Series Review | Wolverine and the X-Men

[@thesuperframe]

Decided to re-do my review of Wolverine and the X-Men, this time a little more in depth, striking at why this short lived series works so well. ALSO !! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone, I hope 2020 treats everyone well.

[@fishertheadore6095]

Why tha hell was this show canceled?

[@JOVONO]

X-Men Evolution is the most X-Men feeling series to me mainly because the team chops and changes and they all work together under Professor X’s mentorship and Cyclops’ leadership with Wolverine being Cyclops’ tactical mentor also there are actual students going around the grounds and not too many students to still make them feel like an isolated group X-Men TAS gets stale after a while as despite the great comic book storylines the team chops with members sitting on the bench but it never updates like the institute doesn’t feel like a school because there are no students Wolverine and the X-Men feels like a Wolverine series that has a solid team that has characters coming in and out like Angel, Rogue and Nightcrawler however the problem is Cyclops isn’t the leader

[@REaDComicsau]

I always caught this show on TV and it’s what made me really love the X-Men and then the movies.

[@ItsUrBoi]

Describing Gambit as “Sleazy fuckboi” is the pinnacle of KZbin.

[@carlbloke8797]

What also bothered me is how much of a scumbag they made Gambit in this show. They didn’t even bother to explain why he’s not part of the X-Men and for some reason doesn’t even meet or interact with Rogue.

[@kristianfletcher6162]

If the X-Men ever come into the Marvel Universe I don't want to see Wolverine in the first movie

[@kazekamiha]

I think it should have been a show JUST about Wolverine with cameos and supporting roles by the X-Men. If they wanted an X-Men show they should have had an X-Men show.

[@Equal_Dust4934]

Did you like it more than evolution?

[@flynnd6516]

Why a kids show? They should have made a different cartoon series for kids, and instead made Wolverine and the X-men a show for 14+ year olds. That way Wolverine doesn’t scratch machines and can instead scratch people and make them bleed. That way Nightcrawler can actually fight people instead of constantly dodging their attacks to remove any blood and gore. That way Wolverine can also make sexual jokes and make savage remarks with swearing.

[@brendancoulter5761]

I think the appreciation of this show depends on how you look at it, as an Xmen show its unbalanced and the unusual story means we have a broken team for most of the series. But as a project shackelesd to studio demands to push Logan as the central character, it was doent exceptionally well. Wolverine was changed in a believable way to reflect his roll as a leader, He as to mature to fill a roll he initially does not want, wich makes perfect sense considering the circumstance. Its also worth pointing out we got episodes dedicated to following other characters in this remixed version of the Xmen world and they were great, Nightcrawler especially got allot of love. It was clearly made by passionate fans of the series and I would have loved to see more even if making Wolverine being overly focused on.

[@kazallroberts]

For me at least, it's a very good show but I do agree that having Wolverine being the main star of this show was the wrong decision as other characters don't have any time to breath and development other than Emma.

[@josesarango3408]

The show is nothing below decent, even good, even very good depending on your preferences. But it's obviously a product of its time, after-movies time so it had to have elements from the movies and less from the source material. Also, and this is a very personal pet peeve regarding the cartoons of 21st century: I don't like the art. There's something about it that takes me off, I much prefer the 80s-90s style with all their flaws

Fact was that with Jean gone Cyclops wasn't himself, he couldn't lead anyone and Professor X new it hence why he had Wolverine lead. You are right about him not being able to keep the team together, but you go back through the series, it's actually Storm and Emma Frost who keep the team together. It's also worth pointing out that the main character may have been Wolverine but the story was more following Emma.

[@tornadochaser2457]

I recently re-watched the show, not having seen it since it came out way back in 2009. Before watching, I remembered it being just good, not great, and I was wondering why as I recalled the highly impressive and immersive serialisation, ambitious mythology, and mature storytelling. Upon viewing it, I realised why - All the things I mentioned were definitely intact and as impressive as ever, but the show lacked strong character development. Characters like Kitty, Bobby, Beast, and Storm have nothing to work with, and I'm not asking for anything remotely heavy, just a one-off episode for the majority that's actually light-hearted, where each character gets to have an arc. Wolverine actually, surprisingly, doesn't have a strong, standout character arc in the season, considering he's the main character. All the characters in the show itself are great - well-defined, diverse, and interesting and engaging in their own right. The character development is something that separates a show like this from a great one like The Spectacular Spider-Man - Both shows have the same strengths, but Spectacular has a large cast of characters, and always makes character development a high priority. It's arguably the biggest joy of watching the show in fact (and there's a lot of competition!), seeing the characters truly be given their due. I greatly enjoyed this show upon re-watch though, it's firmly and clearly a good show. The strengths I've mentioned almost always shine through.

