what would you like to see in season 2 of Wolverine and the X-Men

[Dread]

Now that Season One, the good, bad, and ugly is in for the books, what would I like for Season Two?

1). Better characterization. This doesn't just boil down to, "I want a focus episode for Iceman". Iceman wouldn't need one if he was getting enough lines and things to do every episode; same for Storm. Focus episodes are the lazy writer's way to do characterization for TV series. The truly skilled like Greg Wiesman does a little every week.

2). Colossus, especially. But a special condition; only if he is written as an actual CHARACTER, not "a walking cool design" who is also competent, or at least isn't getting instantly "owned" in every fight he is in. Basically, an improvement from the "Colossus" that showed up in eight episodes for X-MEN EVOLUTION by the same creative team who only had hints and vague clues at a character, and lost almost more fights than Toad.

The only problem is that since Colossus basically didn't show up in Season One, there is really little chance of him getting to define himself or matter in any way equal to any of the other core X-Men of Season 1 simply due to so much time off-screen. He is destined for B-List status; can anyone think of any comic book show where a character outright sat out 25 episodes worth of time and then came in to matter a great deal, as much as the regulars? I can't. Just at least give him a good episode so we can stop downloading "RED DAWN" on Veoh for chrissakes.

3). The writers to realize that Wolverine can be a great character without being The Perfect X-Man Who Is Always right.

4). The writers also realizing that unfair portions of solo Wolverine episodes hurt the rest of the X-Men; one or two such episodes a season are fine; six is borderline fan-fiction.

5). Cyber. I mean this is a Wolverine show, right? They did Silver Samurai well; HULK VS. WOLVERINE had a good Omega Red, and Sabretooth is what he is. But it would be very cool to find a way to animate Sam Keith's creation.

6). While we are at it, I wouldn't mind seeing Bloodscream and Roughhouse show up, even if you don't have to claim that the latter is related to a Rock Troll like the comics did. I mean if Wolverine is going to be overdone anyway, may as well cover more of his baddies.

7). Future Xavier to get taken out. Seriously, if you're going to have Wolverine lead, then have him actually lead. Crap or get off the pot.

8). This is probably the biggest and most controversial one. Not only bring Frost back, but pair her up with Scott, while Jean dates Logan. Seriously. I think it could be great dramatic tension. Jean is curious and has "outgrown" Cyclops. Cyclops, meanwhile, figures that between two women with habits of blowing up, Frost is the cooler one. This allows Wolverine to put up or shut up about being "more worthy" of Jean than Scott, and some awkward scenes at the war room with Frost & Jean exchanging icey stares. The movies all wanted to pair Logan with Jean anyway. So be unique, do it. I think this set up, if written well, could be the same stuff as people flooding the internet over Lance/Kitty from EVOLUTION. C'mon, Mr. Kyle, you know you want to do this.

9). Sabretooth to rent a new costume, any new costume. His design is one of the rare F-up's of the show. He's terrible from the neck down. Either go spandex or trench, not both. And get a better spandex.

10). Better writing. Because without that, any wish list is pointless. Execution is truly everything. Don't juggle two plots when doing one well will suffice.

 

[Shadow-T]

I am pretty sure season 2 will improve, but I'm hoping the crew does some of these things:

1: better soundtrack (This show has some of the most generic music I've ever heard. Can we get some themes for these characters please)

2: better fight scenes (I just saw season 2 of Spectacular Spiderman and all I can say is WOW!!)

3: the Brown & Yellow suit (They gotta do it)

4: Better chemistry between Cyclops and Wolverine (I don't wanna see another episode where Wolverine briefs the team on a mission and Cyclops is in the back just chillin'....HORRIBLE!)

I seriously hate the idea of Wolverine dating Jean while Scott dates Emma. Doesn't work to me, and IMHO has never worked.

I'd be much more interested in the possibility of Rogue/Wolverine which is at least something different.

 

[CaptainCanada]

I seriously hate the idea of Wolverine dating Jean while Scott dates Emma. Doesn't work to me, and IMHO has never worked.

How could it never have worked when it's never been done?

 

[TheVileOne]

Wolverine and Jean were a couple in AoA, and it didn't work.

