Rogue started out as a villain beating up a whole Avengers team. Not to mention, she was raised by two villains. Her killing Trask out of grief was not out of character for her.

Cap’s shield got yeeted and he just stood there like, “damnit… sigh…”

That was Rogue’s kick in Marvel vs Capcom

Love that they’re using a more obscure X-Men villain that most people aren’t familiar with.

Rogue being a villain before her time with the X-Men, especially one who has canonically killed people before, really shows off that darker side in this episode.

"Perhaps begging for your tolerance was our first mistake" is such a hard line. Theres no more begging. You either accept us, or you will get mopped up like the rest. Cyclops Was Right!

My jaw dropped when Trask dropped. Like, even though Kurt was shocked that Rogue dropped him, he didn't exactly leap out to save him himself either, nor did Jean. So shocking.

Everytime Nightcrawler speaks it's absolutely amazing......he's such a great character that doesn't get enough attention in the mainstream. And Rouge going on a rampage was both awesome and scary........they really showed off how strong she actually is and just how nerfed she was in the OG X-Men movies

Theo James' performance as Bastion has this terrifying calm to it. Every word feels practiced, measured, and malevolent.

According to one of the creators, the first few episodes were meant to invoke nostalgia and make us feel like kids again. But episodes 5 and on are akin to us experiencing 9/11, and being forced to grow up and see that the world isn't all that great. And they are doing an amazing job!

But Jean wiping Scott's tears away when he cries for Madelyn - priceless.

Here we go! I always watch the episode on my own upon release then the uncut with the homies then have to support on the KZfaq. Within 24 hours, I’ve seen the same episode 3 times 😂😂

i love how everyone was feeling all warm for Roberto's mom being accepting ... and then the other shoe drops. this show is just ... so real, so rich, so delicious. so. good.

Rogue looks great with Cap's shield, lol

I have to say, I love how they're using Morph to add our full dose of X-Men without having to narratively justify their presence.

I have never in my life trusted a single piece of technology as much as Bastion is trusting that collar in the last scene. One microsecond of failure and every nail holding the building together is going to be jostling for space inside his aorta. My iPhone could never.

“Get away from my young dad!” LOL

3:38 Rogue's finisher move from Marvel vs Capcom!! Now this, puts a smile on my face 😌

Great reaction video, guys! Operation Zero Tolerance has begun. Things are about to get very interesting, gents. And Cable will be the key. He's essentially John Connor for mutantkind. He has fought Sentinels the longest in this timeline. In fact, the original Summers meant to lead the mutants during the Summers's Rebellion was supposed to be Nathan Summers. Then they changed things.

Jubilee’s earrings are a riff on the London Underground logo, because one of the lines is called the Jubilee Line.

As someone who only really knew rogue from the movies… damn did they really not do her justice. This version (I guess the real version) is insanely fucking awesome and complicated

Rogue YEETED that shield 😂😂😂

Rogue flying over Mexico City (my home town) Never thought I’d see that ❤🇲🇽

Each episode is getting better and better and better, and I am so glad to be alive for this!

My kinda girl. Her name is Rogue for a reason.

Gyrich is probably not dead. Maybe like Trask, the way to activate the Prime Sentinel in a human is for them to die first.

If you want to learn more about Bastion read Operation Zero Tolerance. He as well is a big villain in the X-Force 2008 run.

The short-haired blonde was Gambit's wife, Belladonna.

In episode 4 there is a picture of Forge AND Bastian. So he's definitely going to show up to help.

Hector throughout the whole episode: "Oh, it's Bastion. Looks like Bastion. Bastion? Probably Bastion." Adam & Agustin: "So, who could it be? Apocalypse, maybe?" 😂😂😂

Bastion's been appearing in scenes all season. Just quick little blink-and-you'll-miss-it moments in the background (and foreground).

