Nostalgia is a germ that infects not only the mind, but also an entertainment industry, says David Bianculli. The industry has created a generation of viewers who want to return again and again to the icons of their childhood, he says.

But, at the same time, he asks that they not change anything about what they remembered, or how it made them feel, he adds. The new animated production of the mutants makes the answer clear, he writes. It served, however, to open up to Marvel a world that Stan Lee had tried to enter for years, and, in the process, make the cartoons known to thousands of readers, says Biancauli. "It was inevitable, therefore, that adapting the stories to 2024 and having original and modern ideas around the superhero genre, has returned the same old ones to the foreground, stirring up a debate that every time it is more worn," he says, adding that the series has much more than a soap opera.
