Been thinking about that X-Men series though and going through some questions. Is it going to be a direct continuation? Or we ignoring that horribly-animated last season? "Graduation Day" actually hit me in the feels with those last moments even the rest of the episode left a lot to be desired. Will it remain in the nineties or are we bringing in some of the bullshit stories post-turn of the century? How will it look? Is it just a complete reset? What characters that weren't featured in the original run will be presented, if at all? One of the biggest omissions that I can recall was Shadowcat. Like, what the hell? What say you?
|
Since it's specifically called 97', I imagine it will be a direct continuation, with the same jim lee inspired art style. It will likely look a lot cleaner around the edges.
As for content, they could adapt stuff like Fatal Attraction, X-Cutioner's Song, and Onslaught. Maybe even an Age of Apocalypse arc. Might be cool to see later stories like House of M and Messiah Complex adapted with 90's characters and settings. Shadowcat's omission was understandable as she really didn't feature at all in x-men comics at the time, outside of Excalibur, which was just barely an x-book. 90's was all about Jubilee. |
Jubilee? the vampire? :shifty:
|
For style, I imagine it will probably look like the new Animaniacs... you can see the old 90s designs, but the animation is smoother/rounder.
|
They had characters showing up out of context all the time. Psylocke was probably one of the worst cases along with the mutants in Skull Mesa. Shadowcat could've been squeezed in. Hell, Nightcrawler got some love and he was in the same boat as she was. Oh, and Rachel Summers needs to show up, too.

I thought she was no longer a vampire or something. Could be wrong.
|
Stopped reading Marvel Comics around the time she became one (unrelated)
|
i think she recently was unvamped

Other question about the series I've been pondering: will Rogue still make me feel funny in my pants? :shifty:
|
One other demand/expectation out of this show: if the first episode doesn't begin with a "PREVIOUSLY...ON X-MEN..." I will lose all faith in humanity.
|
voices will be key for me. hopefully they aren't too far off.

Choosing not to watch the trailer.
(Although I guess chances are like 100% they play it before Ghostbusters when I go see that) |
I'm hoping it'll help Marvel end 2021 on a high note.
|
out of respect for my boy lock jaw i'm putting this in spoiler tags
SPOILER: show anyway, looks pretty good. no way it lives up to the hype but it should be a good time regardless keen |
This is probably an unpopular opinion but I'm hoping that it isn't true that we're getting the Garfield and McGuire versions popping up here.

Sony announces that is working with Marvel for at least another 3 Spider-Man movies with Tom Holland

Hey. Here's the trailer for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

I'm only interested in Mordo being back and the Shuma-Gorrath inclusion. OK, if it's the same evil Strange from "What If...?", then I'm on board with that, too. Other than that, fuck this multiverse stuff.
|
Yeah it's quasi-exciting but what it really means is anything goes which will lead to the sloppiness even the DCEU is about to deal with.
|
multiverse is great. mag is wrong. this is the path to new x-men who have history premade. embrace it.
|
Dafne Keen said several times that she'd be X23/Wolverine in a heartbeat. Despite something like that being right up the princess factory's alley, there's not so much rumblings going on. In fact they ain't say a word about X-Men in a long time.
|
I'd rather they just start from scratch with X-Men if they ever get around to it. There's a lot that needs to be cleansed from my memory regarding the Fox movies, Dark Phoenix in particular.
|
Dafne Keen as Wolverine would work for me.

I read somewhere online that apparently they were gonna try and top Spider-Man: No Way Home with all the multiverse madness in this film. Rumours were that Hugh Jackson and Patrick Stewart were both going to make cameos as Wolverine/Professor X.
If that were the case, they could have shit loads of fan-service fun with this movie. |

^^^^ This would be great. |
Things I'd want done properly in any new X-Men movies:
A proper adaptation of Psylocke. She's a fucking good guy, for fuck's sake. A proper Rogue and Gambit romance. A story surrounding Genosha. That pitiful piece of shit in Dark Phoenix was a fucking joke. Polaris and Havok done right. Sinister. Apocalypse done right. |
i want rogue to ge her powers from captain marvel. fully strip danvers and really explore the story telling of that. theres a lot of legs there if done well.
|
I want Rogue to be black.
|
I've thought for a while that I'd like to see them try something different rather than the same x-men story we've seen already. Adapt the Wolverine and the X-men books where prof. X and Jean Grey are dead, and wolverine and kitty pride have taken over the school as headmaster. Great way to introduce some of the cooler new characters they've come out with over the years as students, while having some old favorites as teachers.
Plus that was just a really fun book that would work great on screen. |

maybe a variation on X men: Evolution. Its going to be hard because so much of the good stuff does not translate very well from paper to film and might work better on Disney+ with 10-episode arcs cumulating in a movie every 2 years to wrap things up and start another arc. First 10-20 episodes dealing with Krakoa (rehashing Giant size X men) with movie ending with the birth of the Phoenix

I just think Rogue would be a reasonable race swap since I always got a 'black woman vibe' from her. The exaggerated swagger of a black woman.
|
Hell if she was younger i could go with her being played by Rutina Wesley
|
I mean, she can be younger. But depending on much of the dynamics they're gonna retain Gambit would similarly need to be younger I guess.
Then again if they're launching a new sub-franchise it would be best to go with a generally younger cast all around except for ProfX and Mags. |

Mustafa Shakir for Bishop pls.
Would also be down for a Genosha story. I think X-Men 97 touched on it here and there, but not to the full extent. It was a HUGE society.... like tens of millions of mutants living in their own "society" or whatever, I thought. Could be interesting to see it from inception to destructive end. |
Just from a visual perspective there's a lot you can do with Genosha. Bringing to life this weird mix of a utopia and a dystopia and exploring the ins and outs of it would be interesting. The political and social themes are also there for the pickings. I couldn't believe it when I learned that the island Magneto and his followers inhabited in Dark Phoenix was supposed to be Genosha. Like, seriously? A bunch of fucking huts in the middle of nowhere was the best he could do?

