    I didn’t notice any of them but Phase Zero or someone pointed it out as I was listening. Also, Cloak and Dagger was a strange cameo choice.

    There’s like 40 seconds of a slowed down string version of the theme song near the end and it’s strangely beautiful

    If they wanted to make a new 90's-style spider-man cartoon and include them in it, i wouldn't be against it.

    Probably but to be honest I was so shell shocked at the end of 5 I have no idea what was going on

    I binged through the 90s animation series over the last 3-4 months before watching the new stuff. Am I alone in not being a fan of the Apocalypse stuff in the original series? I remember it being kind of cool at first, but the more he showed up I kind of thought it was boring because of how powerful he was :idk:

    I'm assuming they'll get it right considering how good this first season was, but it's why the ending of the finale didn't excite me that much.

    Watching new rockstars and some eggs they spotted I hadn’t heard yet:

    A picture in the bar could possibly be Charles and Gabby Haller (Legion’s mom)

    The scene where Charles mind wipes Erik is a carbon copy of the panel from Fatal Attraction (Onslaught)

    Bastion’s design after absorbing Cables arm is the same and when he resurrected himself with the techno-organic virus in the future.

    Creed the FoH guy is who passed Pres Kelly in the latest polling according to the news towards the end.

    True, that bowl cut on the War horseman hasn't aged well.
    but if they bring in Gambit as Death in a future season...

    As well as the 3 “missing” characters we didn’t see at the end:

    Wolvie - War

    Morph - Pestilence

    Obviously Erik is his first name, David is the voice actor from the old show, Ian McKellan and Michael Fassbender played Magneto in the films.

    Late to the party, just watched this. Awesome like everyone said.

    What other animated series are in the ballpark of this as far as quality/badass?

    That matches X97? Probably not unless you go the anime route. The new Spider-Man show on D+ is really good. Earths Mightiest Hero’s is the classic avengers cartoon. Invincible on Prime is really good. I’m sure there’s some DC stuff on HBO that’s good but all I watch is Harley Quinn and that’s a comedy.

    I'm assuming you’ve watched the original? Sticking with the 90s vibe you can’t go wrong with Spider-Man: The Animated Series and Batman: The Animated Series.

    Yes, I watched all of original before doing 97. Crazy how many episodes of the original I feel like I saw as a kid, come to find out every ep I saw back in the day was from somewhere in the first season.

    I knew nothing would be directly as good so that's why I asked for ballpark. Appreciate the Batman, Spiderman, and TMNT 2012 recs.

    I've seen Season 1 of Castlevania. That was badass.

    I saw there's a Spawn cartoon on HBO. Is that good?

    Scavengers Reign was pretty sick, but it's way outside the theme of traditional superhero comics

    I'm in the middle of Arcane: League of Legends, pretty good so far

    Man, no one ever dies/stays dead in this show.

    How did Professor X end up returning to Earth? I thought they said he could never return to Earth in physical form in the finale of the OG series.

    Think the two obvious answers are. The aliens lied to trick him into staying there as a snu snu pet or they assumed no one watched the end of the original.
