X-Men 97episode 4 Motendo brings back a familiar villain, Mojo (voiced by David Errigo Jr.).
She reveals that she is a digital clone of Jubilee who has been fighting Mojos control for decades.
Id never seen a group of cartoon makers be so serious about something, Court says.
So as a teenager at that time, I was sort of thinking cool, you do you.
Chou, like so many of her generation, had these heroes in her life at an early age.
When asked about the gateway to X-Men being a part of her life, her response is unsurprising.
It absolutely was the animated series, Chou says.
X-Men was not on my radar at all before that.
But from then on, I collected comics.
Chou clarifies that it wasnt necessarily Jubilee who was her hero of choice at the time.
At the same time, we love seeing this sassy Southern belle with such a massive personality.
Who doesnt want to fly or be that strong?
And you know, who doesnt think that Gambits super cute?
On the same token, Jubilee was so cool.
Im sure it wasnt deliberate erasure of the time, its just that was sort of the default aesthetic.
And it also doesnt have to be so hard or so loaded.
That mentor-mentee relationship has always been a key aspect of the show, especially with Jubilee.
For me, it was always about her relationship with Wolverine more than anything else, Court says.
That really mirrored the relationship that I had with Cal at the time.
Chou considers herself lucky on that front as well.
She has several mentors within the cast, naturally coming from the original generation of voice actors.
But after Motendo was recorded, there was certainly another name added to that list of mentors.
They venture to keep all this information on a very need-to-know basis.
So when I read the episode, I said, am I also doing Abscissa?
Am I going to do a different voice, talking to myself?
Chou directs the next part of her response directly to her co-star.
Were on the same project, were castmates, and thats unbelievable to me.
It would seem that the mantle has officially been passed.
When prompted to coach Chou on how to give the perfect I got one!
She doesnt need any coaching, Court says.
You made it, kid.
New episodes of X-Men 97 stream on Wednesdays on Disney+.
