X-Men ‘97 + more superhero movies and tv – Super SideshowDec 03, 2021
X-Men ’97! Tolerance is Extinction - Part 1 (S1E8) Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Prime Sentinels
Do you want to see Wolverine and Nightcrawler slash up a bunch of Prime Sentinels? How about Cable, Jean Grey, and Cyclops jump out a plane in a Porsche and then plow through a mountain? What about social commentary about immigration and birth rates? We got that all here and more in this episode of the Super Sideshow podcast! Plus Jay uses the wrong microphone for recording!

Yes, Nightcrawler fights with three swords. It’s awesome.
https://www.cbr.com/x-men-nightcrawler-sword-swashbuckler-debut/
The relationship between Cable, Jean and Scott is complicated in the comics and in this episode as well.
https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Nathan_Summers_(Earth-616)
I can’t tell you all the cameos I saw in this episode. Dr. Doom. Baron Zemo. Omega Red. Spider-man. There was a lot.
The show is very smartly written, discussing modern issues that we are dealing with in real life.

X-Men ’97! Bright Eyes (S1E7) Captain America, Cable, Bastion
We’re coming closer and closer to the season finale. We finally know who the Big Bad is. Captain America shows up? Rogue shows off? And Cable shows up. Just another day with our dysfunctional mutant family on this episode of Super Sideshow podcast.

Bastion is complicated. Basically, he’s the merging of Nimrod, a super sentinel from the future, and Mother Mold, a sentinel that gives birth to other sentinels. Hey, you asked!

Rogue got her powers from Carol Danvers, by the way.

X-Men ’97! Lifedeath 2. (S1E6) Shi’ar, Storm & Forge, Professor X

The Shi’ar and the Kree were a big part of this episode, and contributed more to the history of the Marvel universe. Nice that this show is showing all angles from the comics, especially the Cosmic ones.
https://www.cbr.com/marvel-comics-largest-empires/
From the title montage, we got some hints that Nimrod could be coming, which will be real bad for the X-men.

X-Men: Days of Future Past (145)
We look at the re-imagined X-men! After the terrible X-men: The Last Stand, can this movie fix some of the problems? Who are all these characters? And how much is comic accurate? Find out on this edition of Super Sideshow Podcast!

Show notes.
The movie is based on the comic, which is probably one of the most important comics for X-men or Marvel. In the comic, Kitty does send her mind into the past and Mystique is connected to an assassination attempt.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Days_of_Future_Past
This was easily the best movie, and most successful, movie of the X-men franchise. And it fixes all the problems from X-men: The Last Stand.
https://movieweb.com/x-men-days-of-future-past-best-why/
Bishop is a time-traveller in the comics, coming from a future much like the one in the movie. But, we don’t know much about his situation in the movie. Still, it’s cool he was in the movie.
https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Lucas_Bishop_(Earth-1191)
Yes, Quicksilver is Magneto’s son. But, things are always complicated in the comics.
https://www.marvel.com/articles/comics/scarlet-witch-and-magneto-history-in-the-comics
The ending with Mystique doesn’t make a bunch of sense, especially if you watch the next movies.
https://screenrant.com/x-men-days-future-past-stryker-twist-explained/
There is a “Rogue cut” that has lots of interesting changes to the original.
https://screenrant.com/xmen-days-future-past-rogue-cut-every-change/
The end credit scene is so cool!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EywrnmHS73o
Apparently, Bryan Singer was not easy to work with.
Some cool trivia from IMDB about this movie…
“Sir Patrick Stewart and Sir Ian McKellen had make-up applied to look twenty years older than their actual ages.”
“For her role as Mystique, Jennifer Lawrence had worn full-body prosthetics in X-Men: First Class (2011), consisting of appliances that were glued onto her body. However, not only were these uncomfortable, she also became unwell from inhaling particles coming from these appliances, and the make-up department couldn't guarantee that these weren't bad for her health. For this sequel, Lawrence would only return if they found a way around this, so a special bodysuit was created for her that was safer and much easier to put on.”
“When Matthew Vaughn was going to direct, he was going to make this movie a direct sequel to X-Men: First Class (2011), and have it set in the 1970s. Early ideas included an opening with the Kennedy assassination being caused by Magneto, and mutant encounters set during the Civil Rights movement and the Vietnam War. When Singer took over, he integrated these concepts into a viral marketing campaign to set up the action of the movie.”

Loose Threads of the MCU (143)
We are in a great spot to go over all the plot holes and loose threads from the MCU! There are a bunch, but we are professionals! We only argue about time travel for a little bit. Join us as we talk about where the MCU is going and where it isn’t!
Jay’s
Where did the ten rings come from? What's up with Justin Hammer from Iron Man 2? Is Wanda Maximoff a Mutant or not? The third personality in Moon Knight. Steve Rodgers at the end of Endgame. Hulk's son at the end of She-Hulk. Dr. Strange and his third eye, and also Charlize Theron. Where are the Eternals and what is up with the Black Knight. Is Kingpin dead or what at the end of Hawkeye? (Duh!) Where is Kang at the end of Ant-Man 3? What is Starlord doing? What is America Chavez doing?
Mike’s
Where did Wong take Shang-Chi? What’s up with Eros / Starfox? That freaking marble celestial in the middle of the ocean. Wasn’t there a thing about Stark tech being stolen in a movie? How did Yelena Belova get mixed up with Kate Bishop’s mom and why is she going to be in the Thunderbolts instead of the new Avengers? Peter Parker. Hercules shows up at the end of Love and Thunder. What’s up with him? Does he really go after Thor or do they cut that dumb idea off? Little T’challa. Namor. Just chilling underwater these days? White Vision! You’d think he stands out. Will we ever see Moon Knight again? What about Loki and the TVA? Let’s talk about where Ms. Marvel & Hawkeye go from here.

