So, I've just watched the first 2 episodes of X-men'97.

Episode one...decent, if a bit straightforward dialogue wise, but I suppose that is to be expected from an episode clearly meant to refamiliarize the audience with the series.

Episode 2 on the other hand is an absolute tour de force for 1 particular character, and I'm really surprised that a certain thing happens so early in the series (I was expecting a more drawn out approach to this event). If the rest of the series is as good as this episode then i think it will be very popular.

I am not a fan of the animation. There are just times when it looks... off.

Episode 1 was decent, but 2 was actually really good. Looking forward to seeing where this goes.

Pretty great.

Looking forward to more Sinister.

I like the way in which they are handling this
Spoiler:
Madelyn Prior/Jean bit. Like.... it's not that Maddie is around and she isn't Jean. They both think they are Jean.
Good twist on it.

I hope we get some more apocalypse.

These are my opinions. This is how I feel. Others may feel differently. This needs to be stated for some reason.

Just watched episode 1.

Erm... I think that I might be going into shock. Or possibly having a stroke.

I really liked it. Didn't see that coming!

I mean, they somehow managed to make Cyclops cool. Okay, he's still a jerk, but it just manages to work.

I noticed that Jennifer Hale is doing the voice of Jean Grey, so that's always going to be a win in my book.

The thing the original cartoon understood and this does as well is that to make Cyclops work as a character, the team has to fight as a team using their powers together in interesting ways that Cyclops coordinates. There's a reason the quintessential X-Men fight is "getting off Juggernaut's helmet so he can be shut down telepathically".

Show is definitely a stunner. My one gripe is that in replicating the 90's show its replicated a era before voice acting was taken seriously and the dialog here is too good for some of the delivery. They do manage to rise above that limitation though and the second episode is real stunner, particularly with Magneto.

Absolutely top notch.

E3.

And it’s another solid one. Briskly plotted, which makes a pleasing change to drawing it out. There are merits to both of course, but a change is refreshing.

And hey, it’s more coherent than the X-Men films!

They kind of bulldozed through that plot for sure. Never been a huge fan of this bit of the X-Men canon so I'm not sad to rush through it, but they did a solid job telling the story near verbatim.

Animation though, was excellent. I often paint through stuff like this but it had my attention the full runtime.

Goblin Queen was a great name for her what with all the changeling, replacement, and baby stealing aspects to it.
