Just saw "night of the Sentinels II" and thought it was handled nicely.
No spoilers, but there are some very nice "camera angles" on this one
and they handle a major plot point very well considering it is a kids
show.

	Unfortunately (besides now having Stan Lee doing guest announcing
for X-men previews during other show's credits)  this WAS JUST A PREVIEW!
	During the ending credits Stan hopes we enjoyed the show and will
watch the X-men series premiering in.....

	JANUARY!!!!!!!  (argh this is painful)  So everyone has to
wait 2 more months for the next episode (maybe they'll stop printing
the bloody comic adaptations of it until AFTER the show runs)

has anyone seen the special edition x-men when they go to africa to help

eyes...what color were they then? DEFINITELY not green!  i think it's

When Betsy Braddock stepped through the Siege Perilous in Uncanny X-Men #251,
she was transported to the Pacific Ocean where agents of the Hand found her.
Matsuo Tsurayaba (sp?), the leader of the Hand, gave Braddock to the Mandarin
in Uncanny X-Men #256. With the Mandarin's help, Tsurayaba transformed white
British lady Betsy Braddock into the Asian ninja assassin that she is today.
Under the Mandarin's control, Psylocke attempted to capture Wolverine and
Jubilee. All of this took place between UXM #256-#258, supposedly part of the
"Acts of Vengeance" saga. 
As a sidenote, while Jim Lee did draw these three issues, they were not his 
first work on X-Men. He first pencilled the merry mutants in issue #248.

The Beast was originally fairly normal looking until Amazing Adventures

a man with blue fur.  In X-Factor #2-3, the father of Artie managed to
transform him back to his original appearance.  At the end of X-Factor
#28-31, however, a kiss from Infecta changed him back.

Although I'm a fan of the "noble parachute bailout" thing, it must be noted
that around the time of "Inferno", it was revealed that Mr. Sinister had
actually removed Scott's ability to control his blasts while Scott was
living in the orphanage. (Their way of giving him retroactivie
continuity...yecch!)

And I know that Phoenix/Dark Phoenix could use her telekinesis to hold his
optic blasts back...I can only assume, that since Jean's telekinetic
powers were supposedly amplified after coming out of the cocoon that she
has enough power as well...

	Those of you who taped the second episode of X-Men, take a close
look at the scene where the president gives her little mutant speech --
you know, BEFORE the X-Men go to rescue Jubilee.  Note the cast in the room:
Storm, Cyclops, Jean, Gambit, Rogue, (maybe) Wolverine, and Jubilee.

I can not believe that I am reading people argue the physics involved

          Once again, I come forth to voice my opinion on an obscure and
unsure topic: the apparent death of Magneto. Even though in the latest
copy of Avengers, where the Acolyte Scanner tells Lockjaw and the
housekeeper that Magneto is dead, it appears that Magnus is, indeed,
dead, I wouldn't bet any money on it. The Master of Magnetism will be up
to his old tricks, probably as soon as this Executioner's Song garbage
is over and done with. Magneto is too pivotal and important a character
to be killed off in such a trivail way. It is foolish to even think that
he could be dead. But, anyway, this is, as always, just my opinion...

The 2nd cartoon of the X-Men Animated series tells of Morph dying
but didn't actually show how he died.  The comic book counterpart 
(issue #1) shows Morph being fried by a skeletal hand or something
of the paranormal.  Is this how he died from the cartoon or are we
supposed to assume that he got "shot" by one of the sentinels or
guards?

Another thing, how did Morph and beast get separated from the rest

About all these errors in the X-Men cartoon:

I personally see the cartoon as not part of X-Men comics continuity as the
cartoon has evidenced to us all.

I don't see the problem in it at all.  It's like "What if Gambit, Rogue,
Jubilee, Jean Grey, Cyclops, Wolverine, Beast, and Morph were the original
X-Men".

as his mini series.  I just wanted to know what you all thought about him that's all.

(Don't blame me for his screwed-up word wraps...)

I, for one, was a fan of the original Death's Head. When I heard that they
were creating the new killer Death's Head in order to cement him into the
Marvel Universe (as if appearances in Fantastic Four, Marvel Comics
Presents, and She-Hulk weren't enough...) I creied and wailed and moaned.
I mean, the pencil sketches I saw were UGLY!

But, then I picked up the mini-series (I figured I'd let Death's Head go
out with a bang) I absolutely LOVED it! It was still the same old Death's
Head, but with a new body (which the mini-series made look REALLY sharp!)
and brought us alternate universe Marvel characters to kill! (They're
always fun to off... nothing like killing Wolverine a couple of times to
get the blood flowing...)

Now, with the first issue of the regular series, I still like the story,
but the art isn't quite as polished as in the mini-series. But I guess I
can live with it...

(As for whether or not Death's Head could actually take on the X-Men and
win, in DH II MS #4, Death's Head snaps off one of the alternate-future
Wolverine's adamantium(?) claws... I like the T1000 effect with his arm,
too...much better than the modular hands...)
