4:04 this is payback to everyone that was saying marvel fell off this is an eloquent middle finger to everyone that was trash talking marvel amd just good television for the rest of us
@@mriddleyNo. This is an apology and desperate plea from Marvel to keep spending money. They can’t afford to flip anyone off considering their last two years of film and television was at best ok and at worst complete dog shit. X-Men 97’ is the only thing they have right now that justifies Disney+ and will get them money in the back end with merchandise sales up until Deadpool 3 comes out. Copium is a hell of a drug.
Cobra Kai Season 6, the show's final season, will have 15 episodes and be released in three parts, with the first premiering on July 18, then Part 2 on November 28, and the finale event later in 2025.
@@hamhockbeansNo. First time in cartoon/animation was in X Men: Evolution I’m pretty sure. IIRC, there’s an entire episode dedicated to Nightcrawler’s teleport abilities going haywire so he had to jump inside of the dimension that he passes through upon bamfing to fix it
@@cammte5471 It was more that Forge used a machine that slowed-down Nightcrawler's teleportation to study where he goes in-between points which led to the dimension full of the Brood. The side-effect was that it left the portals open long enough for the Brood to step through as they normally don't notice Nightcrawler when he teleports as it's too fast to register. But yeah, fun episode.
I thought he had a suit there that he was going to put on before he was going to hit the planet with an EMP. Nope, out there with his 🍆 print and everything
Xavier is also an overly sheltered, privileged multimillionaire, who has never had the face the realities of the world the way Magneto has had to. Let’s not forget that Magneto is totally pure in his intention to safeguard all mutants. Xavier however, is actually a deeply conceited, conniving and manipulative megalomaniac who only pretends to be nice. He’s a horrible person in actuality.
Now he's gotta stand on business becsuse they thought he was bluffing he tried to save a group of kids on genosha and they ended up dying anyway while he survived yeah all bets are off now
The irony is that it wasn’t the humans that let him down. Mutant/human relations were steadily improving. It was the machines that forced Magneto’s hand. Bastion played them all.
@@arc7375 you're right, but I feel like even tho they weren't behind the attack (humans), what Bastion did made humanity show its real face. Yes, Bastion destroyed Genosha, but the humans never actually wanted to accept mutants. I feel like they were just waiting for an oportunity like this. Maybe I'm wrong, who knows. I guess we'll see the next 2 weeks?. Besides, it's humanity working with Bastion as well. He's not just by himself. FOH work with him, those are humans. Val cooper was also working with him. If we're to believe her, she didn't know about Genosha, but still, she was part of something called "operation zero tolerance". I mean just by the name alone, you can at least suspect that these guys are planning some fkd up shit
@@mrshade810To that point, how ever people spin it, humans in multiple levels of government, industry and military are behind the manufacturing of the Sentinels, Bastion only manipulated and activated what some humans put in motion. It's never entirely on the machines and for every human ally there's probably a human agitator (case in point, a whole council of humans on speed dial discussing the sentinel roll out).
The whole dialogue with Sinister saying Mengele essentially didn't go far enough by torturing and experimenting on Jews in WW2 is wild and no one is talking about it. Especially saying it in front of Magnus.
Get the point of your comments, but till when we are going to keep blaming other for WWII? Genocide "Israel" is not right, but it is ok, because Israel is doing it...
Family is a choice. When Nightcrawler said this he summarized what the X-Men is all about. They are more than a team. They are a family not by blood but by choice.
If I was apart of the team. I’d go to Nightcrawler anytime I feel depressed or need motivation to keep fighting for the team. This dude is like the team therapist.
Very true. Given how many families across the world are formed through adoption and foster care, the very concept of it is more deep than we realize and we unknowingly take it for granted as time changes us all. While Charles Xavier is the center of this team and Hank McCoy is the brains, Kurt Wagner is truly the heart and soul of the X-Men and I have this series to thank for this acknowledgment, despite having the time to know the X-Men through movies and comic lore over the years.
Not sure if anyone noticed. The clothing store Jubliee was at was called Wasserman's. They showed it twice. Ron Wasserman created the theme song for the original X-Men animated series. Amazing episode!
