Speaker 1: Warning, Today's episode contains spoilers for X Men ninety seven
Speaker 1: and the wider X Men comics Cannon.
Speaker 2: Hello.
Speaker 1: My name is Jaconceptium and I'm rosday Night, and welcome
Speaker 1: back to x Revision, the podcast where we dive deep
Speaker 1: to your favorite shows, movies, comics and pop culture. Coming
Speaker 1: to you from iHeart Podcast, where we're bringing you two
Speaker 1: episodes a week every Tuesday Thursday.
Speaker 3: In today's episode, in the previously on, we're ripping our
Speaker 3: Canuk claws into all the X Men and Marvel News
Speaker 3: you can shake a Wolverine at In the airlock, we
Speaker 3: are diving into that wild X Men season one finale
Speaker 3: with special guests and expert Stephanie Williams. In the omnibus,
Speaker 3: we're going to dig into the best comics to read
Speaker 3: after X Men ninety seven, why they're important, and where
Speaker 3: they fit into X Men history.
Speaker 4: But first, it's a previously on.
Speaker 5: First up.
Speaker 1: New Dazzler, Storm and Avengers titles have been announced by
Speaker 1: Marvel Comics on the app formerly known as Twitter and
Speaker 1: other social media feeds. Your thoughts Rosy about this, I
Speaker 1: think it's cool.
Speaker 3: I'm glad to see Dazzler getting her shine me and
Speaker 3: Nick recently all the Dazzler Original Comics series. The covers
Speaker 3: are amazing, the issues are you know, Okay, So I'd
Speaker 3: like to see I get a good solo series. I
Speaker 3: want to see Storm get that solo series. We have
Speaker 3: Stephanie Williams later. If they were going to pick someone
Speaker 3: to write that Storm series, I would hope it's going
Speaker 3: to be steph It's going to be interesting to see
Speaker 3: them launch this from the Ashes era, which is kind
Speaker 3: of this new X Men era. The interesting thing is
Speaker 3: we also learned that Storm is going to be joining
Speaker 3: the Avengers. In Avenger seventeen. They called her Earth's My
Speaker 3: Ears mutant. I'm down for that. I totally believe it.
Speaker 3: Someone in our discord made a great point though. This
Speaker 3: means there are going to be eleven titles in the
Speaker 3: X line if you include X Men, Uncanny, X Men Extraordinary,
Speaker 3: X Men, Phoenix, X Force, NYX, Wolverine, and then these
Speaker 3: new books.
Speaker 4: So that seems like a lot.
Speaker 3: But from what I've been reading, it's not necessarily a
Speaker 3: you have to read everything.
Speaker 4: I think it's more of a jumping on point. So
Speaker 4: what of the books you're most excited to see?
Speaker 1: Gosh I am an X Men always, X Men and
Speaker 1: Uncanny are gonna remain my mainstays as usual, and then
Speaker 1: Phoenix Storm X Force are probably the ones that I'm
Speaker 1: gonna concentrate on, and They'm gonna dabble in the rest.
Speaker 1: But honestly, this, I mean it feels like the nineties
Speaker 1: again when there is suddenly an explosion of X spinoff
Speaker 1: books with X Factor and Yx and all the others
Speaker 1: and new mutants, and so it's giving me nineties vibes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, which I can never complain about because we're nineties babies.
Speaker 4: So very fun.
Speaker 1: New Marvel release dates from The Hollywood Reporter. Daredevil Born
Speaker 1: Again will be seen in March twenty twenty five.
Speaker 5: Very interesting.
Speaker 1: Agatha all Long The Scarlet which spinoff series will be
Speaker 1: on September eighteenth, iron Heart not canceled, Shotgan hitting the
Speaker 1: screens next year, and then Marvel Television has been rebranded
Speaker 1: branded again as Marvel Television, joins Marvel Studios, Marvel Spotlight,
Speaker 1: Marvel Animation and Special Presentations. If those are still acting.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it does this take those over who knows?
Speaker 5: But good for the sea.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And also I'm a big fan of the fact that
Speaker 3: Agatha All Along has had so many different names, and
Speaker 3: it feels like this name is like a final joke
Speaker 3: because they kept renaming it, but it was just.
Speaker 4: Agatha all along. And I'm excited that that's going to
Speaker 4: hit this year.
Speaker 3: We weren't expecting that to happen, so that'll be a
Speaker 3: lot of fun to cover.
Speaker 1: Coming up stepping out of their lock and talking about
Speaker 1: the finale of X Men ninety seven.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Stephanie Williams is a cultural critic, superstar, meme maker,
Speaker 3: and writer behind some of your favorite comics like Nubier
Speaker 3: and the Amazons, Living Heroes, Mungo and Devil, Dinosaur, Rock
Speaker 3: and Roll, and more. She's also a world class Charles
Speaker 3: Xavier hater and X Men expert, so the perfect guest
Speaker 3: for this episode.
Speaker 6: Hello Stephanie, Hey, I am so happy to be here
Speaker 6: because I have not been on the app formerly known
Speaker 6: as Twitter. I haven't been able to like really you know,
Speaker 6: like shout from the rooftops. I was right this whole time.
Speaker 4: You were like, I need people to know it's not
Speaker 4: originally Charles hater.
Speaker 1: We've been here, they're seeing the lights. Finally they're seeing
Speaker 1: I must admit people. People will post it us and
Speaker 1: messages like Charles has Charles had always been this.
Speaker 4: Naive Yes, I never forget.
Speaker 3: In the Discord, one of our amazing Discord members was like, so,
Speaker 3: wait a minute, is Charles like not a good guy?
Speaker 3: And everyone in the Discord just went boom every Everyone's
Speaker 3: like there were seats, there were seats, there were seats
Speaker 3: like this matter mistakes.
Speaker 1: It's a good thing Charles can implant thoughts to people's
Speaker 1: minds because his actual arguments are not good.
Speaker 4: They're not good man, He's struggling. Steph.
Speaker 3: Before we get into the season finale and recap it
Speaker 3: and get into all the good topics, what was your
Speaker 3: X Men origin story? So?
Speaker 6: My x Men origin story was at the laundry meat Uh.
