X-MEN '97 | I Want To Love It, But There Are Big Warning Signs Ahead 

There's only one thing you have incorrect with your statement. The Woke law of ethnicity matching actor is only enforced if the actor is white. Look at Phil LaMarr. No one has any issues with him playing any character. But heaven forfend if Phil DiMaggio tries to play a non-white role. He'll be drummed out of the voice actors guild faster than they tried to cancel Vic Mignogna.

I dunno. All I know is Jubilee original VA is white and she's stupid for not taking the role because she NOW thinks only an Asian VA should play her

I had no idea Penny Gadget was black and I didn't care. Voice casting should be done with the eyes closed.

@Gyrfalcon312Thank you. But my disdain for the new ways will fall on deaf ears. I sadly suffered a massive stroke that ended my VO career. I ended up loosing most of my voice. The weird thing is in my head my voice sounds like it always did. But to everyone else it’s totally different and softer.

Exactly. it's destroying the Industry. Happily it's also destroying the low IQ Asian Voice actors who supported this BS because now they have far fewer voice work.

You mean the original writers of the 90's show?

He wasnt an a hole. Just a straight no nonsense guy. Appropiate

Yeah it's weird but wtf is Morph doing there in that portrait. That is some revisionist history retcon bs. Where is Iceman

@@budgiecat9039That IS Iceman. He looked more like Snowman than Iceman back in the 60s, that’s why he’s white instead of light blue or something.

@@azaanimations319 nah I checked multiple times on pause. That's Morph.

@@budgiecat9039 That’s Iceman, Morph doesn’t have the clotheless look, Iceman does.

@@azaanimations319 he didn't look like that in the original shows flashbacks

well in all honesty it has a fair chance of being just as good or even better than the original since the original had a bunch of hurdles to go through just to be made, not to mention being faithful to 30+ history of comic book storylines.

That's what I was thinking. I wouldn't have thought of animaniacs as an example. I actually lost interest in it right away. I loved the '90s animaniacs. I was even X-Men fan.

I am still insanely insulted there was no Rita and Runt.

Adamantium is not indestructible; damn near, but it's not. And Gambit's power is to charge an object with it's own latent kinetic energy(not his), turning it into an explosive; Wolverine's entire skeleton should have turned to shrapnel.

Adamantium is effectively indestructible as nothing shown in the show's universe can damage it(including Gambit's powers). Gambit's powers are to affect the potential and kinetic energy within matter. He can actually do a lot more than just make "bombs". In the comics, he has been shown to be able to launch himself at superhuman speed, cause things to disintegrate, catch on fire, melt, launch small objects with the force of a bullet, etc. I would assume Gambit charging Wolverine's claws just mostly increased their effective kinetic energy and force.@@fizzywhizzbanger5610

similar problem with modern anime/manga. In the past it was regular people making anime viewing life around them. Now it's evolved to Otakus/shut ins making content while they have barely any interaction with the world around them. So different scenario socially but similar things in how it's affected writing negatively. Things is despite that, anime/manga is thriving because at least it's not inundated with identity politics and fans can still enjoy what they create as its pure escapism not propaganda

@@budgiecat9039 True. i can only hope that a new crop of writers, hopefully myself included, can bring back writing in a better form.

Yeah I noticed this too with even simple writing for everyday use. People can't spell, punctuate, indent paragraphs, etc. Let alone write books. I'm not perfect but at least I know how to structure sentences.

@@IcyCrystalStar yeah you would not believe how many would be writers don't even know the basics. I've had kids throw walls of text at me and call it a story.

The ending was sad I wanted more. It showed that you can deviate from the source material and create something good.

@@juangrullon4768 i didn't watch The last seasons..or i dont remember much about what happens.

Along with the original X-Men show, I wish it had a BD release so I could own it. It's a shame only DC has been able to do that for me with Batman.

@@SixerMason The orig never got Bluray DVD? Or what BD was again

That's the one I grew up on.

At least he didn't think it was racist like Jubilee's original voice actress.😢

@@jeggsonvohees2201 idk if she thought it was "Racist,' exactly; More like that she thought it was more appropriate for an Asian character to be voiced by an Asian actress. I personally disagree with her on that, but I can understand why she felt that way.

@Adamguy2003 She thought she shouldn't voice act an Asian character because she's not Asian. Because of the color of her skin. The idea itself is racist whether she thinks it is or isnt.

​@@Adamguy2003she's full of shit

@@jeggsonvohees2201 She thought it could be a little outdated. Plus she is voicing a Jubilee variant.

Which is exactly what Stan Lee hated Also J.R.R. Tolkien for that matter. Escapism should be escapism.

@@budgiecat9039 X-Men has always been about accepting other people and has had LGBT inclusivity since the 80's. If you don't like it you can leave; X-Men isn't made for bigots who ignore the message and pretend it's just 'escapism'.

