Featured review
An Episode for the ADULTS
This might be my favorite episode of the series. I was kind of bored for the first 10 minutes, but then they knocked it out of the park for the last 20, and finally left it on a great cliffhanger for the next episode. The whole series should be like Ep8.
The story took more of a twist than I expected and delved into some deep subjects like fear of robotic replacement, shifting of minorities to majorities, etc, and during these segments I put the show firmly back in the running to win the 'Invincible vs XM97' debate. And then we finally got to see Wolverine wreck stuff like we haven't seen since Ep1! And Nightcrawler! Woo! It's the kind of stuff I'm ideally signing up for when I see some X-Men. Coincidentally it's also the episode lightest on love story subplots- perhaps a correlation?
My criticisms mostly lay around the disposable army, and how given the explanation around their abilities, everyone except Wolverine should be dead, but then they basically turn into Storm Troopers. I roll my eyes every time a car jumps onto or out of an airplane, I don't care if it's a cartoon. And Jubilee? Just pat her on the head and tell her she's "making a difference", she'll get distracted soon; it's not worth getting upset about. Oh, and it's a time travel episode(boo!).
I like the premise of the new villain and his motivations, but I wish there was something a little more distinctive about him. Ask me in 5 years who the big bad of XM97 is and I'll probably tell you it's Mr. Sinister on Venom. But his master plan kind of made sense, and it works with how the rest of the season was written, so he has the potential to become a great AND memorable villain by the end. The other unfortunate aspect of this episode is that it contrasts with episodes 4 and 7 so much that I really wish they'd either done something better with that hour of screen time , or just cut them entirely.
According to the reviews, saying X-Men '97 is anything less than animated perfection is tantamount to a hate crime, but with Episode 9 I'm actually kind of inclined to agree with the Marvel stans. It was an objectively creative and provocative episode which delivered on action and entertainment. It's like the series is finally starting, and it's good!
