"DISNEYCEMBER 2024 Blog day 02nd goes back to the 1990's with a old school favorite "X-Men 97" it's epic to see our favorite old school X-Men team back in action after Charlies Xavier went into space but things never stay the same we got 10 episodes featuring Logan & company facing new baddies & new adventures each episode was pretty epic but there's one shocking episode that I wanna talked bout & that's "remember it" (Spoiler alert) While the rest of the X-Men get ready for a sit down chat with the news Erik/Rogue & Gambit head towards Erik's mutant free island call Mutantopia where every Mutants can go lived their lives without a cared in the world that is until we learn that Rogue told Gambit that in a flashback Rogue was in training under Erik & got in romantic issues & yeah we got a mutant love triangle between Rogue/Gambit & Erik but that's not all cause of tragic event happen a giant 3-head sentinel attack & starting killing every mutants on the island but in the end one mutant made the noble sacrifice I not saying who got kill here cause it's a shocker cause it caught me by a shocker but when we got to the season finale that's went all downhill see after the Mutantopia tragic Erik went into a all out attack on the X-Men but help arrives in the form of Charles Xavier & Cable (Cyclops & Jean's son shocker) to help out but in the end most of the X-Men including Erik got Separated in time & we have no idea how to get them back until season 2 Hopefully but does this reboot hold up ? Surprise very well this "X-Men 97" have it's ups & down of epic episodes minus what happen in episode 5 but if you haven't seen "X-Men 97" & wanna get caught up go give it go watch but have tissues ready for episode 5 & if anyone asking bout a "Spiderman 98 reboot" ? we'll cross web when we get to it but in the meantime report to the Danger room A.S.A.P"

The top five best written characters in 97 IMO 5. Magneto, even if his actions at the end of the season are undefendable, up to that point, I genuinely saw where he was coming from and he genuinely tried to do good 4. Nightcrawler, this guy always knows what to say to those who are in need of advice and encouragement, so glad he’s a main character and member of the team now 3. Cyclops, like many have said, he has a lot of badass and awesome leader scenes in the show (though I disagree that we never saw this aspect in the 90s show) 2. THE Remy Leabeau, Gambit The guy was a always trying to put a smile on people’s faces and was always there for those he loved RIP 😫😫 1. Rogue, a character I feel could be argued as being the perfect representation of X-Men. Her struggling with grief and being pushed to the edge of questioning what she’s fighting for is the best story arc of the show so far

Oh my Stars and Garters this show freaking rocks. I was one individual who unfortunately didn't watch the original series until '97 was announced. I was born in '99 so back then the original was probably hard to come by. However, I did had a full marathon as I got prepared for the series and it was so cool. If I really grew up in the 90s, I definitely would've loved it more. Once X-Men '97 hit the scene, things were definitely taking to the next level and in fact this might be better than the original. The action, the animation, the cast and the twists...OH LORD you can't look away from all this. And like all of you, that theme song will always be playing in my head.

[@claycowan1989]

Cyclops is not dull. He's one of the best leaders ever and gives Captain America a run for his money. He's an expert tactician and can strategize on the fly while in the battlefield. His optic blast is powerful enough to destroy a planet when at full power. Even Wolverine admitted he wouldn't wanna be on Scott's bad side. He's a DJ and has had multiple girlfriends. He's never afraid to make the tough call and even has a body count. He defeated some of the most powerful X-Men singlehandedly. He's like an amalgamation of Professor X and Magneto (he shares Professor X's hope for peace, but also believes in taking action). He often carry the burdens of being a leader. He's probably the most important member of the X-Men. Brian Singer buried him in the films because he was a Wolverine fanboy. Stan Lee called Cyclops his favorite character for a reason. Most people who hated on Cyclops have never picked up a comic.

