Disney+ Reportedly Reviving X-Men: The Animated Series

[Spiderfan001]

I mean, it's obviously a nostalgia cash-grab, but maybe that's just what X-Men is now.

Damn

I'm excited for it, but need more details

This is being made by Marvel Studios.

That’s not too reassuring as I found What If to be pretty lackluster, save for a few episodes of course.

By "animation" I meant cartoons in general.

Damn

Follow-up article says production starts in 2023.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....

[Rift]

Again, this is made by Marvel Studios, no connection to those other shows.

I know. But Marvel's extended media is big on making decisions I'm not a fan of. Even if it's not connected to those shows, they're very likely going to have many of the same trappings.

[Purplevit]

Very cool! Excited for this.

[Frontier]

That’s not too reassuring as I found What If to be pretty lackluster, save for a few episodes of course.

I'm assuming this will have different writers and not have the same plot issues as What If did. Especially since it won't have to tie-in to the MCU.

The source is credible. Very surprised that this is happening.

Edit: okay so the way it was reported by other people online was very deceptive as apparently it is a X-Men animated series, but only may be the 90s one.

I refuse to get my hopes up too much, given how many rumors like this have failed to pan out.

But even if it turns out to be true, I still have reservations. Marvel's track record with animation has been terrible since they cancelled Wolverine and the X-Men and Avengers EMH. Every show they've put out has been so bland and uninspiring. I would love to see them turn it around. But I just don't want to see their current track record undermine the X-Men.

[AJpyro]

As long as its not in the vein of Thundercats Roar or TTG, I'm down.

[jmc247]

The past decade of Marvel animated shows have been awful. Time and again they go for too youthful a demographic and in the end even the kids don’t like their shows.

The last animated things Marvel had worth watching were Avengers EMH and Wolverine and the X-Men both pre-Disney buy out.

[Soulsword323]

This is so conflicting.

I'm always going to consume X-Men content, but I honestly wanted something more fresh. Have a lot of love and respect for the creatives behind TAS, but I don't think we need a continuation.

Hopefully this avoids some of the pitfalls of the original run.

It's not the 90's cartoon, it'll be an unrelated cartoon.

Oh well, I didn't really like WATXM, so I hope it's better than that at least lol.

Also hope it avoids this shit of making universes inter connected leading to pointless crossovers, while I don't mind universe being shared, each setting needs to have its own world to be interesting, and X-Men definitely has more than enough nonsense to not need anyone else's nonsense.

[Jackraow21]

It’s X-men content, so I’m there. Personally I’m hoping for a continuation of the X-men 90s series, but with some time having passed… perhaps even opening with the move to Krakoa from the school that we saw in House of X #1, adapting HoX — with flash forwards to the PoX timeline and Moira’s different lives — as the first five episode story arc to kick it off.

Ditto. I get why people still look at it fondly, but to me X-Men Evolution is the best out of the three adaptions we have.

Agreed. I think Evo has aged the best by far

[Devaishwarya]

Same. I’m in the minority who doesn’t consider the X-Men animated series to be that great and has aged badly over time.

As someone who only read X-Men at the time, I absolutely hated it. I still think it is absolute garbage and unlike anything I was actually reading in the comics.

[jmc247]

I have a great deal of respect for the creative team. We don't know what this is yet and we don't even know what will happen from this, but I am not in for TAS 2.0 or one or two more seasons added to the end. I will re-read my 90s comics or watch TAS if I want 90s nostalgia.
