Warning: This review contains full spoilers for X-Men '97 Season 2, Episode 8!
I have to wonder if it was the smartest idea for the X-Men '97 crew to telegraph the resurrection of Gambit (A.J. LoCascio). At the time, that stinger scene was a great way to cap off Season 1 and tease what was to come. But now that we've finally arrived at Season 2, is having that knowledge working against the show as it actually brings Gambit back into play? All I can say for sure is that something is missing in Episode 8. Gambit's resurrection doesn't pack quite the emotional punch his death did back in 2024.
At a studio in Manhattan’s NoMad neighborhood, the speakers fill the room with an avant-pop track from 1979 — one that failed to find an audience upon its release, but leaped onto the Billboard Hot 100 this year after being discovered by teens on TikTok. Minutes ago, a group of stylists, publicists and journalists were bustling around with an all-business attitude; it’s a Friday morning in late June, so we all want to get our work done to head into the weekend. But there was a marked vibe shift when a certain 19-year-old stepped out of the elevator.

Sony and Marvel’s web-slinging adventure “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” climbed to $927 million globally, a mind-blowing, jaw-dropping and totally epic opening weekend haul. Few films manage to earn that much by the end of their box office runs, much less after three days on the big screen. It’s the second-largest worldwide debut of all time, trailing only 2019’s Marvel titan “Avengers: Endgame” with $1.2 billion. Those titles reign far above the third-biggest global opening, which belongs to 2018’s “Avengers: Infinity War” with $640 million globally.
Movie critic Hideo Kojima has finally published his Spider-Man: Brand New Day review, and it turns out he "really enjoyed" its take on a "lonely Peter Parker."
