Once again, guys, we were right. 0:00:39.840 --> 0:00:43.080 We are recapping X Men ninety seven episode six, Danger 0:00:43.159 --> 0:00:44.520 dot e x E. 0:00:44.640 --> 0:00:46.879 If you are an online person, you will know that 0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:49.800 this means something bad is going to happen and we 0:00:49.800 --> 0:00:50.120 were right. 0:00:50.120 --> 0:00:52.000 But we're going to talk about what they included, what 0:00:52.000 --> 0:00:53.920 they didn't include from the comics, and how we feel 0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:54.640 coming out. 0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:58.720 Of this episode. But first, who Okay? 0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:01.920 So we begin and Charles is watching Magnus get killed 0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:05.080 by Apocalypse. It's heartbreaking. His eyes are wide. 0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:08.080 Magneto's iconic helmet falls to the ground. 0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:09.840 And just as Charles is about to be stamped on 0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:12.760 by Apocalypse, we learn he's actually in the Danger room, 0:01:13.120 --> 0:01:16.240 just rewatching his boyfriend's death again and again. 0:01:16.360 --> 0:01:19.039 Jason, I do not feel like this is healthy I 0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:20.399 was very worried. 0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:22.039 There should be there should be guardrails on this. 0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:24.240 Yes, there should be guardrails on a lot of things. 0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:26.480 As we will learn in the Danger Room, it quickly 0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:29.800 becomes clear that the relationship that the Danger Room and 0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:32.600 Charles have is pretty sassy, and that her own thoughts 0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:35.320 on how Charles should be processing grief are different than his. 0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:38.680 So the next time he runs it, she essentially like 0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:42.679 turns up the density on the training program and he 0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:46.240 almost gets stomped by the fake apocalypse until he begs 0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:48.520 her to stop, and we start to get a realization 0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:53.800 here that her safety protocols are evolving. Next, we jump 0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:57.400 to a scary ship where a bunch of hooded men 0:01:57.560 --> 0:02:01.320 are who we learn one of is Rever and striker 0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:05.200 Uttoh about to see the purifiers. This mutant hating piece 0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:07.600 of shit arrives on a boat. He's got his purifiers. 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:11.280 They have some kind of Vibranian mutant killing weapons. 0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:14.920 It seems that they're smuggling. Very interesting to me. 0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:17.760 This is a really cool sequence, really different kind of 0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:21.600 hinting at this kind of occult, weird, very hope Summer's 0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:24.880 ish kind of but like an inversion of it. And yeah, 0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:27.920 they're stopped by X Factors Polaris. She is ready to 0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:30.760 destroy the whole ship. And if you want those big 0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:34.240 action sequences that are gonna make you really love this show, 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:36.480 this is one of them. It's a container ship. She's 0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:40.000 throwing it up in the air. She's going crazy, and 0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:42.240 she's ready to explode the whole ship. Val Cooper is 0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:46.000 basically just like, please don't do this, like you're showboating, 0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:47.119 you're making us look bad. 0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:51.560 And also, how do you think this makes people think? 0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:56.080 Seeing as a your dad's magneto. So we get the 0:02:56.080 --> 0:03:01.200 confirmation again that magneto here is Lorna's far other at 0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:04.240 just like in some of the comics. And more importantly 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:06.400 for her right now though, is she's fired from X 0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:08.760 Factor and that's kind of good because she feels like, well, 0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:12.280 there's these anti mutant terrorists, I'm stopping them. Why are 0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:16.960 you controlling me and not them? So as she leaves, 0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:20.399 she rags on Alex aka Havoc, who I have to say, 0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:24.560 very disappointing behavior from him here. She's basically just like, 0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:27.000 remember when we were X men and we meant something 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:29.720 and we weren't just like government hound dogs. She like 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:33.480 fucking chasing kids, like remember that? And she leaves and 0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:36.840 she's like, guess what. Luckily, in this world there's always 0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:40.920 somewhere for lost mutants to go. Oh, the sun rises 0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:44.400 on the beautiful Charles Xavier's school for young child Soldiers 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:47.000 or gifted youngsters, whichever way you want to call it. 0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:52.880 We get, for a moment at least finally Headmaster Storm, 0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:55.960 which I was just like, oh my god, finally. 