So what happened to that new Wolverine/X Men cartoon?

[jaydawg]

Horrorfan is both right and wrong. Ratner captured so many things that Singer failed to. On the other hand, Ratner also got a lot wrong.

Ah Matt, a voice of reason within a gigantic sea of stupidity.

In regards to the topic, a bit of info was released a while ago. Its very much on track, the voices for alot of main characters have been cast. The voice of Wolverine is the same guy who played him in the XML and MUA games, the VA of Batgirl from The Batman is the voice of Kitty. The same guy who is Ghost Rider in MUA and Raphael in the new TMNT movie is Cyclops. I cant think of anything the VA's who are playing Rogue, Angel and Nightcrawler have been in.

It hasnt been sold to a network, but worse comes to worst, Cartoon Network would probably pick it up.

Or maybe Marvel will put it out direct to dvd like they did that 3D Spiderman animated a while back.

''OMG DEY KILLED CYCLOPS!'' Yeah, because he was SO vital to the movies

Actually they killed Cyclops because James Marsden jumped ship with Bryan Singer to go do Superman. Fox wasn't very happy by that.

In fairness, Cyclops got a pathetic role in X2 too, when Marsden didn't have such constraints. Wolverine is the hero of the films. Cyclops needs to be bumped out the way so they can give him centre stage.

That was actually the MTV Spider-man show. The only DTVs Marvel has/are making are The Ultimate Avenger movies, The Invicible Iron Man, Dr.Strange and a Teen Avengers movie.

The title is awful. But hopefully the show will be good, as a lot of good people are involved.

And so far:
Cyclops
Wolverine
Nightcrawler
Angel
Kitty
Rogue

Are the confirmed characters.

get rid of kitty and have iceman and that would be really good. Is it in the evo world or redesigns?

actually I think people were annoyed cyclops was killed cause it was the freaking phoenix saga (well supposed to be) he should have been front and center, yeah he was underused in x2, but the end showed how much he loved jean and set up an x3 where cyclops should have been one of (if not THE) main characters

exactly. He was screwed in X2 so X3 should have put it right not kill him off. They also added so many mutants the characterisation was thin on the ground. Why couldn't the x team be the same as the end of X2- it was perfect!

And really, Marsden doesn't have much presence as an actor. I think in a stronger actor with more presence, the Cyclops character would have been written to be a more fleshed out character.

And really, we don't know why things were done in certain ways. Although we do know that Halle Berry's larger X3 role was because she was being a prima donna and complained that she didn't have enough screen time. Plus she and Singer didn't get along much.

I hope there is more to the team. I need me some Jean Grey. And Colossus would be awesome.

Actually, Angel and Colossus are two of the most popular X-Men who have yet to be on a team in an animated series. So, they did right by giving us Angel this time. But seriously, Colossus is a must, IMO.

Eh, and maybe Storm.

 

[jaydawg]

They've pretty much cast all the key characters on the team in Logan's life, but Jean. I'm sure she'll be in it. Whats an adaptation without some Jean pining?

 

[spidey-dude]

I hope storm isnt in it, she really annoyed me in the 90's show and I've never liked the character since
