[Disney+] X-Men 97
They're bringing the 90s X-Men cartoon back with original voice actors. Picks up where the original left off.

This show is surpassing all of my expectations. I thought it would be gimmicky and just made for nostalgia purposes, but it has been great so far.

Re: [Disney+] X-Men 97
It really has been. I was a bit blown away that by Ep3 they had covered dozens of comic books and over a decade's worth of material/story-lines that were slowly released to fans back in the day. The writing is tight.
Maybe next year, maybe no go

Re: [Disney+] X-Men 97
How much of a continuation of the stories of the original cartoon is it? I only ever saw a few episodes of the classic series.

Re: [Disney+] X-Men 97
It’s a direct continuation, but as long as you’re somewhat familiar with the characters and X-men storylines you’ll be fine. There are also recap videos that will give you everything you need to know from those cartoons.
I tried to watch those original cartoons recently and couldn’t do it.

Re: [Disney+] X-Men 97
I’ve only shown my kids a small handful of the old cartoons and they’re doing fine keeping up with the new series. There are definitely moments or references that are more meaningful if you’ve seen the old series, but this stands on its own just fine. Well worth a watch. Last night’s episode in particular was amazing.

I missed it on the first viewing unfortunately.

Re: [Disney+] X-Men 97
I need to believe there's going to be some comic-book level flim-flammery because otherwise I'm going to be rather upset.
Great episode, regardless. And I didn't all pick up on what was in your spoiler (the additional detail you noticed). That's....interesting.

Re: [Disney+] X-Men 97
To be fair, I immediately watched a recap breakdown of the episode to process what the hell I just saw and it was highlighted there.Smoove_B wrote:I need to believe there's going to be some comic-book level flim-flammery because otherwise I'm going to be rather upset.

The comments from the guy who brought the show back are very interesting (even if he was fired for being a horrible person to work with).
I would recommend reading the comments in full, but basically he wanted the first four episodes to be nostalgic and emulate life for us 90s kids. The world was safe and made sense. Then 9/11 happened and nothing was the same.
Episode 5 is supposed to be this show’s 9/11, and the rest of the season will be the fallout.

I left these last two episodes to watch back-to-back tonight as I'm not sure if I can wait another week for the season finale.

Re: [Disney+] X-Men 97
Are you talking about the ending? I wasn't expecting that iconic moment from the comics, but this season isn't pulling any punches. No idea how they're going to end this next week but I seriously hope they're already working on S2.
Regardless, overall it was like non-stop references to the early 1990s comics; great stuff to see on the TV!

Wow. This last episode had a ton of great moments. But that last shot…
Hard to believe there’s just one episode left.

Re: [Disney+] X-Men 97
Looking for an answer free of spoilers except for the specific question: Which comic (storyline) was this based off of?

Re: [Disney+] X-Men 97
"Fatal Attractions" (for the ending and last few episodes). The season started with parts of "The Trial of Magneto" from ~1985.
Again, this season has been smooshing together stories that took close to a decade to unfold in some cases and they just rip through it in 28 minutes. That's not bad, it's just crazy how much stuff they're covering. And they're not lifting exact elements - sort of picking and choosing things that make sense for the story they're telling in the cartoon.

I'm still reading Marvel, and I'm coming up on some X-Men soon. I want to take into account whether I'm about to read the same content.

Re: [Disney+] X-Men 97
LOVED LOVED LOVED the original series and this remake is quite possibly even better.
My only complaint is the season was too short! Want more!
Having ended the season, there had better be a season 2!

Re: [Disney+] X-Men 97
I'm going to catch up this weekend, but will there be a second season after all the chaos with the creator being fired? And if so, I have to wonder if it will be as good.

Re: [Disney+] X-Men 97
Yes, there's a second season coming and work was started on it back in September of 2023. That's an old article so there's no spoilers, just news about the second season.

Re: [Disney+] X-Men 97
Well, that's good to hear. Hopefully the writing team was the main driver for the season and not the show runner that was canned.
The only thing that I dislike is the voice actress for Rogue. She makes her sound like a chain smoking waitress at Mel's Diner.

Yeah, this was really good. And I agree with Hep about Rogue. That voice actor really got under my skin.

Re: [Disney+] X-Men 97
Listen, I totally understand how triggering Vic Tayback is for people. But you have to face your demons before you can make an omelette. Or whatever the saying is.
Every time Rogue spoke, I kept waiting for a pause and then her yelling "SOMEONE GET ME A GODDAMN PALL MALL!"

Re: [Disney+] X-Men 97
I find it funny that every episode I’ve watched of X-Men 97 on Disney Plus has included a beer commercial.