0:03:57.400 --> 0:03:57.920 Get by it. 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:00.800 We're gonna talk about this. There's a lot of breezing 0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:02.520 by here. And then. 0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:07.040 We see that Charles has this group of young mutants, 0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:12.360 including Quentin Choir. We also see Pennance. You know, he 0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:14.280 has them in the danger room. He's going to train 0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:17.640 them how to survive. It's very scary, and I gotta say, Charles, 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:20.159 I just don't feel like going in the sentient robot 0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:22.919 prison this soon after she was sassy to you is 0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:27.839 a good idea, but whatever. Anyway, Polaris shows up great, 0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:30.480 she's so happy to be there, but no one is there. 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:32.200 So I was like, oh my god, Charles is stuck 0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:33.600 in the danger room. How can he do this? 0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:37.360 But instead we see her have this kind of nostalgic 0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:40.520 wander around. She looks around her old place. She finds 0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:42.960 her room has not been changed. Charles told them not 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:44.880 to change it. We get photos here of her with 0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:47.560 other teammates, of her with habit, of her growing up 0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:50.680 in the X mansion, and I thought we were gonna 0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:52.599 get like a jump scare here with danger, but no, 0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:56.440 it's actually Beast, Gene and Scott, and it is this 0:04:56.480 --> 0:05:01.920 really nice reunion moment and they kind of say, hey, look, 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:03.440 you've got to go talk to Charles. I know you're 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:06.240 mad at him, but let's go and talk. And they 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:11.000 have this really beautiful, unexpectedly kind of peaceful tea sequence 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:13.880 which is so Charles Xavier, where they drink this beautiful 0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:18.520 teapot and they kind of talk about how she never 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:21.159 really knew Magneo. She doesn't know who Magnus was, she 0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:23.240 doesn't know what he was like as a father. Charles 0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:27.560 is really the person who raised her, and look, I just. 0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:30.839 I don't know, man. I'm just like, I'm not sure 0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:32.479 if I can do it. I don't know who I am. 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:35.799 And Charles's like, look, I'm going to Junosha, I gotta 0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:39.200 go think about my boyfriend's and more Storm's gonna be headmaster. 0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:42.880 Finally she's the right choice. And Polaris is like, well, 0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:44.280 do you think people are gonna care? Like, do you 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:46.440 think the kids are gonna be worried? Because you know, 0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:50.240 I was like blowing up terrorists on TV and it's 0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:51.080 kind of gone viral. 0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:54.640 And Charles is like, nah, Wolverine was their teacher, don't worry. 0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:57.400 He was like, they've seen it's people be murdered. That's 0:05:57.440 --> 0:06:00.000 definitely the implication that unfortune. 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:03.640 Just as Charles leaves, we join the students, oh, including Chamber, 0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:07.680 my fav Penance, quent in Choire in the Danger Room, 0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:11.720 where Wing, who we mentioned last week, is manipulated into 0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:14.880 essentially dying in the comics here is saved by a 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:18.599 little badass Bishop Storm Polari's kind of power team up. 0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:21.679 To bring him back to life. Really nice moment. 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:24.400 I love the Bishop Storm stuff here so fun and 0:06:24.440 --> 0:06:26.760 the Bishop Polari is stuff because they kind of play 0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:29.359 on how their powers can work together this episode in 0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:33.760 a really nice way. Soon, though, Bishop and Polaris are 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:38.920 fighting against danger because Charles is insane, like personal use 0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:42.800 of the Danger Room and specifically when he said I 0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:47.159 need to prepare the children for a world after Magneto, 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:50.640 he meant more like emotionally she is now like okay, 0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:53.440 well I guess that means apocalypse because she is sentient. 