I have a huge soft spot for Evolution. Although it was a little silly for the Mutants to be attending high school instead of just attending the Xavier Institute it still worked. Especially when the lid was blown on the character's mutant identities. While it did many new things to cater to younger audiences it made sure to utilize older lore. Like Nightcrawler's image inducer. I don't think any prior X-Men shows did that. Also I marked out when they put Wolverine in his Ultimate costume. If I'm not mistaken it was like the first Marvel cartoon to start using elements from the 1610 comics along with Morrison's New X-Men lore. I can go on and on but I love this series. It doesn't get enough credit.

[@sandywolfr26]

I love that they attended a regular school cuz it was like seeing how well they can hide that they was mutants. How well they can do things normally without using powers. Also it a way for them to get used to being around normal people. If they just attend their school, then they would get careless cuz everyone a mutant in the school. They probably will forget about the normal people or not care that much about them cuz they haven’t connected to them.

X-Men Evolution, in my opinion, has the best adaption of Apocalypse's storyline in any incarnation.

[@alicedarhk9790]

[@AliceInWonder98]

That is the truth I loved this show

[@lucariomew365]

@Jakazu No. It really wasn't. X-Men Evolution had the advantage of building up the mystery of Apocalypse through several episodes thanks to his acolyte Mesmiro. The episodic format also allowed the writers to build upon the motivations and personalities of the characters, which ultimately had a huge impact on the coming of Apocalypse. This culminated in his eventual revival in the season 3 finale, wherein he truly had the presence of the powerful ancient mutant that he was always built up as, but lacked in most mediums - seriously, he usually comes across as more of a physically imposing cyborg or mechanically advanced alien than a mutant. Truly, It was the first and only time that I've believed Apocalypse to be powerful before any of his celestial enhancements. As for X-Men Apocalypse, the film is ultimately bogged down by a lot of unnecessary baggage from the rest of the Fox X-Men franchise. Normally I try to ignore that sort of thing to focus on the story arc itself, but I just couldn't. Most of the character motivations were either weak or completely nonsensical. Then you have other factors like J-Law's Mystique drama (both on screen and behind the scenes) and the massive continuity error of Angel existing decades before he was supposed to have been born, and the fact that he was now British instead of American. But worst of all Apocalypse is just as inconsistent. The DoF end-credits scene built up a lot of expectations for me. Seeing the young En Sabah Nur casually build the pyramids, while being worshiped by seemingly millions was breath taking. His introductory scene as an adult in X-Men Apocalypse was also epic, as was his reawakening. I even liked how they basically gave him aspects of the Shadow King via his relationship with Storm. But then it went down hill. We see Apocalypse use mind control ONCE (when he piggybacks off Charles' psychic link to force the military to launch all the nukes) but otherwise it's suggested that he convinced the 4 Horsemen to follow him to end the world after a brief conversation. It would have made more sense if he had used some mind control to compel his horsemen. Because from what we see, he doesn't even make a very good case for his philosophy. For the rest of the movie he ceased using any and all of his impressive powers, aside from power argumentation, in favor of cheesy monologuing. Honestly, Apocalypse felt more like a plot device to reset the status quo and reestablish teen versions of the previous characters from the OG timeline. I also never understood how this version of the character acquired his tech/armor.

Sorry, Cyke's one of my favorites, and when I think about how most of the characters were handled in TAS, I get passionate. And Jean was *definitely* an improvement over her 90s counterpart.

[@KcKc13]

I agree-I think it’s mainly because the movies are pretty bad and because the comics have existed for so long that the writers probably feel like they’ve run out of material and just make stuff more and more weird and dramatic. The romances are too entangled and some of the plots have just been so weird, even for people with super powers. Also not to mention comics are often created mainly with a male audience in mind or even the artists and writers in mind, which sometimes leads to weak yet over sexualized female characters. I always thought I loved the x-men too, but it’s really just the x-men in a more kid-friendly bubble that I’ve loved (and I say this as an adult lol). I’ve been really excited about Mr and Mrs X though, I haven’t had the chance to read whole issues but I’ve read quite a few panels and it looks good! *Edit:* I'm not talking about powers but about characterization. I love so many female X-men members--Rogue and Storm are some of my favorite super heroes, period. But there are issues with how super powered women are portrayed at times so please read my comment below and research before trying to argue. Thanks! :)

[@KcKc13]

