Television X-MEN '97 (Leaked Season 2 Trailer, post #826)

[GearSolidMetal]

I mean nostalgia was a big theme in a lot of the positive reviews, that's not exactly doing the same thing per se, but it's still a path I bet Disney execs think they can follow with others

Oh nostalgia absolutely was a big theme with the inital reviews, no doubt.
But at the same time many old-school fans were skeptical that we were getting a... as we call it... 'bait & switch.'
We come in expecting a modern continuation of a show we loved as kids.....and wow.. look at all the modern social issues being shoved in a show that supposedly takes place in 1997.

But that 'bait & switch' didn't happen.
There's only one aspect that make me potentially uncomfortable... Morph being gay, and having a crush on Wolverine.
But I'm pretty sure I know where Beau was going with this. Its about Beau's real-life conflict with developing romantic feelings with friends who are straight.... and how it sets him up for heartbreak.
I have absolutely no problem with that being in an X-Men show.

Otherwise, we received an awesome show with many condensed storylines of classic X-Men arcs.

Ready for some Warlock and En Saba Nur Action in Season 2.

I don't fancy super hero related shows or movies much anymore but I really was looking forward to 97'. Now ghey beau has essentially ruined that for me

 

[PBAC]

be good if they redesign Onslaught and get rid of that horrible second form

My guess is the Marvel verse will be merged with this plot and give Avengers a soft reset. 30 more years.

Finally resumed watching and a bit dark. Is a Season 2 in the works? The earlier episodes were a bit boring, then sorta got better. Nice seeing the brief cameos of Capt Am, Ironman, DD, Spidey & MJ.

I enjoyed the first season. My favourite scene was Rogue showing Captain America why weight classes matter. While pointing out his hypocrisy in not caring about Mutants.

I've always had a thing for cute girls with Southern accents.

I know everybody loves the 90's show, but I really wish they would update the animation to the level of What if... and Marvel Zombies.

Nah man, best part of the show was Gambit delivering his line smooth as fuck before blowing the sentinel to hell.

Yeah, that was cool AF.

Glad they gave us Jacked Magneto as well. Fassbender is in great shape, but he's lean. Comic Book Eric looks like he spends all the time he's not fighting/leading the X Men or trying to conquer the world getting his Swole on in the gym.

There's a reason Mags is Marvel Comics premier Silver Fox, and regularly bumps uglies with girls who, in chronological terms, are young enough to be his daughters.

The show is so damn good I honestly couldn't even care about that. I hate how the trailer basically spoils Wolverine though.
