Speaker 1: Hello.
Speaker 2: My name is Jason Concepcion, and I'm ready night and
Speaker 2: welcome to the final preview episode of X ray Vision
Speaker 2: for official return on Thursday, May second. And we're so
Speaker 2: delighted today to be talking about what Rosie.
Speaker 1: That unbelievable episode five of X Men ninety seven.
Speaker 3: We had to come back to talk about it.
Speaker 4: I haven't talked about it.
Speaker 3: We had to talk about it.
Speaker 2: Come on, X Men ninety seven, remember it. We open
Speaker 2: with TV journalist Trish Tilby going to the X Mansion
Speaker 2: to interview the X Men as part of FC News's
Speaker 2: story about mutants and their ongoing integration into society. She
Speaker 2: sits with Hank, she tours the ground, she talked with Jubilee,
Speaker 2: and she has an extended sit down with Scott.
Speaker 4: Well, it doesn't go great.
Speaker 2: We also learned that the un is set to formally
Speaker 2: admit the mutant nation of Genosha. Magneto, Rogue, and third
Speaker 2: Wheel Gambit fly to Genosha for the celebrations. Gambit unwilling
Speaker 2: to let Rogue and Magneto be alone, and they are.
Speaker 4: Welcomed as heroes. It's a utopia.
Speaker 2: We get glimpses of lots of members of the Mutant family,
Speaker 2: including our favorite glob Herman, Leech, Pixie Boom Boom, Dazzler, Linley, Merrow, Callisto, Exit,
Speaker 2: as many many more, Madeline, Pryor, and night Crawler. Wonderfully
Speaker 2: night Crawler, wonderful to see Nightcrawl there to.
Speaker 4: Greet the X Men.
Speaker 3: He's back. He loves Gambit.
Speaker 1: It's fantastic to see the two of them back together,
Speaker 1: it really is.
Speaker 2: And the Genotionans have a particular reverence for Magneto, as
Speaker 2: does Rogue, something more than a reverence perhaps, and that
Speaker 2: really really bothers Gambit. Scott, in his interview with Trish,
Speaker 2: goes way, way, way, way too deep, spilling in foe
Speaker 2: about his time with Gene, her phoenix powers, the time
Speaker 2: she held Scott's eyeblast back during their romantic love making
Speaker 2: session in the desert, talks about his son Nate with Madeline,
Speaker 2: and then he blows up and he walks out.
Speaker 4: Not a good look.
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, actual Gene is out on the X grounds trying
Speaker 2: to figure out which memories are hers, which memories are Madeline's,
Speaker 2: and she kisses.
Speaker 4: Logan basically says.
Speaker 1: Ovid, whoa guys, guys, this is like a legendary threes
Speaker 1: triple little tripleing.
Speaker 3: Gang built hit. I mean, Logan and Gene. That's like
Speaker 3: one of the ultimate X menships. So I was very happy.
Speaker 3: They really do everything in this episode.
Speaker 4: They do it all.
Speaker 3: They do all that going from the eighties to the
Speaker 3: nineties to the Zeros. We get new X Men, we
Speaker 3: get Logan and Jean. It's unbelievable.
Speaker 2: It's unbelievable. Everything you want if you're an X Men fan,
Speaker 2: happened here. And so Logan basically says, listen, that never happened.
Speaker 2: You're supposed to be with Scott, and and that's it.
Speaker 4: He walks away.
Speaker 2: Magneto meets with the Genosha Council, Emma Frost, Callisto, Sebastian Shaw, Banshee, Madeline,
Speaker 2: and the Honorary Human we McTaggart. One of the great
Speaker 2: awes of mutandom. They want Magneto to be the head
Speaker 2: of Genosha's government, and Magnets like, I'm not sure.
Speaker 4: About this, but I'll tell you what.
Speaker 2: If you put Rogue as my co leader with me,
Speaker 2: I'll do it.
Speaker 3: Oh oh, Scott.
Speaker 2: Gene and Scott talk about Nathan, their son. They kiss,
Speaker 2: but shocking turn of events. It turns out Scott is
Speaker 2: telepathically linked with Madeline.
Speaker 4: It is a psychic affair.
Speaker 2: Gene finds him, she blows up, and then all of
Speaker 2: a sudden, a burst of psychic anguish hits Gene. Because
Speaker 2: back on Genosha things are happening. Rogue tells Gambit about
Speaker 2: her relationship with Magneto, how she really feels about him.
Speaker 2: She loves him, and she can actually touch him.
Speaker 1: Huge change as well, hand that vergues powers are shifting
Speaker 1: and changing. I don't that's Magni canon being able to
Speaker 1: touch Magnia. I don't think that's Kanon.
Speaker 3: I love that moment.
