We spoke to Emi Yonemura and Chase Conley about Montando.
X-Men '97 We're currently in the midst of releasing new episodes on Disney+, and the show begins right there. X-MEN: The Animated Series Since the new show is set in the 90s, fans were often nostalgic for that era.

I'll put it away. comicbook.com I recently had the opportunity to speak with directors Emi Yonemura and Chase Conley, and they revealed the origin of the references to video games in the program.
“Given the budget and the fact that Unreal 5 is fundamentally close to reality, I think it's good as long as it makes sense story-wise. So we can explore 16-bit, which is retro now, and actually You can create that.’ I thought it was great to be able to embody that in the show,” Conley said. “It was a great opportunity to do that. And we also had the opportunity to throw as many Easter eggs in there as we could to make it fun, because I think Mojoworld is just a cool place. I was tempted to get stuck in that game and see if I could beat it, but the last time I played an X-Men side-scroller, it cost me nearly $20 to finish. I don’t know if I would do that.”
“It was really fun,” Conley continued. “And we can do that, so it's great to be able to explore different aesthetics. We have the resources and we have a lot of things to do in terms of doing things that we haven't seen in the original series. I thought it was added. What we want to do is try to do more of what we can do, because we have the resources to do it. And in the context of the story. I think it made perfect sense. So we were able to do it all.”

comicbook.com's phase zero The podcast recently sat down with producer Brad Winderbaum to explain why setting the show in 1997 was advantageous.
“Well, actually, it was liberating in a way to be able to stay in the '90s,” Winderbaum began. “That allowed us to go to a place where we could just do what we wanted to do. We could be very iterative. We could do things that we wouldn't have been able to do if we were more adjacent to the MCU. If…? teeth. In other words, If…? It's literally like a remix of the MCU. This made it difficult to introduce the characters. Because I want to see it in live action. However, Bill Foster appears as Giant-Man in the second season. That's new! ”
