Marvel Studios' head of TV, animation, and streaming tells io9 why the '90s will always be one of the most enduring eras in X-Men history.
X-Men is a comics franchise defined by its evolution. There are few others like it that can be so defined by multiple foundational eras of fandom-shaping periods, from its classics, to Chris Claremont’s reign, to New X-Men, and even all the way to the gates of Krakoa. But for mutantkind, the ‘90s will almost always be back in style.
There have been comic book riffs on the X-Men: The Animated Series team and style, from continuations to an alternate re-imagining of the recent Krakoa era—and now once again in the comics as the X-Men prepare for yet another new age, one of the new teams takes heavy inspiration from the lineup of the classic show. And then there is, of course, X-Men ‘97 itself, directly picking up where the series left off, nearly 30 years after it came to an end.
