Remember It

Oh my God. The way I laughed, cried and gasped in shock in this episode! As a fan of the original 90's animated series, this episode delivered the goods way beyond my expectations! The soap opera drama between Rogue / Gambit / Magneto set with the backdrop of a devastating attack, really nailed the emotional impact. Can't believe I have to wait another week for this, just like in the old days! Last week's episode was one of the weaker ones but this really brought things home with some continuation on the Jean/Scott storyline and developing these characters. I'm so thankful to be alive to experience this revival!

I'm not one to write reviews but this episode just left me speechless. Perfect in every sense, action, drama, animation is top notch. Story just made the time fly. This episode will be remembered as one of the best tv animation half hours. It's that good.

The juggling of the X-Men is superb not failing to include a moment with almost all of them. This kind of awesome writing reminded me of infinity war or endgame. So many characters and we feel close to every single one of them.

If anyone has any doubts that this revival would be as good as the original, rest assured, it is! Happy to see Marvel at it's best once more.

I was already deeply impressed with the way the show handled the complicated love triangle relationships of Cyclops-Madelyn-Jean-Wolverine, and Gambit-Rogue-Magneto, to the point where I could actually feel the ache shown by Wolverine and Gambit in their scenes.

Then the episode throws us a emotional heavy curveball that blew me away. Powerful, emotionally charged scene, one after another. This episode is reminiscent of Avengers: Infinity War, but it does what that movie could not do for me: capture the raw emotion and high stakes.

I'm so glad X-Men 97 isn't just a capitalisation on nostalgia, but actually an incredibly well written series.

Side note though: This episode makes it clear that this series isn't quite meant for the kids!

This is it. They've done it. They've brought back quality writing and production to Marvel. I could watch episodes of this caliber for years. Take my money. Just astonishing!

This episode gives a flood of emotions that rivals infinity war. I didn't think it was possible to reach that height again. I don't know if you need to be a fan to appreciate the depths of this episode, but if you are a fan, this will hit every emotion you would want in a well written piece of art. I watched it again and again and will never be the same when it comes to defining greatness. This is not hype, this is kudos to amazing writing and design. Top five Marvel content all time. Period.

The episode fools you with the love triangle and uber happy vibes and then (trying not to spoil it) brings on the most impressive ten minutes I've ever seen in a superhero cartoon. A great message came out of Gambit and Rogue's conversation. Never seen Gambit like this and it was incredibly impressive. Cyclops, Jean, Rogue, Magneto are now more multi-faceted than they've ever been. In the original X-men cartoon Wolverine was far and away the most fleshed out. With the new show, I am not so sure anymore. The other characters are now very strong and more than capable of carrying an episode. And carrying it well.

Do yourself a favor and watch this episode without any distractions.
