X-Men '97 premiered on Disney+ last night, and the first two episodes were amazing. The animation is beautiful, the story is engaging, and the characters are as lovable as ever. Having eagerly awaited its release, I settled in to watch the first two episodes, which are the only ones available at this time. Let me start by saying, the show was nothing short of astonishing—truly a 10 out of 10 experience that managed to reignite the spark of the beloved original '90s cartoon. [caption id="attachment_168616" align="aligncenter" width="1182"] friends of humanity[/caption] However, there is one troubling detail that I noticed in the first two episodes: the Friends of Humanity, an anti-mutant group that the X-Men are dealing with, is an all-white group in the new cartoon. In the comics and the early 1990s cartoon, the Friends of Humanity were composed of non-mutants of all colors. This was an important detail, as it showed that anti-mutant sentiment was not limited to any one race or ethnicity. However, in the new Disney+ cartoon, the Friends of Humanity are primarily all white people. This change is troubling, as it suggests that the writers are projecting hate towards Caucasians. [caption id="attachment_168611" align="aligncenter" width="1570"] friends of humanity[/caption] What does this change signify? Are the writers unintentionally casting a shadow of bigotry on a single demographic? The lack of diversity within the Friends of Humanity in 'X-Men '97' seems to paint hate as a uniquely Caucasian issue, which is not only inaccurate but also potentially harmful. It's a disservice to the complex narrative of intolerance and fear that 'X-Men' has always sought to address—a narrative that acknowledges bigotry can take root in any community, regardless of color. Disney, a group that usually demands diversity, did a 180 here. Why? friends of humanityNow, we must ask ourselves: is this the result of a misguided consultation? Has the push for diversity and representation in media inadvertently swung the pendulum too far in one direction, fostering a new form of prejudice in the process? It's worth investigating who these consulting entities are and what their influence entails. We need to question whether this creative decision serves the story and message of 'X-Men,' or if it's a reflection of a broader issue within the industry, where the fear of misrepresentation leads to a different brand of stereotyping. As fans and consumers of media, we should encourage a dialogue about these portrayals. It's crucial that we maintain the integrity of the 'X-Men's' core themes—unity, acceptance, and the fight against hate in all its forms—without inadvertently demonizing any one group. 'X-Men '97' has the potential to be a beacon of inclusive storytelling, as long as it remembers the inclusive roots from which it sprung. [caption id="attachment_168614" align="aligncenter" width="1387"] friends of humanity[/caption] It is possible that the writers of X-Men '97 consulted with a company like Sweet Baby Inc. when making the decision to make the Friends of Humanity all white. Sweet Baby Inc. is a consulting company that specializes in diversity and inclusion. The company has a history of working with major corporations, including Disney. The following is a list of writers for X-Men '97: Beau DeMayo Charley Feldman Eric Lewald Julia Lewald Raven Metzner Steve Melching Steven Melching Ted Sullivan Will Upson I urge the writers of X-Men '97 to reconsider their decision to make the Friends of Humanity all white. This change is unnecessary and harmful, and it does not reflect the values of the X-Men. Retro-Replay has reached out to the show writers to ask for an apology, and is currently waiting a response.

Duh nuh nuh nuh nuuuuuuuh nuhNUH! X-Men: The Animated Series was a big part of our introduction to the Marvel Universe. This comic is a little reality warping to gush about an early influence and one of the best Saturday morning cartoons of all time!

It's also a (belated) thank you. Months ago we reached out to creators of the series asking if they had any more of their "Previously On X-Men" hats available for purchase. Lucky for us they had a few in stock and on sale! Cue: gratuitous creator photo.

Hey Tumblr!!

If you're interested in getting one of these hats for your very own, you can email the Lewalds at [email protected]! (They also just released a gorgeous new book X-Men: The Art and Making of the Animated Series. Highly recommended!)

Literally the highlight of my entire con. Eric and Julie were so excited about my Jubilee cosplay that Julie wanted a picture of it on her phone and they asked me if they could post it to their social media and of course I said yes. These guys created my childhood and gave me my absolute favorite character in existence. One who has given me the confidence to deal with my learning disabilities in a very positive way. You can probably tell, but I was so nervous here, my heart was racing out of my chest. They were so happy and so supportive and just absolutely wonderful people. I hope that I can see them again soon, definitely once I improve my Jubilee. 💜

X-Men '97: 5 Things We Learned at Comic-Con 2023

Marvel Studios mostly sat out this year’s Comic-Con, doing little more than releasing a new trailer for The Marvels during the show. But there was one upcoming Marvel project that made a surprise appearance at the convention. 

Fans lucky enough to attend the "Designing the X-Men: A This Week in Marvel Special Event" panel were treated to updates on the animated series X-Men ‘97, straight from producers Beau DeMayo, Jake Castorena and Larry Houston. There was even new footage shown of this hotly anticipated X-Men revival.

That footage isn't being released online, but fear not. IGN is here to break down what was shown and what we learned about X-Men '97 at Comic-Con.

X-Men '97 features the voices of Cal Dodd, Lenore Zann, George Buza, Catherine Disher, Chris Potter, Alison Sealy-Smith, Adrian Hough, Christopher Britton and Alyson Court. The series will stream exclusively on Disney+.

X-Men '97, A revival series to the 1992 X-Men: The Animated Series, will stream on Disney+ in 2023. 

Beau DeMayo (The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf) will serve as head writer and executive producer. Supervising director is Jake Castorena and supervising producer is Charley Feldman. Also consulting on the new series are X-Men: The Animated Series producers and showrunners Eric and Julia Lewald, plus original series director Larry Houston.

Several cast members from X-Men: The Animated Series will reprise their original roles. Returning cast members include: Cal Dodd, Lenore Zann, George Buza, Adrian Hough, Christopher Britton, Catherine Disher, Chris Potter, Alison Sealy-Smith, and Alyson Court.

X-Men '97 will also welcome a number of new voices to the cast, including Jennifer Hale, Anniwaa Buachie, Ray Chase, Matthew Waterson, JP Karliak, Holly Chou, Jeff Bennett, and AJ LoCascio.

“This is the first X-Men title produced by Marvel Studios,” emphasizes Winderbaum. “What an amazing first step to reintroduce audiences to the X-Men with a look at one of the most pinnacle eras of the X-Men comics, which was the ‘90s. That iconic style that has its roots in Chris Claremont, and is celebrated in Jim Lee, and then again in ‘The Animated Series.’”

“Over the years, as we’ve met with so many filmmakers who have come in to pitch on various projects, the touchstone that we hear over and over again is X-Men: The Animated Series,” says Winderbaum.

“As an animated show, the original X-Men was the forerunner to some amazing action series,” says Vasquez-Eberhardt. “Everyone that is making X-Men ’97, top-down, is a fan. On this project, instinctually, we knew exactly what this is. To bring this series forward and pick up that baton, and not just keep running at the same pace, but to really elevate. That’s the responsibility.”