[@deadshot7062]

This show was an absolute blast. I’m an early 2000’s kid so I didn’t grow up with this show. Once I heard this was coming out I decided to binge the original show and loved it. Watching the new show made me noticed other characters with the main one being gambit. I wasn’t into Gambit too much when I was younger but dear god this show made him one of my favorite mutants. When he showed up in Deadpool and Wolverine I cheered cause I didn’t think we would see Gambit anytime soon. Also the animation is gorgeous, it’s a perfect balance between modern and original animation. The music is impactful and amazing, Storms music when it kicked in episode 1 I was looking with such amazement in my eyes. The emotions going through this show was insane, I laughed, I cheered and most surprisingly I cried. Something animated that makes me cry is an accomplishment . That also includes some dialogue that has such meaning to it as well that it hit. To continue the Dialogue is astounding. They be throwing these hitters that you can make quotes on. Sorry for the rant but this show deserves the praise and god let’s hope season 2 will be good too.

[@milkiassamuel780]

This show truly BLEW ME AWAY!!! I swear I am flabbergasted how phenomenal this series was even though I never grew up watching the show in the 90's and yet I felt for these characters and felt the weight of all the deaths in this show and how traumatic it is while tackling very deep themes and compelling ideas and concepts like tolerance, acceptance, racial identity, sexual identity, evolution, family kinship, amending past mistakes, self love and so much more with some truly awe-inspiring blend of 2D and 3D animation that looks INCREDIBLE and so fluid. The show has some of my favourite takes on some of my favourite members of the X-Men like Cyclops, Storm, Magneto, Jean Grey, Nightcrawler, Rogue, Gambit, Beast etc... Plus Bastion was also an excellent villain and really touched on a lot of realistic themes stemming on humanities intolerance of and refusal to accept the next stage of the evolutionary process. I swear I can gush so much about this show as its singlehandedly the GREATEST PROJECT MARVEL HAS RELEASED EVER SINCE INFINITY WAR AND ENDGAME! I can't wait for Season 2

[@evanmorris6057]

There’s actually a rumor that Marvel’s planning on creating an extended animated universe by bringing back some of the other shows from the 90s!! Those included X-Men, Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, Incredible Hulk, and Iron Man. It’s been WAYY too long since Marvel has given us a great extended animated universe, as this past decade, they have NOT been putting much love and effort into their animation department. Hopefully X-Men 97 is the start of something truly special!! I’m currently more interested in that than what the MCU is doing right now.

[@louisduarte8763]

DIdn't they also have an Avengers cartoon then? I remember watching some reruns of these shows on Disney XD a few years ago with my friends, and... they visually didn't hold up to us. Yet the DC animated series from that decade still do!

[@evanmorris6057]

@ There was an Avengers cartoon back then, and it was rough. Though I don’t think it took place in the same universe as the other shows. I recently watched an episode of the Fantastic Four show, and while the animation definitely improved in the last portion of episodes, those first few are hard to look at. It’s worth noting that this was around the time that Marvel was starting to go bankrupt, hence why their shows didn’t always look the best.

This show was a huge love letter to the fans of the old cartoon. This was my first introduction to the Xmen and its characters. I loved it so much that I could never bring myself to watch the live-action movies aside from the first two. Like you said, I feel like Wolverine is overshadowing the others but at the same time, I do think he's a great character. My favourite character in the series is actually Gambit because he reminded me of my late uncle who also enjoyed playing cards. And Rogue was my childhood crush and the reason why I love girls with Southern accents. The original series really shaped me as a kid, and when I started watching 97 I had that same feeling of being a kid again, overly excited for the next episode. Part of me was a little worried they'd mess it up somehow because 20 or so-year-old continuations or remakes often do. But this once DIDN'T! It felt exactly like a continuation and it didn't treat me like a kid and held my hand. It hit me with all the dark stuff hard and my jaw was on the floor with most of its episodes. I really can't wait to see season 2 and see how they continue this. I also hope they do a continuation of my other favourite cartoon from the 90s. Spider-Man The Animated Series. If we get that I feel like my life would become five times better.

[@patrickcaulfield7663]

Your right though about the half and half thing with original creators. This and live action one piece both did that and they turned out phenomenal! Live action one piece isn’t perfect but it feels like the heart of the series told in a different medium and light. X men 97 did the same. My dad didn’t watch the original but 97 made him interested. Whereas live action avatar didn’t and it felt more like it was trying to be the most important thing instead of keeping to the spirit of where it came from.

