Storm - X-Men TAS S03E09 - 18 (Unconscious) by BobKO on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

This episode written by Marty Isenberg and Robert N. Skir continues to deliver. Storm has woken up from her previous induced slumber in X-Men TAS S03E09 and is to be knocked back out again.

Apparently Sauron's hypnotic suggestions from before are still somewhat at play, because she is not herself. She takes out her frustration on Garok's statue in the village and a bunch of villages surrounding it. When R.ogue wants to put her back to bed she turns on her friend. The other X-Men rush in to calm her down and restrain her while Beast prepares a sedative he shortly after injects her with so she falls unconscious once again.

I think Alison Sealy-Smith is such a terrific voice actress and an incredible fit for Storm. From the beginning of the scene, the frustration, the anger and then the incredible moan she lets out as the sedative renders Storm unconscious once again. What makes the scene interesting is the fact that it takes all of them to keep Storm under control and it's not the bad guys, but instead the good guys that knock her out for her own good. On top of that, injection scenes are rather unusual in cartoons so that makes this scene a bit extra special. I also love the fact that Beast grabs her limp hand at the end; "crisis contained". Very unusual and a fest for us sleepy fans. This two-part episode I just amazing and I don't think one heroine has ever been knocked out this much in one (or two) episodes.
