I don't often post about animated shows ( Blood Of Zeus is the only one I've created a thread for, though Invincible deserves one as well, and I may get round to it), but X-Men '97 has created such an almighty buzz on social media in the last few days, that it's tough to resist this. To the point, where one of the basketball GOATs LeBron James is asking where to watch it.
I've seen this first 2 episodes of this show. If you believe the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the Superhero genre are dying and on it's last legs ( which I do), this reboot of a 90"s Saturday morning cartoon show just might be the thing to save both the MCU and the entire genre in live action.
It's so well written, with stunning action sequences and inventive use of powers, that this is the clear template for any new live-action MCU iteration of the X-Men ( that doesn't need Wolverine as the focal character. There's a universal appeal to this show. It's got clearly adult themes and situations that appeal to adults, but nothing too extreme that prevents younger viewers from watching and enjoying on a different level. This series shows other characters like Storm and Cyclops can carry the story). This show is the way back in for the MCU with audiences. A live action rendition that's more like this than the Fox Movies, is a license to make a billion dollars at the box office. So make no mistake, this cartoon is a huge deal for the future of an entire studio and maybe the entire film industry. Currently 100% on Rotten Tomatoes with 34 reviews.
