Even though I was a kid at the time The 90's X-Men was a Political Cartoon but wasn't so complicated you couldn't understand it. I'll always appreciate the show for that. 🙇🏿♂️
It had such timeless messages like don’t be a Nazi
@@freddysw Apparently that is still something that needs to be told.
@@SilortheBlade (In the voice of Hank Mccoy) I would think that tackling LGBT issues would be pertinent for this newer age, but it appears that in the shadow of "MAGA', that 'racism is bad mmkay' is still worth some doubling down on.
@@lukeferguson3405MAGA (Mutants are godless abomination." Trump: "I will make America safe for the normal people of America, not the freaks!"
@@lukeferguson3405 Hank McCoy wouldn't be that much of a woke idiot, he's smarter then that. He would likely quote Churchill "If your not liberal in your 20s your heartless, if your not conservative in the your 40s your brainless"
Jubilee: "It'll be just like old times"
Best. Marvel cartoon. EVER.
Facts
I approve
Apocalypse came back in the episode “The Fifth Horseman” and used Fabian Cortez’ body as a vessel to be his new body when he came back from the astral plane.
I want Cyclops to meet up with Havok and realize they’re brothers. It was one of my biggest complaints of the original series
Yeah same And if they wanted similar stories to do as the original show they could catch up with Corsair and and introduce and battle Vulcan (Gabriel Summers) But yes I definitely want to see Cyclops and Havok find out they’re brothers it was so weird that it wasn’t in the original considering there was a whole episode about Cyclops finding out Corsair is his father and I think the relationship between Scott and Alex is more important than Corsair
There literally was an episode of the original series exactly like that.
@@heartlesshorseman4202 no they meet but never acknowledge that they are related
I ALWAYS hated that they didn't follow up on that. They met, they were immune to each other's powers, and...that was it. Such a letdown.
@@execuwutie_YTfrom what I remember they shit each other and nothing happened they both had the 🤨 face
What do I want from X-MEN '97? More Nightcrawler and Colossus! And I don't mean a few cameo appearances, either. Those two were prominent members of the team, and they still should be!
One of the annoying things about the original show was that the team never changed And that’s one of the great things about X-Men Evolution as that team changed so much as the show went on and students attended the institute where in X-Men TAS there’s no students it’s just Jubilee and a bunch of adults living at the school I would love to see a version of Kitty Pryde introduced it probably won’t happen
@@JOVONOI guess it will most likely depend on how Season One goes. If we're lucky, she might be recruited in Season Two.
Colossus was always my favorite. I didn't understand what his power was supposed to be, but I played him in the arcade game for years. I never understood why he was excluded from the movies/shows.
I agree, one thing I loved about X-men Evolution was that Nightcrawler was a part of the team from the start.
I always respect that X-men showed that you still matter even when different ❤❤❤
I've been saying since the 90s that the Jean that returned after the Dark Phoenix was really Madelyne Pryor, Jean's clone. Just like in the comics. Now that she's gonna have a baby I'm sure of it.
She had the baby
Cyclops unknowingly met his brother Havok in the original series, without realizing he did. In the Iceman episode, the X-Men met up with the team X-Factor, and they had a little skirmish. Couple this with Corsair, their father and leader of the Starjammers, and we have a family reunion. Nightcrawler discovered his birth mother was Mystique, and that she gave him up dumping him in a river due to his outward appearance of being a mutant. He prayed that he has the strength to forgive her, and in a last ditch effort, she saved his life. I want to see more of this. Psylocke was introduced and tried to steal from Archangel. She said she was doing this for her brother, but they never elaborated on this.
"A thief with a cause is still a thief." -Archangel
I remember watching X-men cartoon when I was a kid Wolverine was always my favorite when I got pregnant in 2014 and found out we were having a boy my husband and I favorite X-men is Wolverine when we were figuring out names we both decided on Logan. I’m so excited about the new series
my parents did something similar with my name I was born in 1995 and my mother's favorite character from the show was a certain x men if it's not obvious look at my name
That awesome 🤔 but for some reason my rabid mind thought you were going to name him wolverine....😂
Name your kid after your favorite cartoon character 🫢🤯
Well...
