We've got two episodes today. The Intro is still a a banger.

This is a continuation of the old series, right? I might start a rewatch from the beginning first

Is this the one where they drew all the women with no asses despite in the original they all had asses?

Rogue's voice is a little too high-pitched and every one of her lines is some sort of really bad country saying. They should pull back a bit on that last part, a little bit for flavor is good but too much and it spoils the whole thing.

I loved the way the got creative with Scott's use of his powers. Using them to move himself (or slow himself down) was something I hadn't seen before.

They've added Bishop and Morph to the permanent roster, apparently.

They tinkered with the theme a little, but not badly.

Overall, it had the definite look and feel of the original and I'm looking forward to their version of what looks to be the Madelyn Pryor story.

Not a bad first episode.

I do hope Scott becomes less cringey. The “come to me, my X-Men” line was just as awful as it was in the teaser.

Bishop ain’t the same without the mullet

Why did they make Gambit and Magneto so effeminate?

Really good. Solid storytelling. Perfectly nostalgic but also improving the narrative quality.

Episode 5 was a gut punch. I don’t really care for cartoons but got me in the feels when Rogue couldn’t feel gambit in the end.

Today's episode was chefs kiss. Lots of cameos. I don't know how the MCU tops this with a live action X-Men.

Nightcrawler is so well written. Really most of the writing is top notch, but Nightcrawler especially.

Interesting choice having a speedo on Magneto while he’s hoisted up lol.

“I gotta talk to Hank about his taste in women.” Lmao

The Nightcrawler, Wolverine moment was dope.

Really great episode and great series. Still can’t believe how good this show is.

Tolerance is Extinction Part 2- My god, they actually did it. I had a feeling it was going to happen but the Mad Lads did it.

This is literally the only thing keeping Marvel and Disney afloat.

Watched and caught up over last few days.

Holy shite! This was (and is) fantastic. Disney will have to break the bank to make a live action even remotely close.

Bastion’s voice acting deserves an Emmy and I’m not exaggerating

Well, looks like this was officially a flop. In retrospect, should have seen this one coming. I really enjoyed the show, but you cannot expect a show geared to 40+ year old guys using a 30+ year old story to have mass appeal. Kids were always the market for animation and comics -- especially young boys. Once, creators lost sight of that, everything went to shite and even good products failed.

This show was written for old nerds like me, and I am thankful it exists. But we are a small niche and not big enough to make a show a success on our own/

At some point, you have to dumb things down a little and jangle some keys to get the mass appeal needed in such a crowded marketplace. Just reality I guess.
