I always found the lack of Nightcrawler in the original series to be a strange choice. Iceman too.
Yes, hopefully it can extend beyond that. With such a good start a bunch of possibilities should be on the table.Anyway, DeMayo said he wanted to make a statement that this show is an X-Men show, not a Wolverine show. I hope S02 makes the statement that the X-Men is not just the 90s cartoon roster.
I''d like them to start showing students in mansion clips. With all the cameoing via Morph we know the creators are up for getting that fan service out there.On a related note, have there ever been any other students at the mansion or is it just the core X-Men team? I can't remember anyone else being there in the original series.
It's time folks. It's Beak's time!
Sorry guys, but I pray to En Sabah Nur that they don't ruin this show by adding Katherine Pryde to the cast.
We don't need her.

I'm expecting Young justice type between season time jumps....X men 2000 as a season 2 or 3 title, they can fully shed the 90s stuff and go full modern day stuff with costumes and stories
Speaking of En Sabah Nur... I'm not sure I want to see him just yet.
One of the cool things about S01 is seeing them taking the story to places we haven't seen before in the cartoon (Genosha genocide, Bastion, Madelyne Pryor, etc). Apocalypse showed up a few times in the original, and the friend turned foe arc was done when Warren became Death.
While Age of Apocalypse would be a brand new path to take, I'd like to wait quite sometime before seeing alternative versions of these characters. Let me properly enjoy the original first.
I enjoyed him as I enjoy all quirky characters, but I can't see special effects being able to pull him off live action.It's time folks. It's Beak's time!
Good questions, but when it comes to time travels I just pretend everything makes sense.That's fair; and with Xavier presumed dead for most of S1 anyway, it may be tough to adapt AoA in a way that's fresh. Plus we already had "One Man's Worth" in the original series... although, I supposed AoA could simply be an extension from that.
Regarding dystopian (or utopian futures, as Cable referred to it), I have some questions about the Episode 8 reveal.
- So did Cable's original timeline from the OG series get wiped out as a result of "Beyond Good and Evil"?
- If I'm understanding Cable's narration correctly, the evolutionary war lasted 300 years before Prime Sentinels won & started putting mutants to work... How are Polaris & Rachel Summers alive/around 300+ years into the future? (Yes, they were fun cameos, but make me question the timeline)
- Any guesses on where Bishop is?
Yep, need all the early X-material to be successful so they can play the long game and get to the larger school stage. We’d get real variety at that point.Definitely want to see the young mutants from Morrison’s run; Riot at Xavier’s would be cool to see.
Agreed. I love how they are tackling new aspects of X-mythology so well and it’s fine to have some big characters in reserve to fully make their appearances in later seasons. As you say AoA will work better once we have had a great run with the originals.Speaking of En Sabah Nur... I'm not sure I want to see him just yet.

I would love that, lol.Who said anything about live-action? I'm talking about animation. He and Tempest can have a bunch of fly-winged bird babies!
