolverine will become another Horseman for Apacalypse. Specifically War. I feel like him telling Magneto, "I've been in a lot of "Wars pal," before him having his adamantium removed was a verrrrrry subtle hint at that.
And it kind of makes sense. I know his healing factor is stronger buy the adamantium had is advantages too. Just like Angel was made stronger after becoming one, maybe Wolverine takes up the offer as well?
I definitely think that the series is also building towards an avengers vs xmen arc down the line, probably sooner than later. Also Scott being kinda edgy throughout 97 is fs a tease in my head towards xmen vs xmen in a few seasons
Personal opinion, I think will Onslaught final episode as the big boss and Wolverine will be feral for some episodes but will become horseman of Apocalypse as War instead of Death due Gambit is, so Logan can regain his adamantium
I also think that they could also be hinting to a Cassandra Nova debut since she claims to be the one who gave Emma Frost her diamond hardening mutant power and we saw the manifest when they found her under the Genosha ruble
Very possible.
i love it how they used Sinister to portray the fact that Trask's DNA is needed to control sentinels
Bro, these are some of the most talented artists and storytellers on Earth... They're not just going to copy paste some old stories. They're setting you up to think you know what's going to happen only to tell their own story. Just like you dummies thought onslaught was coming only to have Mags and Chuck separate cleanly.
You broke the code! 🤯
I still think the main villain of X-men 97 Season 2 will be Stryfe. Reasons: When Apocalypse found out Stryfe was a clone, he deemed him unworthy. Stryfe decided to take revenge and scattered the X-men members across time hoping that the group he sent to the past would take care of Apocalypse for him, while Jean and Cyclops were sent to the future (Stryfe's time) so that he would personally take care of them because he felt they abandoned him. I feel that when Cyclops said in season 1 that he did not want his child to feel abandoned is a foreshadow for Stryfe. So basically the X-Cutioner's Song storyline.
Cant wait for season 2
When start?
It better that X-men ‘97 focussed on the entire team, and not always about Wolverine. More Cable back story with x-force and Strife is needed.
Storm in x men she reminds me of sindel and Raiden on mortal Kombat.
X-man 97 was freaking awesome 🔥🔥
It's pretty cool how In the file the US government has on magneto, two of his aliases are Ian Mckellen and Micheal Fassbender, this is in episode 10 at the 19:38 mark.
The red vials are like Apocalypse's own "evil Communion".
There are a couple of things that I think they subtly set up. One was an appearance of Vulcan. They yet to discuss the fact that havoc is Scott’s brother. Deadly genesis would be a great way to not just pay that off but to bring a lot of other things to the forefront. Because how that whole thing went down, that was a huge catalyst for cyclops falling out with Professor X. Another key point that I saw and you would’ve missed it if you blinked , Was appearance of Reverend Stryker. That was something I didn’t expect. I know they want to do an X-Men movie, and at this point after seeing episode five, I think they have the guts to do. The God loves/man kills storyline. That’s my two cents. Everything else named was very on point.
Don't forget with all this apocalypse fan-fare, that the major x-over events in era that were not already hastily smashed into `97 were The Phalanx Covenant and The Age of Apocalypse.
As of now we still don't know why the X-Men time-blipped at the end of `97, so they could really easily tie in AoA the same way, revealing that somebody was blipped back to the old days and decided to off Magneto early for the sake of the future, getting Charles instead of course, triggering the AoA for I'm guessing maybe one (two at most) episodes, since there's basically no pacing involved.
Slim and Red in "The Adventures of Cyclops and Jean Grey," though not exactly as it was in the comics, seems to point to it pretty neatly at any rate. It means a continuation of their story with Cable, and setting up for Xcutioner's Song stuff, namely it gives them a chance to show Nathan being cloned in the future, so that the Stryfe character has context.
