#XMen97 is FANTASTIC! It upholds the serialized melodrama of the og with more bite to its commentary. The writing is exceptional. Magneto is sensational, the action X-PLOSIVE, I don't think I've ever liked Cyclops more. It perfectly balances nostalgia with innovation. Loved it! pic.twitter.com/7BzDIJGJqd

#XMen97 is absolutely ASTOUNDING. I'm floored by how much love this show has for the entire idea of the #Xmen!

#XMen97 is E-X-CELLENT! A mature, familiar continuation of the beloved show. The first 3 episodes honour the comic storylines & provide gripping cliffhangers. Animation like this comes once a generation.

Boy, does it feel good to hear that WICKED theme song again! pic.twitter.com/7unHGfX0Se
#XMen97 is a FRESH and X-TRAORDINARY revival of one of the most iconic animated series ever. I watched 3 episodes, all with ASTONISHING animation, terrific team dynamics, and banger soundtrack. This is the DEFINITIVE incarnation of the X-Men and a must watch for fans old and new. pic.twitter.com/uy4THfFV8B

Watched the first three eps of #XMen97 and just a blast from the past and a love letter to the 90s animated show. The mutants we love are back and there are so many emotions from laughter to excitement to sadness. pic.twitter.com/Ei0bXtEEBj

After rewatching the original #xmen animated series and now the first couple episodes of #XMen97 – I can honestly say the series is fantastic! It's how you remember, preserving the characters & themes, yet evolved with a more cinematic touch and beautiful action scenes. pic.twitter.com/l2fmNO1PKQ

I got to see 3 episodes of X-MEN ‘97 & it is nostalgia handled perfectly!

The action & use of powers are awesome & creative, it’s pleasantly hilarious & surprisingly…sexy???
This is a show for both OG & new fans! The #XMen are BACK! @MarvelStudios #XMen97 pic.twitter.com/GdFK3cv2Nc
From the incredible near shot for shot recreation of the opening credits to the jaw-dropping inventive use of the powers, and every gorgeous frame, #XMen97 has set a new bar for storytelling in animation. Set your hopes high, the #XMen will still exceed your expectations pic.twitter.com/vPguow21Kt

If you’re wondering just how much of an upgrade #XMen97 is, I genuinely belly laughed when I saw “Dolby Vision • Atmos” in the end credits. It is clean, it’s sleek, it’s sexy, and MY GOD, that opening title sequence is stunning in ultra high definition. pic.twitter.com/FCznbLbryS

Okay, now I can say I've seen 3 episodes of #XMen97! It's on the whole good, a solid continuation of XTAS' vibe—but that means it has a few of that show's stumbling points, too. When it's great, it's great, and so far that's more often than not. Scott fans will be feasting. pic.twitter.com/itMkV922Wv

#XMen97 is freaking NUTS. I knew very little about the #XMen but the series completely blew me away & I’m a diehard fan now. My favorite thing is the show is also pretty horny??

They know what the people want. One of the men was in a crop top at one point and EVERYONE gasped 😱 pic.twitter.com/vzca6QWkmD
Just screened the first 3 eps of #XMen97 & I couldn’t be happier with it. When that theme song kicked in, it feels like I was transported back in time. The story, performances, & animation are great, w/ cliffhangers that’ll make you scream. A must watch. pic.twitter.com/sCSm6YD1Es

#XMen97 is so good I honestly am having trouble finding the words. Gorgeous animation and wonderful character work. The character drama really highlights why they were once Marvel’s most popular title. This will certainly remind audiences why The X-Men rule. pic.twitter.com/zrhgsXOAqW

I've seen the first 3 episodes of #XMen97, and this show understood the assignment. It excels as a revival of X-Men: The Animated Series, boasting improved animation and storytelling, but still feeling like a proper continuation. And yes, the opening credits continue to slap! pic.twitter.com/Wd0i2aqRfF

The first 3 episodes of #XMen97 are a perfect blend of brand new stories and nostalgia.

Each episode feels like an enhanced version of the original with the same heart & soul that makes the #XMen so special.
The intro still hits incredibly hard and Cyclops is the stand out. pic.twitter.com/fU9BJZU9qH
I watched the first 3 episodes of #XMen97, and I loved them! I used to wake up early on Saturday mornings to watch the original series with my dad, and the nostalgia hit perfectly.

The action and use of powers were awesome, and I loved hearing Alison Sealy-Smith again as Storm. pic.twitter.com/95MRmArzIk
I think what I enjoyed the most about the first three episodes of X-Men '97 was keeping that sense of epic, long-form storytelling. They are not only building off of the previous five seasons, but they are clearly setting up huge season-long arcs if not even longer! #XMen97 pic.twitter.com/Zm4hvn1nhz
— Jeffrey Harris (@Wheeljack83) March 14, 2024
I really enjoyed the first 3 eps of #XMen97! Lots of nods to classic Chris Claremont stories the OG series never got to. They do a “fast forward” version of one of my favorite X-Men arcs ever, condensing years of stories into a couple eps, but it works for me. “To me my X-Men!” pic.twitter.com/TqlAIUbN1G

The first three episodes of #Xmen97 are a total blast from the past. It’s got that classic TAS episodic pacing and the new animation gives it a modern cinematic feel. Do not skip the intros. Those who grew up with it will love how it stays true to the spirit of the early seasons. pic.twitter.com/BSJo7UEOzR

#XMen97 is PHENOMENAL! It seamlessly blends nostalgia with modern animation, capturing the essence of the beloved '90s series with a fresh perspective. The action and fight scenes are INCREDIBLE! Everything feels upgraded but still familiar. Get ready, Bub. This one cuts deep! pic.twitter.com/uitZXRzG4h

Seeing the first 3 eps of #XMen97 was the happiest I’ve been watching anything in a long time. Not just a successor to the original animated series – it IS the animated series! Beautiful! Action packed! And so faithful! X-Fans couldn’t ask for anything more! @MarvelStudios -MikeM pic.twitter.com/A5oHuZ2vYI

I didn't keep a timer, but the new X-Men '97 episodes definitely felt longer than the standard length. It feels like all the episodes have good room to breathe and really delve into the characters' emotional conflicts. It's like we're getting director's cut episodes. #XMen97 pic.twitter.com/PZ8lWdPP6T
— Jeffrey Harris (@Wheeljack83) March 14, 2024
X-Men '97 is stupendous. The animation carries right over from the original series and is absolutely stunning. It's more adult, more violent, and a little bit sexual, but still accessible for all ages. This is a crowning achievement for Marvel Animation. #XMen97 #XMen #Marvel pic.twitter.com/bVWocp8OAp

Absolutely obsessed with #XMen97. If we’re gonna keep making legacy sequels, this series should be treated as the blueprint. Exciting, hilarious, and full of the nostalgic drama we love while still feeling fresh.
