Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT So, X-Men '97 season one is done, and boy has it left a mark. Strictly speaking, of course, Tolerance Is Extinction was a three-part finale, intended - as creator Beau DeMayo confirmed online - to be considered as a 90-minute event, but each of the three episodes delivered in their own respect.
Related X-Men '97 Episode 10 Ending & Credits Scene Explained X-Men '97's finale may have brought a major story's ending, but Marvel's mutant family will face something bigger and darker in the future. In ensemble productions like this, some characters can feel like seat-fillers, but not so in X-Men '97. There was even enough space for some of the best X-Men villains seen on screen, with the finale cementing Theo James' pithy Bastion as a contender for the best villain never to be used in a Marvel movie. His barbed ridicule of Jubilee's powers, in particular, was his chef's kiss moment.
Anime has always traditionally been better at showing extreme emotion: there is a commitment to hyperrealism that tends to exaggerate expressions, alongside a tendency to the melodramatic that is perfect for X-Men stories. This is, after all, Marvel's soap opera; as invested in the relationships between the characters as it is with whatever the next implausibly powerful threat the Earth is.
And through it all, X-Men '97, as usual, deconstructed the idea of otherness and difference. That's always been the mutant message in Marvel, but with DeMayo's experience as an LGBTQ creator, here it feels particularly charged. X-Men has always been made for the outsiders, and X-Men '97 embraced that beautifully.
