The Honest Trailers take on X-Men ’97. This occurs two months after Madame Web was completely destroyed by Honest Trailers. The ad opens with narrator Jon Bailey declaring that Disney has “let the series mature with its audience,” claiming that the public grew up with X-Men: The Animated Series and that all the mutants want to do now is “fuck, go crazy, and die.” The Children of the Atom have had a “rocky road” ever since X-Men: The Animated Series ended on a cliffhanger over 30 years ago, according to Bailey, during which time posters for X-Men: Apocalypse, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, X-Men: The Last Stand, Dark Phoenix, and The New Mutants have appeared.
Later, Bailey claims that Professor X has left the X-Men to Magneto because he has “found someone to match his freak.” This decision ultimately results in the destruction of the team, the school, Professor X’s ride, the country of Genosha, and almost the entire world, but it doesn’t stop “Doctor Obvious” from “making a last-minute return to condescendingly lecture us anyway.” Bailey then goes on to say that all of the popular mutants have made a comeback, each with a different personality feature. For example, Bailey questions whether it’s okay for Wolverine to not be the main character, while Jubilee is described as “a teen trying a little hard to sound like one.”
After making fun of the X-Men for being “woke since long before the outrage grifter economy,” Bailey instructs the audience to watch as characters like Bastion, who fails “until Jean Grey summons the Phoenix Force out of nowhere at the last second,” and The Adversary, who is “like every big tech company if it were also an owl,” are introduced. Bailey gives the series a new moniker at the end: “To Me, My Childhood.” Fitting in with the joke about Disney letting X-Men: The Animated Series grow with its viewership, X-Men ’97’s TV-14 rating prompted supervising director Jake Castorena to discuss the show’s violence and showcasing choices, saying that “just because we can” doesn’t mean we should because “showing too much gory graphic-ness tends to desensitize the audience.” Our intention is for the spectator to feel emotionally depleted by the violence, rather than numb to it, and to experience the actual world as our characters do.
