X Men ‘97 take a damn bow! This series delivered in spades and stuck the landing. Even got the classic post credits Marvel scene that we all came to love in Phases 1 and 2. It made sense and gets you jacked for Season 2 to where it can’t come out soon enough. One of those endings and post credits that you probably could have guessed BUT still made you pumped when it happened.

We Will Collective May Donor Drive - Last Day, Help Needed!
We're in the final hours of a critical push to signup donors for the May Donor Drive. Let your Cyclone friends know!
Please consider giving at We Will Collective.
Yep, there's something after the first part of the credits where they show the X-men portraits and bios. It's a short stinger but it confirms a lot of fan speculation for season 2.

I'm curious for Ironheart for a reason right out of left field. She was a lot of fun in Marvel Puzzle Quest, so I want it to be good. Seems like she was good in a different animated series, but I don't know that I remember that correctly. But, for the MPQ connection, I'd like it to be good.
Yes and no. As in the original series, heroes beyond the X-Men exist and have cameos. There were connections to the other Marvel TV series of the mid to late 90's. Most of the design of the cameos are from that style, but a few are taken from the MCU version of the characters.
No story connections to the MCU, everything is happening within the continuity of the old 90s Marvel cartoons, which is where one would start venturing into spoiler territory, but a lot of episodes are straight up visual adaptations of popular X-men comics so if you’re familiar with those, a lot of the plot twists start to become very telegraphed. But maybe that’s the point. It’s supposed to feel like Saturday morning cartoons brought into the 21st century for an older audience.

Marvel Studios Exec Explains Marvel Television's Return; Future TV Shows Are "Interconnected But They're Not"
Marvel Studios' Brad Winderbaum has addressed the decision to resurrect the Marvel Television banner for future MCU TV shows, revealing that the studio is cooling off on making sure everything connects...
Which new heros? There are still several big names (namely the X Men) that are just getting into this thing. Or are you talking the TV shows only?
I haven't heard much about legacy heroes. I guess they're TV shows? I prefer movies to TV so I don't know much about those.
Gotcha. X Men and the Fantastic Four are heavy hitters. Some good villains on the way too like Galactus. But it just depends if they get the casting, story and all of that stuff right.
We fell in love with unknown or lesser known characters before like Black Widow, Falcon, the Guardians of the Galaxy, Bucky, Black Panther, Vision and several others because they were casted perfectly and the writing, acting and scripts were really good.
Look at Thor. Heavy hitter and legacy guy but his solo movies have been all over the place. But in the Avengers movies he has had a great arc.
It all comes back to the writing, acting and decision making for us to fall in love with characters.
15 episodes total of Secret Invasion and She Hulk cost almost $430 million and is visually unimpressive.
Mad Max Furiosa cost $168 million.
Things are gonna change in this streaming content world, definitely in Marvel streaming.

At least She-Hulk was just bad wheras Secret Invasion was like break the MCU attrocious

Those 2 shows were not good. The reaction though to the “overarching MCU” - collectively - based on a couple clunkers makes one realize how stupid the world of Twitter truly is. There’s been plenty of absolutely awesome MCU content since Endgame. I cannot wait for more. Freaking loved both seasons of Loki, WandaVision, FATWS, Barton’s show (we don’t say that word in our house), GOTG3, Wakanda Forever, and MoM was also great (baffles me how so many are confused about Wanda’s arc in MoM, considering she was no hero in WandaVision, and ended that show by becoming a f*cking witch and embracing it, fleeing a town (with no regret) that she mindlessly tortured for days/weeks, and stole the single most evil/dangerous magic book in the universe and f*cking started studying it! Yet we have YouTubers whining that her “arc” was undone - WTF show did you watch where her becoming a straight up multiversal nightmare wasn’t a perfect transition for her after she started slugging the Darkhold!? MoM was so damn good - yes, including the fan-servicy cameos).
I even thought Ms. Marvel and the Marvels were fun. Not groundbreaking, but fun/entertaining/worth watching. Fun to see the potential for other cultures to get to see heros that look like them on TV. Us white boys have had too good for so long. Let’s share that joy! I still feel like a 10 year old kid every single time I hear Iron Man suit up or Captain smoke Thanos in the face with the shield.
Good to see another fan of MOM. I love that movie and agree with you on Wanda's arc. I find that movie to be majorly underrated.

You have another MoM fan here. A second watching of it made it even better imo.
Can't say I'm as high as you on some of the post-endgame content, but I've been able to at least watch all of them and be entertained outside of Secret Invasion. Even the two shows definitely on the lower end, She-Hulk and Echo, get a pass from me thanks to Charlie Cox's Daredevil gracing the screen and a least some compelling moments. Secret Invasion was a straight character assassination of Nick Fury that in the end didn't seem to matter and the outcome is going to get dust binned faster than Kang.
