“How many times must the scoundrel prove himself the hero before he believes it?” Gambit just proved it.
Period!!!
Legitimately
Remember it.
Yup!
it’s not just the greatest episode of the x-men animated series… it’s the greatest of the entire x-men franchise - the live action movies included! no x-men story did emotional damage like this episode, besides maybe Logan (2017). everything was perfect - the writing, the action, the animation. props to the 97 crew
I agree with you 100% this was true talented writing, animating everything it was perfect story telling and I am still in shock a day later and probably will be all week lol
It's one of the greatest episodes of TV EVER PERIOD.
I agree, the difference between the two is that I cried for the x men episode
Head of NR: hm, what sponsor should we use for this vide... Everyone: BETTERHELP!
Logan excluded, I agree.
The way Rogue spoke at the end was so heartbreaking
Yesss 😢she said what Wanda said to vision “I can’t feel you” 😭
Voice acting was phenomenal! I felt that! In my physical stomach organ.
@@jeromeduffy1565definitely felt her pain
Incredible voice acting.
She said the same thing Wanda said in WandaVision when she couldn’t feel Visions essence.
In chess, a gambit is a sacrifice to gain an advantage usually to protect and advance the queen. In this case Gambit made the ultimate sacrifice. A very poetic symbolism. A bittersweet moment. That is why this episode for me cuts deep and now you know why he is my favorite X-Men and even my favorite Marvel character of all time.
Wow great info! Thanks!
who is the queen?
@@mrso1656 who do you think?
Excellent read! Really makes the episode more poignant, which seems almost inconceivable.
@@mrso1656 Mutants are the "queen" Gambit sacrificed himself to save them
Gambit fought like a true X-Men… RIP 😭
He did and reminded us why he's Omega level
Cable is going back in time to save him. Remember there are multi verses. That's why the watcher was there to see this significant timeline.
@@RichardClark-pd6mgoh he definitely coming back! Can't leave us with no Gambit. No way Mon Amié
@@jmaurice72is Gambit Omega level...?
I will "remember it"
Remy: "The name's Gambit, Mon Ami... Remember It" Rouge: "I can't feel you.... " 😥
That is Rogue's line... I don't know what the color red has to do with anything.
*Rogue.
@@yotuel9064😂😂😂😂
That line reminded me of Wanda
Yes,he gave his iconic quote, wolverine is gonna be so proud!,and upset he wasn't there!
Storm “I can’t feel the wind”, Rogue “I can’t feel you…”, Me, I can’t feel anything anymore 😭
No, that’s sadness. You feel sad.
I don't want to feel like this anymore 😢
the weeknd: i cant feel my face when im w you....
This honestly might be the best piece of anything that the MCU has ever been involved in producing. It was like a combination of all the best parts of the love story of Wanda vision, the epic scale of infinity war, the multiversal connections of Loki, and the really genuinely incredibly character writing that X Men has always given us. I don’t remember the last time I watched something this good from Marvel. Amazing.
I agree with the sentiment but this isn’t the mcu
@@giosbizarreart9048maybe he meant to say Marvel
Agreed - incredible to do that in about a half an hour
When I tell you this episode WRECKED ME
Dude I saw this at like 11:00 last night. I wasn't able to sleep till like 3:00 because of my heart beating too fast from this
*us 😭 Like They really did that!
The way her voice breaks when she says "I can't feel you" 😭
You can say that again
Bro. Completely.
‘’The name’s Gambit mon ami, remember it’’ 😢 ‘’Sugar, I can’t feel you’’ 😭😢
Such a cold line
@@kevthepoetcold…
That was so deep😢
Final 10 min is the greatest adaptation of anything superhero related. Ever. Period.
hot take but kinda valid
avengers when captain america all alone is pretty awsome !
lmao I loved it too but let's calm down
This is up there with when cap caught the hammer and when the portals opened up to reunite everyone followed by "Avengers Assemble". Even the end of infinity war doesn't stack up to this.
@@therewillbenic lol I concur 👍🏽
It’s been 24 hours and I’m STILL hurt. What a MASTERPIECE of television
Rick was right. Time travel solutions are lazy .😅
I was shocked that Disney allowed all of that carnage and passion to happen but I LOVED it!!! Cyclops letting loose, Jean kissing Wolvie, Gambit's FULL attack, Magneto well...OMG it was AWESOME
Release the Channing Tatum cut!!!
Scott cheating on Jean for a whole month, and getting caught when he wanted to be comforted by Madeline takes the cake to me. "I want both of you."
There's all sorts of horror on Disney +
I was surprised to that they displayed all of that carnage but they have been not using wolverine in this season. I think Wolverine is going to get very very busy soon this season!
