So, X-Men ‘97 is almost done with its first season, and I genuinely can’t stop thinking about it. The action is insane, I’m obsessed with the animation style, it basically fixed Cyclops’ reputation overnight. The way it adapts lesser known stories from the comics and leans into the personal drama that made them so special. And the way that this revival of a 30 year old Saturday morning cartoon is able to be a mature and nuanced look into bigotry and hate and tell some of the best X-Men stories of all time.
And so it’s gotten me thinking, what other shows should get the same treatment? What animated shows were cancelled before their time? That could maybe benefit from more modern animation and a more mature approach to storytelling? The superhero genre alone is ripe with series that were cancelled after just a couple of seasons because of studio meddling or rights issues, a lot of which ended on cliffhangers that haven’t been able to be resolved decades later.
Animated reboots can be 50/50, usually they just lead to disappointment. But with X-Men ‘97, it’s gotten me excited about the prospect of some of these shows being able to make a return.
And so these are some animated series that I think deserve the X-Men ‘97 Treatment. I'm not just shamelessly copying the Invincible video I promise.
With great power, there must also come great responsibility:

That movie was so bad DC chose to distance themselves from the Green Lantern mythos and either have them as background cameos or shown as wusses and jokes (I could NOT take Apokolips War seriously after around 50-75% of DCAMU characters d13d like complete chumps or as background noise, including the ENTIRE GREEN LANTERN CORPS!!).

Earths Mightiest Heroes needs to come back. It was done so dirty by Disney and the plans released sounded great

[@SecretMagician]

After EMH came out, Hank and Janet really have been getting the short end of the stick in other media. Which is unfortunate because EMH showed that they can be adapted without having Hank being abusive or something like that (it's unfortunately become his well known trait, the writers of Secret Invasion wanted to retcon it with a Skrull but Marvel vetoed it for that reason) and giving Janet a personality (she even named the team for crying out loud!). I was quite disappointed that the MCU film kept getting rescheduled from Phase 1 and changed from having Hank to Scott with Hank being his mentor and Hope being the Wasp (which barely has that big of an impact), that coupled with Edgar Wright leaving made me not like that movie franchise as much as I used to. Hank Pym and Janet van Dyne CAN be portrayed without referencing that and giving them personalities.

[@wolf-gh2dz]

Actually, a Fantastic Four animated show already exists it is called Fantastic Four: Earth's Greatest Heroes (2006). While it's not really as deep or complex in themes like Xmen: The Animated Series, Justice League: Unlimited or Spectacular Spiderman it's still a pretty underrated and overlooked show that embraced the fun loveable, sci-fi and weirdness of the Fantastic Four and gave pretty solid takes on Marvels First Family and why they're a family with really crazy anime style of animation that I actually really like. I wish more people talked about it and Id love to see this show get the X-Men 97 treatment or give us a new F4 animated show with real passion and love for the characters and stories

[@milkiassamuel780]

​​​@@kendi5391Actually the Fantastic Four in the show did travel a couple times outside of Earth, in fact there were multiple episodes where they travelled to places like The Negative Zone where they faced against Annihulus who was being manipulated by Doctor Doom, there waa another episode where the Fantastic Four were under trial by the Kree Empire and travelled to Hala by Ronan. Another episode had the Fantastic Four meet Namor and they travelled into the ocean to discover Atlantis. Not to mention they also fought off Mole Man multiple times in Subtorania beneath the Earth. In fact there was one episode where the Fantastic Four literally travelled through time on a scientific exploration and accidentally let Doom change the future so he rule the world in a new alternative future and they had to travel to the moment when The Fantastic Four first got their powers

I’m also up for him doing a Visions short or in a new era like during the Hundred Years’ War/Republic Dark Age.

You're a real one for saying Genndy and his team should get a shot at another Star wars project. I'm working on a review for the series and while it's not even close to a sharable state yet the experience of breaking it down and trying to understand what it's doing has been incredibly informative and made me love the series even more.

My dream Star Wars project for Genndy is a show based on The Force Unleashed in some way. His animation direction is PERFECT for Starkiller and crew, and I’d be ecstatic to see how his team uses the form-changing droid Proxy

In my opinion Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles should make a comeback. It's second season was completely rushed out by Nickelodeon who were just done with that show and it needed more love which we did get with the movie but it's still not enough. I'm still looking forward for Mutant Mayhem: The Series but it also deserves another chance.