Speaker 4: And it's more than that.
Speaker 2: She actually feels like he can see her, and the
Speaker 2: vision that he has for a mutant culture and society
Speaker 2: is truly entrancing to her. They obviously they broke up
Speaker 2: because it just there is too much baggage, obviously with
Speaker 2: him being a super villain in her trying to go straight.
Speaker 2: But now that they're going to rule Genosha together, she
Speaker 2: makes a clean break with Gambit.
Speaker 4: The party on.
Speaker 2: Genosha is just it's unbelievable, it's wonderful. It's a massive celebration.
Speaker 2: Gambit of course can't enjoy it because his heart is
Speaker 2: in pieces. Then the Wild Sentinel strikes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but Rogue can't enjoy it either because as she's
Speaker 1: doing a delightful dance with Magneto, she realizes she actually
Speaker 1: loves Gambit, and she leaves Magnio behind and says he
Speaker 1: was right.
Speaker 3: Some things are deeper than skin. And then she's off.
Speaker 3: But you know, the Wild Sentinel strikes. Is it a
Speaker 3: Tri Sentinel? It looks like a.
Speaker 1: Tri Sentinel, but those have only been in the comics
Speaker 1: like eight times. Yeah, but the three heads the six arms.
Speaker 1: Also it has big living tribunal energy.
Speaker 3: Which the three really does it is this action sequence
Speaker 3: was just unbelievable. I thought they'd already.
Speaker 1: Done a fantastic job with action in this series, but
Speaker 1: this particular episode.
Speaker 3: Is just unreal.
Speaker 4: It shades of Attack on Titan.
Speaker 1: It was.
Speaker 4: It was just massive.
Speaker 2: In the end, the Sentinel is defeated, but the cost
Speaker 2: is unthinkable untold. Millions of mutants are dead, including Madeline
Speaker 2: Pryor as as up until recently, series head Bodomeo revealed
Speaker 2: on Twitter that yeah, Madeline didn't make it, among millions
Speaker 2: of others, including Magneto, Leech, and Gambit, who gave his
Speaker 2: life to stop the Wild Sentinel talking points.
Speaker 4: Even even okay, so let's stop.
Speaker 1: I had no idea that they would get to the
Speaker 1: psychic affair so quickly.
Speaker 4: So in the comics it's really jumped way.
Speaker 1: Do you remember last week I was complained, well earlier
Speaker 1: this week actually, I was complaining about how Scott is
Speaker 1: actually like kind of a bomb and he cheats on
Speaker 1: Gene with Emma. But here they do the psychic affair
Speaker 1: with Madeline, which I thought worked really well already in
Speaker 1: New X Men territory. So if you've read those fantastic
Speaker 1: comics by Grant Morrison and Frank Quietly, then you knew
Speaker 1: that when they went to Genosha, this wasn't going to
Speaker 1: end well.
Speaker 2: Well, can I say this is a potentially spoiler, so.
Speaker 4: Listener beware.
Speaker 2: But when they come back from the mental Affair, the
Speaker 2: first shot is Emma going, oh, I do I wonder
Speaker 2: if it's if it isn't.
Speaker 1: Her, I know, I think, or if she is puppet
Speaker 1: mastering behind. I did think that it was a very
Speaker 1: defined cut. They did say, oh, look, it's Emma Frost
Speaker 1: looking sexy and like she's causing problems it's like I
Speaker 1: would believe it, but yeah, I mean, they got here
Speaker 1: so fast. It was so incredible. I think that for
Speaker 1: people who aren't.
Speaker 3: Really deeply in aged with that new X Men era,
Speaker 3: this was a shock. I had so many people DM me.
Speaker 3: I had friends in my.
Speaker 1: Messages being like, what the fuck, man, It's like, I
Speaker 1: did not see this coming. Especially, this feels like a
Speaker 1: season finale or a mid season break, you know, it
Speaker 1: doesn't just feel like a random episode five. So I
Speaker 1: think one of the most interesting things here is we
Speaker 1: still have five episodes to go, and I think that
Speaker 1: we're seeing the beginning of the setup for Kracoa here.
Speaker 1: I think that Scott being so angry with the humans
Speaker 1: and kind of breaking away. I think the fact that
Speaker 1: now the mutants are going to feel like they need
Speaker 1: they need somewhere that's just for them that the humans
Speaker 1: can't touch. You know.
Speaker 3: I think we could be.
Speaker 1: Seeing a situation where by season two, we have Cricoa,
Speaker 1: we have the Resurrection Protocol, and you're bringing back those
Speaker 1: mutants who we lost here, which, by the way, like
Speaker 1: you said, is millions of mutants. Janosha was essentially like
Speaker 1: a safe haven for mutants, and now it's just gone.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that there might be I don't know, a dozen left,
Speaker 2: like not very many, whoever wasn't there plus the survivors
Speaker 2: who we see, who included Pixie and a few others.
