‘X-Men’
With New Mutants—and I use this term very loosely—opening in theaters this weekend, you probably have X-Men on the brain. Or if you’re like me, you always have X-Men on the brain—and that’s why you’re more than a little aggravated that a movie you’ve been waiting decades to see is opening during a pandemic without a safe VOD viewing option. Whatever—there’s always the blockbuster X-Men animated series from the ’90s! It’s streaming on Disney+ and it is every bit as x-hilarating as you remember. No doubt, this show changed television, introduced a generation to Captain Marvel, and gave us the only “Dark Phoenix Saga” adaptation that matters. If you can’t see New Mutants, hang out with these old mutants.
