# X-Men '97 Season 2 ReviewRC the Commission and co-host Sam Howe break down the highs and lows of X-Men '97 Season 2, from the show's crowded storytelling and uneven pacing to the emotional fallout around Magneto, Gambit, Rogue, and Wolverine. They also look ahead to Season 3, including where the series might go with Graydon Creed, Onslaught, Krakoa, and a more politically charged mutant conflict.## Key topics- In this episode, RC the Commission and Sam Howe give their overall Season 2 score and both settle on a mixed response, with Sam landing at a 6 out of 10.- They argue that the season felt wildly uneven, especially after the Wolverine standalone episode, which Sam calls the standout of the season.- They discuss how the season seemed to suffer from rewrites after Bo DeMeo's exit, including the possibility that an originally planned 10 episode season was cut down.- They compare Season 2 to Season 1, saying the first season worked better because it had decades of X-Men history to build on, while Season 2 had to build mostly from scratch.- They criticize the back half of the season for feeling overloaded, with too many characters and arcs competing for space, including Polaris, Danger, Gambit, Rogue, Storm, Weapon X, and X-Factor.- They talk about how the season often used characters as plot pieces rather than giving them meaningful development, especially Rogue, Storm, Mystique, and Graydon Creed.- They break down the Gambit storyline and say his return, sacrifice, and emotional payoff felt muddled despite the character's importance.- They praise Nightcrawler's trial scene with Graydon Creed as one of the best character moments of the season, especially for how it handled forgiveness and self hatred.- They say the show lost some of its political edge in the second half, with Graydon Creed's rise to power feeling rushed and underexplained.- They look ahead to Season 3 and expect the series to move toward a stronger mutant versus government conflict, possibly involving Krakoa, Onslaught, and a more adversarial Xavier and Cyclops dynamic.## Timestamps00:00 - Opening the Season 2 review and setting expectations 00:43 - First impressions and overall score 01:57 - Why Season 2 felt more crowded than Season 1 04:08 - Original plans for Onslaught, Polaris, and the Age of Apocalypse 06:05 - Rogue, Storm, and the emotional weight problem 07:31 - Why the Wolverine episode worked and where it fell short 09:24 - Death, resurrection, and why consequences felt cheap 11:31 - Story prioritization over character development 13:13 - The abandoned Onslaught setup and rewritten back half 16:35 - Xavier and Magneto as emotional subtext 18:35 - The season's weakened political viewpoint 20:55 - Graydon Creed, Val Cooper, and rushed government plotting 24:06 - Nightcrawler's standout trial scene 25:42 - Why Danger EXE was the weakest episode 27:48 - Too many new characters, too little time at the school 29:24 - Why Season 1 felt more specific and satisfying 31:18 - Where Season 3 could go from here 34:15 - Xavier and Cyclops as morally gray leaders 39:29 - Thoughts on casting and the MCU's mutant setup 41:34 - How Spider-Man: Brand New Day overstuffed its story 43:14 - Early casting reactions, including Adam Driver as Mr. Sinister 45:36 - Krakoa, Genosha, and the next mutant status quo 47:02 - Favorite part of the season: returning to the X-Men world 49:47 - Worst part of the season: lack of direction and consequence 51:17 - Why Gambit's arc was the biggest disappointment 52:44 - Favorite late-season moment: Xavier's attack on Apocalypse 53:47 - Why Season 3 needs to arrive faster and do more 55:07 - Closing thoughts and Patreon shoutout## Notable quotes> “It is a wildly uneven season.”> “The best writing is so specific that it becomes universal.”> “I need to go back and watch anything from my childhood.”

Alex and GreGor brainstorm wild combos using Weapon X, Killmonger, and Tombstone, but ultimately worry that it falls prey to Stardust and Cosmo far too easily.Join Alex Coccia and special guest GreGor as they chat about this and more on this episode of The Snap Chat—and catch Cozy and Alex every week as they discuss all things Marvel Snap.Have a question or comment for Cozy and Alex?

Logan hasn't always been the greatest guy. He is the best at what he does and (in this case) he's the best at putting the lives of people he doesn't really like that much, with one exception, at risk. JC and Rod dive into this horror and easter egg filled episode as the halfway point of Season 2 as Morph, Sabretooth, Lady Deathstrike and Maverick head to the Weapon X facility for two big surprises. A video version of this podcast is also available on YouTube and Facebook. It's the only way to see Rod's cat.

Wolverine is on one single mission: get back his adamantium! But he doesn't tell anyone on his team, not even Morph, and that leads to some trouble and some broken trust And just when you think that's all that's going on, surprise! The Brood are here as well! The aliens like creatures are here to steal mutant bodies to breed with and it's a fury of survival to get out of there alive!

We review X-Men '97 Season 2 Episodes 4 & 5 (The Rise of Apocalypse Part 2 & Weapon X, Lies, and DVDs). Then we get into some X-Men comics from Marvel including X-Men 33 and Uncanny X-Men 31.

