X-Men: Evolution is Axed
 
I knew this would happen, but with "Teen Titans" proving to be a better success (not to mention it's story arcs are great), W.B clearly did'nt feel like X-Men: Evolution was good enough to gain a new season.

Bastards, I loved X-Men: Evolution, ten times better than the 90's series (which was godo itself), it was original, and was'nt afraid to take risks, Third Season is the greatest, whilst The Apocalypse Saga was the most character-driven arc ever.

Yeah, it's a shame. The show was great, and I liked the new takes on characters. And it sucks it's ending now, as Season 5 was going to focus on the Phoenix Saga. Oh well, atleast they're releasing the DVDs. And I'm sure we'll get a new animated series sooner or later. Maybe Ultimate X-Men. :)

'X-MEN: EVOLUTION' CANCELLED'

A source has informed Animation Insider that fan-favorite series, X-Men: Evolution has been cancelled. The source then goes on to say that he is unclear whether or not it was a decision by Kids' WB!, the network that has broadcast the hit-series for four seasons, or Marvel Entertainment, the company that produces it.

The series featured teenage versions of the popular X-Men comic-book characters, originally co-created by comic legend, Stan Lee. The series initally focused on the exploits of the characters in high school and the balancing act that came with being both students and mutants. Eventually, the series began to "evolve" and took a more darker and more adult tone in the later seasons. The fifth season, according to our source, would have focused on the Phoenix Saga.

X-Men: Evolution was a ratings hit for Kids' WB! in its four years on the air and gained some critical praise from people of all ages.

Animation Insider would like to wish the crew of the series the best of luck in whatever the future may bring them and thank them for four memorable seasons on the show.

:( I really liked that show.... i didn't get to watch Season 3 all that much, though. Could someone tell me what went on in season 3?

They're still showing X Men on Cartoon Network aren't they? Well, but those are reruns you've all seen I guess right. Oh well...

Season Three continued the arc of the Mutants being revealed to the world, Xavier had to fight to get his students re-instated into the high school.

Jean and Scott got together at last, Spyke (a pathetic character) finally left the series, Magneto made sure Wanda never remembered he locked her in an asylum, and The Apocalype saga began, it also ended the season.

i still liked the old series alot beter, but this one wasnt bad. i never got into it though.

..........You mean it wasn't already...?

MW8979 01-31-2004 07:05 PM

Yeah, the old series was good. Animation was well done and the stories were usually well executed. Especially when they all went to the axis of time to fight Apocalypse, Sinister and Magneto.

Friggin Teen titans they put japanese-anime acting into american shows, damn them

Mars-Chan 01-31-2004 10:43 PM

:teek: NOT X-MEN EVOLUTION!!! *faints*

Kid Icarus 01-31-2004 10:55 PM

I heard about this happening a few months ago =\. I really liked that series too.

The Defibrillator 02-01-2004 12:26 AM

AH, poop. Another good show lost.

Hey Mars, cool avatar!

Sparvid 02-01-2004 05:13 AM

Crap :(
I have only seen one full episode of Teen Titans, and based on that I can't see how it could be better than X-Men Evo...

Dr. Doom 02-02-2004 09:33 AM

It's definately a better show. And this is me trying to be Objective, I swear.

Gremlin 02-02-2004 09:48 AM

They might have cancelled the evolution series but all of the glipses we saw on the last episode, they could easily make another x-men series as some kind of a sequel to this one, with older characters then.

That would be awesome, as for evolution... I felt like they were about to run out of ideas that could fit the high school view of it all. A phoenix Saga with an unexperienced Jean Grey would not work.

Yeah... say what you will about Saban, but animated versions of Marvel comics was the one thing they made that I liked! The new series was good (and I too thought they canned it as well) but Just not the same... I mean, no Morph, no Jubilee, Gambit was only in a few eps (and besides Wolverine, he was my favorite). It's a good show, it's a shame it's canned but I miss the old one much much more.

As for Titans... I like the show, but I do not like the Anime look... it's really jarring to see them do American animation with Japanese segments. If they wanted to do it all Anime, why not just get a Japanese studio to animate it? I think the show would be just as effective if it was animated like the BAtman series of the 90's instead...seemed a bit arbitrary in that decision for me...

Kid Icarus 02-02-2004 03:42 PM

Just be thankful that TT diden't end up like Totally Spies. Now THAT is American anime gone wrong :dead: .

Drtooth 02-02-2004 04:10 PM

GAG! Don't evern want to think about totally Spies!

I mean, shows like TMNT have Anime influences and don't just try to assimilate it...