@@hamhockbeansgod I hope he tried he really tried but honeslty how far can you push someone before they say enough I wanted Charles to be right truly I did but this was to much and now the whole damn planet has mini sentinels with enough punch to knock out rogue and the monster behind it all is making deals with zemo doctor doom and hydra enough is enough magneto could have done this at any time but because of his friend and becsuse of his last bit of patience he didn't but now all bets are off I'm full on team magneto after today
You wanna know what’s gonna be so sad? Magneto sees Xavier and tells him ‘Forgive me Charles. I tried.’ And the worst part is Magneto trying cost him too much. So at this point, burn it down. Magneto was always right.
That's the thing that hurts the most out of all of this magneto was legitimately trying no lies no double cross he was letting his guard down he was trying to be the person Charles knew he could be but nope they had to fuck it up
tony was trying to protect all of earth from alien invasion, bastion is a supremacist trying to eradicate mutant population of earth and turn the survivors into slaves. it's an easter egg but nothing more, the comparison is weird
@@ItsmattzHow exactly it sure as hell will not be lightning. That will make him stronger. His force field can stop hale and wind and rain and flying debris. Only attacking Magneto mind can stop him.
@@Raitan2008 she is going to show up and a sentinel is going to say omega level threatS detected. She will have a boss fight with the man that respects her as a goddess.
@@hamhockbeans her powers can strengthen and weaken him. It won’t be one on one. She will be the heavy hitter until Charles can act. Charles will also have a demonstration of strength.
When they announced this show I was like, "This might be a little fun superhero cartoon to watch now and again". NEVER did I even have an inkling of it being such an iconic masterpiece. So many quotes and lines stayed with me. Mostly this cartoon did what most media is always afraid to do. Get into the very weird comic storylines. At best we'd get Phoenix, or maybe some small ploy. But lifedeath, Bastion, OZT, Gala, E for Extinction, Inferno, and so many more iconic comic storylines that I never thought would see the light of day.
Bastion is actually kind of scary in how intelligent he seems to be. There is a huge difference between someone like X-Cutioner or Gyrich and someone like Bastion, the latter is immensely more dangerous. He kept Magneto alive for a reason.
I watch this show as soon as it comes out, I watch it again to focus on the dialogue and I watch it again to focus on the action. All back to back to back lol
As inconsistent in quality as the XMovies were, there are some excellent ones, like X2, DoFP and Deadpool. And _Logan_ was not just an excellent X-Men or comic book movie, it’s one of the greatest pieces of film ever made.
Because he’s actually Omega level. People keep running around calling people Omega level (like Gambit when he blew up the wild sentinel) just because they did something cool or powerful. But it’s not correct (and Gambit is Alpha level). Omega level means your powers are at their most powerful, full potential, and capable of affecting the entire planet. And beyond. Magneto showing us all what Omega level means.
Yeah...how does CHristopher Barnes sound these days? Actually, strike that, I used to play as spidey in Marvel Heroes Online 10 years ago and he did the voice.....PLEASE.
The beauty of the X-Men series is that it highlights the team members and the wider Marvel character roster. Dr Doom, Baron Zemo, Warmonger, Spiderman, Omega Red, and Silver Samurai are all featured in this episode alone.
X-Men 97 out doing Game of Thrones. No one is safe. Also, in regards to Magneto's escape: Remember the end of Episode 7. Bastion: "All you need to do is listen and obey." Mags is Bastion's queen and he just hit checkmate.
Listen, at 4:43 this morning, watching while I got ready for work; I screamed "X-Men #25 from 91!!!" with tears in my eyes, horrifyingly waking up my wife to me standing right in front of the TV while Magneto unleashed his global EMP!!! My inner 17yr old self has been losing his 💩 all damn day!! These have been the greatest times for a reader/fan since 79!!!
I just want folks that said Sunspot's mom was understandable because they have a business, to understand that they have Stark money lol, and him being himself couldn't possibly change that. It would be like Jeff Besoz telling a child to stay in the closet with their sexuality or if they could pass as white to avoid negative impacts on Amazon stock lol. Now it's “Roberto just let these men collar and shackle you … “ for the business? Lol. They just want proximity to their bigoted social groups and value that above their son.