Yes, of course the Onslaught thing. Fatal Attractions set that up. But at the same time, they retconned, they hedged. In `97, Charles did not wipe Magneto's mind for ripping the adamantium from Logan; Xavier did not mentally absorb Magneto, leading to an amalgam villain. But they seem to still be going there. Charles did try to "cure" Eric's mind, and we will probably learn later on down the road that he did that by "taking away" some of his burdens, which will serve to corrupt Charles, leading him to eventually spawn off the Onslaught entity.
I think the way this probably proceeds is in the S2 finale, where surprisingly the team is met with defeat against Apocalypse, and we need another Phoenix event to turn the tide. Except this time, we get the mutant equivalent of the bigger dino conveniently (and forebodingly) eating the menacing T-Rex for us, when Charles determination is met with a yielding doubt, and Onslaught is released, to immediately punk Apocalypse. Since they'd have spent the whole season building up how bad Apocalypse is, having him suddenly spanked by Onslaught will provide a poignant statement about how big of a problem he represents to the world, and a solid cliff-hanger for whatever's next.
Of course that all presupposes pacing and storytelling methods that really weren't there in season one, so it's probably all wishful thinking. It'll probably be rushed in and rushed out while incorporating 17 other arcs instead, and while giving up airtime to, I don't know, another arcade game or something.
My hope is that season one of `97 is not telling of how they're going to approach stories in the future, but instead was a necessity of rushing in many elements in order to hastily set up for the story they really wanted to tell afterward. That the whole thing was basically just a preamble. That's my best hope for it, the best excuse for all the rushing and corner cutting. Hopefully we can finally get to a place where they can tell one story and tell it well. I doubt it, though.
Just to point out a cameo most missed in the original xmen beyond good and evil, bender ended up being immortus; another version of Kang
I was thinking how cool it would be to see the house of M story arc adapted into animation. Could you imagine hearing “No More Mutants” out loud then seeing majority of them being wiped out? Chills
I would make a spin of feral wolverine series. In between season 1 and 2 or 2 and 3. Also, give us 90s Spider-Man.
That’s a ride we’d get on.
Season 2 is just gonna be Apocalypse and Season 3 reveals Bastion is still alive and has merged with the shattered parts of Magneto's and Charle's minds.
❤🤍💙 all your videos mate👍
This was my era of comics
Finally, someone who made sense
One of the few channels I've seen that interprets the Fatal Attractions lead up to the coming of Onslaught in the right context of the show. Ep.10 wasn't a fake out, it was a deliberate recognition that if Onslaught begins here, that doesn't mean he's meant to appear in the same episode. I expect him to be a second villain of Season 2. Probably with hints of something being wrong with Xavier for the first half of the season, then being a fully realized antagonist for the second half.
This is the version of my beloved characters I know and love best.
“Hold on to your butts because we’re about to get into it” lmao what?
Sometimes you gotta get into it!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I sure hope Storm doesn't fade into the background.
Banshee also gets resurrected as a Horseman of Apocalypse. Forge puts together his own X Men team with Polaris and Psylocke
We got a good fight between Magneto and Doctor Doom in House of M. They teased him in the first season they need to bring him in and have him be a threat.
I hope we're about to see "age of apocalypse" storyline.❤❤❤
My feelings are that any attempt to guess what the X-men '97 team will do is futile as they have proven to be willing to take all our expectations and turn them on their heads.
Fair. Still a fun conversation. 😎
what I would love to see is like a multi-part Age of Apocalypse animated movie, yeah it would be time consuming surely but it would be awesome to see it go down in movie form💯🤞🏻
either way seeing Apocalypse and potentially Onslaught will be awesome
Since you did the history of Midnight Man, Are you going to do history of other Moon Knight villains like Arthur Harrow, Shadow Knight, Bushman, the Zodiac Cartel, Stained Glass Scarlet, Moon_Shade and the Sun-King?
Nice.
How Mother Askani has PHX force and not defeat En Sabah Nur?