Speaker 6: So there was a laundrymat that we would sometimes go
Speaker 6: to and there was a I think it's Marble versus
Speaker 6: Capcom or Marble Marble versus Street Fighter, one of the two.
Speaker 6: And I just remember always picking Storm and like Typhoon,
Speaker 6: Typhoon all day long. And I, yes, I know, he
Speaker 6: couldn't stand whenever I would come in there, because it
Speaker 6: was either that or turtles and time and turtles and time.
Speaker 2: No. So that was kind of the.
Speaker 6: Thing that made me say, oh, this game that I
Speaker 6: enjoy playing when I have to go to the laundry mat.
Speaker 6: There's a show on TV that comes on Fox and
Speaker 6: sometimes episodes come on after school. So I started watching
Speaker 6: the actual show and it was just love ever since.
Speaker 6: And then very early on I said, Man, this man
Speaker 6: in this really ugly green suit and tie.
Speaker 2: I do not like him.
Speaker 4: You were you were like this, it's board headed by Nest.
Speaker 4: Something wrong with him.
Speaker 6: Yes, I remember the episode where he told with Verreen, like, hey,
Speaker 6: you can't handle your business with saber Tooth. But then
Speaker 6: by the end of it was like wanted them to
Speaker 6: go fight Magneto, and it's just like, sir, what when
Speaker 6: the Joel olste.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean you've written extensively at you about how bad
Speaker 3: Charles is and his history, so as we get into
Speaker 3: the finale discussion, you must be feeling quite vindicated because
Speaker 3: he does come through at the end, but he also
Speaker 3: makes some some killer classic Charles's mistakes, classic classic Charles mistakes.
Speaker 2: I celebrated.
Speaker 6: I did, like I always joke about him going on
Speaker 6: that that Tom Joiner morning Cruise out of Space to
Speaker 6: be like with Llandra, and he just left his kids.
Speaker 6: He said good luck to y'all. Yes, I'm out here.
Speaker 6: You know, I want to be nasty with birds.
Speaker 3: So, like you said, I'd been making love and drinking wine,
Speaker 3: and you know, she's just getting.
Speaker 4: Destroyed, like and he just even admits it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we talked about it in our Tuesday episode. I
Speaker 1: think that episode of X Men ninety seven really crystallized
Speaker 1: the problem with Charles. You know, Magneto and Charles's kids,
Speaker 1: Charles's family are fighting off active extinction at the hands
Speaker 1: of Bastian. The world's governments are like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: we could do something, but we won't, just like we
Speaker 1: didn't do anything about Genosha. We've got the Avengers, but
Speaker 1: should we really have them do something about this? No,
Speaker 1: let's just sit back and watch it happen. Magneto decided
Speaker 1: to do something, turned off all the electricity in the
Speaker 1: word because it was an emergency, had to make a
Speaker 1: wartime decision. And then Charles shows up. He's been on
Speaker 1: vacation in space with his girl ruling an empire. Comes back,
Speaker 1: has no idea the context, what's been going on. It's
Speaker 1: just like, hey, turn the power back on.
Speaker 3: Wait what as we see in this episode? Terrible idea,
Speaker 3: like that was your plan.
Speaker 1: Charles, Well, Steph, we're delighted to have you here as
Speaker 1: we recap this episode, So let's get into it. X
Speaker 1: Men ninety seven Survival is Extinction, Part three, the season
Speaker 1: one X Men ninety seven finale. We open an asteroid
Speaker 1: m where Charles has burrowed deep into Magneto Psyche as
Speaker 1: he loves to do, in an attempt to get Magnus
Speaker 1: to heal Earth's magnetic field and turn the power back on,
Speaker 1: which I just want to say, I would love to
Speaker 1: see the power back on. I just don't think you
Speaker 1: do it unilaterally without getting anything back to the Yeah, something,
Speaker 1: hey promise to rein in the Sentinels and we'll turn
Speaker 1: the power back you just you anyway.
Speaker 3: Maybe go around and you know, collect up the prime sentinels.
Speaker 4: So they don't just come back on.
Speaker 3: Like maybe get a little bit of like a promutant
Speaker 3: legislation written into law, just something.
Speaker 4: But Charles is like, now, just turn it on.
Speaker 1: How about give us Trask and all the team behind
Speaker 1: the Sentinels and let us bring them to justice. Anyway,
Speaker 1: Charles in the end takes control of Magneto's powers and
Speaker 1: he just does it himself. Power is turned on across
Speaker 1: the globe. The Bashian bots reactivate, and Bashian is as
Speaker 1: powerful as ever. He's triumphant. He holds gold Team prisoner.
Speaker 1: He is this guy loves no one, but it's really
Speaker 1: bashing and Charles. Those two love to make a speech,
Speaker 1: don't they.
Speaker 2: I said, what is this like? Is this the talk hour?
Speaker 6: Re?
Speaker 5: You're a way to work.
Speaker 6: You're on your way to work, all of a sudden
Speaker 6: you can't go because the power's all out. So you're
Speaker 6: you're waiting at this and he's like, well, I guess
Speaker 6: I'm going back home, but you're not because Charles has
Speaker 6: turned the power back on. And now somewhere off you
Speaker 6: got this guy.
Speaker 2: Who is just waxing poetically about all the things. It's
Speaker 2: just like, I shut up and do the thing.
Speaker 1: Just kill us, Yeah, just kill talking.
Speaker 4: I don't want to know about it.
Speaker 5: So a Bastian is.
Speaker 1: Telling us all about his philosophy, which is essentially tolerance,
Speaker 1: his extension. He wants to he understanding that mutants evolved
Speaker 1: from humankind, why not go straight to the root and
Speaker 1: kill everybody?
Speaker 5: That's his plan? Uh much too Sinister's disappointment.
Speaker 1: Bastian is about to start with Nathan, who he has
Speaker 1: once upon a time promised to give to mister Sinister.
Speaker 1: But then Jean, with the very convenient power of the
Speaker 1: phoenix awakened inside of her, emerges and she just cleans house.
Speaker 4: I just have to.
Speaker 3: Say, Bastian really manifested this when he said, Jean Madeline
Speaker 3: never the phoenix just dead. I was like, bro, as
Speaker 3: soon as you say that the phoenix has comment, you
Speaker 3: changed yourself.
