    the thing I don't like about the Japanese opening is that the animation is so much radder that, when you actually see the show, it's depressing.

    That looked amazingly 80s.

    Like, distilled 80s action cartoon.

    I think the '90s had the worst superhero outfits ever. Why would Sabretooth even wear a costume?

    And I've always had suspicions that Jubilee's dad only sent her away because of what she did to the VCR.

    Which episodes of the '90s X-Men series were the good ones? I can barely remember them.

    Lets be honest though, that was Sabertooths costume for a long time, until marvel wised up.

    OH MAN! ... LMFAO!!!. I finally saw the japanese intro, i love how awsome the intro is but what really makes me laugh is like, Cable keeps poping into the intro just shooting his guns and hes in the entire series for like maybe 2 or 3 episodes.

    yeah, that jap intro was pretty fuckin' rad.

    i dug the original series, though. it doesn't have the lasting power that actually good cartoons like batman:tas has, but as a kid it rocked.

    edit: in pryde of the x-men, i loved wolvie's aussie voice.

    Ok the 90's cartoon was sweet at the time but has lost some flavor. I re-watched them a year ago and it just wasn't as good. Also I'm so glad I just saw that Japanese intro. It made my day. I'm just wondering how Magneto summoned a bunch of monsters. That part is kind of confusing. Also the Spider-Man cartoon is excellent. Has anyone watched that recently? Is it still good?

    The 90's Spider-Man is horrible. Even as a kid I thought it looked worse than X-Men which I think still looks pretty good. Plus Parker's look always confused the fuck outta me. He looks like a linebacker with poofy little boy hair.

    I had really high hopes for MTV Spider-Man. If they would have stuck with it being a animated Ultimate Spider-Man it would have been awesome but nooo the movies had to come along. MTV Spidey was animated very well. He swung and moved just like comic Spider-Man and the way they used his eyes I think is a great idea for when Spidey is animated. Too bad the stories sucked ass.

    This new Spectacular Spider-Man has the right idea but his face looks like a cheap Chinese toy rip off. Just steal Bagley's 90's art and make it move and call it a day.

    The best part of the 90's X-Men and Spider-Man cartoons was spotting all the reused animation sequences... until Spider-Man started to reuse long sequences in EVERY EPISODE.


    I bet you could make it into a pretty fun drinking game, though.

    Spider-man was actually good though.

    Especially when the X-Men showed up.
    And Pete was all "*Science*"
    And Beast was all "Oh snap, I forgot you're smart."

    Didn't Marvel VS Capcom/Xmen VS Street Fighter/etc. have the same voice actors as the cartoons?

    I swear Wolverine's was the exact same.

    I loved the X-Men series as a kid. But I'm afraid that it made me biased against Jubilee for all of time. Unless she's also whiny in the comics and has no real powers except to illuminate the room with pretty colors. Why did Wolverine look out after Jubillee? Why didn't he just cut her head off after one of her complaining fits? The mind reels.

    That's pretty much always been Jubilee's role.

    The movie basically gave Rogue her role.

    Jubes has got a lot more interesting since she got depowered.

    Edit: Jubilee was an Iceman-style character. She had the ability to detonate matter at a molecular level or somesuch, which basically means she could blow up anything just by looking at it. But she was mentally blocking herself out of fear of that much power.

    Obviously, now she doesn't need to worry about that.

    Wait, so what happened to her powers? Now I wish I'd kept up.

    I haven't read an X Men comic in like ten years, give or take.

    And she's recently joined the New New Warriors, which is made up apparently entirely of depowered mutants using tech-based powers. Now she's going by Wondra and has superstrength.

    I absolutely loved the 90's X-Men. It is the pinnacle of Marvel animation. They just nailed every single character, Wolverine was actually short! Hell I even remember they did a pretty good version of the Dark Phoenix Saga.
    If only Disney would release a DVD box set I would be all over it.

    We've talked about that before, and I think the consensus was the only good part of that movie was Jubilee's topless scene.
