Morph trolling Sinister 😂

After all the MCU drama, the irony of Kang possibly showing up in X-M '97 next season cannot be overstated

The writing behind this show is exactly what live-action MCU needs, if they could channel what X'Men '97's writing has accomplished on the big screen, they'd be set. I felt goosebumps multiple times throughout the show, something very few things accomplish these days. Last I felt that in Marvel was Cap's "Avenger's Assemble" at the end of Endgame. Invincible has made me feel that too at times. More of this, Marvel!

Kang/Immortus is probably the safest bet to say who time displaced the X-Men since he already made an appearance in the "Beyond Good And Evil" story from season 4 of the original series.

I swear, Jonathan Majors’ image is used for everything. 😂

Apocalypse: “I am as far beyond mutant as they are beyond you. FOR I AM ETERNAL!!!”

Remember when people said the show would suck cause they compared the artstyle with the original, boy what fools they ended up being.

Red & Slim, can't believe it's getting adapted. Also love how Rob edited out 10 minutes of him yelling out I CALLED IT SON! at the beginning. Because he did. Now I better see Hulk as one of them!

I think the time displacement is a result of Bastion having the components of Cable's arm integrated. We saw him bodyslide during the fight, and the displacement occurs at about the area Asteroid M was previously in orbit during the Bastion fight

The effects color when Asteroid M gets warped into time...looks like purple and greenish color...that's KANG's colors....so I would guess it was KANG that was responsible for that.

Im just glad we are getting more Apocalypse. The Animated series and X-Men vs Street Fighter version of him was always my favourite.

Idk why but cyclops saying do what you do best...heal to logan, hit hard for me lol. Amazing show amazing episode.

Bastion is one of my new favorites, what a cool villain.

My God if they make Xmen '97 as graphic as the comics this show could be bigger than game of thrones

BRING BACK BEAU DEMAYO !!!

So basically, Rachel Summers raised her own brother until Scott and Jean show up in the future. I kinda like how the two siblings share a bond together.

Beau DeMayo laying the foundation to completely reneegize the Marvel Cinematic universe

All of the focus on Scott, Jean and Cables relationship has perfectly set up Styfe to be season 2's main villain.

Dude, with all the cameo characters in that last episode, I wouldn't be surprised if the big bad ended up being Kang, since he's already established in the MCU continuity, and is presumably easy enough for fans to recognize or connect the dots with. Also, does anyone else notice how Black Panther is T'Chaka, and not his son?

The purple and green blue energy that popped them away screamed Kang to me

Best series from Marvel yet, even better than infinity war and endgame.

The adventure of Cyclops and Phoenix run.

As soon as I saw Rogue with a white background and sand, my first thought was White Hot Room. The bird still calls to Jean after all. I like this better. Apocalypse's encounters with various modern heroes in his past have tempered his rage and made him more thoughtful as steward to his race, pushing mutants to greater heights. He sees them as his children and his children must always be strong! Also he's bringing back Gambit as Death so can't wait to see this!

I was saying Nathaniel RICHARDS for an hour in Warren's live stream, everyone ignored me lol

Once I saw they went back to Egypt I immediately thought Rama-tut (Kang). Especially since Immortus (Kang) was already featured in a prior episode messing with time.

Where is Logan in all of this time travelling

Encore! They went above and beyond with this cinematic treasure of a show. Bring on Apocalypse , the Four Horseman and Rama Tut.

The Season 1 Finale of *X-Men '97* was Super Awesome and Epic! Good thing the X-Men and Magneto survived, and they're all now traveled back in time, where Rogue, Nightcrawler, Beast, Professor Xavier and Magneto are in Ancient Egypt, and they all meet THE Soon-to-be Ultimate Marvel Villain himself: Apocalypse. Didn't see that one coming.

Most likely Rachel in Bishop's future takes Nate to the Askani future and gets stranded there raising him and heading the clan and that's how she gets displaced in 97 Universe

The final episode was awesome! Thanks Rob!

Your videos are The best man you break down stuff on a molecular level when it comes to comics thank you for that

Once again, great content brother!! You absolutely killed this breakdown!! Love it!!!

