Marvel Animated Universe (1990s) - Timelines

As I haven’t watched any of X-men 97 because I want to watch the OG and spider-man series and work my way through it in chronological order, is iron man, F4 and Incredible Hulk all canon now to the one universe now or is it still just X-men and spider man in 1 and the rest in another?
(I know about all of the cameos in the finale but I’m still confused as to if they are new slight variations for this universe or are the same from their respective shows)

Earth-534834:

I do think that you could still connect them as parallel timelines using the X-Men '92: House of XCII Jubilee reincarnations, but as a single timeline probably not.

The creatives on X-Men '97 want it to be canon but they fucked up BAD in regards to Black Panther.

How much you wanna bet that has nothing to do with Chadwick's passing but more-so to do with "We need these universes/timelines separated NOW, so add this subtle difference" at the last minute?

Marvel might not even want them connected for some stupid reason.
 
So...are we to take the timeline Cable ORIGINALLY came from (Earth-13393), plus Bishop's before his (Earth-31393; since they said him and baby Cable "got separated" in the time stream), as still existing since the last few episodes insinuate that those two futures plus the now-erased(?) Earth-121893 co-existed at the same time?

Personally, I think they just fucked up.

If you want my advice, if you want to watch everything, watch Earth-534834 (Marvel Action Hour), then read Earth-15513 (X-Men '92), then read X-Men '92: House of XCII, then watch Earth-92131 (X-Men/Spider-Man). Take it as one of the many previous incarnations mentioned in X-Men '92: House of XCII.

That seems to be the only reconcilable solution for a "shared universe" now. They literally can only be considered connected alternate timelines, so I guess they could be 95% similar but that 5% makes a huge difference to me.

couldn't he be a different black phanter? T'challa wasn't the only black phanter in the comics.
 
So what your saying is the small inconsistencies between the X-Men/Spider-Man universe and the Iron Man/Hulk/FF universe that were left anonymous to if they were actually in the same universe or if it was just poor communication of continuity between shows, and now X-Men 97 has created more inconsistencies between both universes that are big enough to be noticeably different?
 
Btw is Avengers:United they stand connected to the X-men/Spider-man universe (because of the scarlet witch cameo in the background of the finale) or the Silver Surfer cartoon universe or is she just a similar design to the X-men 97 one?

Possibly. I mean, I always treat it as that. It simply resides in a different reality after the time travel causes divergence.

I take it that my original theory about Cable and Bishop being separated by different timelines but converged with a different future (Bastion's - aka Earth-121893) was right.

Whoever thought to acknowledge that insanely-niche detail in the writing team deserves a raise.

Earth-534834 = Almost indifferent from Earth-92131, but timeline diverges when T'Chaka died in the mid-90s.
