Nice.

Another bit that supports Bastion being the big baddie is that in the comics the story arc that had him launching a huge operation against mutants was titled Operation Zero Tolerance, and the three parter that fineshes the season of X-Men 97 are titled "Tolerance is Extinction", Plus that story arc in the comics ran in 1997!

I remember in X-Men TAS that Mystique told Rogue that assassinating Kelly was Apocalypse's idea, and as he was her boss, she got the order to do it. The idea was to ensure a war between humanity and mutants.

This is what I’m talking about. Bastion and Apocalypse are both working for ensuring the same catalyst: boiling point tensions between humans and mutants. But they are working independently from each other and for opposite ultimate goals. Bastion feels its the perfect set up to a sentinel dominated world where mutants are enslaved or exterminated, and Apocalypse views it as the perfect conditions for the Age of Apocalypse. Xavier’s dream of human/ mutant coexistence may seem naive at times (perhaps even moreso in 2024 than in 1963) but the two alternatives are indeed very bleak in opposite extremes from each other.

All hail the mighty "Comics Explained" for nailing it! It WAS Bastion all along! Respect my Brother.

I believe she chose gambit for two reasons: - she didn’t like him dealing with her “daughter “ Rogue - His background was still sort of mysterious even to the X-men so they wasn’t sure if they fully trusted him

I don't mean to out nerd you or anything, but Mystic says something to Rogue in the days of Future past episode along the lines of Apocalypse will punish her for not killing Senetor Kelly and humans and mutants not getting what they deserve so Apocalypse was behind the assassination attempt.

This is almost exactly what I've been saying to friends ever since I saw the new intro scenes in episode 6, where there's a Nimrod standing inside Master Mold and we also see the scenes of Nimrod getting destroyed from Ones Man's Worth. It has to be Bastion. Also like you said Task was shot from behind by what appears to be a weak standard sentinel blast, while Mr Sinister appears in front of him. It's a misdirect. They'll work Bastion into the timeline. However it shakes out, it's fun to discuss and speculate! Thanks for the vid!

You called it

Dude, you were right, it was Bastien, I just saw episode 7

I've watch a lot of your videos and this is my first time actually seeing you in person. Now that I can see your enthusiasm it really makes it a better video overall

Mahoraga is Nimrod without the sauce? LMAOOOOO

I've been pleasantly surprised by the show. Excellent scenery in the back.

Insane setup Rob! Love Alex Ross pieces

Great video. I like it, make more videos like that please :)

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 great explanation! Agree with some of the comments as well. Def remember TAS clearly.

We DO know why Mystique tried to kill Senator Kelly- she tells Rogue it was Apocalypse who ordered it, to provoke a war between mutants and humans. Also, I think you're forgetting about the other time-travel episode where Apocalypse tricks the Friends of Humanity into unleashing an anti-mutant plague. (and lastly, anger is not the opposite of fear- especially in this case, the anger stems from fear)

Hulk transformed into Nimrod temporarily. "Didn't think we'd notice, but I did."

The reason i always liked Nimrod is because he reminded me of T2 and i loved T2, he was like the T-1000 of sentinels : D

Actually, it was explained in Part-2 that Mystique was on orders from Apocalypse to assassinate Kelly, "to give the human race the future it deserves'.

Love this video format

⁠I like how when Rob started talking about Nimrod, he swapped out the Hulk portrait for a Nimrod portait

Well you were right

I love one man's worth. One of my favorite episodes

Dope Breakdown.

Of course Nimrod was Mystique's fault. It always Mystique's fault.

Alex Ross is such a great artist.

Can you do a series about the most obscure Marvel heroes and villains ever? Side characters who made an appearance in only one page, in one comic, back in the 1960s, as an example. It would be a very, very fascinating deep dive into the encyclopedia of nearly forgotten characters in the Marvel universe! Cheers!

Epic posters/ pictures behind you Rob

You're just the best. Thank you!

Good shit as always, Rob. Marvel has us in the war room using our brains and anticipating things again!

I gotta say, Rob, I was thinking the same thing when I saw Bastion's face covered in the photo. That's the benefit of the show having another 30 years of X-Men comics to borrow from.

Well after the newest episode I can say he was right

In the TAS, Mystique was working for Apocalypse in Season 1. That includes the Senator's abduction. IIRC, she said that the attempt to help the Senator with all the rest of his living was Apocalypse's idea. So, either it was actually Apocalypse or it was your theory of it being Bastion.

Bastion is in the Adler photo. He's sitting on the other side of Forge.

The only reason Sinister is working for Bastion is the prize he was promised has to be a captured Cable. Mr. Sinister got his powers from Apocalypse due to their shared obsession with mutant evolution. They both want to take over the world, but Sinister refuses to live in Apocalypse’s shadow. However he’s not strong enough to defeat his master, but smart enough to create a living weapon, Cable to do the job. I’m sure Sinister thinks he can easily use and dispatch Bastion; Bastion likewise believes his true masterpiece, probably an upgraded version of himself with powers like the live action DOFP Sentinels, will make short work of both Sinister and his puppet Cable.

Great video I think your spot on...I would like to see mother box eventually if not already!

THIS MAN DOES NOT MISS‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

Bastion is in a picture with Forge assumingly when he was working for the government. There's also a photo of X-Force but all anyone talks about is the picture of Forge in his swimming trunks. Also, in episode 5, right before the real chaos begins, you can see someone on the balcony with grey/silver hair and hints of magenta on his clothing walking away. Great direction for an animated series 🎉

You were right😂.. I can just imagine you geeking out when you found out in the recent episode .

Wow! What episode is the footage starting at 2:43 from? Looks like Malcolm and Randall but don't remember seeing that.

Damn those posters are sick!

No they didn’t, bastion is mastermold and nimrod combined, that’s why rogue saw nimrod when she tried to absorb gyrichs memories, in this version obviously sinister had something to with it

What up Rob. My guy man I am a comics explained og. Love your content bro. No one breaks down like u

Bastion being the big bad is no surprise. Bastion has been in every episode of X-Men97. He's even in the picture of Dr Adler @6:38 If you go back and watch the shows you will see him even before his big reveal. Also Bastion is the natural story arc for sentinels, its clear that what this season was focused on from the start. I do not believe Cable or Bishop made him, I think just like in the last case, Nimrod came from the future and merged with an in orbit Master Mold. Bastion points out there is a Satellite in orbit that "they" repaired that the X-Men use to communicate with the Shiar, why would he even know this? Even Sinister did not know about. Clearly Bastion has been spending considerable time in space.

This is exactly why I need rob to talk abt these things.

Happy Sunday everyone.

It was Bastion. Rob is the GOAT!

Thats a sick hat Rob. Where did u get it?

2 foes sent chills down my spine. The energy vampire, and nimrod.

The sentinels in DOFP were the closest thing to Nimrod in a live action film, but they didn't reconstruct after they blew up.

Those pictures in the back wall are insanely awsome

Pictures changing in the background is dope
