Every Marvel fan is currently busy binging on the X-Men ’97 series. The premise of the animated series picks up where the 1990s X-Men: The Animated Series ends. The MCU series is created by Beau DeMayo. So far, seven episodes have dropped on Disney+ Hotstar. In the latest episode, ‘Bright Eyes’, the team has brought back Steve Rogers, aka Captain America.
In MCU movies, Chris Evans, who played Steve Rogers, is probably dead after Avengers: Endgame. But seeing the Cap return in X-Men ’97 made the Marvel fans happy. However, not everyone is pleased with the way they treated him in the animated series. Fans are unhappy with how the makers showed Steve’s alignment towards the government when he stood against their wrongdoings in movies. It’s a scene between Rogue (voiced by Lenore Zann) and Cap (Josh Keaton) that has got the reactions.

Several fans took to their social media ‘X’ platform (formerly Twitter) to express their views. One person tweeted, “Really dislike how often X-Men writers always write Captain America as a government lapdog when he’s always standing up against the American government and fighting for the dream he believes in, not what they want him to do.” Another fan posted, “I hate it when X-Men stories have Captain America in them because he’ll always get mischaracterize”.