Captain America in 97 is not a government shill. If anything he is expressly on the side of the mutants which is why he tracking down trask in the first place. The only reason he didn't immediately help Rougue is because having the symbol of America busting down heads in Mexico unprovoked would cause an international incident and not help the mutant cuase. Besides if he was really against what Rougue was doing do you think he would've so easily given up his shield.

I'm not a Wonder-Women fan but I do feel like if she got the BTAS treatment with it's own unique aesthetic I would be.

I grew up with that show, and like most people who are majorly loving 97, i'd love to see that show grow up with me. I'm bloody twenty, nearly twenty one and idk how old I was when I watched the show (probably too young) but seeing something like an older Peter would give the same feeling as seeing an old childhood friend (cheesy I know)

I actually super agree with you on all sides. It's such a shame how DC kind of flat out ignores Wonder Woman sometimes, y'know, one WHOLE third of the most iconic trinity. I absolutely would love a Wonder Woman: TAS show, that would totally go hard. And I think seeing an older version of Peter in a Spectacular reboot/sequel is a fantastic idea! You can tell slightly more mature stories while piecing together what happened between the original show and the new modern version.

I definitely know that Spiderman needs the X-Men 97 treatment seeing how that show is not only the second best 90s Marvel Show that premiered on Fox Kids, but this show is in the same universe as X-men the Animated Series/97. I think the title of that show should be Spider Man 98 or Spider Man 99.

If anyone needs a DCAU continuation, it’s Flash. My boi Wally had one episode out of 5 seasons to explore his mythos in the slightest. Although I do think Wonder Woman deserves more love, but she had plenty of episodes that both fleshed out/developed her character and her mythos. Not that I would be complaining if we got a Susan Eisenberg Wonder Woman show. But poor old Rosenbaum didn’t even get to comeback for JL vs FF😂

[@liamlennon3316]

That one episode (Wally had others too) was much better and more respectful to flash franchise than the all wonder woman episodes which weren't great and were disrespectful to her lore

@@liamlennon3316 I’m not the biggest Wonder Woman fan. But as someone who’s read a bit of George Perez’s run, along with some golden & silver age stories.

[@user-pm6nx1fs2w]

Thundercats 2011 Avengers United We Stand are the top two that come to mind, the last one literally ended with the "To be continued" I also really hope that this X-Men 97 show ends after the first season because it's too good to continue on and eventually become like all the other Marvel cartoons that have come out after Avengers EMH and even Ultimate Spider-Man

[@XMachete]

I'd argue against ThunderCats 2011 because it doesn't have a huge IP cache of stories and characters to draw on, nor the wide recognition that the X-Men have much less a multi-season run. I know the creators had a second season mapped out, but that would be all new storyline and the themes were even darker than the first season. Lastly, the fandom that does exist for ThunderCats is divided on wanting 2011 vs a reboot of the original.

Scooby-Doo Mystery Inc and Transformers Animated will never come back because Derrick J Wyatt(Showrunner for both) passed a few years ago.

[@Homunculus97]

The Secret Saturdays was a Cartoon Network action show focused on a family of scientists that focus on cryptozoology and mythological creatures that was heavily inspired by older Hannah Barbera action shows like Johnny Quest. The show had an overarching plot with twists and ever changing character dynamics which were pretty rare for animated shows in the late 2000s and I think it would get more appreciation nowadays and benefit from not being absolutely mishandled by the network, as it was premiering during the whole "CN Real" era and the only action cartoon that thrived was really the Clone Wars. The show got 2 seasons, season 1 was 26 episodes while season 2 only got 10 episodes, they had to rush to the ending and while yes it was a solid end, it feels like they can easily pick it up again and continue the story, in different ways (if they are willing to decanonize the Ben 10 Omniverse crossover episode that is)

@@hunterfogleman7443 Sure but give a compelling argument from the Avengers side for it. They never really dwell on why they don't believe in talking to the villains to de-escalate a situation. They show up, see a villain and start blasting....then ridicule Hank for being a pacifist, which they all know he is by the way. Also with the yellow jacket arc. They were all mournful of Hank's death and all but when he becomes yellow jacket, they don't think about what they each did to get him there? I'm looking at Tony and Janet. They literally broke the man. Mostly Janet and there's no conversation around it, no argument that Hank's way was possibly right, no compromise......for a team that has Steve Rogers and T'Challa on it, you'd think that someone would've held them accountable or talk some sense into what really got Hank to be insane. You can stand up for the Hulk but can't stand up for a declared scientist who wants nothing but to help everyone. Including the villains? Makes these Avengers seem trigger happy

[@SecretMagician]

The details Christopher Yost showed about a potential Season 3, did have Hank becoming Ant-Man instead of Yellowjacket so I'd assume it happened in some prior episode. There's an episode planned where Wonder Man is revealed to still be alive and joins the Avengers so I'd assume actually seeing someone he stood up for actually redeem himself made him go back to normal mentally and be Ant-Man again.