​@Jake I'm saying that Marvel and really super hero creators in general often have a problem portraying women not as weak heroes but as weak /characters./ Sometimes I feel like they lose out on character development in some comic lines and seem to just be there as sex appeal. This can be due to the way they're written or how they're drawn. Sometimes they're a really cool character that's well-loved but is STILL tinged in unnecessary constant sexualization (cough Rogue and Wonder Woman cough). This isn't ALWAYS true of course, and lots of times it only happens within specific comic lines and not in their story as a whole, but it happens enough within Marvel in general that I've noticed it ever since I was a kid. Comics aren't just about the fights and the powers anymore, it's about the reader connecting with the person behind the mask too. The demographics of super hero fans have changed dramatically as well; now tons of girls are interested as well, though really a number of us always have been. An example of what I'm saying: look at how many weird angles female characters are always drawn in. Their bottom or chest is always visible and they're twisting in unrealistic poses, even in fights. Almost every female super hero I've seen has unrealistic proportions and are way too curvy for their weight. Not every woman is an hourglass (And yes many of the Marvel men are unrealistically muscular but it's not at all the same). Please look up articles about this if you'd like more proof of sexualization in comics. I recommend the article "The Objectification of Women in Comic Books" from Fantasy Magazine. Also, look at Jean for example in many different storylines, including this show--a lot of times her personality is incredibly bland and only gets interesting because of her powers or Phoenix. Even in X-men: The Last Stand, where she becomes Phoenix and is so out of control they have to take her down, the most notable parts about her is that she [spoiler] killed the Professor and her husband and gets with Wolverine. Bland. You're right that those characters are some of the most powerful mutants, and hands down they're some of the coolest Marvel characters in general. Can't believe I forgot to give them credit since I love most of them. Kinda wish you'd responded more nicely though. :/

THIS WAS THE SHOW I GREW UP WITH

[@nkjr353]

X-Men Evolution and TMNT 2003 are my favorite comic book cartoon depictions. They have an actual teenage feel being fun and light while being able to show darker themes and subtle nuances in character and story.

[@joshuaahern1]

I've watched X-Men Evolution, and it's actually pretty good.

[@cupcakekiller7545]

I loved X Men Evolution, Especially Rogue😂❤️

[@legomultiverse4258]

I think this is the the best adaptation of the X-men because it balanced life as an x men and life as a teenager. I also like how it would add characters to the team as the show went on, which is something I felt the 90s cartoon lacked. I also enjoyed the character designs as they were a much more grounded take on the classic costumes. For me personally, the wolverine design is one of top three favorites behind the giant sized x men and the x force designs.

[@DawningofDragons]

I grew up watching it, and it cemented Rogue as my favorite character.

[@RedFoxReviewer]

I grew up watching the 90s X-Men cartoon and used to watch Evolution with my friends after school on the weekends. I've also seen most of Marvel's animated shows over the years.

[@dragonwatter]

personally i grew up on th 90s series. it really became my base line for x-men. this being said it took me a while to get into evolution. i was a bit insulted by the costumes. To men in the 90s series the costumes felt like expressions of each mutans individuality, which to me was to some extent what x-men was about. When evolution came out and the costumes looked so bland like the movies it felt like a betrayal of the source material. also i may have had a crush on the fuzzie dude, what i will say this the civilian clothing was great, I totally agrea i would love more good versions of emma frost. i thought she was awsome in wolverine and the x-men and fell in love with the her in the i wish she was my teacher way in the X-Men ANIME

[@fataleflare]

You should review Static Shock! It delt with a lot of mature themes that are super relevant now!

[@MidoriDad]

Yes!!! It wasn't afraid to go "there" (even though sometimes it felt a bit "afterschool special(ish))

[@bryanjeancharles1756]

You should do wolverine and the x-men if this becomes a series

[@405boy4]

I loved this series. They should bring it back..

[@reggieclarke3526]

Toad was my favorite i mean how can u not love him

[@randallflagg3700]

He had the best theme song0 T. O.A.D *TOAD!* . The Brotherhood were my favorite mutants, I just wished we could have seen more of the Acolytes...

[@bushbobberson9769]

RIP Cyclops’ VA Kirby Morrow

[@angeless5628]

X23 was born in this serie too^^ Shadowcat and her relation with Lance was nice too!

[@sladewilson6348]

She was underused

[@Kylehdez]

I loved kitty lol, it’s a shame that half the people in the cartoons aren’t in the movies, like quick silver. wander and spike

[@eliwinkels4546]

I grew up with X-Men Evolution as my only knowledge of the X-Men until parents decided I was "old enough" to watch the movies, and I gotta say, I'm glad it was Evolution that I grew up with. The animation style and storytelling were so good and the reason I fell in love with the X-Men, and to this day they still have many of my favorite depictions of characters and story arcs from the comics.

