X-Men ’97 Season 2 is tackling a notable plot inconsistency from X-Men: The Animated Series, specifically concerning Archangel's role within the team. The original series, while beloved, had several continuity issues stemming from changes in animation studios and the unexpected success of the show, which led to discrepancies in character histories. Notably, Archangel's introduction in Season 1 did not acknowledge his ties to the X-Men, which was later contradicted by subsequent seasons. The upcoming season will center around Apocalypse and features Archangel's return, hinting at a storyline inspired by the comic arc 'The Twelve.' This season is expected to incorporate time travel elements, which could allow the series to adjust its timeline and resolve past contradictions, aligning it more closely with the comic book lore. By confirming Archangel as one of the original X-Men, Marvel aims to create a cohesive narrative that addresses previous inconsistencies and enhances the show's connection to its comic roots.
