I like the premise: the X-men in the future have to help Kang defeat Apocalypse and the X-men in the past have to help Apocalypse defeat Kang. 🤯 that would be 🔥.

Can we all just appreciate Morph for a second? Dude is willing to shapeshift into Jean Grey and let his boy Wolverine hit it from the back. That's what real friends do! 🔥

There's a way that could explain how the X-Men got time displaced without invoking Kang at all. When Bastion absorbed Cable's mechanical arm, that was the arm that housed his time cube navigator. When Bastion flew too close to the nuclear reactor the energy could've disrupted the time flow causing Asteroid M to be shattered across time.

What a phenomenal season of Marvel Television! This season and finale were absolutely incredible, and it really had it all! Great writing, jaw-dropping animation, masterful music, amazing voice acting performances, brilliant pacing, respect for the original source material/90s animated series, and lots of fun/really cool Cameos and Easter Eggs for the fans to enjoy! I'm so excited/hyped for Season 2 and will be counting down the days! This finale and the whole season get a 100/10 from me!

STOP PUTTING SPOILERS IN YOUR DAMN THUMBNAIL HOURS AFTER THE EPISODE AIRRED

Not only did beau demayo already confirm that Wolverine n morph are in the future with Jean and cyclops, but he also said Deadpool was off limits bc he’s being used in live action. They also confirmed a bit back that this does not tie into the mcu, even tho they considered it earlier on, it’s not. But yeah above all it’s for sure not the same Wolverine as the one here lost his adamantium and also didn’t fail his world in any real way, he basically died trying to be the hero

This is why I stopped watching New Rockstars. They create a 10-15 min video with 5 mins of ads😅

The main problem with your theory, is that X-men 97 is confirmed by the creators and Kevin Feige that it is NOT canon for or connected to the MCU. They have considered it multiple times but have left X-men '97 and X-men TAS as their own thing. While they do use MCU related things for familiarity purposes, they are not in any way connected. Now I wouldn't rule out Kang being the one messing around with time, but in the comics, the X-men have traditionally not had much (or any I'm aware of but there's a lot of material post the 90s I don't know much about) contact with Kang. But since Immortus has been in the series already, and established as a character, yes this is possibly (and very likely) his doing. The X-men will come to the MCU in 2025, but that will be it's own story unrelated to X-Men '97. A simple internet search would prove that it is not tied to ANY MCU movie. It took me about 5 minutes on Google to find several sources stating as such from Feige and the creators themselves, that it was considered and ultimately decided against.

I heard a great theory that Rogue will get the real Remy back by saying "Your name's Gambit, remember it." Also supported by Gambit's love for her being what kept him from crossing the line when he was Apocalypse's horseman.

Also when Beau DeMayo mentioned Age of Apocalypse at one point he mentioned Rogue and Magneto having a kid in that story which would obviously further complicate things since Rogue still loves Gambit.

This series is one of the best I've seen in so long! It keeps getting better and better.

That "ground news" segway was an omega level flex

[bobbyrooney]

"Never doubt me"says the guy who went on and on about how The Flash was amazing.

[Anchorheart]

This is EASILY the best thing Marvel has done since Infinity War / Endgame.
It's made me super sad since EG as I knew it would not ever be the same after that. I mean, how could it possibly be? That was such an insane accomplishment, but I hope this is the beginning of a new era of Marvel. Parallel to the infinity saga, but different and unique enough that it doesn't seem to be riding the coat tails of those movies. Not to mention the insane nostalgia boner that a new and nearly perfect season of my favorite childhood cartoon. They really need to get Beau back on the team though. He clearly has the right mindset and has his heart invested in the work.

Can't wait for the "Was Magneto Right" video we all know is coming!

[CalicoEvrywerigo]

X-Men Evolution had Beast describe how RamaTut’s technology caused the creation of the gray-skinned baby En Sabah Nur in the desert before hearing how his unnatural strength stands to overthrow the Kang Dynasty

I think Marvel should just recast Kang. We all know the situation with Jonathan Majors so it’s not like it would be a shock when a different actor shows up onscreen as Kang. Plus if they can recast Terrence Howard/War Machine for Don Cheadle then they can do it in the scenario too!

[matthewsams]

It was bastion that did the time jump. He took cables arm, which housed cables time jumping tech. Then, bastion died, throwing them all over the time stream...

[taylormadealpha]

The lead into the plug was elite! I didn't even notice it was happening until the name of the service was actually plugged in. That's how it's done lol

[kojikent]

I think them being scattered in three different time periods with each having a different version of apocalypse is interesting and how each team will beat him will be fun to see
