FIRST TIME WATCHING: X-Men '97 S1E8

To answer your question the movies never confirmed the nightcrawler mystique connection. But it’s from the comics and the tv show. Mystique is also rogue’s adopted mother. Which is why Nightcrawler calls Rogue his sister As to how they knew magneto lived, I have no idea lol. I didn’t think of that the first time I watched it. But I think it’s just cause they witnessed the magnetic powers and put two and two together

Such a powerful show. It’s amazing they can cram so much into 30 minute episodes 😅 The X-Men being a metaphor for POC, Queer ppl, and minority communities in general means they get some of the juiciest storylines that also hit a little close to home lol I love the way they talk about “Tolerance” in this show specifically. The idea that you have to beg people to accept you for who you are, that you’re not welcomed, you’re tolerated, and that tolerance can vanish in a second. From Roberto’s mum seemingly accepting him as a mutant, only to then ask him to essentially stay in the closet because “people are scared”, to Hank and Scott having to be interviewed to try and alleviate Human ‘concerns’. It’s a scary thought, especially these days 😅 love the reactions Natalie!

Also the movies were shit at explaining people's origins. They never said Nightcrawler is Mystique's son. And that Rogue and him are adopted siblings.

this show is so fantastic. So in this timeline Mystike (however you spell it) is very different from the movies. She is quite the villain (sometimes anti hero). She even helped Apocalpyse. Abonded Nightcrawler and was a terrible adopted mother of Rogue. Next two episodes only go up!

Unrelated, but it's time again for my bi-annual (twice a year) watchalong of the OG Avatar the Last Airbender with Nat 😅😁😁

Glad to see you are using your Youtube millions to finally get yourself some new outfits! Treat Yo Self! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSjM5B3QNlw

Happy Tuesday Nat. Cool new Tee. It's very you 😊 Really digging how this show is progressing. They really do pack so much into 30 minutes. Excited for next week's finale 💛

It’s crazy how powerful some of these mutants are like Magneto broke out of his prison and shut down all the robots & maybe the earth? Idk

Logan has been alive for 200+ years memory or no memory he knows if you don't see a body that person isn't dead.

Natalie should watch Heartstopper before season 3

Bastion’s full legal name is Sebastion Gilberti. His father was an ordinary man who was unknowingly infected by the futuristic techno-organic virus courtesy of Nimrod. Bastion was born with that same virus from day one.
