One of the best unexpected things X-men ‘997 That first season has coodos from several other Marvel heroes, including Captain America, Iron Man, Spider-Man, and more. After the success of season 1, fans started asking for more cartoons featuring these characters, which would create a counter-connected universe of Marvel shows. However, it is now clear that Disney has no intention of fulfilling the huge request of the fans.
The original MCU
X-men ‘997 continuation of IX-Men: The Illustrated Seriesand that the previous success of the show led to the creation of a connected cartoon universe. This started very successfully Spider-Man: The Illustrated Series and lead to a negative short chain It’s a good four, Iron Managain The awesome hulk. As in Mcu, the characters make cameos in each other’s shows: Spider appears briefly in X-menIt’s a very sweet feature inside Spider ManA man of steel appears The awesome hulkand so on.
The Original Marvel Animated Universe doesn’t always come together perfectly, but it does set the stage for Marvel Cinematic Universe’s creation of connected films. Now, X-men ‘997 works clearly as a continuation of IX-Men: The Illustrated Serieswhich means all these old shows are still connected to the new one. So when you see characters like Spidey and Iron Man in X-men ‘997He technically sees the same characters that all of us grown-up nerds would be obsessed with in the ’90s.
The fans have spoken
Once X-men ‘997 became a monster hit, it didn’t take long for the fans to demand it Spider-Man: The Illustrated Series Get its high profile update. It’s only fitting, since Spider-Man is a popular Marvel character, and there’s a lot of nostalgia for his embarrassing ’90s show. Also, Spidey That his sponoff in the universe would have laid the groundwork for a more prominent appearance than a nameless name (although it was like that It’s great to see Peter Parker and Mary Jane together again on screen).
Of course, great hope (expressed by many fans) behind X-men ‘997The success of the new Spider-Man will lead to the revival of other similar cartoons Iron Man and It’s a good four. This would allow for parallels with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with characters regularly making extended cameos in each other’s shows. In addition, this will lead to greater storytelling opportunities for Disney writers while making this intertwining world feel as crazy and live as the world of Marvel comics.
Disney is ignoring the biggest fan request
Unfortunately, however, Disney has not shown that it plans to deliver on the hopes of fans through the cartoon universe. We’ve got a lot of series planned since X-men ‘997 down, including Wakanda eyes, Your friendly neighbor spider-manand miniseries Marvel Zombies. However, there has never been a real attempt to connect these cartoons together, and there have been no announcements of future shows that will join our beloved adaptations to create a connected universe.
Obviously, it takes a long time to create a series of images, so it’s not like the mouse house does it hit several shows of your friend X-men ‘997 right now. But the fact that we have never heard much like announcement About renewal Spider-Man: The Illustrated Series It seems like direct evidence that we won’t find fans of the connected universe That’s unfortunate, because if Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars Bombshell or the next reset of the MCU opens for fans, the height of the dry cartoons may be the only thing standing between Marvel and the complete culture of Pop Culture.
