• Review aggregators show 65% on Rotten Tomatoes and 60/100 on Metacritic for critics, with audiences at 84% on Rotten Tomatoes and 5.0/10 on Metacritic.
• Critics broadly say the series underuses its premise and feels closer to an extended What If…? installment than a standalone event.
• Director Bryan Andrews says he has ample unused storylines, noting an earlier far-future, medieval-style time jump was scaled back to keep familiar characters recognizable.
• Marvel TV head Brad Winderbaum reiterates that any continuation hinges on viewership and confirms near-term annual seasons for X-Men ’97 and Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.