@@really-Now He said that he loved both of them and I get that, considering the circumstances, but he should have been upfront from the start. His sneakiness was the problem.
I have fallen in love with the X-Men all over again.
Lenore Zann really deserves an award for this episode. The delivery in that last line absolutely broke me.
Emma saw cyclops in madelyne's head ,and was like, " i got next!"😂.
Gambit is my favorite x men characters since childhood seeing him die felt like losing an old friend 😭💔 RIP.
same, I'm still hurt
I’m fucked up over it deadass.
Real
Same
Don't worry I have faith cable will save him
They better get a nomination for this episode. The shock from everything that happened on this episode reminded me of the Red Wedding from game of thrones
Rick was right. Time travel solutions are lazy .😅
Jean/ Madelyn in episode 2 says “He’s here!” And Wolverine reacts with apocalypse. Cable/ Nathan says “he’s coming!” And we get the apocalypse clip with him and cable in the opening credits… I calling it! Mr. Sinister is working for apocalypse!
Yup also was working for him in the original series
Gambit was always the coolest mutant. What a badass.
An ALL-TIME episode. Truly incredible 🤯🤯🔥🔥
Same im still crying 😢.
I sobbed!
I noticed The Watcher as well and thought how cool it was with how they placed the stars in his eyes to make it look like it was his eyes watching!
Watching or watering
It kinda look like cassandra nova too
@@eyhtwozed2606 I thought it was too but I feel like it would make more sense if it was the watcher expecially you can see the big collar around his cape but would be very interesting if it was CN!
wouldn't that mean it's a canon event so that's why Cable can't do anyhting to fix it ;_;
The posing for Rogue holding Gambit is straight from The Death of Superman
That’s the first thing I thought.
i think i’ve seen it in a lot of comics
And Batman holding Robin
The fact the kaiju Sentinal has three faces brings the Living Tribunal to mind.
Quintessons for me.
Or tri-sentinel, but that’s really specific and other than the head, the monstrosity (complement) bears no resemblance at all.
@@TimeCircleBlue"Guilty or innocent"
Winderbaum discussed said conditions in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, recalling, "Following the success of What If…?, when we were able to make more animated shows, [X-Men '97] was my first idea out of the box. And Kevin [Feige] was like, 'Alright, if we can get the [original] cast and we can get the song, let's do it.' And fortunately, we were able to do that."
I personally dont think magneto is dead. I think leech just disabled magneto's powers so the sentinel wouldnt be able to detect his mutant signature ,and therefore perceive him as being dead as a result of its attack.
I agree, I think that's what the rats are. Magneto and them being underground and seeing rats, till they get rescued. At least that's what I'm telling myself.
Same because in the comics the reader thought magneto died in the attack on genosha for several years this is exact how it going to playing out.
There definitely going back in time letting it play out or not but Gambit will live 🥲
@@nicholasgarrick8855 100%. At first, I totally thought magneto was dead.. And it fucked with me for a minute. Then I sat and thought for a bit, and after a re-watch I caught the rats and stuff and remembered the comics. But, I hadn't thought about the leech perspective, which makes perfect sense actually and explains why the sentinel didn't detect him, and I think you're spot on there!
That's not.. how that works 🫥
The “I can’t feel you” line had my jaw on the floor and my eyes full of tears. Noooo! Cable must fix this!!!
Gambit did not try to get impaled so he could blow up the Sentinel, you can tell by the look of surprise on his face when he gets hit. Once he got hit he used the opportunity to blow it up, but no way was his plan to get skewered
I don’t know it fit so well into his attack
Fireworks being cyan, yellow, and magenta Are also a callback to the original color schematics of comic book printers. 23:25
8:26 Glad to see Nightcrawler back. Hopefully he sticks around.
I bet this whole event convinced him to join the X-Men.
I'm hoping the same thing, he was part of the X-Men numerous times! I hope this is the event that convinces him to join the team! Like I'm straight up hoping he's in next week's Intro lineup... CAN YOU IMAGINE! The interest starts playing... CYCLOPS WOLVERINE ROGUE NIGHTCRAWLER JEAN GRAY MORPH MADELINE PRYOR
"I am the amazing nightcrawler!!" ❤️
He died.
@@Ryanthebrobdingnagian Gambit literally says “he’s alive”
This episode broke my heart. One of the greatest episodes of animated shows of all time
I have never gotten goosebumps from an animated show before. Then Gambit says "Remember it". Just incredible.
