Nope. Nicktoons is kinda like Boomerang (Cartoon Network's oldies cartoons station). It's only available on Digital Cable or whatnot. I MAY have it but I dunno. The only tv with digital is in the living room... :/

The last trailer was better but this one wasnt bad.

*ToTheNines* · 05-06-2008, 06:56 PM

Wow can't believe this is gonna be a series looks more like a movie.

And did anyone else see the Hulk?

*Raph's Girl* · 05-06-2008, 07:08 PM

Wow!! Rhane, Hulk, and some of the New/Young X-Men (I saw Dust! ) are all in this?!

So Xavier is sorta um...in a coma or something?? So much for him and Jean being dead.

The series is set to debut in the UK August 2nd on BBC2 with repeats Wednesdays at 4:30pm. Season 1 DVD will out in November. It doesn't even arrive to the U.S till like March. Meanwhile there's pics of the cast

The Good:
Beast, Nightcrawler, Angel, Emma, Scott, Kitty Pryde, Xavier, Wolverine, Collosus, and Storm...what? No Jean?:

The bad and very ugly:
Magneto, Blob, Avalanch (dude in metal), Domino, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, Mistique, and Toad (who actually looks like a frog for once or the son of the wicked witch of the west...)

*ZariusTwo* · 06-05-2008, 04:53 PM

Jean's name is mentioned in the press release, so she's definatly returning, though probably, to match her current use in the comics, not a whole lot (they have to push the incessant Scott/Emma relationship)

*Raph's Girl* · 06-24-2008, 02:05 AM

New trailer's up for Wolverine and the X-Men. This shows a battle scene between Cyclops, Emma, Beast, Logan, Kitty, Iceman, Angel, Nightcrawler, and Storm vs the military (I think) and a Sentinal.

The background music appears to be an updated version of the 90's theme!

Hey all you lucky Canadians! The series premiers on YTV Sept 6th at 7pm!

http://marvel.toonzone.net/news.php?...fullnews&id=67

As for the UK. It was supposed to premier at the beginning of this month but there's been no word on what's going on with that. So it looks like Canada is getting it first.

*Dr. Doom* · 08-19-2008, 04:33 PM

Who the **** cares about Angel, honestly? He's like the most boring member to ever be on the team. Maggot was more interesting in his short time with the X-Men than Angel has ever been in 45 years.

*ToTheNines* · 08-19-2008, 06:16 PM

Where's Lockheed?

And Gambits way more amazing with all his teen angst.

Some say, if you listen close, you can hear him listening to the Cure, while shopping at Hot Topic.

Lolz, that confused me for a second.

*Mecha Cow* · 08-20-2008, 04:42 PM

Did Cure say something? Who knows, nobody listens to him.

*Raph's Girl* · 09-07-2008, 01:28 PM

Welp the series premiered last night in Canada and has been apperantly airing in Mexico and South America since last month.

According to some spoilers it seems

Spoiler:

And after watching the first ep... Man....loved every minute of it!! I cheered when the theme song played...the 90's theme!

Angel, I agree was pretty boring. However I loved him when he became Archangel (until he lost the metal wings). The X-Men in the 90's were completely flawless. However everything started going downhill when Wolverine lost his adamantium. Then the Age Of Apocalypse nearly killed the series for me, then they rebounded (slightly) when they came back somewhat normal. However since then Marvel has wasted no time in continuing to slowly destroy them. I completely lost interest when they went into to the leather uniforms and stopped reading. Then around X-Men 156 they brought the X-Men back in traditional costumes and I started reading again. However since then, Marvel has again started tearing X-Men apart yet again. Beast is now a cat, Rogue is back in her boring green robe when she should ALWAYS be in the green/yellow uniform (not to mention she is now a wuss, losing all of Ms. Marvel's abilities), Wolverine's "horns" have gotten smaller making him look very goofy, etc.

I so badly yearn for the X-Men of the early 90's where the team line-ups were flawless, the costumes were perfect, the stories were great, the artwork was amazing (Andy Kubert/Jim Lee), and the villians were all interesting as well. I wish that Marvel would do a spin-off series of X-Men where it concentrated on the X-Men from the 90's cartoon again, but with all new stories and good artwork again. Until they do that, I guarantee X-Men will never again appeal to me the way they did in the early 90's.

The 90s show with the s*it voice-acting, overeliance on rehashing comic plots, and had stifiled animation that simply doesnt hold up anymore is ALWAYS used as the benchmark because it was the first regular series, rather than used as the benchmark because it was the best.

The current Spider-Man series is better than the 1990s X-Men series, as is most other Marvel series

As for the X-Men not being appealing these days? Morrison, Whedon, and Brubaker have been doing wonders with the title...but unfortunatly, only Morrison has been able to produce any memorable new characters...who convieniantly were all taken out when he left. I'd say stuff like "Messiah CompleX" managed to redeem the franchise and finally give it real purpose again.

FlawedCoil82 · 09-07-2008, 10:18 PM

Wow, I have never seen anyone say that the voice actors from the 90's X-Men were anything less than perfect.

The animation style, I agree, was not the best but it was far better than the 90's Spider-Man, as well as with most of the animation today. I also thought that the character designs were FAR superior to X-Men: Evolution as well as Wolverine And The X-Men. I also thoroughly enjoyed how the 90's cartoon took classic comic tales and "modernized" them to fit into the cartoon. For example, I much prefered their take on The Phoenix Saga/Dark Phoenix Saga over the original story from the 80's, which mostly featured characters I did not like to begin with. X-Men: Evolution did not even compare to the 90's series (neither did the pilot "Pryde Of The X-Men") for me. And I am certainly not expecting Wolverine And The X-Men to impress me more than the 90's series either. Their new costumes are already turning me off, along with the voices. I much prefered the voices from the 90's. Rogue, Gambit, Wolverine, Beast and Professor X especially could not have possibly had any better voice actors.

According to some spoilers it seems Spoiler: Ultimate Nick Fury appears in the series! And after watching the first ep... Man....loved every minute of it!! I cheered when the theme song played...the 90's theme! Spoiler: The series starts with Logan leaving the mansion to go on one of his trips or whatever. He's saying goodbye to everyone. Kurt, Kitty, and Peter are in the danger room and Logan uses it to capture them in a joke. Kurt appears to be a bit of an ass to Kitty. Outside Scott and Jean are arguing and Jean blows Logan a kiss. Seems there's more to them than meets the eye. Rogue, who appears to have the same relationship with Logan that she did in Evolution, is pissed that he's leaving explaining that she's just like him. This makes him sad. Then the explosion happens for no reason whatsoever. Even a year later Beast is all "WTF?!" over what happened. A year later and the X-men are all seperated, mutants are being hunted, and Magneto rules Genosha. Logan is on the road on his bike and sees an explosion happen. A train has crashed into a motorhome. Logan saves a little girl and the family is greatful. Altho their ass of a friend calls the Mutant catchers on em. For a time the family hides Logan in their home but then the family are captured by the mutant catchers and of course pisses off Logan. He and beast then get into the holding facility (by pretending Beast is a prisoner) to rescue them and they end up rescuing mutants in the facility. Said mutants are Pyro (who appears to be Australian), Boom Boom, Rockslide, and Dust!! Now Rockslide doesn't do anything but Pyro, Boom Boom, and Dust show off their powers in escaping. In the end Logan takes the family to a safe spot. A cabin. The little girl has befiended him. But he can't stay because he realizes that the X-Men are needed to stop what has been going on against all mutants. __________________
