The guys (Kareem, Ken, and Pat) continue their review of the return of the X-Men animated series, X-Men ’97. Tangents include non-toxic responses, explaining psychic attacks, over-hiring for the Apocalypse, and more.
Show Notes
Welcome, fellow mutants and mutant-curious listeners! Grab your spandex, adjust your adamantium claws, and let’s dive into the latest episode of X-Men ’97. We’re serving up drama hotter than Magneto’s helmet in a sauna.
Title: “Remember It”
Plot Summary:
- The X-Men are still reeling from the Madelyne Pryor incident. Turns out, evil clones can really mess up your brunch plans.
- Cyclops and Jean’s marriage? It’s like a mutant soap opera. Imagine Dr. Phil counseling them: “So, Scott, how does it feel to be married to a telepathic phoenix who occasionally turns into an evil clone?”
Wolverine, our brooding hero, joins the love triangle. Jean and Logan share a kiss, and Logan’s expression says, “I’ve survived wars, but this? This is my true battle.”- Rogue faces the ultimate dilemma: Magneto or Gambit? It’s like choosing between a metal-bending bad boy and a Cajun charmer. Spoiler alert: She picks both and invents a new dance move called the “Magnetic Shuffle.”
Highlights and Low Blows:
- Magneto’s Dance Moves: In a surprise twist, Magneto reveals his secret passion for ’90s dance crazes. His hand dance with Rogue during the climactic ball scene? Iconic. Mutants and rhythm—what a combo!
- Rogue’s Inner Monologue: “Should I date the guy who can control metal or the one who can light up a room with his accent? Decisions, decisions.” Rogue, girl, we feel you.
Verdict:
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 mutant mimosa glasses.
Why?: The episode delivers heart, humor, and more twists than Mystique at a yoga class. Plus, the ’90s soundtrack? Nailed it. (Ace of Base, we see you.)
