Scale: 0 = not woke, 10 = maximally woke
TL;DR Verdict
X-Men '97 scores 7/10 for woke content due to the forced modernization of Morph with they/them pronouns, gender identity arcs, and a queer subplot that alters the classic source material. Skip this revival if you want traditional mutant stories free of contemporary identity politics.

Detailed Analysis
X-Men '97 continues the classic 1990s animated series with storylines centered on mutant prejudice and coexistence, time-travel arcs across eras like Ancient Egypt and a dystopian future, Apocalypse's origins, Weapon X experiments, and team reunions to battle villains.
These elements largely follow traditional comic and source conventions without introducing new systemic oppression framing or contemporary activist layers. The content rating of 7/10 stems primarily from the prominent modernization of the character Morph into a non-binary figure using they/them pronouns, including gender identity exploration in Season 1 and an explicit queer romantic subplot in Season 2 that alters the established male source material. Supporting factors include body diversity mandates in casting and design, though the core narrative remains focused on spectacle and soap-opera storytelling rather than ideological messaging.
Methodology: Each score synthesizes audience discourse, critic and aggregator reception, and press coverage — weighed against the work itself, not any single source.
