X-Men 90's Animated Series Coming To DVD!! - Page 4

FlawedCoil82 · 09-28-2009, 10:14 PM

I am not sure why Rogue and Gambit were missing from so many episodes in season 4 and 5. I am a huge 90's Rogue fan so I was upset anytime she was left out. The biggest offending episodes were the "Beyond Good And Evil" episodes on Volume 4. Rogue is in the first episode (out of uniform) and says about 3 lines. After that, she is completely left out of the entire saga. Cyclops even tells her to stay at the mansion while they all go off to fight Apocalypse and Mr. Sinister. Wouldn't it be a good idea to take your strongest team member with you to face two of your deadliest enemies?

That nonsense of refusing to let Rogue fight in any of those battles or even have any speaking lines destroyed the entire "Beyond Good And Evil" saga for me.

And Gambit was absent completely from the 5th season except for cameos in "Bloodlines" and "The Phalanx Part 2". And then he appeared in 3 of the final episodes of the series but with a different voice actor (who sucks). After Season 3 even Jean Grey was regularly ignored. Only Wolverine and Beast were in like every episode.

Woohoo! The box art and release date for X-Men: Volume 5 (the final set in the collection) has been released. I am not a fan of the cover though. But I am thrilled to see that Disney will actually finish releasing a series on dvd (something not done too often). The release date is set for March 3rd, 2010. Check it!

I didn't know Captain America was a major player in X-men...He was in a few Spider-man episodes.

Anyways looks cool to me. I'm glad they threw Omega Red on there and even Mojo. I was worried they weren't going to include those episodes.

FlawedCoil82 · 12-21-2009, 08:25 PM

Captain America was only in the one episode called "Old Soldiers" (along with Red Skull). I am assuming that they put Captain America on the cover though to tie it in with the Captain America movie (whenever that is coming out?). Defintiely my least favorite of the covers though. I think more team members should have been featured on the cover. Oh well...

I know he's the most popular Marvel character but I think it's funny Wolverine manged to be the center piece of every cover except volume 3.

Anyways here's to Spider-man hopefully coming out next.

*Spike Spiegel* · 12-29-2009, 10:06 AM

The artist of all the covers, David Nakayama, says on his DeviantArt that he is working on a new project that is "something along the same lines."

Maybe it's a cover for a Spider-Man DVD or another X-Men series like EVO? After all Disney does own Marvel now...

*tone-master21* · 01-04-2010, 03:18 PM

TVShowsOnDVD.com has posted about the cover art.

It also says that Disney is going to be working on similar DVD releases to X-Men for the 1994 Spider-Man series that are expected in 2011.

FlawedCoil82 · 01-29-2010, 04:46 PM

OK, now TVShowsonDVD.com has comfirmed that X-Men, Volume 5 will finally be released on May 4th, 2010!

And in Marvel related news, Iron Man The Complete Series will also be released as a 3 disc dvd set on the same date!

Awesome. Too bad I already bought the Canadian Ironman set. Oh well.

FlawedCoil82 · 05-04-2010, 10:40 PM

Just a reminder for everyone, the fifth (and final) volume of X-Men the animated series has been released on dvd as of today! Be sure to pick it up and complete you X-Men collection!

sweet, thanks for the news.
Just talking about the last vol. last week.

*Brodie* · 05-05-2010, 12:17 AM

Picked up mine today, along with Iron Man.

*Spitfire* · 05-05-2010, 12:30 AM

Gotta get mine this weekend. I'll probably get the Iron Man set too just so I have the seasons separate. Season 1 is kinda unwatchable.

*Brodie* · 05-05-2010, 12:39 AM

What do you mean "seasons seperate"? Its all one pack.

Anything that has the line "spritsed by the boss" is quite forgivable

FlawedCoil82 · 05-05-2010, 02:48 AM

I only saw a couple episodes of Iron Man and thought they were terrible. I didn't know if that set was worth picking up...

*Brodie* · 05-05-2010, 03:15 AM

Somewhat unrelated...but, does anyone know if the US will ever see a full season release on Wolverine & The X-Men? I know Canada has it, but I'm tempted to wait a bit to see if the US might get it with all the features on the single disc releases...

Help, anyone?

I was hoping Seasons 1 and 2 were on different disks in the new set but I just looked on Amazon and saw they're not. The set I have has season 2 starting half way on the 2nd disk. Also the disk cuts out intros and end credits, which I don't mind but it blends everything together a bit awkwardly. I'm also guessing the quality will be better on the new set.

I'm also hoping for a full series release of Wolverine and the X-men. I'll buy the Canadian set if i have to but I'd rather get a US release. I'm hoping if they release it here the set will contain some information on the unfinished 2nd season.

The 2nd season is a lot better. Better animation, stories, pretty much everything. No more bad CGI transformation scenes or annoying side kick characters for the most part. It's not as good as X-men but it's a fun watch. A lot like the 2nd Fantastic Four season. Now if they would only release Silver Surfer and Spider-man.

Koschei · 05-05-2010, 11:39 PM

Love the box art for the DVD sets, but I havnt seen the new one yet?

FlawedCoil82 · 05-06-2010, 02:34 AM

Koschei, click the link below for the cover of X-Men, Volume 5:

Thanks for the advice Spitfire. I may pick it up then. I'm pretty sure the episodes I saw from Iron Man were from the first season.