Speaker 6: The phoenix was in the middle of a delicious meal
Speaker 6: of some galaxy somewhere and like heard that and said
Speaker 6: I'll be back.
Speaker 2: Minutes.
Speaker 1: Phoenix reassembles the technopathy inhibiting collar that Hank and Forge
Speaker 1: designed and puts it on Bashian's head. She then deliciously
Speaker 1: pulls all of mister Sinister's ac crude mutant DNA that
Speaker 1: he has used to keep himself looking like he gets
Speaker 1: twice a year laser and botox and everything. All his
Speaker 1: beautiful skitty shrivels up into an old husk. He asks, Wharf,
Speaker 1: what do I look like?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 5: Show me.
Speaker 1: Wharf shows up and Sinister flees it far it. What
Speaker 1: a what a beautiful denu.
Speaker 5: Of it for mister.
Speaker 3: I also love this idea that you can use wolf
Speaker 3: as a mirror, like Sinister just shook show me what
Speaker 3: I look like, and mof just doesn't. And I'm okay,
Speaker 3: I love that for you. I'm most like looks the
Speaker 3: same to me and said, this is like crying with
Speaker 3: his big bold head walking off it fantastic.
Speaker 1: It's so top tier that mister Sinister's entire mission in life,
Speaker 1: the mutant Massacre, everything he's done is just to keep
Speaker 1: himself looking cute, just looking by fat.
Speaker 2: I want that.
Speaker 6: I want that remake. I want this remake Sinister. He
Speaker 6: has a plan or whatever, or maybe it's someone else
Speaker 6: and it's it's death becomes him and it's Sinister and
Speaker 6: someone else.
Speaker 4: Stephan, that's your next backup story, no question.
Speaker 2: That makes him come on for Black History too. I'm sure.
Speaker 1: So Bashian can't interface with other machines and other people anymore,
Speaker 1: but he is still powerful. He tears off Cable's arm,
Speaker 1: feeds him with to builds himself a set of armor
Speaker 1: and wings, and he flies off to Asteroid X. Yes,
Speaker 1: he beats him so terribly, really really awfully, like he
Speaker 1: owed him.
Speaker 2: Twenty dollars, You owe me twenty dollars.
Speaker 5: Meet down well, he was annoyed.
Speaker 1: He was annoyed that Nathan keeps trying to go back
Speaker 1: in time and kill him, and we learned that he's
Speaker 1: Nathan's tried this two hundred times, it's yet to succeed,
Speaker 1: and clearly that got on Bashian sturves.
Speaker 4: Bastan's sick of him.
Speaker 1: So Bashan flies off to Asteroid X and his plan
Speaker 1: is to crash it into Earth and kill everybody on
Speaker 1: the asteroid. Charles is continuing his mission inside Magnus's mind
Speaker 1: now after hijacking his powers, Magnus's psyche is fragmented and
Speaker 1: he's trying to heal it and rebuild it all at
Speaker 1: the same time.
Speaker 5: If he fails, but.
Speaker 7: That was his own problem. I just need to say
Speaker 7: that this is the problem with Charles. Everything in this
Speaker 7: episode is his own doing. If he didn't mind wipe
Speaker 7: his boyfriend who By the way, I know that Bodomeo
Speaker 7: and the team.
Speaker 3: Were having a lot of fun in this episode because
Speaker 3: there's so many moments when they almost kiss, like they're
Speaker 3: like right up against each other, and he's like, remember me, Magnus,
Speaker 3: remember me. Remember you wouldn't need to remember if you
Speaker 3: did a mind I won't.
Speaker 5: I won't leave you.
Speaker 1: I won't leave you to the cold waters alone, Magnus.
Speaker 1: I will remain here exactly embracing you to the end.
Speaker 4: And it sweeps me underneath with you. I'm like, we
Speaker 4: get it.
Speaker 2: You're in love.
Speaker 7: Guys like, but stop mind wiping each other as creepy.
Speaker 5: You're exactly right, Rosie.
Speaker 1: This is Charles's m O, which is hey, uh, by
Speaker 1: the way, I don't mess with people's minds unless I
Speaker 1: absolutely have to asterisk, Yes, I do, and then later
Speaker 1: on people find out about it and it causes all problems. Anyway,
Speaker 1: Jeane mind links with Scott to warn him that Bashian
Speaker 1: is coming. Blue Team defends the asteroid against Fashion, and
Speaker 1: it was just wonderful to watch Rogue get some wix in.
Speaker 6: Whenever she puts on that green suit, look out, it's
Speaker 6: time to get trying.
Speaker 1: To get real busy, and she was working some things
Speaker 1: out against Fashion.
Speaker 3: Yeah, flying him all the way through space, flies into
Speaker 3: the moon. I did expect city and humans. I'm not
Speaker 3: gonna lie. When they landed on the moon, I thought
Speaker 3: black Boat was gonna come out and be giving him
Speaker 3: like a stinki.
Speaker 2: Moon, like in the middle of a washing.
Speaker 4: She was like, yeah, like, look at her cap at
Speaker 4: the moon, just like, nah, I'm good. You guys know what.
Speaker 2: The time keeps going off.
Speaker 1: Hey, someone's outside. It looks like the X Men again
Speaker 1: and somebody else.
Speaker 5: I'll just leave it.
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, you know, Lockjaw barking like crazy at the door,
Speaker 1: and then I much.
Speaker 6: Crystals somewhere cheating on the other side of the castle,
Speaker 6: her new flavor at the.
Speaker 1: Mom Meanwhile, President Kelly is in the Situation Room and
Speaker 1: over the incredibly limp protests of Captain America, the dog
Speaker 1: on a leash, who will once again not do the
Speaker 1: right thing because he's been ordered not to do, and
Speaker 1: to Chilah, who, to be fair, actually talks some ship
Speaker 1: to President Kelly, the Magneto protocols are enacted and missiles
Speaker 1: are launched at Asteroid M. Un Missiles Gold Team arrives
Speaker 1: on Asteroid M in a sentinel just in time to
Speaker 1: stop Bashian. Scott then tries, inspired by the hope and
Speaker 1: the dream of Charles Xavier, tries to turn bash In
Speaker 1: towards the X Men's side to make him realize once
Speaker 1: and for all, Hey, you're like us, You're a mutant,
Speaker 1: like us, just a different kind of mutant. Why don't
Speaker 1: you stop this crazy thing that you're trying to do.