0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:57.719 And so she's locked down the entire school and she 0:06:57.920 --> 0:07:01.000 is trying to train them for apocalypses nightmare future. But 0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:04.800 it is really bad. Things are going very very badly. 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:06.440 She's manipulating Polaris. 0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:08.440 She's like, you're just like your dad. You want to 0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:10.280 be a goodie, but you're just a villain. 0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:14.960 And then we kind of see this great, incredible moment 0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:18.200 where we get to see Danger kind of emerge into 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:21.560 her humanoid kind of robot form out of all these 0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:25.480 pieces of you know, trash metal. I want to say, Jason, 0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:28.320 I think this is where the first big kind of 0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:32.160 deviation feels like they don't really lean into the whole. 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:37.720 Like Charles knew she was sentient, and I think, yeah, 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:39.440 there's a lot of changes there. 0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:43.280 So instead of following that route, we then see Danger 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:47.120 in her new form essentially head to Genosha to fight Charles. 0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:49.560 She's like, I'm sick of this guy. I gotta teach 0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:51.840 him if he wants to beat Apocalypse. This is what's coming. 0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:57.280 So Bishop and Polares head off to take on Danger 0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:03.360 and why on Genosha. Charles is basically there feeling emo. 0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:06.600 He's like, what would Magneto do? Gene and Scott and 0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:09.280 Beast are light laying flowers and they're kind of like, look, 0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:13.560 whatever happens, we'll follow you. And that is lucky because 0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:17.080 Dangeroum is about to arrive and she is fucking pissed 0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:18.920 at Charles and is ready to blow up the X 0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:21.720 Men and Genosha again. Every time Charles goes there gets 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:24.440 blown up. Let's toss to an ad break and we 0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:37.760 will be right back. Yeah, okay. 0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:39.280 So Danger arrives and. 0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:43.319 Gene and Scott pull a crazy like polyamory move which 0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:48.760 I've never seen before, where Gene manifests Wolverine's clause psychically 0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:53.239 and Scott shoots through them, creating kind of like multiple 0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:55.079 reflected optic blasts. 0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:59.000 That was really cool. That was crazy, right, That was 0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:03.199 like a Marvel video game move, Like I've never seen that, 0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:04.520 but that was cool me neither. 0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:06.319 And the best thing about it was they were kind 0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:09.840 of like the reason that they invented this move is 0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:10.840 because Danger. 0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:12.800 They go, oh my god, she knows all our moves, right, 0:09:12.800 --> 0:09:15.439 because the dangerom has been teaching them and then they 0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:17.000 go not this one, and I'm. 0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:18.880 Like, yeah, cause you motherfucking freaks and doing that share 0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:20.959 in the bedroom. The Danger Room does not know nothing 0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:23.960 about that, but you know what it worked. Danger Is 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:28.600 basically also very interestingly characterized her where she's just kind 0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:32.240 of terrorizing Chuck and we don't really know why, but 0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:35.080 it seems basically here that she's evolved simply to train 0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:38.360 him to survive no matter what, including from her own attacks. Right, 0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:41.160 Like it's like an extreme kind of like you know, 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:44.080 in Chucky those movies, it's like he wants to protect 0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:46.120 the kid and he kills people for it. This is 0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:48.640 kind of like a really extreme sci fi version of that. 0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:52.560 I feel, Yeah, I think that that her goal is 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:58.559 to get the X Men as warlike and powerful as 0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:02.000 possible so that they can di and themselves against apocalypse. 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:03.360 Yeah. 0:10:03.480 --> 0:10:06.800 Yeah, And this is a really interesting moment too, because 0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:09.520 it seems like things are, you know, going. 0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:12.440 Not too well, but Polaris appears. 