Thumbs down just for the song alone.
|
powrr change was odd initially but on consideration Mr. Fantastic really doesnt need anything competing with him since that franchise has struggled so heavily in the past 15 years in the mainstream. its weird though.
|
I find it weird that she'd idolize Captain Marvel when she has spent most of her time off planet and relatively unknown. Unless she did get that famous from her one time with The Avengers or was on Earth for longer than previously revealed during the 5 year gap.
|
thats a fair point. character is pretty illogical in this world

https://i.imgur.com/x6B9uXQ.jpg https://i.imgur.com/JfPlMhw.jpg The biggest bullshit thing for me is that they pushed back The Marvels. :( |
starting to get a little burnt out on the mcu but I'm sure I'll still see a number of these
|
(I type that as I haven't seen Thor or most of the Disney + shows...)
|
We're getting into D list so its pretty understandable. X-Men will hopefully breathe some life into it
|
I was one of the only ones who liked The Eternals... disappointed at no sequel in sight... want the continuation of that story....
Was not expecting it to get a sequel by any means, but I would have liked it to.... |

I was hoping to see something that tied this phase together as it feels very disconnected/disjointed so glad to see it’s leading to something. Those open spots in Phase 6 also interesting. I’m interested in a lot of the stuff on the slate.

Oh, they start filming in October. I hope this finally brings Titanium Man into the fold.
|
Concerned about Fantastic Four and potentially X-men not showing up until phase 6. Feels like they might be introducing too much in one phase.
|
Logically Kang is going to open the door for these additions
|
Crazy that there’s two Avengers movies within 6 months of each other.
|
Seems like they are committed to that format now of no "small" or self contained Avengers movie like Age of Ultron..... just want to make another Infinity War/Endgame
|
Yeah I get that but 2 in 6 months are very close together.
|
If its a cliff hanger i get it
|
Gaimen and Buckingham finally finishing theirSilver Age arc on Miracleman, with the first issue coming in october.
It's being published by marvel. Makes me kind of worried about it, given how overly PC and "woke" they've been. |
Is this allen moore miracle man?
|
Yeah. Gaimen took over after issue 16, and then the whole thing ended on a big cliffhanger in issue 24 and was never finished.
|
Allan Moore isnt a writer you simply follow and the current marvel writing staff...well there's a reason manga sales in the US blow them out of the water. Demon slayer is moving 25 million units while comics as a whole are moving 15 mil. Its pretty telling.
|
Neil Gaimen isn't just any writer though. He did a very good job taking over the book. Some people even enjoy his issues a bit more. Moore was really laying the prose on thick in those books.
|
He was still adapting to the medium and developing his style. Which says something because Marvelman/Miracleman is still better than a lot of stuff coming out today. I'll have to check out the final product once they have them released as a set.
|
Oh most definitely. Moore's run on miracle man changed the industry. Just saying, if theres anyone who's on the same level it's Gaimen.
|
Fuck, I just read they're also planning on bringing Miracleman into the mainline marvel universe.
That could be really bad. Cause if he's going to be a part of the pg-13 universe, will they really give Gaimen the freedom to continue the book with the same tone and content it had before? |
Also seems super redundant and unnecessary. They already have the sentry who has the same powers and even almost the same backstory.
|
Yeeaaahhhhh most of mores works is best left in its own corner...but maybe it can work?
|
Very disappointed that Paul Rudd introduced a clip of Quantumania for the audience, and it wasn't just a clip from Mac and Me.
|
Shit dude, no one else I know knows the movie Mac and Me - wtf.
Outstanding. |
It’s a Paul Rudd gimmick when he would go on Conan.
He would always play the same clip from that movie instead of whatever movie he was promoting at the time. |

my son went nuts. he's been seeking out and has all but 2 "Deadpool x Old Man Logan" comics.
He's a deadpool collector. |
Im sure the film will be fun but i was really looking forward to moving on to a new iteration of wolverine
|
Have you read any interactions with Deadpool and Logan???
This will be a rom-com. |
Bros, but with Deadpool and Logan. Guess who's the top?
|
Deadpool/Wolverine and Deadpool/Spider-Man are great pairings. Still im wanting to move past Hugh Jackman and into the MCU version of the X-Men that we're hopefully moving towards.
Obviously Deadpool is not currently in the mainline universe but that will likely be changing in this film so its all well and good long term im just very ready to move forward with the X-Men IP. Its a slight shame that Jackman is returning post Logan. It was a great send off for his version. |
but the movie will take place pre-Logan maaaaaaaaaaan. "Time" in the MCU is a joke anyway.
STOP BEING SO META DESTOR!!! |
