X-Men 90's Animated Series Coming To DVD!!

[Spitfire]

Over the past few days I've been watching this set. I just finished "Old Soldiers". So far it's pretty bland in my opinion. The episodes I have liked were old ones that didn't make it onto the other sets. This set is mostly the last season of the series which has really dumbed down animation. Jubilee has been in a lot of the episodes and her character is annoying. Gambit's voice actor is totally different and the only episode he's in so far could be tied with the Christmas episode for worst episode in the entire series.

"Old Soldiers" is a fun story but it makes no sense. Wolverine has been set up this whole series as not being able to remember anything before his operation, what he does remember were implanted memories and missions he did. Now all of a sudden he can remember back to what he did during WW2? Really doesn't work for me.

I have 3 left to watch I think so hopefully they're at least decent but I'm not counting on it.

I've been enjoying the episodes I've watched so far. I missed out on the last season when it was first on. The episodes aren't as good as the previous seasons' episodes, but still better than most cartoon shows out there.

I never understood why the Christmas episode got so much hate. I watch that episode every Christmas eve. Sure, there were cliche moments in it but I think that is present in any episode. I also don't understand why people hated the new animation so much? I would have taken more of that over the animation from the other 2 X-Men animated shows any day. My only beef with it was there were only 3 episodes that featured stories in the present time (Graduation Day, Hidden Agendas and The Fifth Horseman). The other three episodes were complete wastes of time and effort and added nothing to the series. "Old Soldiers" was decent but the other two are among the worst episodes in the entire series. An episode devoted solely to the origins of Mr. Sinister? Why didn't Magneto or Apocalypse get full origin episodes? And I won't even speak of "Jubilee's Fairytale Theatre". God, that episode is an embarassment. But I'd still take anything from those 6 episodes over X-Men Evolution or Wolverine And The X-Men.

Really? Wolverine and the X-men is probably one of the best animated series I've seen in a long time. It reminded me a lot of the 90's series with it's story arcs. The whole season was leading up to one big event. I also liked how they switched between the present and the future. Really sad it didn't continue.

Anyways my issue with the new animation is the characters just didn't look very good. All the detail was gone. The 90's Spider-man series looked better. Also the backgrounds didn't seem to match. The stories were stupider, all of them, and while the series never had great dialogue how horrid it was stuck out more when the cool comic style animation wasn't there to distract me. I also felt like the voice actors were trying even less then usual. It felt like they just didn't care. It was a tacked on after thought season. They didn't expect to be around after "Beyond Good and Evil" but they got one more season.

so glad they decided to release these sets. the 1-3 episode themed dvds weren't cutting it.
