25th Anniversary of X-Men The Animated Series

My book elitism doesn't allow for acknowledgment of this show beyond the fact that it doesn't suck anywhere near as much as the movies.

Nah homey. That was wolverine simping ass. Didn't even get to smell the p*ssy. How you in love with a chick that never gave you any play? No wonder Sabertooth used to come through and smash on that nikka.

Nah, he was definitely smelling that p*ssy everyday. His smelling senses are insane, I bet he was outside jeans bathroom just taking a big whiff everytime she was fresh out the shower. That shyt was driving him crazy

Yeah, the 1976-82 era is still the goat era for X-men (in the comics) IMO. The OG Phoenix Saga, Proteus, Dark Phoenix, Days of Future Past, the Brood Saga, Wolverine in Japan, God Loves Man Kills.

Hardest intro for an animated series and tied for best theme with Power Rangers

waking up on Saturday mornings to get ready for little league with cold pizza to get started


I still haven’t watched that garbage ass dark Phoenix final movie I got 11 minutes in and turned it off.

I couldn't watch this show, the animation was poor quality for its time.

You can thank Fox for all that.

Nerfing, killing off, and writing out 90% of the characters just so every movie could be "Wolverine and those Other Guys"

Dumbing down the Dark Phoenix Saga from the OG comics and killing Cyclops in the first 20 minutes of X3

Missing the entire point of X-men in First Class where they anticlimactically killed the breh first and had EVERY mutant who wasn't white or a dude join up with the villains in the end.

Trying to make "fetch" happen with Mystique for years just because she was played by JLaw, instead of putting respect on the REAL leaders of the X-men. (Cyclops and Storm)

20 years worth of movies and we never saw Wolverine in the classic costume from the comics.

Hiring the same dude that co-wrote X-men 3 to take ANOTHER shot at a Dark Phoenix movie

They had NO respect for the source material at all. (IIRC, the actual comics were banned on the set of the first X-men movie.)
The 90s animated series >>>>>>>>> the films.
The cartoon wasn't perfect but it still left us with a lot of dope memories because it put more respect on the OG comics.

Miss out on epic storylines because drawings were bad during the era of everyone having 480p TVs brehs

I was like 8 when this dropped so I didn’t even know wtf “standards” were back then.

1. The only thing worse for X-Men than having the license sold to Fox would have been for them to have wound up at Sony.
2. Batman TAS through JLU is still the standard for animated work in my opinion, but X-Men done right would outshine even those.
