Onslaught, Apocalypse, Rama tut/Kang the conqueror

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!!!

"You may have survived the Apocalypse, but are you ready for- the Onslaught!?"

Wolverine as a background shocked you? He was the main lead for most movies, it made sense for him to be a background character.

This series showed me I had been sleeping on scott summer cyclops he a badass

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)

We need more than 10 episodes for all this!

Loved how they put magneto pulling out Wolverine’s metal from the comic panel

3:27 “Kangle”! You missed a great dad pun there. I have no children.

X men 97 greatness

X-Men 97 was a 9.5/10 for me personally! I loved 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

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

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".

Onslaught Saga Emperor Vulcan Askani Son Age of Apocalypse House of M Etc. So many possibilities!!

Another thing about Kang is that Immortus made an appearance in X-Men the animated series 4th season.

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

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

Can't wait for X-men 97' season 2. It will be worth my money spending. Thank you so much for the video.

Psylocke was a major character in the 90s X-Men comics. She's not even on Forge poster of heroes.

I want Colossus!

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.

1. Gambit as Death 2. Onslaught 3. Clan Askani 4. Heroes Reborn (but twisted to a MCU without X-Men) 5. Kang the conqueror 6. Wolverine as War 7. Bringing together X-Factor (Quicksilver, Scarlett Witch, Havoc, Strong Guy, Polaris, Angel) 8. Jubilee the vampire 9. Cassandra Nova 10. A link to the MCU via a secret wars tie in. Some of these are obvious. Some are good educated guesses. Some are wild predictions

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.

Definitely a great video that gave us some great ideas of how the second season of X-Men 97 will be set up.

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

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.

I'm so giddy about apocalypse...he's the first born mutant on earth. All that knowledge, great story line and it's tragic.

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

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 ready for season 2 and wave 3 of Marvel Legends X-Men 97 figures.

Hope they make a season 3 with Onslaught.

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

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!!

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.

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?

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.

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

As always GOOD content 💯.

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.

X-man 97 was freaking awesome 🔥🔥

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 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.

Great review as always Tony! My kid got hooked on your channel thru the recaps. And she kept asking me about episodes 9 & 10 😅😅

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.

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.

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

“Hold on to your butts because we’re about to get into it” lmao what?

I wonder what happened to Wolverine & storm

1996.06 was an Adventure of the XMen comic focused around magneto vs apocalypse where magneto saves america from nuclear missiles launched by apocalypse.

Cant wait for season 2

Storm in x men she reminds me of sindel and Raiden on mortal Kombat.

How Mother Askani has PHX force and not defeat En Sabah Nur?

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.

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

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.

Finally, someone who made sense

This was my era of comics

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

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?

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

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.

I hope we're about to see "age of apocalypse" storyline.❤❤❤

❤🤍💙 all your videos mate👍

I hope Colossus joins X-Men in X-Men 97 Season 2

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?

This is the version of my beloved characters I know and love best.

I sure hope Storm doesn't fade into the background.

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.

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.

hope they show storms connection with eye of agamotto and her linage to second sorcerer supreme and the red ruby in her costume

Feige should’ve gave us a Rise of Apocalypse Origin Movie with Kang as the Villain

Apocalypse's greatest weakness is gonna be skin cancer from being in the sun too long. 😂😂😂

Banshee also gets resurrected as a Horseman of Apocalypse. Forge puts together his own X Men team with Polaris and Psylocke

They should bring out xforce as season 2 or as a spin off show on its own till season 3 ;)

I wonder if X-Men 97 will adapt the Old Man Logan storyline that’d be something.

Nice.

Hold on to our butts because you’re about to get into it?!?!?! AYYoOo lol

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?

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.

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?

How long till you do history of the Thunderbolts and the Young Avengers since they're slowly forming in the MCU?

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?

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?

We also saw omega red teased! Please talk about this

the pace is too fast throughout the show. woulda been nice to have have epic moments slowed down and savor the moment. for example when magneto came into his master power and sent an electromagnetic blast through the whole earth. black fade outs and fade ins woulda shown some importance between scenes as well. just a thought. otherwise i did enjoy the show like i did in the 90s as a kid.

x-men mesh shorts are tough!!!.. where can i buy?

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

Please talk about Jubilee and her reading recommendations! She's the best in the 90s ensemble!

hi VC!

Can you do history of the characters mentioned in this video?

When will the second season be updated

🔥🔥🔥🔥

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?

I don't know what will happen in S2, but I think the way they underused Wolverine was a horrible. Underusing him to balance him being overused in other media is just bad writing. Ripping the adamantium off his bones doesn't cause feral Wolverine so I don't think we will get that. At least I hope not. THat is NOT why he went feral after all. Personally I think maybe they will skip it all and just speed trhough ti.. I mean, the biggest problem with '97 was that they sped through shit. So it seems normal to me that they will just speed through shit here too and give Wolverine the adamantium back and make him the Horsemen of War instead of Death. I don't know though.. we'll see.

Gambit, Storm, Wolverine, and Morph will be the new horsemen

I think there's a possibility to adapt also the adventures of Cyclops and phoenix.
