i think my x-men podcast @themutantages.bsky.social did some really good recaps of the entirety of x-men '97. we loved some episodes and we also actually disliked some episodes and some decisions made. which i haven't seen that many x-men podcasts doing tbqh. check it: soundcloud.com/themutantage...

Thinking about what @rollerryan.bsky.social said on the @themutantages.bsky.social ep on the season finale, that the show had a lot of queer themes but no actual explicit queerness, and feeling like Morph is a TON of missed opportunities for this in favor of more MCU-esque Action Bullshit. Annoying.

*NEW EPISODE*

Maddy & Ryan watch the end to season 1 of #XMen97, with a confusing death scene for Bastion and a lot of leftover questions. The best part is its ending, which sets up a promising start for season 2.

*NEW EPISODE*

Maddy & Ryan analyze "Tolerance Is Extinction Part 2," in which Magneto has some epic monologues, but did something to the Earth and now it's ending in 12 hours (??).

*NEW EP*
Bastion's Prime Sentinels are a metaphor for radicalization, but how does the process work? Are people opting in to the procedure, and why didn't Trask know he was one?

In our recent ep, we talked about "Operation Zero Tolerance" which inspired this season's storyline of X-Men '97. It's worth reading for background and is comprised of Generation X #27, X-Force #67–69, X-Men #65–70, Wolverine #115–118, Cable #45–47, and X-Man #30.

On our ep "Remember It", the end featured a sad piano version of our theme and we have now made this track available to all of you.

Fun fact: The Italian opera was sung by none other than
Ryan!

Deathbird was fantastic on X-Men '97, but what is her origin in the comics? You would be surprised that she started off as a villain for Ms. Marvel!

x-men 97 surprises me every week but i sure didn't expect "porshe paid for product placement in a scene where cyclops drives a porshe and cable is impressed that his long-lost dad drives a porshe" what the fuck

Ryan & Maddy were expecting "Lifedeath (Part 2)" to be that story, but instead it's about Lilandra and Xavier. The Storm/Forge story is wonderful, but there's not enough of it.

We have the very same concerns, especially with all of these Cassandra Nova plotlines happening in X-Men '97 and no sign of her.

The Deadpool and Wolverine trailer is here!

We are not sure what this movie is about, or why Cassandra Nova was chosen as the villain. The live action X-Men films have always put our heads in a spin. But we are enjoying the cameos.

What do you think about the trailer?

We could always roll out a giant gong and hit that at the end of the theme song for heightened effect.

Me, to the other @themutantages.bsky.social folks as I watch this week's X-Men '97: "Wait, ARE these two in love? Because I feel like the thrust of the scene I just watched is 'these two people hate each other'."

Ryan and Maddy have hit the first ep of #XMen97 that they don't adore, and it's got a lot to do with the representation of Mojo. Also Lifedeath moves at breakneck speed.

Madelyne Pryor has quite the backstory in Marvel Comics and it's fascinating to see how X-Men '97 shortened and adapted her story. Also Mr. Sinister is finally here.
