Why would the X-Men name Hank Beast?
Why would the X-Men name Hank Beast? Sure, he’s big, blue, and hairy, but a ‘beast’ is usually something that is uncivilized and brutish. While he may be ‘scary’ to some, he is anything but uncivilized. He regularly quotes novels like Dante’s Inferno, and isn’t just spitballing something that sounds smart. He has the ability to discern decent interpretation of the texts and use them at his discretion in fitting scenarios. The speedo might be a bit weird, but shoving that much fur into clothes must be uncomfortable. The chafing would be horrible, with constricting materials not necessarily being made to fit him. And a lot of anti-mutant organizations like the ‘Friends of Humanity’ call many mutants beasts. So why would Xavier take one of his most ‘monstrous’ mutants and let him be called Beast? It’s almost like he’s attempting to ‘reclaim’ the term like the IRL LGBTQ+ community reclaimed the word ‘queer’ for themselves. But it’s more akin to some trying to reclaim the f-slur- I’d expect ‘mutie’ to become something to reclaim, not something that has such heavy connotations with ‘monsters’. Xavier found Hank after the deaths of his team and made him forget. He turned him into this icon of ‘beasts’ unwittingly, and surrounded him with ‘more palatable’ mutants like he was some sort of diversity hire.
Maybe that’s why Hank clings to humanity so much, he wants so desperately to not be seen as a ‘beast’.
Edit: this was me being a dumbass again and not checking my sources while sleep deprived and in the middle of a lecture, I was wrong lol
Okay y’all, I just finished episode 5, here are some of my thoughts on it!
SPOILERS
-Bruh this bald bitch Xavier is getting on my NERVES. Like I get why you did what you did but you REALLY had to go to get some space girlfriend instead of helping your X-Men? Like I think Magneto KNEW he was going to space because he even mentioned how Xavier went with his Shi’ar Queen- that’s WILD
-Also I didn’t think I realized the magnitude (heh heh, get it?) of what Magneto did until this episode. He does realize he’s probably killing an assload of mutants too right? Like bro has good points but I think killing thousands of people including mutants and like the entire planet may be a tad too far
-Why were they in space when Xavier met with President Kelly? Did I miss something?
-I wasn’t surprised that Rouge joined magneto, but Roberto joining threw me through the loop. I get why, I just didn’t expect it. I mean I’m proud of him though. I wish there was more time before the final battle so we could see Roberto interacting with Magneto and Rouge since we’ve only ever seen him and Jubilee together. (more in next bulletin point about those two) I just feel like there could have been more character interactions in general here. Too much was focused on just fighting. Like how the hell did we go from having 12 hours to 1 so quickly? The fuck????
-More about Rouge, loved her talk with Professor X, you tell ‘em Rouge! Also I love that she wore Gambit’s jacket, I thought it was really sweet.
-Roberto worrying about hurting Jubilee? AWKDKGBDLFN MY HEART AHENGELFKDK like I don’t really know how J feel about romance with them but their friendship and stuff is so adorable and then to have it break like that! Like of course Jubilee would be mad! Roberto effectively went against her family!
-My Queen, my absolute GODDESS storm returned! Yay! I loved the little sister moment Jean and her shared. She had some super cool fighting scenes though, I love how they animate her abilities. I don’t like how my QUEEN GOT MURKED AGAIN WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! So unfair
-Real talk why the FUCK did they send Wolverine to confront Magneto? Honestly Magneto could have done what he did at the end at literally any point, dude was playing it nice. Also, my Morphine loving ass really wishes there was a goodbye scene between Morph and Logan. I mean K know he’s gonna be okay though. It’s Wolverine. I hope we actually get to see more of his healing abilities, we never get too see those….. I mean he is going to be okay, right? My heart cannot take Logan dying he’s like one of my favorite X-Men. Honestly I feel like X-Men 97 haven’t really been doing him right. But it’s pretty much the Scott and Jean show so, go figure
-More on Morph: they got called THEM again!!! That made me so happy! :) but I was a little bit confused when Rouge said something along the lines of: “Morph barely joined our team for 30 minutes and we threw them to the wolves” what does that mean? Am I missing something? Is it from the original show? Because I didn’t watch it so if someone could explain please do!!
-As for Cable, it was really cool to see his powers get shown off! That was awesome. I like the interaction he had with Scott too. Honestly ever since they introduced Cable I was hoping for a Deadpool cameo, hopefully for season two. A girl can only dream.
-Then onto Nightcrawler! Once again my dude has AWESOME GOATED fighting skills!!!!!! We love him. I was surprised he didn’t really try to talk Rouge down during the battle but that fight was way too fast paced. I really liked the scene with the Rosary. I don’t really know why since I’m not religious or anything, I just thought that it was a nice touch.
-Gonna do Scott and Jean in one I guess. I liked the fight between Jean and Mr.Sinister. I think it’s crazy that she could telepathically communicate with Scott that far away. That’s cool. I hope Cable doesn’t kill her. On another note, I love Scott and Jean. Like this show has done WONDERS for Scott’s character but why does EVERYTHING have to be about them?! They’re like the only two characters that got like any character time the entire episode!
-And then because apparently I decided to do everyone I might as well say stuff about Beast, next I’ll do Magneto. (Can you tell this wasn’t planned at all and I’m just rambling lmao?) anyway, Beast was pretty chill here. I always like the little quips he throws out during a fight, and I like that he’s friends with Forge. He is a very swag dude. I’m a little surprised to see him hanging around near the reporter still, especially since she was revealed to be a sentient bot thing and like Roberto said, she somewhat chose to be turned into something that would fight against mutants. But beast is a very peaceful and forgiving person, so I suppose it makes sense.
-Finally, Magneto! Fun fact throughout this entire thing I kept spelling it magneato because I think he’s mag-neat-o (I should be burned at the stake). Well, I would say that if I didn’t think he was a FUCKING IDIOT! Bro another PLANET?! Please tell me how he was planning on loading every mutant up to another planet. I would LOVE to know. There were different ways he could have gone about it, but NOPE. Also- LEECH ACTUALLY DIED?! CKDIFNSKGKELGL SOBBING ACTUALLY SHED A TEAR- like I don’t know what I should have expected but I’m still sad about it. So I guess a huge part of this is a product of grief not just for Genosha but also Leech. God that’s so sad bro-
Forge- unfortunately not much to say here :( I do hope he’s okay though! He’s a really good pilot and very smart!
Overall, I just think this episode was way too rushed. I wish there were more character moments. I mean the professor isn’t dead? Hell I would have punched that old man in the face! I really think the first season should have been longer. I know people disagree but I just want to see more things between other characters that don’t feel so rushed. That’s all I want. I want to see more of my faves instead of having them constantly thrown to the side.

