So how much do you wanna bet that Marvel will revive these two animated shows?
I mean don't you think it could be a possibility? I mean after X-Men 97 i'm sure Marvel is still interested in reviving more shows (Animated ones)
With the Spider-Man 94 comics it could be one step closer to a 98 revival and fans are begging for Earth's mightiest heroes revival and with the next two Avengers films and the next saga it could happen
What do you guys think?

X-Men 97 was lightning in a bottle, since they got a great pitch for a very marketable X-Men series right around the time they acquired Fox - so might as well go for it. But they already have a Spider-Man show which has proven to be pretty successful (certainly far more than the last one), so why produce another one? As for Avengers, I also feel like if we ever get another animated Avengers project (which we might not because Avengers is kinda Marvel's premium brand at the moment) it'll also be a new take rather than a continuation of an older show. Simply because, well, why not? It's much easier and simpler that way.
X-Men 97 happened because of the combination of internal interest and the right people being ready at the right time. Three of the original show's producers, Eric Lewald, Julia Lewald, and Larry Houston, came back as creative consultants for Season 1 before being promoted to EPs for Season 2. The original show was produced by the combined efforts of Marvel Entertainment Group, Saban, GRAZ Entertainment, and Saban. X-Men 97 is produced by Marvel Studios Animation, which is what Marvel Entertainment became mid-production.
Earth's Mightiest Heroes was originally EPed by Alan Fine, head of the absolutely despised Marvel Creative Committee and Number 2 of Ike Perlmutter. Avengers Assemble, the sequel show that killed EMH, was EPed by... Alan Fine, who had become President of Marvel in 2009! By all appearances, he killed his own show to make a different one. He no longer works for Marvel because a bunch of the actors, directors, and Kevin Feige hate him.
Additionally, Earth's Mightiest Heroes was not a sole Marvel venture. It was a 50/50 split between Marvel and another production company: Film Roman. Film Roman went out of business in 2018.
The issue with doing the 90s Spidey show is that Spidey has so many shows that the novelty of bringing back the 90s version is less than it was for X-Men which has had fewer animated adaptations. If memory serves X-Men has had 3 main series before Disney+ - X-Men Animated, X-Men Evolution and Wolverine and the X-Men. Whereas Spidey has had eleven animated shows and Friendly Neighbourhood Spiderman only just started so the Animated Series Revival getting greenlit would probably require the cancellation of Friendly Neighbourhood Spidey. Which wouldn't go down well with new fans.
The X-Men show was much more popular at the time, and it has been sidetracked for a long time. There have been more xmen shows since, but not as popular. And they gave us somehow different versions of the group instead of focusing on the source material as 97.
Spiderman and Avengers had several iterations since, animation, life action, etc… and unlike the xmen I don’t think there is a huge fanbase craving that they return to that specific series.
EMH: Never, period. It simply won't happen, at least not from Marvel Studios.
i bet 10$
For the Avengers' one I would be genuinly be happy.
EMH: EMH storyline is done, completo, finisho,. There was no other stories it could tell, the Best that happened is that they brought the show that actually needs to be finished in Avengers Assemble and finished that story like EMH is.
The head of Marvel Animation already commented that, for the time being, the 90s were going to be just for the X-Men.
But aside from that, speculating a bit, for Marvel Animation to do a revival, certain details seem to need to converge.
1. That the project to be revived is quite popular, enough to justify its return.
2. That the revival is much more profitable than creating its own series.
That's why Spider-Man 90 isn't being revived, because YFNSM has already become popular enough to fill Spider-Man's space on the platform. Had it failed, it's very likely we'd already be hearing about Spider-Man 90.
But now, does Earth's Mightiest Heroes meet these requirements? More or less. The series is very popular, of course, and to this day it's a reference point for several characters and events. But if I'm not mistaken, it's not as popular as the X-Men of the 90s.
However, where I do think it could excel is that, at the moment, we don't have any new projects bearing the Avengers brand on Disney+ that could bring in more subscriptions.
So there could be a niche there that an EMH revival could fill. The only question is whether Marvel Animation might consider creating a new series to fill that gap.
I've long advocated for an Avengers animated series by the same crew that does What If, and use it to fill in the blanks in-between Avengers movies with both solo and team stories to give it a lot of variety.
