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

This looks fun; the animation doesn't look stellar, but I at least like it better than the What-If style.

Not too much Jean, but that makes sense given her pregnancy. Will definitely be tuning in on March 20

Mutant fashion show newspaper headline, UN building, Charles/Magneto statues, and fireworks. Definitely some Krakoan era vibes there.

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

Got chills and had the biggest smile on my face watching this trailer

Animation looks great and nice to hear familiar voices

 

[The Caped Knight]

Can’t wait to see this.

The Daily Bugle has the following headlines at 0:31:

1. Inside Scoop: Mutant Fashion show (featuring, or referencing, Banshee, Dust, Maggot, and unsure who the mutant in the green puffer is--it looks like a hybrid between Doop, Wolfsbane, and Marrow)
2. Is Spider-Man a mutant?
3. Hellfire Gala - text by Eddie Brock, photos by Peter Parker

It also looks like the soldiers at 0:42 are representing the UN (not Friends of Humanity, even though you see a sign w/ their logo at the UN building amongst the angry protestors)

Oh myyyy…

 

[squeekness]

I'm ready!

The animation doesn't look good, especially for a revival. But I can't complain too much.

I liked that Bishop is included in the main line up. I hope they updated the classic intro with him getting his own shots.

Also, noticed how it doesn't say Marvel Studios but Marvel Animation.

I’ll definitely be watching for nostalgia but wolverines voice was awful

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

The trailer has over a million views. I love it.

Yeah Cal Dodd missed a step. But luckily Lenore Zann still got it.

Yeah I don't get it, he sounds totally different... somehow he sounded older back in the day

They can use Steve Blum if Dodd's not up to it, it's cool

 

[psylockolussus]

Iceman?

 

[BobJM]

My first thought was Nate Grey / X-Man, although I suppose it could also be Wade Wilson / Deadpool--though my gut tells me they would try to have Ryan Reynolds be the voice

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

Yeah, and it's sad because when I think of Wolverine I still hear Dodd's OG voice.

 

[squeekness]

I agree that Wolverine's voice was awful. Should I be scared for Gambit now ?

 

[Venom 1988]

I mean yea theres a chance he may not sound too good in the end, but I'm not gonna fully judge him off of just 1 line.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

But I'll be damned, Storm's line gave me CHILLS.

The new actor playing Cykes speaks with authority too.

 

[BoredGuy]

Well the replacement for Cyclops is pretty spot on, so I'm actually more worried about the original voices than the replacements at the moment

 

[BlackFox]

Looks like fun, the more X-Men related stuff the better as it can be rare these days.

 

[Sithborg]

I hate the animation. Clearly, Marvel Animation is a budget start up....

 

[Venom 1988]

Apparently Studio Mir did the animation for this show.

 

[The Caped Knight]

Cal Dodd is older now. I don't expect it too be the same, besides it's
was one voice audio clip. Hard to judge.

 

[Venom 1988]

3. Hellfire Gala - text by Eddie Brock, photos by Peter Parker

I know this will not get explored at all but I'm curious what the explanation would even be for this lol. I think both Peter and Eddie are out in the multiverse when this show is supposed to be taking place.
