"Comrades, let us all work together!" Jenny and Tim welcome Keith Langston back to the show as we cover the 8th episode (or 10th, depending on when you first saw it -- more on that below) of X-Men: The Animated Series! And it's no respite for our world-weary heroes, as they are flung from one crisis to the next. While the wrecked X-Mansion sets off television's most obvious whodunit, we can excuse this for likewise providing a handy excuse to introduce dual guest stars Colossus and the titular Juggernaut. Given the participants, this one doesn't exactly have high ambitions at being anything other than a massive throwdown. Consequently, it makes for the most boilerplate episode of TAS to date, in the sense that the show can't be said to be doing anything much different than a standard Saturday morning action vehicle. At a push, one could say that this does continue to keep some focus on human-mutant relations, by way of Colossus' quick payday and angry reprisals from the workers whose job he unwittingly swiped. It serves as a minor counterargument to Genosha's extreme answer to the question of mutation's economic utility. Why impose outright slavery when mutants are willing to be exploited and happy to be compensated for a fraction of what it would cost to employ a larger, human workforce? An all-too American solution, but not without its consequences, as the idealistic immigrant Colossus soon learns. There's also Juggernaut's single line clarifying that isn't a mutant, despite assumptions to the contrary. Still, this doesn't especially change his perception or treatment at the hands of the X-Men or the authorities. Nor does Juggernaut seem to hold any particular animus towards mutants, in a somewhat interesting change of course -- this one's personal for him. Beyond these minor signposts -- and a rather generic theme emphasizing the power of teamwork -- there's not a lot here to elevate "The Unstoppable Juggernaut" much above the surface. That doesn't mean it isn't thoroughly entertaining, delivering on the expected action, turning in some genuinely clever one-liners, and putting in work with a memorably imposing score. Plus, we get a delightful surprise check-in with the imprisoned Beast, keeping his subplot alive. So after coming in hot, this installment ultimately pumps the brakes at least somewhat on the show's otherwise rapid-fire pace. While the matter of Professor Xavier's absence remains to be addressed, we at least know it is of his own volition, drawing a line under the nonstop conflict and dramatic cliffhangers for now. A welcome breather, then, in as much as any massive slugfest with the Juggernaut can be. X-TRA: "The Unstoppable Juggernaut" was delayed by animation issues and was originally shown slightly out of order, as discussed by the crew. That necessitated some hasty edits to episode 7's conclusion as it was first broadcast, in an effort to smooth over the continuity. The result was an even more confusing viewing experience by the time this episode did debut, following “The Cure” and “Come the Apocalypse.” For the alternate ending of "Slave Island," aired once and never again, check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IS8RHoTAh14. FINALLY, Stick around for our quick-hit impressions, predictions, and BIG FEELINGS on episodes 1-5 of the sensational X-Men '97!

Our focus returns to X-Men: The Animated Series with a pair of episodes centered on the theme of escape - in ways both figurative and literal - for our homo superior heroes. In "Cold Vengeance," matters of the heart compel Wolverine's flight to the very ends of the earth (or as he puts it, "somewhere cold"). As opposed to any sort of mutation-specific angst, Logan's unrequited love for Jean Grey serves as a universal and painfully relatable motive. In a positive exploration of human-mutant relations, however, Wolverine's enhanced physique and superhuman metabolism prove extremely advantageous to the indigenous people who have no experience or concept of mutant bigotry and take him in as one of their own. Despite seeking solitude, the loner has at last found companionship, even belonging, that arguably rivals his found family amongst the X-Men. Sadly, not everyone is so accepting of Wolverine's contributions. And when that resentment collides with a returning Sabretooth, looking to settle the score after his defeat two episodes prior, Wolverine realizes that no amount of distance is enough to separate him from his harsh, cold reality. Meanwhile, a trio of X-Men are offered an escape from their thankless responsibilities protecting a world that fears and hates them by kicking back on the island nation of Genosha. As a purported safe haven for mutants, Genosha is all-too alluring for Storm, Gamit, and Jubilee, who relish the opportunity to investigate the authenticity of this sales pitch under the guise of vacationing tourists. Of course, in an episode entitled "Slave Island," Genosha's peaceful and inviting veneer conceals a nightmare beyond imagination. To their horror, the trio learn that the nation is only interested in mutants for their "economic contributions" as instruments of human capital. Backed by Gyrich and Trask's revived Sentinel operation, the Genoshans waste no time pressing Gambit and Jubilee into hard labor, while a rebellious Storm is locked away in solitary confinement. As originally conceived in 1988, Genosha's comics origin positioned the locale as a fairly transparent apartheid allegory. Though less contemporary by 1993 and obfuscated by adaptation and filtration through Broadcast Standards & Practices, this Genosha still packs a punch and contains notes of relevance that ring true today. As a classist society where the rich get richer and everything feels like a scam to the workforce exploited to prop up the monied elite, Genosha can just as easily be viewed as a commentary on late stage capitalism, driven to its most brutal extremes. And in that world, where there also exists a minority population endowed with fantastic special abilities? Of course they would be regarded as commodities enlisted in service of the state, voluntarily or otherwise. It's heavy subject matter for any Saturday morning cartoon, and a mere seven episodes in at that.
