It continues to get praise from critics and spark conversations even after all these years. Considering how turbulent it was when it was airing, this is very remarkable. Let it be said that “X-Men: The Animated Series” had to battle for every dramatic story element it depicted since TV executives weren’t always fair to it.
X-Men ’97
We can put the past in the past and welcome the future of animated X-Men with open arms. However, the plot of “X-Men ’97” remains a mystery. Does it add anything to the plot of the original series?

X-Men ’97 Plot
There are a lot of ways in which X-Men ’97 will differ from the movies and other recent and notable cinematic adaptations, including the fact that Magneto, and not Professor X, will be directing the X-Men.
Everything that is known about the X-Men at this point includes the new members (Sunspot, Nightcrawler, Bishop, and Cable), the knowledge that they will be facing up against the Sentinel robot army, the Hellfire Club, and Mr. Sinister’s mutant experiments.
Marvel has been tight-lipped regarding the narrative of X-Men ’97, although the new series’ concept was established in X-Men: The Animated Series. So, the plot of X-Men ’97 won’t have to waste time on setting the stage; instead, it can go right into the action.
Additionally, X-Men ’97 will probably adapt X-Men comic book tales from the last decade, similar to how X-Men: The Animated Series became famous for expertly translating iconic ’80s comic book plots like the Dark Phoenix arc and “Days of Future Past.”
Where to watch X-Men ’97?

X-Men: The Animated Series, Spider-Man: The Animated Series, X-Men: Evolution and Spectacular Spider-Man are just a few of the animated Marvel series that have found a home on Disney+, even though the huge media giant did not own Marvel at the time. If X-Men ’97 does well, maybe other series that were terminated before their time can receive a second opportunity at a resurrection.
