	Media	Author	Review
		Rodrigo Perez The Playlist	"Embracing the past, but ready to forge a path into the future, 'X-Men '97' is entertaining and dramatic and retains the vibrant spirit of the original series"
		Jesse Schedeen IGN	"'X-Men '97' represents the best kind of nostalgic exercise. It pays loving tribute to the original 'X-Men: The Animated Series' while also smoothing over some of that show's rough edges"
		Alison Herman Variety	"A worthy follow-up to the beloved animated series (...) It's a joy to reacquaint ourselves with the X-Men on their home turf"
		Brett White Decider	"'X-Men '97' works because it feels like the exact same TV show"
		Witney Seibold SlashFilm	"Just like classic rock, 'X-Men '97' is familiar and comforting. Also like classic rock, it lost its edge a generation ago"
		Ross Bonaime Collider	"It took nearly three decades to return to this world, but 'X-Men '97' makes the wait well worth it"
		Trent Moore Paste Magazine	"The X-Men animated series had an outsized influence on everything Marvel would become all these years later, and this is a fitting tribute to the series that started it all"
		William Goodman The Wrap	"'X-Men '97' marks an excellent start for the MCU mutant era"
		Max Covill rogerebert.com	"This is an excellent continuation of a fan-favorite series"
		Brian Lowry CNN	"A little more adult in tone than the original, though it remains true to its spirit and incorporates plenty of familiar trappings"
		Steve Seigh JoBlo	"The series is off to a solid start, with much room to grow and give everyone a taste of what they want. I’ll definitely tune in for the remainder of the season when it drops onto Disney+"
		Nick Schager The Daily Beast	"Anyone who watched 'X-Men: The Animated Series' will view [this] as a success. [But] there's a sense throughout that this is a spot-on retread with minimal purpose other than preying on the sentimentality of adult aficionados"
		William Hughes AV Club	"A nostalgic revival of a beloved series that matches our idea of what it was like to watch X-Men when we were kids, rather than one trying to specifically ape any specific elements of that series"
		Zaki Hasan San Francisco Chronicle	"This show is a welcome indicator of the franchise's future. It's not just good, it's X-quisite (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Lauren Milici Total Film	"A seamlessly connected revival season that reintroduces one of Marvel's best superhero teams and reminds us just how damn cool those mutants are (...) Rating: ★★★★½ (out of 5)"
		Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter	"A throwback in the most ideal sense —so vintage, it comes all the way back around to feeling fresh again"
		Jordan King Empire	"A blast from the past with eyes laser-focused on the franchise's future, 'X-Men '97' is sharp, shiny, and frankly frickin' cool (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
