SuperHero Homies!

X-Men '97 is back... and somehow Season 2 might already be even better than the incredible first season!

After one of the greatest superhero TV seasons ever made, Marvel Studios had enormous expectations to meet. Through the first four episodes of X-Men '97 Season 2, we think they're off to an outstanding start.

In this episode of SuperHero Homies, we break down Episodes 1-4 of X-Men '97 Season 2, discussing the incredible action, shocking story developments, Apocalypse's rise, Cable's emotional journey, Magneto's biggest moments, and what we think is coming in the rest of the season.

COLD OPEN (First 30 Minutes)

Before discussing X-Men '97, we cover some of the biggest stories in superhero movies and pop culture:

• Is The Flash really as bad as Madame Web?
• Rumored characters appearing in the upcoming Superman sequel, Man of Tomorrow (Justice Gang, John Stewart, Blue Beetle, Peacemaker, and Martian Manhunter & more!)
• The Batman Part II delayed once again until February 2028
• Could James Gunn leave DC Studios after Paramount's reported acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery?
• Why Clayface could become the sleeper hit of the DC Universe
• Can The Odyssey or Spider-Man: Brand New Day become the next billion-dollar blockbuster?

FULL SPOILER DISCUSSION

After the news, we jump into a full spoiler breakdown of X-Men '97 Season 2 Episodes 1-4.

We discuss:

• The X-Men being divided across the past and future
• En Sabah Nur's transformation into Apocalypse
• Apocalypse vs. Magneto
• The shocking ending to their battle
• Nathan Summers (Cable) and his relationship with Scott Summers and Jean Grey
• Apocalypse's Horsemen
• X-Factor and X-Force in 1997
• Favorite characters and standout performances
• The incredible animation
• Fast-paced storytelling
• Comic book inspirations and Easter eggs
• Our predictions for the rest of Season 2

Marvel Studios continues to prove why X-Men '97 has become one of the best superhero animated series ever made. The emotional storytelling, stunning animation, incredible action sequences, and faithful adaptation of classic X-Men comics have us completely hooked.

From Apocalypse's terrifying rise to Magneto's unforgettable moments, Cable's emotional family story, and the introduction of X-Factor and X-Force, these first four episodes are packed with everything we love about the X-Men.

If the rest of the season maintains this level of quality, X-Men '97 Season 2 could surpass an already phenomenal first season.

What is the greatest superhero fight scene of all time?

Is it the airport battle from Captain America: Civil War? The brutal warehouse fight from Batman v Superman? Omni-Man vs. Invincible? Daredevil vs. Bullseye? Or does another legendary battle deserve the crown?

In this episode of SuperHero Homies, Homie Caleb throws Homie Q a complete curveball by revealing a surprise bracket tournament featuring some of the greatest superhero fight scenes ever put on screen. The catch? Homie Q has no idea what's coming and has to choose a winner one matchup at a time!

From Marvel to DC, live action to animation, movies to television, we debate which superhero battles stand above the rest and ultimately crown the greatest superhero fight scene ever made.

COLD OPEN (First 16 Minutes)

The DC Universe continues with Supergirl, but does Kara Zor-El's first solo film soar to new heights or fall short of the incredible expectations set by Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow?

In this episode of SuperHero Homies, we dive into a full review of the new Supergirl movie with a spoiler-free first half followed by a full spoiler discussion where we break down the biggest moments, performances, action sequences, characters, and how the film compares to the beloved DC Comics graphic novel that inspired it.

SPOILER WARNING

The first half of this episode is completely spoiler-free, making it the perfect review to watch before heading to the theater.

The second half contains our full spoiler discussion of Supergirl.

In our spoiler-free review, we discuss:

• Milly Alcock's outstanding performance as Kara Zor-El
• Jason Momoa's debut as Lobo
• The movie's action sequences and visual effects
• The overall story and pacing
• Whether Supergirl is a strong addition to James Gunn's new DC Universe
• How it compares to other recent DC movies

Then we jump into full spoilers to discuss:

• The biggest story moments
• Kara's emotional journey
• Lobo's role in the film
• The supporting cast
• Favorite and least favorite scenes
• The ending explained
• Themes and character arcs
• What worked... and what didn't
• The future of the DCU

One thing we all agreed on is that Milly Alcock absolutely shines as Supergirl. She brings warmth, vulnerability, strength, and charisma to Kara Zor-El, making her the emotional core of the entire movie. Jason Momoa is also a blast as Lobo, even if his role is relatively small.

Where our discussion gets more interesting is when we compare the movie to Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, the acclaimed comic by Tom King and Bilquis Evely that we reviewed last week. While the film improves on a few aspects of the source material, including pacing, action, and a more restrained version of Ruthye, it also loses much of the emotional depth, nuance, and heart that made the graphic novel so memorable.

Ultimately, we found Supergirl to be an entertaining but uneven superhero movie. It doesn't reinvent the genre, and a one-dimensional villain along with a familiar, trope-driven plot keep it from reaching its full potential. Still, if you can separate the movie from its comic book inspiration, there's plenty of fun to be had.

