Batman the animated series is amazing, but I think that X-Men TAS also deserves a lot of recognition. Despite the fact that Marvel has lost its way in television animation, this series started it all, and both BMTAS and X men tas were the most important series in their respective animated universes. Not only for having popular characters, but for having deep stories that would not normally be told on television at the time. Unlike many people, I think this new series can be a great opportunity for Marvel to redeem their television animation. We all want Spectacular or Earths migthy's heroes to return, but I think the 90s Marvel series that started it all deserve their space first.

[@austinwalker2000]

marvel has never really had their cartoons down for every xmen and spiderman theres an iron man and so on the only really good marvel cartoons are xmen spiderman spetacular spiderman avengers earths mightest heros and gaurdians of the galaxy

[@SensiofRabbitude]

The thing is, the 2 main 90s marvel cartoons each had a great run and even though more technically could have been done, you felt satisfied with X-Men & Spiderman's respective runs. A:EMH had a ton of gas left in the tank and it made you angry to see it end all too quickly and replaced with a much worse cartoon, just to twist that proverbial knife some more. Spectacular Spiderman and I'll throw in another fantastic cartoon neither of you mentioned in Wolverine and the X-Men, are both shows that ended all too soon and deserved so much better. So even though the 90's X-Men is top 5 all time superhero cartooning for me, I'd say the above 3 probably deserved a return first. Don't take any of this to mean I didn't lose my shit when I heard this was coming back though, it's top 5 all time like I said.

I'm nearing the end of my first time binge and these are my highlights off the top of my head. -Storm's claustrophobia being played seriously, A tier voice acting right there. She really sounds like she's being tortured to death. -Cyclops absolutely wrecking Mister Sinister for messing up his wedding and playing God. -Wolverine's backstory, all of it. -Beast's love story and Logan infiltrating the mutant hate group. -Dark Pheonix, especially the very end where the X-Men give up years of their lives to restore Jean's life-force. -Mystique straight up saying to her son Nightcrawler's face that he was a mistake and that she never wanted him for the inconvenience it brought into her life.

[@SensiofRabbitude]

The thing is, it feels like if they ever wanted to revive 90's Spiderman, it almost needs to immediately follow this revival because of how connected the two shows are. Otherwise you may as well not bother with that potential return. Also if any X-Men show needs to come back after this one, it's definitely Wolverine and the X-Men. Too much left in the tank there......I mean ONLY ONE SEASON? Big joke on marvel's part that.

[@YujiUedaFan]

If anything '92 was the only series WITH a proper ending. Evolution was meant to have Dark Pheonix saga and Wolverine and the X-Men was just too short. I'd even take Silver Surfer over X-Men '92 because '92 is the LAST Fox Marvel show that needs a continuation.

[@pedrovallefin8406]

@@YujiUedaFan Yeah, i dont think marvels thought process regarded if the show needed a continuation, its probably more in line with wanting to take advantage of the nostalgia for the show to bring up an inmediate audience. Its also possibly helping them test the grounds for what to do with their own adaptation of the team (it shouldnt surprise us if the lineup is the same as the shows). Its also entirely posible that if it works out they will branch to other nostalgic returns. Not sure if they would put more than one X-men show at the time though. Same with Spider-man, sounds more likely they would focus in their animated version of the character. But who knows, they could also be bringing back every posible version of the X-Men if this one proves successful. Time will tell.

[@KyrieKirigiri]

With the Final Season redesigns, what happened was that the show was meant to end at Season 4 but got extended last minute, so the animation studio that did most of the show was too busy doing another show when the final season was in production, so they had to get a really cheap animation company to do it in a hurry

[@kingcheerio8558]

The reason why the art design changed so dramatically during the final season was because the contract with the animation studio they were using ran out and they were not able to renew after Fox commissioned more episodes so they just had to go with who was available. The Apocalypse multi-parter was actually intended as the series finalé which is why just about every guest character comes back for it.

[@megancraddock5501]

I remember watching some reruns of this and evolution on disneyxd. Rogue’s my favorite xmen and I wish the movie rogue was just as awesome as the ones from the cartoons because she had a nice actress but did next to completely nothing.

[@pedrovallefin8406]

One could say the same thing for every X-man in those movies that wasnt Wolverine. Most of them werent bad, they just have the fatal problem of barely doing anything with its characters cause of the director obsesion with Logan. Even the last trilogy didnt quite knew what to do with their characters outside of Xavier and Magneto. Hopefully the mcu will bring back underutilised characters like Rogue and actually do something with them instead of the shallow adaptation they previously have.

[@mackielunkey2205]

23:54 I really, really like how X-Men ‘97 made up for that cop-out by using it to have Charles’s students contemplate how flawed he actually is, and when he DOES come back, Cyclops criticizes him for leaving the X-Men to Magneto and not giving the him and the other the choice whether or not to continue being X-Men. But the biggest offence was his relationship with Rogue, who turns on Charles after the Genosha attack, where she sees Gambit die and commits vengeance against the perpetrator of the attack. Before that, she criticizes Charles’s teacher-student approach too.

