X-Men ’97 Took Off with Perfect Critical Acclaim and a Nostalgic Flair

X-Men ’97 has launched to a roaring start, achieving a rare feat with a perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes after the first 30 critical reviews. The new X-Men series continues where the original X-Men: The Animated Series left off.

X-Men ’97 kicks off with dramatic flair, confronting the death of Professor X, which sets the stage for the new challenges and development for the mutant team. The series captures the essence of its 1990s predecessor with a modern twist. Variety’s Alison Herman said:

“The pace can be dizzying, but when rendered in the pleasantly throwback, neon-colored, two-dimensional style of the original, it’s also engaging. There’s no time for things to drag when the plot is this packed.”

MovieWeb’s Richard Fink praised X-Men ’97 for perfectly capturing the spirit of the original series. He said:

X-Men ’97 is familiar but fresh, and instead of feeling like a cheap nostalgic cash grab, it uses its 1990s setting to shine a light on modern-day political issues, highlighting what has and has not changed in the years past.

Since its release, the series has drawn significant critical acclaim. Though no concrete plans have been announced regarding when or how the beloved mutants will be featured in their own MCU storyline, fans of the animated revival have been vocal about their support for Conley and Yonemura helming a live-action version.
