Black Panther foreshadowing? Tell me you saw the mountain when Storm and Forge hit the cliff.

You forgot to point out a small but noticeable detail. When Forge told Storm to get inside the machine she looked a bit panicked and nervous. Then right before she stepped in she gave out a huge breath before inhaling, when she stepped inside she began to nearly hyperventilate before the scene cut. It briefly yet subtly showed us her claustrophobia.

You completely forgot to mention how we see a different Jean in the opening. Until last week we saw Jean with her hair down. When the real Jean came, not only did she put her hair into a ponytail, but the Jean the intro now has her hair in a ponytail.... I was actually expecting this to happen in the intro and it totally did.

Honestly noone would care about her if she wasnt randomly put into the 90s cartoon. Her and Gambit were never as "big" of characters until then. While other much more important characters got ignored because they weren't in the cartoon! (Nightcrawler, Colossus, Emma Frost, Kitty Pryde, etc)

This was another great episode! I loved seeing the beginning of the "LifeDeath" story for Strom, and I can't wait for part 2 of this mini-arc! I can already tell this emotional character exploration of Storm is going to be one of my favorite mini arcs in the entire X-Men animated series franchise by the time part 2 completes the story. The "Motendo" stuff was also super fun and creative! Revisiting some of the greatest highlights from this iteration of the X-Men in 16-Bit from like an old X-Men arcade game spotlighting their greatest moments was super cool and fun! I also loved having a Jubilee episode because she's one of my personal favorite members of the X-Men! Having it be her birthday was also a really nice way to explore how far she's come since episode 1 of the original series! I'm also really starting to warm up to Roberto. It's been nice to see the world of the X-Men through his eyes as a newcomer to this family. 👀🎆 Overall, X-Men 97 continues to be my favorite thing Marvel has made on Disney Plus! 8/10 episode this week! 🙌🏽🌟✨️

This episode was wild. From the homages to the Genesis, SNES and the OG Arcade X-men games, the crazy 16-bit video game-inspired soundtrack, and one of the most deranged versions of Mojo ever. Plus so many easter eggs from the intro to the show itself. So many easter eggs, I loved it. The only thing missing was "Welcome to Die!" from Magneto. On top of that we got the start of Lifedeath, which includes the Adversary and leads into the somewhat forgotten "Fall of the Mutants" storyline where everyone would believe the X-men were dead. I've also heard Marvel has already green-lit a third season. X-Men 97 continues to be one of the best things Marvel has produced in years.

Dazzler in Dark Phoenix not in X-men Apocalypse

Man, all I know is that this season has had absolutely BANGING art, especially in all the reality-manipulation scenes. The haunted mansion, Jean/Madelyne meeting of the minds, this Adversary stuff…there’s been a handful of “holy shit” moments.

That was crazy to get an Xmen the last stand quote in there with " you of all people knows how fast the weather can change.

Nandos pitch for a Mojo centric Deadpool 3 was so damn good. Definitely worth a watch

You missed something I noticed that was delightful! Motendo Magneto follows the same pattern in this as he does in the Genesis game. He flies and throws junk at you, and he’s invincible when he’s flying. As soon as he lands, he’s vulnerable for a moment as his electro-shield comes down. This the pattern referenced by Jubilee, and the junk he throws around looks the same too!

It’s not Jean (on the picture) but it’s the scarlet witch.

Also X men did sort of have secondary segment or multiple storyline. This concept was ventured in the savage land saga as episodes that season featured scenes of xavier and magneto brought the savage land and find themselves on the run from Mr. sinister's mutates.

This episode just gave you complete nostalgia and i love it.

A couple of Easter eggs you don't mention: - Thunderbird shows up on the Genosha scene. - The hand that grabs Jubilee and Sunspot looks a lot like final-boss Apocalypse's hand in X-Men vs Street Fighter - The Motendo is more like a mix between a Genesis and a SNES (look at the controller ports) - The extra life "X" simbol reminded me on the extra HP you get from Wasp and Quicksilver on Data East's Captain America and the Avengers.

I am gonna admit the 2nd story in the show was Amazing ❤😊

I'm 12 mins in, but I think the Dazzler call back is because of her place in the arcade game. She was a character that most of us kids hadn't ever seen before but she always seemed like a stand in for Jubilee who we all knew. It was something that many of us would talk about as kids, "OH the Jubilee one!" Since she mostly shot energy projectiles out during the game. It was a great callback.

Did I miss a joke about Forge's Daisy Dukes? Are we just skipping low hanging fruit now?

We didn't even acknowledge the throw away line about "Magneto was right" Wow that's really deep and meta. The implications are vast

Something I've noticed is that Black Panther exists in this universe and Forge is the second man to confess love to Storm. I'm just wondering if we'll ever see T'Challa in this series since the original showrunner promised cameos.

Nah I'm all in for tacky naff MODOK. Brilliant stuff.

Great breakdown! I completely missed OG Jubilee voicing the older version, nice catch! I guess this also confirms that 5 years have passed in show continuity as Jubilee mentions being 13 in the first season. I gotta say though, this episode didn't really work for me being split in two, especially in a 10 episode season. There wasn't anything bad, in fact the visuals and easter eggs were great but neither story got the time they needed. Jubilee living in the past has never been a substantial aspect of her character to this point in the show so that whole lesson didn't seem necessary and Sunspot wasn't really integral to that nor did he do or say much to advance his character, they didn't earn the kiss at the end at all so that fell pretty flat. This also meant the entire Storm/Forge relationship gets about 5 minutes of screen time and they just had to fly through what was an iconic arc in the comics. With Inferno last week being crazy rushed, the wasted Jubilee arc & the meat of Lifedeath's arc getting less than 10 minutes there are definitely pacing issues with this show. It's still awesome but it's not perfect.

10:33 You forgot to mention the appearance of John Proudstar, a.k.a. Thunderbird, at that moment. We briefly see him pushing a wheelbarrow shortly on that wide shot of Jubilee and Roberto on the bridge.

If no one else mentioned it, at 19:03 you can see the owl watching them at dinner then it’s gone the next scene. Was pointed out by another KZreadr and had to go back. Missed it first time

5:53 it is gambit who is now in the place of magneto from that comic

If Storm's dark side would manifest, it would make more sense to manifest as the Shadow King, not as the Adversary.

I keep forgetting this show takes place in the 90s even when 97 is part of the title 😂. I like seeing all the old hardware on Forge's shelf like the vcr or the stereo boxes. Love the little Japanese animation references too. Like both Jubilees combining their attacks like something Naruto and Boruto would do with the rasengan. Even the part when Mojo loses and it's like a villian losing to a kamehameha.

Storm and Forge's love story is definitely in better taste than her with Arkon in the previous series.

8:50 did Ryan say Geonosian Mutants? 😂

MISSED EASTER EGG when Forge says “I’m not building you a faster horse” it’s a nod to Henry Ford from when he built the model T. He said if he asked his customers what they were looking for in a car they would’ve told him they wanted a faster horse. It’s also part of the reason how the Mustang got its name.

¥o this recap makes me want to read the comics all over again! that was some amazing writing from the Chris Claremont days

Ryan's hair is on point this episode

I am glad we got to see old jubilee literally in the form of the voice actor playing an older jubilee.
