X-Men ’97 Season 2 Episodes 1–4 review — these first four episodes are about as perfect as they could be, and Marvel Animation is absolutely cooking again.
In this review, I’m talking about the opening four episodes of X-Men ’97 Season 2, and honestly, this is an awesome start. After how incredible Season 1 was, the pressure on Season 2 was massive. This show had to come back bigger, more emotional, more ambitious, and somehow still hold onto the exact thing that made the first season so special.
So far? It absolutely does.
These first four episodes of X-Men ’97 Season 2 feel like Marvel Animation firing on all cylinders. The action is fantastic, the animation is gorgeous, the character drama is exactly what I want from the X-Men, and the season wastes no time throwing us into massive comic-book storytelling. This is the kind of Marvel show that understands why the X-Men matter.
What makes these episodes work so well is the balance. There is huge superhero spectacle, but there is also real emotion. There are massive timeline and Apocalypse elements, but the show never forgets the characters at the center of it all. Whether it is Cyclops, Jean, Wolverine, Rogue, Magneto, Professor X, Cable, Bishop, Jubilee, Sunspot, or the new team dynamics forming, this season already feels packed with momentum.
The first four episodes also give the season a much bigger sense of scale. We are dealing with multiple timelines, Apocalypse, Nathan Summers, X-Force energy, Kang/Rama-Tut teases, celestial-level ideas, and the future of mutantkind. But the reason it works is because the show still knows how to make every major reveal feel emotional and character-driven.
This X-Men ’97 Season 2 Episodes 1–4 review breaks down why this opening stretch is so strong, why the pacing works, why the action scenes stand out, how the character work keeps hitting, and why this season might already be on track to be even better than Season 1.
In this video, I discuss:
Why X-Men ’97 Season 2 Episodes 1–4 are almost perfect
How Season 2 builds off the success of Season 1
Apocalypse and the larger threat of the season
Nathan Summers and the timeline story
Wolverine’s opening moment
Cable, Angel, Psylocke, Bishop, Jubilee, Sunspot, and X-Force energy
Professor X and Magneto’s role in the story
The action scenes that stood out
The emotional weight of the season so far
Why Marvel Animation continues to understand the X-Men
My thoughts on where the season could go next
These first four episodes are awesome. They are huge, emotional, exciting, and filled with the kind of comic-book storytelling that makes X-Men ’97 feel like one of the best things Marvel has right now.
