1st of all I totally disagree with Ed about the continuity, I could not afford all the X-men comics and I enjoyed following the story on TV, even though it is basically on fast forward at all times.

About the drawings, yes they are simplistic, but the emotions they evoke are not exagerated besides a few episodes where they cry.

You all are just fans of dumb azian animation, which I personally hate, and which is the style of X-men evolution which is the biggest disaster in the X-men history in my opinion… I mean just look at the juggernaut!
He has a woman’s waist and the shoulders of a gorilla, the truth is he would not even be able to stand with this type of body!

Not to mention that X-men evolution is based on the movie, which is based on the cartoon, which is based on the comics… Basically it’s not even X-men.

An X-men cartoon (or movie) where rogue isn’t sexy = middle age men disaster…

And wow I am re watching the 90s X-men and the voices AND a lot of the dialogue has been changed, making me sad, also making me understand your points of view if you have seen the newer versions…

I truly was mad when they changed the words of mastermold when he simply says: “Whatever!…” it always made me laugh so hard… and now he tries to be serious… ruining his character.

When watching X-men think of the messages hidden between the lines, it is a morally uplifting.
NOT LIKE THE MOVIES… JEAN NEVER EVER EVER EVER GETS WITH WOLVERINE… (AND HOW DARE THEY MAKE CYCLOPS SUCK SO MUCH! HE NEVER LOSES A FIGHT ON 1 ON 1 IN THE COMICS! N E V E R . . . and he appears to be a little bitch in the movies…)

All in all:

-Astonishing X-men 9.5/10 (If you have not seen them you will love it)
-90s X-men 8.5/10 (Uplifting, morally good for all)
-X-men Evolution 2.5/10 (would not even watch 1 animation way too azian)
-X-men (movie) 1 7/10 (Why is rogue ugly and weak, she has Miss Marvel’s powers by that time… or she should)
-X-men (movie) 2 5/10 (entertaining but that’s it)
-X-men (movie) 3 1/10 (Just ridiculous, mutant powers overloaded)
-X-men Wolverine 9/10 (Even though gambit looked like crap, very fun)

He was dusted off for the cartoon series because they wanted an expendable X-Man to kill in episode 2. By this point, Marvel had done nothing with him for 20 years, and DC was using the Changeling name in Legion of Super-Heroes, so he was renamed Morph.

The bouncy comedy version of Morph was created by Scott Lobdell and Joe Madureira during the Age of Apocalypse storyline, where he shows up as one of the dystopian X-Men. The editorials confirmed that he was supposed to be the same character.

The Exiles version is technically a different Morph from a different (and happier) world, but he’s broadly inspired by Lobdell’s version.

There’s room to argue about who created Morph. He’s officially the same character as the Changeling, but they really have nothing in common. Even their powers are different: Morph is Marvel’s answer to Plastic Man, while the Changeling was just a mutant master of disguise.

[...] X-Men would be released to DVD.  Thanks to Johanna from Comics Worth Reading for noting its release. She comments that the voice acting is not the best and the writing and animation a bit subpar [...]

1) Nothing exciting about the animation
2) Too much emphasis on explosions at battles.
3) Dialogue way too overacted.

Still, I think it is a significant show for a number of reasons. It was the first time the X-men broke out of the comics and hit the mainstream. Second, it’s use of continuing storylines is novel for an American cartoon.

And I loved their adaption of the Phoneix Saga. It has the best Superman/Juggernaut fight I’ve ever seen.

The later X-men cartoons are better, but this one historically important.

Jim

I much preferred X-Men Evolution which, like the DC cartoons, had its own continuity, not based on any incarnation of the comics. Just a fun cartoon, with a real emphasis on the character interplay over the save-the-world stuff.

The look of the characters was patterned after the Jim Lee drawn X-Men comics of the time if I recall correctly.

Olivier, I’d heard that, but did Changeling have the sense of humor that I like so much about (the current) Morph?

L, it’s true, animation has come a long way since then, so our expectations are much higher.

Caleb, I didn’t mention the accents because I wasn’t sure how to work them in, but yes.

The thing I remember most about this series was the Phoenix Saga.

It’s kind of weird watching it now. They do seem much more oddly stiff and overly dramatic. Didn’t seem so at the time. But, looking back on old He-Man cartoons on Hulu reminded me of just how bad some cartoons were but how awesome they seemed at the time?

Anyway. I’d totally watch these for pure nostalgia’s sake. That, and I think I missed some of the Phoenix Saga the first time around because I never was very good at waking up on Saturdays.
