Oh boy, I thought it'd just be a shitty cash grab but now I've gotta check it out!
Hmm, that's really surprising to me, but great to hear that they nailed it.
I would totally watch it if... I had Disney+.
Indeed. I'm in the same boat as you. I'm taken by surprise of how good they really made it. Back then they were loyal to the comics and I dare say one of the few that did specially back then. Now they seem to not only have the support but to also add a more mature take on it. Stuff that you couldn't do at FOX network back then. If you know the comics you know damn well where they are going... And I look forward to it.X-Men '97 - Not only lives up to the original but elevates it into one of the best X-Men adaptations period, let alone in recent years, and that was true half a season ago and it's only gotten better. It's just too bad it wasn't longer because they've stuffed a lot into 10 episodes so some early ones felt busy or rushed, but it's not just random nostalgia bait, everything was building to a playoff. Hope they keep it rolling in season 2.
