Comic-Con panel on Friday, producer Brad Winterbaum and the rest of his creative team showed off some rough animation (animatics really, like moving storyboards) from the very first Marvel Studios “X-Men” project, “X-Men ’97.” They also showed an entire, fully animated episode from the upcoming “What If…?” Season 2 (even though, as the Watcher says, in the opening moments of the episode, “I don’t do sequels”).First, let’s discuss “X-Men ’97.” A continuation of the beloved 1990s animated series, which ran for five seasons between 1992 to 1997, this new iteration is meant to be a direct continuation, both stylistically and in terms of tone. “We fell in love of the melodrama of the X-Men.
