I watched the first 4 episodes of X-Men '97 season 2 and it's a 10/10 masterpiece that blew me away

If the words "previously on X-Men" conjure a specific dramatic, gravelly voice in your mind, you probably grew up in the 1990s. X-Men: The Animated Series debuted in 1992 and quickly became a smash hit, introducing an entire generation to the Mutant superhero team and the Marvel universe in general. So it was no surprise (but perhaps a relief) when Disney's X-Men '97 revival series arrived in 2024 and became an instant success. Two years later, X-Men '97 is back for more, and the stakes couldn't be higher (especially after the messy public firing of original showrunner Beau DeMayo, who receives an executive producer credit this time around). I'll cut right to the chase: X-Men '97 season 2 is just as good, if not better, than anything I've seen before. Based on the first four episodes provided to critics, the show's second season more than meets the challenges teased in season 1's cliffhanger ending, while setting up an even more complex and rewarding narrative with plenty of momentum to carry the show through its season 2 finale and beyond. In other words, X-Men '97 is back, and life is finally worth living again. Previously on X-Men… Magneto almost destroyed the entire planet when
