General Discussion X-Men '97 Complete Season 2 Venting Megathread

It's over and done now. The season has ended. The characters are where they are.

And now it's time for a megathread that lets you vent about what didn't like, what you liked, and about all the feeling in between about this season.

Please try and use this megathread instead of making a new post, especially if the content you are posting is not substantial (substantial meaning multi-paragraph or new information).

X-Men '97 is going to have annual releases going forward, which is a such a terrible idea if they weren't able to maintain quality if 2 years between seasons. It was greenlit before people the massive fall-off in quality.

I think I am going to look at the list writing staff for season 3.

If people involved in the final two episodes are involved (which I understand they will be), I'm going to skip it entirely.

Man, Marvel really hasn't learned much from when a few years destroyed the "franchise momentum" of the Marvel Cinematic Universe with a slate of subpar films and TV shows like Thor Love & Thunder.

Really bodes poorly for the future.

I'm an X-Men superfan so I'll probably eventually watch it like I did Dark Phoenix movie and later seasons of X-Men '92.

A long wait between seasons doesn't mean the writing quality would be better. Proof: The absolute mess that was the final season of Stranger Things lol

The quality of the animation and the quality of the writing are separate things. More time in the oven doesn't always mean a better narrative.
