To celebrate our 5th Anniversary we asked listeners to vote for the five best episodes we’ve done in the last five years, so throughout April we’re releasing The Year 5 Top 5! Rob and Will take a deep-dive into the smash-hit Marvel animated series X-Men 97 and ask the question - is this the greatest X-Men project of all time? Should the MCU learn lessons from this cartoon show?! We take you behind the scenes on the making of this series, how and why a revival of the classic X-Men cartoon from the 90’s was needed, and what this series does BETTER than the X-Men movies! We’ll explore the history and trivia behind Magneto leading the X-Men, the relationship between Rogue and Gambit, just how overlooked Cyclops has been as a character and leader, the Sinister story of Jean Grey and her clone The Goblin Queen, the origins of Morph, Storm, Forge, Mojo, Jubilee, Bastion, and so much more!
In part one we explore the history of the original X-Men Animated Series from the 90’s, and the story behind how and why Marvel have returned to this animated universe so many years later!
