What X-Men ’97 Like it so much is normal: the They are or they have no serious intention of being so. Something that sounds strange, but looking at the results at the box office it is clear that something was not going well. Is it pure fanservice? Well, despite being an animated series, technically It has defined limits.
The story told in short, and saving the surprises for those who arrive new, in X-Men ’97 There are lots of nods to the original television series since its reason for being is to continue where it left off, and that enables the appearance of characters that have been seen or officially exist in that Marvel animated universe, including those who are not directly related to the series. mutant franchise. Some belong to other well-known “super-groups” and others go it alone. That said, the writer and producer of the series Beau DeMayo
Although Beau DeMayo was fired from Marvel Studios on the eve of the premiere of X-Men ’97has continued to actively participate with Marvel and mutant fans, offering not only an interesting look behind the scenes of the series that bases their affection and knowledge of the original series.
What’s more, each week DeMayo has given interesting “tasks” to those who wait with intrigue for the next weekly episode, recommending classic episodes or comics to enjoy more and better what is going to happen. A great tradition and also a way to connect with viewers. Even with those who will not be able to see everything they want on the screen.
During the last weekly homework assignment, days before the season finale aired, Beau DeMayo recommended taking a look at the episode The Final Decision from the original animated series X-Men and, while we’re at it, answer a question that has been asked since almost the beginning: Will Deadpool appear again in the series? The short answer, barring a last-minute surprise, is no. And the truth is that it has nothing to do with a creative issue.
Zero: Where is Deadpool?
Beau DeMayo: Well, he was beyond the limits
To put ourselves in context, even though Deadpool debuted in the comics not many years before the series began airing. X-Men original, he could be seen in up to three episodes. To be really fair, sometimes as a memory, other times in the form of an illusion and on one of the occasions it was the mutant Morpho who, seen what was seen, knew him and had acquired his appearance to get on Wolverine’s nose (Wolverine, or Dynamic Needle If you prefer). So no matter how you look at it, the Merc with a Mouth is running around or getting into trouble during the events of the series, but Marvel itself made it clear to DeMayo that this particular character could not be used in X-Men ’97.
It is curious that an antihero who considers himself “the messiah of Marvel” has been discarded from an animated project in which he fits like a kid glove. Above all, taking into account that there are many ways to delve into it and play with its possibilities after having formally presented it about 30 years ago, but not having given it room to show off.

To be fair, the way in which it has been proposed X-Men ’97 It means that the weight of the plot is distributed more or less equally between all the main characters, and that has been good for the result.
All in all, fans of the hooligan Wade Wilson will not take long to see how he shows off in a big way and, presumably, overcoming several of Kevin Feige’s limits: on July 25, Deadpool and Wolverine will be released in movie theaters . Will we see a connection between the Marvel Cinematic Universe and X-Men ’97? With Ryan Reynolds at the helm and Hugh Jackman once again bringing out his claws, nothing is impossible.
