I can't believe they got rid of the mohawk so soon, but her magically Sailor Storm growing out her hair & then manifesting her iconic tiara shows that she's claiming her supernatural heritage. They even showed Forge's shamanic power (I mean I thought they'd just keep it simple & keep him as the science guy). Literally a shamanic journey for both (& with Xavier as well), with Forge letting go of logical Western "science" to rely on the age-old wisdom of his mother & use faith to help his friend, Ororo accepting her past (her original costume), defeating her demons ("What are demons but reflections of our fears & shame") to let her move towards the future. Screamed & hollered when Ororo got rehabilitated. She was NEVER depicted as THIS Goddess & THAT badass punk b*tch with the strongest will amongst all the mutants in any type of media apart from the source material (deplorably NEVER in the films, nor to this extent in the old cartoon). I swear most of the writers in LA nowadays have GONE THROUGH SHAMANIC HEALING SESSIONS & this shows in all of the best writing LOL.

“What are demons but reflections of our fears and shame. Things we bury within us, hide from loved ones even as they poison our hearts… until we finally heal our adversary by embracing it” This writing is so GOOD! 😭🙏🏽 This episode was great! I really liked LifeDeath Part 1, but I definitely liked having more time to tell the story this time around with this episode. The emotional journey Strom went on in this 2-Part Arc was done incredibly well, in my opinion! Seeing her get her powers back was a LEGENDARY moment, and I'm so excited for her to rejoin the X-Men! I also really liked seeing/having Forge in this mini-arc, so I do hope we get to see more of him in the future. The Adversary was also really cool and creepy! I really liked the small horror elements they brought into this episode! Also, EVERYTHING WITH CHARLES WAS INSANE! I'm so happy to have him back in this world! I missed this old teacher. Overall, this episode was another banger, and I think it's safe to say at this point that X-Men 97 is my favorite thing Marvel has done on Disney Plus so far! In fact, it's just one of my favorite things they've ever done in general ever since the beginning of the MCU! It's just an incredible show! 9/10 for the episode this week!

Season two William season two

This was one hell of an episode where the meaning of Lifedeath plays out so beautifully where you sacrifice one part of your life to accept something which is a theme for Xavier and Ororo. Also the rebirth, transformation with Storm literally is cinematic giving of that Man of Steel vibe with her taking flight. Also the cameos from Mar-vell during the Imperial raid was so awesome. If you watch the opening montage of scenes during the title credits we see events from X-Men: TAS; One Man's Measure, The trial of Jean Grey, The Phoenix Force, Beyond Good and Evil Lazrus Rising playing out as a way of continuing those stories. Xavier's monologue in the Astral plane as he sees Gambit being dead due to the events of Genosha attack was the last straw and he plans to take action.

I haven't really heard or read anyone picking up on Charles Xavier's monologue toward the end of the classroom scene being an analog of a Carl Sagan lecture, @26:30. When he said, "says who, who made up these silly rules," is where I realized they crafted Professor X's monologue using Carl Sagan's words. Absolute brilliant writing his character through the voice of Carl Sagan in the context of the scene. Because much like Carl Sagan, Professor X's lecture about the Shi'ar Empire is a metaphor mirroring American Imperialism and what we've done in the world as a super power.

I watched all the episode of the Xmen when I was I kid. but my point is that some writers and directors made things complicated and don't follow the original comic book script which already infront of their noses. however in the movies, they make it MORE complicated where things don't aligned better. They mixed superstar actors and political views which kinda ruin the whole story with lack of characters, ruined origins, etc.

The silence at the end of the episode says so much 😂

This camera quality is super fire(what y’all use..?..?) Great reaction💯‼️ Loving the X men content

I will say this about the episode, I'm glad Sinister is the one revealed to be behind the attack because it should remind us of a few points: it's fine to speculate based on clues and correlation to events in the comics, but those stories have already been told, so sometimes it makes sense to provide the nods and easter eggs to the characters involved in the original telling, but it makes more sense (for them) to sometimes streamline things. It is neater from a 10 episode season standpoint to make Mr. Sinister the overarching villain than to introduce Bastion or Cassandra Nova right now and do them full justice. We don't need to cram all the big bads into this season when we can save them as big threats down the line (or even reveal they did have a hand in the attack in some way, but not up front and center like C.Nova did in the comics).

This Episode was Fantastic!!! Seeing these two Love Stories happening at the same time was so well done! It was So Great to see Charles again! Storm getting Her Powers back was Such an Epic Scene! Especially with The Music! And Sinister being involved with or behind The Genosha Massacre is very Interesting and I'm So Excited to see What Happens Next! This Show keeps delivering Phenomenal Episodes and It's One of The Best Things Marvel Has Ever Done!!! I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT EPISODE!!!!!!

I'm so glad I'm not the only one that reached like this during the intro.

9:56 you know I have to tell you honestly I like the fact that you don’t see a storyline beginning in one episode continuing in the next episode and you’re supposed to pretend that time has passed cause sometimes that’s hard to relay a series or an animation unless they tell you what it is, but the fact that life death started two episodes ago and continuing now gives you the impression oh time has passed so therefore you can partially accept that while time has passed and storm has feelings,s feelings for forge

“No, they were dancing, drinking wine, making love… my children of the atom destroyed!” Sent chills down my spine and brought tears to my eyes. It reminded me of the Pulse nightclub shooting 😭

I just watched the episode, was happy to see they added night crawler into the opening, but was very sad to see gambit and magneto gone

U guys are my favorites for reactions!! Especially for X-MEN ‘97!! 🙌🏽

Gladiator was pretty cool with how fast he stepped in to protect Lilandra,and seeing Vulcan was awesome. But the Class in session moment with Xavier was pretty awesome.