I can't wait to see Rogue reunite with her newfound brother Nightcrawler. Sunspot is joining the team as well. I heard talk of them exploring Storm's sub-leader role which I am so excited for! And I am of course looking forward to Magneto. He legitimately thinks he is doing the right thing and has proven he can be a good person. Years of horrible suffering made him this way and want to prevent what he went through from happening again. In the comics he actually does take over as leader when Xavier goes to space with Lilandra, but has to make tough decisions when he sees echos of his past in the new anti-mutant movements and laws. He joins the Hellfire Club to keep the Xmen protected and forbids the New Mutants from going out and using their powers because he does not want these children to go through what he went through. He ends up giving up on Professor X's dream.
X-Men '97 is already off to a stellar start. ✨️
I know season 5 isn't great, but there was an episode in it that explained how Apocalypses came back. Eventually inhabiting the body of Fabian Cortez.
Was about to say this
Same
Every channel is ignoring that episode...😂
I was about to say the exact same thing.
I came here to say this too!
One thing I am curious about is how Juggernaut will deal with Xavier’s “death” His life goal was to destroy Xavier himself, but with him gone, where does Cain Marko go from here?
He could eventually join up. Like he did in the comics.
Take up bowling?
I can see Juggernaut want to destroy everything that Xavier hold dear, if he couldn’t take the life of his brother. For some examples, juggernaut could want to either destory his brothers dream of mutant & humanity living in peace from ever happening. Or Juggernaut could want the destruction of the X-men for them being Xavier’s legacy he left behind.
Weren't they brothers?
Step brothers. @@sidneyshaw9205
THE THEME SONG!!!! I heard it in the trailer so I’m hoping that it’s still the original and not some remake
This show marks Cal Dodd and Lenore Zann's first time voicing Wolverine and Rogue in 24 years and George Buza, Alison Sealy-Smith and Adrian Hough's first time voicing Beast, Storm and Nightcrawler in 23 years, since Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes (2000) for Cal Dodd and Lenore Zann and X-Men: Mutant Academy 2 (2001) for George Buza, Alison Sealy-Smith and Adrian Hough.
Magneto had Honor in this show!
When does this come out?
Can't wait tomorrow
I'm excited for X-Men 97 and I'm expecting for a few things to happen. -Jean Grey revealed to be Madelyne Pryor, the Clone of Jean and the Mother of Cable -Apocalypse making his return after escaping the astral plane by possessing Fabian Cortez's body as a host. -Sabretooth and the Marauders killing the Morlocks in an episode Adaptation of Mutant Massacre -Fall of the Mutants -God Loves, Man Kills -Fatal Attractions when Magneto rips out the Adamantium from Wolverine's skeleton.
If Jean is a clone, then Scott can start a clone marriage support group with 90s cartoon Spider-Man😝
@@Scallywag96 nice joke. And I dare Cyclops to let out a Blood curdling scream like Spidey did. I can already see it: Cyclops(bloody curdling scream): "NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! JEAN!!!!!! JEAN!!!!!!!!!"
@@jessemillan1385 Cyclops: Hey Bobby. You have you're college roommate's phone number?
SPOILER ALERT but you totally called the Jean and Madeleine storyline…..it was soooo crazy when at the end of the 2nd episode she, we don’t really know which ones which, showed up at the door….can’t wait for the next episode
Spot on
I want to know if wolverine makes more convertible for cyclops
2024-03-20 .. That's it that's all you need to remember.
Thank you
I don’t remember the exact quote but… Arcade guy: Do you know how much that costs?! Jubilee: Yeah, a quarter. 😎
That’s the quote😂😂😂😂
Wasn't that in the first episode? 😂
This is where the fun begins.
