Microsoft Introduces X-Men 97 XBox Series X And Controllers

Microsoft Introduces X-Men 97 XBox Series X And Controllers

, , , , , 0

X-Men 97, currently running through its first season on Disney+, is a spectacular revival of one of the 90s’ most beloved cartoons. I suppose we can count the C-suite at Microsoft among their fans, as they’ve just revealed a special XBox Series X with a custom paint job in honor of the series. The special design is a series of comic panels depicting the X-Men battling the Sentinels and Master Mold that wraps around the console’s shell. It wasn’t ripped from a comic, it was written by Rich Douek and drawn by artist Paco Diaz specifically for this console. And that’s not all! Microsoft also went through the trouble of painting eleven XBox controllers in the colors of every X-Men member from the show. Wolverine, Storm, Rogue, Morph, Magneto, Jubilee, Gambit, Jean Grey, Cyclops, Beast and Bishop are all represented and come sealed in blister packages. Sounds great, so where can you buy them? ….Um, nowhere. This isn’t a product intended for sale. It’s a contest prize. To enter, you

First Clip From X-Men 97 Released

First Clip From X-Men 97 Released

In 2021 Disney+ made an unexpected announcement — check that, an unX-pected announcement. The 1990s X-Men cartoon, a massive hit in its day running five seasons on Fox Kids, would be resurrected to continue right where it left off. Direct from 1997, it’s X-Men 97! Today the first full clip from the series was released…which is cutting it rather close as the actual show premieres in less than a week. The series ended with the apparent death of Professor X and the passing of the torch to Cyclops as the new leader of the X-Men. One thing about those final episodes is that the show’s budget was reduced, so the animation took a hit. As you can see from this clip, it’s received quite the glow-up from there…. If only it could’ve looked like this back then. The Sentinels are after the mutants again, and the whole gang is here to fight them, even Morph and Bishop, who only showed up on occasion. One cast member that WON’T be there?

Marvel Finally Beginning To Consider X-Men Reboot

Marvel Finally Beginning To Consider X-Men Reboot

, , , 15

It was six years ago when The Walt Disney Company first announced it was absorbing 20th Century Fox (now 20th Century Studios), and one major motive for that purchase was blatantly obvious: Disney only partially owned the movie rights to the Marvel catalogue. Marvel had given the X-Men away to Fox (as well as the Fantastic Four) and buying the studio outright would mean Disney owned the concept of a mutant again, and wouldn’t have to keep pushing “Inhumans” as a thing. Now the only major piece of Marvel that Disney can’t directly exploit is Spider-Man (unless it’s an animated TV project). But those who thought we’d be getting the X-Men in the MCU immediately after 2017 were in for a letdown. WDC chose to sit on the property for the time being, allowing the remaining handful of Fox-developed X-Men things to slowly pass through. The only current project with any real connection to it is Deadpool 3, which should be resuming production after SAG-AFTRA ends their strike. Today is

CYCLOPS CHRONICLES: The Story of Scott Summers Fan-Series Interview

CYCLOPS CHRONICLES: The Story of Scott Summers Fan-Series Interview

Movie and comic book fans alike have been waiting for years to see the X-Men cast of characters appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Radical rumors fly through the internet like Rogue through the clouds, while opinions as sharp as Wolverine’s adamantium claws face of against each other in a “Berserker Barrage” of speculation. With the promise of continuity shattering crossovers set to blow our minds in Doctor Strange In The Multiverse of Madness, perhaps the dreams of mutant loving movie-goers everywhere will soon become reality. But before Hollywood decided to pump millions into fanboy fantasy scenarios, there was another group of creative minds delivering on ideas previously discussed only in the back of comic book stores. Fan Films have been around for decades and are a genre fueled completely by passion and a desire to see adaptations of characters and stories in a way the big studios wouldn’t dare. Privately funded team-ups between Batman and Superman, Batman and The Predator, Batman and…well, Batman seems to be a very popular

DESTINY OF X, With Fox out of the way, Marvel is giving attention to X-men again

Destiny of X is the latest story arc for the X-men. After Marvel neglected this franchise to spite Fox because of their exclusive cinematic rights, X-men is back! Marvel is giving Attention to one of their premier Superhero teams. Remember the times when X-men is more popular than the Avengers? There used to be a time like that, but when Fox gets to own the Cinematic rights of X-men. They were making it seem like a Competition to the MCU. Then Marvel President Ike Perlmutter decided to utilize X-men and Mutant characters and replace them with the Inhumans. Some Mutant characters have to be retconned like the Scarlet Witch to ensure they won’t be considered Mutant anymore. X-men members were a huge part of some Marvel Events, but they never appeared on MCU adaptations. Maybe this event can lead to X-men joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Destiny of X Trailer Destiny of X will be a relaunch of X-men as a brand. Now that Disney purchased Fox, X-men is a full-time Marvel IP

