Posted February 15 Not gonna lie, I had a huge grin on my face and tears in my eyes when the music hit. Cyclops' closing line was perfect. Looks like Morph is sporting his AoA look. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 15 (edited) Yeah, the nostalgia got me but the animation looks rough. I still will watch it though, i was watching through the original cartoon and Spider-man (as the two shows cross over with each other a few times) around a year ago on Disney+ and never finished it all, I'll probably resub and watch the rest of it before this new series drops next month.

I'd love to see them continue 90s Spider-Man next. I loved that more than X-Men. Great show. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope at the very least, that that version of Spider-man makes an appearance in this new series at some point. Edited February 15 by Helmsly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I loved that it was eventually one massive story that continued on, rather than single episodes. The whole Neogenic Nightmare saga was fantastic. X-Men also followed this format near the eend of its run and Gargoyles was also famous for it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 20 (edited) Just watched the first two episodes of X-Men 97. Awesome stuff. Feels just like the original cartoon series. You watched them yet, @Happenstanceand @Helmsly? Edited March 20 by Hero-of-Time 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 24 Started watching Death and Other Details, halfway through at the moment. It's a bit like Only Murders in The Building, this time on a boat. With the link between the 2 main characters it'll be interesting to see if they could carry this onto later seasons. But you're guaranteed to see some tits at least once an episode, which is always a plus. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 26 I watched X-Men. Bit disappointed that there's only 2 episodes, for some reason I thought they'd released a whole season at once.It's ok, but since I never really watched the original and so don't have the nostalgia for it, it didn't seem amazing. Hopefully once it gets going it'll improve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 27 Another cracking episode of X-Men 97. Spoiler I was always a fan of Maddie and so it was great to see her in this. I'm very impressed they managed to condense the Inferno storyline into a single episode. Gotta imagine Cable is going to come into this before it's over. I do wonder if there will be an episode that shows him growing up and dealing with the virus. Shame that my D+ runs out on Sunday. This will be the last episode I get to watch until I decide to resubscribe, which will probably be when there are a lot of new shows/movies built up for me to watch.

The latter half of the season does ramp up the mystery at the detriment to the nipple count, but on the whole a recommended watch 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 10 X-Men 97 episode 5 has absolutley no right being as good as it is. Best episode of anything I've seen in god knows how long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted Wednesday at 10:57 AM Been catching up with X-Men 97 and I'm mostly enjoying it. The animation and voice acting are still a bit iffy to me but the stories have been top notch. Only issue there I really have is due to how closely they are adapting the comics I already know all of the twists 😆 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted Wednesday at 12:13 PM I've seen up to Episode 5, and i'm still finding it a bit meh. I can't work out if you need to have seen the 90s originals or not. A lot of the time they reference something that happened, and I can't work out if it's just a very heavy-handed nod to the original, or if i'm supposed to have seen it and have missed a lot of back story. I agree the animation is a bit...static, but i'm assuming that is a choice as a homage to the original maybe? The quality of the show is even more stark given that i watched Season 2 of Invincible at the same time, and that is orders of magnitudes better in every way. Better animation, better fight scenes, better villains, better dialogue, better plot; just a far better show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted Wednesday at 12:24 PM I gave up on Invincible after the start of season 2. I can't stand the voice acting and it was ruining the show for me so I just dropped it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think Cecil's voice matches the character at all and then Steven Yeun as Invincible sounds emotionless and bored for the majority of his lines until he has to yell something.