[@tornadochaser2457]

Thanks for the heart SUPER FRAME! I'll add this to my collection of hearts from the world...

[@mohammedsalmanali01]

They should have made a second season more on character development of X Men, more on sinister (mainly want to know whether angel could be restored to normal)

[@ikec2894]

Great video. It's worth mentioning that strom is also a great leader. In the comics, she challenged Cyclops for leadership of the team and won but in the movies and even in this show, she's more like a background character. They really haven't done a good job with her.

[@jalontillmon2807]

They only got one season

[@TheShockVox]

An enjoyable X- Men show and my second favorite after Evolution nearly only for its art style. It feels like it pulls it punches in some aspects unfortunately, both with action and some character freedoms. It’s understandable, we can’t see Wolvie or Sabertooth stab mofos on a Nick show. I used to hate Cyclops, so his portrayal used to only feed that hate. Being a Cyclops fan now from reading comics ( he’s my second favorite X-Men after Gambit) it’s a bummer there’s nearly no signs of what makes him dope in this show. Meanwhile Evolution did a sweet job with him. It’s really a shame the show felt like it couldn’t juggle its characters

[@justchilling704]

ShockVox They we’re pulling a l from the Fox movies in this show if you didn’t notice.

[@acespadepirates6426]

I agree with everything you said but my favorite two after reading the comics is cyclops and wolverine. After reading the comics it seems someone really had a lot of hate towards cyclops and I think that’s why his character in everything after fox bought the X-men was just a personal attack 😂

You never want the guy who just lost the love of his life ( so Scott thought ) to run your team lol I personally think wolverine was a good pick to run the x men.

you hit all the main points on the head....i liked the cartoon but i wasnt thrilled with the whole wolverine as leader cause anyone who has followed the X-men knows the best leader they have ever had is Cyclops...with Storm coming a close second. with all that said it was a good cartoon and it looked like season 2 would have really been interesting...

[@alanguages]

The FOX movies effectively became the Wolverine series also. Then Jennifer Lawrence success in the Hunger Games came in and First Class all the way to Dark Phoenix it effectively revolved around her. They should have just renamed it Wolverine and the Jennifer Lawrence movies, guest starring the X-Men.

[@Silvern7552]

The problem I have with that argument is the point was that Wolverine wasn't a great leader. The point of the show was that Scott wasn't in a great mindset and couldn't handle the mantle when the show started so Logan took it. I believe that Storm should have been leader here but plenty of good X-Men stories don't feature Scott as the leader.

[@masterDarts4188]

I personally didn't mind it. It gave reasons for why both Cyclops and Storm were out of commission. I always took it as the fact that Logan wasn't exactly the best for the job, but just the best they had at the time given the circumstances.

[@thekrakenexperiment280]

I personally disagree with your thoughts on Cyclopes. Sure the movies didn’t do him any favors, but it wasn’t the movies that had him cheat on Jean Grey with Emma Frost or become a psycho dictator. Comic canon Cyclopes did that stuff all by himself. Granted that doesn’t mean that makes Wolverine a good leader. I feel like Storm is the best leader of the X-men.

[@evohumans]

Jean and Wolverine had been flirting with each other before the Cyclops and Emma thing, so Jean isn't innocent. I would have loved to see this show continue, and for them to kinda delve into the Scott/Emma/Jean love triangle, because I have a feeling that they would have brought Emma back to life. I don't think that they would have let that thing between Emma and Scott go (especially with the return of Jean.) if the series had continued.

No you are incredibly wrong. Storm is NOT the best leader of the X-Men... Cyclops is... I would type a huge paragraph explaining why but the same guy who made this video brilliantly explained it in another video on his channel. Check it out.

Hell when you consider other offshoot teams the list of great leaders in the x-men universe is pretty long. It's not JUST cyclops.

[@invaderzam]

What I appreciated about this show is that it finally got to show us what Emma Frost is about. It shows why she is attracted to Scott Summers (Scott is a good man who lives in a world that loves to destroy good people) and it shows us her unique stance on human-mutant relations. She is the practical moderate to Xavier and Magneto's extremes. She wants the future Xavier wants but she will not wait for the public to give it. If she has to sway public opinion in the favor of mutants, she will. After all, that is what their enemies are doing and why should they act better than humans?

