- TriviaKevin Feige had only two conditions for the show. 1.) The original X-Men: The Animated Series (1992) voice-cast had to return. 2.) The rights for the theme tune of the series had to be obtained.
- GoofsThe name of the series contains a typo (purposefully or otherwise): what should be an apostrophe is, instead, a single open-quotation mark. The font makes the distinction somewhat subtle on the main title screen, though the error is very clear in the end credits, which use a different font.
The typo may be purposeful on the part of the showrunners, to reflect this common autocorrect error in the 1990s, wherein word processors would see the punctuation following a space and assume it meant the beginning of a quotation within a quotation. (It would be not surprising if the typo were purposeful, given the show's theme of Man vs. Machine. Additionally, while the same "autocorrect fail" is still common to this day, there may be a nostalgic quality crafted by intentionally committing the error here.)
It is noteworthy that some streaming interfaces correct some instances of the typo. For example, on some applications that run Disney+, pausing the show presently shows the apostrophe right-side-up.

Featured review
Hits all the right nostalgic notes!
The nostalgia hit hard, but it was more than just a trip down memory lane. The writing and character development in these initial episodes were on point, adding layers to the already rich world of the X-Men. It felt like catching up with old friends who had grown and evolved.
What impressed me the most was how "X-Men '97" managed to capture the same feels of the original show while also elevating the storyline in just two episodes. As someone who watched the original series as a kid, I was beyond amazed to see how it was modernized while still paying respect to the og source material.
This show has reignited my love for these mutants and their struggles, and I have no doubt that it will continue to deliver the action, drama, and heart that fans have come to expect from the X-Men universe.
Bring on the next episode!
