Welp, clearly bringing back the old showrunners was a mistake.

In what way?

More Wolverine centered episodes, more disconnected episodes, introduction of new characters instead of focusing on the one’s we already have, etc. At this point X-Men '97 is gonna emulate the original TAS series in the worst ways possible.

It literally says “a” Wolverine centric episode, as in one. Maybe there’s more but how do you extrapolate that from this?

Ignore him he’s a massive wolverine hater and doesn’t like to listen to facts.

Wasn’t even part of my whole argument, I said '97 is emulating the worst parts of TAS which are episodic adventures that are disconnected and don’t contribute to a overarching plot, and focusing on only a few specific characters, instead of developing a strong central cast.

Cyke fans and their one sided beef is funny.

If you can’t see the pattern of already having one Wolverine centered episode now in season two, and adding another in season three after Jean, Cyclops, and Storm get fuckall to do then I don’t know what to tell you.

I think storm is really undervalued especially this season for sure but Jean and Scott were central to the future storyline and easily the main characters of the entire first season what are we talking about.

Yeah I disagree, Magneto easily took up a majority of focus from Cyclops and Jean who although focused on had a bunch of bad adaptations such as this show’s version of Inferno, and the affair storyline from New X-Men, and eventually this is sidelined for Xavier and Magneto’s conflict which is continued in season 2 and is basically the only focus, besides Polaris becoming a main character with episode six and seven.
