I don't have high hopes for X-Men '97 either but clickbaiting falsely off a single screenshot is still dumb. They already got at least some things right: animation style, costumes design, theme song, some of the original 90s voice actors (Including Storm, Wolverine, Rogue, and Beast). We'll see how prominent the whole current day issues bullshit is when it's released (sperging in AZ: THEY CURRENT DAYED US!) But I remember even in the 90s they were doing that shit in the books like Legacy Virus=AIDS and there was gay Northstar. Maybe X-Men was never really the CHUD's choice for literature. Conan was probably way more based back then.
X-Men '97 is based off the nostalgia bait comic
X-Men '92 (itself a response to the somewhat successful DC outing of
Batman '66, a Batman based on the campy 1966 TV show).
X-Men 92 fucking sucks not because it's woke, (although its writer Chris Sims is a refugee SJW comic blogger from the '00s who managed to dicksuck his way to a throwaway D-list Marvel meme comic), but because it's a badly made insincere mockery of something far superior to it: 1992 X-Men. Chris Sims is no Chris Claremont, and the third worlder banging out rushed art for peanuts is no prime Jim Lee. They try to ironically play up various cliches synonymous with 90s writing, which works with Batman '66 because it always owned being camp, but it doesn't work with
X-Men '92 because both it and modern day X-Men are in every way inferior to the iconic, to this day definitive era of X-Men that was the 1992 run. It just comes off as just unironic shit writing to go with the shit art to go with non-stop reminders about the far better original. But I guess it's just easier to yell 'MOHAWK = WOKE'.
Anyways, since we're on the subject of the 'blogger-to-comic writer pipeline', let's check out someone who's doing it in reverse: JDA
