X-Men '97 Review: This Really Is The Next Step In Evolution For Marvel's Beloved Show
27 years after The Animated Series ended, X-Men '97 takes the original further, adding freshness without betraying anything that made us love it.
Long before making X-Men screen adaptations meant expanding the bubble around Hugh Jackman's ridiculously popular Wolverine, or endlessly remaking the Dark Phoenix Saga, X-Men: The Animated Series was a founding stone of Saturday Morning TV. Almost three decades on, X-Men '97 rejoins the ranks of active Marvel properties in a strangely pertinent allegory for Marvel Studios' fascination with nostalgic, fan-baiting cameos. And Beau DeMayo's revival proves it was always about a lot more than just the catchiest theme tune in superhero TV history.
