I'm watching the new X-Men '97 on #DisneyPlus. It's leaning pretty hard into the #90s nostalgia, almost a perfect continuation of the original series.
Leans into the social justice themes so prevalent in #XMen as well, even with a kidnapped mutant kid in the first five minutes pleading with the bigots who kidnapped him by saying, "Please, I can't help it. I was born this way." X-Men never was subtle with the excellent social commentary.
The accents, though, are really throwing me off. Gambit sounds less Cajun, and more like a French Canadian pretending to be Cajun. Rogue sounds like a muddled mess of Tennessee and a bit of Georgia, but not Mississippi. I don't know exactly what they were going for with Storm, although hers at least was a lot like the 90s Storm.
Mostly, definitely enjoying it so far.
#DisneyPlus and #Hulu have been out for me for the past 36 hours. I finally fixed it be changing my router's MAC address.
I have no idea why that fixed it.