[@skylerwarren7300]

I think my biggest gripe with the show is that In order to make the Xman feel more alone they make other heroes go against their character, like captain America, there’s no way he would “go by the books” after what happen, To me they are sacrificing a character so that the Xman can overcome a bigger wall so it’s more impressive

Then when the episodes started to drop, instead of admitting they were wrong, like unbiased people do (because they claim to be unbiased), they instead all went quiet.

I love the X-Men and I loved X-Men 97. It was beyond amazing. It definitely surpassed my expectations. Before it came out, I think many of us were expecting it wouldn't come even close to living up to the original series we grew up with. I agree about the animation. Sort of an uncanny valley effect at times where it felt incomplete or a low frame rate. But the action sequences were amazing. Definitely some strong anime influence there. Some of the episodes/writing felt rushed. A couple story threads should have been told over a few episodes so when a big reveal happens or there's a resolution, there's a better emotional payoff. Besides that, this show was just amazing. I couldn't praise it any higher, it was so well done and captured all the right elements of the X-Men, both the 90s series and the comics.

I’m glad to see your enjoying X-Men again and all it took was bringing back the 90s show. Those Fox movies haven’t aged well.

[@jeuryrabassa4724]

I really hope they can give Spider-Man:TAS a revival as well. Cause it deserves it.

[@kdusel1991]

We NEED Spider-Man '98!!

[@a.f.watcher8888]

This show was incredible, but now rewatch it while playing Marvel vs. Capcom games or X-Men Legends games.

[@jrr2480]

I hope some of the later seasons show more X-Men in the 90s Marvel Animated Universe 🌌

[@RobocopDood]

Fun fact: the story board artist put in some marvel vs capcom refrences in the fights 😁

[@killer92173]

"What would you prefer? Yellow Spandex??" NC: "And i took that personally!!"

[@chocolatecoveredgames]

I feel at the end of episode 5, he must have been laughing so hard. 😆😂😆😂😆😂

[@bazzfromthebackground3696]

This show crushed it. And by making it come out weekly helped people get up to speed if they fall a couple eps behind

[@mykhailichenko_andrew]

When I saw X-Men 97, I immediately remembered how much the original animated series influenced me in my childhood. My political views, my choice of profession, my character.

[@KasaiWolf07]

X-Men 97 was such an amazing quality production. Shows that Disney can make good productions if they want to. I've never seen another series like it and I don't think they ever will again.

[@journeymanX]

Magneto and Rogue dancing to ace of base was the highlight for me

[@sheridan140]

Well done Doug, thanks for another great one. The OG early 90s show was part of my real intro to x men, I think about the time age of apocalypse came out too (loved seeing that 1-handed wolverine cameo in DP&W)

[@bryanthomas4907]

I am pretty impressed with how they handled the Maddy stuff. That was such a rough time editorially for Scott AND Jean and after watching this show I even revisited the 1st series of X-Factor which I had REFUSED to acknowledge for years.

[@YesterdaysMoose]

What happened to Wolverine is something I remember from the comic that I never thought would be adapted into animation/live-action, but this show goes there.

[@corinthiarobbins2990]

I’ve watched it twice by myself and once with my husband and the Genocia stuff made me cry. The way they handled it was done beautifly. Overall they did a very well job with this show and I’m excited for season two.

[@maverickslb80]

Best animated series ever. Period.

[@timmckee6340]

This show was just so AWESOME! I t really lived up the 90s cartoon it comes from (and that’s saying something) the animation was great; the voice acting was great the humor was good. I was so sexited for this thing that I watched EVERY single episode of the original before it was released so I could catch up. “remember it” is just so heartbreaking and the tragic fact that the voice actress for Rouge (Lenore Zann) confirmed that she put real life grief (she had lost her young niece to cancer) into her performance is amazing, you can really feel her loss and heartbreak. Hats off to her line delivery.

