That one was my favorite, so my interests in a revival of that are pretty subjective.
I guess the thing with '90s cartoon is I don't really "get" why it's such a sacred cow, much less the only one that Marvel keeps alive (I mean, they had that "making of" book awhile back, a comic book continuation, and now the revival, which is more than any of the others have gotten). I will concede that I've never watched the whole thing through, but the production values and acting aren't that good. I guess you can argue that it tried to do mature storytelling, but it all falls flat when you consider that it was a contemporary of the original Batman cartoon, which did all those things better (as in having aged extremely well and still regarded as a legitimate classic).
I love stuff that's probably objectively not that "good," so I do get why it has its fans and I hope they get something that's well-made with the revival, but I guess I don't appreciate how it's overshadowed its successors that (IMHO) were better made and I question if the franchise should be getting something new that could capitalize on how the X-Men franchise has evolved in the years since the cartoon went off the air. Not sure if any of that makes sense, but there it is.
