I just love how the x men are slowly starting to see what magneto meant

There were two things I was worried this show would set aside, Storm's Claustrophobia and Nightcrawlers faith, and they addressed both already, it was a big relief.

The Showrunner has confirmed Morph can use the powers of whoever they morph into as long as that power is Physical, so they can use the physical speed of Quicksilver but not the Mind powers of people like Charles and Jean, he'd be able to use the Diamond Skin of Emma but not her telepathy

Roberto's Mother: "We have always loved & accepted you,.. ...so long as you act like a baseline human & none of the realities of what it means to live openly & safely as a mutant impact or inconvenience our lives in any measurable way."😮‍💨 Some of us in the audience FELT THAT.

Just make one for every episode. We're here for it.

Ok but bastions voice was so smooth.

One thing that i'm loving about the series is that it's not the "wolverine and pals" show (as the live action stuff has been for most of it) but it's reminding everyone how cool and interesting every membes of the team is.

Morph was a perfect addition to the team for this reintroduction of the X-men but also perfect for older fans that appreciate all of the mutant appearances through Moprh

"Shaving Magneto" is currently the #32 Only Fans account.

As a kid from nyc during 9/11 the beast quoting Mr.Rogers "look for the helpers" even tho i was 11 i always found those words so profound. I freaking cried.

Morph power explanation: Morph can shape shift into anyone. He can also use any physical power that is produced by the body. Any energy manipulation, psyonics or matter manipulation is off the table.

"I did not expect to make another video about X-Men 97." Okay, now you're just playing with us. 😉

Morphs powers being weird makes sense when you realize he was experimented on my Sinister for so long.

I loved the coming out scene with Sunspot, I really felt that "quietly 'okay' " vibe his parents gave off. Not proud of their son, but somewhat okay with him. It hurts, but it's exactly what i love about X-Men.

Love seeing Scott be the leader and take point on any mission

Don't stop making videos about X-Men 97 Nando

To any fans who are not watching X-Men 97 i say good riddance! Tired of salty fanboys and fangirls getting triggered over trivial issues. Because the reality is that the mutant narrative has always been about racism. Along with that, they have always dealt with all types of bigotry. So, I fail to see why some "fans" are upset with the context of the series.

I could be wrong, but what I've picked up with Morph he can copy powers, but they can only be physical-based powers. He has turned into people with more limbs or appendages. He has gained super strength and durability. Recently he's gained super speed (especially since his speed isn't a speed force situation or the like). Even with the cases of Magik and Psylocke you could make a case the weapons are part of the body since he hasn't thrown them or the like. Just my theory. Still makes him ridiculously powerful, but does provide a clear limit. (Watch him prove me wrong in two episodes.)

I want X-Factor Investigations almost more than anything. My favorite X-team.

I also loved how they used cables original music too 90s terminator vibes intact

Cable came in with the "you gotta eat the sentinel goop to gain its sense of humor!"

X-Men97 is by far one of the best things on Disney+, I keep telling everyone who will listen that they need to watch It. Especially if you watch the original run, It's so freaking good I've cried 3 weeks in a row when new episodes are over. "Remember It" is just a painful episode to watch, but by far one of the best episodes ever. Then Nightcrawler's beautiful speech at Remy's funeral got me. This is just a great series!

The kind of established rule for Morph on the show is that he can mimic purely physical powers such as physical density, speed, strength, etc, but not energy based or psychic powers or any powers that aren't tied directly to the physical embodiment of that character. So no energy charges, no teleportation, no illusions, and no telepathy.

I believe that in the last episode Xavier will return to earth. I think Cyclops will say "Magneto was Right" and leave the team...

As someone who read X-Men in the 90s and largely moved on to the movies and TV shows a lot of these comic deep cuts have a strange legendary status in the recesses of my brain. Like, I would not have been able to tell you who these characters were from looking, but once you mentioned Nimrod and Bastion, this half formed image in my mind started to coalesce. Cool stuff. The name Nimrod should not evoke a sense of awe and vicarious fear but it does because I guess at some point I read some comic that I can't remember that had and the memories came back. Cool stuff. The name Nimrod should not evoke a sense of awe and vicarious

You and I are in the exact same boat regarding Emma not only the same boat we’re sitting right next to each other lol

"EMMA! EMMA!" You weren't alone, Nando.

Why are you crying, Scott? This is great! Oh, right.

I'm pretty sure the scene with Bastion shaving Magneto was an homage to Reservoir Dogs.

My god, the hype of seeing Bastion in this show and the adaptation of Operation Zero Tolerance arc is just awakening my inner child. And I didn't even read the comics back then.

This week has literally been the week where every single X-Men fan found out every single other X-Men fan is a Strong-Guy fan.

Morph can alter and mimic anything physical, including physiological powers, unlike Mystic, who only copy the aesthetics, and Copycat, who can mimic both physical appearance and a wide range of superpowers. This is talking about the comics, like any adaptation they may have changed it for the show

As someone who's X-Men knowledge only from Marvel Snap, This show slaps so hard. I never watched the 90's show but 97 makes me want to watch that and know more about the X-Men lore

Morph turned into Blob in episode 1, so they have been showing us that he can change his size too. Omega level mutant confirmed

sending those daily positive vibes from Houston everyone!