Also, Jean and Wolverine together just doesn't work IMHO because I've never felt that Jean could truly love or devote herself to Wolverine.

Wolverine and Rogue really hasn't been done either.

 

[Neptune]

- Gambit joining the X-men.
- Deadpool!
- More team battles.


and....

. The writers to realize that Wolverine can be a great character without being The Perfect X-Man Who Is Always right.

Why didn't Wolverine and Jean in AoA work? I can see Jean and Wolvie together in this cartoon though. It's clear that Emma has a crush on Cyclops and Cyclops might actually come to realize that Jean has as much personality as a cardboard box. Emma is so much more fun.

 

[TheVileOne]

I think Wolverine even said he felt Jean only loved him out of gratitude. It felt obligatory because Scott was pretending to be "evil."

 

[Dread]

The problem with Wolverine/Rogue in this show romantically is that it would make Logan appear to be hitting on jail-bait and that's not something a network would allow. Rogue in this show likely isn't older than Bobby and considering Wolverine's like 100 years old, someone who is at least over 21 like Jean is tends to go down better. Part of me wonders if this is why Colossus and Kitty have never been attempted as a couple on-screen yet; that epic 5 year gap (in the original comics, a 13-14 year old Kitty was crushing on a 19 at youngest Colossus). The easy solution would simply be to make Colossus a little younger and Kitty a little older; I mean a 17 year old Colossus can still be large and stoic after all. However, Iceman is around her age and that was done in Ultimate X-Men, which is why it was preferred.

The problem is that if Frost does return in Season 2 and is paired up with Scott, while they would become an interesting couple, that leaves Jean with nothing to do. Logan is her only romantic alternative. If it doesn't work out, hey, shocking, let's play that out, let's show it! SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN had Peter date Liz Allen despite clearly being into Gwen for several episodes now, and it would be very interesting. He even came off as a cad without intending to be! Considering Logan isn't nearly the jerk he is in the comics and is, basically, Grandpa X-Man, I don't see what Jean would see negatively in him.

Sure, it things between Jean and Logan didn't work out, it may have the potential to make Logan look less-than-perfect in a situation...which would make him much more interesting. Seriously, Wolverine's damn boring as Ultimate X-Man, and if the writers relearn that, all the better.

Jean's boring but a triangle between her and Frost would get old very quickly, because the writers are too traditional to have Scott date anyone so long as Jean is on screen and not spoken for. I mean who else would Jean date if not Scott or Logan; BEAST!?

However, Iceman is around her age and that was done in Ultimate X-Men, which is why it was preferred.

Technically Wolverine being involved with any woman is jailbait if you go with his actual age. Rogue's behavior early in the season definitely implied something more between them.

You also can't discount that Mystique still holds something in her heart for Wolverine. Its newly established in canon that Mystique and Wolverine were loves in the 20's and it ended very poorly. Their relationship in this show was forged during Weapon X, and it seemed to be a much more compassionate, noble type of relationship where Logan sacrificed his well being to save Mystique. One could argue that Mystique in this show is best suited for Wolverine age-wise if Mystique can get over her mutant terrorist angle.

Steven Blum's take is that Wolverine is "completely non-committal" and he has to stay that way.

This show never established Rogue's age or being underage. She could be a late teenager who has had to grow up too quickly and has become very withdrawn due to her powers.

Also, Evolution did sort of give a nod to Kitty/Colossus even though it didn't go anywhere. Kitty in this show at least appears to be of age rather than jailbait.

Also Iceman and Kitty in Ultimate X-men was over and done in like one issue. And both were like 15. They are now college age in this show.

The problem is that if Frost does return in Season 2 and is paired up with Scott, while they would become an interesting couple, that leaves Jean with nothing to do. Logan is her only romantic alternative. If it doesn't work out, hey, shocking, let's play that out, let's show it!

Considering Logan isn't nearly the jerk he is in the comics and is, basically, Grandpa X-Man, I don't see what Jean would see negatively in him.

This makes no sense to me though. You can't have Emma come back, get with Scott, Jean sticks around and dates Logan all in one season. That's just so arbitrary and weird. Emma and Scott only got together after Jean died and they were having a psychic affair after Scott and Jean had grown apart after The Twelve ordeal.

