Wolverine and the X-Men

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

I don't know if Nick still has the rights to this show, but I decided to put it on this thread since it originally aired on Nickelodeon, anyways.

So, I finally started watching this show. Back when it was airing I only managed to catch the first episode and then didn't watch any of it, but I finally decided to give this one a chance simply because its X-Men and I'd love to see a good X-Men cartoon. As of 3 episodes in, all I can say is that its a very mediocre X-Men cartoon so far. Maybe it could pull an Avengers: EMH and get better later on (since that started out as a pretty mediocre show, as well), but that's my opinion of it, as of right now. Even so, I still already prefer it to that crappy 90's X-Men series which I never liked (and it has not aged well at all), as well as the overrated X-Men: Evolution (IMO). Still, this one isn't really doing much for me, yet. I'll give it at least a few more episodes to see if it gets any better.

It's okay.

I really have nothing else to say about it. It could've been better, but it ended before it could've really been good.

[Spark Of Spirit]

It's a pretty standard superhero show. Nothing really all that stand-out about it, and they picked some boring X-Men to focus on, IMO.

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

Yeah, while I've never read the comics, I haven't seen a single animated adaptation of Kitty Pryde or Rouge that I have ever liked. I've also never been a fan of Cyclops. Wolverine and Beast are pretty much the only 2 characters that are even holding this show together for me, so far.

Funny, I thought the show was mediocre at the beginning as well and told you that. I thought you watched more of it than this because of how hard you defended the show.

I watched around 15 episodes. I like it now. More than Evolution and while I haven't really seen it in order, it seems to not take a season or whatever to get good.

[Spark Of Spirit]

Rogue would probably be better if they would stop making her a goth girl all the time and made her more positive and assertive like she was meant to be.

To be honest, I really liked Cyclops in Evo by show's end. He wasn't a boy scout, and actually had a bit of personality.

Funny, I thought the show was mediocre at the beginning as well and told you that. I thought you watched more of it than this because of how hard you defended the show.

I didn't defend the show that hard, and I remember that argument. Only ONE episode had aired at that time, and you hated it and I thought it was relatively good. You were praising the hell out of the 90's X-Men series and I was saying how this was at least better than that piece of crap (an opinion that I still stand by). After being spoiled by better superhero cartoons like TSSM and JLU, this now comes off as mediocre, but still not bad.

[gunswordfist]

*Snickers* You determined that a show was better after seeing two episodes? Talk about an educated opinion.

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

First of all, you can't read, because I said ONE episode (I even emphasized it and you still missed it).

And yes, I saw 1 "good" episode of the show, which automatically makes it better than a show with no good episodes (in fact most of XTAS's episodes were downright terrible).

Nightcrawler is probably the best I've ever seen him in this show. I like his substantial role in it, at least from what I've seen. His ship episode is what started to make me gain interest in WATX, I believe. I want to get my hands on DVDs to this show.

[gunswordfist]

I just finished the show. Outside of my dislike of Marrow and Toad, I have no complaints about WATX. There's not many real standouts moments in the show for me either though. So I'd give it like a 7 out of 10.

So....Mastermind in the future is supposed to be/look like Danger? If so, then I love that. I wish they showed the end of that fight. The finale was ok for a season finale, a bit mediocre for a series finale (but to be fair, apparently they didn't know the show would end there.)

[Spark Of Spirit]

It's a real shame that X-Men has never really gotten a show on par with TSSM, JL/U, BTAS, or A:EMH. I think it's more than due for one.

[gunswordfist]

True. They have more than enough material to pull that off too.

Also, them changing the name of Hellfire Club to Inner Circle made me think of Max Payne. I really want to play that game again.