Speaker 2: One thing that really piqued my interest was the reference
Speaker 2: to the gardens. So the gardens, the healing gardens, those
Speaker 2: are a Krokoa thing, which it's so, and the gardens
Speaker 2: also include like the ability to bring back mutants, which
Speaker 2: makes me feel like, I think you're right like it.
Speaker 4: We might go to Krakoa a lot faster than we think.
Speaker 4: I didn't think we'd get here of this fast.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 1: I thought the Psychic Afa was going to be maybe
Speaker 1: at the end of the season. But they've done such
Speaker 1: a good job kind of mixing timelines and rolling around and.
Speaker 3: Also expanding in New X Men.
Speaker 1: The Genotia stuff is really famous because you're literally there
Speaker 1: for like a couple of pages.
Speaker 3: And then it's gone.
Speaker 1: And that's where the fantastic Negasonic teenage warhead comes from,
Speaker 1: who people know from Deadpool, you know, famously died instantly character.
Speaker 1: But I love that here they get let us see Genosha,
Speaker 1: and they used it as a place. I mean you
Speaker 1: mentioned them, but we get to see so many characters here.
Speaker 1: There's so much fun to be had. We also get
Speaker 1: these incredibly emotional moments. The moment with Leech and the
Speaker 1: Morlocks and they're underground and Leech says, oh no, Magneto said,
Speaker 1: I'd never have to be scared again.
Speaker 3: And then later you get.
Speaker 1: The callback to that when Magneto's holding Leech as he seemingly,
Speaker 1: you know, kills himself and uses his powers to you know,
Speaker 1: get in, get that final hit in to the to
Speaker 1: this giant, you know, wild Sentinel. And then obviously you
Speaker 1: have Gambit, who gets this huge. This is a great
Speaker 1: episode for me because I am a Gambit apols Gambit ever,
Speaker 1: and I'm a Scot hater Gambit.
Speaker 3: Yes, Scott's losing it.
Speaker 1: Gambit is getting propaganda all over the place here, He's
Speaker 1: using He's powering up the Sentinel after getting stabbed to
Speaker 1: defeat it. That's one of the most badass things ever. Also,
Speaker 1: the moment where he the moment where he powers up
Speaker 1: his motorcycle and just throws it at Rogue to knock
Speaker 1: her out.
Speaker 3: The air is so good.
Speaker 1: I'm just yeah, it's so delightful, and I'm it was
Speaker 1: so emotional, and I know a lot of people were
Speaker 1: just totally broken by this episode.
Speaker 3: But I would say, if you lost the mutant that you.
Speaker 1: Love today, don't worry because I think Krokoa and the
Speaker 1: Resurrection protocols are coming very soon.
Speaker 4: What the of the Yeah, what is the rest of
Speaker 4: the season. I will tell you.
Speaker 2: What I think the rest of the season looks like
Speaker 2: in a nose spoiler way for those of you not
Speaker 2: familiar with X Men more, I think a mysterious mutant
Speaker 2: named Zorn is going to show up, and everything that
Speaker 2: happens with Zorn is going to be the season finale
Speaker 2: of season one of this show.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it makes too much sense.
Speaker 2: This mysterious mutant, very powerful name Zorn will show up
Speaker 2: with this interesting face mask and will be a hero
Speaker 2: and then and certain reveals will happen that will be
Speaker 2: mind blowing for people who are n't aware of X
Speaker 2: Men lore. That's what I think is gonna happen. Okay,
Speaker 2: we got here so fair.
Speaker 3: We got here so quick.
Speaker 1: Okay, so I think we've gotten in the credits, we
Speaker 1: know they're kind of revealing stuff that happens. We get
Speaker 1: to see the Shia, we get to see Leia Landra.
Speaker 1: Who are these kind of space X Men. I think
Speaker 1: we will get to see them before the end of
Speaker 1: the season. I think that with mutants dead, we're gonna
Speaker 1: need extra help to protect the Earth. I also was
Speaker 1: very happy to see a flash of a moment with
Speaker 1: Storm returning. I think now Storm will return, and I
Speaker 1: think we will get one of the best kind of
Speaker 1: issues at the back Man, which is going to be
Speaker 1: the battle for the leadership of the X Men, but
Speaker 1: now it's going to because Magneto is gone, rather than
Speaker 1: Charles being gone. Will we see Charles resurrected before the
Speaker 1: end of the season.
Speaker 3: I could believe it.
Speaker 1: I could believe it, But maybe that's the season two thing.
Speaker 1: I just this was just so great.
Speaker 2: Season three, season four, like as many seasons as they
Speaker 2: want to make, keep making it because I am blown away.
