      Daniele Indio M Praticamente perfetto Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/26/24 Full Review Ben G So pleasantly surprised here. Like many I am not a fan of Disney taking over Marvel, and additionally I have now begun to dread the slew of reboots from my childhood for nostalgia's mighty dollar. But this feels so similar to the 90s Original Version - Only BETTER. Yep, I said better. Why? Everything is amped up. Drama, Creativity, Budget, Character Development... Here's a perfect example of the latter: The conversation between Gladiator and Xavier in Episode 6. Gladiator has always been nothing more than a side character, someone who appears, uses powers, and vanishes. But this conversation added real character depth. It felt genuine. This series is just amazing. I hope after Season 2 it continues, with the showrunner change that's occurred. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/25/24 Full Review Dermot B Explores the themes of grief, revenge and tolerance more deftly and with great maturity. Highly entertaining and worth a watch Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/24/24 Full Review Jeff B X-cellent show, beautiful animation. Pays homage to its predecessor while pushing the show forward with innovative ideas and bold twists. Highly recommended. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/23/24 Full Review Oscar R Best Marvel animated show to date. Even exceeding the original.

      Alex Abad-Santos Vox Everything about ’97 reflects an affection and thoughtfulness, not just for the Saturday morning cartoon but for the X-Men, too. Apr 10, 2024 Full Review Sam Thielman Slate The first X-Men ’97 episodes are as fun as I remember the old X-Men show being, which is to say quite a bit better than it actually was. Mar 27, 2024 Full Review Jake Kleinman Inverse X-Men ‘97 is uneven at best. While the animation and acting both feel like disappointing pastiches of a 27-year-old cartoon that only looks good through nostalgia-tined glasses, there’s some serious ambition hiding beneath a somewhat basic surface. Mar 21, 2024 Full Review Simon Gallagher Screen Rant 27 years after The Animated Series ended, X-Men '97 takes the original further, adding freshness without betraying anything that made us love it. Rated: 4/5 Apr 22, 2024 Full Review Eneko Ruiz Jimenez El Pais (Spain) ... A series sold with an all-too-easy nostalgic hook that continues the plots of the original with the same interpretive voices, but which, surprisingly, has been able to adapt to the times in which it is launched. [Full review in Spanish] Apr 22, 2024 Full Review Mariló Delgado Espinof The animated series has managed to adapt very well to the new times while remaining faithful to both its predecessor and the original comics.
