#New Rockstars

[gabbykinneysupremacy]

So… I’ve watched the original X-Men tas probably five or six times, and I was so excited for the new episodes today!!

So I broke down all the Easter eggs I saw in the first episode! I hope to do this with every episode and I’m going to start the second one tonight. This probably isn’t all of them, so comment if I missed something.

If you want a really good analysis of this episode, you should watch the YouTube channel New Rockstars. They do amazing breakdowns of everything nerdy and have the coolest merch!!

Obviously, spoilers for episode one of X-Men ‘97’

Logo update on title card

1:16: The panning of the city shows signs that advertise Ashida, Stark industries, VistaCorp and Da Costa. Noriko Ashida is mutant Surge, who was introduced in New Mutants in January of 2008. Stark industries is obviously Tony Stark. The original show featured a story with both Wolverine and Captain America, so we know the avengers exist in some form. And Da Costa: Roberto Da Costa AKA sunspot appears in the opening of the show, captured by the FOH. Sunspot made his appearance as a member of the original New Mutants.

1:20 Anti mutant graffiti and X logo spray painted over “Report Mutants” flyer on pole.

2:00 FOH has same arm bands and military style berets. They also appear to have sentinal technology as wearable weapons.

2:47 There’s a missing poster for a woman who appears to be Marrow, another frequent X-Men character and Morlock.

4:55 Daily Bugle, the news paper known to Spider-Man fans, flashes by. Again, spider man was in an episode of the original X-men animated series, confirming the universes are one. This paper advertises “Benetton’s Mutant Fashion Show”, the cover notably features four mutants, two of which are resubmit recognized and Banshee and Dust.

5:03 Gambit is rocking a crop top that says “Rock.” From the design, it looks like he cropped the shirt himself. He’s also sporting a necklace with a blue/ white gem. Here, he’s making Begets, a traditional Cajun treat, reflecting on Gambit’s own roots in the French quarter of New Orleans.

5:18 Rogue is back in her pink dress, the same dress she wore in the pilot of the original animated series.

6:54 Beasts’s book collection features Animal
Farm by George Orwell, the book he read in prison in the original series.

7:37 Both Beast and Jubilee mention that Bishop is a time traveler, but neither mention why he’s staying in their time with the X-Men.

8:52 The Danger Room simulation features the rubble of the UN, Magneto flying above it. This foreshadows later in the second episode where he does use his powers at the UN.

9:20 Jubilee lists off powers to Sunspot, asking which are his. She mentions shooting gold balls from his body, saying that would be weird. This references Goldballs, a very real and very weird X-Men.

9:57 Scott stares at a picture of the original X-Men with Xavier. In the comics, the original five are Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Angel, Ice Man and Beast. In the show, we’ve seen all five but never all together. And Angel never acknowledges being in the original X-men.

10:00 Scott and Jean talk to Dr. Cooper; aka Valerie Cooper. In comics, she’s an assistant to the president on the context of superhumans.

10:54 The team play basketball outside, just like Wolverine, Gambit and Jubilee did in the original show.

11:08 Charles’ death certificate reveals that the date of his death is 11/11/1996, and that his middle name is Francis.

12:13 Jean confirms for the first time that her and Cyclops’ baby is a boy, most likely Nathan Summers.

18:42 Jean sees a child’s hand drawing a picture when she uses cerebro. Is this a flash to the future of her son?

19:04 The baby jean holds is wrapped in a yellow X-Men blanket.

19:35 The rocks behind Jean turn into gravestones.

23:28 The sentinels call out an omega level threat. This refers to Storm’s Omega level status, one of the first times we’ve talked about power rankings in tas.

23:42 Where Storms’s lightening hits the sand, it turns into glass. This is a natural phenomenon and the glass structures are called fulgurites.

24:50 The soldiers and helicopters that come to take Trask are labeled as UN forces. They’re accompanied by Valerie Cooper, her second appearance this episode.

28:12 When Magneto moves the book, only the metal corners light up as being manipulated by his powers, just a fun detail.

And of course, updated title cards in the end credits

I gotta give mad respect to New Rockstars (the Does He Know and What Was He Cooking channel) since they do breakdowns of Easter eggs in mainly super hero movies, but for Across the Spider-Verse almost all of their videos relating to Easter eggs starts with “Gwen has a trans flag in her room and her dad wears a trans flag on his uniform, she is transgender. If you’ve got a problem with that or me saying it, get the fuck out now, I don’t want you watching my videos.”

With how shitty nerds can be I gotta respect the allyship when it’s there

Not New Rockstars getting in on this too 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Thoughts on the video below:

In true New Rockstars fashion, the title is 100% clickbait (no, the Newsweek article did not mention sex AT ALL), but the ending does build up to the joke that yes...maybe they DID fuck (if that's what you want lol)

However, I appreciate how New Rockstars did their homework and discussed in depth the Newsweek article AND Hannah Beachler's corrections on Twitter.

Even better, they showcased where they speculate the editing room cuts began and ended.

The video also delves into the Shuri, Riri, Namor science subplot that got cut out. New Rockstars guesses it had to do with the Talokan sun and I think they are guessing on the right track because of the BTS video that was shared by an actress who played a Talokanil scientist.

In her video (need to find the source), she shows a clip of her floating towards a bright glowing orb - even more evidence that Shuri and Riri were likely helping Namor with his sun.

Either way, I'm very pleased with how New Rockstars handled the discussion of this video, opting to get in on the shipping (bc it's fun!) rather than dismissing it or critiquing it. The YouTube comments are generally positive as well too.

I also still firmly believe it was 100% the right move to cut out any overt suggestions of romance between the two. It's just too soon! Feature installments can go in even further, but what we got already was great. However, I am once again asking Disney to release the Shuri and Riri Talokan scenes because I neeeeed to see more Talokan (+ Namor).

I was right now years old when I found out that Jonathan Majors was let go by Marvel

And GOOD RIDDANCE don't get me wrong (DC should do Ezra Miller next. Tbh they should've let them go a long time ago), but I just hadn't heard until seeing New Rockstars' new video

Despite the pause screen on YouTube being absolutely perfect for this exact moment, I want to share with y’all NewRockstars being hilariously awesome as always. Eric Voss narrates:

“… Then after going back and forth with Layla, Steven finally makes his move, and it is ✨awkward✨. -

[Layla] “I’m going to go down first.” / [Steven] “…Okay!” / [Layla] “…Before I belay.”

- Yes, Steven totally misinterpreted “down” to be, uh, not “belay”, but, y’know, another kind of “down”, uh, the sex kind.”

Uh, Steven, my man, your mind was positively in the gutter 😂

Like-

You’re a guy with ZERO secrets and with every emotion written all over your face 😂 No wonder Marc was mad at you 🤣
