We shall not live our
days wondering if we could have saved more.
We face this as we always have.
Together.
You have to get everyone out. He's coming.
If only you knew the future we have in store
of you.
X-Men have been holding hands.
We've been placing dominoes.
I think there's really going to be a war.
Welcome back everyone, it's Charlie
Marvel just released a trailer for the next couple of episodes of X-Men 97.
I don't think all this footage is just from episode six.
Some of it probably from later in the season.
There's a bunch of Easter Eggs, more cameos from other characters like Captain America.
if you don't remember X-Men The Animated Series or you didn't watch The Spider man 1990s animated
series, I'll explain how Captain America is canon to this series in what's going on with the Avengers
characters during this part of the timeline, because this is all taking place in the 90s.
Still
if you're
brand new to the channel, be sure to subscribe to get all the episodes.
Really good news to the person who's the producer on all these Marvel
animated, these Marvel TV projects in general, the live action stuff too,
so that they have a lot of the work on X-Men 97 season two already finished
and that they're also working on season three right now to episode six is next week.
It's going to be the second part of the storm
episode from episode four, with forge and her trying to get her powers back.
It's just called Life Death Part two, with them having to defeat the adversary.
there might be like A, B and C storyline with them following up on the attack on generator two.
So I'll talk about that later in the video.
The real big thing in the trailer, though, is the Captain America cameo scene.
A lot of people surprised by this, I think maybe because they didn't see the original episodes.
Captain America could be part of the B storyline in episode six.
It's not super clear he might be from a future episode, but during the scene
notice the Captain America throws his shield at the feet of one of the X-Men.
The animation makes it look like it's right out of the What If series two,
just because of the way they polish the animation on X-Men 97.
It's based on the animation from What If, but with a couple extra filters
that they put on it to make it look more like X-Men The Animated Series.
But the technology that they're using to animate it is still based on the what if animation.
but in this Captain America scene, notice when he throws his shield
at the feet of one of the X-Men, the yellow boots make it seem like it's actually Cyclops.
There are only two X-Men that wear boots that are super bright yellow like this, and it's
Cyclops and Rogue, and Captain America would have zero zero chance against rogue.
she's probably way too hard up after Gambit step two.
Like she be busy with what's happening in the aftermath of Juno.
She So don't think Captain America
would be trying to intimidate rogue by throwing his shield at her feet to warn her.
but it totally feels normal that he'd have a standoff moment like a bro off moment with Cyclops.
and remember, Cyclops was not on Juno like he was back with the other X-Men.
it's not super clear why Cyclops is here specifically, but notice they're in a snowy place
with a bunch of rundown cabins that look like no one's lived here in a long time with some military gear.
This might be an old military base unit, as Captain America's motorcycle is in the background here.
no idea why Cyclops will be trying to meet Captain America here.
Or if they're just both on different missions, looking for something here,
and they just happened to run into each other.
Or a Cyclops specifically goes looking for Captain America and finds him here.
it probably has something to do with the aftermath of the massacre on Juno.
So like, they're probably trying to figure out who's really behind this and just following clues
all over the world.
R.I.P to Gambit and all those other mutants.
I'll talk about them later in the video.
I have a couple of theories
about what really happened with Gambit and some of the other mutants, especially Magneto.
and who was really behind the attack.
there been a couple of clues in earlier episodes?
but the big reason why Captain America is canon to X-Men The Animated series
X-Men 97 tangentially is because he originally showed up during season five.
Old soldiers, in a crossover with Wolverine.
Wolverine and Captain America fought together during World War II to.
At the time, Wolverine was fighting in the Canadian Army, though.
The original episode
was Wolverine and Captain America teaming up with them, searching for Red skull like it was a big
Red skull episode in this universe, like in the X-Men The Animated Series universe,
Wolverine was fighting Red skull during World War Two, just like Captain America.
during the present day of that episode.
They'd been searching for Red skull for 50 years.
Who had been hiding out.
Wolverine wasn't part of Captain America's Howling Commandos.
Like I said, though, he was part of the Canadian Army.
They just happened to be both fighting in World War Two, both looking for the Red skull.
at the end of that episode, Red skull did wind up escaping them.
So he's still alive in the events of X-Men 97 universe.
Able to come back at some point to.
They had a habit of people surviving in that universe, so there's like so many characters
that could just come back in present day randomly.
but because the 90s Spider-Man series is also canon to X-Men The Animated Series and X-Men 97.
A lot of you been asking if Captain America coming back on X-Men 97
will address what happened to him at the end of the Spider-Man 90 series.
that's actually the last time that we saw the animated version of this Captain America.
He's meant to be this version of Captain America.
if you didn't realize they'd already confirmed on X-Men 97 that the Spider-Man 90 series was canon
to all of this, this article by Peter Parker and Eddie Brock,
they're the same Spider-Man in venom of the 1990 series.
Exact same versions.
The last time we saw this version of Captain America was during
the Secret Wars episodes of Spider-Man The Animated Series.
This is him standing next to storm.
That storm from X-Men The Animated Series.
we saw the beyond or about to send them home.
And then that was the last we saw of them at all.
And then they canceled the Spider-Man series, so they never really explained what happened to him
after this.
here's some really good news a lot of you been asking for, too.
There's been a lot of talk of Marvel doing more revival series of old animated series
set during the 90s, part of the timeline,
meaning that there is a solid chance that they do a revival for Spider-Man.
The 90 series.
there's been a lot of talk of them just exploring more of this 90s
part of the universe set inside the universe of X-Men The Animated Series.
So, like, it'd be canon with X-Men 97, like they do all these crossover series in this part of the timeline.
the other new trailer footage here starts with Wolverine and Nightcrawler
versus a ton of Sentinels flying it, though no idea which episode this is.
