I figured we'd keep things localized because it seems I'm not alone in being stoked for this show.

The original was a huge part of the 90s and people's childhoods.

The first two episodes dropped today.

Lol! Maybe not the whole evening...its only 2 episodes and they're only a half-hour long!

But yeah, the original show was something that was just a staple for me, so I am pretty stoked for this new iteration.

Besides, its kind of a neat idea. Take an old Cartoon and re-develop it for the people who loved it who are now in our 30s.

No throw back to the last episode with a "Previously, on X-Men" I'm out. Pass. This is the worst.


Joke's aside, using the voice from the original Cyclops voice actor doing that would have been a nice little tribute (Norm Spencer passed away in 2020).

I wonder why some of the voice actors didn't opt to come back. Alyson Court, obviously, wasn't going to be allowed to play an Asian character anymore but the kid from Kung-Fu the Legend Continues and Jean Grey's actress are still around as far as I know.

Did you watch episode 2? They did exactly that.

I think 'Speculation' is fair enough, because as far as I know its not 'based' on prior work? So no one really knows more than anyone else.

If you do though, 'Spoiler Tags' are probably for the best.

Take me for instance, I'm working late tonight which means I started late, so I watched the episodes this morning.

However, before we get too far...on what service is this being broadcast? We should note that for interested people. I hoisted the colours for my viewing pleasure.

IMO anything that's been aired is fair game. I'll spoiler, until it's official though.

Spoiler!


Speculation spoiler based on comic books

It's on Disney+.

And based on stuff in the second episode, I'm pretty sure they're adapting some existing material.

The originally cartoon was almost all modified versions of existing comic material. The new stuff is likely to be the same. The Comic-con interviews hinted at lots of carry over from the comics.

The toys spoiled the reveal at the end of the episode 2. So glad it wasn't hanging over the season

Welp. E2 was...amazeballs.

Yep. Thats what we're here for.

That episode was fan-damned-tastic.

Get me E3...lets do this!

I've always felt that Storm was a criminally under-developed character.

Silence heathen. The only good part of that Spider-Man cartoon was Venom and they did him criminal injustice.
