"People wouldn't invent anything if there was no profit motive."

Well, that's clearly a lie.

One detail I appreciated from X-men 97's devastating episode "Remember It" is that it officially solidified Magneto as a Holocaust survivor.

When the original series was made in the 90s, censors were twitchy about cartoons referencing (even obliquely) the Nazis or their atrocities. That was why Magneto's backstory was a generic war-torn Eastern Europe, shown by that infamous scene where Xavier makes him relive the trauma.

Come this series, we do start getting allusions to Magneto's background; most notably during his speech to the UN.

But this image, especially with the inclusion of the patches, removes all ambiguity.

I am still not over the fact that Magneto immobilized both Rogue and Gambit to stop them from doing something stupid and then sheltered them with his last power.

Because he knows Rogue would jump into the pits of hell after him and Gambit would follow her every time.

X-Men '97 creator Beau DeMayo says Episode 5 was just “our warm-up” “Episode 8-10 is my big one ;)"

Oh damn the Catholics have joined in on the war against AI "art".

This is why diversity among the X-Men is so important. Because it gives lines like this layers.

This isn't just a mutant talking to a mutant. It's a Black woman talking to a Native man.
