X-Men '97
, which picks up where the iconic
X-Men: The Animated Series
left off, is here. After a long wait, the highly anticipated sequel wowed fans with its first two episodes in its arrival on Disney Plus, combining elements from the original 1990s series with slight modern touches.
The animated show, which feels like a time machine back to the 90s, is Marvel Studios' first universally acclaimed project in what feels like forever. It's currently sitting at 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, proving that the MCU can still call on "it" whenever the situation calls. But perhaps because it's a callback to the animated shows of old, each episode ends on a cliffhanger. Older audiences will remember the days when they'll talk about the last episode for at least a week, theorizing about what will happen next.X-Men '97 has somehow captured that very same feeling. The only difference is the conversations are happening real-time across multiple continents all over the internet.
