HEY GUYSSSS HUGE X-MEN 97’ EPISODE 5 SPOILERS AND ANALYSIS BELOWWW
Basically I’m doing an analysis on what I think happened and what some of this shit means
Remember these are my personal opinions and I would LOVE to know what you guys think!
- I really liked that this episode was centered around Morph. I was worried they were going to center it around Wolverine so I’m really glad they didn’t.
- I also liked that Morph had a ton of lines, this kinda goes with being the main character or center of the episode so some good Morph scene time!!
- I also loved that Morph had more serious moments. I feel like they usually use them for like a comedy relief, so seeing them have a in depth plot was so cool!!
- I also loved the part where Morph talks about how Logan saved them before, so they are going to save him now. I feel like that really helps connect the original show to the show now, especially for Morph. I feel like sometimes it’s easy to think that these characters, especially Morph, can become disconnected and feel like the are from a different timeline compared to the original, but they are in fact the same timeline.
-Never in my life did I EVER think I would hear Morph utter the words “Hey Alphas” and I feel like we need to talk more about that.
Things I don’t understand:
-What does the last scene mean?? I have two theories as to what it means so lmk what y’all think. Personally, I think the first one is more likely.
1. That was Morph expressing that they are mad at Logan for not telling them the real reason they went the to Weapon X base and are upset he lied and put everyone at risk.
2. Logan knows how Morph feels (asking him to spit it out) And then Logan saying “Some of us can only be one thing” was him telling Morph he is like straight or smth
-Why the FUCK is Logan still caught up on Jean? AND TELL ME WHY when Morph poured their heart out to him and told him “your the only one who cared about me” THAT WASN’T ENOUGH FOR HIM TO SNAP OUT OF IT but the SECOND Morph becomes Jean all the sudden he is like “oh shit I stabbed Jean”
SO WE WILL STAB OUT BEST FRIEND BUT NOT JEAN RIGHT
I’m honestly so sick of the Logan and Jean shit it’s so old, boring and overused. Like you’d think he would have grown a pair by now and moved on but no. And I’m not just saying this because I want him to be with Morph (though I do want that). I think it hinders him as a character because every time he has a weakness, it’s just Jean or Jean getting hurt, so stupid and boring
The fact Morph knows this too also makes me violently sick.
Things that broke my heart
-The final two lines: “ Doesn’t that make you sad? It makes me sad Logan.”
I don’t know this felt really raw and emotional to me ESPECIALLY coming from a character that jokes around all the time. You can hear the break in their voice which makes me so sad, because they care so deeply for Logan and at this point, I can tell Logan doesn’t feel the same(I hope Marvel proves me wrong and this changes).
I really liked this episode! I thought it was really good in all aspects. Ik it seems like I’m hating but I actually really enjoyed this episode and think is beneficial for the story line. I hope we get more Morph content because I’m biased and love Morph.
Thanks for coming to my TedTalk!