Thank you for all you do brother!

Just watched the episode was so good thanks for the timing rob ☺️

You are my go to for any comic book content! Big love bro from the UK X Men is the best show of 2024

I love Beasts reaction at the end.

You're overthinking it, it was a version of Apocalypse.

I’ve been waiting for this!

Bro yes thank you!!! You’re the GOAT for recaps, theories and explanations ever! Thank you for still doing tv and movie stuff 🎉🎉

Every villain just taking turns infecting Nathan lol

Awesome show

I seriously believe Rob has consulted on this show he is too on point with his "predictions".

Thank You bro, you literally answered all my questions for sure lol but yeah again I appreciate it. I just subscribed to your channel

No Onslaught, No problem! EPIC!!!

It might also be Immortus. He has " interfered" before in XMEN TAS.

Best way to square the circle between Apocalypse's powers as originally described, the Celestial alterations, and how they've been defined recently is that the alterations mainly taught him how to use his powers the most efficient way. He always had full control over all atoms in his body - but having an ability and knowing how to use it are two different things. Instinctually he figured out that he could change his size and somewhat alter his strength and durability, because those are the crudest ways to use that kind of power. But when he underwent enhancements with Celestial tech, the main effect it had on him was twofold: For one he gained a full understanding of how exactly his powers work, allowing him to be much more efficient at it. And the second is that during this process he also learned a lot about the technology he was melded with - enough that he can replicate parts of it at will, for things like energy beams, shields or other more complex powers that are more technological in nature. They basically implanted the knowledge of how to become a walking Celestial arsenal into him.

X-Men 97' is the best Disney/Marvel product that's been out in a long time

That Nathan isn't Cable that's Stryfe in the making. We're gonna get Stryfe and Apocalypse in season 2 trust me

Cyclops was in his feelings when he learned that cable was hurt

Dude, I love your laugh. It cracks me up 😂

Rob, since the X-Men are lost in time courtesy of Immortus/Rama-Tut the question is where are Wolverine and Morph? We did not see them in the post-credit scene where some of the Xmen are lost in the future and some in the past my theory is that: he and Morph have been lost in Bishop’s timeline, remember the 1992 X-Men Animated series in the episode "Days of Future Past" where a variant of Wolverine’s adamantine skeleton is being displayed in Forge's Lab, I'm sure the old variant Forge in Bishop’s timeline would bond the metal to our salvaging Wolverine!

How did Peter find MJ is the bigger question

I remember, REDD and SLYM, "The Adventures Of Cyclops & Phoenix", Limited Series from 1993 or 1994 ! 😍😍😍👌👌👌

Dude your set up it’s so epic!!!!

I agree that it might be Kang. We did see an cameo appearance of Immortus in the last season when Apocalypse stole the psychics

It's Kang. Beyond good and evil sets it up loosely, and that's why we ended up with all the weird stuff in 97. Basically the axis of time being reconstructed for Kangs purposes after bishop helped stop apocalypse

Loved it so much and like you Apocalypse is my favorite, would love to see an adaptation if the Rise of Apocalypse comic

lol! you are asking the real question there at the end. Who moved them through time is the thing my mind keeps looping back to! Getting to sleep tonight is gonna be a chore!

I think it's bastion. He took cables arm it had the time slider in it. And he fused it to himself

Something told me this was a Kang thing. Who the hell would have Apocalypse masked up and running?

Love you my guy.

Informative.

Still not over Gambit dude to soon

Rob ..you need to post some retractions 😂 X-men 97 have had you more wrong than anything. No onslaught..no feral Wolverine, No Cassandra Nova, etc X-Men 97 have keep everyone on their toes

Bro seeing Attilan on the moon just as a cool background was so cool because just the level of detail was so awesome

I just wanna see an animated Onslaught, from when i first saw him as the final Boss in MVC.

