Part 7/8:
Deo’s earlier comments about updating X-Men for today’s world reveal an underlying motive: making the series relevant. However, critics argue this sentiment conflicts with the nostalgia-driven nature of a sequel series meant to appeal to fans of the original. They contend that if the goal was to create something for modern-day audiences, it might have been better to create a new show altogether, rather than attach new ideas to X-Men '97.
The irony is palpable: fans crave a nostalgic return to the animation they loved, yet the show seems poised to introduce modern ideologies and visual updates that could alienate the original audience while perhaps not attracting new viewers as effectively.