[@yahoo3388]

when you were saying the show was not afraid to go into x-men's light and dark sides, it reminded me of that time in the series when Rogue, when given the chance to save her mom Mystique and 'be better than her' she (in the most beautiful cartoon animation of a character i have possible ever seen) pushes her off a cliff with this impassioned roar... on one hand, the show was about kids playing around and giggling with their mutant powers... then you have these moments where these teens make adult, complex actions... like Rogue, who didnt want to show she was better than evil Mystique, she just wants to hurt her...

[@aspenbataille5827]

X-Men Evolution was one of the greatest shows of my childhood. All of the teen superhero shows were phenomenal to me (this, Iron Man Armored Adventures, Spectacular Spider-Man, etc.)

[@TheRealLemur]

I'm so glad to have you back Faust. You're one of my top favourite you tubers

[@jackferlito5762]

This show was the definitive X-men for me growing up. I think to a certain extent I subconsciously always come back to this when seeing something new with the X-men

[@Kullen64]

Loved it so much. Also, it gave us X-23 who really got me into comic books back in high school.

[@btrstopmotion7768]

This is the best adaptation of Cyclops to date.

[@alanfigueroa3386]

X-Men the animated series, X-Men evolution, Spider-Man the animated series, wolverine and the X-Men ECT...

[@aceofpentacles2k]

X-Men Evolution was my shit growing up and NO ONE I know has ever watched it and it always makes me sad. I feel the same way when I talk about W.I.T.C.H because no one seems to know that show either. Will, Rogue, Toph and Raven from Teen Titans greatly influenced my aesthetic

[@partydogs3337]

Dude fr I can never find anyone who’s watched this or any other show I watched (I didn’t have cable growing up so I had to watch old shows)

[@skylord2114]

I’d love for you to do a video like this again but with avengers earths mightiest heroes

[@Wyndamn]

One of the best cartoons EVER, criminally underrated.

[@wendellstephens6311]

The only good Avengers cartoon.

[@skylord2114]

Love you or hate you you were spitting straight facts

[@skylord2114]

Both of you are spitting straight facts

[@redhood5264]

That show was so good yes please Faust

[@Omakeer]

"Early 2000 Teenage Lesbian Goth" is my favourite description of anything ever!

[@nblvblbavery]

BECAUSE IT'S THE MOST TRUTH EVER SPOKEN.

[@ShizuruRavenRobin026]

i loved this show ,i feel it did rouge right unike the movie's andi like how they linked her to apocalypse,i'm happy it didn't do the phoenix arc ,from cartoon's to movies no one dose it right, i liked wanda in this but feel she was better in wolverine and the x-man

[@newwaveplus]

Evolution is probably my favorite incarnation of the X-Men.

[@Persepholeigh]

X-Men: Evolution was my second ever experience with superheroes [After Powerpuff Girls], and it helped shape nearly every aspect of my life. My writing is heavily influenced by it, and I even spent a few years working on a continuation for it that was intensive enough that I only needed a script and animation skills to turn it into something viewable. It's one of those things that I have difficulty listening to even valid criticism for it.

[@carlcnn]

I’m 25 now, I remembering watching the 90’s cartoon as a kid, x-men evolution was a fun take on the X-men, I didn’t like the de-ageing at first but then I thought it was quite cool, I just wish they would’ve developed more of the stories with the new mutants!

[@TheMaka19]

Yes and I think when I was growing up wanda and rouge influenced me a lot

[@Kylehdez]

I loved kitty lol, it’s a shame that half the people in the cartoons aren’t in the movies, like quick silver. wander and spike

[@goddessinyou654]

Raymond Stevens Kitty has an annoying voice.

[@Kylehdez]

Goddess In you lol

[@dinosaysrawr]

"When people call themselves 'realists,' they're usually just rationalizing being jerks" is actually a really important and useful message for a children's show to convey.

[@lightheart5]

That's the point, not everyone's going to know how to deal with people born with superpowers

[@Itsisaacdhx]

Loved Evolution and all the other animated X-men shows!😆

[@Neethan3247]

This, Specacular Spiderman, Gargoyles, and ReBoot are great shows that ended without a proper finale. Someone needs to start a petition to bring these back. Glad you did a video on this bro. Cheers.

[@BigK13372]

Gargoyles continued on in the comics.

[@Poisonivy4444]

X-men evolution was my favorite growing up

[@CrystalPepsiDog]

I really loved the Morlocks and Spyke plot. In episode "Uprising" you can see how Spyke, this kinda childish and fun-loving teenager that rides a skateboard becomes a real man fighting for freedom and acceptance among humans of "underground" mutants, he strongly believes in this cause and risks his life for his kinsmen. I found the ending of this episode very emotional, especially when Storm said to him "I'm proud of you" as he was descending back into canal with other Morlocks.