I been waiting for this. I’m still trying to process wtf happened 24 hours later😅😂🤦♂️
Saaaammeee😅
This episode really broke me. It's only halfway through the season. Makes me wonder how the next episodes will be. I can't wait but at the same time I don't think I'm ready.
Expectation: Happy childhood nostalgia. Reality: Post-COVID dystopia.
I'm a 41 year old dude, who grew up on the original show, literally sitting here crying watching this break down. How is this show so good?
“I can’t feel you” This scene broke my heart. 😢
Gambit went out like Ironman on Endgame. 🖤
I wouldnt be surprised we see radicalized cyclops he becomes a villain after these events. He lost his son ,the mother of his son who is the only person that understands whats he's going through with the absence of charles ,and seeing death of all the mutant on genosha i think cyclops may feel there is no peace with the human.
Honestly I feel like they have been building to it since episode 1.
I had to go on a walk after this episode… I was too emotional😂 Gambit is proved himself as a true hero
Gambit absolutely went out like a G!
Did anyone else feel symbolism in magneto falling with the Xavier statue being both of their dreams falling in that moment
The "I can't feel you line" really hits hard for anyone who's lost a loved one. That's a hard scene to watch.
We really have the X-MEN back in our weekly lives and THIS IS SO AWESOME 🎉
We will all surely REMEMBER this one!
Gambit went out with a bang
too soon 😢 lol
I do not think that Magneto was the orchestrator. He fights for mutants, not against them. Asteroid M was his dream and this is basically it. And he got trauma flashbacks from the events. This is the second genocide he has to live through. If he did survive though, I could see that as the final straw that breaks the camels back. He tried to be nice. He tried to do things Charles‘ way. But this is war. Whoever sent that Sentinel has to pay. And if it was a human all of humanity.
Holy hell. It’s been a long time since a cartoon made me cry. This went so hard.
"There is no love without sin. Love is best nurtured in what we forgive. " -- Nightcrawler Beautiful line. That ending was insane! One of the best of episodes of Marvel Television ever released! X-Men 97 might be my favorite thing Marvel Studios has ever done. Period.
Measured* but yeah I love that line
*measured in what we forgive
Gambit's cameo in Deadpool 3 will be 🔥 We need an open world X-Men game, like the Spider-Man's!
Idk how well that would fit for the X-Men, I feel like an RPG with simultaneous stories that you can choose one part of ala octopath traveler or pathologic is the best option
Channing Tatum would have owned as Gambit
When Rogue said “Sugar… I can’t feel you” after choosing Gambit over Magneto, I admittedly shed a tear instantly
Lucas Baini at @CamaraenMano pointed out another gruesome detail to Remy's death: When they arrive to Genosha, Magneto explicitly says Gambit insisted on going after hearing Rogue was invited to the gala. He really wasn't supossed to be there, but the love he felt for Rogue led him to death.
love and jealousy as he was suspecting things
This episode was by far the best one so far.
This episode was absolutely awesome and I do think that we could see Gambit coming back in season two as the Horseman of Death for Apocalypse, which he did become in the comics.
is this the last episode of this season?
@@mikewright3029 nope. We have a few more to go.
Can we all just appreciate the quality and level of animation. Really pays homage to the original but just a beautifully brilliant new level of quality
I haven’t been okay ever since this episode came out, some time travel shenanigans have to bring gambit back, I haven’t seen enough of him yet
0:03 this episode had me feeling like a rock sunk down to the ocean floor! It hit sooo hard !!! 😭😭😭
Gambit is dead but not for long they goin back In time to save my boy or ima finish Magnetos dream myself 😭🥲
The heart break in the end. 💔Emma Frost's "Is it about your dress?" line was so savage! Also Magneto just speaking the truth. "Yet so many nations let their leaders to be a terrorist!" Especially meaningful considering what's happening right now. It's so sad to see children and civilians gettting slaughtered, a to-be-recognized nation getting destroyed, a live genocide on tv. Truly heartbreaking.
So leeches power is like draining mutants power and you can see he is holding on to Magneto this could be why the Sentinel said “Mutant Eliminated” but he’s still alive
Even if leech did, then what would protect them from the laser? There still a couple seconds of this
@@user-gs1mg2ig3e I feel like there definitely deep into the caved ground impact made from the laser but I bet he still had a tight force field protecting them
The Watcher caught me by surprise. I even had to rewind to make sure I wasn't seeing things.
Same lol
Same!!
Yeah, me too
I’ve been waiting all day since yesterday for this 😢😢
Magneto would not sacrifice Mutant blood to force a war. He loved his kind.
Gambit has always been my favorite Xman. This one really hurt
you waited a whole day? I was looking for this recap for 30 hours!
