What an episode! We're going to be doing another Lingering Questions episode tomorrow - so drop all your questions and thoughts in a reply here and we might discuss on tomorrow's show!
-
Infinity War parallels: (1) Cyclops pulled a Star-Lord, (2) Logan should’ve gone for the head
-
Cyclops doing a reverse call back with the "were you expecting black leather?" line was chef's kiss
-
"It doesn't matter... Madelyne fights with me today!" was just the closure we needed.
-
Cable doesn't use his powers often because he is constantly using them to keep the techno organic virus at bay.
-
Magneto's retort to charles in this episode reminded me of in dark Phoenix: "you're always sorry, Charles, and there's always a speech and nobody cares anymore"
-
Jean is Cable's Aunt, I don't know why everyone makes it complicated. Jean and Madelyne are twins the same way X-23 is Logan's daughter. From Cable's perspective, his dad hooked up with his aunt after his mom died.
-
No one stays dead in comics except uncle Ben and Bruce Wayne’s parents
-
THANK YOU SO MUCH for acknowledging that exchange between Storm and Jean! That Mind your Weather, and Weather your Mind line! COLD! Best line of the whole episode, followed by "SHUTUP"!
-
Maybe Jean saying “I love you” and then Scott’s mind cutting to red was the moment that the Phoenix Force took control of Jean’s body and Jean acknowledging that she won’t be able to mentally take back control any time soon.
-
First thing: X-Men 97 deserve an Emmy for: animation, music, voice talent, and the writing. So, so good Lingering Questions: Q1: Where do you think the Avengers are during all this? Q2: Did Cap recover his Shield? Q3: Could we see more fallout next episode? / Or we might see more characters enter this fight? Extra note: I am familiar with the comics, and know of Onslaught. But dang there are so many moving parts to this. Still processing episode 9
-
The writing team for this show needs to do the dialog for Dr.Doom for when he takes over the world.
-
Rogue wearing Gambits jacket
-
Magnetos "shut up" was FANTASTIC
-
Also you Forgot Forge has a photo with Bastion so they know each other.
-
Storm knows Bastion is not a mutant. She was there when Charles told them when he went to see him. Then Forge and Beast talking about him being a technopath.
-
I know Wolverine shouldn't have been there to begin with, but who else was gonna actually make the call to kill magneto? Xavier was ready to puppet him temporarily, but unless he was gonna do it forever, it doesn't solve the problem
-
Brandon talking about his disappointment in Prof X, I think was de mayo's plan all along. 97 is about Magneto being the one we all eventually agree with.
-
Magnetos line to Rouge in episode 5 was a bit toxic but Gatt dayum was it beautifully said. “Loving you makes broken men whole, so that even as you deny us, our heartache is not in vain.”
-
They're not doing Onslaught in the finale. They will reveal him in season 2 probably around episode 5. They need Xavier to go dark first.