[@christopherbennett5858]

She’s also in the mindset of taking as much money from humanity as possible so that mutant kind can live fabulously. Here’s my litmus test for a good Emma; is she about helping the kids, the lgbtplus and traumatised women? And is she very casual about the work she’s had done? If so, you have a good Emma. Two of my favourite Emma moments in the comics is her on a rampage in the U-men HQ because they broke her nose. The other is what she did to Kimura.

I really couldn't watch more than the first few episode, I like Wolverine like I like Raphael for the TMNT, as a hot-headed friendly foil to the leader and It was clear very early that the other characters were sidelined here and Wolverine would be front and center. What really got me out of the show however was that it clearly wants to tackle serialized storytelling from the get go which is a double-edged sword has it failed to intrigue me more than on a surface level, and lacked the kind of self-contained episodes that can really help grasp what you're gonna get here. As you said in the video it seems preoccupied to look like a X-Men show while being a Wolverine show and I just didn't care for that.

I agree with alot of what you said but I still love this show Man

[@bobisconsumed520]

I feel if MCU does use this show as template. they should draw most heavily from Sentinels in this show. Sentinels were personally my favorite part as they are machine and surpass both man and mutant. But they still has a drive to evolve themselves. What it means to be a true Sentinel.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Wolverine: Main character Cyclops and Emma Frost: Pull their weight, but mostly Jean-centric. Beast, Shadowcat, and Iceman--Shown a lot, but given little development (though to be fair, they're pretty great characters as is). Rogue & Nightcrawler--Had their own story arcs before becoming background characters. Storm & Angel--got one episode centered around them, then became background characters (loved them as a couple, and sad because the Age of Apocalypse could've been their gateway to more screentime and development). Forge--And where were you the whole time?! And plus I was mad that there were many episodes where characters would be seen but only spoke once or not at all. Honestly, I love this show, and while Evolution is my favorite due to it's concept, WATXM had the best overall storyline to me. It deserved at least 3 seasons.

[@thefallenguardian6167]

Still my favorite x men series

[@mcurran6505]

If this series have continue longer it could have been one of Marvel's best adaptations of the X-Men along with the 90's series & Evolution. But the nerve of it being cancelled due to toy sales, is enough to pissed off any newcomer to this series. I know nowadays current Marvel animated shows aren't liked by fans, but if another worthy X-Men series ever does happen again here's hoping it will last longer.

[@evohumans]

Yes, I agree that Wolverine and the X-Men definitely had the potential to be one of the best adaptations of the X-MEN if it had continued. The 90's series is still the best adaptation (at least thus far) in my opinion.

[@thecomicdirector8417]

in case u dont know, this show is based loosely off the astonishing x-men comics. i highly recommend reading them as they are a lot of fun.

[@efrainjunior2409]

This show deserves a second season and Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes a third season.

[@sanaabbas8369]

Even if they put Scott back in action,this show would still be awesome regardless of who leads.

[@henith7850]

The reason storm didn’t get to do much really is just because that’s how she is in the movies and it was a problem there to.

[@starlepus9437]

to be fair to the show, the show does go out of its way to show that wolvorine is a kinda shitty leader. in the few moments when cyclops does get to lead the team theres a tangible difference in how effective they are.

[@satishtilokani2990]

GOLD STANDERED CARTOON AMAZING THE BEST ANIMATION SAME AS THE X MEN ANIMATED SERIES AND X MEN EVOLUTION I LOVE ALL 3 X MEN CARTON SHOWS

[@PrettyBoyVoiceOvers]

As much as a fan I am of Wolverine. They really failed to properly develop the other members of the X-men. Cyclops essentially had the biggest side story but was hardly touched upon and he was basically a non-factor apart from like 3 episodes

[@210SAi]

I know I’ve watched all the episodes but Jones don’t recall anything about it... pretty forgettable

[@gamingmoran9597]

I agree that Scott should have been a leader but at the end of the day it is a wolverine show and is still very enjoyable

[@TheRealCrimsonDagger]

One episode had a joke that make me laugh. It had something to do with Wolverine, Rouge and The Blob.

[@spencerpommier806]

Kind of wish you talked about Marrow here, her attachment to a rouge sentinel was my favorite thing about this show

[@ivanfrias2605]

Logan and Scott's dynamic is that they are completely different, thats why their colors are swapped, they are different but they are on the same team thats why the colors are the same yellow and blue

[@andoryu856]

Anybody remember being a kid and just tuning into this? No care in the world with a bowl of cereal and then later on hoping on to play some video games?

