It mimics comic book covers that had the characters in that book in the corner, or more recently, the first page would have a brief bio about each x-man in that issue.
I used to draw Nightcrawler title cards for the intro when I was kid just WISHING they'd put him on the roster. This is so badass and was truly cathartic lol
It's just not the same anymore. Professor X, Storm and Gambit were always in the opening from the very beginning. Their absence just leaves a hole in my heart.
Seems like it's updated based on who is relevant and active in the team per episode, as well as showing extra scenes that have something to do with the ongoing events to a degree.
Like, for real, lady, you couldn’t just see him, sit down and talk? Fictional character, I know, but she really makes like it was Iceman’s fault. *snorts* I mean, come on
I’m psyched that Nightcrawler finally gets an intro moment in the X-Men roster, but I felt like this was a weird episode to start that, with him not even being in this one… Excited to see more of him in the future!
As sad as the recent deaths are seeing Nightcrawler in the opening landing on his own title card is freaking badass and beautifully drawn. Kudos to the animators of this opening
Gambit is gone from the intro as he got killed by a sentinel, Nightcrawler took his place and now joins the team for finally having his title name intro. The beginning of Marvel Animation with the heartbeat sound effect really hits as it went dark for loosing a member from the team. 😢❤️🩹
Millennials: Nimrod is coming back? After watching the episode: it was the love of Xaviers and the love of his alternate students that was being shown 😭😭😭
I AM CRYING SO HARD RIGHT NOW!!!!! GAMBIT!!!!!!! But I did notice this 0:54 which proves that he will come back!!! I NEED THE CAJUN!!!! BRING HIM BACK PLEASE!!!!!!!
I KNOW! I FEEL THE SAME! HE'S MY FAVORITE CHARACTER IN THE ENTIRE SHOW!!!😭😭❤ Edit: However I really see him coming back, or else why would they put him in the intro with this new scene?
These clips are references to episodes in the original 1992 series, this is part of the Dark Phoenix saga. But the ending of this season does pretty much imply Gambit will be ressurected anyway
I like how now instead of recreating the cards from the old show they’re recapping. And I like Nightcrawler has a card but idk if the cost was worth it, the cost of Gambit. Remember Mona Mi.
It would have been interesting if the characters had grief stricken expressions because it would show the impact the genosha massacre had on the characters like rouge putting a rose on gambit's grave for example
They should try there hands at crafting a Gambit spin off limited series. Like a six episode series were Gambit gets resurrected using the Elixir of Life by the Thieves Guild of New Orleans.
MatPat fucking predicted the way how Nightcrawler would appear in the title card, about 7 years after the Logan and Magneto theories came out with the 8-bit theme song on the film theory intro
This show is so Good Episode 6 was Awesome now we Play the Waiting Game for Episode 7 I Hope it Has to do more with the Aftermath of what Happened in Geonosha.
Nightcrawler looks amazing! Glad he’s finally joining the team! But seriously did we have to loose Gambit to do so? And Magneto too? I liked his Anti-Hero arc, didn’t like him and Rogue together, but I still liked the arc.
I like the changing titles it shows there are stakes a real sense of loss..........you really get to miss someone and it also open chances for other major xmen to have there time on the squad Kitty Pryde, Colossus, Psylocke, Archangel,Cable, Rache Summers among other hopefully depending on what stories they adapt I do hope xmen 97 stays more with the classic storylines from the 70s up until about Grant Morrison maybe
If Shadowcat, Magma and Sunfire or -spot got their own title cards, here's how they would b. Shadowcat runs through 2 or 3 walls, Magma in her firey form makes some lava eruptions, and then Sunfire or -spot is all blazing.
Never had I felt so much fear and excitement going through the opening. I knew Magneto and Gambit weren't going to be in the opening and was dreading it. However, Nightcrawler being on there got me pumped. I think people are finally understanding why Storm's hair changed now, since it was in the future timeline.
