Call me crazy, but I think I'd still trade Helsley at the deadline even if we climb back into the division. Not sure who he'd be replaced by though. ...

re: X Men: '97 In Season Thread

I don't think it's comparable to compare X-Men 97 to the live action MCU shows either. Animation in general is going to have a smaller audience IMO. Especially if it's not a feature film.
Measuring success for this shouldn't be the same as measuring success for Ms. Marvel or Echo or whatever MCU...

He never talked about how he came up with Spiderman until 1992 and how it was almost fly man in 2002 after Spiderman 2 came out. [/quote]

Yes you're making my point. Stan never talked about civil rights and X-Men in an interview until the X-Men movie was coming out....

[quote]Those themes can mean different things to different people.[/quote]
Ding ding ding. That's why so many people love X-Men. It's not because it was written as a civil rights allegory, but some people may take that away from it. Other connect with it for different reasons.
I just dislike ...

[quote]Is your argument against the allegory being a thing really hinged on “Claremont managed to improve literarily on something Lee acknowledged was always present”?[/quote]
So it was always the case when stan and jack created the x-men or it wasn't? the x-men were always "woke" or they weren't...

Is that why it wasn't really present until Chris Claremont started writing X-Men? and why Stan Lee wasn't on record saying it until the X-Men movie came out?

It's not. During periods of its history it has been, but that's not how it started. It's really about evolution and mutants being superior to humans and trying to co-exist wi...

I agree that it's been so minor that it doesn't ruin how fun the show has been. That said out of all the main x-men characters so far in the 10 episodes, Morph has been the...

The Iron Man series was fun, but it doesn't need a new one. I'd be perfectly fine with those characters showing up in X-Men and Spider-man. X-men was great but Spider-man was the superior series....

Yeah I admit I was worried when this came out too, but it ended up only providing a cringe awkward moment when Rogue referred to Morph as "they" after using singular pronouns for others.
