Feels almost as if, if you've haven't read (and memorized) the past 30-odd years of X Men Comics, then X-Men 97 is mostly a confusing mess.
Might be just me though ?
I want to enjoy a show, not spend hours learning about obscure Easter eggs from wiki's.
Stop making entertainment homework ! 
@Faintdreams
Not at all. You don't need to have read ANY comics to know what's going on. You just need to watch the animated series that ended in '97.
You do realize this is a sequel right?
@jacklaridian I did yes. Still didn't make the big bad from the latest episode make much sense.
@Faintdreams
He was introduced in the animated series in 1992. New coat of paint, but still not that hard to follow, if you care to.
@Faintdreams same! I keep hearing how good it is, but it's one of those things I'd rather watch with someone who does know the lore (who isn't a judgmental pedant like that guy in your mentions) so that I can ask questions and generally watch them be gleeful (and then explain why lol).
side note, it's hilarious* to me that someone thinks saying "you don't have to read 30 years of comics but you SHOULD've watched 76 eps of a show made 27 years ago, duh" is at all helpful.
*blockable
@Sharksonaplane Thank you. You are so right and you have give me the nudge I needed to use the block button 
on judgy strangers who wonder into my mentions.
@Sharksonaplane I've been second guessing a lot of my interactions on Mastodon lately. Thank you for reminding me that I don't owe anybody my time and attention just because this is public. I can block people for being random buttheads. ! 
Also glad it's not just me finding X-Men 97 so lore/Easter egg heavy it's confusing !
@Faintdreams yes! I need someone who can act like a friendly MTV pop-up facts while watching so I don't spend half the showtime looking things up myself 
And 
I totally get it, Mastodon is like that a lot. Actually I was gonna just block and not say anything but then I realized I didn't want you to feel like that was okay. It was very weird and not okay!!! "well you see it's quite simple really if you'll just recall the introduction of this character from THIRTY-TWO YEARS AGO" what the heck???
