Wolverine and the X-Men

This had potential to be up there with the 90s animated series but it only got 1 season. I wish they brought this back

Wolverine and the X-Men is a really engaging and addictive show and needs someone to take it up for at least a second season.

The premise is that Wolverine must gather the X-Men to correct what caused the downfall into endless war and suffering in the future after an explosion at the institute works really well as a framework for the overall story. Gradually the pieces are put back together and never feels dragged out.

Though Wolverine is the central character to the story we also get a well done character arcs for others like Emma Frost, Jean Grey and Cyclops which all serve the story to perfection.

Though the violence is toned down to make it suitable to younger viewers the writers didn't shy away from keeping the tone rather dark with thrilling action scenes told through smooth and slick animation. Some shots of different places in here look absolutely gorgeous.

And the voice acting is top-notch! Steve Blum does a pretty convincing impersonation of Cathal Dodd from the 90's series and Jim Ward is suitably suiting as Charles Xavier. There are cases of truly powerful acting especially from Nolan North as Cyclops which amazed me.

Wolverine and the X-Men is very underrated in my opinion, because despite its short running time it manages to get on par with the 90's series which many use as a tool for comparison like Batman: the Animated Series is to later incarnations. But this deserves a second season, because such a cliff-hanger ending is begging to get a second season.

A must watch for X-Men fans on par with the 90's series.

What has happened to Marvel TV cartoons?? On the DC side, excellent reimaginings of Batman, Superman and the Justice League have been plentiful with so, so many substandard versions of Spiderman and X-Men based on Manga for Generation 'Teen'. The recent 'Next Avengers - Heroes of Tomorrow' was better but again for a younger audience in my opinion.

I don't need to see a bunch of kids reenact adult X-Men situations where there's no risk. This series bodes much better, feeding off the 80s X-Men series. Yes, there are some serious plot problems having Wolverine lead but they're addressed in the right way where many X-Men don't want to follow him.

Fantastic, and well overdue.

Just finished it. I'm mad I never watched it from start to finish 10 years ago!! Now that it's on Disney+ can we please finally get season 2 and see what destruction Apocalypse brings to the series please and thank you!!!

It's been a few years since the last X-Men animated franchise. It's a bit hard to follow in the footsteps of the original series, and these days, Marvel has improved their quality of work (compare "Daredevil" & "Elektra" to "Ironman" and "The Incredible Hulk"). The only word to describe the series, so far is..."WOW". The animation is quite spectacular and they've integrated a lot of the original characters, people you only had a glimpse of in "X-Men: Evolution", so that the series becomes fun to the people who have been X-Men fans for most of their lives. Even to those who aren't aware of the storyline can have a lot of fun watching this series. The plot develops well, leaves you hanging onto your seat wondering, "Oh Lord, what now!". The characters are reminiscent of the original series, like the voicing and such - you can actually HEAR the difference in their accents and speech patterns. One of the best parts is that because of "X-Men: Evolution" and the live action movies, and we have forgotten that the X-Men were full, mature people, this series puts things back in perspective. They're adults, fully developed in their powers and thrust into our world. You're there, watching and anticipating the next characters to make their appearance. My advice? "You will be surprised." Take a joyride, immerse yourself all over again in the saga, keep the original storyline in the back of your head, but leave your mind open and clear. Because the way this series has started, I don't think anything is impossible....
