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

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

90/100
X-men 97 is a fantastic series, but for a show that constantly asks what it means to be human, and what relieves us of our humanity, the irony that Disney has opted to only pay for synthetic voiced audio description is not lost on me. Go to Full Review

As I faithfully watched each episode every week, I realized with a growing, sinking feeling that this season didn’t have the clarity and stubborn vision as the first. The season finale clinched 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

JOED T @JOEDLOPART 8h As far as i love the X-Men, i liked this season, and as the hardcore fan that i am i have possitive points and unfortunately bad ones: Possitive: I liked the season, it was entertaning, fresh plots, Apocalypse is a monster, loved to see different characters hosting the episodes. Negative: I said that Apocalypse was a monster, but why it wasn't the final villain? why this Weird Gambit? the final 2 episodes was so Anticlimatc, also as i said the episodes was very different, that was negative because the main plot feels blurry, like: Where's Apocalypse Menance? and unfortunately Colossus episode was like this filler episode that doesn't change nothing. Please Show this love to the show that it was really amazing, like in season 1 See more Kara H @kara21 10h Enjoyable season, if less successful than the first due to the speed in which they went through some of the arcs. Maybe a 15-episode season would be better, or just handling less each Season. See more Addie T @RT08426357 14h Cons: X-Men ‘97 season 2 was a huge step down from the first season unfortunately. It felt very unfocused especially in episodes 5 through 7. I don’t know why streaming series feel the need to have filler episodes. And don't get me wrong, I LOVE filler episodes. I think they are one of the reasons pre-streaming shows will always reign superior to streaming shows. But in a show that has less than 10 episodes per season, we don’t have time to dilly-dally with filler. The filler episodes such as the Wolverine-focused episode, Polaris-focused episode, and Nightcrawler-focused episode just felt like stumbling blocks and a waste of time honestly. I was hoping despite the lack of focus, the last 2 episodes would be able to stick the landing anyway, but boy was I wrong. The finale was extremely rushed. See more Alicia W @RT569043311950 15h Sadly did not meet the expectations after such a great S1. Just was underdeveloped and needed another episode focused on the main story. See more Diogo S @RT15467709 21h Primeira temporada foi incrível, a segunda começou bem, mas ela decaiu de mais. a nota aqui seria 6 ou 7. Mas esse final é uma vergonha incrível. que isso, o que aconteceu? se perdeu no roteiro, se perdeu tudo. Horrível. Cara, o apocalipse é um palhaço, que isso. See more Kevin T @brobrobro76 1d Such a massive hot mess. Almost no cohesive story. Just jumping upon jumping upon jumping. What is actually going on? This whole season is so terrible.
