The revival of the iconic X-Men animated series, now titled 'X-MEN '97', is generating significant buzz ahead of its premiere. The series promises to evoke nostalgia by picking up the story immediately after the original series finale, featuring battles against the Sentinels and including characters like Magneto, Cyclops, and Sunspot. The animation blends 2D and 3D styles, aiming for both new viewers and long-time fans. The series has been promoted with retro trading card-style character posters and a two-episode premiere is scheduled. However, it has been reported that Marvel and the creator of X-Men '97 have mysteriously parted ways. The premiere event took place at the El Capitan Theatre, with the original and new voice cast members, including Eric Bauza voicing the Sentinels, expressing their excitement. Social media reactions and early reviews praise the series for its accessibility to new viewers, compelling narrative, and high-quality animation and voice acting.
Never watched all of the original X-Men Animated Series, but X-Men '97 is fun and def for the hardcore X-Men fan. The transition in the first episode from the original style to a more "modern" hybrid is very well done.

X-MEN '97: Less heavy—for now—on direct connections to the OG series than expected. I wonder if new viewers who don't know past character dynamics might be lost. Animation is a luscious 2D/3D blend, and the narrative turns across the 3 episodes are _super_ interesting.
