GamesRadar+ Verdict
A near-perfect ending to an exciting and tumultuous first season.
Warning: Major spoilers for X-Men ‘97 below!
Well, the finale is here and I was right.
The good news is: everyone makes up at the end.
Ready for the bad news?
The X-Men are, uh, gone.
After the UN fires their “Magneto protocol” which backfires and threatens to send Asteroid M to Earth.
Six months go by and Forge is ‘the last X-Man’ left on Earth.
Jubilee, Sunspot, and Cable, though having survived the Blip-like ending, are marked “AWOL.”
End of season 1…right?
Oh, and we have no idea what happened to Logan.
The good guys kick some serious butt and defeat two of the worst villains they’ve ever come across.
One of the biggest emotional storylines gets wrapped up neatly, with a bow.
The Avengers make a cameo.
Our favorite recently deceased hero is most likely going to be resurrected as some creepy scary villain guy.
What more could you ask for?
And how was he even in the position to do that in the first place?
And then figured he could just talk him into reversing the whole war on mankind thing.
I’m sorry but they’re both the worst, and they deserve each other.
It’s surprising at every single turn.
They’re down, but they’re not out.
I’m hooked for season 2 and 3 and however many more Marvel wants to throw at us.
X-Men ‘97 is streaming now in its entirety onDisneyPlus.
