Wolverine and Le X-Men

arcath

New from some french animations studio I have never heard of comes.....



http://www.cyber-animation.com/wolverine/wolverine.htm <---Clicky Clicky.

Click this for a working trailer.

Well I see Emma in the poster, and they kill jean in the first 10 seconds of the trailer.

Yay!

No, really. YAY!

Now get this.....This is supposedly marketed for 6-12 year olds. SIX YEAR OLDS. Look at that trailer and tell me that should be for your six year old.

Charles Xavier leaves behind a mangled smoldering wheelchair!! Jean Grey vanishes!! Domino hangs by her knees!! Forge gets tortured!! Rogue goes rogue!! My girl pulls a helicopter through a wall!!

oh...and the foo fighters in the trailer rocks.

"Your sons a mutant. Deal with it."

"Good talk..."

This trailer looks really good. I just hope the final product delivers.

Malkor

This looks OK. The voices!

valiance

This.. actually seems ok. I'm kinda excited about it but there are little things that irk me, and I'm not sure what they are yet. I did like the "good talk" that definitely seems true to the X-men.

DJ Eebs

It looks pretty promising so far. Establishing an ongoing conflict right up front that's not directly ripped from the comics is a good sign, and it doesn't seem anymore dark than the 90s X-Men cartoon, and that was marketed towards kids of about that age range.

Malkor

My favorite moment in the 90s version was Morph dying, then Morph coming back all mind-fucked. Not as dark as Batman, but it still sticks out in my mind.

The animation kinda resembles X Men Evolution.

Accualt

Okay that actually looked good.
Which scares me because the cover has Cyclops in a trench and the name is

WOLVERINE
& his supporting cast

But, well, I guess at least they are being upfront about the show being a Wolverine sploogefest.

arcath

yeah, but come on.

My girl flew a helicopter through a fucking building.

Reigner

It' looks promising, but I have issues with the VO work. It's seems like the voices, are completely detached from the character who's suppose to be speaking. Maybe it's because I'm so use to the 90's VO, and that Evolution's VO seemed like a good fit.

Spike Spiegal as Wolverine doesn't sit right with me. Space Cowboy =/= Feral killing machine

Calamity Jane

Naw, he works for the part. Man, the original voice actor for Wolverine got that shit dead on, though.

Servo

i think that trenchcoat really works with that cyclops outfit, actually. it makes the cowl look like it's not fucking stupid, which is the problem i normally have with it.

edit- maybe it's gambit wearing cyclops' hat?

Balefuego

I like Cyclops with the open hair cowl

90s style, if you will

Servo

fuck yeah man

that's the way he should look. i fucking love that 90s outfit. best 90s costume ever.

Caveman Paws

Cyclops with exposed hair/head = superior. I don't mind the head condom look if it's drawn by certain artists but overall it's pretty dorky.

Blankspace

I think it looks really promising so far.

I don't mind the WOLVERINE and The X-Men, because it looks like while Wolverine is the star, the rest of the X-Crew are going to have very big parts.

Plus, you can't deny slapping Wolverine on something will help it sell better.

Gaine

This looks pretty good. Only people not in the trailer that were in the poster are Nightcrawler and Emma. Definitely looking forward to more. I like the running theme of "Hell yeah you guys got the band back together!"

"Well..."

Garlic Bread

i think this looks awesome and will hopefully be able to wake up in the morning to watch it

delphinus

written by the guy who wrote mask of the phantasm BTW

Bucketman

So is this one of the Direct to DvD movie deals?

Also some parts definately made me chuckle.

Like when Angel says the line about the X-men being together, and Beast says "Well...kind of...where working on that" Then give a big smile. Laughed really hard.

Also where was magnetio? It looked like Quicksilver was leading the Brotherhood.

Nope, new TV Series.

I imagine Magneto will show up later on and then Charles will make a triumphant return

ohh even better. A quick look at Wiki says that there is no idea when it will air and I don't see it mention a channel either. I hope it dosen't get thrown on the Kids WB.

Blankspace

Well Magneto has a voice actor linked to him, so it's safe to say he will be appearing.

arcath

if you look at the website, this is being released in france from the looks of it.

Hope I am wrong though.

Mr Pink

I'm excited for Domino.

Accualt

90's Cyclops is certainly the best costume he's had.
I like his current one well enough but it could use...something. Maybe he just needs hair.

And does this make Wolverine the HEART of the X-Men? It actually works, he'd be the one most attached to keepign the group together since it is the only family he's ever really known. Where as Scott is pretty much devastated because his father-figure and wife were both killed in front of him and the other X-Men in the trailer all have other lives outside of the big X.

I don't know. I like the new astonishing condom look (right). I don't like the old condom look with the flared gloves and boots(left).

But yeah, when I think of Cyke, I think old 90s costume.

Brolo

Man, skin-tight vein-revealing spandex as a protective suit.

That's just where the company is based.

if you look at the website in my OP, it says French TV Distribution @ 26 half-hour episodes.

Arikado

I read something about this a while back about how it would be aired on MTV or something. However, seeing how the Spiderman show went, I think it might be aired on some other channel in the US.

IMDB has some cast info here.

DJ Eebs

So the Foo Figher's are suing Marvel over the trailer for this.

Here's the link.

Bloods End

i love cykes 90's suit but the yellow underwear never did make much sense.

DouglasDanger

The 90s costume is bad. It was designed by Jim Lee I think. Usually drawn with outlandish statue-esque proportions and the blue stuff looking like body paint. And the pouches. What the hell is the point of those pouches? Storing spare visor lenses and steroid syringes?

Bloods End

Hey

Hey

Shut it.

That costume was awesome and you know it.

Accualt

The pouches probably held the contents of a field medic box.
It isn't like he had Cable level of pouches, these were reasonable.

I mean, I haven't read X-men in a while, and I am far from a Cyclops fan, but he'd have to be pretty stupid to NOT walk around with some spares.


Or at least like, those ruby quartz shades he is sometimes shown wearing in other media.


cause how easy must it be to break quartz when you're dealing with powerful, antagonistic mutants or other things that can bend steel and whatnot.

hey man, when you're getting dragged into star battles with space pirates and sewer massacres with packs of grim freaks all the time, you need a place to store your dramamine and romance novels.

David Lucas is an amazing voice actor, but he gets cast too much. He dosen't sound old enough to be Wolverine at all.

arcath

he has played wolverine in alot of different things.

he must be doing something right.

HadjiQuest

Any alt source for that trailer? I've been waiting for news on this forever, and I didn't get to see it before the foo fighters took it down.

Also, is that new Spider-Man show on the air yet? Is it any good?

The 90s X-Men cartoon is probably my favorite childhood toon, even beating out Batman:TAS by a notch.

David Lucas?
Fake Ninja Edit: OH! After some googling turns out that's a name Stephen Blum uses.
Neat.
