Welcome back everyone
it's Charlie Marvel.
Just showed a bunch of footage
from X-Men Episode one and revealed what's going on during the season.
Which characters are coming back, who the main villain is going to be.
So we'll break it all down.
I know there are a lot of questions how this is going to connect
with their X-Men live action plans and what's going on in Deadpool three.
So we'll explain that to If you're brand new to the channel,
be sure to subscribe to get all the episodes.
I will do full episode videos for X-Men 97 when they release them.
But basically.
The series is meant to be X-Men, the Animated series, Season six.
They're just calling it Season one of X-Men 97.
The reason why they use 97 is because had they not canceled X-Men,
the animated series after season five, Season six would have aired in 1997.
recently a bunch of fans found out some production information behind the scenes.
And it lists January 20, 24 as the premiere date.
We'll see if that sticks.
Hopefully they don't delay it again.
but in the footage that they showed off recently
from episode one, the X-Men are interrogating Bolivar Trask
with Jean Gray using her telepathy to probe his mind for the truth.
They used the Trask character during the live action
X-Men Days of Future Past Movie played by Peter Dinklage.
His backstory was pretty similar during that as it was the animated series in in
the comics.
he's meant to
be the scientist that originally created the Sentinels, the send.
Those were the original antagonists
of the early X-Men, the Animated series episodes.
Eventually, Trask learned that master mold intended to hijack them
and use them to take over the world, killing mutants and humans alike.
end, even though Trask didn't completely 180 on the X-Men and sympathized with them
the other mutants, he did try to help them destroy master mold.
they were kind of ambiguous about what happened to Master Mole.
Like ultimately they want you to think
that he's still out there somewhere, potentially.
He was meant to be the apex evolution of the Sentinels created by Trask
to be their control master.
Thus the name Master Mold.
But he went rogue Ultron style during the new footage from episode one,
the new X-Men team mostly made up of members
from the original team with a couple of minor changes.
It's the leadership that changed
they had on an a mission to confront the threat of new sentinels.
Now, like brand new ones.
So that's why
they're interrogating Trask again, because he created the original ones.
they try to find out who's behind it.
And while they're on the mission, they make a bunch of references
to their training in the danger room.
So it sounds like there's a lot of danger room in those early episodes.
Professor X is supposed to return eventually,
but episode one is mostly the new team working together with Adam.
Like what is life like with the X-Men without Professor X
they're basically picking up where the original series left off.
And at the end of those original episodes in the finale, Professor X almost died
after he was hit with an energy disruptor at a mutant relations summit.
la land
or comes to take him to the R empire where they have technology to heal them.
And that's basically how they go out in the original finale, like the X-Men
and Magneto, watching him leave in their absence,
Magneto tries to carry on his good name, redeem himself in the process,
helping the X-Men standing in for Professor X as their new leader,
Storm and Cyclops are basically meant to be like the day to day team leaders.
Even though Magneto is technically in charge of everything, Jean Gray starts
the season being pregnant.
I believe it's supposed to be with Kable, a.k.a.
Nathan Summers.
It sounds like she'll give birth to him at some point during season one.
I don't think they want to begin season two with her still being pregnant.
They are working on season two right now that they've already finished season one.
I don't know if they have plans for season three yet.
They haven't talked that far ahead yet we just saw a live action version of cable
during Deadpool two.
He's not coming back in Deadpool three, though.
Josh Brolin, a.k.a. Thanos as well.
Like just people playing multiple Marvel characters In the comics.
He's meant to be the son of Cyclops
and Madeline Prior, so a little bit of a different twist.
Who was a clone of Jean Gray, who they thought had died, created
by Mister Sinister, who was obsessed with Cyclops and Jean Gray's bloodline.
he believed that the children born of Cyclops and Jean Gray
would become ultra powerful Omega level mutants that he wanted for himself.
So he was obsessed with them during the original X-Men, the animated series.
It sounds like they're continuing that during X-Men 97,
they'll probably be some Easter eggs for the original comic book storyline,
but like they did a big cable storyline during the original X-Men.
The animated series is part of Apocalypse.
The storyline like he was time traveling to try and kill Apocalypse,
deals with a big age of apocalypse storyline during the original series.
So don't be surprised if we're seeing like the young cable
be born during these new episodes.
If we also see the older cable return at some point to.
Part of the reason why I think that storyline is taking more
center stage is because Mr.
Sinister himself is supposed to be the main villain of season one.
At least they didn't say what he's going to be doing
during the new episodes beyond just messing with genetics, trying
to create superior mutants in Cyclops and Jean Gray's on cable.
it sounds like there'll be some larger plot that he's involved in.