As someone who grew up watching pretty much every Spider-Man show except for Spectacular Spider-Man & the MTV version that I didn’t even know existed, I really hope the 90’s show gets revived next. Especially after the scenes in episode 8 with how good the swinging & acrobatics looked & in the finale where they show Peter ACTUALLY FOUND MJ finally providing closure after that MASSIVE cliffhanger the original show ended on. I really hope that show is the next show to get revived because just like X-men 97, they don’t have to deal with the 90’s censorship now as well as having so many more comics to base stories on now.

The 90s Hulk series deserves a comeback. I feel like it was the best of the 90s Marvel cartoons outside of Spider-Man & X-Men and is one of the few instances where Hulk isn't just a big rage monster outside of comics. It actually explored Bruce's background, actually features Joe Fixit and lets us meet characters that make up Hulk's mythos who we almost never see anywhere else. There's been so many great Hulk stories since the series ended too, it'd be amazing.

[@oliversvoice4383]

X-Men ‘97 is one of the best superhero shows I have seen, up there with Invincible and Spectacular Spider-Man for how it not only told mature stories, with nuanced characters and timely commentary, but because it captured that 90s Marvel era of animated shows without pandering to the people who grew up with. It’s accessible, yet builds on strands from the past, it’s mature but still able to be a thrill ride for young audiences, and the characters are nuanced without feeling jaded - It’s a god damn miracle, like you said, that a show like this (particularly under Disney) was made in the current climate but I’m so glad it was.

Also the ninja character is pretty cool and I kind of laughed when they killed off Lizard mainly because of Peters reaction. The show is much more dark and mature but not edgy. It treats the audience like adults with functioning brains. Mary Jane is so goddamn good in this show. She is a prefect version of the character and my favourite version ever. She is the right amount of sincere and hot and has a great relationship with Peter and Spider-Man. I’d love to see a continuation especially to refine the art style and bring in some more Spider-Man villains like Chameleon Rhino and Vulture.

I’ve said this multiple times elsewhere but if Spider-Man ‘98 does happen. “Nothing Can Stop The Juggernaut!” Is a story that’s literally perfect to be adapted for it. The action would be so cool and I can just picture Christopher Daniel Barnes’ performance being incredible for that story. They can also follow up on that thread with Miles Warren and Smythe to create Kaine Parker instead of Ben Reilly. Giving him his 90’s purple cape look before getting his actual Scarlet Spider costume. I also think some version of KLH could work but that story needs room like 3-4 episodes imo. So I’d rather it be a season 2 arc, if it somehow got that far. Plus, they have to be careful how they write Kraven since he was primarily a good guy in the og show.

[@calebtrmtherubyminecart6664]

The problem with some of these ideas is that Disney would be willing to make some of them but for WB (i.e. David Zaslav) they’d rather ruin the original source material of classic cartoon or characters, and play it off as if it’ll appeal to people who would be interested in when all we want is the the glory days of good animation shows then wasting the animators and writers talents on shows like Velma. And even if they did make a good quality show, they’ed cancel it on the spot because they didn’t believe in it. It’s really annoying

However, with the amount of Batman content from the comics now, it could be fun to explore newer plotlines that most other Batman shows haven't gotten the chance to look at due to being kid friendly. This show could do a Long Halloween plotline which could introduce Two-Face since he wasn't in the show for some reason. Maybe they could do a Batman Knightfall storyline to introduce Azrael and his Batman suit. If they wanted, they could maybe show Dick Grayson as Batman and do a proper Court of Owls storyline with him. I don't know.

Tron Uprising was a show that aired on Disney XD way back when Legacy came out, (I'm actually kinda surprised I remembered it, holy hell). It's design was made to match the movie and I LOVE that style so much. The hard black and neon aesthetic with motorcycle helmet designs go so hard, it's such a visually distinct world that I guarantee, bringing it back would look STUNNING! I'm not sure if we need a direct continuation, but something with in that same world, maybe set in a different time period, seeing what the grid looks like after all these years. (Full transparency, I haven't really watched the original show, I just want an excuse to bring back Tron in animation, cuz that makes too much sense.) The only problem about bringing back Tron is we might not have the absolute stellar work of Daft Punk's score anymore, but while they set an extremely high bar, that doesn't mean we shouldn't give other talented artists a shot.