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:16.040 We love Laura this big launa episode, and Dangers basically like, look, 0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:19.120 we're both her because our dad suck. Also their boyfriends like, 0:10:19.120 --> 0:10:21.000 what the fuck is that about? They are so focused 0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:23.280 on each other. They don't focus on us, but Polara's 0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:28.680 is not in any way buying it, and she kind 0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:32.480 of remembers all of the things that she's learned from 0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:36.520 Charles about her dad and about herself, and very interestingly 0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:41.360 to note here, Polaris has the same powers as her dad, 0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:43.559 which is very rare in the comics. She also has 0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:45.600 magnetic powers, which is one of the reasons that they 0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:48.160 became related, though that is not continued in most other 0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:51.560 mutant families. So she has these very rare metal powers 0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:56.040 and she uses them to take down to take down Danger, 0:10:56.240 --> 0:11:02.920 who explodes as she obviously says, Oh, Survival of. 0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:05.360 The Fittest and very scary. 0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:08.079 We think that's apocalypse and it seems like she's done, 0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:10.800 but no, she appears again, and this is when Charles 0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:11.720 does what he does best. 0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:16.440 He says, Hey, Lorna, you gotta do something extremely dangerous. 0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:19.800 You gotta harness all your powers, you gotta find all 0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:24.720 the electromagnetic energy in the atmosphere, and you gotta fucking 0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:26.360 explode Danger. 0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:28.040 And she's like, no, I can't control myself. I don't 0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:28.720 want to lose control. 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:31.280 And he's like, don't worry, I'm gonna psychically connect with you, 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:35.120 and then we are gonna make it so that you 0:11:35.200 --> 0:11:37.960 get your dear old dad and your brain and your 0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:39.920 heart and your soul, and you're gonna use his powers 0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:42.400 and embrace all of who you are. And she does it, 0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:45.680 and she destroys danger and saves the day and proves 0:11:45.720 --> 0:11:47.520 that she is a true X man. We also get 0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:51.360 really cool vision of her powers here and both her 0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:53.840 and Charles, because Charles has been talking throughout the episode 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:56.480 about how he really needs to connect with Magnus. He's 0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:58.400 hoping a part of him is still in his memory, 0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:01.800 which obviously we know could lead in certain ways that. 0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:06.920 Could lead to something clearly yeah, and he says He's like, oh, 0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:10.040 you know, I couldn't feel that before, but now, he says, 0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:13.360 after him and Lorna connected, she says, I feel a 0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:15.560 part of him inside me and Charles says I do too. 0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:18.880 So huge moment here and we finished the episode with it, 0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:23.040 even huger moment that was crazy to me, where essentially 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:26.200 Charles realizes he can no longer work in the United 0:12:26.200 --> 0:12:30.320 States with Valcoopa. They are too aggressive against mutants, So 0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:33.800 he is launching a new thing that is not a school. 0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:38.800 It is instead a corporation X Corp. On Genosha. You'll 0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:40.520 have heard of it if you like the comics. 0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:43.679 It's also an interesting statement right now on how it's 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:46.240 easier to be a corporation than, you know, a government entity. 0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:48.160 Seems like the government is not. 0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:50.720 Too happy about it, but Chuck has bigger issues because 0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:52.760 he can sense that apocalypse is rising. 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:55.160 We get this great moment here, guys. 0:12:55.240 --> 0:13:00.439 Where we see the team in ex corp in The Men, 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:03.920 the New X Men. They built it so quick. A 0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:05.760 lot of things are happening here. I don't know, maybe 0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:06.720 Polares did. 0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:08.800 It, but they launch it. 0:13:08.920 --> 0:13:11.440 And they also have incredible new suits inspired by the 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:14.040 frank quietly New X Men suits. Looks great to see 0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:16.880 them on screen, but also crazy. They got that together 0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:19.199 so fast. But it's okay because it had to happen 0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:23.240 fast because the moment they sit down, Charles consents the 0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:26.960 apocalypse is rising. He said it's coming apocalypse, and you 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:31.120 know what, he's actually right because we get what another 0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:32.160 We were right here, guys. 0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:34.079 We've been saying it for a long time. This will happens. 