When X-Men 97 Forgets What Made the Original Tales Special, Is This Animated Series Worth Watching?

As long as the viewer isn’t a long time fan of the comic books, they won’t be wise to recognise how X-men 97 changes story beats around.

X-men 97 Logo Spoiler Alert

The rebranded version of X-Men the Animated Series off to a rocky start. Although I enjoyed the first two episodes of X-Men 97, the next pair were not as good. After seeing how the Inferno storyline got compressed and spat out, it seems nobody in the writers’ room really understands the key moments that define that story arc.

In the original tale, S’ym and N’astirh plan to invade Earth. These demons need Illyana Rasputin’s powers to make it happen, and along the way, Madelyne Pryor, becomes part of this entourage after she realises her relationship with Scott was a sham. In all her grief and loathing, Mr. Sinister appears to explain why he created her, and soon afterwards, she would become the Goblin Queen instead of what the cartoon has changed around.

This moment in the life of being an X-Men ranks as #2 of my most favourite storylines from the Chris Claremont years. And without that without the invasion plan in place, the Rasputin storyline and her becoming Darkchylde wouldn’t be as impactful. Morph’s transformation into her really makes no sense as there’s no acknowledgement concerning why the Goblin Queen is important to the grander scheme. As for why she could awaken Illyana’s evil side, I’d have to reread the Uncanny X-men and New Mutants comics (Amazon Kindle links) to know.

Debuting on Roku
April 1st, 2024

Anyone who has followed WWE’s NXT knows it is a platform to test new talents not only on the wrestling ring but also on screen as performers. It started in 2010 as a television program which aired on different networks over the years, and some may wonder how some individuals got here? WWE Next Gen aims to answer that, and show how tough it is to become a celebrity wrestling superstar. It’s really about how to present yourself to others and anyone watching this reality TV program may well learn a thing or two on when it’s okay to be a douche and when it’s not.

Unlike past talents who fought tooth and nail to the top, before the WWE existed, these recruits have the assistance of industry legends like Shawn Michaels, Big E, and Matt Bloom to help mentor them. Morgan Belvedere is not from their world, and she’s a different type of intermediary. They are here to see if Brayden Ray, Breanna Covington, Jonah Niesenbaum, Caleb Kelly, Nicky Rodriguez, Julian Baldi, Christyan Reid, Kevin Feder, Aaron Jenkins, Sara Fiorvento, Kennedy Smith, Lina Ducharme, Taylor Arenz, Keyshawn Leflore, Olena Sadovska, and Darrel Mason have what it takes.
