I hate all these reboots and nostalgia plays, and I was ready to completely dismiss X-Men '97. And God, it just... nailed it. So hard. I was incredibly moved by the fidelity to the original but also the contemporary shifts in perspective and the more complex evolution of themes addressed decades ago. I was simply mad about it, it was just a perfect object, and for people who like that kind of stuff, that NEVER happens.