[@julienmorozof8082]

I've been frustrated by the films because I grew up on the 90s cartoon, which actually illustrated the original themes. Mutants like Storm, Jubilee, and Bishop are actual characters with development, further supporting the themes. But the movies largely didn't deal with that. So, if Disney ever has the stones to make X-Men movies based on the original themes, I feel that certain people will complain. But the 90s cartoon is what they need to look to (aside from the comics, of course). And they need to incorporate the ICONIC theme someway.

When you said you were born in '98 I kinda had a stroke

[@Dj_Avana]

I was a teenager when this originally aired. It opened the doors for me to get into comic books. Something not mentioned in the video is how faithful it is to the source material

[@OpticBlast-yk5hf]

I didn’t grow up with it either, but I watched the whole thing on Disney + a few years ago and discovered how incredible it is.

[@onigames7309]

Watching this after finishing X-Men TAS, and before watching 97.

[@sethrosenow2720]

Great video, man! I’m loving your recent work!

[@Lboogie0711]

This was amazing! You really captured the greatness that X-men was. I started watching the series last year; along with X-men evolution and i think that both of them are incredible shows. Seeing the way, the 90s X-men handled the dark phoenix saga was my favorite interpretation of the character and jean grey's character development. I never liked how the x-men movies handled dark phoenix. Good job, Xavier.

[@fishtanksamurai7786]

Just amazing!! Brilliant commentary as usual!

[@kyledamron]

I grew up with it and it was my favorite show when it was on. X-Men 97 has been awesome love that the show is back

[@aestroai8012]

I was in middle school when FOX X-Men aired. It's a really great adaptation of the comics, and drove home the politics of the old school comics. 18:12 The animation might have been a bit dodgy, but the layout and directing was incredible. Animation is expensive and hard.

[@Mr_ULTMT]

Xavier is a really good writer he’s witty as hell

[@GodzillaMendoza]

Thank you!

[@jadenbryant9283]

@@GodzillaMendoza hey uh when is the next part of that spiderman animated retrospective coming out

[@anthonychoquehuanca4775]

amazing videos as always xavier! great job.

[@guillesuperior]

I’m a 2000’s kid but because Jetix here in Latin America aired reruns of this show along with Spider-Man TAS I kinda grew up with them, I even thought this show and Wolverine and The X-Men were in the same continuity because in a promo for episodes about Magneto the promo kinda said “ en el futuro o en el pasado Magneto siempre está al acecho” Anyway, great show and I’m currently rewatching it on Disney +, I hope season 6 is good and not another Young Justice season 3 Also, please Marvel Studios, finish Spider-Man TAS , Wolverine and the X-Men and Avengers EMH, I know you can

[@cooldinom]

This video was awesome! I'm loving this content.

[@MikeyMCMichael]

Wow there are videos on KZbin and then there are documentary like hot takes with guest stars. Thank you for this. I hope everyone who ever saw the show watches this and it makes there day also.

[@Infinityluiss]

This was so freaking cool man I love that you got him back

[@heathenbreathinfire]

Yeah this show WAS about half of my childhood (in terms of the greatest shows I watched as a kid) - being born in the eighties...

[@comixproviderftw_02]

It ain’t Spider-Man TAS review, but I’ll take it.

[@talariswatts-el9196]

Perfect video. I agree with everything you said. I was born in 85 so I grew up with both Pryde and the 90's series. I still have my original vhs copies. I can't wait for the revival on Disney plus. Long live the X-Men!

[@Flopfist]

Since my older brother loved xmen 90s and batman the animated series I was raised watching those shows even though I was born in 2000

[@Enigma2K99]

Cal Dodd... NOICE! 21:52 The Aerialbots and Stunticons called. They said fuck you too.

[@krono5el]

the poor X-Men went from the coolest thing ever to fox making those movies and killing them instantly in the year 2000 and we never heard of them since.

[@GodzillaMendoza]

Nah, several of those movies were great

[@sniktheadthemunki2709]

That X-Men 2 Clone Wars soundtrack though (I see you playa)

[@stanstansky5522]

Any xmen comic I read now, it’s always his voice I hear in my head, sorry to Hugh jackman but for me the most iconic wolverine

[@Jcecil1035]

1:09 this aged well

[@alexmanrique2280]

bro, my man, king. i have to say congratulations, I love how you have grown as a creator, your video cuality are extremely great right now (not even the videos of the goberment of my contry are this good), i love your comedy and the animations FUCKING GREAT! is so cool Cal Dodd help you with his amazing voice! but over all i feel the heart, you care of this series and this caracteris in a personal place and I feel it man! I am starting with the youtube shit and this is the type of videos i want to make

[@alexmanrique2280]

and last friday i just started to watch this x-men series for the first time. great timing

[@ptsome110]

One of my favorite scenes... Jubilee asks why are you doing this, creed responds with, " because you were born" talk about not holding back. I was probably 8-10 at the time

[@TheSpencermacdougall]

This version is So Iconic, I'm fairly sure most consider it the Definitive Version. And given the fact the MCU version (From Dr. Strange:MoM) rides a Yellow Hover Chair and had the X-Men Theme play when he appeared, I do believe the film makers agree.

[@sidhantraj3433]

Sam Raimi clearly has love for 90's animated shows. His take on the symbiote is based on Spider-Man TAS rather than the 616 comics.
