Hey, as long he's got a couple of smooth criminals "down unda", I'm ok with it.

Why.... did they make Wolverine Australian, when they already had a well established Aussie? Pyro!

wait? originally released today? yay!

I was thinking the same thing.

Neil Ross voiced Wolverine, not Michael Bell.

FORESHADOWING!

Seems like a precedent has been set.

I always thought that Scott McNeil would be a great voice actor for Wolverine. But now knowing the history of the character on screen and in the comics... ...Dang! He's perfect!

And they are great at giving Wolverine his voice. I'm not going to argue about that.

I prefer Cal Dodd's Wolverine myself.

I remember hearing about that court case. Proof that money will always be more important than story elements and plot points for Marvel in the long run!

Mixed? I take all of this combined with the contradictory attitudes held against mutants vs. other super powered beings to mean that Marvel hates Mutants.

They would have to be human, mutants and humans can interbreed and produce fertility children, if they weren't human that wouldn't be possible.

True, but in comics humans and aliens can produce children, because comic book science.

The X-Men never considered hiring a PR firm. They are very good at fighting people, just not at the whole "Promoting human-mutant peace" bit.

Well, Kitty did not kill anyone, so she already takes her powers better then Wolverine did, even if he doesn't know it.

@That Hippie Gamer He means that someone one day will post that completely out of context

...How the hell could Kitty's family not know where she is?

That's a very good question. Maybe she ran away.

Because she didn't tell them. There, easy.

She only said that her parents don't know about her powers, not that they didn't know where she was at the moment. They would have come up with a plausible explanation for her absence if the show had come to fruition.

Funnily enough a similar plot happened to this in Evolution only with Mystique instead of Magneto unleashing Juggernaut and Kitty being with the other cast members away at a camp.

He is basically, the rapey skunk cartoon character. That was the personality that they gave him.

@@davidbauler3159 Had the show been greenlit, he would've had his character development.

He comes off as a Creep from the start, because he's not really had much of a Culture around people like that... I mean he's been bullied, considered a Circus freak, & other things, o_@ His only friend is the Church, ~_~ When he first sees her, as a newbie, he feels she is like him, & wants to give her a warm welcome, but as she gets freaked out, he comes off as a creep... But she later likes him... So To me? He is still in character in here as Pryde Of The X-Men as he has always been for all those years after the Pilot, o_@ No?

Ya, except... Hugh did all his research on the wrong Criteria when he stared in the first Movie, o_@

@@KenyoMurabu At least David Hayter was around to help. ............Yeah no really he was like writing staff on one or two of those in between Solid Snake recordings.

@@UltimaKeyMasteron one AND two… shame he wasn’t around for 3

Nostalgia Critic: I love it! It'll confuse the enemy!

Xavier isn't a Brit. He's a New Yorker by birth. The Xavier School is literally his ancestral mansion.

@@RabblesTheBinx I was referring to Toad.

@@ebwarg right, I realized that afterwards, but you'd already responded. I legitimately forgot that Toad is English.

@@ebwarg wait, Toad is British?

I always heard the line was "this is -their- day", myself.

I allways got, "it's their day"

to me it sounds like missed the day

Same here.

Yeah, but is the part afterwads? "X-Men, coming yodla-eee-dee"

Earl Boen's Magneto wasn't too bad, either. If only Linda Hamilton were there to break his arm.

I remember that too. It came out when I was In junior high. I also was understandably irate when the series came out because it was NOTHING like the pilot. But the series was pretty damn good. As for the pilot, I LOVED hearing those classic voices! Other than the Canadian hero having an Australian accent, I LOVED it.

From what I heard, Marvel did one less RoboCop episode (one of the many shows it did back then) and used that money to put together a TV pilot that would appeal to TV networks first and fans second.

I wonder if that love had anything to do with "man, that cartoon was cool, now let's go to the arcade to play the video game of it!" Big ole social event around this one pilot, which is a wild concept to think of. I can only imagine how Shadows of the Empire would've been if it also had some form of cartoon to go along with the comic line and game.

Why did you make Wolverine Orange?

Yeah. MONEY!!

at least the one at the end is intentionally weird

The one at the end looks well animated and drawn, yet there's a lack of detail in some areas that takes me out of it.

To be honest, the ad at the end looked like an ad for someone's fetish cartoons, which...this seems like not the most appropriate place to advertise that.

ah so then the plot convenience fairy just said screw it okie dokie.

apparently his helmet didn't protect him from Xaviers telekenetic powers originally, thats a more recent thing in comics. not sure why he had the helmet to begin with if it didn't protect him like that but I'm going by what I've been told/read

In the comics, it was Juggernaut's helmet that had that ability, not Magneto's.

@@gRinchY-op5vr magneto's helmet didn't grant protection from telepathy until the first movie in 2000. Up until then, Juggernaut's helmet was the only one that did that. Magneto wore a helmet...because he liked it.

Even the female one?

Jack O Brien ...That might be kinda funny, actually. Have them both be Aussies.

