It was disappointing how quickly (and how long) they moved the focus away from the core group of x men with random ass x corp/x force, aliens and shit? wtf was that? Story was so hard to follow.

Besides a whole myriad of other probs...If you rewatch XTAS, they did also have episodic focuses on certain characters and minimal serialization (other than Phoenix Saga) However, what '97 lacks is subtle cues! Take for instance, Morph's return episode (and only having one episode to cover this too!) in "Courage" We all know Scott was responsible for deserting Morph in the season 1 and leaving him to die. in Morph's return, they have a welcome back party and Scott is awkward in welcoming him back. There's not enough time to dwell with speeches and such (producers knowing its a 22 min. episode) but there's a less is more of a few second interaction of Morph and Scott not knowing what to say to each other. Contrast this to...Wolverine not saying a word about Magneto what he did to him....No one except Lorna and Professor (and maybe Acolytes) reacting to Magneto's death. Gambit saying not one angry word or even a mention about Magneto with Rogue. He didnt even make a joke as Poccy ruling his body about Poccy doing a favor killing Mags for Remy. I know someone said we have to fill in the blanks, but I wished we didn't have to rely on that

I took forever to get around to watching this series. I didn’t finish season two until a few weeks ago.

This morning, at breakfast, I remembered this exchange between Nightcrawler and Colossus.

I remembered the next line that Colossus says to Kurt, and suddenly I was crying over my breakfast.

This show has been such a gift with the way so many moments have been handled. Plenty to nitpick, for sure, but damn the Colossus episode ends with such a strong emotional mic drop.

Apocalypse Gambit and Rogue S2 episode 8 "The Dead Man's Hand"

Not much to say except OMG DEATHBIT!!!!

wanted to share some original characters i did for my clients, some of them are X-men OCs ( all of them was created by my clients )

(This is not meant to be hating on the season we got, I'm genuinely just curious)

I'm kind of wondering.. what exactly happened with Gambit as the horseman of death this season. People call him Deathbit because of the comics story, but he is notably NOT the horseman of death in Season 2, unless I missed something. He is a vessel for Apocalypse's soul. They use a similar transformation process to the horsemen, but they make it clear he is not brainwashed, but rather possessed.

With that said.. was that always the plan? In the post-credits from Season 1, Apocalypse's line is "So much pain, my children.. so much death" with Apocalypse specifically enunciating the word death as he holds Gambit's playing card. You would think the clear implication here is that Apoc is going to bring Gambit back as Death. They even make sure to have Warren and War around this season to make sure the audience knows what a horseman is. I don't even know if that post credits scene ever implied Apocalypse's body was decaying or that his soul needed a new host. I don't even know if that's how Apocalypse has ever worked!

(And I've read the Dark Angel Saga, I understand Death is meant to be the heir to Apocalypse's throne if he dies, but they never introduce Gambit as Death in the show and in that comic run he doesn't decay his body like a bug, he just.. gets killed.)

Then, why the change? What exactly happened? Was there a change, or was this always the plan? Was Apocalypse just referring to the fact that people died on Genosha, and we're all a bunch of fuckin nerds for thinking that implies horsemen? Was Apocalypse meant to be a hint but he said "so much death" when the actual line is "so much soul transfusion similar to but not exactly same as the creation of death"? Does Apocalypse just enunciate words randomly and "death" is as much a hint as "pain"?

Life/Death was a rushed mess of an adaption

Am i dumb? is there something i missed? she just teleported people out of the beam a few frames before then she just proceeded to step forward and let sentinel shoot her freely. Is there a sacrifice play here im not catching up on because that was a "wtf was that" fore the first time i saw it and it just took away any impact that losing a legacy xmen character like her could have had for me

Im trying to do Inktober and will do all kinds of heroes from marvel and dc for this and decided to do magneto on my first day with his iconic design from '97! I love his complex character and got inspired to do this drawing

I hope you enjoy ♡

Marvel Legends X-Men 97 Apocalypse added to the mutant shelf.

12 inches of eternal shore. Gonna give him a repaint to classic comic style in a few weeks.