This whole series feels like a throwback to the pre-MCU era Marvel. Back when the Marvel trinity was Spider-Man, Wolverine and The Hulk

Rogue was fighting general Rosses hulkbusters in the beginning of the episode Captain america showing up here is setting up Avengers vs X-Men in the future of the show I hope we get to see the 90s animated versions of Iron Man, Spider-Man, hulk and ghost rider in future X-Men episodes

This show just keeps getting better and better! What an episode! "Bright Eyes" as an episode was fantastic, but now I'm super excited to see how this story continues going into the three-part finale! This finale arc for season one is titled "Tolerance is Extinction." I'm SO damn hyped for this ending to season one because the creative team said this is the BEST part of season 1, and this show has already been absolutely masterful so I just can't wait to dive head first into this three-part finale! Rogue was obviously a highlight this episode along with Cyclops and his interactions with the rest of the team after what happened in Genosha. Seeing the X-Men family so broken after the death of Gambit is some really powerful emotional stuff. Especially everything with Rouge. My heart aches for her because she's lost so much at this point. Her old family, her loves, her dreams, and her stability now that the X-Men are also emotionally destroyed. That scene where they comforted Rogue in Mexico genuinely made me tear up. I love this family. This is why the X-Men are my favorite comic book team. This show is just incredible because it knows how to convey everything the team/the world is feeling perfectly through our favorite characters. This is just incredible writing with this character work in this incredible show! This is Marvel at its absolute best! 9/10 episode this week! With another banger X-Men 97 episode and the Deadpool and the trailer, I think it's safe to say that it's been an awesome week for X-Men fans!

Definitely not "beyond the style." They always turn up the energy during action, especially in anime. The X-Men '97 storyboarders were explicitly clear that they got inspiration from the Capcom fighting games for this series since episode 1 with Cyclops' opening scene. That divekick and air roll were directly from X-Men vs Street Fighter.

14:55 The sign was VistaCorp. You can also see Stark, Hammer & Roxxon buildings in this part of the show.

Jay and Miles Xplain the X-Men is wonderful. So great to hear the shoutout. X-Men has been my jam since the original animated series, and that show did get me into X-Men comics. And this show feels like what it’s like to read current stuff.

Rogue Rogue….I’m here for it!!!!

The subtle fact that bastion put cold steel on magneto is so messed up

Angry Rogue don't need any fixin', sugah.

Rogue has no more F's to give.

I’ve read that Genosha was informed by the Pulse massacre. The “you killed the nice ones, I’m what’s left” is such a relatable response from survivors.

I would love that Bastion somehow makes Magneto goes full crazy, so Charles will need to enter his mind to placate him, and then the season finale is a hint of Onslaught dormant inside Charles' mind because of this.

I read somewhere that someone asked Beau DeMayo if there's going to be Spiderman. He said, we'll see. I'm really enjoying all the episodes. Also the Rogue smashing things in the beginning, done of those moves were from the video game

This series is amazing. We need a feature length animated movie of this series.

This show has been awesome! So many characters I didn’t know kw much or at all. So much so, I’ve pulled out my x-men encyclopedia to understand who is who. Can’t wait to see what the last 3 episodes have in store for us.

This series has me on the edge of my seat. I cannot wait for each new episode. it is so well done. Rogue was doing some moves from the marvel vs capcom game in this episode, lovely to see.

19:51 Nimrod's and Master Mold's conscience as one as a Prime Sentinel.

I luv the online comment that said Rogue threw the shield back to Wakanda 😅

Rouge's dive kick was in X-men vs Streetfighter and MvC2

Bastion is keeping Magneto alive, keeping tabs on Xavier, and Sentinels are involved. ARE WE GETTING ONSLAUGHT?!

I almost choked on my lunch when I think Adam say when Charles comes back to the ghetto😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

The best way to think about Bastion is as the next evolution of Nimrod. He was created when Nimrod was shoved through time and merged with a Master Mold. He lost his memories of being Nimrod and took on a human appearance. For a while, he lived as a human, but eventually his sentinel programming activated and he became the mutant hunter we know. Because of his various lineages, he's the most dangerous sentinel ever made. Because he's "descended" from Nimrod, he has all of Nimrod's powers. However, because he's "descended" from Master Mold, he has the drive to make more sentinels (like the one you saw Trask transform into here). And because he lived as a human, he understands human emotions and how to manipulate them.

Im ready for Onslaught!!!