@@CardboardArm if that’s how he treated his kid; I think we can all agree that’s gross parenting right? As if their child being anything short of a mass murderer could mess up “the business” when you have billions
The Wolverine/Nightcrawler fighting…the animation…the storyline…holy smokes this finale is gonna be EPIC!! Shout out to the animators for finally showing the effects of Nightcrawler teleporting…that was the best!!! And Nightcrawler fight8ng with three swords…damn that took me back to his late 80s solo comic with the little BAMFS. Man as a comic collector for over 40 years and a huge X-men fan I’m loving this! Especially since this was one of the last Saturday morning cartoons I watched. Special shout-out to the animators for their nod at an old X-men cover, back when they faked their own deaths through the Siege Perilous and were living on the Australian Outback. The Reavers crucified Wolverine on a big X just like Bastion did Magneto in this episode. Damn this show has my comic nerd/enthusiast bursting outta my skin! 😂 Oh and don’t forget…SPIDER MAN showed up!🎉🎉🎉
They really need to rehire Beau DeMayo. His writing (which is 90% of the show iirc) is insane. Its indepth, its well researched, its phenomenal. Not to undermine Feldmen, Ballard, or Sellitti, but Beau was said to do most of the writing, and he killed it. So amazing.
Whole damn episode had my jaw dropped!!! *Spoilers* Omega fking Red YES!! I know we're all hyped for the Spidey cameo, I lost my mind BUT was that Simon Templeman Voicing DR Doom, his original VA from the fantastic 4 cartoon AND fking Kain from the Legacy of Kain?! Aaaaaaah! Best treatment the X-Men have EVER had
Bastion's art piece shows Sentinels killing off mutants, and he aptly's names it "The Final Dream" which is cleanly a take on the "The Final Solution" that the Germans carried out. This show is just on another level with dialog, animation, and awesome sounds pieces.
One of the saddest part of this episode is Bastian’s mother fate. She loved him even as a mutant. She said nothing was wrong with him. Then he turns her into a machine.
The wordplay is on point. Also when Bastion said that mutants can teleport you “in the _blink_ of an eye.” Blink is a teleporting mutant who can teleport people far further than Kurt can.
I'm about to have a stroke! How they keep topping themselves every week!??! This upcoming season finale gonna give me a heart attack of awesomeness😂.❤❤❤
That Mengele line sent shivers down my spine. If you don't know who that is, He was called "The Angel of Death" By those he experimented on in Auschwitz. He was everything you think about a nazi scientist, up to 11 and his experiments were VERY VERY Very REAL. Which is even more hitting given that he is working on Magneto (A literal jew who survived Aushwitz if I rember my lore right).
When it comes to having the best supervillains, Batman & Spider-Man are often at the top of the list. But I've always felt that X-Men ranks 3rd above Superman & TMNT. I remember back during the first two phases of the Infinity Saga that many people were quick to claim that Marvel has better heroes but DC has better villains. But I believe that perception was mainly due to Fox & Sony keeping characters away, including the Fantastic Four, from the MCU. Lots of fans claim that Flash's villains are among the best, but I think the latter have yet to truly become iconic.
"Its darker, it's grittier" because us kids who watched it growing up are now darker and grittier too. This Is one of the very few shows to grow with us. Absolutely amazing
@Strugglenation This series has quickly become one of my favorites on the channel. This is so amazing each and every episode. Thank you Joe and Mdog always :)
I wonder if this was part of Bastion’s plan. Deliberately have Magneto released “by accident” specifically knowing that Magneto would do something extreme, to justify to the world why it needs Bastion’s new sentinel program. I would t be surprised if Bastion planned for all of this intentionally.
Theres a reason I stil have a copy of Xmen legends. And MUA 1 and 2, though I never really liked 2. Ironically, I have met 3 Wolverines and a Nightcrawler.
The amount of times I heard em say " what the f" it's hilarious to me. Sebastian got Sinister like a side kick out here, he's a genius, Sinister thinking to himself " I gotta step my game up." Ppl flipping for the spiderman cameo but I personally more hyped for the Dr. DOOM cameo. You know how much stories & entertainmwnt alone you can get from Dr. Doom.
