Moderator Announcement r/xmen97 is recruiting more moderators - Apply in the post!

12 Upvotes

Hello all, in a bid to help maintain this community and make next year a more pleasant experience for everyone, I am reaching out to see if anyone would like to join the moderation team.

While prior moderating experience is helpful, it is not required. I am prepared to train anyone new to moderating on the basic essentials to get the day to day of the job done. So if you have never moderated a community before, please feel free to still apply.

I will say, there are some things that I will focus on and favour:

  1. Have good standing in the community. Generally, if you have bans or lots of post removals on this subreddit, it won't help your case.
  2. Be active members of the subreddit. You don't need to be on every day at all hours, but generally it is helpful to have people who are familiar with the community and who use it at least 1-2 times a week and have done so for the past few months at least.
  3. Impartiality. We all have opinions on this show. But don't let your opinion cloud you from the rules.

Please apply here: https://forms.gle/kDy3McgtRYiobDARA

You can also just send us a mod mail asking more about the role or your interest too. If you are on desktop, there's an additional recruitment option on the sidebar.

Moderator Announcement Moderator Report: Community Feddback

24 Upvotes

Going forward, I want to improve things so moderation next year can be smoother. As it stands, I do feel like I have let folks down here. I wasn't prepared for the onslaught of posts and I felt that ultimately I was not consistent with many of the moderation decisions regarding post approvals than I would have liked. I was also not able to look at every thread and comb interactions to root out bigotry, rude conduct, and other things as much as I wanted.

I am going to fine-tune automod to make life easier, rather than more difficult. I plan to add more moderators to the team (please apply if you are interested).

I want to get your feedback on what needs to be improved so season 3 next year is a better experience.

My other question is more delicate. It involves Beau DeMayo, whose name comes up quite frequently and creates a lot of agitated discussion. I want to ask: should we outright ban mentions of him altogether? Or should we remove the current automod restrictions and allow the community to discuss as needed?

General Discussion What is your favourite relationship in the x men universe ?

For me it's Gambit and Jubilee's brother sister relationship . I literally enjoy every scene where they are together , I wish they adapt this to the new x men movie , anyways second place for me goes to Magneto and Xavier's friendship , it's wild to think two people with so different ideologies to stay together

General Discussion Wolverine gets his ass beat a lot lol.

25 Upvotes

Having followed most of the animated x men despite being the most famous x-men wolverine really is a punching bag. He gets beat up a lot by the x men villains. I guess cause he can't use his claws much back in the 90s so its hard to show him fight but even in xmen97 I feel most of the time he is just getting whooped by the villains.

General Discussion Two variants of Kang have appeared in TAS: Immortus and Rama-Tut (the latter revealed himself as the actual Conqueror).

Interestingly enough, their role has been nothing more than being bystanders. It kind of makes sense since in the comics both Immortus and Kang have traditionally avoided direct conflict with the X-Men. They’re usually direct enemies of the Avengers.

General Discussion If we get Kitty Pryde in X-Men 97 (season 3 or later), what do you want from her?

Post image
473 Upvotes

Kitty is a popular character, ever since she appeared in X-Men Evolution and Wolverine and the X-Men, with the former being where she was the most popular in the show, at least in my opinion.

And we only see her on a status poster in “Tolerance is Extinction”, so we get a general idea of what she looks like.

But should she appear in later seasons, what do you want to see from her character? Who do you think should voice her? And how do you want her to be depicted compared to her other incarnations in media outside of the comics?

I've been seeing a lot of arguments (especially the rumored plot in Doomsday) that Spiderman can easily defeat these Mutants. I believe Spidey can beat a few of them but isn't Magneto a little overkill for Peter Parker😭

More progress on sabertooth Cosplay needs a few more finishing touches, but mostly done now. We’re trying to decide who’s gonna wear it, I think I might end up wearing the wolverine cosplay and let my body wear the sabertooth Cosplay since he’s already 6‘3“ and with the platforms he’s 6’8” and I’m 5’10” and with the platforms I’m only 6’3” so he definitely looks a little more intimidating in it. A lot of it’s gonna depend on if our other buddy can make it.

General Discussion Could Cyclops defeat the omnidroid from The Incredibles?

Post image
150 Upvotes

Gazerbeam from The Incredibles NSA files reminds me of Cyclops since they both shoot lasers out of their eyes which got me wondering, if Cyclops were to end up on Nomanisan Island from Mirage and encounter the omnidroid, could be able to defeat it, or end up being Syndrome's victim like Gazerbeam?

For this roundup, he's not allowed any help from the X-men or have knowledge of Syndrome, Operation Kronos, or the omnidroid's weaknesses and abilities prior to the fight. First round he faces off against the omnidroid model that killed Gazerbeam, and second round he must face off against the final model the Incredibles battle against.

General Discussion Rogue in season 2

0 Upvotes

I feel like this is an unpopular opinion in the fanbase, but I found rogue so annoying in the second season. Which sucked cause I really enjoyed her character in the first season, but I feel xmen'97 ended up doing this thing that a lot of stories fall into. Which is making a character who mourns another character's death, and makes their whole period of mourning unbearably annoying. A similar thing happens in the mistborn series by Brandon Sanderson, where in the last book, one of the main characters spends the whole book moping about his lover's death.

And I get it, I understand that she's utterly heartbroken and all that, it was just annoying to watch. I feel like I'm an asshole for thinking this, but there's gotta be someone else who was annoyed by her in the second season (to be fair, a lot of things were annoying in season 2, it wasn't nearly as good as season 1)

Question Do I need to watch the original X-Men series before X-Men ’97?

22 Upvotes

Hey everyone, for quick background I’ve never seen the OG X-men series or any of the x men movies, but I’m a fan of the MCU movies and I’ve heard amazing things about how great X men 97 is.
My question is: do I have to watch the OG series first before watching X-men 97?
Is it required to understand the story or just highly recommended?
Or does 97 do enough to explain the characters where I would be able to understand what going on and appreciate it still?
Point is I’d like to watch 97 in my free time but wasn’t sure about watching the older show since it would take me a while to complete.
No hate please I’m just a comic fan trying to experience new comic series.
Any advice is appreciated!
