Wolverine and the X-Men

And, of course, this connects to X-Men 97, which is going to be part four of this Extraordinary YouTube.

We're going to be talking about the anime series, X-Men Evolution is next, then Wolverine and the X-Men, and finally, finally, talk about X-Men 97 because...

I know we're supposed to Ben talk about it and honestly we were gonna do something like this we should have been done it but season two is now out so I think this is a perfect time to go ahead and get into it zone in on it so let's go ahead and start with X-Men the anime series with season one establishing the core team the anti-mutant hysteria and primary antagonists like Magneto the Sentinels and Apocalypse so It starts out with Jubilee being targeted by the Mutant Control Agency and being saved by the X-Men including Cyclops, Jean, Storm, Wolverine, Gambit, Rogue, Beast, and Professor X.

The X-Men is destroyed in Mutant Registration files but suffer a heavy toll with Morph is seemingly killed by Sentinels and Beast being arrested.

The series concludes with Professor X experiencing a psychic flash forward of the X-Men's future as an elite adult superhero team.

And the funny thing is...

It showed how Magneto was working with the X-Men, how some folks grew stronger, like they still stayed on the team while some folks left the team to do their own thing or they left the team because, you know, sometimes bad guys are going to be bad guys can't be helped but yeah that was in a nutshell x-men evolution and the next part is going to be wolverine and the x-men and not gonna lie i've been watching a couple episodes So far, and I like what I've been seeing.

Because so far, it seems like, okay, the X-Men are pretty much broken up because of an incident that happened.

Emma Frost a lot, too.

And that's thanks to Wolverine and the X-Men.

That show is what made me like her.

That's a good use for you.

... uh, that feature the character.

Wolverine and the X-Men, yeah.

Yeah.

So, uh, yeah.

Alright, sexy exes, we are back.

We're talking about more Wolverine and the X-Men today, but hold up, sir, or ma'am, or they, or someone who just wants to be called their name.

That's the new one I learned this weekend.

We are going to get into Sinister Gossip Sesh of Doom.

Yeah.

Oh, so actually real quick, since you mentioned it, I forgot.

Kevin, tell the listeners, what is your relationship with Wolverine and the X-Men?

zero actually no negative two because i'd forgotten i used to get it confused with evolution even though it's clearly years later um so really literally at uncanny before we filmed this episode is the only time i'd even seen one of the costume uh renderings or whatever you want to call it of storm because there was discussion of her egg hairdo which i actually like a lot i think it's actually very pretty But I'd only ever seen like the title card on Disney Plus, I think would be it.

X-Men Evolution, Jean was a student, Storm was the teacher.

Jean was obviously MIA for the majority of Wolverine and the X-Men.

The X-Men anime, Jean dies, so we never really get to see their relationship.

In the movies, I mean, especially in the movies, we never see Jean and Storm having a hardcore sisterly relationship.

When, when, when you're doing Dark Phoenix in the MCU, it needs to be Cyclops and Storm carrying the emotional weight for the audience as we see Jean fall from grace.

I'm just saying, okay? That, that, that's what I want.

But okay, so they, they, they dropped the ball with the X-Men, the first X-Men movie, with the prequels, Wolverine and the X-Men.

I liked her in X-Men: Evolution, but she was by no means the star of X-Men: Evolution.

Because it gets really confusing.

So, the Hulk vs. Wolverine segment of this two-parter is actively a prequel to that one episode of Wolverine in the X-Men, where... wolverine has to go stop wendigo look up our episode about wolverine and the x-men now these two ovas are in the same timeline that means that the thor bit is also canon to wolverine the x-men which was a cartoon on nickelodeon this is so important because according to wikipedia they are both or all of this is still canon to disney's avengers earth's mightiest hero yep that's

the same voice actors

so the reason why i am not okay with that is that in these two ovas hulk is a rage beast and in wolverine the x-men hulk is a rage beast and And then in Earth's Mightiest Hero, Hulk can talk and is just hanging out at the Avengers Manor and, like, Banner is never in the show.

Yeah, but he doesn't really get used all that much in anything outside of the comics.

Like, he's not...

If memory serves, he wasn't in Wolverine and the X-Men at all.

I have no idea if he shows up in X-Men Evolution.

So we know you watched the original X-Men in 97.

What about Evolution and Wolverine and the X-Men? What's your history with those?

Yes.

Okay, so X-Men Evolution I watched all the way through.

I thought it was fun to use the brotherhood like that as sort of rival teenagers.

I thought it was kind of fun.

And then Wolverine and the X-Men, I remember watching.

I've watched all the way through.

I've been saying this for a while that there's this show.

There's this animated show called Wolverine and the X-Men.

Right.

It came out.

That's the entirety of the X-Men movies.

They're labeled X-Men? No, they're not.

They're Wolverine and the X-Men movies.

Yes.
