X-Men ’97 goes all-in on the requisite campiness, high-stakes action, and potent parallels that made the original, as well as the comics that inspired it, so much fun.
Despite “X-Men ‘97” leaning too hard into heavier drama, this is an excellent continuation of a fan-favorite series. .... “X-Men ‘97” is the real deal.
Awesome continue of original series. It become more deeper and adult, the characters develop a lot more than in previus one, storytelling also impoved over original. After watch of 5 episodes I can say it's power up over original (current 5 episode was fire!).
It features a solid voice cast and a vibrant new visual style marked by several spectacular action sequences. It’s also a series that illustrates just how powerful the mutant metaphor is even three decades later. Marvel fans of any age would do well to give X-Men ‘97 a look.
The pace can be dizzying, but when rendered in the pleasantly throwback, neon-colored, two-dimensional style of the original, it’s also engaging. There’s no time for things to drag when the plot is this packed.
Taking advantage of the streaming format and passage of time, “X-Men ‘97” is a little more adult in tone than the original, though it remains true to its spirit and incorporates plenty of familiar trappings, from the animation style to the memorable musical theme.
It’s truly a fun watch for adults who grew up watching the original series, though that nostalgia will only carry some fans so far. But it’s also a bit dense for kids to pick up jumping in (at least without the first five seasons of the decades-old version to get acclimated), and the ‘90s setting and history might be a tough sell for newcomers. But whoever it’s for, we’re so glad Marvel willed it into existence.
It's great so far! Haters are troglodytes. Honestly, it's choppy animation as that's how the original was. Almost never do I feel genuine nostalgia when some redux of whatever comes out. This is not the case this time. It's seriously borderline perfect - save for some of the voices being different - especially Rogue.
The animation seems off to me, almost like it's vector art with the mouths moving like a Flash animation. Story is okay so far, wish there was more action in a, ya know, comic book superhero cartoon.
This poorly-named series lacks the mood and themes of the ‘90s. Instead its creator seems bent on making us relive the trauma of the Pulse nightclub and 9/11 terrorist attacks. These are not the X-Men I remember from the ‘90s.
So, first two episodes pushed nostalgic note, 3rd episode was..... questionable. 4th episode, oh boy, cheap garbage. I dont think they have anything better in store sooo, good luck with this one.
