X-Men ‘97 Coming to Disney+

I may have to actually watch this. Everyone’s raving about it. How much is Disney+ nowadays?

You could wait until the season is over, buy it for a month and binge watch it, then cancel. People do that with streaming services if there is only one show they want to watch. My kids and I like the Star Wars stuff too so I’m
in it for the long haul with the mouse. They get me every month.

I never watched the original series, and never been an x-men reader aside from a random issue here or there. I’m not following everything that’s going on, But I’m enjoying it nonetheless.

I had just finished rewatching the old series this week. I remember watching the first few seasons when I was growing up. I started watching the new series this week. I caught up with everything last night. It is awesome so far.

Yep, great episode and a good setup for next season.

Didn’t think it was long before we would see Apocalypse, got the X-Factor #6’s ready to go.

Excited for season 2! Season 1 was just AMAZING!!! Not super excited for Ahskani Cable… that was a bad era of Cable comics.

When they “disappeared in time” I started getting excited we were going to get some Age of Apocalypse episodes. Or when Magneto and Xavier were mentally connected and thing were going south, I thought here comes Onslaught. That will be cool. Not so much. The whole lost-in-time-and-need-to-find-the-way-back plot has never been one of my favorites but we’ll see how it goes. The show writers did a great job so I’m feeling like it will be ok after all.

I also thought that with all the Avengers cameos that keep popping up that we could get the X-men Vs Avengers mini-series, but seems less likely now.

Could still happen. First they needed to explain how the minds interact to deal w the imminent threat. That sets the stage for Onslaught. I hope it happens. Although personally the highlight for me already happened w Magneto telling the professor to shut up :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:.

Yikes! You had to know it was something really bad for Disney to fire the creator just before the series was going to launch.

Lots of websites/youtubers who used the controversy of his firing and feuling rage culture to get clicks with very little information got egg on their faces now.

Disney is a mess right now…Maybe the Russo bros can fix a few things but that will only go so far. There needs to be a shake up with the big heads who run the whole operation.

Having see this AD for draining Lymph fluid under a harassment discussion is so ironic. Being abused on multiple level …

I find it highly interesting that they didn’t make the reasons known out of the gate. They sure as hell had something to say when Gina Carano was fired.

Well, Gina’s firing was not the result of an internal investigation nor anything of a criminal nature. She made public comments so Disney was public about how her views were not aligned with theirs.

As for DeMayo, there are actual employees who are victims. I think that makes these two situations very different as far as what can be disclosed, how and when to disclose it to the public.