Spectacular Spider-man is different. That's a show about a teenaged, high school Peter Parker. Peter at the time dated multiple women and had different girlfriends throughout his teen years. There's a precedent for this.

Also, there's nothing to suggest that Jean truly loves Wolverine. I mean what would their relationship be based on? Scott dumping her for Emma and Jean dates Logan as a result. This isn't Days of Our Lives.
Sure, it things between Jean and Logan didn't work out, it may have the potential to make Logan look less-than-perfect in a situation...which would make him much more interesting. Seriously, Wolverine's damn boring as Ultimate X-Man, and if the writers relearn that, all the better.

Jean's boring but a triangle between her and Frost would get old very quickly, because the writers are too traditional to have Scott date anyone so long as Jean is on screen and not spoken for. I mean who else would Jean date if not Scott or Logan; BEAST!?

Depending how faithful they play to Jean's history . . . they would probably have Jean dating the worms in her casket.

 

[Dread]

Technically Wolverine being involved with any woman is jailbait if you go with his actual age. Rogue's behavior early in the season definitely implied something more between them.

The impression I got was the same from the X-MEN films basically. Wolverine has a "mentor" relationship with Rogue outwardly, although privately Rogue likely has some sort of "cool older man" attraction going.

The only animated example I can think of with a show doing something similar was in BATMAN BEYOND, when it was established that at some point Bruce Wayne dated the college-aged Batgirl for some time in the Bruce Timm continuity (which was alluded to in the DTV MYSTERY OF THE BATWOMAN). Granted, this was all in exposition and allusions, not outright showing, and Kid's WB likely allowed Timm to get away with more than other shows. While I admit that might be interesting, quite frankly I don't see this production team having the stones to push the envelope quite that far.

You also can't discount that Mystique still holds something in her heart for Wolverine. Its newly established in canon that Mystique and Wolverine were loves in the 20's and it ended very poorly. Their relationship in this show was forged during Weapon X, and it seemed to be a much more compassionate, noble type of relationship where Logan sacrificed his well being to save Mystique. One could argue that Mystique in this show is best suited for Wolverine age-wise if Mystique can get over her mutant terrorist angle.

Steven Blum's take is that Wolverine is "completely non-committal" and he has to stay that way.

That's very true; the episode that established that was one of the few Wolverine solo episodes that was actually good. They've connected Mystique to Wolverine romantically at least in their past and it will be interesting if that goes somewhere, since Season 2 more than likely would have at least another one or two Weapon X episodes, if only so Kyle & Yost can get more rocks off on X-23, their "creation". Part of me is still so astonished that out of the legions of decent characters created at the start of the NEW MUTANTS/ACADEMY X run, it is X-23 that has endured. I am curious how Daniel Way's Daken will do long term.

Things will get REALLY hairy if this show maintains the Weapon X thing with Mystique and Wolverine as well as the connections that Mystique, in the comics, had in the pasts of Nightcrawler (his biological mother) and Rogue (a foster mother). Talk about sordid!

Indeed, Logan sacrificed his freedom and who he was to free Mystique from Weapon X, which is good and noble. Nice foundation there.

Not to complain, but noting how it is very different from the presentation of Scott & Jean, which in comparison is a much sicker relationship bred upon by co-dependence and mutual neediness. Both only love the other because they need the other for support and/or protection, and when no other options are available. Jean was willing to sacrifice herself for Scott, and Scott was...um...willing to scream a lot and fire optic blasts at stuff for her.

This show never established Rogue's age or being underage. She could be a late teenager who has had to grow up too quickly and has become very withdrawn due to her powers.

Also, Evolution did sort of give a nod to Kitty/Colossus even though it didn't go anywhere. Kitty in this show at least appears to be of age rather than jailbait.

Also Iceman and Kitty in Ultimate X-men was over and done in like one issue. And both were like 15. They are now college age in this show.

I doubt Rogue is as old as Jean is in this show. Kitty seems younger than Bobby by at least a year. These things are fuzzy.

Come to think of it, I wouldn't mind an episode in Season 2 on Rogue's backstory. Both Evolution and the 90's X-Men series played with her past a lot, but it was always effective. She's a tragic character, and that plays off well.

