X-MEN '97 Episode 8 REACTION | 1x8 "Tolerance Is Extinction Part 1"

scott with the porsche is literally a dad trying to impress his son so sweet

The brilliance of the writing in this show really cannot be overstated. The dialog is stellar, but as you said, the way disparate stories are being weaved into a single cohesive narrative is unmatched. I'm fully expecting this show to bring home an absolute avalanche of awards.

I love that they changed Jubilee into her more current look! That black body suit with the jacket looks so good. It matures her.

Cameos aside, this episode is Astonishing! Plus Doom and Zemo telling Bastion that he is going overboard is crazy to me. Love it. Once again, Magneto was right.

Magneto: being held captive and very upset The audience: awooga wooga😍🤤 😂😂😂

“Am I too late?!” Well, that depends on who you were trying to save

16:41 Scott’s got the power of family 😂😂

Magneto didn't declare war on humanity, he simply accepted humanity's declaration of war on mutants!!!

X-Men '97 is EXCELLENCE. And it's less about adapting whole stories and more about taking the bits of what made each of them good and blending them. If they adapted an entire story arc we'd literally not get to see anything else. Taking bits and pieces of EVERYTHING to make a unique story is genius. They have 60+ years of material to use. Anything is possible!

I respect this reaction you guys really know the comics very well and it’s refreshing to hear

We must protect Kurt at all costs.

Sinister always playing everybody lol

The Wolverine/Nightcrawler fighting…the animation…the storyline…holy smokes this finale is gonna be EPIC!! Shout out to the animators for finally showing the effects of Nightcrawler teleporting…that was the best!!! And Nightcrawler fight8ng with three swords…damn that took me back to his late 80s solo comic with the little BAMFS. Man as a comic collector for over 40 years and a huge X-men fan I’m loving this! Especially since this was one of the last Saturday morning cartoons I watched. Special shout-out to the animators for their nod at an old X-men cover, back when they faked their own deaths through the Siege Perilous and were living on the Australian Outback. The Reavers crucified Wolverine on a big X just like Bastion did Magneto in this episode. Damn this show has my comic nerd/enthusiast bursting outta my skin! 😂 Oh and don’t forget…SPIDER MAN showed up!🎉🎉🎉

I think at this point they've given Val Cooper too much of a human character arc for her to secretly be a mutant. I wouldn't have said that last week, but this week? I'd hate for them to undermine her incredible "Magneto was right" speech. And there should be at least one non-mutant ally in this series who isn't a complete fucking disappointment.

If Val is Mystique, Mystique deserves an Oscar. She is giving the performance of her lifetime. Also, if Dr Doom is saying that you have gone too far, you probably have gone too far.

Dang, more cameos than ever. Loving their take on Bastion's origin (nice to see consequences from OG's "One Man's Worth" two-parter) Wolverine/ Nightcrawler teamup was FANTASTIC AND YES, MAGNETO WAS RIGHT!!!!

I think the implication (from Cable) is that, upon death, Nimrod sent a piece of itself—a “backup”—backward in time as a fail safe. The question remains whether Bastion’s father was specifically targeted for infection, or if it was just an unhappy accident that the Nimrod goo encountered him first.

The irony here is that Magneto following Xavier’s example was working. Mutant/human relations were improving and Genosha was recognised by the UN. The irony lies with the fact that the humans are largely innocent in this situation and the attack on Genosha. It was the machines. There are three parties in this race: Mutants, Humans & Machines. Alongside the visual cameos (my favourite being Rachel and her Phoenix aura) are some clever allusions like teleportation being possible “in the blink of an eye.” The writers knew exactly what they were doing with their wording! I expect Mystique and Blink to feature soon. Polaris herself is seen here, while being alluded to in episode four. Another thing that surprised me was Doom’s involvement. He and Magneto share a mutual respect, as one was a victim of the holocaust on Jews, and the other on Romani Gypsies. And I like that they seemed to reference this with his acknowledgement of Bastion’s “flagrant war crimes.” And lastly, I’m so proud Jean didn’t faint once. They’re doing my girl justice!

It's great watching a show that actually delivers and exceeds expectations.

The Fast and Furious joke when they were driving by you two....chef's kiss!
