X-Men ’97’, Invincible, and 1986’s ‘Transformers: The Movie’ – Reviews
X-Men ’97’, Invincible, and 1986’s ‘Transformers: The Movie’ – Reviews.
This week, it’s an all-in animation exploration with Miranda and Clayton. We kick things off with the iconic “X-Men ’97.” Does it still hold up to this day? The teams enthusiasm for the show’s return is palpable, as it leans heavily into nostalgia. However, it’s clear the show has evolved with its audience; it’s definitely not just for kids anymore—suitable for ages 14 and over.
Miranda defends Claytons right to be wrong on who is the best X Men.
Next up, “Invincible” earns Miranda’s stamp of approval. The question is are the heroes in this ultra-violent superhero series attempting something noble? The discussion reveals that the adaptation surpasses the source material and delves into why anime comics sometimes lack depth in minor characters. Additionally, it’s noted that the show’s violence exceeds Clayton’s usual preferences.
Then, we dive into “The Transformers: The Movie.” Is it merely a glorified toy commercial? Who cares when it’s so enjoyable to revisit? Dust off your Transformer toys, grab a bowl of popcorn, and indulge in this 1986 cinematic treat.
Miranda praises the movie’s bright, colourful, and relentless action, while Clayton affectionately describes it as a beautiful mess that’s a whole lot of fun.
Miranda would like to issues an apology for mistakenly stating the release date of “Transformers: The Movie” as 1984 instead of 1986 on air. For this ‘crime,’ Miranda has been sentenced to the planet Accurate, a forbidding interplanetary prison colony, to serve 1,000 years in repentance. However, with time off for great reviewing, Miranda will be back next week.
