ChipDerby Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Unsure why there isn't a thread for this. I know this isn't a super TV heavy forum but... Quote X-Men '97 is an American animated television series created by Beau DeMayo for the streaming service Disney+, based on the Marvel Comics superhero team X-Men. It is a revival of X-Men: The Animated Series (1992–1997), continuing from where that series ends. It depicts the X-Men facing dangerous new challenges following the loss of their leader, Professor X. X-Men '97 is produced by Marvel Studios Animation, with DeMayo serving as head writer for the first two seasons, and Jake Castorena as supervising director.

ChipDerby Posted April 10 Author Share Posted April 10 I watched the original series, but haven't since I was a kid. First four episodes of this were all really good, with episode 3 being a standout. Episode 5 though? Not sure if I've ever cried this much over an animated tv show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youngstar Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 I watched the orignal series for the first time before starting this show and I mostly enjoyed it, but this show is on another level. It fixes almost everything I didn't like in the orginal. But man Episode 5 legit left me shellshocked... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thajdikt Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Think the reason there was no thread was because people just posted in the MCU thread but very nice to have a own thread. Wow. Agreed @Youngstar, this show is on a complete different level from the original. Have to see the last 5 episodes but it´s so far one of the best shows I´ve seen in a long time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric the Marxist Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Very good show, but it needs more Beast. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thajdikt Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 The more time passes, the more that last ep stays in my mind. So much depth to the writing beyond the big moments in the episode. Really love how this show is much more mature than the original while at the same time staying true to the characters and themes of the original. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morieris Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 I was using the general Disney thread. I'm not familiar with X-Men all that much but I watch each week; I kind of wish these were a touch longer but it's only a week to wait I have Happy Nation stuck in my head now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChipDerby Posted April 11 Author Share Posted April 11 I texted my brother to watch it asap and he replied back after watching it in just absolute shock. He figured something big was coming when they arrived in Genosha, but he wasn't expecting THAT. I have very little knowledge of what happens in the comics, so this was all a huge surprise to me and I'm terrified of what will happen next. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddyxx Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Episode 5 cemented this show as better than the original series which I didn’t think I’d say before the show premiered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChipDerby Posted April 18 Author Share Posted April 18 Episode 6 was wonderful! Man, the Storm theme is just so good. When she was in that cave, CHILLS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thajdikt Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Episode 7 second best ep imo. Just fantastic. This show is way more legit and mature then I ever thought. Also a big surprise for me in this episode, don´t know if it was know as I´ve stayed mostly away from promotion. Wow these 3 eps is going to be insane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChipDerby Posted April 25 Author Share Posted April 25 Whewee. They jammed SO MUCH into this one. Loved it. Massive cameo! Very excited to see where they're taking this 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morieris Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 We're getting back into "Ok I don't know these people" realm for me.....and then I realized I never saw Episode 1 where half the antagonists for E7 were mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustLurking Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 This show is overall pretty fun but it jumps a lot between eps that are genuinely pretty good like 5 and other that are just ridiculous and don't work at all like 4 and 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thajdikt Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 So excited for the 3-part finale. Haven´t been this glued and thinking about a MCU show since WandaVision. Counting the days to the new ep gets released. Loving it! Really hope they don´t hold back the last 3 eps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thajdikt Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 What an episode! This show is incredible. I don´t get how they mange it with "only" 30 min per episode. Spoiler Spidey appearing made me pop like it was NWH 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thajdikt Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 The show is destroying the rest of the MCU quality metrics 98% from critics on RT, 8,3 avg rating from top critics, 8,8 from total. 94% audience score. 9,0 on IMDB (just 15k votes) Episode 5 has 9,8 rating and episode 8 has 9,5. Only show that can be close to this is Loki and one episode from WV. What a surprising success and once again leads me to wonder what was the reason he got fired for because this show isn´t just good it´s an all timer. Surprised that the reasoning hasn´t come out yet from a trade or something. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
