20 minutes of Drama and 8 Minutes of CARNAGE! | X-Men '97 Episode 5 

Noteworthy *SPOILERS* that I didn't mention in the video: . . . . . . . . Fans suspect Val Cooper to be Mystique and multiple reactions she has to Rogue being mentioned lend credence to this theory. The proper name for what I called the “Kaiju Sentinel” is the Wild Sentinel, and it's part of the “E for Extinction” storyline that the Genosha Massacre is adapted from. In addition to Cassandra Nova, fans also theorize Bastion & Apocalypse could be behind the attack, or even Mr. Sinister. Personally I lean more towards Bastion or Sinister. The Watcher makes an appearance as a figure in the sky during the Genosha Ball. Beau Demayo used real life major tragedies as inspiration for the Genosha Massacre scene. Including 9/11, the Tulsa Race Massacre, and the Pulse Nightclub Shooting which claimed the lives of one or more of his friends. Nightcrawler's original voice actor reprises the role (not a spoiler but I just wanted to point it out lol). Rogue has different reactions to the deaths of Magneto & Gambit. Magneto's death brings out her mournful rage, but Gambit's death brings sorrow and despair. Two different connections with two different men, and two different sides of grief.

11:07 rogue for the streets with her trifling ass dancing with Magneto

Theory: Something tells me that it’s Bastian behind all of this. Cable saying “He’s Coming” and Forge having a picture with him in the last episode too. IDK I might be crazy.

You know, I've watched a dozen of these reviews, and you're the first one that I feel like... gets it. Amazing review friend, thanks for the breakdown.

Definitely the best episode so far. Hoping Kurt becomes an X-Men mainstay (it's weird to see him as a guest star).

For real I love the messy X-Men soap opera drama I eat it up like bad junk food snacks 😂😂, also I love that you said we all inspire to be like our favorite superheroes but like you said superheroes are still human and humans are messy

Waiting for Ace Vane to parody X-Men like he does with DC animation.

A resounding DAMN. Glad you posted this asap.

The redhead girl in 13:19 is not Pryor, but Dazzler (She appears dancing when Happy Nation start playing)

The fact that they cut the animation just as rogue says she can't feel him is a testament to the orignal voice actress. No animation needed, just the sound of her voice breaking with grief. They really wanted us to hear her without any distractions. I wonder if they made that choice before or after they recorded her?

Man you made me feel it. Best recap I’ve seen on the episode a lot of these channels can learn something from you!

Great review you truly did it justice ❤❤❤ But OMG the feels I'm not ok !! This show said were going all out for the fans and i am here for it. Side my mans Gambit shined to the very end from demonstrating how gentleman and real man takes rejection to his noble sacrifices I have a whole new level of respect for his character

Loved ur review! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Rouge is for the streets, Remy didn’t deserve this smfh

Poor Storm having to follow up her story arc after this episode .....

Tolerance is extinction? They should call the final episode Fatal Attractions. I'm calling it.

Happy to see Nightcrawler

How strong is that wild Sentinel?? Because Magneto is a Whole Omega level mutant, he should have been able to wash that mofo

I’m still not convinced Rogue was a teenager but I loved your take. I’m so here for it. Gambit and Logan frankly impressed me this episode for how they treated the women in their lives

You think forge will be a mainstay X-men

Talk about a KING SALAD!!! There was a healthy dose of everything in this one.

That one hit deep Wow

Great content, I’m tuned in for your reactions. Your format for these videos is so well written. On the emotional side of the episode, I hadn’t felt anything hit this hard since the Bill & Frank episode in “The Last of Us”. I know the show’s pacing can be breakneck, but I honestly didn’t expect to see the destruction of genosha after such a jovial introduction. Once I saw the blasts behind Cable, I knew what was happening, but I still couldn’t believe it, watching on in horror, cursing towards the TV. Man, these guys know what they’re doing. I am curious to know how far Cyclops is going to jump off the deep end. Bringing Storm back to lead, maybe even still depowered. While I look to the future, I feel like I’m going to be once again let down by live action X-Men. How can they even come close to this show. I trust Ryan Renolds to give us an entertaining bit later this year. Though I feel only Marvel Animation can bring the epic uncanny feel to the X-Men. Kudos to Beau Demayo for crafting such a well seeded story.

10:27 hell fucking yea homie, real thug tears 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

I hate Disney so I depend on these reviews and this one was frikking awwwwwwsome!! 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

Sorry but evolution and wolverine and the x-men did good with nightcrawler

Critics about the age of consent. Walt Disney for Snow White until Tangled: 13,16, just turned 18 with clearly older men. We see Calpso life end in her eyes. Disney needs to hire Demayo back. This is better than any live action XMen movie. Bravo. 👏🏾 🎉

Is it really a love triangle when both love interests are literally the same person?

They need to un-fire Beau Demayo if all this writing is his doing, because this is by far one of the most darkest episodes than any prior X-men show(since usually characters are killed off screen). It's ironic because Gambit was the one in this version who prevented Days of the future past by stopping Mystique from killing Senator Kelly, and now he's killed by a Sentinel attack that might affect the future. Also I don't think Magneto would goes as far as to seduce Rogue underaged but I'm assuming she was around 18 or so since they used the same character model of her current age, and she ran away from home at least around 16 or 17. But yeah this is definitely a memorable episode if I haven't seen one.
