Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT X-Men '97 is one of Marvel's best projects, causing me to worry somewhat about the MCU's impending reboot on the big screen. When I first watched X-Men '97's two-episode premiere, I was taken aback at the sheer quality of the show's writing.
X-Men '97 Makes A Great Case For The X-Men Working Best On TV Movies Can Work, But X-Men '97's Serialized Format Proves TV Strengths Close The first worry about the MCU X-Men movie that X-Men '97 instilled in me was the overall advantages a TV show offers. No matter what medium they appear in, the X-Men will always have an ensemble cast filled with tens of characters that combine to tell great stories.
While I was too young to see Mojo in all his glory in X-Men: TAS, I appreciated how quirky, meta, and outright fun the lesser-known character proved to be. It is not lost on me that a much smaller villain like Mojo would never make the cut as the primary antagonist of an X-Men feature film. Knowing this reality, I am equally aware that the character arcs of Sunspot and Jubilee would also be reduced as a result, which only supports how well the X-Men work on TV.
This, unfortunately, means that the MCU X-Men movie would have to follow suit. Rather than tell a story like X-Men '97 did, one that has consequences on hundreds of major Marvel characters around, the MCU X-Men movie would likely follow the same formula as the less-effective Phase 4 and 5 movies. X-Men '97's many Marvel cameos proved how consequential the show's story was to the entire universe, which only furthers my worries about an MCU X-Men movie not doing the same.
Since the Multiverse Saga began with Black Widow in 2021, no movie has received a sequel despite 10 films being released. Even movies that received overt sequel set-ups such as Eternals, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness look no closer to resolving the various cliffhangers they teased me with almost three years later.
