I like the way that separating them feels clean, personally. Might just be me.
The real point of that timeline diverging is Klaw killing T'Chaka.

From that point, Hydro Man does not die somehow and the Alpha Flight team is never formed, etc in this branched timeline.

That doesn't mean similar events didn't occur in both. Juggernaut crawls out of the ocean in one of the Iron Man or F4 episodes I think, which follows up on him getting launched there in an X-Men episode.
 
I remember seeing an interview in a magazine screenshot a long time ago that implied Unlimited happened DURING SMTAS during the point in the series that Peter and MJ (clone) were married
It deviates from Earth-92131 in how Venom is defeated.
On Earth-751263 (Unlimited's timeline), Brock didn't have Venom separate from him on a space shuttle and was arrested by SHIELD.

Thanks for explaining that to me, I was confused when I saw that.
Yeah after the Secret War was done it wouldn't have made sense for them to dump him back in the Temporal hell he was trapped in. After he was plucked from it, he was free.
 
BTW, in the X-Men TAS, when Apocalypse of a future timeline was seemingly erased from existence in Limbo, the timeline was changed to one in which Apocalypse never rose to power way back in ancient Egypt. This timeline change was not given a reality designation and I do not recall this change being reversed in the original series. Logically, this is a big enough change in the timeline to constitute a reality designation. One could explain it as a different timeline being overlaid with 92131, ala 81545 with 616 in comics.

We'll be seeing the young Apocalypse in season 2 of X-Men 97, I wonder if and how this will come into play?
 
After checking in with the wiki and rechecking it in the episode, it seems this show still has Wanda be the daughter of Whizzer, which would be convenient considering he appeared in the Spider-Man show if it is meant to be connected to the Iron Man show

Adopted father? Interesting.

Maybe Whizzer is who saved young Magneto from the camps and in need of a favor Magneto wanted him to be Wanda's godfather to protect her from his infamy.
 
Which once again proves that Marvel is exploiting Chadwick Boseman's death as his performance being SO iconic and SO irreplaceable that they couldn't do anything but get some other character in his place

Personally, I think it's stupid as hell and Chadwick never would have agreed with it. The concept is so silly, I wouldn't be surprised if it hadn't crossed his mind.
 
It's one thing to kill off a version of the character just because an actor died and you don't want to deal with potential backlash, it's another thing entirely to let it affect other continuities.
 
Age of Apocalypse costumes?

I guess that timeline wasn't erased.
https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Earth-13393
We saw that future at the end of season 1. Also, Cable's era of 121893 is also similiar to 13393. So, which one is it?

Maybe Cable-92131 was sent to 121893, while the OG Cable from the 90s show was native to 13393? (Since 92131 Cable was sent to the future after the timeline was altered) Or it's vice-versa if 13393 still exists.

Earth-121893 can't exist anymore because Bastion died.

So the future was a flux and Cable's future shifted from 13393, to 121893, back to 13393 now; implying that it's still a possibly due to Apocalypse's continued existence.

I expect season 2 to cover this notion.

Did Bishop or Cable say that he came from the timeline where Bastion won? I forgot about that detail but now that you posted this, he said something like that IIRC.

In the OG series, 13393 diverged when the Legacy virus was immediately cured in 92131, while in 13393, it took mutantkind years for them to grow immune to it. So, either 13393 is still 'linked' to 92132 as a potential future even though it is diverged somewhat, or it just continues to exist as an alternate future ala 9200 to 616 in comics.

Bishop did say something in season 1 about him and baby Cable getting split up in the timeline due to the different time periods…but also Cable did refer to 121893 as "my timeline" towards the end of S1. So it seems like it was at that point but due to the future changing that Bastion time period was removed and its just full Apocalypse future.
 
121893 only existed because Bastion's existence would have been inevitable after the Mutant Virus was destroyed in the original series. The future with Bastion was in the 2000s, which did not come to pass now that Bastion is dead. So the farther future of 13393, the 2990s, is the ONE inevitable future as of now.
