The highly anticipated animated series 'X-Men '97' has generated significant buzz as it marks the return of the beloved franchise after 27 years. Marvel Studios, under the guidance of Kevin Feige, set two specific conditions for the series' revival: the return of the original cast and securing rights to the iconic X-Men theme song. The series, which continues the narrative of the original 1990s animated series, has been praised for staying true to its roots while incorporating modern elements such as mostly hand-drawn animation with CG enhancements for complex scenes. Notably, the show has made bold narrative choices, including the gender change of a popular character, and has embraced the freedom to explore various directions in the Marvel universe, as highlighted by executive producer Brad Winderbaum who mentioned, 'we’re narratively able to almost do whatever we want and go wherever we want to go in the Marvel universe.' Critics and fans alike have lauded 'X-Men '97' for exceeding expectations, with its storytelling and animation style receiving particular acclaim.