True. Captain America can’t just show up in another country unless there is an outward threat. You risk an international incident or starting a war. When he went to Germany the war already existed. And any other mission he was working as a shield operative to contain a threat (hydra) avengers 2 and Capt 3 are good examples of this. However if no threat exist and he goes rogue or if an enemy is surrendering and he doesn’t give them due process it would not only be an internal incident but also a pr storm.

With the mention of Carol Danvers, we did get a little of her in the original animated series. We got flashbacks to the brutal origin of Rogue's strength and flight and the associated comatose "Jane Doe" and the whole fight for control of Rogue's body .... It would certainly be some heavy, but interesting, writing if they wanted to pick back up where they left off there. Seeing Cap here is another fun reminder of the original series happening before the whole live action different companies owning different characters problem ... We also saw flashbacks of Cap and Logan fighting nazis together in the old series. They have so many many places they could draw from, im excited tonsee what these last few episodes are.

I feel as though Bishop’s presence was one of the few major missteps this season As revealed in the first couple of episodes, Bishop is both a time traveler and has the ability to absorb and/or redirect energy-based attacks like the ones used by Sentinels Cue Genosha and Bishop has to somehow be made unavailable to relegate the threat of the Tri-Sentinel and just do a little time traveling to ensure Gambit isn’t a fatality

Bastion is all machine, Nimrod from the future fused with Master Mold. He looks human, but he's basically an X-Terminator.

the changing of the radio station, show Bastion ability to control technology.

I wish they never revealed Cap in the trailer from 2 weeks ago. That would’ve been one hell of a surprise.

Bastion is a merged Mastermold and Nimrod. He is a android never was human.

Can you imagine in the season finale went the X-Men goes face to face against Bastion and his Army of Hybrid Sentinels went all hope is lost then the suprise cameos enters like Deux Ex-Machina the X-Factor , Excalibur , Emma Frost, Bishop , Alpha Flight Spiderman and the Avengers came to their Aid. Endgame portals style Cyclops : this is end team we're all alone. Havoc : You're Not Alone Brother.. Captain America : AVENGERS!! ASSEMBLE!!

Apparently one of Bastion's powers is resurrecting people, so he might be the one to bring Gambit back.... as a human Sentinel. Also, the fact that Jean could sense Trask's mind still present after his transformation might set up the same thing happening to Gambit & them helping him break free (similar to when Gambit became the Horseman of Death for Apocalypse in the comics).

3:38 Those moves are 100% a reference to Marvel vs Capcom and I'm here for it!

Bastion was actually featured in one of the visions of the future in the epilogue of the last episode of X Men Evolution. Correction: It was Nimrod

ROGUE GOING ROGUE! 💚💛

there is panel of STARK INDUSTRIES XD

You three are excellent together. I am an X-Men newb so it’s been very helpful watching these breakdowns. Keep up the good work!

"This was a nice moment for once on this show!" Hehe, forgot what show he's watching?

You see that rider kick rogue did. That shit straight out of marvel vs capcom

Rogue did nothing wrong, I'm gonna defend her. Firstly, Trask desvered to die and secondly he was going to kill himself anyway so if anything she helped him. Plus they took Gambit from us so I fine with some humans dying. Also glad we are getting more Nightcrawler since he is one of my favorite characters in the X-men.

❤❤❤ love the reaction mix and talk about this episode. Rogue is being who she was meant to be unlike how the films depicted her. Also Bastion. Wow. Eric is alive! Why am I sensing a trap for Xavier 😮😮😮

I watched 3 other reactors say "I have no idea who this guy is" and I thought 'Hector will know'. I didn't think you'd tell me 2 seconds after seeing him! I should have though.

Rogues VA KILLED IT.

So Bastion installed in himself a FM transmitter and mp3 player just to screw with people before he kills them. Give him points for style.

