X-Men ‘97 X-Men 97 Episodes 8, 9, and 10 - Tolerance is Extinction Parts 1-3 SPOILER Thread

[KaijuDude1992]

Got to love seeing all that build-up and worldbuilding finally payoff in this finale. Lawd they could actually create multiple spinoff shows now and I'd be down to watch every one of them.

Those cameos were everything but seeing Apocalypse show up at the end was a really nice surprise. I can't wait to see his character explored even more in this show and the different dynamic with the X-Men.

He was such an awesome/memorable villain in the OG series.

 

[psylockolussus]

Thank you kindly. I knew the Stryfe stuff (in broad strokes) but Rachel Summers has always been a bit of a gap in my X-Men knowledge. Jean & Cyclops are two of my favorite characters; I'll definitely read The Adventures of Cyclops and Phoenix--I'm assuming it's available on Marvel Unlimited app

We also got another Psylocke tease too. Maybe Captain Britain & some Excalibur shenanigans aren't too far behind...

Psylocke with 3 Alpha Flight members + Cipher, is such a random group.

I wonder how they made that decision.

 

[kguillou]

That fight was Bastion was so dope. That was some DBZ level s*** they were going for. Rogue went IN.

 

[Sithborg]

Oh, it's risky. But I also think a vital risk. X-Men is all about accepting everyone and coexistence. So being afraid to upset some people would IMO undermine that message. That message comes by making a risky choice not just with secondary or less popular ones, but main ones with large fanbases. They don't get more popular than Wolverine. I want this to see itself through completion. No half measures

Feige's people shot down Hickman's throuple idea. And based on some of what he wrote, he intended it to be a VERY even, not focused on one red head. So, hold onto your expectations a bit.

I am holding on to nothing

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

The finale wasn't my favorite eisode, but it was still well executed. Just a little bit more conventional superhero stuff compared to the rest of the series. I thought the best part was the scenes with Xavier and Magneto in the latter's mind. This series really did Magneto well.

Did they really? I knew about the Ms. Marvel stuff but not this. Interesting, is there a link on this, I'd be curious to read more.

 

[JP]

I hope squeekness is happy.


I'm SO curious about where Storm, Logan, and Morph are. Or why Jubilee, Sunspot and Cable are AWOL.

 

[Bren]

I wonder if professor X and Magneto tries to teach En Sabah Nur their respective 'dream' and he's like, "stuff you both, it's gonna be survival of the fittest, broskis!"

 

[Venom 1988]

Or why Jubilee, Sunspot and Cable are AWOL.

I'm assuming they are in hiding due to rising hate and don't want to be part of whatever is left of the X-Men(i.e. just Forge I guess lol) I have a feeling while the main team are dealing with time travel shenangians, Forge might try to form a new team of X-Men in the present. I guessing it would include anyone on his chart that's not crossed off. So Colossus, Shadowcat, Iceman, Havok, Emma Frost, Dust, Magik, and Exodus.

 

[squeekness]

I just saw the mid credits scene with Apocalypse looks like there’s some hope for Gambit fans to hold onto next season.

I'm hoping!!!!!

 

[ArmsHeldOut]

I'm hoping!!!!!

Your hope will definitely be rewarded. TV shows don't get any more fan-servicey than this one!

 

[squeekness]

I hope squeekness is happy.

Yes I am -- for the moment. If they kill him off a second time as Death I won't be.

 

[psylockolussus]

I hope the other 3 horsemen, if there will be 4, won't be just some random characters.

Maybe they could resurrect Banshee as well. He was a horseman of Apocalypse too.

 

[BoredGuy]

I wouldn't mind if it was:
Gambit as Death
Sunfire as Famine (with his AoA look)
Polaris as Pestilence
Wolverine as War (which can give him his adamantium back, and avoid the dogface Wolvie)
Then when they inevitably snap out of it, set up the (edit: Final, not First) Horsemen from Uncanny X-Force, who I still think were the coolest group

 

[psylockolussus]

I would like Sunfire and Polaris as horseman and horsewoman respectively, for screentime. But I would like see them in another story as well.

Psylocke was a horsewoman too in the comics. So when it comes to the "X-Men" they have plenty of choices aside from Gambit/Archangel.

I'd be happy with all of this.

 

[The Caped Knight]

My boy finally found happiness.

 

[kguillou]

So question, Do the Xmen

Not know who Apocalypse is? They seemed confused when they met young En Saba Nur (or however you spell it). They should be cery familiar with him by now, no?

I didn't take it that they didn't know who he was. I read the confusion as "oh crap this a young Apocalypse".

Colossus, Dust, Archangel, Magik, Iceman, Havok, Exodus, Shadowcat and Emma Frost reference.

Okay reposting that picture. When i first watched the finale, I immediately closed it when the credits rolled, then I saw a bonus scene set in the present day period when I opened YouTube. I hope Forge will recruit several mutants from that wall to find the X-Men - anyone from Iceman, Angel, Colossus, Kitty, Emma and Havok will be great. Dust and Exodus being included in that group is quite random.

X-Men '97 Season 1 Finale Confirms a Long Lost Chris Claremont Idea - Comic Book Movies and Superhero Movie News - SuperHeroHype

The Season 1 finale of X-Men '97 has confirmed one idea that legendary writer Chris Claremont never had the chance to confirm in the comics.

www.superherohype.com

Also I missed the part where, Bishop called Forge as Daniel. Its an original idea from Chris Claremont.

 

[The Caped Knight]

Season 2 Avengers vs. X-Men or Civil War. We’re definitely going to be exploring something along those lines.

 

[psylockolussus]

Please no Avengers story arc in this show.

The finale already had too much non mutant cameos. Like they could have given us a cameo of Colossus, Iceman, Angel, Kitty but no, we got those other superheroes....

Though I was really happy when Psylocke showed up.

The more they censor that kind of thing, the more I'll claim and be vocal about the X-Men being as queer as possible.

They want us silent and the conservatives happy.

So give me Cyclops topping Logan now!
