X-Men ‘97 X-Men ‘97 News and Discussion Thread (TAG SPOILERS!!!!)

[BobJM]

My wishlist for season 2 isn't long. I just want these characters to appear
-Iceman
-Colossus
-Psylocke
-Polaris (which is confirmed)
-Angel

And appear in the intro with their name on.

Yes please; I’d love. AND…I’d like to see Mystique return. Still can’t believe she didn’t pop up somewhere in S1.

And I’d be surprised if we don’t see Laura / X-23 appear in this series eventually.

If we're making wishlists for Season 2:

* Mesmero
* Colossus
* Deadpool
* Psylocke
* Archangel
* Lady Deathstrike
* The Punisher
* Juggernaut
* Magik (actual Magik, not a transformation)
* Lockheed
* Toad
* Blob
* Avalanche
* Pyro
* Sabretooth
* Omega Red

If they introduce Kitty Pryde, how would they do it?

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

God, please keep Katherine Pryde far away from this show.

But I’m putting him on the wishlist:

 

[BobJM]

Juggernaut could be a cool first villain for the MCU tbh

 

[Donner]

I’d like to see the Uncanny X-Men series play out where they die but are resurrected in Australia. I know it can’t be in the show based on the established timeline, but it’s one of my favourite series.

So, I guess introducing the Reavers might be interesting?

 

[psylockolussus]

I would like to see Marrow, Cecilia and Maggott as well.

X-Men 97 indeed!

 

[squeekness]

Maggott!!!!!!!

 

[AndrewGilkison]

If they introduce Kitty Pryde, how would they do it?

Okay, here is how I would do it.

Canonically in the show, there is no reason Kitty couldn't have already been a member. Night Of The Sentinels introduces Jubilee, but the rest of the team was already been established. Iceman even has a guest episode as one of the OG team members/a past student of Xavier's who had a falling out with him. So in the OG series the team had been around awhile.

So what if in season 3 she comes in the same way she returned to the series in Astonishing X-Men, as a former junior member who left, went on to do normal stuff and now has come back at a pivotal moment, as an adult.

Yep, that's kind of how I see it.

We can see a picture of her in S01 finale and she's an adult already. So, yeah that's a very possible path.

I do hope some classic members like her, Bobby, Colossus, Betsy etc join the main team eventually.

 

[psylockolussus]

Maggott!!!!!!!

The season 2 breakout character!

There's absolutely no reason Kitty Pryde couldn't be introduced or written in at some point.

We're talking about a show that retroactively made Angel/Warren Worthington one of the original X-Men. Yet when the character is first introduced in S1, the X-Men act like they've never even met him before.

Look at Psylocke. They had her appear during the Apocalypse multi-parter. She's introduced as a thief. Vaguely references her brother. She already has her Kwannon body. We never see her again after that Apocalypse miniseries though.

[Donner]

LOL.

 

[Lily Adler]

I'm sure they'll get to see him in those heroic poses.

 

[Pennywise]

 

[OrbOfConfusion]

Instead of just putting it on Twitter or even YouTube for free?

 

[Pennywise]

 

[AndrewGilkison]

Maybe they "marginalized" his season 2 involvement because he was sending unsolicited pictures of himself in various states of undress to his co-workers and being emotionally abusive.

 

[Sithborg]

Why do I think he is going to make a Spacey excuse?

 

[Donner]

So Disney made up lies about sexual harassment and groping because DeMayo was concerned about the Blade set?

And he expects people to believe that?

 

[Lily Adler]

I found this video a good summation of what happened.

Because Out magazine called him sexy.

 

[Lily Adler]

Legit shocked at Bryan Singer not included Kurt's swordfighting in X2.

 

[AndrewGilkison]

He was going to have a fight scene with Toad (who was also controlled by Striker), but that whole thing got cut.