Speaker 1: That it wasn't gonna work, Okay, of course.
Speaker 4: Not if it was that.
Speaker 2: I'm like, Sorr, are you serious right now? His arm
Speaker 2: is missing peace right?
Speaker 1: Uh, of course it would not have worked. But we'll
Speaker 1: never find out because just then the un missile slam
Speaker 1: into Asteroid M, proving.
Speaker 5: Bastion right, honestly, like.
Speaker 1: Bastian is sucked into the now destroyed gravity core of
Speaker 1: Asteroid M, he disappears, and Magneto's base hurdles towards Earth.
Speaker 1: Hank comes up with a way that they can maybe
Speaker 1: save Earth if they all kind of use their powers
Speaker 1: to slow the asteroid from slamming into Earth. But of
Speaker 1: course this probably means they're all going to die. Geene
Speaker 1: and Scott mind link with Nathan to say goodbye, and
Speaker 1: it's actually it's a really touching moment.
Speaker 4: Actually, yeah, Charles, because is a deadbeat dad.
Speaker 5: I mean just like his dad, you know the apple.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the.
Speaker 1: Right falls on the other side of the galaxy, but
Speaker 1: but spiritually not that far, okay. Charles finally manages to
Speaker 1: reach Magnus by showing him the people that he cares
Speaker 1: about that could.
Speaker 5: Bring him back to Earth.
Speaker 1: And so Magnus sees on a boat rogue his hot
Speaker 1: young girlfriend, and then also on the boat, but in
Speaker 1: shadow all his children, Scarletwitch, Silver, lorda Dade, his flesh
Speaker 1: and blood kids who do not have even a fraction
Speaker 1: of the power to be guile his mind and bring
Speaker 1: him back to himself. Then then rogue because I guess
Speaker 1: that that Cajun stuff be yanked, because.
Speaker 8: That's the secondaryation, because what she said, your children like, yeah,
Speaker 8: forget to forget your kid.
Speaker 6: He can't.
Speaker 2: With the white streaks in her hair.
Speaker 5: He's like, rogue, that's right, that's right. I am Magnus,
Speaker 5: and I pulled that.
Speaker 4: I pulled that.
Speaker 5: That's my girlfriend at your child's Xavier. I must come
Speaker 5: back to myself.
Speaker 1: And so Magneto awakens, He lives, He's gotta get back
Speaker 1: to that. He powers up, stops Asteroid and which suddenly
Speaker 1: disappears sucked into I guess the vortex caused by the
Speaker 1: gravity core. The X Men disappear with it and they
Speaker 1: are presumed dead. And in this moment, I'm thinking, are
Speaker 1: we going to Australia?
Speaker 5: Are we gonna be in Australia.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I like that.
Speaker 3: It's like, no, yeah, we Godfather, We're going way for
Speaker 3: somewhere else.
Speaker 1: The X Men have been thrown across time. Rogue, Hank,
Speaker 1: Charles Magneto, and Nightcrawler find themselves in ancient Egypt, where,
Speaker 1: of course, they encounter the mutant who will soon be
Speaker 1: known as Apocalypse. And then in the far future, of course,
Speaker 1: Scott and Jean meet future versions of their family members,
Speaker 1: namely Mother Askani, leader of Klan Askani, who is a
Speaker 1: alternate version of Rachel Summers, their daughter, and a young
Speaker 1: Nathan Summers. And we go to season two, which we
Speaker 1: await with Beta Breath.
Speaker 4: Nathan Day as Kani. Oh, don't even get me started about.
Speaker 6: This real quick, because you know, I'm looking, I'm doing
Speaker 6: my account. I'm like, okay, where is she?
Speaker 5: What happened?
Speaker 3: I'm interested in that too, because we get to see
Speaker 3: just before the episode ends Forges looking for mutants, but
Speaker 3: really he's just looking for Storm as well.
Speaker 4: He's like, where that's making sense?
Speaker 3: And then obviously Lucas Bishops turns up love him and
Speaker 3: he's like, we gotta save the X Men, which is
Speaker 3: kind of a nice nod to like giant size where
Speaker 3: they kind of have to get a new team together.
Speaker 4: But where is Storm? My gut, there's two options here.
Speaker 3: One, she's off and they're gonna reveal that it's this
Speaker 3: big important plot point. Two they just forgot about her,
Speaker 3: because I have to say, my one issue with this
Speaker 3: show is they didn't necessarily hit all the storm beats
Speaker 3: they could have hit, Like, we didn't get her taken
Speaker 3: the leadership from Scott, we didn't get some of those
Speaker 3: bigger moments. So they either forgot or she's somewhere else.
Speaker 3: But I'll be interested to see where. I have to say,
Speaker 3: I don't believe Storm would get pulled into the Mother
Speaker 3: Ask Karnie nonsense. And I also believe she would have
Speaker 3: seen through apocalypse early on, so maybe that's why.
Speaker 4: Maybe they didn't want to, maybe they knew that she
Speaker 4: would be better off.
Speaker 3: But where she is is I think the biggest question
Speaker 3: going into season two because where in the timestream would
Speaker 3: you put her?
Speaker 4: Steph, what do you think?
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a good one.
Speaker 6: I actually wouldn't have minded putting her back so way
Speaker 6: back we're like Rogan them pop up because like her ancestor, yeah,
Speaker 6: and her ancestors and that whole magical thing. So I
Speaker 6: personally would have put her there because when they like
Speaker 6: pan to like the the Pyramids or wherever, like the
Speaker 6: the Royal Royal Palace, I was like.
Speaker 2: Oh, maybe Storms there, Maybe she's been there for a
Speaker 2: little bit, and now they're like, oh and some type
Speaker 2: of point. I don't Maybe.
Speaker 4: Storm wouldn't put up with Apocalypse.
Speaker 3: He's obviously not in power yet he's like fighting for
Speaker 3: his life. So maybe Storm's out there trying to stop
Speaker 3: him and she sent those guards to catch him.