Wrong franchise, but I understood that reference.
Game time started.
One thing i'm definitely looking forward to is Cyclops & Havok finally knowing about each other
Legit seeing the trailer for the first time made me cry!! This is how iconic this series is to me and my childhood 😊
The future of the MCU is the Mutant Saga and the X-Men are the ones to be FlagShip into the future
That and F4 (they will finally get it right) which means Marvel has plenty of steam going into the future
@@bruceleeroy8302 that's IF Marvel Studios will get it together.
@@bruceleeroy8302If and I mean IF they finally get Dr. Doom right. Three movies have totally flopped on Doom in every conceivable way so far and that is the biggest downfall of the F4 movies I would have to say.
Great job Rebecca, in the 90s X Men was the best super hero cartoon
i was 5 years old when i used to watch it here in India, I loved how Storm and Magento teamed up in the 2nd episode, Reminded me of the A.X.E. (Judgement Day) event where they fought against Thanos's Uncle. Storm, Gambit and Jubilee, I predict are gonna have a huge role in this era
I like how gambit mounts wolwerine
Amazing video Rebecca from watch mojo of things to know of the original beloved X-men animated series to understand the new X-men 97 cartoon series on Disney plus,fantastic job. What about to the brotherhood in the original X-men animated series too.
Now hopefully they make the games now 🎉
I remember how Wolverine loved talking about “pretty boys” 😂
2024-03-20 .. That's it that's all you need to remember
Just watched the first 2 episodes of X-Men 97...and it was such a thrilling ride! So excited for the upcoming episodes!
Except that the only guy who cared about continuity and even remotely adhering to the original show at all was fired for his… oh let’s say “private” activities. So no matter how good this is… if there’s a season 2 it will sadly be typical Disney garbage
@@doomedbringerWhen Disney acquired Star Wars for episodes 7/8/9, did you think Disney turned the franchise into garbage? How about the Mandalorian series - was that garbage too?
@@Puggalug yes, the Star Wars sequel trilogy was terrible, episode 7 was only half decent because it was a carbon copy of a new hope. Also mandalorian had hope… until the guy behind it made a deal with the devil and bent the knee in submission to Kathleen Kennedy destroying any hope it had after season. 2 to make his precious ahsoka series which was also awful. That also in turn ruined the book of boba fett
I would like to see a follow-up to Rogue's estrangement from her father. After the way that horrible punk treated his only daughter, I think he's overdue for some comeupppance.
Now there are three possibilities that of the identity of gene and Scott’s child is either they will do cable or X-Men the alternate cable from a different timeline or they’ll do Rachel Summers or Hope Summer. now one of the characters that I hope gets introduced in X-Men 97 is X 23. It would also be nice too see more of philock.
Great, now you’re telling me I gotta binge watch the entire series to get a full recap of X-Men before going into ‘97? This’ll be fun!
You had so many days to do that since X-Men'97 was announced a few years ago 😅
So glad they've got so much Great Source Material to work with.
That they will shit all over
@@matthiasdassler7500 You going to keep commenting in here lemming? Display to the crowd how you don't know anything about what you talk about?
It’s a shame they didn’t keep Jubilee’s Bob hair cut from the later episodes it would have helped with continuity and shown that she was getting older I hope if this continuations continues that we see changes in characters appearance and even uniforms even though I love the Jim Lee uniforms Either give them the navy ultimate X-Men uniforms or the Astonishing X-Men uniforms
well, at least they literally gave her a coming of age Mojo special hahahaha
I hope the original voices for the villains come back also, i love them too!
Even with the mistakes, I really do think the original animation style was great. Not as good as BTAS or SMTAS, but it still had so much distinct character. I realize that it's just not feasible anymore to hand draw things, but man does it look marvelous.
The son is Cable of course everyone should know this at this point.
Pls do a video about times x-men tackled serious issues.
Ah yes the Wolverine holding the picture meme.
