X-Men (General Discussion) Comic Book • Page 19

Definitely going to try to cop that

 

X-Men '97:

(sings loudly)

THIS IS THE DAWNING OF THE AGE OF AQUARIUS APOCALYPSE

 

What a banger season that was

 

I was sweating bullets when Nightcrawler was teleporting all around Bastion while fighting him

 

Good finale to a really good season. I wonder when we can expect Season 2? Spring of 2025?

 

Oh dear.

 

Pretty neat that we were shown who one of Apocalypse’s horsemen are going to be.

 

Spoilers, Greg.

 

From what I’m hearing, it sounds like Marvel stayed true to 90s X-Men by making Magneto right (and hot), and then made him go cRaZy in a way that no well written Magneto would? Is this right?

If so, everyone should just pretend that’s Joseph, not Magneto.

 

How would a "well-written" Magneto go crazy?

 

What I meant was, a well-written Magneto wouldn’t go crazy, lol.

The only exception is Morrison New X-Men, and even that 1) has an ancient bacterial evil influencing him, 2) has problematic elements to the story, and 3) had to be convolutedly retconned into a separate Xorn character afterwards so the character would be usable going forward.

(Though now I’m imagining a story beat that’s like a mash-up of the “Joseph” clone and Xorn.)

 

Magneto was great in “‘97.”

 

Don't think it's out of the question for Magneto to get so frustrated and upset that he decides to trash the planet, but (shrugs).

 

Yea, with no context haha

 

I mean, we're talking about the show, it would be weird if you just threw a random comment about something else without context.

 

Turkeys, turtles, and tights.

 

Such a fantastic season. Became way more than I was expecting from where we started at Ep 1

 

Not that it's any of our business, but I really wonder what DeMayo did to get the boot and have no consideration of coming back, especially given his deep well of knowledge and respect for the property.

 

Rumors suggest he created a negative work environment but no one's confirmed or denied that.

 

Yeah, it feels like Disney/Marvel really clamped down on anyone speaking out and DeMayo isn't really fighting it. Though his posts could come off as politicking to get in Disney's good graces. If he was creating a bad work environment then good riddance. This season was amazing, but shouldn't be at the expense of everyone else working on it.

 

I don’t want to read another Wolverine book, but this team is doing it for me.

 

Logan is a character who’s easily in my top tier of Marvel superheroes, but also one that I for some reason only like reading sporadically (perhaps partly in reaction to how much material he has, lol).

So, I’m thrilled to have such a high level miniseries to give me a focused blast of Logan goodness. Very curious how big of a role some of the other characters Capullo’s posted art of have in the story; it’s dope that Dani Moonstar seemingly pops up.
