"X-Men ’97" reminds us that — at least when mutant powers are in the mix — lightning can strike twice. Go to Full Review

4/5
X-Men ’97’s second season continues to build on the mutants’ rich history in fresh, exciting and unpredictable ways. The years-long wait for its return was worth it. Go to Full Review

Everything is very complex, but it's explained perfectly, because even though X-Men '97 has around twenty main characters running around, it develops and evolves them with care, each with their own personality...[Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

Daniel Chin The Ringer Jul 14
While 2016’s X-Men: Apocalypse struggled to bring the all-powerful Apocalypse to life on the big screen, X-Men ’97 is taking a clever approach to reintroducing the villain in a medium that’s better suited for him. Go to Full Review

syed zuhair A @RT24180453 1d X-Men '97* Season 2 is another triumph for Marvel Animation. It delivers stunning animation emotional storytelling and an excellent adaptation of Apocalypse. It builds on Season 1 with bigger stakes stronger character development and thrilling action. It proves the series remains one of Marvel's best projects. See more Unt R @RT44552373 3d Season 2 so far (only 2 episodes left) has a been a monumental drop in quality to the prior season. There are no stakes. Everything that happens is reversed in a couple episodes. The quality well-written dialogue and classic X-Men soap-opera scenes from episodes like "Remember It" seems like it's now gone. That was what made the original 1992 show so iconic. I think the season 1 showrunner deMayo leaving may have really damaged the show. The writing quality is now approaching the modern Marvel Cinematic Universe and the Fox X-Men movies in the worst way possible. The fact they want to move this show to be a season a year will probably damage it further. They should look at the Into The Spider-Verse and Across The Spider-Verse in how they should take time to make something great. Instead they're moving towards rushing things and making a large amount of junk. I still like the show and am an X-Men superfan. But it currently sucks and I hope more people realize this. See more Mike R @RT76182915 6d I have to give massive credit where it's due: X-Men '97 Season 2 is absolutely phenomenal. The writing team and the composers delivered something truly special this season. That epic score paired with genuine, high-stakes storytelling feels like a breath of fresh air. It’s so refreshing to see real creativity injected back into the Marvel universe. Can we please talk about the jaw dropping moments? EPIC delivery. 10/10. See more Nik F @RT27410084 Jul 22 Awesome show 👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍10/10... A wont TMNT 1996!!!!🐢🐢🐢🐢🐀🐙🦏🐖🥷 See more Michael G @RT38765077 Jul 19 X-Men '97 Season 2 is a must-watch. The first three episodes are awesome. Cable has his own team, the X-Force. The X-Force should have a spin-off TV series. Wolverine gets his adamantium claws back. There are a lot of easter eggs in season 2. Wolverine has a clone-daughter, X-23. She will make her debut series later. And Marvel, bring back Spider-Man TAS, a sequel to Spider-Man '98. Also, bring back Fantastic Four TAS, a sequel to Fantastic Four '96. See more @RT18416010 Jul 16 As the story enters its latter half and progresses toward the final episodes, I am very much looking forward to seeing what kind of conclusion it will reach See more Read all reviews
