The life and times of Madelyne Pryor come under the microscope in 'Fire Made Flesh,' but in a format that can't quite hit the same highs as its source material.
Adaptation is always a challenge—but it’s a particularly daunting one in the case of comic books, where a new medium has to reckon with translating sagas told across years of issues and continuity fluxes. For the most part, X-Men ‘97's latest episode navigates this task the best it can, but the sacrifices it makes come at the cost of a character brimming with potential for further exploration.
In treating Madelyne as a twist to be revealed rather than her own character—itself part and parcel of the fact X-Men: The Animated Series had already brought a post-Phoenix Jean back to life, not giving Scott the time to grieve and move on as he did in the comics when he met Madelyne—X-Men ‘97 can’t quite sell the arrival of the Goblin Queen in the first place.
