X-Men '97
tv·TV-14·Mar 20, 2024·
X-Men '97 lands a moderate 5/10 rating by mixing its classic themes of prejudice and heroism with selective modern updates in Season 1, such as Morph's non-binary redesign and gender identity elements, before Season 2 reverts to straight comic storylines without activist overlays.
X-Men '97 revives the classic mutant team premise of facing prejudice, intolerance, and threats from foes like Apocalypse and Bastion, while emphasizing heroism, time-spanning team dynamics, and the longstanding allegory for discrimination through traditional character arcs.
Season 1 stands out for its explicit updates to characters like Morph, including non-binary redesign, they/them pronouns, and gender identity themes alongside body diversity mandates, which introduce contemporary elements into the 1990s setting. Season 2 largely avoids such framing and sticks to established comic storylines without activist overlays. This mix of core X-Men themes with selective identity-focused modernization produces the show's overall content profile and 5/10 rating.
