After many weeks away we return to X-Men: The Animated Series, and it’s the season one finale. It’s a big one - how big? So big that Professor X does a suicide bombing mission in a plane full of clearly marked TNT. It’s wild.
Before that we have a very lengthy news segment. We talk about Marvel’s Midnight Suns, a new Marvel superheroes video game that we both love and that is much weirder than you think it might be. We talk about how It’s ok for ant-man to go big after two movies of smaller, lower stakes films. We argue about how old Doctor Doom should be in the upcoming Fantastic Four movie and whether or not he should still have been Reed Richards’ college roommate. And we spend a bunch of time talking about the idea that there is too much Marvel stuff, an idea not backed by reality and an idea shot down by the incredible diversity at the box office right now. If you don’t care about any of these topics skip to 55:02 to get right to Professor X doing 9/11.
We shall return next week for our 97th episode of this show! We are rapidly approaching 100 - should we do something special to mark the occasion? Let us know what you think.
Thanks for listening and see you next week!
