The second season of X-Men ’97 was not the masterpiece of the first season, probably for a lot of reasons. Original showrunner Beau DeMayo was let go for very good reasons, and this season is apparently a mish mash of his original ideas and the new showrunner making some changes. The mish mash nature shows. But just because season two is not as good as season one doesn’t mean I didn’t have a very good time enjoying my X-Men cartoon!

TV Show Rating: 8/10 – Very Good

X-Men ’97 has already been confirmed for a third and, I think, fourth season. There’s going to be a lot of this show. And I can’t wait to watch more! Nine episodes in a single season is just not enough. I want more X-Men adventures. I want more character-focused episodes. I want more cameos out the wazoo! I want more alternate takes on the opening theme song! That was a real hoot! We’re several years away from getting new X-Men movies in the MCU, so I’ll gladly take the X-Men ’97 world any day of the week.

Join me after the jump for my full thoughts and review. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the first and second seasons of X-Men ’97. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below!