Thunderbolt Ross!!! Rip William hurt 😢

I am so glad they are FINALLY doing my girl like the boss she is. I fell in love with X-Men as we all did as a kid and I always loved Rouge and her powers. I always wanted them lol. Also I think Gambit will be back as a 'HORSEMEN OF APOCALYSE' of DEATH

You killed those now you get me sounds close to the Hawkeye line Clint said in endgame when he spoke the yakuza boss about thanos

the way they made kurt look in 97 makes him look like hes always smiling even when he's sad about gambit's death

The Prime Sentinels have arrived. Imagine a world full of sleeper agents who look human ready to activate and decimate the mutant population. Bastion don't fuck around.

I really appreciate how much you guys know your comics! Def one of the most knowledgeable YT channels I’ve found keep up the great work!

So Baston is really Nimrod and if Professer X return people will think the X Men lied about him being dead and they could be in trouble that what Baston want

Rogue: *throws the shield* Steve: ... bruh

This show is much like the 2017 Ducktales. It takes things that we love (With 97 it’s the X-Men and Ducktales with The Duck Family) and not only makes us happy with nostalgia but are also able to tell there own story and on themes. This show has been a real fun time and I love it so much!

Seems like Bastion is planning to use Magneto as a tool to further elevate the conflict between humans and mutants. And with Xavier on his way, it's possible we get Onslaught.

28:31 Carol Danvers is in their world, but comatose in a hospital because Rogue absorbed too much out of her. You can see the episodes on the original series. Also there are clips here in youtube

I know it wasn’t this episode. But “call me chum in the water” is something i cant stop saying. I hopecwe see forge again soon

Bastion is a fusion with Master Mold and Nimrod.

18:46 I wouldn't say _"some of them,"_ it's more likely *_most_* of them, especially those that didn't join Xavier's school as a kid. Even Storm said in the original series that they all had dark pasts. As far as Rogue goes, she was introduced in the comics as a villain, and even in this show's storyline, she was trained by Mystique and a part of that villainous crew.

The Summers family tree alone looks like a box of old cords I’d find in my dad’s garage. How many kids does Scott have? Does Stryfe count? If Havoc & Madelyne have a kid, does Cable have a brothercousin?

Bastion's VA sounds so much like Arrow's Damien Dahrk I thought it was him until I found it wasn't

I love how they just threw Cap in like he's been in this series before, so casually 😂😂.

I like how “Mutations have changed from only emerging during “Extreme “ stress or during “Puberty “ to being present at birth!

So glad we're seeing on screen just how badass Rogue is and what she's capable of when pushed to her limits. I also agree that both Cap and Rogue were right in their words to each other.

Bastion and the Prime Sentinels are such a '90s reference, but I love how they've upgraded him. I think he's going to be revealed as Nimrod as well, just in disguise, Terminator style. That's the reference to him being one of the old villains, evolved. They're also introducing the Avengers and Magneto's alive. That makes me think of one 90's storyline: Onslaught. A quick primer: in the comics, Charles Xavier erased Magneto's mind after he ripped Wolverine's Adamantium from his skeleton. Nobody knew that this would cause Magneto's trauma to 'infect' Charles. Essentially, he developed a genocidal alter that tried to take over the body of Franklin Richards (the son of Reed and Sue Richards of the Fantastic 4, a kid mutant with godlike powers). The reason I think some version of this might happen, is that this results in a team up between the X-men, the Avengers and the Fantastic 4 that ends with the disappearance of the FF and the Avengers, who Franklin secretly transports to ALTERNATE REALITIES and can't remember the original timeline. This could explain why the X-men, Fantastic Four and Avengers haven't met before in the MCU: the Avengers we know are actually secretly survivors of the battle with Onslaught! Listen I know this sound WILD, but the only other reason I can think of for the Avengers being in this season is they're doing an X-men vs. Avengers thing. Onslaught it's the only way I can think of to introduce the FF and mutants into the MCU without retconning a whole bunch of things, which Marvel still might do.

The ending of this episode with Magneto and the Madman gave me "Criminal Minds" vibes....

❤😮🎉 hello boys once again glad to see you guys with new video. By the way very impressed. You manage to get out a heroes forged and a czechicans video. Very impressed.

Hector looks like he just won a backflip contest

What Rogue seen was the future sentenales they showed us in the opening who Bishop was fighting

"It was Bastion aaaaaall along…" 🎵
