Fascinated by the latest X-Men 97 episode because like.

Okay obviously I'm big on the Morpherine thing so everyone calling out Morph for being gay as hell for Wolverine was fantastic for me in particular. You have Yuriko all but saying 'I have feelings for this guy too and it's a terrible experience, 0/10, do not recommend' and Sabertooth either being homophobic in an incredibly gay way, trying to cuck Logan by hitting on Morph, or both.

And the ending ooooof oh my god. I love the way this conflict is positioned. Logan thinks he can only ever be one thing, that getting his adamantium back was intrinsic to who he is, and because he's an idiot who makes bad decisions that means he put people at risk to do it. But now Morph is clearly upset with him, things are tense between them, and the thing that their conversation does so well is set up the question for Wolverine. Who does he want to be. What he was before or what he could become? An animal with claws or the person Morph thinks he is?

He ends the episode still thinking about it, and that shot of him staring at his own claws while Morph looks back at him is so. It's setting it up perfectly, he's got two paths here, one is regressive and one moves forward. Does he follow his history or the person that believes in him?

I think the Jean transformation thing is part of that too, even if I wasn't a Huge fan of it because I don't fully buy into the idea that Morph doesn't hit that same instinctive button in Logan's brain after Everything he did to get them back. But I do see what it's going for. Wolverine regressed through this whole episode, he went back to who he was because he thinks it's the only path he has. His obsession with Jean is part of that history, part of that regressive slide, and part of him not being able to move forward.

Obviously I'm not saying MORPHERINE CANON ENDGAME though I wouldn't say no to that, just that I think Morph is positioned as being part of his path forward, the part of him that isn't just an animal with claws and bestial instinct. Morph sees his best self, Wolverine just has to choose to live up to it. God I'm gnawing at the bars of my enclosure about them.

Storm: So what you’re saying is you can’t explain it.

Beast: I did explain it.

Storm: No, you used nouns and verbs together in a pleasing but illogical format.

I know that morph is basically just a camoe machine in 97, but a thing I really wanna see at some point in season 2 is Morph's animal forms.

Anyways here's a small soft morpherine doodle

Needless to say they are more careful morphing into animals around the mansion after that.

Got inspired by a post post from @guyzone comparing morph to this post v.

well, i'm so unlucky when it comes to my favorite characters :,,)

i started xmen 97 and i am SOOOOO fucking excited about the future storyline. [to the tune of secret tunnel] SECRET RACHEL, SECRET RACHEL, MOTHER OF ASKANI, SECRET SECRET SECRET SECRET RACHEL!!

[smallblueandloud]

i'm watching her conversation with ororo (guys i'm having the BEST fucking time right now) and she just pulled off her hood and i KNOW the intention is to reveal her hound scars but i just can't get over the fact that she still has the mullet!!! i was so scared with the long braid they were going to ignore rachel's butch herstory but no, rachel has that mullet for her entire fucking life. goddamn. i'm happier than i have ever been right now

[smallblueandloud]

on apocalypse's train, nathan is getting a full pep-talk from both of his parents on how to use his telekinesis to escape custody and how being their son makes him unstoppable. hundreds of miles away, rachel is using those same powers to LIFT AN ENTIRE SPACESHIP sans even a SINGLE pep talk. yes she's an old woman but she's never going to see her parents again, even as she brought these alternate versions from the past, for the exact reason of giving her brother the support he needs that she will never get again, because the world is going to end if this version of her family doesn't get to be together. even though the world ended despite her own family already being together. and that's truly the core of rachel summers!!!

Of all the weird contrivances that superhero media have by virtue of genre, I think the no-kill rule is one of the easiest to justify. "Why don't these paragons of virtue extrajudicially murder people?" fuck dude, I wonder.

I love it when Mutants aren't forced into joining the X-men, or Brotherhood or any other organization.

I love it when they just get to be people.
