Shows like X-Men '97

If you're chasing that blend of ensemble chemistry, ideological conflict, and high-stakes action with irreverent humor, you'll likely find it in Deadpool & Wolverine (multiverse scope and tonal balance) or Gen V (fractured team dynamics and institutional betrayal), though The X-Files might scratch the philosophical itch around prejudice and fear that drove much of the show's thematic weight. For pure kinetic ensemble action with outsider-versus-establishment stakes, Guardians or The Avengers offer similar team-forged-through-crisis pacing, while The Matrix Reloaded explores that same narrative arc of accepting power as transformation rather than burden—though none quite capture the full cocktail of survival-as-metaphor and animated '90s sensibility that made X-Men '97 distinctive.