I wanna se Colossus, Nightcrawler, Psylocke, Iceman and Angel on the team. They could adapt the Gold x Blue team storyline. Maybe a introduction of Illyana and a hint of New Mutants for season 2. Also more Emma Frost. I would like to see her forming the Massachussets Academy and The Hellions. Maybe even having Kitty Pryde as her student inicially.
Great job, Rebecca! X-Men the Animated Series is my childhood! I love Marvel Comics. It would be interesting to see Rachel Summers being the baby, but we’ll see. Apocalypse came back by using Fabian Cortez body in season 5 the Fifth Horseman. So, there’s that.🤓😅👊🏾
THIS ONES FOR YOUUUUUUU MORRRRPRH!
I want them to do 10 more seasons of this new series.... I want it all. This show is a classic
I really do hope that there will be more phoenix stories it’s my favorite along wit Jean grey
I still remember watching this cartoon when I was a kid and I still liked it
I really hope they drop the X-Triangle.
Apocalypse did come back in The 5th Horseman, where he possessed the body of his follower Fabian Cortez. I know that was in the batch of subpar episodes at the end of the run, but it should be canon.
Right? I thought for a second I was going crazy. Haha. I don't like that episode and kinda wish he stayed dead but it did happen.
@@tarheelpiper the plus side was that Cortez got screwed over.
Exactly 🤦🏾♂️
It is canon anyone who thinks it’s not is not a true x-men the animated series fan.
Was going to mention that Myself. It's kinda bad WatchMojo is making money off these videos, but they didn't bother to binge watch the Original series in preparation on the launch of X-MEN '97. I did. even watched though all of X-Men Evolution and Wolverine and the X-Men......
Remy Lebou, here to see my Brother...
@@kennyboggs3676lol just watched that one last night.
boy oh boy, after ep 5 this is just not the same thing
So excited for this show. But really feel that Iceman should have a spot on the team over Morph. For him to be a founding member of the group, I feel he didnt get enough screentime in the '90s version.
Well, those days are gone. Cartoons well done, histories fun. The animated series was perfect Reboot it is other show well done , spidermanthe new animatedseries , shadow raiders. Thanks for bringing these memories: 80s, 90s, and beginning new millennium 2000. Thanks again.
I'm hoping that we get villains who appeared in the comics after the series ended. One of my favorites is Onslaught, a Villain who has aspects of both Charles Xavier and Magneto.
Little correction, Apocalypse does have an episode in season 5 of the original tas.
People getting hip to this when it’s been on Disney forever is wild to me.
The last you see of apocalypse is when Fabian Cortez kidnaps jubilee to put his consciousness in her but she escapes and apocalypse transfers his consciousness into Cortez instead
What I'm curious about is how will Magneto lead the team? He wanted human obliteration and mutant rule on earth and Xavier wanted coexistence. And in one preview, Cyclops asked Jean what if Xavier's dream was a lie after it was found out that he left the X-Academy to Magneto in the will. Be interesting to see if the X-Men continue to fight for Xavier's dream or follow Magneto's.
I can't wait to watch this show!
Love this series.
Here it is 20th already but seems like I have to wait another day
The we are all more powerfull if we all sacrifice a little bit to work.together thing was the one message from the show everyone seems to have forgotten
i thought i had watched all of the episodes back in the day but i have no memory of Xavier dying
The X-men of this series appeared on a 2-part episode of the Spiderman Animated Series and Captain America was featured in a flashback episode working with Wolverine. Maybe other Marvel superheroes will appear on this new series.
They gave it to a Korean Anime studio to remake this series. It's great to see the influence of anime on Western animation in these years, (Spiderverse, Arcane, Puss in Boots, What if, etc.)
The cartoon never really got deeper (i may not remember if so, but dont think they even mention it) about the bond professor-mystique😮
I want them to bring in more X-Men, like the ones they had, Nightcrawler, Colossus, Dazzler, Banshee, Archangel, Iceman, they were all on the show. I know they can't all be there all the time, but rotate them in and out, Justice League Unlimited style.