There was nothing between Kitty and Colossus in EVOLUTION beyond a few exchanged words at the end of Season 3. That was all Colossus got in EVOLUTION. In eight episodes, you only got peeks or hints or allusions to things that were NEVER brought up or brought to fruition. By then he was of course one more character among many, but then again he would have been a better choice for the main roster than Spyke sure was for two seasons, but I digress.

Frankly if Colossus shows up in Season 2 I expect him to do nothing but maybe punch something, not be treated as a character. So I'm not too concerned about Iceman/Kitty.

This makes no sense to me though. You can't have Emma come back, get with Scott, Jean sticks around and dates Logan all in one season. That's just so arbitrary and weird. Emma and Scott only got together after Jean died and they were having a psychic affair after Scott and Jean had grown apart after The Twelve ordeal.

It's more "arbitrary" than claiming that the Dark Phoenix plot and the Master Mold plot were both joined at the hip in Season 1? Outside of EXILES, Wanda and Kurt never dated before or since, yet the show's done wonders in that regard.

You have a point that it would have been far easier to have killed Jean rather than Frost to set this up, but as I noted in my review the situation was a Catch-22; offing Jean would have been more predictable, and had less impact because she had little focus across the season personally. The current status quo, though, leaves a more boring couple with a Frost who is asking for a resurrection.

What I am saying is, can't Scott & Jean have some sort of seperation without needing her to die or vanish or something? Can't they act like normal people and, gasp, have a relationship run it's course? It's that kind of unrealistic melodrama that sometimes threatens to make the X-Men a parody of itself. This is a franchise that expects you to take a four armed threat named Sugar Man of the UTMOST seriousness.

Also, there's nothing to suggest that Jean truly loves Wolverine. I mean what would their relationship be based on? Scott dumping her for Emma and Jean dates Logan as a result. This isn't Days of Our Lives.

If you're saying the X-Men shouldn't be about soap opera style romances at times, that ship sailed about 35 years ago, buddy.

Again, "true love"? That's a friggin' cliche of fiction. In real life people date around quite often or may even date other people before rediscovering an older flame. Jean doesn't have to "truly love" Logan to want to date him for a short while. Same with any other character really. Sadly, the X-Mansion is usually too humorless for that kind of thing.

Depending how faithful they play to Jean's history . . . they would probably have Jean dating the worms in her casket.

To be honest, while I would have taken the episode to task if they expected me to care about Jean's death at this rate since she really wasn't a character, it would have left Scott & Frost in a more interesting position for season two than they are now. But the fact of the matter is that unless we are clamoring for more "SCOTT!" "JEEEEAANNN!" style crap, if Frost comes back, Jean has to do SOMETHING besides die. Can't we find something to do with her besides attaching her to Scott or murdering her? Can't anyone?

That was why I said, do what no one ever had the balls to do, Logan & Jean for a short bit. Make Logan put his money where his mouth is. "Yer no good fer her, Summers!" and all that, well, step up Wolverine. That'd be fascinating to me. At least for a little while. But I would rather take an interesting situation for even two episodes than a safe and bland one for 20.

 

[TheVileOne]

To recap, Dread:

-really likes Colossus

-really likes Cyclops and doesn't like it when Cyclops is flawed

-hates Wolverine

-is an Emma/Cyclops shipper

-deep down, hates Jean Grey

I don't want to go over each point. But basically this show did PHOENIX. Not Dark Phoenix. Phoenix wasn't established as this dark malevolent being that murdered millions. The Cuckoos and Hellfire Club tried to control it to hurt others.

Also, I wasn't suggesting Jean should've died at the end of this season, but if they want to be sort of faithful to the comics and have Cyclops dating Emma at some point . . . then Jean should eventually be dating the worms .

 

[FVD]

'ey Vile finally got rid of Samoa Joe eh. Must've had that for a while huh?

 

[Cyma]

Lol. It’s strange, but interesting to see guys arguing over who should be paired with whom

Besides wanting Gambit to join and see some Remy/Rogue romance in season 2, I’m more interested in seeing how the process of getting Emma and Scott together will be achieved rather than them actually being a couple. He’s madly in love with Jean. They’ve known each other since they were kids. He was immune to a scantily-clad Emma when Jean was presumed dead, how could any woman penetrate him now that she’s alive?