Wolverine confronts the ghosts of Weapon X while Daeron steps into the fire at Tumbleton. This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl are digging into two episodes packed with old enemies, buried secrets, questionable alliances, and families that probably should have tried therapy. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 DC Studios Chat: 9:06 X-Men ’97 Season 2 Episode 5: House of the Dragon Season 3 Episode 4: X-Men '97 (Disney+) X-Men '97, Season 2 Episode 5 Title: Weapon X, Lies, and DVDs Air date: July 15, 2026 Director: Chase Conley Writers: Anthony Sellitti, Brian Ford Sullivan, and JB Ballard Summary: Wolverine and Morph assemble a volatile team of former Weapon X subjects and enemies to destroy the program's latest experiment. Their mission quickly turns into a mutant horror story involving the Brood, Omega Red, mutated wildlife, and the lingering damage caused by Dr. Cornelius. As the team fights to survive, Morph discovers Logan has been hiding his true objective: finding a way to restore the adamantium Magneto ripped from his body. The episode blends Weapon X nostalgia, science-fiction horror, and Wolverine's habit of manipulating the people closest to him. Ration out of 5, Full Metal Logan is Here Too Soon Brian: 4/5 Darryl: 4/5 House of the Dragon (HBO Max) House of the Dragon, Season 3 Episode 4 Title: Tumbleton Air date: July 12, 2026 Director: Clare Kilner Writer: David Hancock Summary: Ormund Hightower occupies Tumbleton and begins shaping the real Daeron Targaryen into a potential Hightower-controlled king. In King's Landing, Rhaenyra faces growing unrest, financial problems, and graffiti branding her the “Queen of Bastards,” while her response becomes increasingly authoritarian. Daemon discovers that Rhaena is Sheepstealer's rider and returns with a lie designed to protect his daughter. Elsewhere, Aegon searches for Sunfyre, Aemond remains missing, and Alicent learns that Helaena is pregnant. The episode establishes Ormund as a major threat while forcing Daeron to take his first brutal step toward becoming the man Ormund wants him to be.

Our very first Wolverine-centric episode is packed with lots of easter eggs! Planet X-Men returns to discuss!

Wolverine and Morph team up with a ragtag band of former enemies to take down Weapon X's newest deadly creation. #xmen97

Weapon X, lies, and DVDs perfectly describe this episode.We watch Wolverine step into a leadership role, but it quickly becomes clear that leading a team isn't one of Logan's strengths, at least not without a little help from his biggest admirer, Morph. The episode leans heavily into horror elements while revealing a side of Wolverine that neither of our hosts expected to see.What did you think of the latest episode?

Bob and Matt discuss "Weapon X, Lies, and DVDs".

“Weapon X, Lies, and DVDs” picks up from the post-credits tease of the previous episode, with Wolverine “getting the band back together” to invade Weapon X. The episode in fact reassembles the members of Team X from the original animated series: Lady Deathstrike, Kane, Maverick, and Sabretooth, with Morph along as pilot and emotional support for Logan.Hosted on Ausha.

Out this week, we sat down with writer Dan Watters and artist Pye Parr to discuss updating the classic property, designing its iconic vehicles, and why M.A.S.K. offers a unique perspective within the larger Energon Universe. We're running the full uncut interview, featuring even more discussion on cool cars, character dynamics, action sequences, and what readers can expect from the series moving forward. Plus, we recap the biggest comics news of the week, share our favorite new releases, and much more.

Dave: X-Men United #4 (Kris Anka Cover) Chris: Spectacular Spider-Man: Brand New Day #2 (Phil Jimenez and Alex Sinclair Main) Dan Watters Pye Parr - MASK #1 out June 10th  M.A.S.K. has always had a unique place in Hasbro history, sitting somewhere between G.I. Joe, Transformers, and its own thing. What aspects of the original property were most important to preserve, and where did you see opportunities to reinvent it for the Energon Universe? Matt Trakker's introduction is fascinating because he's being hunted by the military, yet it quickly becomes clear he wants to be captured. Why was that the right way to introduce him, and what does it reveal about who he is in this version of M.A.S.K.? Miles Mayhem comes across as both calculating and completely unhinged. His fear of Transformers and extraterrestrial threats gives him a very different motivation than a typical villain. What interested you about making him someone who might see himself as humanity's last line of defense? One of the most exciting ideas in M.A.S.K. has always been vehicles transforming into weapons and armor systems. Pye, what was the challenge of updating those iconic transformations for modern audiences while still capturing the toyetic fun fans expect? Dan, after writing Destro, what was appealing about tackling another corner of the Energon Universe? Did your experience with Destro help shape how you approached M.A.S.K., or did you want this book to have a completely different flavor? The first issue hints at a larger arms race involving technology and weapons that may not even originate on Earth. How much of M.A.S.K. is a spy thriller versus a science-fiction story, and where does it fit tonally alongside Transformers, G.I. Joe, and Void Rivals? Bruce Sato and Gloria Baker are positioned as key new recruits. What qualities do they bring to M.A.S.K. that complement or challenge Matt Trakker's leadership style? The original M.A.S.K. comic debuted in 1987 and had a very different view of global threats and military organizations. Were there any specific elements from that era that you deliberately updated to reflect modern anxieties and geopolitics? Fun question: If you could each claim one M.A.S.K. vehicle and mask from the entire franchise to use in real life for a week, which would you pick and what completely irresponsible thing would you do with it?

In this episode of The Marvelists, Peter and Eddie sit down with acclaimed cartoonist and Hulk: Grand Design creator Jim Rugg to discuss his new book Wolverine: Weapon X – An Exploration. Jim breaks down Barry Windsor-Smith's legendary 1991 Weapon X storyline — its brutal cyberpunk horror, groundbreaking art, psychological depth, and lasting impact on Wolverine and Marvel Comics.