Secret Invasion Finale! The Secret was that it was awful. (125)
We’ve found it, everyone. The worst MCU exercise. We didn’t even know it could be this bad. Join us while we complain and worry about a movie and television franchise that has made billions of dollars and probably will continue to do so.

Show notes.
Instead of a long Bourne movie, we get a Wrestle-mania ending that breaks about every rule of story telling and made-up science.
The ending also calls into question how all this is going to come back up in The Marvels. Maybe this will make more sense in November?
How long has James Rhodes been in stasis? Some are saying he’s been there since Civll War. WHICH IS INSANE.
Is the MCU just creatively dead?
The end of Secret Invasion was so bad, it caused Jay to question his affection of the franchise. Here are some more of his thoughts in written form.

Shout out to the show for highlighting the importance of literature, especially poetry. You should read all of Raymond Carver’s poem.
Also, we have to note the double entendre of the word “Beloved” in relation to two Black actors discussing poetry.
I have some serious issues with the “attack” on the President, but Talos being killed was both sad and uninteresting at the same time. (Fun fact! In the comics, Talos is one of the few Skrulls that cannot shape-shift).
We learn that Gravik is searching for “The Harvest,” which is a collection of DNA from Avengers: Endgame. Letting the Skrulls have that would be…bad.
We know that James Rhodes, the REAL Rhodey, is going to come out of all this somehow….
But, the upcoming Armor Wars is going to be a lot different than the comics.

Yes, Super-Skrulls are in the comics. Well, I mean, mainly one Super-Skrull.
We’ve actually had other Super-Skrulls. During the Secret Invasion comic run, more Skrulls became “Super.”
And it looks like Gravik has gotten some Extremis abilities!

Nick Fury is married. To a Skrull.
There are 1 million Skrulls on Earth, and they've been here for at least 5 years. They are in every branch of every government in the world. There was a mission of a Skrull colony ruled by a Skrull Empress. We'll get to that.
Rhodey is back! And, I mean, he's a little bit of a jerk.
Did we mention that Nick Fury is married to a Skrull! But, in the comics, being married to a Skrull isn't that unusal.
Oh, and it looks like Skrulls are going to get some super powers. Or, at least that's what they are trying to do.

Show notes.
Nick Fury has been hanging out on S.A.B.E.R, a space station designed to protect Earth from Space threats. It's based on the organization S.W.O.R.D. It's a whole thing.
Talos is from the comics, but the MCU version is much better and far more in-depth.
Yes, G'iah is from the comics, but this is a totally different version of her.
In the comics, this all started when the Illuminati (Black Bolt, Namor, Reed Richards, Professor X and Iron Man) went to the Skrull homeworld and destroyed their capital city. The Skrulls were, uh, not happy about that.
In the comics, Skrulls can be easily detected. They had to motify themselves in order to go undetected by humans. The same concept is happening in this show. Fun Fact: there were tons of Skrulls in Marvel Comics for years but they didn't know they were Skrulls. Could characters in the MCU that we've loved for so long be Skrulls? Who knows!

X-Men: The Last Stand (119)
X-Men: The Last Stand wasn’t as bad as Mike remembers is being, so he asks Jarvis to explain why it’s so bad. And it has a lot to do with how this X-Men movie is more like the cartoon than the comics. Plus, it’s just not very good. But maybe it isn’t horrible.

Show notes.
There are way, way too many great voice actors in this movie.
One of the biggest concepts that the movie works with is Miles Morales. Even in the comics, Miles is unique among all the variations of Spider-Man. It’s not just his ethnicity, but the fact that he is well outside the story telling connections of Peter Parker.
The same is true of Miguel O’Hare, who was also created outside of the Peter Parker mythos. Note: Miguel O’Hare is not as “intense” as this movie portrays him. And Lyla is from the comics, too. Shout out to my man Peter David.
Yes, the Spider-Verse is a “thing.” This movie did a great job combining the MCU’s overall idea of a Multiverse with the Spider-Verse. (I hope you guys caught the Earth-199999 reference)
Brilliant work with the Spot.

Show notes.
In the comics, Nightcrawler is the child of Mystique and was given up by his mother. He was informally adopted by a Romani queen and was raised in a traveling circus–not the Munich circus as in the movies.
Lady Deathstrike is a cyborg with a mechanized body and Adamantium claws in the comics. She originated in Japan and has an irrational hatred of Wolverine which led her to America and association with William Stryker.
William Stryker was a sergeant in the army and is associated with the Weapon X program that gave Wolverine his Adamantium skeleton. He has a very dark origin story that led to his own irrational hatred of Professor X.
Mastermind is not the son of William Stryker. He was recruited away from a carnival into the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants by Magneto. In the Brotherhood, his teammates were Toad, Scarlet Witch, and Quicksilver.

High Evolutionary has a lot more to do with Adam Warlock than Rocket Raccoon in the comics.