Rache is in the future, Apoca'pops is in the past
x-men mesh shorts are tough!!!.. where can i buy?
hope they show storms connection with eye of agamotto and her linage to second sorcerer supreme and the red ruby in her costume
Can you do history of the characters mentioned in this video?
Can you do history of the Elementals, Cyclone and Sandman along with Kurt Conners the Lizard, Rhino, Chameleon, Scorpion and the Human Fly along with the Tinkerer, Alistair Smythe the Ultimate Spider Slayer, Living_Brain, and Prowler?
Feige should’ve gave us a Rise of Apocalypse Origin Movie with Kang as the Villain
As Scarlet Witch was showed on the missing people board at the end of the season it seems quite obvious the House of M plot should be in next seasons.
No it said she was offworld same with quicksilver. This was hinting that both are now avengers doing avenger stuff.
@@cngotham4111 but what's problem? Being off-world right now doesn.t exclude possibility that she will back to earth in season 2. Being on such board in the season finale works perfectly as a character's foreshadow for next season.
@@piotrtomasz1268 alot of ppl don't like house of M that story hurt the brand....and scarlet witch is an avenger not an xman so giving a character like hers such an important place on an xmen show feels off.
What would happen if we saw Apocalypse turning Wolverine and Storm into his horsemen in this upcoming season while the other X-Men are lost in time?
WE WANT A PODCAST ON X-MEN 97
They should bring out xforce as season 2 or as a spin off show on its own till season 3 ;)
hi VC!
We also saw omega red teased! Please talk about this
How long till you do history of the Thunderbolts and the Young Avengers since they're slowly forming in the MCU?
Are you saying that on season 2 we will see Onslaught? And so many more old and new faces. Hey, do you think the Goblin Queen is still alive or dead?
Possibly in Limbo, since she made a deal with one of the demons there
Didnt she rule a part of hell at some point?
@@cngotham4111 she did in the comics, after Magik stepped down iirc
@AifDaimon that's what I thought. Pretty sure killing her off so early on might lead into that at some point I assume. Maybe she helps gamit from not being the horsemen of death? Idk
What would happen if the members of the X-Men who are stuck in the past who met Apocalypse from that time got him on a better path result in his present self being a good guy?
I think there's a possibility to adapt also the adventures of Cyclops and phoenix.
When will the second season be updated
I wonder if X-Men 97 will adapt the Old Man Logan storyline that’d be something.
I hope not, Logan killing all the X-Men was fucking dumb
@@retrohero2762 They could set it up as an alternate future like how it is in the comics.
Too early for all that bruh
Apocalypse's greatest weakness is gonna be skin cancer from being in the sun too long. 😂😂😂
So how long till you do history of Arno_Stark Iron Man, Ezekiel Stane, Titanium Man, Crimson Dynamo, Whiplash, War Machine and Pepper Potts AKA Rescue?
I believe they’re hinting at something else and season three I think it’s gonna be splitting too. I believe we’re gonna get there no more mutants storyline and at the same time I believe we’re gonna get whatever X-Men are left are gonna have to face off again see avengers, and at the end of the day they’re gonna have to work together to get Wanda to reverse her decision because I’m probably gonna take out somebody prominent powerful that they didn’t know was a mutant, but that’s my opinion
Was there gunna be a 3rd part of the Dceased?
Yes. Coming in the next two weeks.
Gambit, Storm, Wolverine, and Morph will be the new horsemen
I just want to know when it dropping
I wonder what happened to Wolverine & storm
Future.
And morph
All going to be horsemen
I had that issue.
Reading recommendations
I feel like everyone will randomly get transported back to the current time(everyone in the bc time) and will have to warn the other xmen abt him, gambit will return and maybe cyclops and rogue will?
will iceman colossus n psylocke be part of the group?
Hold on to our butts because you’re about to get into it?!?!?!
AYYoOo lol
🔥🔥🔥🔥
