I want to be fully excited for X-Men '97, but I don't think Disney/Marvel deserves any benefit of the doubt right now. Above all, I just want the writing to actually be good.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Rouge making me feel

Hopefully rouge

Within a year we can probably have AI created entire episodes of this that are truer to form. AI is moving that fast with video. A year ago, it was completely bizarre frames that made no sense, now its this.

I hope they understand the assignment.

Que pomp!!

I wonder if they are going for more of a younger, Anna Paquin look, while she is fairly pretty, has never been bootylicious

Pomp

 

[Darkmakaimura]

I don't think I've seen that

I'd like a Todd McFarland written and animated x men series

He's a great artist.p

That ass is flat lol

Yeah, this is pure nostalgia bait as I said previously, I'm not watching this.

I heard they deflated Rogue's ass.

I came to post the same thing, but from Twitter. LOL!

So, I haven't really been keeping up other than hearing all about the shitshow that surrounds it but in seeing this clip did they go completely 3D?

The first clip released awhile back the animation had seemed oddly stilted but in seeing this new clip it's screaming 3D.

 

[RavageX]

Wow, not to keep harping on the same thing but Rouge looks very poor compared to the original.

At least they won't have inconsistency anymore by switching animation studios.

 

[Toons]

The clip they released was pretty cool. Great animation, I wasn't sure id like the style but it looks like a moving comic book.

I was considering skipping this but I'll eventually check it out, even tho its been 20 years since I watched the original.

And by the way rogues button is pretty flat in literally every other frame of the original toon, that one sequence they drew it way out of proportion which is why it became a meme in the first place lol

I'm sure about the art style. It almost looks like AI generated.

The first two episodes were pretty awesome and in line like the OG toon! The animation is better than the final season, that's for sure! A TON BETTER!

Y'all really need to give this a chance... It's like the show never ended!

‘X-Men ’97’ EP Brad Winderbaum on Kevin Feige’s Mandate and How ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ Updated MCU Canon

The beloved animated series has a theme song that still resonates 30 years later, prompting Feige to say, "If we can get the cast and we can get the song, let's do it."

www.hollywoodreporter.com

"Following the success of What If…?, when we were able to make more animated shows, [X-Men '97] was my first idea out of the box. And Kevin [Feige] was like, 'Alright, if we can get the [original] cast and we can get the song, let's do it.' And fortunately, we were able to do that,"

 

[DForce]

Exceeded my expectations. Both episodes were great.

Fine I'll watch it but I have to rewatch the previous seasons due to not watching them ever since I was a kid

 

[Toons]

I dont have D plus and haven't watched the original in ages so it'll be a minute but I caught the intro and it's amazing. The same intro with morph and bishop added and some slick animation but it plays out exactly like before. Very cool.

 

[Elbereth]

This show made me renew my Disney+ sub. I'll consider keeping the sub if the remaining episodes are as magnificent as the first.

The nostalgia, original voices (for most of the cast) dialogue, and foreshadowing left me in awe.

 

[Faust]

This looks as good as the Flash Animation on Newgrounds back in the mid 2000s.

 

[Romulus]

Yeah I think myself and others are going to be eating some crow now. This is actually good.

 

[Toons]

Maybe I'll check it out when I resub in May or June

I watched the first two episodes. It's really good. Maybe it's just the nostalgia I have for the original series, but it reminds me why I fell in love with X-Men growing up. I will definitely continue watching this.

 

[ManaByte]

The animation is so much better while retaining the character designs.

 

[FinalBossWithTheMostPower]

I didnt think it could be done, but they killed it.

The series is deeper, more refined and relevant than it ever was.

Plus, they're dropping Age of Apocalypse seeds already.

The only odd thing, possibly, is how they're handling Wolverine and Morph...

I'm surprised I'm actually enjoying this show more than I thought I would especially since it's Marvel Animation

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Oh boy.

Edit: watching now. The animation may be "better" but the art style is really strange. What's with the film grain?

 

[rkofan87]

i will get on blue ray when it comes out.

 

[TonberrysKnife]

I feel like the animation is off personally. Story is pretty decent. Not bad so far.

The paper they drew it on was just rough.

 

[CGNoire]

Suprise! Suprise! Suprise!.....i actually liked it.

 

[ManaByte]

The first X-Men thing Marvel Studios made is better than anything Fox has done in 20 years.

I wouldn't go that far. Not when X-Men: First Class exists.

The only reason First Class existed was so Matthew Vaughn could knock up January Jones.

And from what I seen can't act for shit

 

[kondorBonk]

So far really liking it. Animation while nicer it a big jarring at times. Jubilee is the main culprit this so many facial expressions each scene. Giving everyone kissable lips is also off putting.

Biggest downgrade is in the intro song. No church bells!

Much larger focus on Cyclops who has always been my favorite character. Using his eyes for movement in the fight scenes is great.

 

[clem84]

I saw the first 2 episodes. It's really good. The ending of the 2nd episode was really epic. I like the animation. Yeah it looks different, but they did good. The feel of the show is intact. You can tell they watched the OG cartoon from beginning to end.

Spoiler: End of ep 2 spoiler

Storm!
