"DISNEYCEMBER 2024 Blog day 02nd goes back to the 1990's with a old school favorite "X-Men 97" it's 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"

[@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

[@burneyboys02]

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. Also that "Black Leather" joke, VERY WELL EXECUTED!!

[@andylindsey]

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 not 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.

[@TheMiraculousVillain]

I love how now I can just re-watch the singer/Vaughn movies and agree with Magneto on his input about humanity’s treatment of Mutants

[@pepito2847]

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

[@kdusel1991]

I'm glad that it also wasn't just the Wolverine show! Yeah he's important, but I like that they knew when to focus on Logan!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@FireMadeFleshII]

I liked X-Men 97 for all the reasons you mentioned, mainly because Eric & Julia Lewald, Larry Houston, & so much of the OG voice cast were brought back in some capacity. My nitpick, I think where it sort of "disappoints" & where XmenTAS excelled is that long-form, extended arc storytelling that would sometimes span over four or five episodes (The Phoenix & Dark Phoenix Sagas, Beyond Good & Evil). They crafted those arcs much like the source material as an experience. You're given breathing room; time to digest some elements, explore newer ones, & it made the conclusion more impactful. X-Men 97 knows it only has 10 episodes to cram as much as they can in them, so very pivotal arcs with Madelyne Pryor/Cable's origins feel very rushed & are borderline disorienting. We don't necessarily need a 22-episode season, but 10 seems so compact for a brand as big as the X-Men.

While I prefer comics looking like comics, I respect Singer's decision to keep everyone in black leather.

Nobody can deny the intro is awesome.

[@BlitzDemonGamer3032]

at least it's handled it better then Batman Caped Crusader and it's fight senses are just as Great as Invincible

Please do a Disneycember on the original X-Men cartoon from the 90's! It's literally the only X-Men show left that you haven't covered here!
