X-Men '97 is Special

Hey! How ya doin! Now, to be honest with you, I had no plans of watching X-Men ā97, I had absolutely no intention of making a HiTop Films X-Men ā97 Video Essay. I had no idea that I would find X-Men ā97, in a world full of Disney+ branded nostalgia bait, to be so special. Point is X-Men ā97 is Special. Itās raw, and so very real, and as a guy who had no attachment to the original X-Men 90ās Show, I found myself moved by the story of these outsiders. I never really read X-Men growing up, of course I watched the original trilogy on loop, and adore X-Men First Class like no other, so I really did not expect to be so drawn and invested in the story of Cyclops (never thought I'd say that), Magneto, Storm and the entire xmen. This is al less an X-Men ā97 review, and more a passionate ramble about why I think the show is gem in a sea full of muck. I hope you enjoy this X-Men Video Essay, ramble, whatever you call this. I guess maybe I should finally watch X-Men The Animated Series, or just watch some Magneto send a coin flying through my head.

X-Men '97 is genuinely the best Marvel series since Netflix's Daredevil! Glad to see we got you to watch it!
-
X Men 97 is the best version of Cyclops I've ever seen.
-
The Animation house behind this show deserve a raise because they knocked it out of the park each episode
-
āIā¦I cant feel youā That was the moment where I went from being back on board, to fully invested.
-
It cannot be understated just how much X-Men ā97 has revitalized Cyclopsā image in the public eye. For decades he has been a joke in comics and out, this show made people remember why Cyclops IS THE LEADER OF THE X-MEN.

"Holy sh*t, He found her"
-
Props to hitop for still uploading while making an entire movie by himself
-
27 years was worth the wait.
-
Hitop hasn't talked about X men in so long
-
"The writing is so full of poetic statements it gives them out for free", is in itself a beautifully poetic line
-
Magneto is the goat for sure.
-
I'm having X-Men '97 withdrawal. Need season 2 ASAP.
-
8:55 "to give every character a chance to not only shine their light but to scream their fears" ā beautiful writing
-
This is one of the best modern animation projects we have received recently. I can't say that I liked everything, but I definitely didn't regret that i watched it. I was a bit skeptical about the animation and the return of these characters and the animated series, but I'm glad it happened. Episode 5 is actually one of the best of all time in history of animated superhero projects for me. Initially I didnāt expect anything and was just wildly surprised at how brilliant of a show X-men '97 is. Truly hidden gem!

I'm not crying... We're All crying.
-
This show needs to be studied by anyone who wants to bring back an old IP. Itās faithful to the original, while also moving it forward.
-
Make Them Mind Your Weather Sister! And Them Weather Your Mind! The Jean and Storm sisterhood relationship was just beautiful to see.
-
There's a "critic" on The Ringerverse network named Charles Holmes that admitted to barely watching X-Men 97, yet constantly shit on it in his reviews. In this video, you summed up exactly every point he deliberately missed about this show.

Oh my God, this was the most beautifully written tribute I've ever seen. The love in your words is so palpable, you put so much of your heart into this, and it's true... it's all true. I felt it too. It's so easy to fall in love with a world that truly loves you back. Beautiful video... sincerely. š