Agreed! I needed someone to mourn with me a lot sooner!
I think it would be really cheap for Magneto to be behind all this. I think it could be Mister Sinister, or maybe Trask and Gyrich. Personally I think it would be too much of a cop-out for it to be a fellow mutant who's orchestrating all this.
It'd be garbage. Magneto scheming behind the scenes would be in character, yes. But him planning a GENOCIDE? AND HAVING PTSD FLASHBACKS TO ANOTHER GENOCIDE? Never.
Bastion in the comics he hybrid of Master Mold and Nimord.
if gambit didint sacrifice himself everyone would be dead.he is the main charecter. Rip
Those final moments were an absolute gut punch. Like holy shit!!!
"HE IS COMING" CABLE
Maybe Stryfe? 🤷🏽♂️
Or William Stryker
This episode isn’t just one of the best X-Men episodes ever but one of the best comic book episodes ever.
I love the X-Men Evolution story opening the Door for Inhumans. Destiny shows up for Mystique in an Apocalypse prophecy
Magneto was the one that got Mystique to keep the sentinel program going after Kelly pulled the plug, in WatX, just so he could look like their savior and turn them back on the humans.
I have been waiting for this video since the episode came out lol.
24:10 His eyes are glowing green, not blue, because he's facing the direction of the oncoming explosion. That's why he says he's sorry - he can directly see what's coming and knows he's too late.
Damit Eric you made me cry again! Others may come first, but you bring it BEST! ROCK ON...
Definitely one of the best episode so far. I watched it 3 times 😔
▪︎ 2:55 Good Heavens! ▪︎ At least Gambit went out with a bang. ▪︎15:33 I didn't realize that was Shaw until the credits, because he didn't look like Kevin Bacon. 😄 ▪︎ Magneto using the train as a whip was cool. ▪︎What a chilling ending.
Erics 0:21 reference of the Matrix was so good 😂, my favorite line
Why does he always call the original Iceman a “cloud”? He’s clearly a snowman. He didn’t have total control of his powers yet 😂
I love his snowman look
Gambit was my comfort character and now he is dead
He died like a badass though.
Beau DeMayo makes a cameo with one of the producers. Chris Potter the OG Gambit is now the voice of Cable. The Watcher Silhouette shows up at Genosha. The Sentinel destroying Genosha as you said is a nod to Cassandra Nova. Now when it comes to Apocalypse could that be Theo Games that could voice him.
Gambit and Magneto were always one of my favourite mutants, this chapter hit me like a truck
I definitely think Magneto and everyone he was protecting might be alive because we never saw the bodies. Everyone else who died, we actually saw. Idk how he did it, but Magneto is very cunning. They’re probably critically wounded, but I think they’re alive.
Definitely an upgrade from episode #4 - anyone else catch that En Sabah Nur reference 23:00 👃🩸
the shadow?
"Cloud version of Iceman"? Pretty sure he was a snowman.
I love your insights especially on this crazy episode! You made me get emotional all over again!! Professor X’s last words to Gambit got me 😢
I COULDN'T STOP CRYING YESTERDAY THIS AIN'T FAIR 😭
I purposely waited to watch the episode till this dropped so I could watch and immediately run here next! 😊
Smart!
"And then we see this interesting shot of Gambit and Nightcrawler fighting side by side, GAMBIT with sabers in each hand.." Are you sure about that?
OMG he made a mistake, get the pitchforks!!! 😂
@@superstevefly I’ve got the torch’s lit. We ride at dusk
@@tiggdaleI'm in. He called Tabitha Abigail as well.
I screamed out loud "noooo not Gambit" my favorite character of all time. What a heart wrencher. Cables gotta save the day. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE. I need it to happen.
*Interviewer to Cyclops* "I hear you're the power couple around here.." Me - There's literally no difficulty to that 😭
Ol' Magnet-toes would NOT sacrifice mutants for his cause.
It would be out of character for Magneto to be behind it. Even though he is a “villain” he has always sought to protect mutant lives. My money has been on Bastion since I spotted him in the photo with Forge.
Omg that episode was amazingly well done beside the end omg gambit had me in tears he definitely proved to be true hero of the X-men
Thank you for doing this breakdown, Eric. The positive energy in your breakdowns is much appreciated.
And we HAVE to mention Cap. America shield's apprears in the Marvel's video today!!!!!!
I've been waiting! this episode was so good
...I've never been left so shook from a piece of Marvel content!!! ...NOT EVEN ENDGAME!!!!
Damn gambits death felt so real and the ending “I can’t feel you” had me bawling 😢
Kitty Pryde remains unacceptably MIA.
