The release of X-Men 97 has sparked a lot of debate and criticism among fans, especially the nostalgia-driven viewers. Many believe that the original series was perfect and any deviation from it is considered to be a devastation. However, it is important to realize that times have changed and the creators are trying to bring something new to the table. If the new series doesn't please the nostalgia-driven viewers, then they simply shouldn't watch it. Additionally, it is worth noting that a large portion of the audience who will be watching X-Men 97 were not even born when the original series aired, and therefore do not have the same attachment to it. It is unfair for them to be judged solely based on their lack of knowledge about the original canon. Instead of being stuck in the past and clinging onto an ideal version of X-Men, it's important to appreciate the evolution and growth of the franchise. Let's not be a stick in the mud and give this new series a chance to prove itself. After all, change is inevitable and sometimes necessary for progress.