0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:36.520 When you read the comics, you get the magical arcane 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:39.920 law of the X Men. Uh, he's making a fourth 0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:42.640 horseman or a number one of his fourth horsemen. We 0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:44.520 don't know, but there's gonna be four of them, and 0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:47.080 this one is horribly familiar as we see the pink 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:50.360 cards begin to shine and his zombifide face appear. 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:54.120 Could it be heated? Is it he it is? It's gambit, 0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:58.640 he's back as one of Apocalypses four Horsemen. 0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:00.920 Take a quick break off, we read back to discuss 0:14:01.000 --> 0:14:18.400 this episode, and we're back. Okay, here's one thing that 0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:21.680 really stood out to me from this episode, which I 0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:31.640 think we have to say it is speeding past massive developments, world, huge. 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:36.360 Huge storyhocks being condensed into the all moments here. 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:40.360 So I think the one thing that really jumped out 0:14:40.400 --> 0:14:44.680 to me is Charles was a piece of shit over 0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:47.320 the course of not a piece of shit. Charles was 0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:52.200 an absent Fellows well, they all are. He was like, 0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:58.200 he was irretrievably naive in season one about the nature 0:14:58.240 --> 0:15:02.040 of the relationship between mutants and humans and what was 0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:08.280 possible in so far this season, And it's really just 0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:11.200 this episode because Charles has kind of been like, other 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:13.760 than witness his death, we haven't seen a lot from 0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:18.960 him Charles's kind of Charles is right right now. Charles 0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:20.960 is on the right side of history right now. And 0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:25.080 obviously a big change in that is you mentioned it 0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:31.520 changing the trigger for the formation of Danger from Charles. 0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:36.680 In the comics, the Danger Room is upgraded with shy 0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:41.840 our hard light technology and becomes sentient, and Charles knows it, 0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:46.160 and we've mentioned this and locks Danger away and refuses 0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:50.160 to acknowledge that it's alive, keeps it trapped, keeps it, 0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:52.360 keeps it in a state of imprisonment for a long 0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:55.040 time until it eventually kills the student and breaks down 0:15:55.080 --> 0:16:01.040 on it. So in this show, it's the constant confrontation 0:16:01.880 --> 0:16:08.760 with the true existential danger of apocalypse that triggers Danger 0:16:08.880 --> 0:16:12.080 into being like, you guys aren't going hard enough. You 0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:19.040 need to come alive and teach you all how to 0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:24.880 truly fight and defeat Apocalypse. Like it is Danger inspired 0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:29.880 to raise the X Men's game that breaks Danger out, 0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:34.920 and because of that, it takes a huge sin off 0:16:34.960 --> 0:16:40.680 of Charles Ller's resume, And we see Charles here grapple 0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:44.520 with the fact that the US government and the governments 0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:48.800 of the world are never going to really respect mutants 0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:53.640 unless we have a power base of our own that 0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:59.600 rivals there they particularly the US government in the West. 0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:05.480 Their respect for something rises in relation to its like 0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:10.520 ability to generate profit. Therefore, I'm going to create X 0:17:10.600 --> 0:17:17.720 corp As like this mutant Outreach corporation that also I'm 0:17:17.760 --> 0:17:21.000 guessing because they don't really flesh it out, but I'm 0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:24.680 guessing much like the Krakoa era in the comics, he's 0:17:24.720 --> 0:17:29.720 harnessing mutant power to create new drugs or create new 0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:33.240 technologies that he would then license to the world and 0:17:33.240 --> 0:17:35.879 and generate profits that he would then use to like 0:17:36.520 --> 0:17:39.680 invest in mutant kind, invest in protections for mutant kind, 0:17:39.720 --> 0:17:43.280 invest in you know, hearting the defenses of the ex 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:46.240 corp base, et cetera. And so you have to say, 0:17:46.280 --> 0:17:49.320 I think Charles's kind of Charles's on a heater right now. 0:17:49.400 --> 0:17:49.720 He is. 0:17:50.040 --> 0:17:53.720 Look, man, he he's a flawed player, we often say, 0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:55.720 very selfish, not going to cross. 