  1. X-Men 97 Season 2: Marvel Animation Continues To Make Problems

    Summary: Disney stuffs about ten years of comics storytelling into a handful of episodes.

    You’d think that with Marvel’s new X-Men film on the horizon that they may stop with this, as they are ripping through comics storylines that could be whole sagas on their own in a matter of a few episodes. It is spoiling things to come for a more casual audience as well.

    Whilst there is a worry and we’ve expressed it before that Marvel’s X-Men film will try and tell a new X-Men storyline despite the decades of pedigree that exists, it is now becoming that they will adapt these storylines for Disney + with 97 instead.

    It’s a lot of the same issues from the first season Morph isn’t non-binary, and doesn’t need so much screen time, they also give a hell of a lot to screen time to Rogue whilst Gambit and Storm generally get a lot less development. There certainly is a sense almost to make Rogue the main character of the show, simply as she is the feature of a popular internet meme.

    Overall, much the same as the first season, and without the proper space to explore deeper X-Men themes or ideas as it rushes through storylines.

    2/5

    Pros.

    A few good X-Men moments

    Some good action

    Cons.

    The pacing

    The ignored characters

    The modern dayisms

  3. X-Men ’97 – Season 2 | TV Review

    It’s always easy to remember how much the X-Men rule whenever you’re watching X-Men ’97. Season 2 has come and gone, and I can’t wait for season 3. What a fantastic show.

    I know a lot of people are down on season two for whatever reason, and I of course agree that it didn’t have the same that moments in season one had. But, you should always expect the first season to be better than the second season of shows.

    I really liked the stuff of Apocalypse, and I’m interested to see where he pops up next now that he’s essentially trapped. He is and always will be the ultimate villain after humanity.

    Magneto’s death scene was wild. I wasn’t expecting it at all and just assumed that they would be rescued at the last possible second. My assumption will be that he will make his return in season three (similar to Gambit this season)

    One of the great things about this show is how they made Polaris a big deal. She feels like a main member of the X-Men now, and they worked hard to get that across. It wasn’t just a “Well, she’s here now.” It was well earned.

    My big complaint is going to be a big one for everyone in that it sure felt like Gambit’s return was rushed. It didn’t feel like they let you sit with it at all.

    I don’t think this season had the highs of Season 1, but it certainly didn’t have the lows for me. Yes, I’m looking at you Mojo. I never need to see you again.

    Bring on season three!

  8. Star Wars: Visions Presents – The Ninth Jedi – “A New Threat” | TV Review

    I am finally getting around to starting Star Wars: Visions Presents – The Ninth Jedi, and I couldn’t be more excited. The first episode “A New Threat” is a fun, mysterious start to the series.

    The Ninth Jedi was obviously one of these standouts in the first three seasons of Star Wars: Visions, so it was good news to see that the story would be the first getting a continuation into an actual season (Series?).

    We pick up where we left off with Lah Kara traveling with Margrave Juro, Gramps, and Homen. Ethan is mysteriously absent. More on that later.

    Juro is trying to recruit other former Jedi to his cause which leads our crew to the planet Makoma Ko to talk to Dunbai. There, Gennoh Ikagi begins attacking the city before all hell breaks loose.

    The animation for this battle was tremendous. The droids on the ground and in the ship were a little bit creepy, and the action all looked great. I think they nailed this first episode.

    The introduction of Gennoh as who will likely be the day-to-day antagonist of our heroes while General Nawaam is held back is a solid choice. He’s delightfully evil and seems to have excellent Force abilities.

    Though, I must say, the way he departs at the end of this first episode — by jumping backwards like four times — had me laughing. What a ridiculous animation choice.

    Then, we get the final reveal at the end. Ethan’s been sent on a mission to infiltrate Nawaam’s army, and he is almost discovered. However, that’s not the most important thing here. Nawaam’s lightsaber is revealed to be blue. He’s a Jedi? I can’t wait to see where this goes.
