In the 90s, "The Uncanny X-Men" animated series was hugely popular, making the X-Men Marvel's top superhero group. While I prefer the X-Men over the Avengers, the X-Men never had a good movie adaptation due to directors who weren't fans, leading to costumes and canon issues. The only solid adaptation was the 90s series, which Disney Plus revived as "X-Men 97." It continues the beloved 90s cartoon with most original voice actors returning. The animation style is refreshing, moving away from the typical SoCal style seen in many modern American cartoons. Instead, it embraces a more action-figure-like 2D animation.




In this new series, set after the original ended in 1997, Professor X goes with Lilandra to her planet for a cure, leaving Magneto to lead the X-Men. Magneto as a superhero is a welcome change, despite the odd romance with Rogue, who's frustrated by her inability to be physically intimate due to her powers.

Fans are unhappy with this romance because Rouge has always been with Gambit. I think Rouge dumped Gambit because her powers kills mutants and humans with skin contact. Magneto is the only person in the world she can have sex with. He have immunity against her powers.

The series captures the essence of teamwork, unlike the Wolverine-centric X-Men movies. Even minor characters like Morph, Bishop, and Sunspot get more spotlight, with updated looks while retaining their 90s costumes. It's a continuation, not a reboot, and the first two episodes are promising with great action, drama, and politics.

The X-Men team has over 80 members, so not everyone makes it to the screen in each iteration. Hopefully, future seasons will feature characters like Colossus, Psylocke, and X-23 more prominently.

I haven't watched it yet but I really must. I'm a big X-Men fan. I also prefer them to The Avengers. There's such an interesting range of characters and powers.

I'm eagerly anticipating the return of their favorite mutants and the chance to revisit the world of X-Men in animated form. It's a testament to the enduring popularity and cultural impact of the franchise, and a welcome opportunity for both longtime fans and newcomers to experience the magic of X-Men once again.

1st 3 episodes are now in Disney Plus. Magneto is now the leader of Xmen. He is a superhero now. Bishop and Morph are now permanent members of the team. XMEN 97 only adapts 90s stories so the woke crap from 2020 comics wont be adapted. New intro is so badass now Magneto is one of the heroes


Lebron James is a fan! He cant stop tweeting about it

[sweerie_banana]

That sounds like an exciting update for X-Men fans! It's interesting to see Magneto taking on a leadership role within the team and being portrayed as a superhero. The addition of Bishop and Morph as permanent members adds depth to the roster, and it's great to hear that the show is staying true to its 90s roots by adapting classic stories.

Many fans appreciate the nostalgic feel of the 90s X-Men series, so, understandably, the show would focus on those beloved storylines rather than incorporating newer elements from the comics. And a new intro with a badass vibe sounds like a fantastic way to refresh the series while still honoring its iconic past.

Overall, it sounds like XMEN 97 is off to an exciting start, and fans have a lot to look forward to as the series continues to unfold on Disney Plus.

I am in episode 5 now and they are not afraid to kill well loved characters. I am shocked with the deaths in episode 5. Despite being a ratings winner. Disney Fired the X-Men 97 writers because he have only fans. So what? He is a writer not an actor. He is a better writer than MCU writers, He can show his D in only fans all he want as long as his script writing is good. Marvel and DC makes a mistake firing him. A good writer is hard to find in Hollywood these days.

I see it is on my favorite pirate site. I will start watch it as soon I finish Major of Kingstown. Maybe I wait few weeks more when all episodes are out. It could happend I watch entire season in two days.

[Netherrealmer]

The OG 90s X-men have 20 episodes per season but an episode is like 20 minutes. X-men 97 only have 10 episodes per season but its an hour per episode.

My biggest wish for season 2 is to make Psylocke a regular X-men member, I want a sexy Japanese Ninja with British accent back,

I also steam the on my pirate site. I've been watching so many series that I'm caught up watching so many movies at once. Yes, It's 50-something minutes per episode.

It's interesting to see how the format of the X-Men animated series has evolved over time.

I did not know they had animated series. I am only aware of X men movies. Wolverine is my favorite character.

[Netherrealmer]

I hate those movies, X-men members wears leather jackets instead of Comics accurate costumes and made Storm, and Rogue looks useless.

[Nsikan]

One thing I love about the series is that it comes packed with loads of subtle life lessons. The one I find really interesting in the series is the responsibility that comes with having power. Mutants have incredible powers and their journey depicts how power can be easily abused if not handled with responsibility.

air breakfast and Bed, Now lets you rent the X-men mansion

[mrki444]

X-men 97 only have 10 episodes per season but its an hour per episode.

Are not all series become very long? I remember old series which last 20 minutes for sitcoms and 30-40 minutes for rest. Now every episode is almost like movie.

[Netherrealmer]

To be fair og 90s xmen episodes are 20 minutes because it has hundreds of episodes
