X-Men '97 somehow achieved the impossible - not only living up to the original animated series, but surpassing it. I break down how and why.

I love how much depth was given to Magneto, he really did give xiavier's dream a try, multiple times this season. But at every single step of that process he was persecuted, his friends were attacked and his people were murdered and genocided. Even though his plan and execution of it might not be ethical, you can understand why he resorts to it. Having him at the forefront and as the leader of the X-men was a genius move in my opinion.

The only thing I feel like a lot of people don't talk about enough is the quality of the voice acting. Rogue's line at the end of episode 5 has me tearing up, Scott's rage filled screams when he goes all out and of course Bastion and Magneto waxing lyrical at any moment they get. It's Not easy making these lines work but they hit as hard as live action would have, if not, harder.

@@Quandris It's hard to remember that the MCU started with the Avengers because they were canonically the least interesting IP in Marvel's stable, the one they couldn't sell off rights for when they needed money, and the only team they still had the rights to when they started making their own movies. Now that it's clear that when they get it right, they're light years better than Fox and on the whole more consistent, I look forward to what they'll do now that they have control over the 'good' IPs X-Men and FF again. MCU would probably even be responsible for the best Spider-Man, if Sony hadn''t been deadweight on their partnership, at the same time they got exceptionally lucky that someone made Spider-Verse for them.

My favorite side effect of this show is watching people who have totally written off Marvel Studios & the MCU as passé and superhero adaptations as “over” rave about this show. Though it is frustrating as someone that is still a fan of this stuff to see people twist themselves in knots to justify the idea that this show is an anomaly and that Marvel Studios has nothing to do with its creation or development. The man responsible for some of Disney+ MCU low points is also responsible for shepherding this series, along with the best of MCU tv shows. He deserves credit for both the losses and the wins.

When the first two phases of the Infinity Saga were being criticized for mostly having unmemorable villains, I've always said that it's b/c other studios held the rights to X-Men, Spider-Man, & Fantastic Four. Between Magneto, Mister Sinister, Bastion, etc... this series really showcases those threats. There was even a time when Magneto was often voted as the greatest comic book villain ever above The Joker.

I've always maintained it's a matter of execution. MCU reliably blew it on villain execution in films, yet the fact that they hit it out of the park with Kingpin and Purple Man in the Netflix series shows that all it takes are writers who gets it, and actors who can deliver. It's not like Bastion was really top tier in the X-Men gallery, but this show nailed the execution with great writing and a top notch performance. MCU Ultron's plan was nearly identical but the movie blew it with crappy writing and bad CGI (Spader did the best he could with what he was given).

@@chrisblake4198 Execution will always be a factor, but a couple of criticisms were that the villains were often just guys in business suits or have the same abilities as the heroes: Iron Monger, Abomination, Whiplash, Justin Hammer, Red Skull, Alexander Pierce, Yellowjacket, Kaecilius, etc... Even Killmonger falls into this category despite being written very well.

The animation in X-Men 97 is so good because it was animated by Studio Mir, who did My Adventures With Superman, Scorpion's Revenge, Legend of Korra, etc. The studio was founded by people who worked on Avatar: The Last Airbender and they'll be doing the animated Avatar: TLA movie. Also, I love all the different ways they used the show's theme. They made an epic orchestral version for the big action scenes, they made a melancholic piano version for a tragic scene, they made an ethereal operatic version for a big climactic scene, etc. And I love that they gave Storm an incredible theme song, I really hope it becomes her official theme like the how the show's theme has become the official X-Men theme.

Fast-paced, bold action, lots of twists and lots of memorable dialogues. Apart from that, great dubbing and music. I'm truly amazed at how beautifully they blossomed almost every character, especially Jane Gray, Cyclops, Storm, and Morph. The minus - a few inaccuracies and major plot shortcuts (episodes are only 30 minutes long, but are packed with many threads). And Scott and Jane's baby made me laugh - he was born looking like he was about 8 months old. Apart from that, it's great - they really exceeded my expectations.

Great breakdown, with only one VERY important missed point. The Jubilee focused first-half of episode 4 (Motendo) wasn't just a 'disposable' episode that was a throwback to the original show's 'adventures.' Jubilee originally existed as the viewer's surrogate - and in this episode she realizes that she has to grow up and face a harsh serious world as an adult. This show was quite literally the creators telling the audience (mostly now adults who watched this show as kids) that they too would need to 'grow up' and face the harsh reality that would welcome us in Episode 5 and beyond.

One of my favorite reviews I've seen from you in recent memory. You made your points clearly and spoke well on X-Men 97's devotion to mature the show and characters along with the audience.

What a thoughtful and thorough review. You articulated the best points and parts of this show. No adaptation is perfect, but I'm hard pressed to find big flaws in season 1 of X-Men 97. Here's hoping season 2 delivers or even surpasses s1.

I absolutely loved X-Men '97 and it made me crave more X-Men so I'm gonna go re-watch Evolutions and Wolverine and the X-Men cause I really enjoy both of those as well!

I really enjoyed much of Wolverine & The X-Men as well (what a tease that it got cancelled JUST as you could see they were about to tackle AoA in a second season), but I skipped Evolution when it came out. Is Evolution available legally anywhere?

I absolutely love this continuation of the series, I hadn't seen the original series, and grew up with a bastardized version of it all, and yet the only character I didn't explicitly know about was Jubilee, it goes to show how accessible these characters are, before the show Eric was my character in the entire x men mythos, the show elevated my love for the character 10 fold.

My one big regret is that this level of quality for the Xmen wasnt here 20 years ago. Folks in their 20s dont really care about the Xmen the way we did. Anime has taken over and the MCU is only here from the house that the Xmen built. I hope this catches on with the masses

I really liked this series. We all know Wolverine is a bad ass so I wasn’t too upset that he took a back seat in this season. I loved that they rehabbed characters whose personalities sucked in the original. First marvel show in awhile I was waiting every week to watch. I’m ready for season two