Speaker 5: That would be cool.
Speaker 2: I would take that.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about some of your Charles Xavier hate. Did
Speaker 1: this season inform any of it? Did it build your case?
Speaker 1: Did it did it diminish your case at all? And
Speaker 1: how do you feel about it now? I personally, I
Speaker 1: think that this episode, this one episode was like the
Speaker 1: best moment that Charles has had in the series and
Speaker 1: a little bit of a enhancement of his philosophy. Though
Speaker 1: obviously it's extremely flawed, but to your Rosie's point, solving
Speaker 1: problems of his own making. But how do you feel
Speaker 1: about Charles now after the season.
Speaker 2: I feel vindicated.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I feel like, you know, the writings have been
Speaker 6: on the wall since forever ago. You've been way back
Speaker 6: when he was creeping on Gene will Well before.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 2: But it's just funny.
Speaker 6: Because in the ninety two he was terrible then and
Speaker 6: he's definitely still terrible now. Because when they cut to
Speaker 6: him in space and I saw him in that suit,
Speaker 6: I said, wow, oh, so this is where you've been.
Speaker 6: You couldn't even put in PTO. You just fake your
Speaker 6: death and the kids are down there fighting for their
Speaker 6: entire life vindication. But you know, sometimes being a visionary
Speaker 6: as lonely, all of us who have been a part
Speaker 6: of the Charles hate camp had to wait til twenty
Speaker 6: twenty four to get our full circle vindication.
Speaker 3: Truly, the only and this is like controversial to even
Speaker 3: bring up this movie, but the only movie that even
Speaker 3: touched on how bad Charles was really is Dark Phoenix.
Speaker 5: Yes, I knew you're gonna say Dark Phoenix. Yeah, it's true.
Speaker 3: He goes to like a fancy dinner award show to
Speaker 3: get like a so important award and the kids are
Speaker 3: just left to.
Speaker 4: Be attacked while they have like a dazzler rave.
Speaker 3: So I remember being like, oh, well that I love
Speaker 3: that they're I'm like I'm like, they're digging into it.
Speaker 3: I'm like, they're digging into it, They're digging into dark
Speaker 3: Charles James McAvoy's he's acting up and everyone's like, I've
Speaker 3: never even seen the movie while you're talking about and also,
Speaker 3: that's a bad movie, so how can we take that?
Speaker 3: But because X Men ninety seven is so beloved and
Speaker 3: it's dealt with the duality of Charles, I think people
Speaker 3: are for the first time given us our due and
Speaker 3: also coming around, Steph, what do you think it is
Speaker 3: about X Men ninety seven that has made it like
Speaker 3: so successful because this is kind of popped off in
Speaker 3: a way a lot of the Disney Plus stuff hasn't,
Speaker 3: and it really does seem to have hit a lot
Speaker 3: of the X Men notes and beats that people were
Speaker 3: looking for.
Speaker 6: Because I feel like it does a great job of
Speaker 6: not just it not rehashing ninety two or really any
Speaker 6: of the comics in a way that we've been here,
Speaker 6: done that we've seen this before. It feels fresh. I
Speaker 6: started watching it with my eight year old, which I
Speaker 6: enjoyed because I was really curious is what his reception
Speaker 6: would be of it, because ninety two he's watched a
Speaker 6: little bit of but for ninety seven, when we got
Speaker 6: to the end of episode two and like the two
Speaker 6: Genes showed up and he looked at me and he
Speaker 6: was like, what's going on? So later he's like, so, Gina,
Speaker 6: what's going on with Gina? I'm like, who is Gina?
Speaker 2: He met?
Speaker 6: I was like, who is Gena? He's like Scott's wife.
Speaker 6: I was like, Oh, you mean Gene Gray. I've been
Speaker 6: calling her Gina Gray since then. But I think of
Speaker 6: him being that temperature check. I think that it's just
Speaker 6: a really great job of making something accessible to those
Speaker 6: who have appreciated the previous X Men animated series in
Speaker 6: the comics, and also doing a good job of bringing
Speaker 6: in new fans because he I mean, he's gonna be
Speaker 6: mad at me today because I watched the finale before.
Speaker 6: I got to pretend like I didn't see it, but like,
Speaker 6: it's something that we've been able to actively Yes, we've
Speaker 6: been able to actively watch together Millennial and also Jen Alpha.
Speaker 2: Who knew it could bring those two together?
Speaker 4: I love that.
Speaker 1: Speaking of that, do we have any theories about when
Speaker 1: Sinister switched Gina and when when did the switch occur?
Speaker 4: I think the implication here is like pre Phoenix.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they they really make it seem like it's it's
Speaker 3: unclear who is who and whether Maddie was Phoenix or
Speaker 3: Gene was Phoenix. And maybe from what they were saying
Speaker 3: to Nate also potentially like in different universes it was
Speaker 3: at different times, because the implication is like maybe Maddie
Speaker 3: was Phoenix one time, Jane was Phoenix. So it's I
Speaker 3: think they leave it really open here, especially Becausejeane's always like,
Speaker 3: I don't know which.
Speaker 2: Memories are mine.
Speaker 4: I don't know which memories are mine, I don't know.
Speaker 3: Which hers, and then she's remembering stuff from like twenty
Speaker 3: years ago, and you're like, Babe, like this this is
Speaker 3: really fucked up, but I really love that by the
Speaker 3: end of this, she's just like, I'm embracing it.
Speaker 4: This is my son.
Speaker 3: I am Maddie, she is me. Maddie's dead now, so
Speaker 3: I don't need to worry about her. It's just me
Speaker 3: here and this is my child. So, continuing the comic
Speaker 3: book legacy where they just steal Nathan from Maddie.
Speaker 2: She's the mother who stepped up.
Speaker 7: She's not a stepmother, She's the mother who stepped up,
Speaker 7: came out of the Phoenix Force and saved her son
Speaker 7: when he was getting whipped with his own hand.