Yes. That finale was RAD. I think you're wrong. I think it was Bastion. He just demonstrated time travel/teleportation in the fight scene. On a side note, it is interesting that in many mutants, though they talk about the X gene, the deeper reasoning behind the mutant powers has to do with accessing another dimension. Colossus's metal form, Scott Summer's optic blasts, Nightcrawler's teleportation... etc have to do with another dimension. This is all metaphor. In our hologram, abilities and powers such as telepathy, healing etc come from tapping into other dimensions of reality. Astral plane for psychic abilities, quantum realms for holographic modification, healing from the etheric flows... X MEN are metaphor and one of the "Teachings" similar to the Greatest America Hero (80's TV show) GAH that demonstrates the functions of the human skin suit's "supernatural" abilities through the metaphor of the GAH super suit / outfit. The human skin suit is the "suit / outfit" of the GAH or the product of celestial civilizations process to develop new soul vessels for there and our incarnation into the Earth Plain.

Thank you

My thoughts are Apocalypse is the one who time displaced the X-men. His motive was in to make sure he was created in the first place. Almost like a grandfather paradox!

That was a crazy ass epsiode and ending to the first season! Im so ready for next season, lets gooooo!

"Let's talk about time travel." *internal screaming intensifies*

I was waiting for this explanation frfr

Beast ending with "Oh dear..." 😆🤣😂 I laughed.

OMG 😱😱😱 this was so good!!!

I didn't miss the mid-credits stinger, that's for sure.

i mean bastion did powerup using Cable’s arm thats tot the time cube, and he even body slided against rogue in the fight, wouldnt surprise me that he isnt dead and caused somehow the time jumps

It’s so cold how all of their actions and reality hopping is creating a paradox . They have to cross timelines to perpetuate events across all the time streams

Damn, great deep dive!

Thank you. The Dome was the one thing I could place.

Thank you that was the first thing I thought when I saw the ending shot in Egypt. 😂😂😂

Well thought out video. The points against it being Kang are the Apocalypse has been involved in his fair share of time shenanigans & Feige didn't want certain things in this first season of this amazing reboot. Also, Kang might still have that Majors part to it, even with it being a completely different voice actor - they might want to just keep separation from Kang at the moment. And if they do recast Kang, they'd STILL want to make sure he wasn't heavily involved in a non MCU property. But, there's room there for it to be Kang. Either way, they've got me intrigued after what I think was one of the best shows of the year, anywhere.

A huge shout out to Rob! He called Gambit being brought back as Death before anyone else..

Every since Wolverine said "who Apocalypse!" on Ep 2..... I've been rubbing my hands

That Heisenberg/Walter White cameo was the best!

Thanks for this Rob!

i like how the roster board at the end of the episode is a HUGE nod of the days of the future past cover. looks like (another) diffrent time lime.

This season finally rocked! It was big, it personal, and it kept some weird.

Rob, you are such a badass. Love your channel.

I caught the colors of Kang deleporting them through time.

Can’t wait for S2. It’s gonna be amazing.

You’ve been a little wrong so far in your predictions but you should’ve been right lol. Rob, we know too much about the source material and original stories but love the misdirection that the X97 is going.

Deadpool and the TVA, and love the backdrop art!

I kept thinking about the fact then when Bastion absorbed Cable's cybernetic arm, he also absorbed Cable's Time travel device. I don't think Bastion is dead, he maybe responsible somehow for the X-MEN to be scattered through time. If not him it would be Kang, but then the question is why divide up the X-MEN in those two time periods and also where did he put Wolverine, Storm and Morph?

those paintings behind you are cool as shit

Great video 6 always, Rob! Sidenote: why does Basion remind me of Baby Vegeta from Dragon Ball GT lol.

En Sabah Nur, The Greatest Mutant. So for season 2, we have Age of Apocalypse, and other stuff

Anyone else catch the Scarlet Witch “off world” poster Easter egg? Wonder what that means…🤔

You the best Rob

Climatic episode indeed. As always, Rob, brilliant correlation. Apocalypse did infect cable and thats key. And what about wolverine among others? Awesome recap, Rob. 💪🏾💪🏾💯💯🙏🏾🙏🏾

1:25 yup I have those comics 😎
