Juggernaut! I've been hoping that we would see him. He's on my wish list of villains for this show, along with Mr. Sinister and Bastion (so obviously I'm very happy with how things are going)!
"X-Men '97 (Disney+)" Animated Series News & Discussion, Part 2 (Spoilers)
- Thread starter RoyalRubble
- Start date
I just find it amusing that Trask gets used here and Juggernaut hasn't even properly shown up this season
.
I find it stranger Magneto is still listed among the villains. A hint of what to expect from him going forward, or just promotional material not exactly accurate to how the show actually plays out.
Juggernaut could potentially show up once Xavier returns. I'm still hoping we see Quicksilver & Scarlet Witch in regards to Magneto.
Speaking of which, with the "don't mess with the Summers" tagline, before watching the new clip I was hoping Havok would be involved (he was also part of X-Factor alongside Pietro and Forge on the old show).

We still see him leading the villains in the intro every week. One thing I have been wondering...
It's complicated but do we even know that the Magneto in Bastion's captivity, who he's going to use for some evil purpose, isn't a clone like Joseph.
On that account, Juggernaut is also present on the show each week thanks to the intro.
I think Bastion is going to brainwash Magneto into attacking so he has justification for pushing the Prime Sentinels and war against Mutants.

Why am I getting more and more Fatal Attractions vibes for how things are going to shake out .

Yeah, you aren't the only one... as I've said previously (but only about two weeks ago -- I couldn't have seen this coming at the start of the season).Why am I getting more and more Fatal Attractions vibes for how things are going to shake out
Beau DeMayo recommended Pryde of the X-Men as homework for Episode 9. It's a real shame that Disney+ hasn't uploaded it, in a similar way to the retro Star Wars cartoons.
Wow, they really are scaling everybody else back to their 70's/80's costumes. And I guess in-universe they're just going back to stuff they used to wear
.Trish lives
!Wolverine looks straight out of the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon
.I'm guessing Roberto ditched Jubilee and she's ticked
.It all comes down to the X-Men needing to save the world
!
I wish Colossus was here... Love to see it though.
Dang, Rogue is still out of commission.
I wonder if there will be an in story reason to go retro.

I hope there will be, because to be honest, I don't like the Marvel Girl and 1970's Cyclops costumes. But that's just my personal feeling. I consider those costumes to be a step down from Jean and Scott's 90's costumes.

Amen to that. He was such an integral part of the '80s comic books.
I personally love the costumes, in context. I think my first ever exposure to Cyclops was a brief look at the Jim Lee costume but I really started loving the X-Men because of the Konami arcade game, which in turn was based on the Pryde pilot and featured those classic Cockrum/Byrne era looks. I think it looks so awesome in the hands of the right artist, and as part of that team aesthetic. Jim Lee improved on the costume so much, just as he did with Rogue, that it's hard to go back when it's not a retro situation. Lee's Cyclops, Rogue and Gambit are their iconic looks for me. It does make me wonder what the look of Season 2 will be like. I'll miss the Jim Lee look of the team.
As far as the Marvel Girl costume, I don't even like it much as the Cyclops costume but I just like it as part of the very specific period it's from. My favorite use of it was during the X-Men vs Imperial Guard battle on the moon during the Dark Phoenix Saga. It's one of my least favorite Jean costumes (Phoenix is the iconic one for me) but I do have fondness for it as sort of an emblem of Scott and Jean's young love.
My boy can never catch a real break.

The Marvel Girl look was worth it for letting Jean wear her hair down again .

I wasn't expecting a Stunt Dawgs reference in 2024.

The CSC Channels prior to 2017 were actually amazing. A shame it was all thrown under the bus.
