It's always so interesting watching characters that were important only for a hot minute in the 90's being immortalized in this series. Nowadays, nobody knows who Shard or Fitzroy is.
But thanks to his “Krakoan Age” glow-up, many fans know about Nimrod! ….. Still sad that because of Bishop’s high standards he never got a chance to Krakoan resurrect Shard and Fitzroy. In the Bishop’s War College mini, he reveals he wants to resurrect them _after_ he turns Krakoa into a paradise without enemies, something that may never happen even in its best timeline.
Best marvel animated show. It had a ton of X-men characters and it was very well written. Like this episode, storm and wolverine are deeply in love and married in an alternate timeline and knowing fixing it will cause them not to be married. It tugged my heartstrings as a kid back then and even more so now. Great show. Second only to Batman tas as the best 90’s superhero series
It's pretty contrived how this correlates to Bastion's origins in X-Men '97. Nimrod was sent back in time to assassinate Charles Xavier while he was still in college so that a future where Sentinels ruled and mutants were being exterminated can exist. Nimrod fails due to the intervention of Wolverine, Storm, Bishop, and others from that same timeline, but unbeknownst to everyone, Nimrod leaves a part of itself that bonds to a janitor. The Janitor then impregnates a woman who would then have a son. Said son would fully bond with Nimrod's will and carry its preprogrammed mission of creating a future of Sentinel superiority.
I think Bishop should be given his own episodic action/comedy TV series. Each week, he'd go back in time and have a different adventure but always come back to a dystopian post-apocalyptic future. Nothing would need to be canonical, and all the episodes could be watched independently from one another. He could be placed in all sorts of situations from the absurd to the badass. He'd also have different guest stars every week.
I didn't realize Shard was Bishop's sister. So sad she died but he was tough AF to not even let it phase him (on the outside) and carry on to save her and his entire timeline from not happening.
@@HonestFred in the 80s, 90s his healing factor was not immortality... it took weeks for him to heal from an injury that might takes months for others but it didn't make him invincible
Nimrod was so op that whenever he existed that era will always be the end of mutant.... Who would win? First mutant, a living God, the end of all things. Vs Pink Robot toys that will never be broken.
Yeah, how they gonna make Morph look like some fake Chameleon from Spiderman? They really didn’t need to that. They have Northstar but they want the popular characters.😖
Wolverine and storm aren't from the future. They are from an altered present. By the time bishop went to get the xmens help the time line change already reached them. Both wolverine and storm are from a timeline with no xavier and magneto leading the resistance against the sentinels
"BACK AT'CHA LOW-LIFE!!!!" Bishop was SOOOOOO BADASSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! And freakin loved Shard and the AWESOME HAIR-CUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ugh!!!!! The 4 episode arcs Bishop had WERE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DISNEY DON'T EFFFF THIS UP!!!!!!!
Growing up, I only heard the word "Nimrod" from bugs bunny. So, when this sentinel came, I wondered why they called it something like "idiot". Then years later I learned the truth.
Yeah, Nimrod used sarcastically by a cartoon rabbit destroyed the true meaning behind the word which was one the greatest biblical hunters. It’s like if some took the German word for hunter and made it a frat boy drink.