This episode had it all. Great action, great performances, great animation, great writing, great music, great cameos, and great Easter Eggs. I said the word "great" way too much in this comment, but that's just how the episode was. Banger Episode.

The fact that Zemo and Doom (and maybe Madame Hydra?) tell Bastion he is going overboard says a lot.
When Doom is like negro you going too far, you know you on some villain shit.

Damn this show has my comic nerd/enthusiast bursting outta my skin! 😂 Oh and don’t forget…SPIDER MAN showed up!🎉🎉🎉
That sequence of Wolverine and Nightcrawler fighting together was amazing and the cameos,incredible episode :)
I agree with everything you both have said. This ep. needs an award.💯
Magneto will have all the mutants on his side. He was a great leader to the X-Men so they should side with him as well, especially Rogue and Cyclops.
Awesome reaction of my favorite episode of X-Men '97!!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊
Well they made him let them down so now magneto is about to be on business again
They really need to rehire Beau DeMayo. His writing (which is 90% of the show iirc) is insane. Its indepth, its well researched, its phenomenal. Not to undermine Feldmen, Ballard, or Sellitti, but Beau was said to do most of the writing, and he killed it. So amazing.
Omega Red was supposed to be trapped in a sub in the deepest part of the Ocean. Wonder who rescued him.
Probably some fools who think they can control him
Whole damn episode had my jaw dropped!!!
*Spoilers*
Omega fking Red YES!!
I know we're all hyped for the Spidey cameo, I lost my mind BUT was that Simon Templeman Voicing DR Doom, his original VA from the fantastic 4 cartoon AND fking Kain from the Legacy of Kain?! Aaaaaaah!
Best treatment the X-Men have EVER had
Every single episode has been a 10/10. I mean, insanely GOOD!
Now we just sit back and wait for the Onslaught
Hold up now! Ninjas ain't ready for THAT! Onslaught is a THANOS level threat!
Bastion's art piece shows Sentinels killing off mutants, and he aptly's names it "The Final Dream" which is cleanly a take on the "The Final Solution" that the Germans carried out.
This show is just on another level with dialog, animation, and awesome sounds pieces.
One of the saddest part of this episode is Bastian’s mother fate. She loved him even as a mutant. She said nothing was wrong with him. Then he turns her into a machine.
14:06 ~ Missed opportunity for the German Nightcrawler to say “Nein, my friend. Nine!”
Word play will be too difficult to understand for kids. Definitely going to say that the show sucks because who says “Nine” twice in an sentence.
@@bmdfragile "We are, the MIghty Nein." And if you get that reference...
@@bmdfragile This show already told its viewers to grow up.
Spider-Man 98 has to happen now!
This is a perfect example of what happens when you get writers who understand and respect source material.
Spider blood, spider blood, radioactive spider blood
If they do a new series and bring a new version of that theme back..imma lose it. 😂
PLEASE MAKE THIS SERIES Sequel!
Bastion's the type that'll say "You think I'm some comic book villain that you can just stop? I set my full plan into motion over 30 minutes ago."
More like ten years ago.
This show is PERFECT. I have no other words to describe it.
Magneto just killed millions of sentinels and humans, this just got kicked into overdrive 😱
He declared war
14:13 - 14:43 was waiting for yall to witness this glorious Wolverine Nightcrawler team up
This show is a masterpiece. Damn.
Scott Toretto and his familia with that car chase action! 😮💨
That "no. Make that nine (nein)" quote had me popping.
For those that don't know, nein is no in german. So that shit was an onion.
The wordplay is on point.
Also when Bastion said that mutants can teleport you “in the _blink_ of an eye.”
Blink is a teleporting mutant who can teleport people far further than Kurt can.
"We are-the Mighty Nein." So said by another NIghtcrawler, playing another German-style character. :)
I'm about to have a stroke! How they keep topping themselves every week!??! This upcoming season finale gonna give me a heart attack of awesomeness😂.❤❤❤
Yo, seriously! You KNOW... you absolutely know they're gonna kick us in the nuts with a "please god noooo" cliffhanger!
We got to see through a Nightcrawler Bamf. Nah, these people were cooking a 5 star meal with X-Men 97.