Like his plans will have gotten bigger since the original series, but
it usually just comes back around to genetic experimentation
during the new trailer footage, Cyclops also gets that classic
Professor X Line, which is also a comic book line, too.
To me, my X-Men
generally, that's about all the footage that they've revealed so far.
The new team mostly supposed to be the same
with a few minor changes like this is the roster here.
This new character is just a redesign of morph.
He's back on the main team.
Remember they found out he was still alive and then eventually he turned
good again.
a lot of people confused about this character too.
This is just meant to be sunspot
they didn't say which episode Professor X returns from the air empire.
But my assumption is that it'll be after the first few episodes at least,
because they want to show what the X-Men are doing in his absence.
Like, how is Magneto handling being leader of the team, trying to redeem himself,
The original writers explain what would have happened
had they continued the regular show back in the day and they got in season six
in It sounds like the plot of X-Men 97 is basically that
like they just literally continued with
what happens to the X-Men a couple of months
after Professor X leaves the Earth, because it's brand new animation, too.
It's also meant to be way shinier, like it's inspired by the animation
style of the original characters, but done with modern technology.
So it's in 4K, HDR and everything looks way crisper.
They've already been a couple big X-Men animated series, Easter eggs
in the live action Marvel movies and Disney Plus series recently.
The biggest ones being Doctor Strange Multiverse of Madness when they introduced
Patrick Stewart in the A38 universe as part of the Illuminati, his character
design was meant to look exactly like Professor X from the animated series.
they even played the song from the animated series.
this is Sam Raimi and the writer talking about
making him a version from the animated series
Generally, all the X-Men characters in the A3 universe,
not just the one that you see here, are meant to be based on X-Men,
the animated series versions of the characters
Deadpool three is also supposed to revisit the universe,
and it sounds like that's how they're going to explain
Hugh Jackman's Wolverine, wearing the comic book Accurate Yellow Suit.
they'll just say
that he's also based on the version from X-Men, the Animated series.
during the Ms..
Marvel series, you may have heard when they were revealing that she was also
a mutant, they also played the X-Men, the animated series
theme music.
so Kevin Fire
clearly wants people thinking of X-Men in the original series.
For those of you asking whether or not it's
going to be canon to the MCU, though, generally you're supposed to look at it
the way we look at what if being canon to the MCU, like technically it is canon,
but it's all happening in different universes.
So X-Men,
the animated series is canon, but it is happening in an alternate universe.
the A38 universe isn't meant to literally be the universe from X-Men.
The animated series is just meant to be very, very similar.
Expect more Easter eggs from the animated series during Deadpool three, though
for those of you asking what's happening with the new X-Men live action movie,
the Kevin Feige
said that they were also developing the supposedly not going to be doing that
till sometime, probably after Secret Wars comes out Bill,
introduce more X-Men characters.
But right now the plan is that Kevin Foggy wants to have a big swan song
going out for all the original X-Men actors like the Fox Marvel actors,
and that's happening in Deadpool three.
Like it's meant to be a big homage going out for those characters.
And in Secret Wars, because of all the multiverse.
they get their big swan song in those Avengers movies.
Then Kevin, he starts introducing new versions of the MCU, X-Men.
those will probably use secret wars to retune things like some soft reboot
to explain how mutants start
popping up all over the place on the main 616 MCU Earth.
but that's meant to be the main reason why we're seeing the new Fantastic
Four movie before the new X-Men movie, just because we have Deadpool
three coming in.
Kevin Feige, he wants to have all these images
to the classic versions of the X-Men actors.
once they're done with Secret Wars, though, they're like,
they're going to kill off Hugh Jackman's Wolverine.
He'll always be Wolverine in a certain part of the multiverse,
but there will eventually be a new recast version of Wolverine.
It's just going to be a while before we actually see that character
got some plans to pay off, some long running deleted scenes
and Easter eggs with Hugh Jackman's Wolverine.
First, it's going to take a few years to get that done.
we probably won't get that full X-Men trailer till later this year
for the new series, hoping it doesn't get delayed again.
What if season two is like the other animated series
that's basically ready to go and has been delayed?
It's been sitting on a shelf for a while now.
They'll release that after X-Men 97, Season one.
Let me know if you have any other questions about the series
and I'll do more videos as they release more footage
and we get more Easter eggs during the Deadpool
three movie, we'll start
getting trailers and more Easter eggs from that in the next year or so.
there's a bunch of big stuff coming up.
My Asoka episodes will start really soon.
Loki Season two episodes, right?
That of course will do videos for everything.