Speaker 1: Of course, we're all waiting for the X Men to
Speaker 1: appear in the MC. You what, if anything, does the
Speaker 1: success of X Men ninety seven tell us about the
Speaker 1: shape that a live action X Men could take, Because personally,
Speaker 1: I think this series shows it just perfectly encapsulates the
Speaker 1: X Men feel, and the feel is like they're not heroes, really,
Speaker 1: they're outlaws, and I think that's gonna be a difficult
Speaker 1: thing maybe to capture. And you say soap opera, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a soap opera big time.
Speaker 6: I think it's it would have to work best if
Speaker 6: they do, and I think we all know they are.
Speaker 6: But a TV series it has to be that because
Speaker 6: a movie is just it's not enough too. It's just
Speaker 6: it's just not enough space. And I love that these
Speaker 6: episodes came out weekly because you had a chance to
Speaker 6: like sit with it and either if you're somebody who
Speaker 6: reads comments, you had a chance to you know, touch
Speaker 6: on some things and refresh or find out things that
Speaker 6: you didn't before. But I think, if anything, it proves
Speaker 6: that it can be done. But maybe TV is the
Speaker 6: best way to do it.
Speaker 4: We've talked about that before.
Speaker 3: How it if they did some kind of thing just
Speaker 3: called like exaviers and it just introduced.
Speaker 4: You to the the school and the soap opera, you know, cheers.
Speaker 4: Sometimes you want to go wear every mutant you know.
Speaker 3: But it makes sense like you could have essentially almost
Speaker 3: like it could work as an anthology series where you
Speaker 3: introduced different mutants. It could work as a slice of
Speaker 3: life drama way or at the school and you get
Speaker 3: to know everyone, and then once you bring out those
Speaker 3: big bombastic movies like a Storm movie, which is what
Speaker 3: they should do if they're not stupid, then you already
Speaker 3: know that interactions, you know the ways the character works.
Speaker 3: I think the fact they use Bastion makes me feel
Speaker 3: like they were probably given editorial esque edbts about which
Speaker 3: villains to use and which not to use because of
Speaker 3: the movies.
Speaker 4: Because I just feel like it was such a weird choice.
Speaker 3: I feel like they killed it, and I loved the
Speaker 3: way Bastian was presented. He's so campy, but like, who
Speaker 3: thought the bad guy was going to be bad? I
Speaker 3: also feel like the fact that they basically kept Wolverine
Speaker 3: as a side character is probably because of how important
Speaker 3: he's going to be in Deadpool and Wolverine and them
Speaker 3: not necessarily wanting to mess with that. But I also
Speaker 3: think hopefully they've learned some lessons about how important the
Speaker 3: character relationships are and the messes, because I think that's
Speaker 3: like the thing that people really want. They want morph
Speaker 3: turning into Gene and saying I love you, and everyone being.
Speaker 4: Like, ah, that's Wolf saying that's Wolverine, like what the fuck?
Speaker 3: And they want the Thrapple, they want the love Triangle.
Speaker 3: They want all that kind of messiness along with the
Speaker 3: powerful mute and stuff.
Speaker 4: Also less militarized.
Speaker 3: I think this show did that really well, like not
Speaker 3: the black leather suits, not working with the government, living
Speaker 3: that more anti heroic outlaw life which could pit them against,
Speaker 3: you know, the kind of milk toast Avengers that the
Speaker 3: MCU kind of established.
Speaker 1: That to me is the completion, because the more serious
Speaker 1: you get about Mutants and the X Men in the
Speaker 1: comics and wherever their stories can be found, the more
Speaker 1: you come to terms with the fact that the Avengers
Speaker 1: and quote unquote human superheroes just don't do enough. They
Speaker 1: don't get involved in the affairs of the mutant community
Speaker 1: when it comes to saving them, They're certainly not going
Speaker 1: to take a stand against human governments or powerful actors
Speaker 1: within the US government who are dedicated to mutant extermination.
Speaker 1: They're always going to be a day late and a
Speaker 1: dollar short. And it leads you to ask, like, well,
Speaker 1: what good are you if twenty million people can be
Speaker 1: wiped out on Genosha and the Avengers are just like
Speaker 1: on coffee break, then what are you guys doing?
Speaker 5: Like, what are you really doing?
Speaker 2: Real quick?
Speaker 6: As this asteroid is falling down and getting ready to
Speaker 6: hit the east? Cause like Peter Parker and Mary Jane
Speaker 6: are like standing outside of a radio. Just watch it
Speaker 6: on TV, Yes, watching it on TV, and I'm like,
Speaker 6: if you don't swing your web up there and get
Speaker 6: to doing something like where where is everyone?
Speaker 2: No one? No one was able to help. They're just like, well.
Speaker 5: Just doctor doctor, strangers doing surgery.
Speaker 2: It up a portal, like what you're doing?
Speaker 3: Seriously also as well, like couldn't you just yeah, open
Speaker 3: a pool and put them asteroid through it? Couldn't Spider
Speaker 3: Man make a giant web and it could just bounce off.
Speaker 3: We've seen him do that many times. I don't know
Speaker 3: it's almost like there's this weird kind of that's a
Speaker 3: mutant problem.
Speaker 2: Which is your problem.
Speaker 4: It's your problem, it's your problem.
Speaker 5: For sure. I think that is the stance.
Speaker 1: I think this Listen, Cap and the rest of the
Speaker 1: Avengers obviously.
Speaker 4: No better and our friendly you know, air.
Speaker 1: Quotes with mutants, know them well, understand that they're not
Speaker 1: what they're portrayed to be. But there's also a big
Speaker 1: incentive for Cap and the Avengers to be like, Okay,
Speaker 1: that's a mutant problem. They'll handle it, and they'll also
Speaker 1: be paying it as the bad guys when they handle it,
Speaker 1: and we'll just step aside and won't ever raise our
Speaker 1: voices about it, like that's fine, Like let's just let
Speaker 1: that take place. And I think that is a really
Speaker 1: complicated and cool, evocative, emotionally powerful kind of vibe to
Speaker 1: try and capture in live action. And I think it's
Speaker 1: also I think it's vital to the experience of mutants
Speaker 1: within Marvel stories. And I think it's also really hard
Speaker 1: because it makes the Avengers look bad.
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly will they will they commit?
Speaker 6: Okay, well, Alfree Winard already made them look bad when Alfrey.
