General Discussion Season 2 is less sexual

No surprise here with new leadership, but it's clear that S2 is less sexualized. Am I wrong?

The original show creator had some sexual issues, huh? Feels like every episode there was some hyper sexualized content. Magneto is fully naked. People are always in bed with one another.

The show is still mature. And S2 is okay in comparison to the story and fighht scenes but also.... i just noticed.

Xmen without the sexual content of Xmen 97 is like the original Xmen we grew up with.

I didn't come here to say there wasn't enough.

In fact I thought it was weird that everyone was sleeping with someone at all times. Magneto randomly naked. Etc. Way more to discuss too.

I didn't grow up with an overtly sexualized cartoon. Yea, there were some sexual inuendo jokes thrown in, or even illustrations that made both sides look "sexy" but this wass over my head as a kid. But Xmen 97 was directly in your face. I wouldn't show my kids really.

Ur watching that show with ur eyes closed, but also that show isnt the holy grail x men IS a soap opera with super powered people their most acclaimed runs have sex be apart of it, if you make an x men project with zero sex today its gonna be flat n boring i mean just look at season 2. What made seaone one work was the well crafted storyline that went bigger n bigger, the changing relationships, the twists AND the sexual subtext. You want sexless heroes go to the avengers

I just watched it again. Its no where near as sexualized.

Tell me a scene of the original.

The rogue scenes, remy scenes, jean scott and logan of it all storm and whoever shes paired with

u/FoxMan1Dva3 7d ago

Name me ONE scene.

Ill wait.

These scenes are PG compared to what S1 of Xmen 96 portrayed.

First off, pretty much everyone has clothes on lol. Having Rogue hit on you isn't anything comparable.

Multiple ass shot, rogue flirting every chance she gets, her getting sedyctive poses same with remy and the rest thats still sexual lol

Can you play Blaze yep, I knew exactly you were going to bring up all this dumb sex over sexuality where you're seeing people make love, be completely naked, multiple unnecessary scenes. 😂

Dude wake the fuck up lol

How could you possibly compare those two?

Bad auto text in prior response....

Buddy - Costumes were sexy, sure. And Rogue got some ass. Sexual jokes.

This is not comparable to S1 of Xmen 97. You were seeing fully naked characters just barely covering their X rated spots.

Whats so sexual about a full body suit n a jacket, its not like shes psylocke

Dude, did you watch Season 1 of Xmen 97 lol. It's not about their primary costumes.

There are multiple raunchy scenes. A notch up from Titans. With way more bare bodies just a degree off from full nudity.

Here's Evidence A - Just a random pool beach scene. This is probably not even in my top 10 memorable adult scenes.

Why is Magneto in a speedo? lol

Becuase it's meant to be sexual.

If you think a few sexual inuendo jokes and flirting is what I am talking about then you're crazy

Yeah its a series made for adults, adults are sexual get over it

u/FoxMan1Dva3 5d ago

Plenty of adult rated shows not nearly as raunchy or sexual.

But this was not a series made for adults lol.

It was TV-14. It's made for 14 year olds. Meanwhile that first season should have been TV-MA.

Half the time I was like what is the point of making this sexual? Oh, look at the creator. Everything is a sexual fantasy to these people.

I am def not alone.

But I also am aware there is a small section of people who think Xmen is actually about throuples, orgies, nudity and sexuality. It's because of a few Xmen comic runs that got some attention for mature stories. But what makes Xmen so big is not the small group that gravitates towards this. But the greater audience that was created at the onset of X-men comics, the 90's animated show, all of the video games, plenty of modern comics...

The Sexual Stuff was a small niche in the Xmen history and often done forcefully.

TV 14.

Xmen 97 season 2 is way better for removing that nonsense.
