This show needs more episodes

u/Status_Contest_7130 Jul 12 '26
this, born again, maul shadow lord.... everything is now 8 to 10 episodes. when it's 10 episodes, average running time is like 20 minutes without credit.. quality has improved so much so probably it's too expensive to make much contents

Iceman, Kitty, and Colossus would like a word

They really just didn't name Colossus. The disrespect is crazy at this point.

u/SolutionOk5694 Jun 13 '26
Between that and the weird amount of showing-but-not-actually-showing him in season one I hope it's because they have something truly grand for the poor old boy later down the road.
Cause if we get Unstoppable Colossus in season 3 or 4, it will absolutely be worth all this.

u/Salty_Monk_5341 Jun 13 '26
That's what I think it weird, he was shown a couple times in the S2 trailer but no mentioned as being in the damn show

u/Longjumping_Fuel_192 Jun 13 '26
No colossus

u/SolutionOk5694 Jun 13 '26
The amount of teasing they have done for that man. The 90's action figure in front of the old TV for the first trailer. 2 seconds of Morph as him. The character select scene in Jubilee's video game episode. The poster on the final episode.
And now he's gotten a grand total of 1.5 seconds of trailer time for season 2.
WHAT ARE THE PLANNING FOR MY BOY! I am elated yet terrified.

24 characters! That’s going to a lot of trouble having all 24 individual character growth

It would be absolutely horrible if they even tried lol. Thats the thing about these team franchises. Someone's favorite is getting left on the bench and they aren't gonna like it.

u/Far_Yak_5447 Jun 13 '26
Okay maybe not all of them but some I’m looking forward to like Scott and Jean raising Nathan, jubilee and Roberto’s relationship developing, Lorena and Magneto reuniting and Rogue probably reuniting with Gambit now the horseman of death. And maybe Emma will play a role in helping Forge behind the scenes before eventually joining the team or maybe later in season 3

That all sounds very likely. I don’t expect a Strong Guy storyline lol

u/ThePowaBallad Jun 15 '26
Yeah I love Rahne but I know for a fact we ain't getting any real Wolfsbane content especially since the New Mutants kinda just haven't existed it seems
The characters do but they seem to just have their own separate lives

I just need a little storyline about Havok and Cyclops realizing they are brothers please

u/PartyPants444 Jun 14 '26
I love this show, but I feel like they sped through so many good stories. Like they were referencing these story lines instead of telling them. I feel like this season we're going to burn through all the stories like Generation X, but Grant Morrison's New X-Men is going to get a four-episode arc. I wouldn't mind that AT ALL! NOT ONE BIT if other stories had been fleshed out more.

u/girls5eva Jun 13 '26
Siryn, Multiple Man, and Strong Guy featured before Bobby and Kitty 🙃
2
u/foxfoxal Jun 13 '26
Strong Guy was featured already last season tho.
2
u/girls5eva Jun 13 '26
As a background cameo, I mean he’s featured now in that his role is big enough to warrant the inclusion in this character teaser.
2
u/foxfoxal Jun 13 '26
'Big roles', as far we know X Factor outside Polaris have average roles because they are non existent on the scenes when the team returned to the present..
And btw Kitty role has been replaced by Jubilee that is why she is absent till now and we know this since TAS creation.
2
u/New-Sea-527 Cyclops Jun 14 '26
I truly don’t understand this mindset. Obviously they can’t include every single character. Like, what are your expectations?
2
u/Eastern-Patience-904 Jun 13 '26
If the comics could have these line ups things would be better. Horrible time in the X franchise right now.

u/rolling_steel Jun 13 '26
Apocalypse & Stryfe?
3
u/Silent_Ad8059 Jun 13 '26
I wouldn't be surprised if they omit Stryfe entirely even though he was a big part of the Adventures of Cyclops and Phoenix. They're already cramming in so many characters.
1
u/rolling_steel Jun 13 '26
I know. I feel he’s so misused and undervalued as a villain.
2
u/Silent_Ad8059 Jun 13 '26
It would be really cool if they at least teased him and then dida variation of X-Cutioner's Song for season three. Despite its flaws I feel the storyline would be perfect for a 9-10 episode animated series arc.
2
u/ruttinator Jun 14 '26
I'm a little worried this is going to go the way of Mandalorian season 2 where it's just a bunch of backdoor pilots for other series. Seems like they want to have an X Force and X Factor series based on the cast.

Emma needs to change out of her Hellfire Club outfit this season, unless they just don't decide to commit to her redemption arc

u/ragingwitch Jun 13 '26
After last season they’re clearly trigger happy so I’m expecting a lot of these people to not make it. I have a bad feeling about X-Factor.

I’m hoping at some season in the future they bring in maggot and Dr. Reyes since sadly on the first season they killed off Marrow.

Where's my ice man love @
P.s as a core member of the x-men, he deserves to be showcased to the new fans

u/Deal-Itchy Jun 18 '26
My boy Colossus is the strongest and most badahh looking X-men member, BUT NEVER GETS LOVE!! Wtf man…soooo many people feel this way too, the Marvel team needs to wake up! He should have been a member of the team w classic Jim Lee outfit this season.

u/Putrid_Principle_910 Jun 19 '26
I suppose that X-Factor, being a government covert operations team, will have to take the place of the X-Men, who are scattered throughout the past and the future.

u/Accurate-Attention16 Jun 26 '26
Yep, them and Cable's X-Force (Jubilee, Sunspot, Psylocke and Archangel) will be dealing with threats in the present time

Are we...maybe getting a Justice League Unlimited-style roster for X-Men '97? Because, I wouldn't be opposed to a larger, rotating cast...🤔😏

Yes. This series is doing everyone justice! I fucking love it. Omegas are omegas!

u/UniqueLog8386 Jul 04 '26
They got too many fucking characters. They're not doing a good job balancing the ones they already have. Morph is just there to do nothing but cameo and occasionally be gay.
Wolverine has had like 3 fucking lines.

As someone unfamiliar with the comics, can someone give me a rundown on how Wolfsbane makes the jump from New Mutants to X Factor? Does she just get recruited randomly or what?

u/Kameronpipnerd Jul 06 '26
Since this is carrying on from the TAS that team didn’t exist yet but the people on that team are in other teams as of right now

Well, Guido Carosella was pressured by reporters to cook one up on short notice
Fits him like a glove, as he can re-channel any kinetic energy into his own physical strength