I’ve loved the 90’s XFactor team since I was a kid. They were always my favorite cards and figures to play with. I’m really hoping we get to see Havok again.

I need an Astonishing X-Men animated series based on Whedon's run with the comics. GIVE ME MORE KITTY PRYDE AND COLOSSUS.

Don’t know much about Bastion, but I assumed the pinkish skin was simply related to the Sentinels color scheme. It kinda radiates out from him, an energy source.

It’s crazy with so many more guardrails, X-Men 97 affects me far more than Invisible season 2 (don’t get me wrong, S1 Invincible amazing). I hope X-Men 97 sticks the landing this season, and I hope they have an amazing season two

Quicksilver's physiology allows him to run at the speed of sound (back in the 90's). Even the lubrication on his joints and metabolic processes are enhanced. Morph can apparently imitate that since it was just how Quicksilver's body was

I genuinely thought of you, Nando, when Strong Guy showed up! And I'm pleasantly unsurprised you had to make yet another video after all that pathos.

I think Morph did a bit of power copying too in the old show. When he came back for an episode and he and Wolverine found some more sentinels, and then he went away again until the finale. Honestly I kid of miss Evil Morph from season 2 of the old show, he was such a fun little gremlin when he was messing with the X Men there.

I love how you didn't mean to make many videos about this series, and now you've made them weekly.

You're overthinking the morph thing. Mutants like Morph can do whatever you need them to do in order to service the story. It has always been that way.

The show has been pretty consistently good. I wasn't as big of a fan of the Storm and Forge storyline but her new suit is perfect!

I rarely see when Morph transforms,and sometimes they don’t even show it. So this episode I was like “Oh! Quicksilver is here,when did he get recruit-oh wait that’s Morph again” Really great powerset though

I could see it leading into a few storylines. First, I think we may end with Onslaught, after which I could see it turning into Planet X, a new Apocalypse story, or even a variant of Decimation/Endangered Species but swapping out M-Day for the Genosha Massacre.

Could be moving towards Onslaught for next season.

I find it HIGHLY suspicious that Storm was not in this episode. I was originally disappointed that they replaced Forge's holodeck penthouse from Lifedeath with a regular degular cabin on the plains, but the fact that he had the Bastion picture, plus some suspicious moments (Storm saying she sees the same owl cycling all day, the house rebuilding itself when the Adversary attacks) makes me wonder if there isn't one more sellout Forge moment upcoming.

I think the conceit of Morph is that they 1) imitate but don't duplicate (like they could go fast, but not Quicksilver top speed) and 2) They're made of unstable molecules or something, so if they want to transform into a bigger stronger person they can, but they're exerting a lot of energy to keep pull external molecules into their body and keeping those borrowed molecules held together. If they can manipulate things on a molecular (albeit intuitive) level I wonder if they could duplicate adamantium claws for a short time. We've seen Molecule Man change the molecular composition of Cap's shield... so if Morphs powers are controllable at that level they probably could... for a short time anyway. All that said... comics logic and multiple universes yadda yadda yadda inconsistencies across versions but that's my headcanon that I'm PRETTY SURE I'm pulling from the comics from memory

Yea, I wasn’t expecting this much either and I couldn’t be happier.

I really hope they do an age of apocalypse storyline at some point.

i already need season 2 and 3 i hope we don’t have to wait longer than 2025😭

Why hasn't Alex reached out to Scott. Surely he's seen his interview with Trish Tilby and figured out he's his brother.

Loved all the Hulk & Avengers references and also Charles Xavier was held in the Hulkbuster base during his incarceration by Bastion during the Operation Zero Tolerance story in 1997.

Morph is Ben 10 with 12 seconds skill duration

I'm honestly amazed at how good this show actually is. This easily could have been The Wolverine Show, but the creators made a (very good) choice not to do that. I love that the first episode was a little reminder of what these characters are, and now here we are, coming up on the season finale and it's the thing I look forward to the most during the week.

I actually verbally shouted hacks when Morph did that

@thenandocut I believe Morph was imbued with a catalog of superhuman and mutant DNA that allows him to transform into other superhumans he has never even met before. Morph never had this power set before Sinister. In the comics, Sinister stole his shapeshifting abilities from another mutant named Courier.

x-men 97 reignited my x-men love to a degree I never would've expected.

I grew up watching the original series. I don't resd comic books, but I've always love that classic 90's show This 6th season is beyond awesome. It's insane how good it is.

I personally think morph can copy some of the power of someone but not the skill. When they were quicksilver they kinda looked worse than usual quicksilver

FD Signifier? I didn't know you were a man of culture 🥲

Beast quoting Mr. Rogers and Nightcrawler's eulogy both made me tear up. They definitely know their target audience.

