X-Men ’97
X-Men ’97 is a sequel to the popular X-Men: The Animated Series (1992). The show will attempt to maintain the same feel, look (even though with a more modern animation style), and theme of the original. It’ll also have many characters people are familiar with, like Cyclops, Wolverine, and Rogue, while featuring new ones, like Sunspot. Even some of the voice actors will be the same as in the prequel.
It’ll pick up after the ending of Season 5, in which we saw Professor Xavier on the brink of death. X-Men ’97 will probably deal with disputes between Cyclops and Magneto, who will join the team. The trailer also shows Jean Grey is pregnant, which can lead to many popular stories from the comics. Another interesting part is the riot against mutants, which might mean the cartoon will present a heavier political side than usual.
All in all, one thing is for sure. If you are an X-Men or a comic book fan, this has a lot of potential to be one of your favourite shows of 2024.

What Happened In Episode 8?
In the future, Bastion creates a “perfect” society for humans and forces the mutants to do all the work. Genosha is what triggers that, and he does it with the creation of prime sentinels, like the cyborg Trask. It also turns out Dr. Cooper is alive and she’s with Bastion and Mr. Sinister. She’s sorry about what happened in Genosha, but can’t get Magneto to talk with her.
Jean, Cable, and Scott investigate the villain’s childhood home and find out he was already born as a sentinel. Then, Bastion activates his many prime sentinels throughout the world and they start attacking the X-Men. The number is so big that everything seems doomed.
However, that’s when Dr. Cooper releases Magneto. He goes to the other side of the world and releases an electromagnetic pulse so strong that it deactivates all sentinels. After that, Profesor Xavier suddenly arrives at the X-Men’s house and summons the whole team.
