Wolverine and the X-Men

[ZT4]

To be fair, Marvel's 1990s continuity was strong at times (when handled correctly, like the FOX Spidey/X-Men crossover, and Iron Man's apperance in The Hulk)

But yeah, it's been a struggle for Marvel to keep anything afloat. And the quality of their shows varies. This is of course, is why Timm's DCAU was superior, it's run EXACTLY like DC would be run, with a team of writers and an established direction. Marvel don't have that because they want their shows to be self-contained.

Their best show, the FOX Spider-Man series, was developed by Stan Lee, Avrad, and Semper, but Semper was the head writer for the entire run, and wrote a clear and precise direction that went from points A to B. (Avrad got in the way and told him to put Hobgoblin before Green Goblin and other nonsense, which drove Semper from Marvel). That series ended on a cliffhanger, yet nobody would noticed because of the way the finale was written, you could kind of figure where Spidey was going.

The scheduling of CN betrayed and buried Fantastic Four (nevermind that the show itself is the pits), I dont know WHO Marvel piss off, but it might have to do a lot with toysales and merchandising. The Evolution line bombed big time, and the FF one never got really started.

i was talking about continuity when it concers their 00 cartoons not the 90's. besides i was just generally speaking.

this has always been my assumption..

It looks well-animated an well-written for sure. I'm not digging what looks like to be heavy emphasis on Wolverine though. To me it looks like he may even be in the leadership role, which would be enough to make me not watch it in itself.

It looks awful. The scene with Cyclops with the stubble and all morose in that hotel mourning jean screamed cliched 80s action flick, but not in a good way. Plus all the voices are horrible and the choice of the music just didnt' fit.

That animation is really close to X-men evolution, is it some sort of sequel?

[Acecool]

Looks pretty good. I know people have a thing against wolverine because he is popular and that makes him defacto invincible, and we have to deal with wolverine fan boys. However that doesn't make him a bad character, when written right people can get into it. This looks pretty good.

At least with wolverine trying to bring the X-men back together the title at least makes some sense.

Besides, every one knows wolverine and it hooks people into the show. Titles are nothing, the actual story is what matters.

I have to say, that trailer looks really awesome. I was kind of a little nervous about this series, but I'm really excited for it now. The voices all seem pretty good, the story looks really interesting, and it looks to be really well animated and written.

Fall can't come quickly enough.

It wasn't a terrible trailer, but it doesn't look like a must-see, either. Some of the animation looked rather crappy in spots, I thought. I was more impressed by the trailer for the new Spidey-toon. The premise seems neat though and I like the designs.

I seem to recall reading somewhere that the show has no ties to Evolution. But I can see where this might be confusing, considering the character designs.

[Nefarius]

I think that it would be more interesting if the show called "wolverine and his amazing friends".:D

[Titan76]

Jean dieing in the beginning is dumb to me. I mean does Marvel have to kill her in everything? And did anyone else notice how huge Storm's hair is?

I like Wolverine but come on, he is no leader and the music for this trailer suck. I think this is going to be lame just like Evolution was. If they want to promote and hype Wolverine up and focus less on the X-men like this cartoon is probably going to do then just give him his own series already. I love to see one on HBO.

[Erik Lehnsherr]

Wolverine sucks but hopefully they don't screw up Wanda and Pietro's spotlight. Love Rogue being a bad girl again.