That epic line he dropped to the UN council "Don't make me let you down." He killed it.

@@blaxpoitation8528 Chris Claremont left it open ended that Magneto was an allegory of Malcolm X. The writers took that to a completely different level by writing him as Malcolm X after finding Islam.

no

Except that version of magneto didn’t spend decades as an international terrorist. Charles took a bullet for him when they were both students.

Ooh look that van that keeps touching kids inappropriately now has X-Men pops. That can be trusted this time.

What identity politics

You do realize that the X-Men are Agenda the Superhero Team right? It's not like they're entire existence hasn't been an allegory to the prejudice of other races, sexualities, etc. Ffs the X-Men comics was one of the first comics to have a gay wedding with Nightstar

Do you people even watch X-Men... it's literally about discrimination. I mean the legacy virus is an allegory for HIV 🙄

​@Drums_of_Liberation You do realize that wasn't why they were created right? Stan Lee is on record that it had nothing to do with representing anything specific. He made them mutants so he wouldn't have to keep making origin stories for them. All that "representative stuff your kind (normies) crows about is just you reading in what you want.

The Globalist Woke Agenda stays. They are more than willing to go bankrupt to defend it.

Ad naaaaaaaauseam

No X-Men 97 did something truly diabolical this is truly purely evil they took rogue's cake how you going to steal a woman's cake that's like stealing the Mona Lisa that's like stealing the Declaration of Independence they stole rogue's cake they took it away they stole it

Disney Plus is definitely a definition of insanity.

Aye... And Storm is the sleeper 'superior female' because she's lost her powers, and now has an arc where she proves she's still willing to fight and lead while being the moral center of the team... Plus, you know... That haircut... Add to this Storm did become the leader in the comics so they can hide behind that... Basically... There is enough in the XMen history to cherry pick that, in the current zeitgeist of pop culture, they should know to avoid like the plague and do something else for everyone until the current politicization of media has passed.

No I don't because Loki was the main character the entire time and the "far superior" line was one throw away line in the second episode to play off Loki's superiority complex to encourage him to help.

We know how they feel about anything even *related* to Christianity, after all...

As a Christian, he's one of my favorites. To embrace God after being treated like the Devil incarnate shows great strength of character. Plus his testimony to Wolverine is iconic.

They're gonna make him gay and lame!!

@@leopercara3477 they already gayed up his parentage. Making mystique turn into a dude and give birth to a blue kid from another woman.

​@@leopercara3477if they bring back Iceman.... 💯 They'll make him gay even though the original show confirmed he was straight as he was still depressed over losing his girlfriend. Also side note: wtf was up with the art style of Iceman in the original show? He was drawn SO bad! Especially if you compare him to how he was drawn in 1981's Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends. Same with Nightcrawler and Colossus l (though not as bad). They were drawn way better in 1989 cartoon pilot Pryde of the X-Men. That's why Konami used that art style and story synopsis for their video game. I never understood why Nightcrawler and Colossus weren't part of X-Men TAS team or made to be eventually. Was very odd. It was 76 episodes. They definitely could a done it. Same with Psylocke and bringing Iceman back Now this new show, the head producer confirmed other mutant teams will be coming, like bringing back Alpha Flight, bringing in X-Force and probably X-Factor Now some of those weren't introduced in the original show....so that's gonna give the showrunners card blanche on completely reworking them for this show so don't be surprised on genderswap, raceswaps and sexual identity swaps...

After watching the first episode, I refused to continue; nostalgia alone isn't enough to cover the glaring flaws I saw with this reboot. And it *is* a reboot, not a continuation.

@@fizzywhizzbanger5610 I agree with you on the problems of the show. Unfortunately viewers won’t use critical thinking to analyze and see the actual issues. They’ll just consume it as mindless entertainment. To me that’s not the purpose of real storytelling. But what do I know, I’m just some nobody writer.

Except so far it’s better then the og🤔go figure

​@@DontaEllisoncould very well nosedive for reasons he stated. That's what bait n switch does. Reels you in and then ...

Why do we even know that he is gay anyway? If he was straight would we have known about it? Gay folks have been a part of entertainment since there was entertainment. We don’t need to know what everyone does with their private parts. And why do young people have things they can find on you? I have done some outlandish ish in my life. But you will never know because I didn’t take pics, or post about it on social media.

Just because you're black doesnt mean u can't be fired

You are right. But can they fire a gay person?

​@@josebrown5961Yes: They fired MCU senior executive producer Victoria Alonso (who's name is in this shows credits)

And it's barely made a difference. Overall, people are giving it positive reviews and bending over backwards trying to find content for their negative rage channels.

Wtf is Bishop doing there

@@budgiecat9039 This relates to the previois comment how?

