  • Everyone though that the Hellfire Club White Queen and Black Queen showed too much skin, then Madelyne turned evil and said HOLD MY BEER.
  • @WhiteRaven696
    Madelyne 👏🏽 Did 👏🏽 Nothing 👏🏽 Wrong 👏🏽 Screw Cyclops.
  • @Dhampir101980
    Thank Goodness X-men 97 trimmed all this down to an understandable single focused, emotionally intimate episode.
  • So the Phoenix Force "cloned" Jean, and that clone turned into the evil Dark Phoenix. And Mr. Sinister cloned Jean, and that clone turned I to the evil Goblin Queen. It seems to me like cloning Jean is a bad idea, unless you want to create a powerful super-villain. My suggestion for a future video is the Alpha Flight member SASQUATCH. As always, MAKE MINE THE MERRY MARVELITE!!!!
  • @marvelgirl8198
    Would love more Madelyne related content! More X-Men Content! Please
  • @dfailsthemost
    This is brutal. It's like a waking nightmare version of a bad breakup.
  • Wow that was so much more fleshed out and unhinged than what I imagined after x-men 97
  • @wtfrocks8663
    This storyline was pretty hard to keep up with, for my 14 year old brain, when it originally hit the shelves. 40 years later, the story holds peoples attention. There were only about 6 people in my school that knew comic book stores existed. Now millions of people are thirsting for comic book stories. F'ing Crazy!
  • @PimpfDM92
    Thanks for bringing back this background story of Madelyne , how crazy Sinister scheduled this from day one, Poor Scott and poor Maddie having to go through all that because of a madman. It. Is a nice time to introduce the character with the X-men 97 launch. I have to admit from those first 3 episodes I like more the treatment they made of Maddie and all the background story in the tv show, less “tragic” somehow and Madelyne comes out as a good person in the end . Can’t wait to see Sinister coming soon to the X-men 97show. Great video and hope you make a part 2 with Madelyne new involvement again with Havok, Inferno and Chasm ! Good job 👍🏼
  • @uxm4life94
    Great video as always. If there is a part 2 the Nate Grey/Madelyne relationship sure gets creepy!
  • Is it wrong that I really want MM to do a video on Sauron? For 2 reasons: 1: I’m genuinely curious about the character. 2: Because MM has stated a few times that he likes bringing him up and I thought he would appreciate the opportunity. TL;DR: I just wanted to be nice and thought the idea would bring a smile to your face.😊
  • @raypaz2947
    For sure part 2. Let’s see how it went with Maddie. I know but I like how well you are able to edit down the story to specific characters. Great job.
  • @Sevenfeet0
    Good video. I read all the X-men comics in college during the 1980s but stopped right before Madelyn Pryor was introduced. This summary makes a lot more sense how the character’s arc originally formed, as well as why she was called Madelyn Pryor or the Goblin Queen in the first place, which seems kind of random choices in X-Men ‘97.