As for Rogue/Wolverine, it’s just too creepy. Logan called her a kid at the end of Foresight, and Rogue does act like a whiny teenager than a whiny woman. And if Rogue turns out to be Mystique’s adopted daughter then it would be worst than Peter/Claire in Heroes.

But I think it’s about time to give Wolverine a girlfriend in present time instead of flashbacks. The same old excuses of ‘I’m a monster, it’s too dangerous,’ are getting boring. And his life isn’t as screwed up as the TAS Wolvie’s life. So what's the excuse? Will his rough and tough manly image be compromised infront of the team? Or is he afraid of being whipped like Scott since he's always picking on him for being so attached to Jean. Whatever it is, just pair him up with Jean, Mystique or anyone not too young.

 

[insane polaris]

Im hoping Polaris joins the X-men in the next season now that Magneto isnt protecting her (keeping her captive). Scarlet Witch is on friendly terms with the X-men. so she might send Lorna to them.

She is also similar age to Iceman, if they wanted to go down that route. (although id prefer if they kept her interest in Gambit)

 

[TheVileOne]

I'm not sure why Wanda would want to send Lorna to the X-men though since she doesn't really trust any of them besides Kurt. When she contacted them, Kurt was the only one she was willing to speak to

Iceman and Kitty already have a sort of thing. And who knows if they've really killed Lorna/Gambit for good.

 

[Deaths Head II]

If they're doing Age of Apocalypse, I hope they don't just show Cyclops in his AoA form.

Specifically, I want to see Dark Beast.

 

[Dread]

To recap, Dread:

-really likes Colossus

-really likes Cyclops and doesn't like it when Cyclops is flawed

-hates Wolverine

-is an Emma/Cyclops shipper

- I do like Colossus.
- I like Cyclops and I don't mind him as flawed, my only problem comes when he is written as completely and utterly incompetent in every situation, and above all unsympathetic in the least. Cyclops doesn't work as an anti-hero, or a villain. Many anti-heroes are at least rootable.Come to think of it, Kyle mentioned in some lead up interviews of wanting Cyclops to sort of go on a journey with this new status quo. Well, how is Scott different in episode 23 than he is in episode 1? He still is selfish, petty, psychotically obsessed with Jean Grey, incompetent in battle, and more than willing to abandon his mates at any moment to mourn Jean or find Jean. He's changed in no way. How is that a journey!?
- Wolverine was my favorite X-Man as a child and still would be on a "dream roster" of seven X-Men of my own choosing today. I only "hate" him when he isn't written to his potential and/or is written to be blatantly superior to all his teammates, and a spotlight hog.
- I am a Frost/Cyclops shipper. I was a Rogue/Scott shipper in EVOLUTION.
- I really don't usually care for Jean Grey; at best she is often bland. I respect EVOLUTION for trying to make her more memorable and assertive, though. In this show she was a walking Maguffin.

Since turnabout is fair play, to recap, this is TheVileOne's favorite toy:
http://pwbeat.publishersweekly.com/blog/wp-content//2009/03/twiddlerompus.jpg

(Well, likely not. But I found it hilarious when I stumbled upon it at The Beat. )

Anyway, to me, any story where the Hellfire Club wants to harness the Phoenix Force for evil and it goes on a rampage instead is dubbed "Dark Phoenix" for my mind to wrap around. And yes, I do know that if the show wanted to live up to current comics, Jean needs to die. But I was just suggesting an alternative to her besides dying. Maybe Scott becomes less psychically obsessed? Can't their relationship end without a death and move on? Or is the WOMEN IN REFRIGERATORS culture too strong to break, even in the minds of fans?

I agree that Rogue/Logan is a bit creepy, but then again so was Wayne/Barbara in BATMAN BEYOND and they went for it.

I also agree that it would be nice for Logan to have a non-flashback relationship to some woman on screen someday, and it may as well be on a titular show. Either Mystique or Jean to me.

I'm a big fan of your posts Dread and I agree with this sentiment 100%.

 

[Dread]

I'm a big fan of your posts Dread and I agree with this sentiment 100%.

That's cool. I mean I am all for being true to the comics, but at the same token, I also am a fan of finding something to do with characters beyond killing them.

