X-Men: The Animated Series

X-Men, also known as X-Men: The Animated Series, is a Canadian-American animated television series which debuted on October 31, 1992 in the United States on the Fox Network, as part of its Fox Kids Saturday morning lineup. X-Men was Marvel Comics' second attempt at an animated X-Men TV series after a 1989 pilot, Pryde of the X-Men, was not picked up.

The series is currently available on the Disney+ streaming service, and a revival titled X-Men '97 is set to be released on the service in 2023.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) It was the first extremely successful Marvel cartoon, and it paved the way for many more well-received shows to come.
 * 2) Awesome theme songs in both the original US version and the Japanese dub.
 * 3) Likable heroes such as Wolverine, Professor X, Cyclops, Storm, Rogue and Gambit.
 * 4) Awesome villains such as Magneto, Mystique, Mister Sinister, Sabretooth, Omega Red and Apocalypse.
 * 5) Extremely faithful to the source material, adapting several storylines from the comics such as "Days of Future Past", "Weapon X", "The Legacy Virus" and "The Dark Phoenix Saga".
 * 6) It had a crossover with Spider-Man: The Animated Series.
 * 7) Deadpool makes a cameo appearance in one episode.
 * 8) Exciting action scenes.
 * 9) The first Marvel cartoon to have darker and more complex storylines, as previous Marvel shows were much more comedic.
 * 10) Great voice acting.
 * 11) The character designs are lifted straight from the comics.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Villains like Juggernaut and the Friends of Humanity are underused, while Magneto is very overused.
 * 2) Kitty Pryde, who appeared in the aforementioned 1989 pilot, isn't even mentioned in the show.
 * 3) Wolverine never uses his claws, except on robots. This is due to Fox heavily censoring the show, similar to Spider-Man: The Animated Series.
 * 4) A few plot holes, like Angel being shown in flashbacks later on in the series at Xavier Academy, as he was one of the original team members in the comics. However, in his debut episode, he doesn't seem to know any of the team.