[@cjsfilms99]

The OG show was before my time (X-Men Evolution more my time) but this hooked me right away. Some of the best American action animation ever. Keeping up with how fast they would throw information was a challenge especially with how many characters show up, but it kind of made the plot feel like a big soap opera with a constant escalation of character dynamics. Can't wait for season 2

[@carlintaylor2996]

Hands down the best thing they did this year without a doubt really hoping this gets more than one season supposed to be getting cameo's in the next few movies and there officially coming after secret wars I'm looking forward to it Gambit's sacrifice best episode remember it 😂😂

[@MichelleWarns-t4z]

I love how they made Nightcrawler perfect. It not only made him more popular, but also gave him more fan girls.😊

[@trinaq]

The best X Men property to come out in quite a while. They managed to show proper respect to the franchise, something that Fox arguably didn't towards the end, after Last Stand.

[@chasehedges6775]

That’s just crazy awesome. And i says that as someone loves X Men The Last Stand dearly.!

[@PrinceoftheCrocs]

I had to watch most of the important stuff of the 90’s show to get a feel for what I was getting into with this series and after seeing most of this cast coming back while getting new ones it was so cool I even met Jennifer Hale last year before I even knew she was Jean Grey

[@JoeChillton]

The Trask suicide where he's mournful and then Rogue drops him like a bad habit in Vegas, then he's already been converted into a Sentinel mix. Damn

[@Myself-yf5do]

Now that you've done this, Dreamworksuary, Twilight Tober Zone, and Bat May, you should do Nickuly/Aprilodeon.

[@warriorfella]

I'll have slices of leftover pizza 🍕 waiting each week for season 2. Rehire Beau DeMayo!

[@JarvisCosric885]

X-Men 97 is one of the absolute best series I have ever seen. Episode 5, 9, 10, and 7 are excellent and My Top 4 favorite episodes from this new series. Overall, I love X-Men 97 and the villains were incredible

[@FlawedCoil82]

The thing that spoiled this series for me was when they stupidly bait & switched “X-Men ‘97” into “X-Men ‘79” by having them all switch into their older uniforms in the last two episodes. I hope to God that they return to their Jim Lee uniforms next season (especially Rogue, Cyclops and Jean). I was sold those iconic uniforms and that’s what I want/need.

[@zwordsman]

Rogue's was representiive for her I think. it was her outfit from when she was more villiain inclinded. So it was her own way of kind of trying to be cold again in the world.

[@OverZaEast]

I'm not an Xmen person, but man this show really elevates my loves for Xmen

[@NM-io3bk]

One thing I love about the show is the script. A lot of the best speeches and lines from the show you wouldn’t hear in a mcu movie today because Disney is a bit embarrassed to have characters talk as younger people talk today. Everything in their movies has to be casual and have a joke. X-men 97 was not afraid to give characters corny lines or really well written dialogues that felt straight out of a comic.

[@jasonritner9662]

My only complaint about this show was the fact it was released on Wednesday mornings. Literally the only one. I was fully prepared to get up early and make myself a bowl of cereal and turn it on every single week. That tiny bit extra would have made me happier, but that's amazing that my only complaint is they didn't perfectly force me to relive waiting for a new episode as if I were a child again. Perfection. More please.

[@jacobsimon452]

Huge X-men fan here. Loved the movies and cartoons. Never saw the 90’s show I wasn’t alive when it came out and always thought it looked corny. But holy shit X-men 97 is hands down the best superhero cartoon since Batman the animated series. Marvel knocked it out of the park with the show! Cyclops is now one of my favorite X-men!!

[@TheBlueArmageddon]

Episode 2s court scene gave me literall chills

[@89sigma43]

X-Men ‘97 isn’t just one of the best shows of the year, it’s also one of the best Marvel series of all-time.

[@kdusel1991]

Facts! They just did everything perfectly!

[@rommelgonzalez2730]

A lot people say doug talks too much about this show, but you're wrong he hasn't spoken enough.

[@HannahDuncanRafty]

The post credit scene was very moving 👍