Anyone else love Nightcrawler? he has always the right words and the fight was EPIC with his swords.
That tornado claw is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
That Mengele line sent shivers down my spine. If you don't know who that is, He was called "The Angel of Death" By those he experimented on in Auschwitz. He was everything you think about a nazi scientist, up to 11 and his experiments were VERY VERY Very REAL. Which is even more hitting given that he is working on Magneto (A literal jew who survived Aushwitz if I rember my lore right).
this episode was nuts ! props to all the creators involved
When it comes to having the best supervillains, Batman & Spider-Man are often at the top of the list. But I've always felt that X-Men ranks 3rd above Superman & TMNT. I remember back during the first two phases of the Infinity Saga that many people were quick to claim that Marvel has better heroes but DC has better villains. But I believe that perception was mainly due to Fox & Sony keeping characters away, including the Fantastic Four, from the MCU. Lots of fans claim that Flash's villains are among the best, but I think the latter have yet to truly become iconic.
Been waiting for this. Big fan here!
This shit is special y’all, straight gas!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
"Its darker, it's grittier" because us kids who watched it growing up are now darker and grittier too. This Is one of the very few shows to grow with us. Absolutely amazing
They already took my Remy, they better not mess with Kurt!
That Spidey shot was straight out of Fatal Attractions book when Magneto did his thing
@Strugglenation This series has quickly become one of my favorites on the channel. This is so amazing each and every episode. Thank you Joe and Mdog always :)
Storm is gonna get that Thor infinity war entrance. These last 2 episodes are gonna be INSANE
You're a bit wrong here. Bastion didn't anticipate Magneto being freed because he thought it didn't matter.
Yeah I peeped that also.
I wonder if this was part of Bastion’s plan. Deliberately have Magneto released “by accident” specifically knowing that Magneto would do something extreme, to justify to the world why it needs Bastion’s new sentinel program.
I would t be surprised if Bastion planned for all of this intentionally.
They need to let the guy come back and keep working on this show. What he did isnt worth losing this guy and what the team built 💯
I hope this is setting up Onslaught.
Talking about spitting bars, Kurt’s been a wordsmith these last two episodes.
He spittin'!!!
The absolute best, a true masterpiece of a series….
I'm 36. I'm never thought that REAL X-MEN would come back.
X-Men alone is bringing me back to prime Civil War/Infinity War marvel
That wolverine/night crawler brought me back to woopin ass in xmen legends back in the day.. those were my 2 primary go to heavy hitters 😊
Theres a reason I stil have a copy of Xmen legends. And MUA 1 and 2, though I never really liked 2. Ironically, I have met 3 Wolverines and a Nightcrawler.
This was off the fucking chain... and that "to me my xmen"...classic
I’m telling you; this was the best X-Men animated episode EVER. 😊
PERIOD!!!
Wolverine slashing them T1000 Sentinels mid air was 🔥🔥
LETS ALL SAY IT BOYS, X-MEN 97 IS AN ICONIC MASTERPIECE!
22:56 THIS is the Wolverine we wanted in the old series!
Wolverines fighting skills and sounding like an actual animal were so awesome to see
This episode had me clapping by the end!🔥🔥🔥
The amount of times I heard em say " what the f" it's hilarious to me.
Sebastian got Sinister like a side kick out here, he's a genius, Sinister thinking to himself " I gotta step my game up."
Ppl flipping for the spiderman cameo but I personally more hyped for the Dr. DOOM cameo. You know how much stories & entertainmwnt alone you can get from Dr. Doom.
Yeah, Doom isn't much for genocide either overall. He's Romani after all.
16:48 🕷🕸
The Avengers: We have the most successful film ever.
The X-Men: Hold my purse.
16:49 My man Spider-Man! 🙏🏽💪
Love that you guys get passionate about stuff! Last thing I need is another reaction/review series that's trying to be too cool for school.
The first flip out when i saw Doom and Baron Zemo....
lost my gundamn mind when spidey shows up, omega red and silver samurai....
🤯🤯🤯
This episode had it all. Great action, great performances, great animation, great writing, great music, great cameos, and great Easter Eggs. I said the word "great" way too much in this comment, but that's just how the episode was. Banger Episode.