Speaker 3: In just two minutes come on, I mean, Tony Stark
Speaker 3: is like a dunce. Let's be real, like he's in
Speaker 3: that meeting doing nothing looking like okay, speaking of that,
Speaker 3: before we let you go, who who's your favorite cameo?
Speaker 3: If we're gonna give like a six MALEI the Year
Speaker 3: Award aka favorite Cameo. We did get a lot of
Speaker 3: really good ones in this season, especially at the end
Speaker 3: of this episode. We got some funny on the war
Speaker 3: cameos too, So was there one that really made you
Speaker 3: like most excited or like, why is that person there?
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have.
Speaker 6: To go with Cap and that is only because Rogue,
Speaker 6: like through his shield like a frissy, said.
Speaker 2: Super soldier, go get it. And I enjoyed that.
Speaker 5: Go get it.
Speaker 4: That was fantastic.
Speaker 3: I liked Alpha Flight with Silock. I was like, sure,
Speaker 3: that's great. Also, I'm a dust stand so it was
Speaker 3: nice to see her on the wall. Magic Exodus, I.
Speaker 4: Guess he's alive before he died in Ganosha Jason, what
Speaker 4: was the cameo that made you well?
Speaker 5: You mentioned a lot.
Speaker 1: I love that we saw Exodus one of the you know,
Speaker 1: an Omega level guy and one of the most powerful
Speaker 1: mutans we have and he was just dancing.
Speaker 5: I think Boom Boom.
Speaker 1: I loved seeing Boom Boom. I love Boom Boom's energy,
Speaker 1: one of my favorites.
Speaker 5: And strong guy.
Speaker 1: Strong guy I like because he's a fun he's a simple,
Speaker 1: simple kind of guy.
Speaker 5: He's just strong, simple.
Speaker 3: I was a big fan. As soon as I saw Davil,
Speaker 3: I was like, Oh, that's cool. And then I saw
Speaker 3: that he was like fucking clothes lining looters and I
Speaker 3: was like, ah, you fucking caught like this, motherfucker, just
Speaker 3: get I have the asteroid.
Speaker 5: Well he's top of you. Yeah, but you didn't see that.
Speaker 1: Right after that, he handed them a card for for
Speaker 1: his law firm and said like, if you need something.
Speaker 4: Oh, this is.
Speaker 5: Hit up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh my god.
Speaker 5: Hit up Foggy and Murdoch and we could take care

Speaker 4: Hey, thanks, thank you, Thankstav.
Speaker 1: Welcome to another edition of the Omnibus, where Lord, analysis
Speaker 1: and understanding come together. Today Rosie is recommending us the
Speaker 1: best comics read if you loved X Men ninety seven,
Speaker 1: and she's also digging back into their relevance and the
Speaker 1: creators who made them.
Speaker 4: So if you've listened to Xtra Vision over the years.
Speaker 3: You'll know that we're huge X fans, no surprise is there,
Speaker 3: and that our formative years and comics fandom were shaped
Speaker 3: by these books.
Speaker 4: But we're also aware that it.
Speaker 3: Can be very overwhelming to take on sixty years of cannon.
Speaker 3: So now The X Men ninety seven has finished its
Speaker 3: first season and lots of folks are asking us what
Speaker 3: comics they should read, which you guys have been doing
Speaker 3: throughout the season. We are here to guide you through
Speaker 3: four of our must read picks oh five. One of
Speaker 3: them is a short one if you want to read
Speaker 3: something as the dust settles from season one.
Speaker 4: So we're beginning with.
Speaker 3: Giant sized X Men number one, Lemueen and Dave Cochran,
Speaker 3: which hits shelves in nineteen seventy five. It's one of
Speaker 3: the books that Jason and I first bonded over when
Speaker 3: I first did my audition for Vision and is arguably
Speaker 3: the single most important X Men book since the very
Speaker 3: first issue.
Speaker 4: So what makes it so important?
Speaker 3: Well, in nineteen seventy X Men sixty six became the
Speaker 3: last new issue of the failing book before it became
Speaker 3: a reprint title. It was five years later that Ween
Speaker 3: and Cockrum took on the iconic team, reimagining them as
Speaker 3: global heroes from around the world. Beginning with four new characters.
Speaker 3: There was Colossus from the Soviet Union, the Kenyan heroine Storm,
Speaker 3: German teleporter, night Crawler, and the superhuman aparche Thunderbird. Fighting
Speaker 3: alongside them were Banshee and Sunfire, who had recently been
Speaker 3: introduced in other comics, and a little known Incredible Hult
Speaker 3: character called Wolverine.
Speaker 2: Have You had of him?
Speaker 4: Might Have had of Him?
Speaker 3: In the vital issue, the original X Men have been
Speaker 3: kidnapped and taken to the island known as Krakoa, and
Speaker 3: the new team I needed to help rescue them. Aside
Speaker 3: from being an important issue in X history, it's a
Speaker 3: great jumping on point and revitalized the franchise, and in
Speaker 3: regards to X Men ninety seven specifically, it basically introduced
Speaker 3: many of the core characters that you know in love.
Speaker 3: Next up is X Men from the Ashes, which encompasses
Speaker 3: X Men one sixty eight to one seventy six, and
Speaker 3: the arc takes its name from the first trade paperback
Speaker 3: that collected it.
Speaker 4: It's also obviously.
Speaker 3: The inspiration for the New from the Ashes relaunch that
Speaker 3: we talked about in previously on. It tells a story
Speaker 3: of the X Men just as they returned from space
Speaker 3: and are dealing with the loss of Cyclops, who has
Speaker 3: gone back to his roots in Alaska. While there, he
Speaker 3: meets a beautiful young pilot named Madeline Pryor, who just
Speaker 3: so happens to look like his dearly departed wife, Jean
Speaker 3: Gray shocking. Representing the Lion's share of Paul Smith's time
Speaker 3: on the X Men working with Chris Claremont, this is
Speaker 3: a key arc for many reasons, not least Madeline Pryor
Speaker 3: rogue joins the X Men team and the infamous words
Speaker 3: Professor Xavier is a jerk. All of those moments were
Speaker 3: deeply influential on X Men ninety seven, and this arc
Speaker 3: featured not only Paul Smith, but iconic artist Walt Simonson
Speaker 3: on Uncanny X Men one seventy one and the beginning
Speaker 3: of John Remiter. June is long run on the series
Speaker 3: with issue Uncanny x Men one seventy six. It's also
Speaker 3: interesting to note that Smith's slick and clean style has
Speaker 3: clearly helped shape the visual landscape.
