X-Men '97 Still Insanely Good! w/ Ben and Hassan | Absolutely Marvel & DC 

One of the best things about this show is that it just feels like it’s a part of the Marvel universe, where it doesn’t have to drop loads of references or have cameos. It’s just like oh look Mutants, no wait Aliens….now magic! It’s very classic marvel, it doesn’t spoon feed you, it just does stuff and then makes you want to research the world.

"I have very little sympathy for Jean" is crazy to say about a woman who ws literally kidnapped, violated and woke up to what sge perceives as her husband being married to her clone with kid

17:00 “Remember it” was kind of Gambits catch phrase in the OG series. That’s why he said it with such weight.

I was almost Dissapointed with how fast the Madelyn Pryor/Goblin Queen story was rushed through and i almost thought she was gonna be gone all season but then seeing how Episode 5 slotted her into the Emma Frost role of Scotts Pyschic Affair not only is so well done but it makes the matter so much more complex. Also,i love how they added element that she is the true mother of Cable and seeing her recognize him before he shifts back through the time portal was such an amazing sequence. This animation style has also been legitimately amazing. I was a big fan of What If's animation style,but this series feels like the best animation to come from any Marvel Product since the amazing Japanese Intros of the original Xmen the Animated Series.

That "lizard kid" was Leech.

Was anyone else really excited to see Nightcrawler in the opening sequence of the latest episode? I was so hyped, finally he’s gonna really shine!

I retract all my statements about Hassan needing to read more comics haha

I love that storm the queen is back! And the professor!

The name gambit remember it

gambit says the hardest line yet just to fucking die and then gives us the most gut wrenching scene with rogue

Hassan : "Well prof x is dead in this show okay" Ep 6 : " you sure bout that"

15:33 I believe Wanda clearly (word by wordy) said it during Wandavision. But she did have a scene with human form Vision in Infinity War that would be a reference to “I can’t feel you”

Love Hassan catching the Jean hair change. I noticed also that today after Jean caught Scott with Maddie she has her hair DOWN. Like she's trying to be her. Lol

Episode 5 is one of the greatest episodes of anything I've ever seen

Hearing him say, “homeboy” couldn’t be more unnatural

FINALLY I BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SINCE EPISODE 5

Both the X-Men and Batman animated series were both big parts of my childhood. Wolverine was my favorite on the main X-Men team, but Mystique was my favorite overall. Since I'm trans I thought how cool it would be if I could just transform into a woman.

Gambit will most likely come back as we know he shows up in Spider-Man with different eyes

I want to believe that leach stole magnito's powers and saved him. By making him seem less important then the other mutant threats to the wild sentinels.

“I’m a rich guy. Woe is me” is crazy😭😭😭😭😭

16:26 I think Cable is there to give us hope that will be wrentched away by the season finale. I do think Gambit is dead, I do think Magneto is alive. Madelyn dieing after learning Nathan made it is bitter sweet. Showrunner said (im paraphrasing), this is the Mutants' 9-11. As far as Gambit dieing, Im theorizing him coming back as the Horseman Death. Possibly as a season 2 mystery or mission to bring him back.

At this point we gotta start a petition"Bring Beau demayo BACK" that man was on his bull shit with this one. I grew up watching this show and I cried, I can't even lie. This show is great.

I'm glad you guys are on board. I haven't looked forward to a show coming out every week in a long time. Even got my wife watching it and she knows nothing about xmen 😅

Yessss!! I love this. I can’t wait until Sal or hopefully all 4 of you to do a video! 😌

Best animation bar none? Have you seen Vox Machina and Castlevania still to this day peak animation for america. Hassan is doing lines

Please talk about the Ultimate DC Universe with Scott Snyder

14:19 is it me or does anyone else feel like old and young Jubilee reminds them of the Netflix Scott Pilgrim show of old and young Ramona. Nothing wrong with either or just needed to point it out

If you've ever watched Adventure time they do the same thing in Fiona and Cake. The show has grow with the audience and is very meta within it's self especially if you have watched the entire series it is such a great version of the original show but now that the audience is grown. They had always had pg 13 inside adult jokes and noods but not in this way. It's like as if Adventure Time and Rick and Morty had a baby.

I’m thinking Onslaught is coming soon. Somehow 😮

i think this will be reversed by the finale, probably on the final episode honestly. i refuse to believe Gambit is permanently dead. Cable fighting Apocalypse in the intro kind of tells me what i need to know for the rest of the season.

Did he just call my boy Leech the lizard guy?!?!? Smh😅

Give me fasbender as this Magneto, fuck that would be awesome

They're not going to undo any of this with time travel. Magneto isn't dead. The mutants he was protecting saved his life. Gambit is dead, but he'll be resurrected as the horseman "Death" for Apocalypse

Deadpool (& wolverine) trailer just dropped on Ryan Reynolds Yt,how long til we get a reaction/discussion vid? Looking like you can piece together ALOT more of the movie from this one.

I don’t give a fuck how’s it’s done but please give me Krakoa animated

Dp trailer dropped on Ryan Reynolds yt

The only thing I don’t like about xmen as a whole, is gambit and rogue love story. Inhibihor collars exist in this universe just like they do in the young justice universe. If they wanted to get it on, just hook rogue up with one. Then take it off once they’re done. It’s so annoyingly frustrating. They don’t have to be this thing of evil. In young justice they’re offered to contain their powers until they can control them. Here they could be used to turn rogues powers off for a human connection 🙄

Get Rob back in on the Xmen videos if you can please! I know he's a busy guy and it's a challenge but please try.

👍

Please talk about this show

the story is from e for extinction.

23:01 Please no just leave it alone and let them cook.

It's honestly ok, it's a weird mesh of 90s dialogue, and silly characters but also trying to be adult and don't forget about adding in cheap overly sexual content to the show too. I really wish we had gotten something like X-Men Evolution( a ton of class, intelligence, still for kids but enjoyable for adults too) and mixed in some Morrison X-Men. Basically better showrunners

The Rogue/Magneto relationship is super cringe reminds me of a groomer.

Surprised you guys didn't mention the Watcher appearing in the destruction of genosha.

🥘

it's not an MCU tie in. The watcher normally shows up before a calamity

I'm with Benny, Magneto doesn't look that great.

you talk about young justice constantly hassan we are sick of t
