Looks SO good!

 

[Nathan]

Loved every freaking second of it. Except for the fact that Logan seems so important and even Xavier chooses him to lead the team. Other than that, perfect.

 

[ChaoticPsylocke]

awesome! but i cant watch. : (

 

[drew643]

Looks awesome.Also looks like cyclops is getting shafted again.

 

[jmc247]

Great, I am happy to see Lorna there with the rest of the HoM. I can't wait to watch this series.

 

[BMM]

Cool. The cartoon is definitely taking some cues from the movies, as the Magneto voice actor is doing his best to impersonate Ian McKellen. It is weird to watch Xavier turn to Wolverine of all people and with the rest of the team standing right there… but it’s just a cartoon. That said, it’s nice to see Emma Frost (diamond form too) and Gambit in action. There are some nice cameos too—Scarlet Witch, Polaris, Domino, Wolfsbane, Vertigo, Hulk, Shadow King (?), The Reavers, Spiral, Multiple Man, Maverick, Juggernaut, Mojo, etc.

Yeah, possibly. Actually, I saw even less of Storm in the trailer, but they should get their screentime at some point.

That's what irritates me the most actually. I understand the other characters taking a back seat in the movies because Wolverine is FOX's cash cow. But in the cartoon they could actually make the characters accurate like their comic counterparts. Not just copy the movies. Colossus better not have just 3 lines in the entire cartoon.

 

[BMM]

Haha, no kidding. As others have said, I'm hoping that as the show progresses they shift focus away from Wolverine and concentrate on other X-Men as well. In my opinion, it will get boring if it's always about Wolverine.

 

[PJBoy]

Awesome!

 

[SpideyForPrez]

I like that Hulk was there. As this show goes on maybe we'll see more more Marvel cameos. So this show's gonna be on Nickelodeon right?

 

[Angamb]

What a long trailer! They almost show the full first season, hahahaha.

 

[@JeanGrey]

Animation is nice, I liked the fact that so many characters are going to appear on the show.

I love Beast's appearance, Wanda yay ,Dust, Gambit and many others.

Rogue's role is a questionmark.

But it was bad to see Xavier turning to Wolverine for leadership with Cyclops sanding right next to Wolverine, Storm so week and Gambit being just a guest star...

The best is to wait and see

 

[CaptainCanada]

Professor Zordon, er, Xavier, majorly disses Cyclops; that's what he gets for being emo, I suppose.

Love, love, love the presence of Emma and all the minor characters; Polaris and Dust, especially.

We've got Magneto-ruled Genosha, Days of Future Past, Weapon X, Wolverine vs. Hulk...looking like good times ahead.

 

[Angamb]

who is the new guy of the team?

 

[Primal Slayer]

looks good. and it seems like Storm wont be joining the xmen when they first regroup. I like everyones charecter designs except for Storm and Cyclops.

 

[Angamb]

I like Scott. about Emma.... I think it could be better, at least, sexier, he.

 

[BETArayBill]

hulk vs. wolverine nuff said

 

[Dread]

I was sort of amused that the trailer had just about all of the footage from the last trailer, just without any music from any rock bands. Guess Marvel learned it isn't nice to use without asking. The music for the series sounds good.

In some ways this 3-4 minute trailer goes over episodes worth of material. Part of me wonders if it was wise. I mean, it already explains that Xavier lived and where he wound up, utterly eliminating the cliffhanger from the "bombing" scene. I mean, hey, they COULD have killed him off. X3 did. Sort of.

My biggest concern is the same one I have had since the planning stage; Wolverine leading the X-Men and EVERYONE being happy about it. Even Xavier himself seems to approve, as if forgetting Scott was his first recruit. Wolverine-Worship has been a double edged sword to the X-Men franchise. There are some, and with valid reason, who claim that the X-Franchise owes a lot to Wolverine. The 90's were a shaky era especially with Marvel in the red for more than half of the decade, and Wolverine as the lynchpin helped maintain sales until Morrison and the movies. Some naturally felt that Wolverine starring in the films from the onset was a mistake, but X-MEN was written in 1998-1999 when Marvel was bankrupt and probably felt, best to focus on the one star much of the public knows. It was a strategy that led to a successful trilogy of films and merchandise. Wolverine remains the franchise's most popular character and considering the back-seat he took in much of X-MEN EVOLUTION from 2000-2003, some feel it is "his due".

The other side of the argument, of course, mostly comes from more well-rounded X-fans or the poor fans of other X-characters besides Wolverine who feel focus on him has cheated others of the spotlight. Lord knows Colossus has paid a heavy price for not being an anti-hero, as it looks even here he will be reduced to random cameo appearances. They also are irked about the movies and whatnot, or feel Wolverine has been the focus of the X-Men for a good generation of time and needs a rest. Or they simply resent the idea that Wolverine would complete his utter domination of the X-Men franchise by leading it, despite how other characters may feel about it. For instance, Angel used to resent Wolverine for quite a while in the comics. Xavier usually supposed Scott. Even Storm has had long tenures leading the squad.

To me, Wolverine works best as that rebel, the one on the team who questioned authority somewhat. Even when he "calmed down" he had that tension with Cyclops, that nerve to say when he disagreed with an order, or who occasionally did his own thing. Being a leader takes that away. It puts him in default hero mode.

But, lamenting about all that is moot. This is the direction of the show and that is that. The title reminds me of SPIDER-MAN AND HIS AMAZING FRIENDS in that it sounds almost like a circus act.

Naturally this show looks like a fusion of the comics and the films, and seems to introduce a few mutants who never had a large role in cartoons before, like Emma Frost (merely a rogue in the 90's) to Domino. It has a hefty animation budget and promises a lot of action and moody tension.

I hate Cyclops' design. I know it simply is his Cassaday suit with a trenchcoat, but I felt the skull-cap always looked silly on him, and it looks sillier with a trench. I guess they figured the visor wasn't enough to make him stand out next to Gambit (who looks cool). Logan & Cyclops seem to be switching roles here; Logan as the leader and Cyclops as the grim loner rebel. I really doubt it will work to Scott's favor, but it at least is something new.

It still looks promising, moreso than I thought when the first promo art started hitting the Internet, and frankly, if it is only half as good as Marvel's other new cartoon, SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN, then it will still be watchable.

Basically, X-Men fans who enjoyed seeing the franchise without Wolverine being depicted as it's only worthwhile character and even savior, will have to be content with hunting down EVOLUTION DVD's and bootlegs of the last season (which was never commercially released by WB and probably never will at this stage). If you're willing to look past the premise, or if you're one of the Wolverine-Worshippers, then this should be good for you.

 

[Sawyer]

WOW. Genosha, Sentinels, Emma Frost, Days of Future Past and references to Weapon X? All good...

 

[Angamb]

I think X4 will take some ideas from this series.

Time will tell.

 

[Primal Slayer]

I like Scott. about Emma.... I think it could be better, at least, sexier, he.

really? I think Emma looks good enough. They couldve made Storm better looking, less big hair and make her look more tough or 90s animated Storm.

 

[Sawyer]

The only thing wierd about Emma is her accent. I was always under the impression that she was English...

 

[the a1ant]

Magneto sounds just like Ian McKellen to me, lol.

Awesome trailer! I'm glad to see Emma (my fave character over Storm).

"You Logan, you must lead them." is weird though, and it's cool they even added 'Dust' too. I've never seen so many X-Men characters in one show before...and that's just from who they showed in the trailer

 

[ChaoticPsylocke]

i want some dazzler and lila cheney!
