“Do not make me let you down” – Magneto 

From Henry Gyrich and the Great Replacement Theory to anti-mutant medical discrimination here’s our conversation about the debut of the new X-Men ’97 animated TV series. 

Steven Attewell brings a historian’s perspective to X-Men ’97 — the exciting revival of the animated X-Men show of our youth. We do a deep dive into the show’s impressive politics and significant design choices. Learn about real world political parallels both past and VERY present, developments in evolutionary science, queer themes and crop tops. This episode opens with 9 minutes of spoiler free discussion till and then a spoiler-filled look at episodes 1 and 2.

Read Steven’s blog and his A People’s History of the Marvel Universe  and our classic roundtable in which civil rights history experts prove that no, Professor X is not MLK Jr. MLK Jr was far more radical and visionary.