[@breeh6414]

Evolution was my first xmen show, I fell in love with it. And also I'm 100% on Magneto's side.

[@natnyx7700]

as a kid I was super into comic tv and grew up on Spectacular Spiderman, X Men Evolution and original, Batman The Animated Series, Young Justice, and Avengers EMH and what a good childhood

[@brad310617]

I've certainly have seen all the XMen originated cartoons and shows. Although X Men Evolution was the one that I would watch as it was developed, still love 90s X Men more as reruns. The 90s one was so iconic and made me get the opening as a ringtone in middle school when many of the people my age didnt even know what it was. I love both these mediums for different reasons, although I cant stress enough of how I hate the adaptations of X Men in almost all the live actions. Choices in actors being one problem while also having such tonal whiplash is so unsettling. Even the act of portraying the Phoenix Force was horried as not Jean seemed like just a pawn without her own agency.

[@Tthomasia1]

I loooved X-Men evolution and still sing its praises to this day

[@dublinpaper]

Loved this show. It's my favorite X-Men show of all time!

[@kagomefan112]

I absolutely love X-men Evolution it was my childhood I watched evolution before the original series and I can honestly say I personally think it was really really well done. I think it deserves more love and definitely more fans. It had different writing with everyone being teenagers but that’s what made it so unique and so different. Not to mention it’s thanks to this cartoon adaptation that we got x-23

[@marcelinorosas6868]

X-men evolution was such a great one!

[@Sasoriscarecrow]

I love that Alex and Scott don't hate each other in this version.

[@muzumaki619]

Im still amazed there was that one episode of the show that had the generic white girl dance sequence with Rouge and Kitty Pryde

[@randallflagg3700]

You mean they rotoscoped Buffy & Faith's dance from Buffy season 3, that was a nice hommage to one of my favorite live action shows ever

[@beckwilliams2524]

@@randallflagg3700 they rotoscoped a scene from The Craft and a dance from Coyote Ugly too in the episode Walk on the Wild side.

[@BigK13372]

I think we all like to pretend that episode didn’t exist. Just like Powerless from Avengers: EMH

[@noahwhiteside2322]

Back when I was a kid I always watched X men Evolution on cartoon network and it was one of my favorite shows it was one of the shows along with batman and justice league that got me into hero's

[@randomavenger3048]

One of the few addaptions of Cyclops that didn't made him look like a completely idiot.

[@lissah1103]

Not only was X-Men Evolution one of the most foundational shows of my childhood, but this Rogue X-Men Evo is the best cosplay I've ever worked on making.

[@GuyNamedGray]

Watched the show every Saturday morning, really made me appreciate Rogue and Kitty. Any chance of a video on Wolverine & the X-Men?

[@Kylehdez]

I miss kitty and lance lol they should have put him in the movies

[@dippy_1999]

@Raymond Stevens He was in the movies. He was just some background cannonfodder in The Last Stand.

[@izzyart6669]

I grew up and loved both the 90s X-Men animated series ( In the eary 00s, I used to watch VCR tapes from the video store with my parents, so I didn't know it was from 10 years after it aired) and X-Men Evolution so it was definitely apart of my Marvel childhood, then Wolverine and The X-Men. Love them all

[@angeltomlinson2635]

This was my favorite adaptation of this show

[@jeffco5237]

X-men evolution series really focuses on the lives of the students rather then the super hero adventures, made the characters more real to me

[@tgiacin435]

My favorite mutants is Mystique, Colossus, Rogue, Wanda and Pietro, and the Blob. I’m probably one of the only people who thinks this, but I feel Blob was kinda underrated. I honestly liked his main costume, but that’s cause I tend to be drawn to comic characters that prefer street clothes over the spandex. Plus unlike his other versions, he isn’t made to look gross.

[@Reddove18]

I grew up with both cartoons and loved both, each had their own things that were really amazing. That said, I must now say that I LOVED X-Men Evolution a tiny bit more than the 90's one, the show was great and it was a really let down that they didn't keep it going longer. My fave character was Rogue, and I loved what this show did with her; showing us her complicated relationship with mystique and kurt (my fave thing in ever), this show also showed us just how scary the truth potential of her powers can really be (Using all the powers of every single mutan she has touched to that point?! S C A R Y but also awesome lmao). I really wish we could've seen more of the show, because as you just mentioned in your video, I would've loved to see their take of Captain Marvel and what happens with Rogue, I mean they only showed us a climpse in the end with Rogue flying down in that last scene, letting us know that she does have Captain Marvel's power in that point in the future. Man, I wish we could've seen that in the show.
