oh yeah I forgot about how badly they treated Betsy.
WatX is definitely ranked last out of all the X-Men animated series (including Pryde of the X-Men) IMO. The best thing about X-Men '97 being around is that there will be no chance for WatX to be rebooted since there's no reason to have two shows in different continuities.
I will say WatX at least gave Psylocke an English accent, Emma had her weird pseudo accent (that has been alluded to in the comics), and I actually did really like the Lorna/Badlands storyline. And I probably would have enjoyed the Age of Apocalypse Season 2 more than Season 1 if it had happened. But seriously, that show made some... choices.
A picture would last longer darling...
Almost every female character aside from Emma was terrible in that show. Storm pretty much replaced Jean as the Fainting Queen, Rogue was whiny, Mistique was written like Silver Fox for some reason, Betsy...don't even get me started.
WatX did the best Kurt ever! Maybe I'm just biased. Though, I also didn't like the whole Jean/Logan/Scott triangle. I thought the whole obvious bias towards Logan immature. But I actually liked the rest of the show and Evolution took more liberties with canon than WatX. I never liked their Kurt.
It would be nice to see Colossus and Betsy as main members of a X-men show for once..
Whatever the next TV incarnation is , I hope they strongly consider it.
The X-Men are literary in Dante's Inferno.

I love this Beast so much.
I was trying to do too much and not doing any of it as well as I could. But I've had a change of mind... though not everyone shall enjoy it. I will.

I liked the show... and would love to see it come back, but I will admit of the big 3 of the "right before Disney" era (Spectacular Spider-Man, Wolverine and the X-Men, Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes) it definitely was the weakest...also don't be a cyclops fan watching that show because....yeesh. The blatant hypocrisy of Logan chewing out Scott for abandoning the team to do something solo when Logan himself hunted his personal demons every couple of episodes didn't help. Though I would be interested in seeing their take on Age of Apocalypse, as I did find their take on the Phoenix Force interesting. Also Emma was great!
Now as for this cartoon revival, I can't believe that I'm considering waking up early for the next episode. It's pretty exciting to have something to look forward to on the air.