X-men 97 has been an awesome experience

Not to nitpick but, technically strong guy appeared in two episodes of the original series: the first was cold comfort. Which is the episode you are thinking of, where it was X-Men vs x Factor. And you are correct in that he did not say anything. The second was strictly a cameo, when in the episode courage, morph transformed into him and spoke using Guido's voice

Another commenter said it but Morph really is just whatever is needed at the time. Initially it was really fun since he's basically a cameo machine but it's kind of weird to think about, especially when there are characters like Synch who can use other mutants' powers, it comes at a cost. Its starting to feel really cheap. I really liked Cable's entrance but it definitely felt like it should've been his first appearance. I get that he appears in Genosha to cover the "why did the guy who can timeslide not try to stop this tragic event" but it really feels like this was the grand intro. I'm really surprised you didn't cover the Captain America appearance. Its hard to say how well it actually represents his character but it absolutely feels consistent in every non-Avengers comic arc where someone is like "Why can't the Avengers do anything?" and its just some random excuse so that the plot works to focus on the actual team at hand

Never in my wildest dreams did I think this show was going to be this awesome❤❤ Loved it when I was a teenager❤❤ Love it even more now❤❤❤❤

Just subscribed 2 months ago. After years of hearing about i got curious, totally worth it.

OZT operation Zero tolerance, Bastion and Prime sentinels. It's a real strong season.

This show is a gift.

Great episode! My only gripe was how they portrayed Captain America. Talking about “wE hAvE tO dO ThIs bY tHe BoOk rOgUe, i HaVe To wAiT fOr ThE gOvErNmEnT tO sAy I cAn Go!” Bro Steve Rogers would never. There’s literally a whole comic book event that happened because Steve Rogers is not like that. I get that he was supposed to represent the United States and everything but I wish they didn’t have to assassinate his character to do that.

Morph was able to manifest swords in the first episode, I think they might just have "Rule of Cool" power.

8:00 I fkn LOVE LOVE LOVE, eXiles! Best version of Morph

I was with Morph when he said, "Is this who we are now?" I really hope Xavier can help them get their heads back on straight.

Thanks for mentioning the Morph powers issue. So he's like a shape shifter plus. It doesn't make sense.

I would love to see onslaught, like if we are doing operation zero tollerance, we can do onslaught. Also seeing ths team change to new XMen would be neat. I would love a spinoff where they make a 80s/90s style new mutants or just an episode. Ill take just an episode where jubilee and roberto go off to be new mutants (i know jubilee isnt a new mutant but she'd fits the team)

i would love for X-Men to be the equivalent to Batman on the DC side where while there’s cartoons for the kids there’s also stuff for adults. hell give us an XFactor Investigations /X-Men crossover animated movie for disney plus

Happy to see and hear Strong guy, always thought he would sound like Travolta though.

Xmen 97 is THE BEST. ITS THE BEST. IVE WANTED THIS FOR SO LONG 😅😅 the mcu can kick rocks

Love the "I Think You Should Leave" reference.

We owe Beau an apology.

I really love the X-Men episodes that push the central story but I wish it was more evenly distributed. Like I wish Storm and Xavier's plots were told in the same episodes instead of their own somewhat disconnected episodes. Might just be me

In my headcanon Strong Guy spoke with Strong Bad's voice

I love that Strong Guy fig

I would like the show to have the 22 episode season format again. Also, I wonder if they’ll introduce X-Factor and The New Mutants in future seasons

2024 will go down as the resurgence of X men

Remember, during OZT Gambit, Rogue, Joseph*, Beast, Bishop, Psylocke, and Archangel weren't around. They were in space fighting the Phalanx then sent back to Earth in time for Gambit's trial they are already going off the rails 😅

I do hate that morph gets all the powers too. They should be able to do everything. Just daft

If im not wrong after sinister kidnaped morph he gain the power to copy some powers

I still think the ultimate final boss is gonna be onslaught, if not this season the next one

So back in the 90’s around when the original cartoon was super popular, they sold giant bundles of X-men comics and they came with X-force and X-factor comics. I think the sold them from the JC penny catalog. Anyway one year for Christmas my mom got me one a bundle for Christmas because I was such a giant xmen cartoon fan and that’s when I started reading comics and strong guy always reminds me of that since he was in all the X force comics.

I'm with you, man. Love Guido.

I feel like it's getting into the 2000s Grant Morrison to Astonishing X-Men run.I can see a season 2 adapting more of that area. I would really love that. Wanna see more Emma. I like that we are using Bastion. Loving that we are seeing Cyclops become more jaded.

I let out a little scream seeing Strong Guy.

I have non X-Men fans watching this show.

When I saw strong guy on episode 7 I immediately wonder of the existence of this video.

About Morph's powers (I know I'm late to the party, but hear me out): I think maybe they can just enhance their own physical abilities? Like, they can't project energy, they never could (afaik in the show, haven't read any comics about them yet), but they can make their body move faster, their skin tougher, etc, etc? They don't have telepathy and they can't mimic it, but they can grow wings or make themselves super strong? Something like that?

Rogue deserves her vengeance
