[Jenniferbug]

I'm honestly giddy over this!

Are they getting back the original voices too?

YAY for the original cast returning!

The animation better not be the crappy one they used in the final season!

What I loved about the first few seasons was the animation looked like the comics come to life. You saw every line and crinkle and delineation in the characters.

I wonder if they will keep all their gimmicks from the original series, like Jean's fainting, Gambit talking in third person or Storm's overdramatic announcements of her powers.

I mean, I would prefer if they cut back on ALL of that.

And was the plot in "A Rogue's Tale", where Rogue stole Miss Marvel/Carol's powers and ability to fly, something the show made up?

Nope, mostly completely true.    Avengers Annual #10 from 1981.

Rogue, as a member of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, absorbed Carol's powers and put her in a coma for several years (years in OUR lifetime, anyway).  The Brotherhood then attacked the Avengers.

Here is an entire page by page of the tenth Annual.

Damn. These two went hard with the theme music.

Marvel Shuffles TV Calendar with New Dates for ‘Agatha,’ ‘Echo,’ X-Men ’97’

1x5: Captive Hearts

Watching the series for the first time to catch up with '97. It's not too bad so far, albeit with some dated dialogue and some obviously dated power levels (like Jubilee and especially the now Omega Level Storm).

Ororo in particular triggered my nitpicking because she just keeps throwing thunder around when we all know she could do so much more. The end of the episode was a perfect opportunity to upgrade her power set, but instead, it turned into some random lightsaber battle. What the heck?! lol

Annalee trying to frighten Logan with scorpions was also priceless. Giving the wrong scare to the wrong mutant.

Overall, not too bad of an episode. 7/10 for Storm's character development.

So, I've a question regarding exactly WHEN Jean was brought back after Xavier told everyone that Jean, was in fact, alive.

After that ending, and sorry, I'm blanking on which episode he said that, we have "The Savage Land, Part 1" where Logan has a throw away line that Jean's being probed and picked at on Muir Island, to the first episode of "The Dark Phoenix" where we get flashbacks of where Jean was found.

I've watched EVERY SINGLE episode, and I don't recall the episode where they found her. Or did that happen and they just threw it in there?

1x12: Days of Future Past (Part 2)

*Rogue calling Mystique "Mama"*
Me: "WHAT?!"

I guess they couldn't use Kurt in this cartoon maybe. Glad X-Men: Evolution rectified Mystique's spawn later though.

Also, one of the most powerful mutants, if not superheroes of all time, Jean Grey: *lifting the broken section of a building* "IT'S TOO HEAVY." WTF?! lmao No wonder the memes made fun of Jean.

Those goofs aside, I quite enjoyed the intrigue of the episode (even if I accidentally spoiled myself whom the assassin for this series is since I thought that this DoFP would be different from the Fox movie version; I never read the comic version). That episode ending punchline is also quite nice: "Because it's been magnetized."

3.5/5
