It’s time True Believers! Tim and Jeremy will talk about that classic premiere pair of perfect power episodes of Marvel’s X-Men series from 1992. Night of the Sentinels was a fantastic two part premiere and the Toonsters are going to talk all about this introduction to Marvel’s Merry Mutants!
They’ll break down everything from the bold animation style to the unforgettable theme song that still gets stuck in your head three decades later so you can enjoy it with your friends which you can met at www.chatEmpanada.com. Tim’s got the trivia locked and loaded—did you know the show was originally only planned for 13 episodes?—while Jeremy’s ready to gush about why this series hit different for kids growing up in the ’90s.
The “Night of the Sentinels” storyline immediately set the tone with high-stakes drama, emotional weight, and a fearless approach to tough topics like prejudice, identity, and sacrifice. Right out of the gate, we saw Jubilee’s awakening into the mutant world, a glimpse of Sentinels tearing through suburbia, and yes — that emotional punch in the gut when Morph doesn’t make it out. Or… does he?
So whether you’re rewatching the series on Disney+ or just diving in for the first time, join the Toonsters as they explore what made this premiere legendary. From Cyclops’ laser-blasting leadership to Wolverine’s growling one-liners, it’s time to relive the mutant mayhem that made X-Men: The Animated Series a cornerstone of Marvel fandom. Snikt, bub!
