More X-men on DVD

They're not in Sins of the Father. Secret Wars is in the last season right before the last story arc. Sins was the Season 3 arc. Technically it is the last appearance of the X-men as it aired after the X-men series ended.

I was so angry with that mini-series. It (potentially) could have been as good as The Phoenix Saga, but Rogue was completely shafted during the entire saga. She didn't have a single speaking line in the whole saga (minus a couple lines in the first episode, out of uniform). And then having it be only Magneto and Wolverine versus Apocalypse was a terrible final battle for them to have. If the WHOLE team would have taken on Apocalypse, Mr. Sinister, the 4 Horsemen and The Nasty Boys in the finale, I would have liked it far better.

In related news, according to the moderator over at Marvel Animation Forum, his contact from Buena Vista said that these sets will be pushed back another week and not be released until September 22nd.

Better than Graduation Day. While I haven't seen half of the last season, I have seen that episode and it made wish Beyond Good and Evil was the series finale like planned. I can't say how great Beyond Good and Evil is because I honestly remember very little about it other than enjoying it. I mean it's been at least a decade since I've seen the episodes.

...I just made myself feel old...

Oh I woulda been pretty ticked if they made Beyond Good And Evil the finale. Rogue fans would have had every reason to be ticked off that she did nothing or said nothing in the entire mini-series. Like I said, if they woulda included her and had it as one huge final battle against Apocalypse, that woulda been awesome. But just with Wolverine and Magneto, that woulda been a pathetic end to the series. I liked "Graduation Day" but it certainly should have been an hour finale.

Is it me or are they using air date order and not episode order? Oh well, I think I'll be switching the disc order on volume 4 if it doesn't contradict itself (like swtiching TMNT Season 6 around).

Are any episodes out of order this way? As in an episode directly follows/mentions/flashbacks to/etc. an episode before it happens in the order listed.

EDIT: Wait, doesn't that add up to 62 when the first 4 seasons adds up to 66? Great, what episodes are being shoved into season 5...

[Dark 5cythe]

the first 2 dvds were so awesome. this is how all dvd releases should be. PACKED with episodes. Not 4 episodes for every $20 dvd like some other series.

Is anyone watching wolverine and the xmen too? I just caught the 3 episode pilot and it seemes like its a continuaton of the 90's series.

[FlawedCoil82]

Unfortunately Disney is now releasing these episodes in airdate order instead of correct order. The episode "No Mutant Is An Island" (the episode which reflects on Jean's supposed death after the Phoenix Saga) will not appear until sometime on Volume 5. So the episodes will not be in order because Disney is still completely clueless with this series. I just hope that the digital interlacing problems on Volume 1 and Volume 2 will be corrected on these next releases.

Also, I previously reported that they had pushed the release date back to September 22nd (directly from a Buena Vista insider) but that has changed again. As of right now, the release date for both Volume 3 and Volume 4 is back at September 15th.

That's exactly what I was afraid of. This is worse than Darkwing Duck's episode order (or most any other Disney animated show order).

Damnit Disney you were doing things right for once and ya just had to ruin it

[Jester]

Yeah, Duck Tales ticked me off. The "pilot" arc wasn't even on the first volume. WTH?

[Spike Spiegel]

I'm all set to buy Volumes One and Two within the next two days...are there any cool extras on these DVDs?

[FlawedCoil82]

Unfortunately, there are no special features on these dvds.

[Spike Spiegel]

Bought Volumes 1 and 2 for just under $40 today. I still can't believe they are so cheap!! This is going to be a very easy series to collect, assuming that the other sets do get released.

[Spitfire]

My favorite part about the special features that aren't there are the fact they like to remind you of them for 10 minutes before the DVD menu. They keep bringing up crap about commentaries and stuff when there is none.

And what's this out of order episode crap? That's just annoying. What idiot thought that was a good idea? Let's take a perfectly good DVD set and F it up.
