X-Men '97 1x2 REACTION!! "Mutant Liberation Begins" 

you can thank the azzhxle influencers who spoke about rogues asss and all that for people not seeing it at the beginning other than the ones that KNEW

Outrageous nicknames for patreon users

​@@captaineri.223truly truly truly outrageous

While he’s holding everyone up in the sky too, phew I love the double meaning!

*"Do not..." Magneto is far too eloquent to resort to lazy contractions during such an impactful speech

Mmmm🙌 it's so good. SO much better than I ever expected it to be. Best X-Men content I think I've seen on TV or film. "Perfection"

@@alearnedman contractions are lazy???

@@MarisuSedaiThey can be for a character that expresses gravitas in every pore.

Still, though, I couldn't believe how good it was when I first watched it

what makes it crazier is that it´s just episode 2. they will lose it in 5.

@rapaz1997 I never expected a revival of a show I have no real attachment to, make me cry like a bay

That’s wild they needed a poll to watch this lol Blind wave don’t give a F about the algorithm, they got patreon money

still does not get enough hype for how absolutely amazing it is! even echo was more watched despite it being astronomically lower in quality.

Mood

For Prof X as well.

The best, bar none.

​@@TimdeVisser86Sir Ian McKellen?

​@@kingofdragons7 Best WRITING for Magneto. Ian McKellen elevated every piece of dialogue, but said dialogue was very much hit-or-miss.

@@KurganMacLeod i disagree

I always appreciate how X-Men is so good at getting people to take off their masks to show their bigotry

Ya, a lot of fans can miss the very obvious point sometimes. It's kinda funny that it was one of the more on the nose speeches in terms of what it was trying to say, and people still managed to not understand

​@@timothy1871 yeah, like me who just realized that Sandman explained to Peter that his daughter is sick, so it's okay for him to steal money, and Peter just gave him his blessing

funny just how easily minorities and allies can spot this kind of dialogue while others are completely oblivious to it

Remember during Falcon & Winter Soldier, when John Walker brutally murdered someone in public for a crime he didn't even commit -- and then a ton of people were praising him and saying he was right to do it? Yeah... people are awful a lot of the time.

“They were just Roommates”

I think from Wolverine's perspective they are great friends but I get the feeling, from this series especially, that Morph is in love with Wolverine.

@@the_nikster1 And honestly, i'd love that romance going somewhere but it doesnt even need to. Like Logan's crush on Jean but not even that prevalent. Just some character details that Morph may have a slight crush on Logan just to know where part of his stuff comes from

@@MellyMelon1331 agreed. 💯

@@wanderingnerdGavinthey are just friends. Weird comment.

That was epic.

Well said. Especially xcutioner's statement about "it's your whining, I hate your whining almost as much as I hate you." That's, unfortunately, how many bigots view the protest of minority struggle.

As someone who’s always appreciated but never loved marvel comics, holy shit Magneto is probably one of the coolest villians ever, and they did him perfectly.

Oh dear.

😶

They're getting there...3 more episodes.

"Hab keine angst" 😭

Overall I like how they portray social issues threw the X-Man but sometimes it doesn’t work that well. Because like you said they have actual powers and make some of humans concerns relevant vs in the real world they wouldn’t be.

@@looming416Was shown even on the drive there that her telekinesis going haywire was a definite possibility, feel like they should have seen that coming.

@@collecter343 exactly they gave him a vailed reason for not being able to deliver the baby safely. That just a little sloppy on the writing side and wasn’t needed in my opinion

Juggernaut does have a helmet that blocks telepathy though

Whoa,I never knew that! Really I always though that it was always that reason

Them retroactively justifying it to add to Magneto's character is so genius though

Agent venom's fight with the hi-jacker was awesome

Magneto in this show at least I think still falls into the anti villain category.

@@looming416absolutely. But the trajectory is there, and in recent years the Power of X and House of X runs really cemented him and Charles as united behind a shared mutant cause that’s an amalgamation of the two ideologies.

Ready to throw down with an opponent he has no chance of beating. To only feeling defenseless during a birth.

To be fair to him, he wasn't actually wrong, just a season too early

I blame Reginald Hudson for wanting his Black Power Couple so much he overrode established characterisation… Also, the whole thing about Wakanda having the cure for cancer (among other things) but withholding it in what allegedly *isn’t* supposed to be hypocritical actions. And people think the MCU *started* the problems in writing we most complain of… Pah.

@@borjankosarac3645true- but they sure did everything possible to exacerbate it.

@@franciscooctavius5957 Not gonna argue with that; they did some stuff better than the comics (especially when they took messy or just bad stories or story concepts and made better versions of them - see "Civil War"), but they've increasingly made bad choices in recent years. And yes, a lot of things they were doing from early on were bad. Especially when they did them so often, so we couldn't view them in isolation (like setting up a villain and then killing them off anticlimactically in their second appearances - see Zola, Crossbones, Klaue, Strucker... they even almost did it with Mordo in DS: MoM as the script has the version from DS! being killed by Wanda!)

Now that's a power couple

Gambit had a pretty good line. Then it ended.

Agreed, but I think he was kind of ruined in the finale, when he became evil Magneto, wanting to destroy humanity again

That time when someone said something like "We can't allow a lunatic to be a world leader" and he replies with "Yet you let a many world leaders to be a lunatic" is AWESOME

They understand, they just choose to not know.

Scott also loses his powers a couple of times on the og series, both times Jean being there.

I believe Jean can use a psychic block to stop Scott's blast. He can't control it because of a brain injury as a child

One is scarier than the other

I noticed that too, alongside his impression of "Who, Apocalypse?"

In one comic, she actually gets complete control of her powers, and she is able to remember and use everyone's memories and powers shes ever touched. It was great.

You know what this works the other way around as well. But here the fear is much more , because here the common human is afraid they are getting replaced by "mutants" just like how the current government favors Illegal Immigrants more than their own citizens. The sense of education , manpower and employment risk humanity can face with a more efficient and durable "mutant race" has arrived , kind of similar to overexposure to you know "special individuals" and "artificial intelligence" taking over regular citizen's job in the name of "diversity". And then there is government focusing more on surveiling and supporting "Genosha" a mutant haven with better infrastructure while abandoning their own states and cities problems , just like United States does with giving away taxpaying dollars to countries like "Ukraine" and "Israel" rather than investing on their own underdeveloped cities or better health care , which is funny because some "folks" screamed at Trump for not caring about health care while at the same time not saying a damn word when Biden is doing the very same thing. Now , before you label me as some "right wing symphatizer" , let me be clear , I am not picking sides , I am just the guy who knows both the sides of the Political Spectrum is equally ridiculous as the other. But I agree Jan 6 was a huge mistake from the "right wing" politics

@@mrHunleashesHELL You placing both sides as equivalent makes it clear that you cannot see which is the harmful side of this story.

@@Eruiluvatar100 I am simply stating that one side is Kong and other side is Godzilla , you just have to choose which one gets to destroy your city.

@@mrHunleashesHELL I’m completely on board with my taxpayer dollars going to help Ukraine and Israel. Ukraine is under threat of a tyrant who if he wins will be emboldened to invade more allied nations until he has us surrounded.

@@mrHunleashesHELL Ukraine is under attack by a tyrant who wants to bring back the Soviet Union.