Nightcrawler discovered who his birth mother was and that she abandoned him. I’m sure they can develop this. Colossus made several appearances in the cartoon, as a rival to Omega Red. Dazzler appeared during the Dark Phoenix saga, that the Inner Circle were attempting to abduct, and she showed an interest toward Cyclops. Banshee is Moira McTaggert’s interest on Muir Island. Archangel started off as Angel until he subjected himself to Apocalypse’s experiment to remove his mutant powers, until Rogue absorbed the mind control out of him, and then shown again when Psylocke was trying to steal from him. Iceman was introduced as one of the original X-Men but who left, and in this same episode, we were introduced to another team called the X-Factor. It’s less about being a revolving door of X-Men (since they aren’t official members yet) and more about advancing each of their plots to possibly somehow make themselves part of the team, I’d say.
@@Puggalug Yes, all that, is basically what I meant. I just figured, Archangel, Colossus and some others should live at the mansion, be part of the roster. And Cyclops and Havok need to learn they are brothers, boy that missed plot pissed me off.
X-men '97 will be awesome. 😀👍
Watch ROGUE During TheScene Where JeanGrey/PHOENIX Kisses CYCLOPS Good-Bye, in TheShi'Ar SpaceShip.😢
Where can i download the original xmen series
I love X-men when I was kid I still do
I glad that I finished the show last month.
I hope to see things like wolverine's kids and his relationship with Strom
I hope they bring back the friends of humanity and also explain how bishop remained since his timeline was erased due to the sentinels getting shut down.

Hope the music translates over as well, and not just the title track.
Apocalypse already returned in “The Fifth Horseman”. He used Fabian Cortez’s body as a vessel to bring him back into this realm.
Neat.
I have an awful lot of fond memories from watching the 90's X-Men series. I hope that the continuation series does a great job of adding to it's legacy. Please Disney don't ruin my fond memories.
Was that Typhoid Mary around 8:43?
Apparently if they go by the comics, Scott and Jean don't just have one child, they have SEVEN!
Start the ball Cajun.
To think we got a video with OG X-Men coming back!!!!!!
apocalypse got out in the 5th horsemen and was seen at the end of the show
The Hellfire Club angle hopefully comes up again. Emma Frost ❤
Why wouldn’t Gambit keep one of the collars that dampings mutant powers so he could get it on with Rogue? Seems that’s all she needs to be able to be affectionate.
6:08 MEME!!!!!
Everyone seems to forget that Apocalypse returned in season 5 episode 5 titled “The Fifth Horseman” where he posses Fabian Cortez body. “Beyond Good and Evil” was not good last appearance.
I’m hoping for an avengers vs X-men conflict. With the cinematic universe likely never being able to tackle that storyline this seems like the best bet
They did say they're adapting late 80s early 90s stuff, no modern ones.
Apocalypse did come back. In the episode the Fifth Horseman.

What about the relationship between Rogue and Magneto? I dont remember it. And isnt he affected by her power?
Apocalipse reapers on an episode of last season in which an aztec culture who worship him uses the body of Cortez (who was magneto's enemy on asteroid m) and apocalypse body is transfered to Cortez's body. Interesting that on that episode they use some names of Mexican history.
Madelyne Pryor, the clone of Jean Grey is Cable's mother, Hope Summers' is Jean Grey. Same dad with Cyclops, but two totally different mothers though
Wibbly wobbly...
Too bad we never got to see the animated version of "Onslaught", the mutant who looked like a combination of Professor X, Magento and Apocalypse.😢
Loved the old 90s xmen as a kid growing up . Obvs this 97 thats just came out it's apparently a continued part of the story? I was agaisnt it at 1st because i felt it ended a gd way to end the series back in the day..also bit shit theyve down graded rouges ass in this part of 97 lol...
So much nostalgia………..
I like the new series
