I'm more offended by the most bland "corporate approved" other parts of that description.
He has a "buddy relationship" with the only character that is remotely popular on the show (and is known to not be friendly with most anyone) and has a history with the main bad guy?
Literally offensively boring and executive run through.
They're in the phase of being forum moderators where their pride is hurt and they feel like wounded animals, so they're getting even dumber and more aggressive than they were before. We're going to see lots of really violent angry freakouts from these people over the next year. They should be encouraged and pushed as hard as possible.
I have no idea about shitty comics nowadays, but I assume the “97” refers to 1997?? Is this supposed to be set in 1997, and they’re making this character n0n-BiNaRy??
They're so intellectually bankrupt that they're going back to pretending it's still 1997 I guess, because they've got no clue what to do with the shit show they've created.
The 1997 setting is great opportunity to make a fun throwback with references to '90s culture. Sadly, they blew it as usual by putting "woke" ahead of "entertaining."
In 1997 we were calling each other "gay", "fag", and "retarded" (though teachers really didn't like that one because by then they were trying to convince us it was a "medical" term) and playing a game called "smear the queer".
Is this what it was like to have grown up in the 70s watching TV/movies about the 70s made in the 90s?
So... Xavier isn't in it, right? Because he fucks off at the end of the original with the Shiar because some human nutter attacks him with a psychic scrambler thing and the Shiar are the only ones that can help.
Wasn't going to anyway, because I can recognize patterns and it's something I liked 20+ years ago being remade, but they're really laying it on here even by 2024 standards.
Well, he was always the default leader of the team. Xavier ran the school and supervised the X-men.
Also, this allows Storm to tell Cyclops how many mistakes he is going to make and how oppressive his toxic masculinity is. (It’s Disney+, so I think that’s a requirement).
"interesting buddy relationship with another man."
"So.. he's gay? Like, gay for wolverine. Which, if that's what you want, whatever, but isn't it against your own 'homophobia' rules to say it that way? Just say he's gay for wolverine."
they can't say that because they know it's a damning "soundbite".
still, as devout progressives, they can't control their need to rub it in your face (they live for these moments), so they word the statement in a way that would offend everyone they wish to offend and hopefully nobody else.
It's marvel. Who the fuck would play or watch anything marvel? Marvel it's the wokest of left wing IPs. Let it die the death it deserves. No forgiveness, no second chances, no "but this one isn't woke" excuses.
Another reflag: Easter egg mentioning the Hellfire Gala. For those who don’t know, Hellfire Gala is a massive gay fashion show that turned into a mass self-insert for all modern day Marvel Comics employees.
Sou were gonna watch it if they hadn't posted this?
I loved X-Men back in the 90s. And it stayed there, where it belongs. In the past.
There's no more X-Men, there haven't been any for some 20 years or so. The comics and characters you knew no longer exist, it's all just an empty shell made for you to consoom.
Stop giving them your attention, they don't have what you're looking for (because it no longer exists).
Well I think if you could transform into anything, you'd end up at least a little bit gay. I mean zeus could transform and he fucked a bunch of animals and women while in the shape of an animal.

OK but they were literally friends in the OG
This. Wolverine goes apeshit when Morph "dies" then spends episodes trying to track him down when it turns out he's still alive.
Let's be real, means gay now
They also made Rogue less sexy which is a fucking war crime.

Doing a "lighter take" on the character with the darkest history in the show when you're pretending this is a new season is definitely a thing.

You guys stopped?
Well, the queers started smearing themselves, so there was no point.
kek
It's a continuation of the 1990s X-Men Saturday morning cartoon.
So... Xavier isn't in it, right? Because he fucks off at the end of the original with the Shiar because some human nutter attacks him with a psychic scrambler thing and the Shiar are the only ones that can help.
I will never be able to answer that question because I'm never going to know what happens in a single episode of the remake.

I found the original, archived it, and put it on my link list.
TV: X-Men 97 Bisexual Morph
The Twitter account X-Men Update has three major posts about it. Here is the announcement and a link with pictures of the magazine saying it.
https://archive.ph/0Ot8k
The post was reposted with a comment that fans who say no won't be missed.
https://archive.ph/OJKRZ
This one is a response to being told Morph is straight by fans, including one bisexual fan.

Doesnt morph die in the first episode of the x-men cartoon?
Yes.
As I recall they made a point of showing Wolverine grieving over the loss of his friend.
Yeah
Think Wolverine will be characterized similarly in the new show?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qpzmStkKyw
He gets better.
Yeah, like the old saying goes, nobody stays dead in comics except for uncle Ben and Bucky.
Implied, but he was only critically injured, captured, and mind controlled I believe.
Yes, but most importantly, he was always a dude.
Not seeing nearly enough people getting ratioed for liking it. Shame
IIRC his power was shape-shifting, so they'll probably have him be extra degenerate with it.
Did anyone expect this not to suck?
Cyclops as the leader? a straight white male? that doesn't seem very woke.
Well, he was always the default leader of the team. Xavier ran the school and supervised the X-men.
Also, this allows Storm to tell Cyclops how many mistakes he is going to make and how oppressive his toxic masculinity is. (It’s Disney+, so I think that’s a requirement).
Ah, so I guess wolverine is gay now
"interesting buddy relationship with another man."

Rogue has no ass most of the time and they gave storm the black hairstyle where the side of her head is shaved.
So rewriting him already. Nice.
Thanks for posting. I caught the trailer on YouTube this morning and completely forgot about current year. Optimistic fool that I am.
They can stick their DEI garbage where the sun don’t shine.

All western media is infected. Anime is the last bastion of hope for non faggery.
Well I think if you could transform into anything, you'd end up at least a little bit gay. I mean zeus could transform and he fucked a bunch of animals and women while in the shape of an animal.
The Minotaur comes to mind.
