✨ What I Want in Season 2 of X-Men ‘97 – A RoLo Wish List ✨

Hello Fellow RoLo’ers,

While it looks like the premiere of X-Men ‘97 Season 2 is still quite a ways off ... I’ve heard late 2025 or even early 2026 ... I figured now’s the perfect time to start building our wish list. Because if Marvel’s going to keep us waiting? We might as well be loud about what we want. (And by we, I mean all of us who loved One Man’s Worth.)

Now don’t get me wrong - Season 1 had some moments. But if I’m being honest? I was one of the fans who felt the pacing was off, some character arcs got absolutely dragged (Rogue, my favorite Southern Belle, I’m so sorry), and too many plotlines got crammed into too little time. Logan was sidelined. I had to squint to see him during several episodes. Ororo’s arc was once again rushed and underbaked. Our goddess deserves better. And as a RoLo’er? We got absolutely nothing.

But hey, I’m not here to rehash the past - the past is the past. I’m here to manifest a better future.

So here are my Top 5 Things I Want to See in Season 2:

🖤 #1 – More RoLo, Please and Thank You. I don’t even think they interacted in Season 1. Not even a glance. Not a growl. Not a single “are you okay?” between two people who have had some of the most electric chemistry in the X-Men universe. I’m not asking for a full-blown love story in one episode (okay, maybe I am)… but give us something. A rooftop heart-to-heart. A flirtation that makes my screen blush. An emotionally loaded fight where they challenge each other to be better. RoLo isn’t just romance and kisses that make us all swoon — it's wild and feral and hot, hot, hot! Bring it on.

🖤 #2 – Let Logan Be Logan Again. I get it — Season 1 was Cyclops’s time to shine. And Scott certainly deserved it. But did Logan have to be completely wallpapered in the process? We barely got to see him in action. I want an episode where Logan is the last man standing, bloodied but unbroken, fighting for the team because that’s who he is - the best there is at what he does. Give us the Wolverine — gruff, loyal, dangerous, and deeply human underneath it all. The one we fell in love with in the original series.

🖤 #3 – One Man’s Worth: The Sequel. This episode could elevate Season 2 to new heights. Imagine Logan and Ororo haunted by echoes of that alternate timeline — flashbacks, unfinished emotions, and that oh so smoking legendary RoLo chemistry. Let them explore what they lost, what they gave up, and what it still means. This is the perfect narrative thread to weave into Season 2, and we all know it.

🖤 #4 – Slow Down the Storylines. Please. I’m begging. Stop cramming five iconic comic arcs into a single 22-minute episode. Let things breathe. Let emotions land. Let relationships develop. It’s okay to build up instead of blow up. We want payoff. Not just plot points.

🖤 #5 – No More Character Assassinations. Season 1 was brutal to some characters, but none more than Rogue. I say that as a RoLo’er and as someone who loves Rogue with my whole heart. She deserved better. Her fans deserved better. Let’s see her friendship with Ororo again. Let’s see growth. Healing. Real arcs — not shortcuts to shock. I'm still grossed out by the storyline of Rogue and Magneto. So here's my wish here - Let's be true to all of the characters - especially Logan and Ororo!

That’s my list. What’s yours?

Share your hopes, your theories, and your dream RoLo moments in the comments. Manifest it. Yell it. Make Marvel hear us.

And as always…