Whether you're a lifelong DC Comics fan, eagerly following James Gunn's DC Universe, or simply curious about the latest superhero movie, this review has you covered.

Spider-Noir may be one of the strangest Spider-Man adaptations ever made... and somehow, it works.

Going into Spider-Noir, our expectations were fairly modest. A noir detective series starring a version of Spider-Man sounded interesting on paper, but we weren't sure how successfully the show would balance classic superhero action with old-school detective storytelling. After finishing the series, we were pleasantly surprised by just how much we enjoyed it.

In this episode of SuperHero Homies, we give our full spoiler-filled review of Spider-Noir, discussing the story, performances, visuals, action sequences, comic book inspirations, noir influences, and why this series stands out in today's crowded superhero landscape.

COLD OPEN (First 20 Minutes)

Before diving into Spider-Noir, we discuss several major topics from the worlds of Marvel, comic books, and pop culture:

• Breaking down the latest Spider-Man: Brand New Day trailer
• Our biggest Spider-Man theories and predictions
• The possibility of Sadie Sink playing Jean Grey
• Spider-Man: Brand New Day's massive opening day ticket pre-sale numbers
• Why excitement for the next Spider-Man movie is through the roof
• Spoiler-light discussion of the leaked Avengers: Doomsday footage
• A guest host's experience binging the entire Daredevil saga
• Thoughts on Netflix's Daredevil and Daredevil: Born Again
• Why Matt Murdock remains one of Marvel's most beloved characters

FULL SPOILER REVIEW

After the cold open, we jump into a deep spoiler discussion of Spider-Noir.

Topics include:

• Ben Reilly's portrayal and character arc
• The incredible black-and-white presentation
• The equally impressive color version of the series
• The show's noir detective atmosphere
• How Spider-Noir balances crime drama and superhero storytelling
• The cast and standout performances
• Classic Spider-Man characters reimagined through a noir lens
• Favorite episodes and moments
• The show's biggest strengths and weaknesses
• Inconsistent power scaling and character abilities
• Plot threads that deserved more development
• What a potential second season could explore

One of the biggest surprises of the series is just how committed it is to the noir genre. Rather than simply placing Spider-Man in a different visual setting, Spider-Noir fully embraces detective storytelling, mystery, suspense, crime, corruption, and classic noir aesthetics while still delivering the comic book action fans expect.

While we don't think the show is perfect, we absolutely loved its visual style, strong performances, unique atmosphere, and willingness to take creative risks. In an era where superhero stories can sometimes feel repetitive, Spider-Noir manages to carve out its own identity and offer something genuinely different.

If you're a fan of Spider-Man, Marvel Comics, detective stories, superhero television, comic book adaptations, Daredevil, Marvel Studios, noir films, crime dramas, or pop culture discussions, this episode is for you.

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is widely considered one of the best Supergirl stories ever written, but does it deserve all the praise?

With the upcoming Supergirl movie drawing heavy inspiration from Tom King's acclaimed DC Comics graphic novel, we decided it was finally time to sit down and read Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. After finishing the book, we found ourselves agreeing on some things, disagreeing on others, and having a fascinating discussion about one of DC's most celebrated modern comics.

In this episode of SuperHero Homies, we break down Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow in a full spoiler-filled review, discussing the story, characters, themes, artwork, pacing, world-building, and whether this graphic novel deserves its reputation as a modern DC Comics classic.

COLD OPEN (First 30 Minutes)

Before discussing Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, we dive into several major topics from the worlds of comic books, superhero movies, and pop culture:

• The new Lanterns trailer and its detective-inspired mystery elements
• Our thoughts on Hal Jordan and Jon Stewart's dynamic
• Why Lanterns could become one of DC Studios' most important projects
• The endlessly delayed Blade movie and why Marvel Studios can't seem to get it made
• What makes Blade such a seemingly straightforward superhero movie to adapt
• The surprising announcement of the Jimmy Olsen & Gorilla Grodd television series
• Our theories on what that bizarre DC project could become
• New casting announcements for The Batman Part II
• Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, and Brian Tyree Henry joining the cast
• Speculation surrounding Harvey Dent, Gilda Dent, Victor Zsasz, Harvey Bullock, and other Gotham City characters

FULL SPOILER REVIEW

After the cold open, we jump into a deep spoiler discussion of Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.

Topics include:
• Kara Zor-El's characterization
• The story's themes and emotional core
• Tom King's writing style
• Bilquis Evely's incredible artwork
• The strengths and weaknesses of the narrative
• Pacing issues and storytelling choices
• Favorite and least favorite moments
• The supporting cast
• The book's entertainment value
• How faithful the Supergirl movie should be to the comic
• Why our opinions on the story differ so much

While all three of us agree that the artwork is phenomenal and that Kara is written exceptionally well, our opinions diverge when it comes to the pacing, character decisions, and overall effectiveness of the story. Two hosts came away largely positive on the graphic novel, while one host found himself far less impressed by the experience.

Whether you're preparing for the upcoming Supergirl movie, looking for great DC Comics recommendations, or simply curious about one of the most talked-about superhero comics of the past decade, this discussion is for you.
