Wolverine and the X-Men

What has happened to Marvel TV cartoons?? On the DC side, excellent reimaginings of Batman, Superman and the Justice League have been plentiful with so, so many substandard versions of Spiderman and X-Men based on Manga for Generation 'Teen'. The recent 'Next Avengers - Heroes of Tomorrow' was better but again for a younger audience in my opinion.

I don't need to see a bunch of kids reenact adult X-Men situations where there's no risk. This series bodes much better, feeding off the 80s X-Men series. Yes, there are some serious plot problems having Wolverine lead but they're addressed in the right way where many X-Men don't want to follow him.

Fantastic, and well overdue.

This had potential to be up there with the 90s animated series but it only got 1 season. I wish they brought this back

When I first heard about this show, I was as you can guess, very excited and it did not fail to live up to expectations. The X-Men (who consists of Wolverine (duh), Cyclops, Storm, Forge, Iceman, Kitty, Beast, Rogue, Emma Frost, Jean Grey and Nightcrawler) are handled very well in terms of characterization. Sure, some things have obviously changed but this is good change. They have taken the X-Men in a totally different direction as compared to X-Men (TAS) and X-Men Evolution. Basically, Professor X is in some kind of coma but is also in the future, which at the time, is being dominated, by Sentinels and it is up to the X-Men (in the present) to stop that future from happening. Neat, huh?

Wolverine and the X-Men, is in my opinion, a more-serious take on the X-Men. The stories are deeper and go in to explain some of the character's origins i.e. Cyclops which is always nice to see as opposed to the comics. The action sequences (if you can call them that) are good and certainly entertaining although I feel as if sometimes, they are a little repetitive if you know what I mean. I would say Magneto is the main villain throughout season one although they also have to battle the Brotherhood on more than one occasion and on those rare occasions, each other. Season two, however, will focus on Age of Apocalypse. I also hear Deadpool will be making an appearance.

Although Wolverine and the X-Men, is undoubtedly entertaining and has its fair share of funny moments, I prefer X-Men (TAS), mainly because Wolverine was not in the spot-light all the time and the chemistry between characters was fantastic! I just love them. Scott is such a boy scout. I also think the Phoenix saga was in a way, handled better seeing as it lasted for longer. Nevertheless, Wolverine and the X-Men is still thoroughly entertaining and I cannot wait for season two. Watch it. You won't regret it! 8/10.

Being a fully grown "adult" in my mid 20's who still reads comics and watches cartoons, naturally i nearly wet my pants with excitement after hearing of a new animated X-men show and after watching the trailer on "YouTube" I knew I was going to be in for something special.

I've just finished watching season one on DVD with each episode in close proximity intervals and I've got to say that the show is extremely addictive and the episodes flow really smoothly from one to the other.

There is a great storyline which pretty much starts in episode one and continues throughout the series with only a few "filler" type episodes (which are also very entertaining). The animation is top notch for an American cartoon series (I'm into Anime) and the voice casting and acting is spot-on! The legendary Steve Blum (voice of "Spike" in "Cowboy Bebop) reprises his role as "Wolverine" which is also great seeing as he's pretty much the "Kevin Conroy" of Marvel and Wolverine!

I believe that this series is more aimed at individuals already familiar with the "X-universe" and features many mutants never before seen in any previous animated "X-men" series. The overall tone is also "grittier" than you average cartoon series and is low on "cheese" (thankfully) with a lot of themes more aimed at teenagers and young adults as apposed to young children. That being said, the kids will still love this show as there is enough action and eye-candy to keep their short attention spans occupied outside of a story which may be a little complex for some.

Although i've been a long-time comic enthusiast and fan of the "X-men" mythos I wasn't a huge fan of the last animated X-men series "Evolutions" and thought that the early 90's series was far superior in every aspect.

However, I now have a new favourite "X-toon" and it's called "Wolverine and the X-men" and yes it is better than the early 90's cartoon series but only just ; )

Bring on "The Age of Apocalypes"!!!!

Just finished it. I'm mad I never watched it from start to finish 10 years ago!! Now that it's on Disney+ can we please finally get season 2 and see what destruction Apocalypse brings to the series please and thank you!!!