The storm piano theme track gives me chills. They use it perfectly every time.

X-MEN ‘97 is by far the best show I’ve seen in a long time, it’s near perfection ❤️‍🔥

Storm looks like a goddess I love her costume!!

Another solid episode didn’t have much comic accuracy this episode in terms of the Lifedeath comic. But Charles is Back. They Removed Gambit from the intro, added Nightcrawler, kept Cable and the apocalypse scene, added Nimrod and Master Mold and the X-Men fighting the Shi-ar. I did wonder how they fit into this episode, Forge in this scenario must be a replacement for Shani and Storm saving Forge is her delivering Shani’s baby.

I can't remember the last time I watched a show without skipping intro. Keep the fresh intros coming.

Helps the badas music but yea i usually skip it

So this episode just opened a bunch of bombshells I didn’t know could be opened. Storm getting her powers and a new suit, Xavier returning to Earth, Sinister being responsible for the death of Magneto and Gambit, and we are still possibly getting Captain America soon. How does this show do it?

​@@zeldagameryt4018 it's unclear if the Avengers itself was a team in the Universe, but we did get appearances from non-Mutant characters in the OG series, and Cap was one of those appearances where he teamed up with Wolverine during the War. Others include Carol Danvers and Spider-Man.

@@zeldagameryt4018 correct, however the Secret Wars stuff was the comics and I believe some of the other animated stuff. I wasn't saying anything about them not working with other characters or whatever, I was simply responding to your question of if the Avengers existed in the Universe of X-Men: the Animated Series/X-Men '97/Spider-Man: the Animated Series and mentioned that it's not clear if the Avengers itself exists in the Universe, but that many characters who have been Avengers have shown up in the Universe. Not really sure why it comes across like you thought I was saying something different and didn't know what went on in the Universe and such.

Gambit will return!! But as Apocalypse's horseman Death. I'm guessing Archangel and Cable will join up to help against the upcoming fight. It will probably be set up in the season finale? Also we saw Dazzler last episode, Nightcrawler in the intro, and Storm gets her old costume. All we need now is Colossus( Not Morph) to show up and we got the old team from the Konami X-Men arcade. Finally does anybody else want Psylocke to join the team?

I love that Coy's kitty also has orange hair.

This episode had mad Easter eggs by the way, from forge and his shaman abilities, Vulcan. This show is great again thanks for the reaction guys feel better boy 😅

19:13 The Shi'ar empire is an allegorical representation of real world imperialism and colonialism.

The fact that they finally introduced Vulcan has me happy as hell!! Like finally the Ultimate Summers brother

I was bummed when I didn't spot Magneto's and Gambit's title cards in the intro. The space scenes in this episode, especially at the start, gave me major Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes vibes. When Gladiator punched Deathbird, it felt like she'd had it coming for ages. Storm's comics accurate suit was used in the Pryde of the Xmen and Spiderman and his amazing friends episodes. And Storm's hair restoration powers... quite the upgrade! Absolutely loved it! 😊

probably for story, and not to self spoil whats coming. As you can see they added a bunch of other mutants in the intro. even nimrod. Seems they are playing the intro to the story that coming, and introducing characters this way. I still think gambit and Mags are alive... mags body was not seen, but gambit body is seen after taking his own made blast to the face.

I can't believe they got rid of the mohawk so soon, but her magically Sailor Storm growing out her hair & then manifesting her iconic tiara shows that she's claiming her supernatural heritage. They even showed Forge's shamanic power (I mean I thought they'd just keep it simple & keep him as the science guy). Literally a shamanic journey for both (& with Xavier as well), with Forge letting go of logical Western "science" to rely on the age-old wisdom of his mother & use faith to help his friend, Ororo accepting her past (her original 70s outfit), defeating her demons ("What are demons but reflections of our fears & shame") to let her move towards the future. Screamed & hollered when Ororo got rehabilitated. She was NEVER depicted as THIS Goddess & THAT badass punk b*tch with the strongest will amongst all the mutants in any type of media apart from the source material (deplorably NEVER in the films, nor to this extent in the old cartoon). I swear most of the writers in LA nowadays have GONE THROUGH SHAMANIC HEALING SESSIONS & this shows in all of the best writing LOL.

Another great episode! Storm’s new suit looks amazing and once again the animation is great. Also seeing the Professor is great, I was wondering if we would see him before the season ended.

No gambit and magneto in the intro hurt bro! Womp womp

Actually we did see her in that suit in the third season in a flashback. This Storm scene was incredible!!!❤❤❤❤⚡⚡⚡⚡

"Milky Way Ghetto" lmaoo I will never get over that line

Nightcrawler was my favorite X-Man ever since the Sega game, and I was so sad he was only ever in one episode of the series - one that came after I stopped watching it regularly, though I made sure to tune in for that one. While I still dislike the tragedy of the previous episode, seeing Nightcrawler on the team and in the opening credits where I feel he always belonged definitely warmed my heart.

You know it’s a strange parallel, but when it comes to Debbie from invincible and professor Xavier, at least Xavier accepts that he’s a pet😂

Love to see how Storm’s lighting changed color too❤

Always admired the design of Gladiator's outfit.

Anyone else melt at how Coy’s kitty was gazing up at him 🥹🥰
