▸ The X Men '97 Season 1 finale is almost here. So how will they wrap up the Mister Sinister and Bastion storylines? Many people are saying with the arrival of Onslaught, but I'm not so sure it will start that way. Instead, I think we will see one of the X-Men's most powerful adversaries...and his NEW Four Horsemen.

The bigger thing people are overlooking is that the Onslaught saga originally lead into Heroes Reborn, which they could be updating to bring the X-Men into the MCU. Together with Secret Wars, we’re now heading for two stories that conclude with soft resets and it’s a perfect opportunity for them to repurpose Franklin’s pocket universe, and it would explain why Disney recently added TAS/97 to their Multiverse section on +. I’m kind of hopeful this is the direction they’ll go as we really don’t need yet another retelling of established stories both covered by TAS and the Fox films, and it would resolve the issue of characters who should have existed in the main continuity already (Magneto).

@dishansinghmehta8891 Ай бұрын

x men will come after secret wars in mcu

@Outrack Ай бұрын

@@dishansinghmehta8891 That's exactly my point. Secret Wars will close the multiverse saga and an Onslaught/Heroes Reborn story in '97 could see mutants "revived" into the mainline MCU continuity out of whatever pocket universe they end up in - otherwise we'll see both TAS and the MCU go through individual resets at roughly the same time that retain their own separate continuities, which is just kind of weird. Dropping mutants directly into the MCU would also create the exact kind of chaos needed to set up Avengers vs X-Men.

@shaun10767 Ай бұрын

I thought theu said this was separate and not connected to the mcu

@Outrack Ай бұрын

@@shaun10767 DeMayo said that TAS is it's own thing, but Feige's also stated that there were considerations to add it to the MCU and as of last month it's officially a part of the Multiversal Saga (despite supposedly being set outside of it, as claimed). Disney is doing a lot of reshuffling with their MCU plans right now, so it isn't outside the realm of probability that they've changed their original plans - especially as 97's one of their most successful productions in recent memory.

@stevenwoods5787 Ай бұрын

at this point, im perfectly fine with leaving the xmen out the MCU. xmen97 is on par with early MCU and infinity war in quality but i dont trust them now to not fuck this up. im fine if going forward they used more animation and started reviving some of the old cartoons from the 90s

If there is one thing to understand with X-Men lore, is that whenever there is a change in the flow of Time there is always, Apocalypse. He is the inevitability, the always, the forever constant. Where there is a beginning, there is end. Apocalypse is the end game.

@SKy_the_Thunder Ай бұрын

Something I'd find intriguing is if they kept the 4th horseman a mystery through most of it, with Apocalypse only alluding to them being active. Only after some time we learn that he had used his influence over Mister Sinister to turn him into the Horseman of Pestilence, and had used his abilities to work towards a major plot point. That would cause the remaining X-Men to question this alliance with their former enemy, giving their enemies an opening to strike, so things can get _really_ desperate.

And Gambit was literally brought back from Death to kill people. Not to mention the vision Professor X had of Gambit as death.

The fourth horseman would be Cable. It makes sense, because Sinister controls him. Apocalypse could make a deal with Sinister or just simply attempt to take him. It's also kind of poetic.
