210. X-Men '97 Finale Reaction PLUS Fantasy Casting MCU X-Men
Episode description
This week on Socially Distanced we’re going all in on X-Men. Join Bill Bodkin, Amanda Rivas, Alex Marcus and special guest Matt Farley of Marvel Guides as they discuss the X-Men 97 finale and they create and cast their own MCU X-Men film.
In the first segment of the episode they break down the finale of X-Men ‘97. They talk about if it lived up to expectations, what parts didn’t work, the great punching scenes and the love between Charles and Magnus. They also discuss all the cameos through the season and whether they felt earned or were there for a cheap pop. They discuss the season - what worked, what didn’t and what they hope for in a second season.
In the second half of the pod (beginning at the 54 minute mark) they create the X-Men teams they’d like to see in the MCU and then cast who they’d like as Professor X, the big bad, the X-Men and more. They also talk about the plot of their films, who would be directing and how it could potentially tie into the MCU.
