There have been a lot of rumours about a potential new X-Men animated series to be released at Disney+ with some connection to the 90s animated series. In the last week Marvel has used this new images and some people are wondering if this could be the looks for the series?

Too 90's.
They should take a leaf out of Dawn of X especially for Cyclops, Giant Size Jean, Storm, Rogue etc

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of 90s designs. I'd rather something like Dawn of X (but Jean in the Giant Size outfit)

Agree with you, people need to stop living in the past. Just because it worked in one era doesn't mean it'll work again.

Yes, let it go. You can never get childhood back again. It won't be the same and things shouldn't try to be the same. People need to let go. It's ok for new things to happen.

Time for a new look. Not into unearthed time capsules masquerading as reboots.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

If Marvel is smart, they will try to capitalize on nostalgia and appeal to the 90's animated series audience. A *lot* of these 30-somethings are now parents of their own children that they'd likely want to watch a new cartoon based on the 90's one with.

Let's not forget Wolverine and the X-Men which tried to distance itself from TAS and suffered for it with only one season.

I agree with you. But not for the reasons you stated. I think that if Disney is smart, they will capitalize on a time when the X-Men were heroes who bravely lived in a world that hated them. Not the entitled petulance that the X books have turned into.
As for the tone of the cartoons, It depends on the W&TXM was a bit more adult in tone, in that it had a complex narrative and one plot point got transferred to other episodes. So you had to pay attention. It wasn't just a mindless cartoon where you had to turn your brains off. That being said it was the TAS that got me into the X-Men.

I was never a 'child' when I started reading the X-Men or when I started collecting comic books for that matter. I was in university.

TAS is the reason I got into the X-Men, and I wouldn't mind seeing a cartoon that reflected that time. When the X-Men knew how to stand on their own two feet bravely dealt with the hardships and ugliness of life --which is what a hero does. As opposed to the persecution complex/victim mentality that are in the books now. Honestly we don't need a show that perpetuates entitlement. We have enough of that in society as it is. We have a hard time as it is keeping Covid-19 numbers down. Because people think it's a hardship to stay home with their kids.

Had they got a season 2 the looks would have been 90's inspired as well.

[Glio]

Wolverine and the X-Men had many factors against it and the suits were definitely not one of them. X-Men Evolution was much more successful and looked much less like the 90's.

Evo is a fantastic example of how to approach developing a new adaptation of series or property. Drastic alteration to style/aesthetic where necessary or interesting without drastic alteration to characterization. Diehard fans can recognize bits of what they love while more casual or younger viewers recognize bits of what appeals to them.

I genuinely don't see the appeal of a TAS reboot, even if its presented under the guise of something new. both parties are just gonna end up disappointed lol. It just couldn't exist and thrive the way it did outside its window of existence

I think for some quick new xmen content this is perfectly fine.

Eventually I would prefer a brand new series from lineup to costumes. But I also know that would take more time
In order to be quality. So for now, sure, Bring on a TAS sequel / similar show.

I don't get the people saying that they're bad just because they're nostalgic.

The 90s designs were the ones they sued when the X-men were at their absolute peak of popularity. They're the ones that people only vaguely familiar with the characters would know. It makes sense to use those designs (or at least slight tweaks of them.)

Having said that, I think they could use a bit more tweaking. I really think Storm's design is a bit too busy and the X in the middle of Jean's chest looks out of place.

[9th.]

It's ok I guess but I'd prefer more updated looks.

The classics are usually the best.
