Fan ArtX-Men ‘97 (reddit.com)

submitted by gripless

Here are a few mixed media posters I made, inspired by X-Men ‘97. I paired my illustrations with nostalgic PNGs I found online. These are in no way promotional. I just added what I thought would make sense. I hope you enjoy!

Not to be that guy, but the Game Boy Advance was released in 2001. Everything looks great to me though!

Glad someone else said it

MY PEOPLE!

Yes a Gameboy pocket or maybe a Gameboy color would have been more accurate

[–]Sins_of_God 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Color was released 98, so still kinda early

[–]chipface 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pocket for sure. I believe that came out in 96.

[–]lostbelmont 23 points24 points  (2 children)

And the Pokemon TCG craze started in 98

[–]MasterOfAutisticArts 10 points11 points  (1 child)

My headcanon says Wolverine got really into it when he visited Japan in 96 when they launched there.

The backs of the cards are different in Japan

[–]InfinityYoRae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that threw me off. Not even a sliding timescale will justify that. Neat visuals though!

Not to be that guy for like the millionth time in here, but you were clearly not around in the 90s. The Gameboy Advance was a freaking technological wonder to a 90s kid and that came in the 2000s

Boom!

[–]Projecktecks 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Pokémon cards in the US came out in 1998.

[–]TheSuperGerbilJimmy Woo 12 points13 points  (1 child)

Wolverine playing Pokémon is my headcanon now

[–]CaptainPleb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He nicknames his whole team Bub.

[–]dlkslink 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Game Boy Advanced was not out in 1997.

[–]EugeneStar226 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This doesn’t even have the color Cerulean. X-Men and Cerulean are coinciding colors. What a geezer.

Game Boy Advanced was not out in 1997.

[–]greenseven47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol nah

[–]chipface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if the Game Boy Color was on that, you'd still be a bit off. Same with having Pokemon TCG.

Pokemon Advanced was not out on Game Boy in 1997 🤷‍♂️

[–]venommuyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man... I want a reeces cup and some lays right now

[–]ThatIowanGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Gambit art just makes me want to play Balatro

[–]_________FU_________ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cuck Gambit is a choice

[–]M00PER_2Tony Stark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gameboy color, Lego Throwbots, Yomega Brain yo-yos, Crazy Bones. That sums up the late 90s for me as a kid.

This fucking artist sucks.

[–]Fellers -2 points-1 points  (1 child)

Did the GBA actually come out in 1997?

[–]Ohiostatehack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. It came out in summer of 2001.