[@crazypeopleonsunday7864]

Just to point out real quick, Professor X's mind isn't transported through time. Xavier is placed in a coma & awakens years later. THEN he telepathically projects his thoughts into the past to communicate with the X-Men. Also, I agree that there's a reason that Scott Summers is the X-Men's leader, but that doesn't mean he's the only one who is capable of leading the team. I do see what you're saying about Logan "never" being around, at least, not as much as the other X-Men, & he is rather hypocritical in the scene with Cyclops. However, the hypocrisy of Logan's statement is acknowledged in the show, even if it's never genuinely resolved. But, regardless, I still think it's interesting to see Wolverine having to step up to the role of leader in this show, particularly because it takes him out of his standard role. Also also, I agree with you about how great the plot twists are. I really enjoy those elaborate plotlines, too. And even just the clip of Emma & Scott seeing Jean as the Phoenix gave me chills. But two things you forgot to mention is how great Nightcrawlers storyline with Wanda is & how awesome the animation looks.

[@biguy617]

I like this series but Wolverine really isn't a leader. You see the differences between him being the leader vs how Cyclops was the leader in the 90s series. I love Kitty in this series. I like Rogue in the series. This series is very good.

[@D21BeastReviews]

When this show originally premiered, I kept hoping they've reveal that we were actually watching the grown up version of the X-Men: Evolution characters. Of course it wasn't meant to be. And you're right, this is more a Wolverine show than an X-Men show. I find it good enough. But I also personally rank it behind X-Men TAS and X-Men: Evolution. Great essay, Super Frame!

[@EnsignRedSquad]

Why couldn’t it be?

[@Dogofwar9]

The show is watchable, even enjoyable but they MUST stop trying to make wolverine more important than what he actually is. Its called wolverine and the xmen and his story is arguably the least important or necessary for it! Wolverine is a good character but marvel has got to stop trying to force wolverine in everything, especially when his involvement doesnt help or harm the story/situation.

[@anthonygreen2962]

I liked this series and still miss it whenever this show comes up. What could have been with Apocalypse in season 2. Wolverine was a reluctant leader as he was just trying to put the team back together and Cyclops was still mourning the loss of Jean Grey. Wolverine may have had more screen time and been a little more calmer than usual but i like the fact that at 40 years old back then that i didn't have to go through a seasons of teenage CW /WB X-MEN going through puberty again like X-MEN EVOLUTION. As i watched WOLVERINE AND THE X-MEN it felt like this was a grown-up X-MEN series just the 90's version. I hope Marvel Studios continues this theme.

[@cyshadowx]

I hate this show they down graded storm they made rogue a emu she was weak she was not charming like the 90s cartoon its. storylines were elementary level it was a quick cash grab to play of the bad movies its a down grade it was like 2000s teen dramas on. CW i hated all the Canadian accents lol im a 90s teen this was a huge down grade i cant watch one episode its just a down grade

[@supersayan8966]

Finally, One Wolverine and the X-Men, had the potenzial but has gone the way of the spectacular Spiderman

[@kap1618]

Beast and Storm should have be Co-leaders. They are better options than Wolverine and Cyclops is out of commission.

[@justingochioco1121]

Also Storm, Jean Grey, and Kitty Pryde have also led the X men from the comics

[@ferntin4479]

Hopefully marvel makes wolverine the main character again, can never have enough wolverine.

[@concernedandequal1928]

I loved how this show on making the female characters as beautiful las they come with curves in all the right places and outfits that made them feminine . None of that woke bullshit.

[@paulmiller7838]

So, Emma Frost is a very powerful telepath. But she does not possess telekinesis. So what the bloody hell is holding up that dress?

[@TheSmart-CasualGamer]

I quite like Logan's treatment of Scott. He's in charge now, doesn't really like it, hasn't really got a clue what he's doing and has decided to just be a "Do as I say, not as I do" type. I do agree that Logan sometimes got a bit too much focus, but the episode with the Hulk is skippable, so it's not as bad as it could have been. We also get the Weapon-X episode, and I love seeing that. I also somehow completely missed the Silver Samurai episode, so I'm also a little biased that way. And characters such as Gambit, Nightcrawler, Magneto's daughter that isn't Scarlet Witch, literally everyone in the Brotherhood (Except Tremor or whatever his name was) get development ranging from great to excellent! I've also heard that this was planned as a three-series show. But as the first didn't sell enough merchandise, the second got cut, spelling the end for the third.