Speaker 4: This is like top level.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, this is one of the best episodes
Speaker 1: of TV this year. Yeah, I honestly think Disney Plus
Speaker 1: is missing a trick by not being out here just
Speaker 1: hyping this up like it's an episodic live action show
Speaker 1: like they should be doing like breakdowns. After this, you
Speaker 1: can speak to talent, you can do this. This is
Speaker 1: the show people are talking about this week, and it
Speaker 1: just delivered on every front.
Speaker 2: I agree, And I also think, you know, with so
Speaker 2: much discourse about like is the is the MCU, is.
Speaker 4: The gas running out? Is it slowing down? This is
Speaker 4: the other thing that they have like.
Speaker 2: In their holster is the X Men, which have exactly
Speaker 2: and this is the return of the X Men and
Speaker 2: the animated series in the form of X Men ninety
Speaker 2: seven is proof of concept that this is just such
Speaker 2: a powerful story collection of heroes, the romance, the stramapre
Speaker 2: and nature of it, the action, the overall the strength
Speaker 2: of the metaphor, and what it means to people like
Speaker 2: this is it's gonna be huge when the X Men
Speaker 2: hit in live action.
Speaker 4: It's gonna be huge.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's close the show with Who's Who. Every show
Speaker 2: we close the show with a variety of fast moving segments.
Speaker 2: Today it's Who's Who, in which we talk about some
Speaker 2: of our favorite weird characters from our given universe. Of
Speaker 2: this episode, we talk about some of the incredible variety
Speaker 2: of mutants that we see in this episode.
Speaker 4: Rosie, who did you see?
Speaker 1: I was very happy to see Boom boom all time
Speaker 1: favorite character for me. Would love to see her come back,
Speaker 1: but she's probably dead. RP boom boom Pixie. I have
Speaker 1: this fantastic This Men poster where for some reason they
Speaker 1: drew Pixie really big and I always think about her.
Speaker 1: I love the Morlocks, so it was incredible to see Callisto. Also,
Speaker 1: I was losing it that Globe Herman showed up after
Speaker 1: the last episode.
Speaker 3: I literally texted you straight away and then every everyone
Speaker 3: in the discord was like, what does Jason know?
Speaker 4: How did he come up? Club?
Speaker 3: He is back?
Speaker 1: So that was incredible to see him. I loved what
Speaker 1: they did with Leech. I actually thought they made him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just I loved I loved the fact that you
Speaker 1: could just be looking around and kind of like picking out, Oh,
Speaker 1: this is a character I loved. Oh this is a
Speaker 1: character I haven't seen for a long time. You know.
Speaker 3: It's it's really special.
Speaker 1: To be able to have a roster that big, so
Speaker 1: you can do that and kind of make people excited.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was tremendous. I mean, you just named all
Speaker 2: my favorites. Honestly, seeing Dazzler in the nineties costume, it
Speaker 2: was amazing. Everything you said, I'll double down on Meghan
Speaker 2: Green aka Pixie was I was not expecting to see her.
Speaker 2: Also loved seeing little Leech, who plays such an important
Speaker 2: role in so many of the stories that I loved
Speaker 2: X Men stories that I love from the nineties.
Speaker 4: I can't wait to see where this show is going. Unbelievable.
Speaker 2: I have to talk about an incredible moment in which
Speaker 2: Cable is swinging into action, but something pulls him back.
Speaker 4: Into the timelines.
Speaker 2: He gets jumped somewhere in time, but before he goes
Speaker 2: Madeleine realizes that who he is, that he is a
Speaker 2: future version of her son.
Speaker 1: And he says sorry, mom as he kind of jumps back.
Speaker 1: It seems like he has one of bishops kind of
Speaker 1: gauntlets that can travel through time, and he says not again.
Speaker 1: So I also wonder how many times he's tried to
Speaker 1: stop this particular disaster.
Speaker 3: But that moment was so good.
Speaker 1: I love Cable, I love that Maddie got to see
Speaker 1: him before she had passed IRP, and I'm excited to
Speaker 1: see how he comes into play going into the rest
Speaker 1: of the season.
Speaker 2: Well that's it for our final preview episode of X
Speaker 2: Ray Vision ahead of our launch. If anything huge happens
Speaker 2: before our launch on Thursday, May second. We can't cover
Speaker 2: it because we're coming back May second. Anything that you're
Speaker 2: looking forward to ahead of launch, Rosie.
Speaker 1: I'm just looking forward to being back talking to you
Speaker 1: about this cool stuff.
Speaker 3: And also I'm definitely excited for X Men episode six.
Speaker 4: Now, where do they Go?
Speaker 3: Where do they go?
Speaker 4: See you next show,
