X-Men '97 S1E1 "To Me, My X-Men" | Reaction & Review | Marvel Animation | Cyclops | Wolverine 

6:30 Cyclops' optic blasts are not lazers they dont have heat. They're concussive energy force blasts from another dimension. Things dont melt they break, this is why he's able to slow down his fall.

The first 2 episodes were incredible!!! I absolutely loved this season premiere kick-off! I wasn't born in the '90s but my father kept a bunch of VHS tapes with a lot of the old X-Men: The Animated Series episodes on them and I grew up rewatching those same episodes as a kid. The action was fantastic, and I'm really digging the new animation style for the show. I just binged the entire original series, and I gotta say that this is a significant step up in terms of animation quality, of course. All the characters are just as charismatic as they were in the previous series, if not even more so. Hearing some of the classic voices return for their roles in this Revival series is so heartwarming and nostalgic. I'm also really digging the new blood when it comes to the new additions to the voice cast. The new voices for Gambit, Scott Summers, and Jubilee specifically sound really great and worthy successors to the original voice actors. I'm really loving what they're setting up for the overarching story of the season. I can't wait to move on to the next batch of episodes as soon as they release. Everything feels like a significant step up to a lot of the great things from the original show and this is clear proof that the people who worked on the show are true X-Men fans in grew up watching the original animated series. Ultimately, though, this awesome premier batch of episodes really reminded me how much I missed the X-Men as a family. It's been awhile since I really delve into the world of the X-Men like this and honestly I'm glad the show came out to reunite the fire I have for the X-Men that's some of the old fox movies might have dampered a little bit. Marvel's/The MCU's first crack at the X-Men was done masterfully, in my opinion, and I can't wait to see more! 10/10 Premiere for this show! 🎆✨️🙌

The clone of Magneto was /is Joseph , but this is the real Magneto. It's pulling from the comics where Magneto actually led the Xmen.

Others have likely mentioned it, but in the comics, Charles left Magneto in charge of the school when he went to space. Specifically, he mentored the New Mutants, including Roberto Da Costa (Sunspot), who was introduced in this episode. The original run of the animated series introduced another New Mutant, Sam Guthrie (Canonball).

Cyclops powers is not heat vision it doesn’t melt anything

The original animated series was basically inspired by the 1-150 comic books. These two episodes are a homage to 150-200 with Storm losing her powers, the Morlocks, the trial of Magneto and the birth of Nathan Summers though Jean Grey was not his mother...

This is where the fun begins!! The X-Men are back!!!! Now this, puts a smile on my face 😌

so, Scott's optic blast is not heat vision, it's pure kynetic energy, no heat, litterally like getting punched on the face, the visor allows him to modulate the potence of the blast because the default is less like a punch and more like a bullet train

Gyrich’s monologue about how racists believe tolerance leads to extinction is so damn relevant to today. I hope the MCU X-Men are this poignant with their writing.

to be fair magneto is the cofounder of the the school, but he decided that charle's path wasn't for him and went off to do things his own way, so this is essentially just him coming back home to what he initially started.

There are two types of reactions to Jubilee using her powers while dancing in the club: “Stop, that’ll make it obvious you’re mutants” or “Ooh, this animation is so cool!”

On Cyclops using his powers without his visor: his power is frequently misunderstood as heat vision, when it’s actually a concussive blast. It’s like a super-strength punch coming from his eyes, and the fact he can use enough force to push someone away without his visor shows how much self-control he must have; as does the fact he can propel himself with it… That’s what makes Cyclops so underrated, that he’s super-disciplined because he has to be but he can occasionally let his walls down when he trusts someone like with Jean. Of course, it also makes his personality boring on the surface for many audiences; he’s hard to appreciate if you take only the surface-level and don’t think about the stuff he’s got going on. And almost every adaptation for the last twenty-ish years fails to capture this which doesn’t help.

I am 16 years old and when I was a kid my dad introduced me to the old x-men cartoon because he’s a huge x-men nerd so I’ve been really excited for this

Killing momentum with an eye beam was the chef’s kiss

If Spider-Man from Spider-Man: The Animated Series shows up at some point in the series (since there were crossovers), I'm gonna freak out..even more, that is!

12:02 - 12:05 is perfectly framed to make it look like Wendy is the one leaning against the hand rail and grasping Gambit’s hand 🤣

Charles thought by giving Magneto everything because he knew he was truly good.

This storyline is heavily based off the mid 80's storylines of the X-Men. Xavier got a new cloned body his old one had be infected with a brood basically Marvel's version of Alien. His new body had working legs and left Earth to help Lilandra regain her throne after her sister took it. He left the school to Magneto because Erik was trying to change, they recently at the time revealed his Holocaust backstory and that Wanda and Pietro were his kids (Well at least at the time). Scott had left the X-Men to raise his son and then the original X-Men him, Jean, Angel, Iceman, and Beast all disagreeing with Magneto leading the X-Men formed their own team X-Factor. Oh, and Storm had a mohawk at the time.

Loved your guys commentary, you notice so many details for your age. (I'm over 60 and a long time x-man reader) And it is great to see fans that grew up with the show. I would recommend x-men 1-66 for anyone who wanted to see the original run of the comics. And one more time, you two are just the cutest couple and Xavier approved. Liberation for all.

My friend: "So is Magneto the X guy's friend, lover, or enemy?" Me: "😶...yes...and no...but, mainly yes😅"

As a true OG Marvel fan who got up on Saturday mornings circa 92’ - 93’ and bought the box set on DVD years later. I’m glad they’ve actually captured the essence of the original series I loved in high school. As a long time Marvel fan I can’t stand Disney’s (live action) comedic, immature MCU. Finally, some authentic quality Marvel content.