Notice he's still using his sword to fight.
There's another scene of him inside a house, fighting with his sword again to.
this scene of storm carrying forge, who's all waylaid
with all the bandages on her horse, is from episode six next week.
It's just the next part of their cliffhanger from episode four, with them facing the adversary.
Pretty easy to assume that she will get her powers back.
Like they're not going to do Storm Dirty like that before the end of the season.
Like she will eventually get her powers back.
Not totally sure where Jubilee is in this scene, but notice the reflection in her sunglasses
when she pulls them down.
This is a big ball of energy
she's staring at, so it just seems like she's in the middle of some big fight.
this is another new scene.
Totally different place of beast
jumping off the roof of a normal house in the suburb, fighting someone somewhere.
I love the way this just like a normal looking suburb.
He just happens to be on the rooftop.
This is another new scene of Jean. Great.
Like the real Jean gray, using her telekinesis to levitate herself in a bunch of boulders
during a fight somewhere.
One of the things they've been doing to differentiate Jean gray
from Madeleine Prior is visualize their powers a little bit differently.
When Madeleine Prior uses her powers, you see a little bit
more of the green energy as opposed to Jean gray, where you see this bluish energy.
Jean also wears the more modern version of her X-Men suit.
Madeleine prior does not.
That's another big change. And they wear their hair differently.
and I don't know where this came from, but people have been posting all kinds of memes
using Zendaya for this. Like this.
Wolverine Cyclops, Jean gray love triangle stuff is hilarious.
whole lot of tier X-Men soap opera energy going on here from the comics.
then addressing the dead mutants in the room, the attack on Jean OSHA,
a lot of theories about who was really behind this because the episode was adapted from
the E is for extinction storyline in the comics, basically the same thing winds up happening.
The Magneto becomes leader of Genovia soon after, it's attacked by the Wild Sentinel,
But in the original version of that story, it was actually Cassandra
Nova, the evil twin, a professor X who was behind the attack.
she's actually going to be the main villain of Deadpool and Wolverine,
but I don't think this X-Men episode is connected with Deadpool and Wolverine.
what they're probably doing is changing that storyline for the TV show.
A lot of you been asking about bastion two because he might have had something to do with it,
and he had a couple of cameos in previous episodes.
He might have been the person that cable was really talking about
when he showed up to Madeline Prior, saying he is coming.
the first time we saw bastion first cameo scene was on Forge's picture on the wall of his lab.
He's the person that's covered up on the left of forge here with the doctor
then during episode five, literally moments before the attack went down,
you can see Magneto clocking Bastion Wesley on the upper level.
This is bastion at the bottom of the frame like it's a blink and you'll miss it kind of cameo scene
super quick.
Now, remember how forge told storm about his dark origin,
how he worked with the government and help them develop the sentinel technology?
Anti mutant technology, basically.
this starts to get into Bastian's origin story too, and how he's tied up with the Sentinels.
Big time travel character when he says he's coming, like I said, could have something to do with bastion
because of what happens to bastion in the comics in his origin story.
if you're not a big comic book reader, bastion is a human sentinel hybrid sort of overarching villain.
This is really crazy time travel based origin story with the same vibes as cable.
he was basically created when a Nimrod unit came into contact with Master
Mold in the programing, got fuzed and they forgot their origin.
if you remember, they did Nimrod during X-Men The Animated Series.
He was a prototype advanced Sentinel from the distant future.
so his origin is in the same vein of what they're doing right now in X-Men 97
with the Sentinel characters we've seen in the past, they've changed the original comic book stories.
They're adapting, like the Madeline Pryor story was changed a bunch for the TV show.
So it's possible that instead of Cassandra Nova being behind the Wild
Sentinel, it has something to do with bastion in the future.
either way, cable will be back.
It sounds like he was going to try and come back again to present day.
Like he's just going to keep trying until he gets it right.
Talking more about the many, many deaths or repeats everyone.
I do like the theory that Leech briefly took away Magneto's powers,
and that's why the three headed wild Sentinel from the comics thought that it had killed Magneto
because it didn't detect his power signature coming from anymore.
I think the gambit was meant to be the only major main X-Men
character death, and they just want you to think that Magneto was dead.
there was a scene from the very first trailers they released for the series of them at a funeral,
loading a coffin into the ground. That might be gambits funeral.
With all of the X-Men thinking that he's dead, They're a couple ways that he could come back,
which I think that he will eventually, like.
I definitely think he will be back.
there's the straight out time travel explanation, like cable finds
a way to change the past to prevent him from dying somehow.
or the more twisty explanation that is part of Gambit
unlocking his Omega Level powers from the comics, and he'll just come back.
Is this more powerful form?
Way back.
In the comics, Gambit had Mr.
Sinister perform an operation on him when he was younger that wound up
stunting his true power levels without him realizing it.
later on, he winds up crossing over with an alternate universe
version of himself into power himself up even more.
He has Mr.
Sinister perform another operation to unlock his true power potential.
He winds up becoming an Omega Level mutant capable of controlling all kinetic energy on a much bigger scale.
He can also turn into pure energy. He could fly.
in. This might be part of them paying off the Easter eggs from episode five.
Remember when Magneto made fun of him on the plane for being the only X-Men who could not fly
And at the end of the episode, you see him charge and blow up the entire
Godzilla sized kaiju, while Sentinel.
way bigger act of power than we've ever seen Gambit do on the TV show.
some early theory his body might just be in the process of unlocking his true omega level potential.
and here's the other payoff to.
Once he does, he might also be able to touch a rogue the same way that Magneto is able
to touch her without her draining all of their powers.
And they'll be able to be together like a real couple.
Gambit is horny, is ever horny on main.