Over at the SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN forums many fans are trying to debate when Gwen will be killed off, or how, or whether it should be done, and all I can say is, if you have a good character, is it worth mindlessly repeating the comics if you can tell a good story without it?

But, beyond debating what the first season did or didn't do right, how about some more "wish list" style stuff for Season 2?

- Much like in EVOLUTION, an episode trying to reunite the original five X-Men. A perfect example would be an episode where Cyclops, Jean, Beast and Iceman all team up to try to free Archangel from Mr. Sinister's clutches, or are involved in some way. It would help recap that all five were "good friends" to each other rather than simply telling us. Showing is better the exposition.

- In a similar vein, how about an homage to the oft forgotten "Australian" team? That means an episode with Wolverine, Storm, Colossus, Psylocke, and Havok? Could be interesting. Christ Yost writes some episodes and he's having a ball with Havok in KINGBREAKER. It might be fun to showcase the idea that unlike Cyclops, who at best was usually a rival with Wolverine, Alex actually got along with Logan. In the comics, the two went on a few adventures together, and were part of that X-Men roster while Cyke was still with X-Factor. Since Cyclops in W&TXM is nothing but his worst faults personified with nothing appealing or strength-oriented, it could be interesting to introduce Havok and present him as the "ideal" Summers brother. Everything Scott isn't; selfless, competent, not psychologically obsessive or needy. It might be fun to reverse the "can't get out of Cyclops' shadow" dynamic since in this show, Cyclops has nothing WORTH emulating. Hey, if you can't beat a dynamic, play with it!

Plus, yeah, more Colossus. Or any Colossus. It is a total rip to feature him in a toy and in advertising art with nada in show. Kids like him.

- An episode focusing on Beast. With Mr. Sinister and Apocalypse, I wonder if "Dark Beast" may be popping up. Granted, that'd just be similar to what happened to Warren, but a good way to showcase Hank's past and what makes him special.

 

[RootBeerMaster]

I want to either see, Gambit join the x-men, or at lest start hanging out with Rogue, Sort of helping the x-men from time to time.
More GAMBIT episodes.

More of the Kitty and Iceman relationship. if nothing else so they can't do the awful, horrible relationship of Bobby and Rogue, that makes me Hate almost anything x-men. I wish the guy who had thought of that would have his head examened.

Have Cable and Rachel Summers appear.

Spoiler

After all Season 2 is the Age of Apcolypes, and you see X-MAN in the final episode of season 1

Jubilee - this is Wolverine and the X-men last I checked, so where is his Unoffical Sidekick.

I also want Surge and Armor to make an Appearance.

Spoiler

Also not really sure how I feel about season 2 since they brought Jean Back witch means Cyclops should be the leader again and not wolverine, I was ok with it when she was missing cause it made sense but now that she is back it really doesn't.

Havok Should also appear in Season 2

 

[sniktsnakt]

Is there a rumor out yet about when we should start counting down for the second season to air?

 

[Cyma]

[FONT=&quot]2010, but there’s a possibility that season 2 would be out in other languages before that since it was given a green light in Dec 2008 and Wiki says it’s in post production[/FONT].

I agree that Rogue/Logan is a bit creepy, but then again so was Wayne/Barbara in BATMAN BEYOND and they went for it.

I also agree that it would be nice for Logan to have a non-flashback relationship to some woman on screen someday, and it may as well be on a titular show. Either Mystique or Jean to me.

I guess it’s only creepy when the girl is a teenager and the guy isn’t.

You know with Scott loving Jean to death, and the unexpected Angel/Storm pairing, there’s also a possibility of Emma/Wolvie

 

[CyclopsSummers]

Things will get REALLY hairy if this show maintains the Weapon X thing with Mystique and Wolverine as well as the connections that Mystique, in the comics, had in the pasts of Nightcrawler (his biological mother) and Rogue (a foster mother). Talk about sordid!

Yeah in this anime Mystique isnt Kurt's mother and she have a past story about weapon X

 

[Ratcrawler]

Yeah in this anime Mystique isnt Kurt's mother and she have a past story about weapon X

I don't believe they ever actually said she wasn't his mom. Did Kurt & Mystique ever interact after she knocked him out?
