Wolverine et les X-Men

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!!!

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.

Wolverine and the X-Men is a really engaging and addictive show and needs someone to take it up for at least a second season.

The premise is that Wolverine must gather the X-Men to correct what caused the downfall into endless war and suffering in the future after an explosion at the institute works really well as a framework for the overall story. Gradually the pieces are put back together and never feels dragged out.

Though Wolverine is the central character to the story we also get a well done character arcs for others like Emma Frost, Jean Grey and Cyclops which all serve the story to perfection.

Though the violence is toned down to make it suitable to younger viewers the writers didn't shy away from keeping the tone rather dark with thrilling action scenes told through smooth and slick animation. Some shots of different places in here look absolutely gorgeous.

And the voice acting is top-notch! Steve Blum does a pretty convincing impersonation of Cathal Dodd from the 90's series and Jim Ward is suitably suiting as Charles Xavier. There are cases of truly powerful acting especially from Nolan North as Cyclops which amazed me.

Wolverine and the X-Men is very underrated in my opinion, because despite its short running time it manages to get on par with the 90's series which many use as a tool for comparison like Batman: the Animated Series is to later incarnations. But this deserves a second season, because such a cliff-hanger ending is begging to get a second season.

A must watch for X-Men fans on par with the 90's series.

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"!!!!

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