The 90s X-Men Cartoon Will Be Resurrected In 2023

Disney+ Day usually brings with it way more announcements than we can count or keep track of here at PG, but this year, one announcement stood out in particular: the return of X-Men, as in the hit cartoon series from the 1990s. This is HUGE. For those who weren’t there and don’t grasp how weighty this is, without the X-Men cartoon the entirety of Marvel Studios might never have happened. Superhero properties were regarded as second rate among the studios until Fox Kids president Margaret Loesch took a chance on two: Batman: The Animated Series and X-Men. Both became huge hits and inspired countless knockoffs. X-Men went on for five seasons and was one of the first comic book adaptions to not water down its source material or cheapen it because they believed kids were dumb. Some of the greatest arcs from the comic were adapted into epic five-part storylines and kept viewers glued to their sets week after week. The massive success of the X-Men cartoon made 20th Century

The X-men name to be replaced because of complaints about the word Men

The X-men name to be replaced because of complaints about the word Men

X-men is one of the most inclusive Marvel teams out there. A lot of its members are women. Also it is the first Marvel team to include people of color like Storm. The fans of this franchise also had a rough decade of exclusion because Marvel tried so hard to replace Mutants with Inhumans just because Fox owned the cinematic rights. Now Disney owns Fox, X-men is ripe to join MCU. X-men had members of different religions, ethnicity, gender identity, sexuality, and nationality you can think of but Marvel wanted to think the word “Men” is not inclusive to women and other gender identities.   This is like when Also every entertainment writer now uses the word LatinX to describe Latinos despite most Latinos hates the word Latinx. 90% of Latinos don’t want to be called LatinX but the media said it’s their way to be inclusive of Non-binary people. There was even an attempt to call Filipinos Filipinx. Now the word men are being deleted because for some reason there are

Marvel Midnight Suns trailer, Are the X-men back?

Marvel Midnight Suns trailer, Are the X-men back?

Marvel Midnight Suns Trailer: Marvel Midnight Suns have Wolverine! Marvel Midnight Suns hyped some fans because of the presence of Wolverine, An X-men Member. I like the Presence of characters like Nico Minoru and Ghost Rider but its Wolverine who made me smile. In the last few years, Marvel has been in a streak of X-men erasure. Mutants are part of the X-men Mythos and with that, the MCU avoided the presence of Mutants altogether. Marvel even retconned the backstory of Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver in able for them to appear in MCU. Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite failed because it alienated fans because of the exclusion of characters from X-men and Fantastic 4. Capcom got the blame when it is Marvel who makes the decisions on who will make the roster. Marvel decided to make the roster focus on MCU. In the comics, there was a time where Marvel is pushing the Inhumans as a replacement for Mutants. There was a huge push to make Inhumans happen like Fetch. It

Arcade 1Up Reveals Killer Instinct, Dragon’s Lair, X-Men And More

Arcade1Up is going to have a packed 2021. They just revealed their lineup of new products for the next few months, and there are some real killers coming your way, if you have the instinct. Look at this lovely machine! An authentic recreation of the Killer Instinct arcade unit — we never thought we’d see that, especially with the 90s Rare logo stamped all over it. Rare released four arcade games during the brief period they made them, and all four are playable here: KI, KI 2, Battletoads, and Battletoads / Double Dragon. The Big Important Question is if the Killer Instinct cabinet says “COMING IN THE FALL OF 1995, FOR YOUR NINTENDO ULTRA 64!!” when you turn it on. Unfortunately the arcade KI is already available for XBox One and the message has been removed there. If an altered version already exists, and Arcade1Up has never licensed anything from Nintendo, we don’t expect to get that message on the machine. Worse comes to worse, you can always hack it

Can X-men recover as an IP now that Marvel owns it cinematically again?

Can X-men recover as an IP now that Marvel owns it cinematically again?

Can X-men regain it’s glory?   Remember the time when X-men is the most popular superhero team in the Marvel Universe? Yes, at a certain point, X-men was more popular than the Avengers. What happened? Well, Marvel is responsible for that. Back in 1993, Marvel was financially suffering. As a mode of Survival, they sold the movie rights of X-men and the Fantastic 4 to 20th century Fox. I am not really a fan of most X-men films because they took way too much liberties that it’s revolting. The only X-men film I liked is Logan. Years later Marvel tried to get X-men back so it can join the MCU but Fox refused. It made Ike Perlmutter, the then CEO of Marvel, decided to replace mutants with Inhumans. Being a Mutant is part of the X-men mythos hence making them a Fox property. It started by retconning the state of being mutants by many characters. Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver were offsprings of Magneto. A retcon happened in the comics. Wanda