@@magnum9588 I wasn't asking you

@@budgiecat9039 Racism spotted, bigot detected.

Did you notice how every anti mutant person is white? Not a single different ethnicity? Must be a coincidence.

My dude they did something even worse than that they stole rogue's cake they stole it. Disney is an absolute diabolical fiend for what they did they took a woman's cake how are you going to do that how you going to do that to a woman stealing a woman's cake

wolverine is bi. He's had both male and female lovers. There's an entire story line where he has a romantic relationship with Hercules

@@trueblaze84 that is recent. Wolverine was straight for decades, then current year writers got current year dirt all over an iconic character.

​@@trueblaze84Nope, now shut the hell up.

​@@inediblegrobb7524 I had no idea!

Mr Sinister = far left big pharma 😂

Wait,they brought back Beavis and Butt-Head.Since when bro?

@@marktheshark7588 Since 2022 after the film "Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe".

@@callummoore6962 I'll definitely check it out.

And you people eat it up

Hé said he made the xmen 97 from the perspective of a black gay Man. You know instead of making IT from the perspective of a fan...

This must have taken a lot of brainpower to come up with this

And? Lots of gender fluid people use he/him/his pronouns.

Spreadin some electro guitar on it messing with theme?Damn you are such a crybaby.They should've put some dubsteps then . :D

@trueblaze84 He is an XY chromosome!

@TheJanissary90 Don’t call it the same show then. It’s not like they don’t have the old one already recorded.

@@francoiseeduard303 does he? He's a mutant that can change his form to anyone he's ever seen. I wouldn't be surprised if he has at least two sets of chromosomes, both an XY and an Xx, or maybe Xxy or xyy or xyxy or xxyy or some other combination which can also occur IRL

This!!!!!!

That's what i said!

Effeminate redesign

@@Tone_Of_Dials effeminate body sunken face cheeks and got rid of his regular armor for something faaaaaabulous

Thought I was the only one getting those vibes.😂

To be fair that landing is straight out of the comics.

the landing scene is how cyclops powers activated as a child during the plane crash in his origin

@@Tone_Of_Dials golden years of animation

It's supposedly 3D animation with a 2D filter and purposely chopped up animation to try to emulate 90's 2D animation. I think they shoulda just hired Toei Animation and Sunrise Animation like how Marvel Productions used to do in the 80's. X-Men TAS didn't use them and instead used South Korean studio AKOM....most likely because they were cheaper back then and Fox originally rejected the idea of an X-Men cartoon anyway until Fox Family CEO Margaret Loesch said she'd put her job on the line for it. She's the one who previously had b en CEO of Marvel Productions and responsible for that 1989 Pryde of the X-Men cartoon pilot as well as Transformers, G.I. Joe, Muppet Babies, Incredible Hulk which had all been animated by Toei Animation with Sunrise helping and supervised by Sunbow Animation. That's why quality cause it looked better than AKOM, who they themselves did a lot of Western cartoons in the 80's and 90's but the quality wasn't as good. They'd usually be hired as a B team like for season 2 of Transformers. Notably though, AKOM did not animate the final six episodes of X-Men TAS. That was outsourced to another studio who was worse. I think that studio was Canadian and had also done 1994 season 1 Fantastic Four cartoon because vod similar art style. I think they mighta also done Heavy Metal 2000 movie.

give it a try, its pretty good.

@@beatles123 I think you should give the Brave Yuusha series of the early 90's a try. They were basically meant to be the successor to Transformers

Cyclops called him a freak 😂

@@budgiecat9039 WELP. CANCELLED.

It's in the bio over the ending credits so I'm waiting for them to stop the episode and give the usual "They/them" speech from Young Justice or Transformers Earthspark.

I hear more about this "message" from whiny guys on the internet than Disney! Do you guys stalk the creators and wait for quotes that trigger you? It's weird af

​@@notfromhere8889lol exactly

@@notfromhere8889 They do, in fact, do exactly that, yes.

@captaincomic8678 But why, dude? I've never done that in my entire life. I'm a black guy. My entire childhood, I saw white action heroes dominating my screen. Even as an adult, I love those old shows and movies. I don't care what crazy ass Clint Eastwood said on some punk ass interview. He made some classic movies. It's just entertainment he doesn't have to agree with my political views.

@@notfromhere8889 As someone with parents who grew up in the 60's and 70's and used to be normal but now are obsessive like that... I think it might just be not being able to accept change? Like, they don't like the way the world is now, and it's easier to just point fingers and go "it's those people's fault, they're the cause!" instead of just... learning to adjust. So they obsess over the people they blame for that like "if they would just stop doing X then things would be the way I want!" Or something to that effect.