Storm is finally getting her justice

The New York Justice system in a nutshell. 25 years indeed.

Heck, so far I like them quite a bit! 90s look with Feige storytelling! What's not to love!?

9:24 My man Wolverine!!!! 🙏🏽💪

I'm glad they made Cyclops more badass

Storm always has been a glass canon

When you guys said ringtone, i had a flashback. I also used the theme as my ringtone on my nokia 3315. 😂😂😂

The boy with solar energy is Sunspot..

Scott's beams aren't heat based so they wouldn't have been melted

Scott's eye beams are purely concussive not heat based

Give em the forecast is the most bad ass corny line ever.

You know it's a mortal sin when you take off cyclops' visor

That’s the old school cyclops right there.

Jean Grey: "Its coming. Wolverine: Who? Apocalypse? Jean Grey: No the baby. I just laughed so hard.

I wasn’t born yet when this show came out in the 90s so what I do know of X-men is from the movies and comics. One thing I like about this show is seeing Cyclops be his own leader yeah he’s Xavier’s golden boy but with Xavier gone and his child on the way while Cyclops is loyal to Xavier’s dream he can’t implement it they way his mentor did having Jean mentally torture the guy is definitely a Cyclops tactic and not something Xavier would have done.

0:21 love Dustin excitement

I really loved it!!! The first two episodes was incredible. I love they update and honor the opening credits of the original X-Men series. The animation is cool. A great fun first episode.

check out the next episode but that was Magneto guys yes he owns the Xavier mansion. This was awesome wow

I watched the first 2 episodes and i just love it. Reminded me of why im an x-men fan and im looking forward to seeing the rest of the series

Wait, didn't you see this in theaters already? You made this seem like a first time reaction

i finally watched, caught up and need to see the reactions

Magneto lost his memory and became the character Joseph, for a short stint in the 90's.

Scott’s powers are concussive they’re not heat vision they won’t burn anything

Just so everyone knows cyclops eye blasts are not heat based or light based. More so his eyes are a portal to a different universe of pure kinetic energy more like a force beam. The reason it cuts through things is not because it melted more so cuts like a blade.

Magnetos younger version in The Age Of Apocalypse. His name was Joseph. It was given to him by a Nun that he saved.

Magneto was the star of the 2 episodes

Professor X was dying. Llandra took him to her planet to help him live out his life. Earth was no longer safe for him.

One of the stipulations Kevin Feige insisted upon for continuing this X-Men series was keeping the theme song. Yes, it's a bit different along with the animation. However, they aren't using the same stuff as it was done in the 1990s. So, the colors are brighter, the theme song is a little more futuristic, but it's still the same show. The world doesn't need to know that Professor Xavier is under the care of the Shi'ar Empire, which is where he has been, alive, since the end of the original run.

Kirby Krackle!!!! :-D

The sentinel blaster remind me of megaman buster when they blasted at storm and bishop

Its the real Magneto and it just proves that anyone can change

The first 2 episodes were great and dovetails nicely from the season 5 finale perfectly. You had reference to X-Men comic issue 200 with Magnetos look, connection to Spiderman TAS, the original team with the portrait hung inside the mansion, another comic storyline with Mr. Sinister creating a clone of Jean Grey with Madelyne Pryor who is the one that's pregnant with Nathan Summers. Nathan is short for Nathaniel referring to Nathaniel Essex the human alter ego to Mr. Sinister. She named her son Nathan out of loyalty to him. Also the Friends of Humanity storyline continues on. Also the leader of the friends of humanity is voiced by Laurence Bayne the OG voice of Cable from the 90s series. Chris Potter who voiced Gambit will voice Cable in this series. Also Catherine Disher the OG Jean Grey voice Senator Cooper in this series. Jennifer Hale has Marvel history as she voiced Jean Grey in Wolverine and the X-Men, Felicia Hardy in Spiderman TAS and Julia Carpenter in Iron Man TAS.

What do you call a Cruise ship full of mutants,? A mutiny.....!

I thought you guys already watched the first 3 episodes in the theater at a premiere? You just posted the out of theater reaction to the first 3 episodes six days ago. Or were those your variants???

OK, just to let y’all know know that is not a clone of magneto that is truly magneto. He is honoring Xavier‘s wish. For a while he was headmaster the X-Men he stayed there for a while but eventually he did revert back to. I wouldn’t say evil ways. However, in the house of X Run him and Xavier both run the school now have a I’m gonna leave that to you to the hellfire gala that happened this year and the events that allowed a big tragedy which is basically rebooting the X-Men comment in a way back to its roots.

Is it just me or does Master Mold sound like Zordon from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers?

It was incredibly good!!

So it sounds like you guys are watching for the first time but it looks like already saw the episodes out of the theater video

So many review videos by younger people who made me feel they’re just doing surface level fake reactions for views. This review video seemed less phony and more genuine :)

Man, I haven't heard a bad review of this yet. I'm digging it too. They're using profanity and showing blood too, but it's not gratuitous. It's just a bit more grown. Lol it's evolved... and I think all bad guys pronounce it "Evil-lution".

Wassup with Archangels quick cameo appearances?

*X-Men: The Animated Series* Main Villains Ranked 1. Apocalypse 2. Magneto 3. Jean Grey/Dark Phoenix 4. Mister Sinister 5. Master Mold 6. D'Ken

The one thing I never liked about the series is that shape shifters can only mimic the physique only not their abilities... that's why they're called "shape shifters"

Is sinister the father of clone jeans baby 🤱???

Gene and I are gonna have to fight, cuz Scott is MY boyfriend!

Dada, Dada da da da

Jubilee using the word "Besties" when the term wasn't even used yet until after 2010

I check this guys channel every now and then but WTH is going on with Dustin's hair? It needs a haircut... BADLY.