Speaker 4: Of the animated series.
Speaker 3: Plus we get to meet the Morlocks and Storm's iconic
Speaker 3: Punk Transformation, both things we got glimpses of in X
Speaker 3: Men ninety seven. Now our third pick is Inferno, which
Speaker 3: you've heard us talk about as we've covered the show,
Speaker 3: which stands as one of the earlier examples of a
Speaker 3: Superio crossover that cut into numerous ongoing series, meaning technically
Speaker 3: lots of issues count as being a part of it. However,
Speaker 3: that means you have two options. You can pick up
Speaker 3: the trade collections if you want to read every single issue,
Speaker 3: or you can just read Uncanny X Men two thirty
Speaker 3: nine to two forty three for the core story. This
Speaker 3: is a culmination of Maddi Pryor's story arc, featuring her
Speaker 3: becoming the Goblin Queen, who we talked quite extensively about.
Speaker 3: Cyclops left a while ago when Jean Gray returned and
Speaker 3: of course took Maddie's son Nathan with him, Boo his
Speaker 3: sister Tomorrow Tomorrow bad Dad behavior the X Men at
Speaker 3: Outlaws living in the Australian Outback, and in the time
Speaker 3: since Maddie's debut, mister Sinister has arrived in his campy
Speaker 3: cloak and has been made her primary antagonist. Episode three,
Speaker 3: Fire Made Flesh took heavily from this, giving us a
Speaker 3: mini Inferno. But in the comics, this was a sprawling
Speaker 3: story arc that had been bubbling for a long time. Notably,
Speaker 3: the X Men issues in Inferno are drawn by Mark Silvestri,
Speaker 3: one of the most influential ex artists of his time. Interestingly,
Speaker 3: what you won't see reflected on the show is the
Speaker 3: line up here, as nearly every character on the X
Speaker 3: team at this time in the eighties is someone who
Speaker 3: hasn't received significant screen time in X Men ninety seven.
Speaker 4: Now, this is our mini entry. Fatal Attractions is here
Speaker 4: for two reasons.
Speaker 3: It's where Magneto rips the Adamantium off Wolverine skeleton in
Speaker 3: one of the most iconic moments in X history, and
Speaker 3: it features everyone's baddest dad, Charles mind wiping Magneto, which
Speaker 3: you may have seen in the finale of X Men
Speaker 3: ninety seven. And that leads to the eventual Onslaught story arc,
Speaker 3: which we also talked about last week. Picking up on
Speaker 3: the rossover model pioneered by Inferno, this ran through multiple series,
Speaker 3: but only for one issue each, So the best way
Speaker 3: to read this is to get the collection from your
Speaker 3: favorite local comic shop, because otherwise it's pretty hard to follow.
Speaker 4: Our final choice.
Speaker 3: Is a comic that me and Jason loved dearly. E
Speaker 3: Is for Extinction, the first volume of Grant Morrison and
Speaker 3: Frank Quietly's New X Men series, which feels like a
Speaker 3: funny inclusion seeing, is actually debuted in two thousand and one,
Speaker 3: four years after X Men ninety seven is set. But
Speaker 3: remember the episode that broke the Internet?
Speaker 7: Yep.
Speaker 3: Episode five takes directly from this incredibly influential series that
Speaker 3: recast the X Men as rockstar celebrities living in a
Speaker 3: world that no longer hated and fears them. This ran
Speaker 3: through the renamed X Men series New x Men issues
Speaker 3: one fourteen to one sixteen, and for just three issues,
Speaker 3: it played a large role in shaping X Men ninety seven.
Speaker 3: Maddie and Scott's psychic Affair was adapted from these pages,
Speaker 3: though there he was cheating with Ma Frost. The three
Speaker 3: part season ender takes half its title from its pages,
Speaker 3: and the sentinel evolution and self repairing sentinels and sentience
Speaker 3: sentinels all come from this someone who isn't featured in
Speaker 3: X Men ninety seven, but who was recently confirmed as
Speaker 3: the main antagonist in the upcoming Deadpool movie is Charles's
Speaker 3: evil twin sister, Cassandra Nova, who made her debut in
Speaker 3: the fan favorite new X Men series.
Speaker 4: So there they are.
Speaker 3: Those are the comics you should read if you loved
Speaker 3: X Men ninety seven.
Speaker 1: We love to end our show with a series of
Speaker 1: fast moving segments. Today it's Who's Who, in which we
Speaker 1: will be naming our favorite X Men antagonists. Rosie, you
Speaker 1: got wool Baby.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm gonna go for like least favorite and more
Speaker 3: like weird. So I'm gonna go for Ice Scream, who
Speaker 3: was created by Alan Kopperberg in nineteen eighty three and
Speaker 3: only made one appearance in Obnoxio the Clown Number One,
Speaker 3: but did fight against the X Men, and he could
Speaker 3: turn himself into any flavor of ice cream. I still
Speaker 3: think of you often, ice Cream. I believe that you
Speaker 3: can be redeemed and come back and fight the X Man.
Speaker 4: Who's yours.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna select Robert Edward Kelly, former senator now President
Speaker 1: of the United States make America human again. He ran
Speaker 1: for office on a variety of anti mutant platforms.
Speaker 4: Surely has comeback.
Speaker 1: He's also got pretty strong ties to the hell Fire Club. Wait,
Speaker 1: till he finds out who runs the hell Fire Club,
Speaker 1: and now he's President the United States, he gets to
Speaker 1: tell Captain America when he can go take a piss,
Speaker 1: Robert Edward Kelly, You're President. Next week we'll be diving
Speaker 1: into the post apocalyptic nuclear waste with episodes about Fallout
Speaker 1: and Godzilla and don't forget. Tomorrow we'll have a very
Speaker 1: special bonus episode on the Fantastic The Funny not meaning
Speaker 1: to be funny, but really entertaining in its own way, Madam.
Speaker 4: Webb los Loss.
