X-men '97 might be the best animated Marvel series EVER MADE. This is not hyperbole. It might also be one of the best sequel series to ever be created. X-men '97 treads all the troubling parts of media by trying to please everyone, but rather than alienating everyone (as that tends to go) it succeeds in bringing on new fans and pleasing the nostalgic older audience. A triumph for Disney+ animation, something they seem to be nailing throughout.
