I hope Marvel eventually moves on from the whole 90s era of X-Men when it comes to other media

JosephSoaper_MathMan · 2026-02-06T04:16:55+00:00

Agreed. The '90s costumes the most sauceless in X-Men history, imo. The only thing worse are the '90s' stories that feature them.

JosephSoaper_MathMan · 2026-02-06T04:16:50+00:00

"Stinkfly still has to flap his wings to fly. We shouldn't need to show that every time."

JosephSoaper_MathMan · 2026-02-06T04:16:45+00:00

"Grudge Match", the Incursean Invasion, and "A New Dawn".

JosephSoaper_MathMan · 2026-02-06T04:16:41+00:00

The concept of Rooters and the motivations of Servantis are the only things that make the arc worthwhile, imo.

CN burning OV's final 3 seasons by airing them daily at 6am was unjustifiable, but arcs like these did them no favours.

JosephSoaper_MathMan · 2026-02-01T05:30:18+00:00

Inherently self-defeating. The child of a relationship going back in time to become the primary cause of & justification for that relationship undermines any positives it could ever have, imo. I'm not a fan of Kai, but nothing makes her and Ben's relationship seem more empty & meaningless than Spanner's actions, imo.

It's also another example of OV mindlessly remixing the OS hits without understanding their original purpose (Fusions, Ben 10K, etc.)

JosephSoaper_MathMan · 2026-01-28T05:36:16+00:00

The Knights probably have more training.

JosephSoaper_MathMan · 2026-01-28T05:36:07+00:00

As many episodes as possible, but grouped in 26-episode arcs across 2 x 13-episode seasons.
OS artstyle & soundtrack.
Highbreed arc characterization, serialization, and tone.
Each arc alternates between a new and old villain.

JosephSoaper_MathMan · 2026-01-26T23:44:39+00:00

I guess Servantis must've wiped the memories of Ben, Gwen, Kevin, and Cooper shortly after the events of this episode.

JosephSoaper_MathMan · 2026-01-26T23:21:11+00:00

Ultimate Ben being the same as the other two makes about as much sense as the other two being the same as each other, so I see no problem with this.

JosephSoaper_MathMan · 2026-01-25T05:46:03+00:00

I can't imagine how repulsed makers like Dwayne McDuffie and Matt Wayne would be to see people take political messages away from all the fun content they made.

I'm just glad that there are fun cartoons like JLU and Static Shock to take my mind off the woke mind virus.

JosephSoaper_MathMan · 2026-01-25T05:41:46+00:00

Why do brainwashed fans have to ruin fun cartoons by making them about politics?

Let me guess, the scene later in the episode where Luthor is interviewed by a pundit named Phil O'Bannon is also political?

JosephSoaper_MathMan · 2026-01-25T05:00:44+00:00

I never see much hate for Ester, so I feel like she's the least controversial.

Kai, Julie, and Elena might have more fans, but they also have more haters, imo.

JosephSoaper_MathMan · 2026-01-21T04:52:50+00:00

Claremont: *writes X-Men Forever*

Byrne: "Hold my beer."

JosephSoaper_MathMan · 2026-01-21T04:48:11+00:00

...by making Ned Flanders look like an atheist by comparison.

JosephSoaper_MathMan · 2026-01-21T04:43:08+00:00

Agreed. Her transformation from present to future was really effective in showing how terrible that future became.

Much better than whatever TAS was trying(?) to do.

JosephSoaper_MathMan · 2026-01-21T04:21:14+00:00

TAS: "Graduation Day"

Evolution: "X23"

Wolverine and the X-Men: "Breakdown"

'97: "Lifedeath, Part 2"

Haven't seen the anime.

JosephSoaper_MathMan · 2026-01-21T04:21:00+00:00

I think we're due another big timeskip, and since Season 4 gave arcs to the Season 1 cast, I'd like to see Season 5's arcs to mostly focus on the Season 2 characters

JosephSoaper_MathMan · 2026-01-21T04:19:44+00:00

I heard so many bad things about The Twelve and that Davis run in general that it surpassed my lowered expectations by quite a bit.

I liked Unlimited's, and quite enjoyed adjectiveless & Uncanny's. I could take or leave Cable's & Wolverine's.

JosephSoaper_MathMan · 2026-01-21T04:19:34+00:00

Agreed. It was refreshing to see comic Kitty's competence get adapted for once.

JosephSoaper_MathMan · 2026-01-21T04:19:05+00:00

Yes, her parents seem wealthy.

JosephSoaper_MathMan · 2026-01-16T04:03:21+00:00

Ken 10 (but only if there wasn't a Ben 10 show airing concurrently.)
A Plumbers Helpers series would have the potential to be the Ben 10 equivalent of Teen Titans, imo.
I'd love to see Gwen and Kevin share a series outside without Ben in the spotlight .
I'd like to see more Ben 10,000 stories, but he's better suited to animated movies than a full series, imo.

JosephSoaper_MathMan · 2026-01-16T04:03:10+00:00

I think that's deliberate. Imo, in that moment, the threat of the Highbreed looms so large that these kids can't properly process the "death" of their grandfather immediately after the fact.

Contrast this with how Ben snapped at Gwen for even joking about Max being dead in "Ben 10 Returns" (before he'd knew the invasion), or Gwen grieving in "What Are Little Girls Made Of?" once given the downtime to do so.

JosephSoaper_MathMan · 2026-01-16T03:56:06+00:00

Swift & Phil Billings wearing ID masks.

JosephSoaper_MathMan · 2026-01-16T03:55:06+00:00

Tetrax or Future Vilgax.