Doesn't take away from what he said. And more importantly, Morph was never a founding member of X-Men in the original show. That was some forced retcon BS in that old group portrait in this new show

@@budgiecat9039 Same as Angel being in the OG line up, bit in the show the X-Men meet him in his debut episode.

@@magnum9588 so weird bro...

@@budgiecat9039 That wasn't Morph in that portrait. That was Iceman, my guy. He looked more like a snowman, than an iceman (lol), but yeah. That was his original look as an OG team member.

I know that is a joke, but talking serious for a moment, she has alot of ass in some shots of the New episodes. The one Shot from the old one people keep talking about is one specifico shot in a specific position

Agreed.Typical of Disney and Marvel.Eversince they tried it with Spiderman NWH.And people got blinded by the nostalgia and forget about it's problems.Disney/Marvel has been on a roll on digging up old properties to pull on your nostalgia strings.

Nah his neck muscles are the strongest things in the MCU didn't you know?

@@tonysmith9905 Must be from all the BJs. 🤔

He's still an actor first and foremost. And if you're judging that said actor by how he looks, then you're being no different than Reverend Stryker was to Nightcrawler

So much for not judging books by their covers... you definitely would've voted yes on the Mutant Registration Act...

​@@magnum9588nah it's same red flags for the weirdo Netflix hired in love action Cowboy Bebop who tried to shit on the original anime stating this adaptation was gonna 'right the wrongs of the anime'. It's a DEI hire

⁠@@captaincomic8678 I haven’t seen this actor, but these days, and especially within identity politics, you absolutely can tell the content of their character by the way they look. Vibrant unnatural hair colors, half shaved head, thick glasses(usually non-prescription), hipster outfit, all signs of a troubled individual. Not judging the cover is meant for those books who care not to upset other, they stay reserved out of courtesy, and people that are into identity politics do not care and will actively let you know it both visually and audibly

@@budgiecat9039 Well, I assure you JP Karliak, the actor for Morph had nothing but praise for the original show.

Way too early too celebrate yeah. Very sus they fired the lead writer. Season 2 is completely done writing wise. they just need to do the animation and and voice work but yeah season 2 is already greenlit. It's season 3 that has yet to be written and he has some ideas for it but is now fired. The director and producer seem level headed but you never know. The storyboard artist is a Marvel vs Capcom fan which is cool. He's responsible for making Cyclops look more cool in the fight scenes here. He actually wanted to put in one of Cyclops moves from the fighting games but was rejected. That sucks There's also writer Charley Feldman and if you ever saw what she says on social media (white activist lesbian) wow yeah. Hopefully this doesn't go off the rails but it definitely can...since Disney and all

@@budgiecat9039 The lead writer had an OnlyFans account or somethin', I read.

Yet some of the other voice actors - who are also old - returned and sound like poor impersonations of themselves.

He also reminds me of Berg Katz the villain from Battle of the Planets/G Force/Gatchaman cartoon/anime, who was operated on by the main alien villain as he was made transgender

It says you need help

Look how they Massacred my girl 😔

@@JaeLee83 I guess the programming took effect on you!

Rogue has not been changed. The thing you're thinking about was just that one shot which gets memed to death. There are videos around detailing her design in the old show, but yeah keep obsessing over humongous butts.

@@magnum9588 They took away Rogues Thiccness

I didn't like it animation wise. it looked weird. Shoulda rotoscoped it like X-Men Evolution did

That wasn't naked Morph but Iceman in his first form from the very first comics. So they still got it right.

@@Kennymacdougall no they didn't because he didn't look like that in the show

@@budgiecat9039 Yes they did. Go read the very first comic of X-Men. That's Iceman. This is a fact. Any fan can and will tell you this. The photo is an easter egg. They made no mistake.

Face wise the biggest redesigns are Storm, Magneto, Jubilee and of course Morph And I don't mean just white ghostface Morph either: I'm talking about this normal human face. He looks Asian now for some reason.... Not a fan of Storm's redesign. Yes I know the hair was in the comics in the 80's not talking about just that. They altered her face to look more masculine in its odd I don't mind Jubilee. It always felt weird to me how she was Asian but didn't look it. Now she looks it. Magneto looks weird. Effeminate. What's with his lips. He did look kinda weird on the final six episodes of the original series but I chalked that up to the fact those six episodes weren't animated by the original animation studio that handled the first 70 episodes (AKOM):which is why the quality dipped dramatically. But why would you want to copy that ..

THANK YOU!! I swear these idiots who keep on saying the Gambit and Logan combo made no sense. Are they forgetting that Wolverine was caught and was healing in the middle of a nuke blast? Gambit's kinetic explosions should be no issue

@@Drums_of_Liberation They also don't understand Gambit's primary power is *kinetic manipulation.* He can charge objects to make them deal more damage on impact without exploding. He just carries around playing cards because it's more efficient to over charge them until they explode.
