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 6?
As we see the Shi’ar empire, we learn Professor Xavier is alive and with them. He’s also about to marry their empress. However, her sister, Deathbird, opposes that and says he needs to prove his loyalty to them. To do so, he needs to erase all his memories of Earth, including of the X-Men.
At the same time, Storm goes after a powerful medicine to cure Forge’s injury he got fighting the Adversary. She meets the creature again, which tries to make her agonize and give up. Thankfully, Storm realizes she doesn’t need to hear the creature’s lies and that she is happy being both a mutant and an X-Men. With that, she recovers her powers and kills the demon.
Meanwhile, Xavier learns about Genosha while in the middle of his loyalty test. He gives up on it and affirms he must return to Earth.
Then, we see Bolivar Trask running away from someone and sorry about his participation in the destruction of Genosha. After that, the episode reveals Mr. Sinister is behind the incident and is planning something even worse.
