There have been three different X-Men cartoons that I know of: the cartoon from the late 80's, the Saban series on Fox, and Evolution from a few years ago. Did anybody have any particular favorite/crappy opinions on any?
I own a VHS copy of Pryde of the X-Men, which I really need to dig out and watch again (it's probably been 8 years since I've watched it). Sigh...Australian Wolverine...
90's X-Men is when I actually started reading comics, and this series helped me get into it. The great thing about this cartoon is it could give newbies to the X-Men universe condensed versions of classic X-stories and make transition to reading the comics easier. I liked both of the Phoenix sagas (including Wolverine getting to kick some ass!). Some differences in character's origins and appearances of the comic and cartoon were confusing to me when I started reading, but I eventually got caught up on them.
I haven't watched a lot of X-Men Evolution because I could never figure out when it was on. One thing I just never liked about the series was how there were only two or three X-Men were adults and all the rest were teens. I liked how toward the end of the series that all of the X-Men and the Brotherhood had to work together and defeat Apocalypse's Four Horsemen, comprised of Xavier, Magneto, Mystique,and...I don't remember who. Mystique's shapeshifting powers were amped up to where she morphed into a flock of bats (or birds...something that flew, I dunno).