0:17:55.520 --> 0:17:56.000 Him the bowl. 0:17:56.200 --> 0:17:59.120 But there they're fraud But in this case, currently he's 0:17:59.119 --> 0:18:02.760 on the op Jason, and that is the X men way, right, like. 0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:06.640 Magnesums among them are not who among them? 0:18:06.680 --> 0:18:08.720 Who is among us is not flawed? 0:18:08.760 --> 0:18:09.000 Do you know? 0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:12.960 I mean, like Logan is Logan was a former government 0:18:13.080 --> 0:18:16.159 assassin who has killed thousands of people probably over the 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:16.560 course of. 0:18:16.640 --> 0:18:19.560 Yeah, and also like four in the like civil war, 0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:20.400 probably killed a lot. 0:18:20.280 --> 0:18:23.800 Of people cyclops and gene loving parents, but not exactly 0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:28.320 like in the mix raising any with raising any of 0:18:28.359 --> 0:18:34.560 their children Polaris up five minutes ago was like a 0:18:34.600 --> 0:18:40.800 government government lackey hunting their own kind. Like, so they're all, 0:18:40.920 --> 0:18:45.120 they're all right, listen, this is it's a process where 0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:46.800 they're all trying to figure out like what the best 0:18:46.840 --> 0:18:51.080 way forward is. And and you know, I'm giving Charles 0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:54.320 grace even though we show we have brutally criticized him 0:18:54.320 --> 0:18:54.840 in the past. 0:18:54.960 --> 0:18:57.280 Sometimes you gotta say when a win is a win, 0:18:57.400 --> 0:19:00.560 you know, And obviously this is this is very us 0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:03.360 as comic book fans too. It's exciting for Charles Xavier 0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:05.720 fans because honestly, a lot of us are. 0:19:05.720 --> 0:19:06.719 Charles Xavier haters. 0:19:06.760 --> 0:19:08.920 You know, we've had Steph Williams on the show, comic writer, 0:19:09.040 --> 0:19:12.360 friend of the pod, very big Charles here, like we 0:19:12.800 --> 0:19:13.720 rag on him a lot. 0:19:13.800 --> 0:19:15.760 So this is actually a big win for Chuck. 0:19:16.200 --> 0:19:20.400 I think it's a nice reimagining, especially as we head 0:19:20.560 --> 0:19:24.200 into a space where we're gonna need like a leader 0:19:24.240 --> 0:19:26.919 you can root for, right, they couldn't do the danger 0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:29.240 stuff and then immediately say, oh, well, here's your Charles 0:19:29.240 --> 0:19:33.080 who's gonna lead X Corp. Which shall we talk about that, Jesson? 0:19:33.119 --> 0:19:35.480 Shall I talk a little bit about Xcorp in the comics? 0:19:35.520 --> 0:19:36.320 And kind of yeah. 0:19:36.359 --> 0:19:39.600 So there's a lot of Grant Morrison, a lord. 0:19:39.640 --> 0:19:41.400 Of Grant Morrison, and this special. 0:19:41.320 --> 0:19:43.520 Morrison meets Joss Whedon, right. 0:19:43.800 --> 0:19:47.000 Crazy crazy times that you know us twenty years ago. 0:19:47.040 --> 0:19:50.879 That's like the dream crossover, right, So X cop is 0:19:51.480 --> 0:19:54.159 introduced in New X Men, but it's introduced in an annual, 0:19:54.160 --> 0:19:56.960 which means that you know, Francis Lennolu one of the 0:19:56.960 --> 0:19:58.800 best to ever do it, and Grant Morrison are the 0:19:58.800 --> 0:19:59.600 ones who bring them in. 0:19:59.800 --> 0:20:01.800 And and this is very funny because this is something 0:20:01.800 --> 0:20:02.600 Grant likes to do. 0:20:02.680 --> 0:20:07.400 He essentially introduces like an internationalized version of a team. 0:20:07.480 --> 0:20:09.480 So he did it with later with Batman Inc. 0:20:09.640 --> 0:20:12.040 Right, and he did it here first with X Corp 0:20:12.400 --> 0:20:14.639 and JLA, right, which was probably the first place he 0:20:14.680 --> 0:20:19.560 did it. So here we get this idea where after 0:20:19.600 --> 0:20:22.600 basically coming out publicly as a mutant, which is kind 0:20:22.600 --> 0:20:25.639 of similar analogous here to him coming back to life 0:20:25.720 --> 0:20:26.720 at the end of season one. 0:20:27.040 --> 0:20:29.000 Charles basically starts X Corp. 0:20:28.880 --> 0:20:33.000 As a kind of mutant rights investigation organization, but that 0:20:33.119 --> 0:20:36.679 then becomes an international arm where he can have X 0:20:36.720 --> 0:20:38.960 Corps all over the world with different X men. So 0:20:39.000 --> 0:20:41.400 it's exactly like you said, Jason, and I do think 0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:46.680 the connection that you made were very interesting between how 0:20:46.720 --> 0:20:50.200 this could potentially link to Krocoa and how X Corp 0:20:50.320 --> 0:20:52.920 could be the face of the Krocohen drug market, the 0:20:53.000 --> 0:20:54.720 Crocohen plants, et cetera. 0:20:55.320 --> 0:20:58.320 I think what will happen, what has to happen, is 0:20:58.600 --> 0:21:03.919 X Corp will be destroyed somehow, and either by a 0:21:04.040 --> 0:21:07.840 No More Mutants style event or some. 0:21:08.119 --> 0:21:10.840 Like accumute and uprising like what happened after m. 0:21:10.840 --> 0:21:17.720 Day right, something like that that forces mutants, once they 0:21:17.840 --> 0:21:21.840 come back and once they're able to repopulate, to think 0:21:22.200 --> 0:21:25.479 much much much bigger, think nation state, not just like 0:21:25.520 --> 0:21:28.480 a corporate headquarters. And so I do think that we 0:21:28.520 --> 0:21:31.560 are evolving towards crooko Yeah. 0:21:31.400 --> 0:21:33.200 I think so too. I think that's what they're setting 0:21:33.280 --> 0:21:33.600 up here. 0:21:33.800 --> 0:21:35.800 We also kind of teased it when we talked a 0:21:35.840 --> 0:21:37.119 little bit about. 0:21:37.359 --> 0:21:39.680 Charles feeling Magneto in his brain. 0:21:39.800 --> 0:21:42.760 Oh yeah, let's talk a little bit about Onslaught, baby, 0:21:42.800 --> 0:21:44.160 because that's we've been teasing. 0:21:44.200 --> 0:21:45.280 We've been talking about this. 0:21:45.440 --> 0:21:47.960 I think you first bought it up at the end 0:21:48.000 --> 0:21:49.960 of season one when we were trying to work out 0:21:49.960 --> 0:21:52.920 where they were going then and now it is finally 0:21:52.960 --> 0:21:55.280
