Part 3/8:
For fans of the original X-Men animated series, the news is exciting — if cautiously so. The early 90s X-Men cartoon is widely regarded as the pinnacle of animated superhero adaptations, blending compelling storytelling with iconic character designs and memorable voice performances. It played a significant role in shaping public perception of the mutants and is deeply intertwined with the popular consciousness of the franchise.
The upcoming X-Men 97 is set to continue in the same continuity, with many original cast members and creators returning. Notably, animation veteran Larry Houston, who directed the original series, is involved in the new project, raising hopes that the spirit of the classic show will be preserved.
