I thought it adapted some of the storylines, like Days of Future Past, Phoenix/Dark Phoenix Saga, and the Mojoverse shenanigans. Oh and High Evolutionary.

It also adapted Phalanax stuff. From what I hear it also did it much better than comics, mainly due to making it lot less confusing.

I also think they mixed some stuff, like how Age of Apocalypse is tied to Days of Future Past with how Forge is linked to DOFP despite being an AOA character.

Yeah the show covered alot of the 90's and 80's story lines. They also did Fatal Attractions (Marvel Comics) where Fabian Cortez is from.

In fact I think Bastion (X force), Inferno (1988) (Madeline pryor), The Muir Island Saga (Shadow King) , and Dracula are the only ones left. And rumours are were getting the former two.

Plus God loves man kills but liks I'm not sure they'll want taclle that.

Part of me hopes we get them all.

Frankly, there's so much new source material to pull from now that's been how many decades since the show aired that they could probably make several more seasons of this. And I imagine they will if this gets good reception.

My guess - based on the trailer, voice cast, episode count, and what stories the original show didn't get to - is that this season is going to be covering Magneto's trial before the UN, Bastion, the Muir Island saga, X-Cutioner, and early New Mutants when they were trained by Magneto.

Could they do the storyline prior where Magneto just looses his patience with the X-Men and rips the metal bones out of Wolverine's body?

[up]I could see a chance of that happening if they wanted to also focus on Magneto. But just a long as the others get the spotlight in that story.

Could something like Magneto ripping out bones be shown in a TV-14 production?

[up] Maybe if it's done just barely off-screen, or with a Shadow Discretion Shot, so that there's no on-screen blood or anything, but the screams and imagery will end up traumatizing viewers all the same (or perhaps even worse)?

Generally speaking, not sure if they will do it because Magneto seems to be becoming a good guy now and I'm not sure if they're planning to give him revolving door morality like in comics, especially since TAS Magneto was always one of the most heroic versions.

immortaleditor Since: Aug, 2023
#289: Feb 17th 2024 at 2:03:57 PM

[up]Yeah, this season is also clearly adapting the period in the comics where Magneto was fully redeemed and leading the X-Men before John Byrne decided to be an asshole and make him a villain again against Chris Claremont's wishes. So unless they for whatever reason adapt Byrne's Face–Heel Turn arc, Magneto's probably not even going to be a position where he wants to rip out Wolverine's metal, let alone willing to do it.

I agree that we're probably getting an heroicish Magneto or at least I hope so.

If the baby Jean is pregnant with is Nathan Summers, there will probably be an adaptation of the storyline where Apocalypse infects him with the techno-organic virus and he's sent to the future. It could be Rachel or even a new character but since the original cartoon all but spells out that Cable is Jean and Scott's son, I assume it's Nathan.

But baby Nathan isn't Jean's child.

He's Madelyne's.

Rachel is Jean's child. Her alternate universe child, but still.

[up]My suspicion is that it'll be revealed that in this version Cable actually came back to prevent the sequence of events that include him getting infected with the nano-virus as a kid, and the finale has him giving his life to ensure baby Nathan can actually live a semi-happy life instead of becoming... well, Cable.

It's quite possible - if not likely - that this show will try to simplify Cable's complicated parenthood.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Cable won't have been sent to the future as a kid, he'll just be a version of Nathan who grew up with the nanovirus in the present day.

[up]Nate/X-Man is the Age Of Apocalypse version of Nathan/Cable. In his universe, he never got infected with the technovirus or sent to a future or whatever, so he just grew up as well-adjusted as possible in that world and with his full powers that he inherited from Jean.

But baby Nathan isn't Jean's child.
He's hers biologically (and emotionally since she raised him when he was a toddler and then in the future) and it wouldn't be the first or even the second Marvel adaptation that made a stepmother into a mother to simplify a family tree.

Who knew a team inspired by the civil-rights movment would be progression. This just showst how shallow the so called fandom of these guys truly was, they cared only about the flash, not the substance.

(Not worth mentioning are the twits who were never interested in super heroes and just see the division within the subculture as a handy recritment opportunity for their bullshit, regressive ideology)

Or worse they only hate it because it came out in this era. That genuInley seems to be the only reason they have for not liking something.

I wonder if they'll address X-Factor's existence. It even has Scott's brother!
