Listen, i’m a casual when it comes to X-Men, read some comics in the 90’s and watched the show, but wasn’t diehard about it.

I enjoyed it for what it was; the nostalgia, the opening theme, remembering about gah damn Jubilation Lee, etc buuuut there waaaaas a lot going on in these episodes. Still will watch season 2 tho

But what is the in-story reason for most of these teams? Marvel wants to sell more X-men so they make six x titles.

But there’s no actual reason in a 12 or even 20 episode season to stop and do multiple eps dedicated to these teams.

We all know there’s no difference between X-Force, X-Factor, Excalibur, New Mutants, Generation X etc. just location and team members.

I’m sure Havok and Iceman will appear again but with the narrative moving forward, I don’t know if they will want to dedicate time to building up random teams and combos for 1 off eps.

But… many of those stories weren’t any good.

Stryfe, on top of the fact we just did a clone story, wasn’t good.

The 90s had a lot of cool ideas but the execution left a lot to be desired.

I collected a bunch of Generation X but outside of the cool costumes and characters I couldn’t tell you a famous storyline or villain.

That's the beauty of adaptations. You get a chance to improve some ideas that weren't great, but had good components. X-Men 97 has already delivered a better version of the Inferno storyline.

X Cutioners Song waa pretty good until they lost their balls and made Cable the son instead. The Legacy Virus lasted for 8 years.

Exodus was a beast in Bloodties....
