I agree. As much as I loved the original show (and still like to watch random episodes sometimes), I think a lot of people forget that a HUGE part of why the X-Men revival works so far is because of the writing and having a showrunner with fresh sensibilities to put the new series on the next level. In my opinion, X-Men 97 takes what was good about the original and improves on it and modernizes it. Beau Demayo really made it work in a way I'm not sure bringing back the old creatives would have.
