I didn’t expect Firestar, a character from a cartoon that’s even older, to not only win the online X-men twitter vote, but win by a large margin, but that happened. I didn’t expect Disney to make a continuation of the 90’s series as there first x-men project. And I didn’t expect the reason for it be that the streaming numbers were very high, aparrently higher than the other X-men cartoons and the movies, but that happened. So while I don’t have a scientific survey of of all Gen Z, on what their first and/or favorite version of the X-men is, clearly more of them know about than we thought.