The Marvels Credit Scene Spoiler under the cut!
Does anyone has a picture or video of Beast from the movie The Marvels? Everything I've found of him is of such poor quality that you can hardly see anything…
Asking for myself... I mean for a friend... and for science... My friend needs it for science. And me too!
If They Make Hank Even SLIGHTLY Evil In This Remake Rather Than Bringing Back The Bouncing Bubbly Fun Poet And Scientist That He Is I Will Fucking START TEARING OUT THROATS WITH MY TEETH

Hank is this kind of guy who spends his days with poetry, philosophy and working in his lab or teaching. He is a diplomat who prefers to go to the theater than fighting on the battlefield.
But Hank is also that kind of guy who could easily rip you apart, while quoting an entire Shakespeare play if he wanted to.
And a little extra to this (x) because I love Hank in this scene.
Comic Stuff
Aaaaaawwww look how happy he is!!! Happy Hank!!!!
And so understanding and loving!!!! Also Hank's dad!!! He wins the best dad of the world price!!!!! He's also so sweet and loving no matter Hank turned out to be this kind of man!!!
This part was just so funny!! The 'Would you like to make an appointment to murder me' and the 'I'm not joking!' had me rolling. Hank you would be a very good german guy. In this country nothing works without an appointment!
AND HE WAS EVEN SPEAKING GERMAN!!! This was so random but I loved it. Especially because I didn't expect that so at first I didn't even realized it's german and thought huh... this words sound just like the german words 🤣 Also the Spidey express!!!
AND THIS PARTS!!!!!! THIS IS SO WHOLESOME AND CUTE AND SWEET AND SO AAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWW!!!!! Best parents ever!!!! They don't care that this guy could kill them with a snap!!!! And the hug at the end!!!!

I want everyone of you to drop everythig for a moment and think about Hank with his baby girl in his arms, holding her for the very first time. Seeing her little face and feeling her tiny hands and fingers wrapping around his finger that is so much bigger than hers.
Imagine this man holding a little infant that's so tiny that it fits easily in one hand of his. He could simply just lay her on his palm no problem.
Imagine him holding her close to his chest as he looks down at the little wonder he created. Feeling this kind of love he never felt before or thought he would ever feel.
And he's just happy and at peace in that moment!
Did you imagined it? Yeah? Okay then you can go on with your life again. Thanks for listening <3

I just looked up the name McCoy cause I wanted to know the origin of this name and wikipedia said something about scottish and irish...
And only because of that my head made up the headcanon that Hank has scottish/irish origins and he has an eccentric great uncle who still lives there...
This uncle can't barely stand anyone around him except Hank. Hank's his favorite from the whole family and he has no problem with letting everyone know.
When this uncle heard about Hank's mutation and that he turned all blue and furry this uncle immediately bought several blue clothes and accessories to show his support. From there one he always wore something blue.
He never mentioned anything and just silently accepted and supported his nephew.
The uncle is also a very proud, stubborn and headstrong man and always refuses to let others help. So everytime he and Hank meet and Hank wants to help with something the uncle just shoos him away and complains that he's not a senile old man and can take care of it himself. "Boy sit down for havens sake!" he then orders.
Yes he was an army man and had a very high rank there.
Beside Hank the only other living being he openly likes is his dog.
I used to use perler beads a lot as a small child and so about 2 years ago I picked some more up at hobby craft! Then obviously forgot about them after one use and never even ironed a few of the things I made..
However! I found them again yesterday and started making some little X-men ones because I am a tad hyperfixated
Though I didn't grew up with the original show, X-Men '97 has earn a spot for my favorite marvel animated shows and one the best marvel shows besides Moon girl of course! With fluid animation, incredible voice acting and epic fight scenes, I recommend you watch it without a question, it's gonna be hard to wait for season 2 but Deadpool and Wolverine is coming, so at least it can keep me preoccupied!
Well, I finished the 90's X-Men series, now I got to wait for Deadpool and Wolverine and of course season 2 of X-Men 97 too!
"When in disgrace with fortune and mens eyes, I all alone beweep my outcase state. And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries, And look upon myself and curse my fate..."
