    X-Men 97 was fucking amazing.

    Easily the best project they’ve put out in years and it might even be the best MCU project ever released.

    Not the biggest or most watched, just really damn good.

    Anyways, everyone should go enjoy that because I don’t expect we’ll get much enjoyment from whatever Feige ends up sharting into cinemas.

      Was it? I read reviews that mentioned it was so busy that the inferno storyline was just a portion of a single episode

        I feel this complaint. They did speed run through many stories. Inferno was probably the quickest. I think they were trying to show respect to the old stories while bringing the timeline to the modern day. The AOA storyline actually had its seeds planted during the ‘One Mans Worth’ original episodes of X-Men. I think they are trying to get to Krakoa and start making more modern episodes based off modern comic storylines.

        This is just a nerds hope. I’ve been following this show since Pizza Hut was giving out vhs tapes during read-a- book events at school.

          Even though that is true. I want to believe it was more than just 1 dude that made it a hit. Just like the OG. It seems most people on board are there to make a good quality X-Men.

    Is this like the Spider-Man remakes where they need to make some shitty attempt to make a film to keep the rights to xmen?

      nah Disney got the rights in the Fox deal, that’s why Deadpool & Wolverine was in the MCU with the TVA.

      That doesn’t mean they won’t still be shitty, but this isn’t like the Fantastic Four movie or the Andrew Garfield Spiderman

      What? No. Have you not followed the whole x-men is finally back with Marvel (Disney now) thing?

      X-Men was sold to fox to make all those previous X-Men movies with the black suits. The rights finally got sold to Disney kinda recently (a few years), but Disney hasn’t made a movie with X-Men yet. Unless you count Deadpool & Wolverine, but Deadpool is a special case.

      Disney is supposed to be starting up with more X-Men movies after they get introduced in Doomsday. They already rebooted the cartoon world with X-Men 97. They just wanted to hold off on making any mutants come over to the current MCU for a while. Give people time to miss them.

    The X-Men franchise has just been a mess but successful enough to keep the funding flowing.
