While the first season of X-Men ’97 focused on a new villain in the form of Bastion, the currently ongoing second season has thus far revolved around Apocalypse, one of the mutants’ long-standing foes from X-Men: The Animated Series. Apocalypse’s imposing design and status as the oldest of all mutants made him stand out from the rest of the X-Men’s rogues gallery.Yet those who grew up with X-Men: The Animated Series may instead remember Apocalypse for his surprisingly eloquent manner of speaking. His dramatic declarations were some of the show’s most memorable lines, and his single greatest quote has taken on a new meaning thanks to the latest episode of X-Men ’97.At the time, this was merely Apocalypse’s poetic way of boasting that he was invincible, comparing the futility of the X-Men’s effort to water slapping against a stony surface. In the episode’s official captions, the phrase “rocks of the eternal shore” was uncapitalized, indicating that it did not refer to anything specific. Nonetheless, Apocalypse’s line left an impression on viewers simply because it sounded cool. Now, three decades later, X-Men ’97 Season 2 has recontextualized this iconic quote by making it an integral part of Apocalypse’s lore.