This was BEFORE it was established that Magneto's helmet served as a defense against telepathy. Before that, Magneto and Xavier had numerous spur-of-the-moment mental conversations.

2wingo Oh, okay. Like I said, I'm only casually into X-men lore.

In the comics, it's actually Juggernaut's helmet that blocks Charles.

Where's that DAMN fourth Infinity Stone!?

Looks like levitation too. ...and much later the comics would jump on the bandwagon of giving Emma additional powers by making her expensive-colossus.

Emma Frost is a Telepath... oO I believe those Physonic Blasts she does is from Telepathy, that gives her power to bring thought into a Physical Form, making her able to do things that can hurt people, oO As well as make people believe they are seeing things that really aren't there... oO And she can Fly, I guess, too... But in the so called Telepathy realm, she could do that anyways, oO I don't know much of anything to do with any form of Glass or Ice Shards or whatever as a form of Encasing her into a Mold of Egg or Hardened Substance... But I believe people call it her Diamond Form? No? I until Wolverine the movie came out, had never even heard of that before, & thought it made her a weak character, & felt she was much better portayed in Pryde Of The X-Men then any other media, oO

@@KenyoMurabu Man what are you talking about? Emma's diamond form was a secondary mutation she developed after Cassandra Nova experimented on her. And likewise it was always a sort of interesting power, because while it makes her relatively invulnerable physically, but what it doesn't do is make her much stronger physically while also coming at the expense of shutting down both her telepathy and her emotions. Considering how massively powerful she is, diamond form tends to be something she does when she literally just needs to not deal with whatever it is or needs a unbreakable psychic defense against inhuman or possession foes. And it doesn't encase anything, all of her body's tissues change into a crystalline structure. She becomes a literal human shaped diamond.

And on an unrelated note..the pilot then had Cyclops and Emma Frost paired off in a fight.

Yeah I agree, I think they had some confusion about the accents, also Nightcrawler didn't sound German, he had a French accent!

Speculative Dude Reviews Even when he said "Liebchen?"

Speculative Dude Reviews Okay, I take it back, he does sound more French, despite the smatterings of German.

On a related note, isn't Pyro supposed to be Australian? Would it have been so hard to have two guys fake OZ accents in this production?

Because Trump vs Hilary.

Today is us national voter reminder day.

I'm *ALWAYS* bitter about Sailor Moon Crystal Season I and II. Season III was actually very enjoyable (sorry for repost, messed up getting the reply right)

I guess you could say... the show's problems were CRYSTAL clear from the start?

@@kingofthegundam7974 *clutches bridge of nose, sighs*

PSA Spidey is really just another clone. I'm sure somewhere they have like 23 comics dedicated to him before he dropped out of existence.

***** I think the laugh at the beginning of the PSA was Morlun..and then he got sick with the constant spinning.

Morlun got rid of him

Yeah, but this is only one episode. I doubt it would have looked like this consistently if it had been picked up.

I was digging the artwork too. I thought everyone looked excellent.

It was a pilot, they had to put Maximum Effort.

That's because Akom was a much weaker studio than Toei. They couldn't do superhero animation very well.

The sad thing is that Toei sucks so unimaginably hard today. So cheap. So, so, so, so cheap.

I thought it said "leads the way!"

I thought it was "Make my way".

I only hear "yesterday!"

I heard "Fish of the Day".

I heard, "X-MEEEN! Seize the day!"

He doesn't. He's off on his own separate universe.

With Blackjack and Hookers

Yeah, it's better!

No.

Well, I happily would’ve traded Jean Grey and Jubilee for a regular Colossus and Nightcrawler.

Atleast we didn't have a Jean who faint every five minutes

Too bad 'X-Men's animation didn't age well. 'Pryde's animation aged much better.

Eamonn Deane I also recommend season 2 of the 90's 'Fantastic Four' Much better animation than Akom, and WAY better than it's first season.

Yee

That would have been terrible for a Name, o_@ People need to stop & get a grip on reality... First of all? You don't have to have a Voice of another Country to play a Part... Think? America has many, many different types of Voices & cultures, & accents in it... Claiming that an Australian can't be the voice of someone who lives somewhere else? Is like saying an Italian can't live in Japan, because of their color or the way they speak, o_@ or that an Italian can't be part Japanese? or that a Japanese can't speak fluid Italian without an Asian Accent... This is why, I think it's stupid when people get upset about a Color or nationality or voices or accents, or the way someone looks in a Live Action, ~_~ To me, it doesn't matter, just as long as they do the part good, & they actually look like what their suppose to look like... After that, I can care less if they are not of the same race, or culture... ~_~ I mean, we are asking actors, people who act as if they were someone they were not, to play a part of a character, & we ask them to do the part how we feel they should do it... We are not looking for Logan from the Comics to play himself, because he in the real world does not exist, lOl… When it comes to Bashing Actors for portrayals of Characters, & their White Washing, or whatever it is they call it now... They need to remember, these Characters do not exist in the real world we live in, so stop fussing over trying to find them, lOl...

KenyoMurabu not to mention quoll would have been a better name

We're do wolverines live?

dark souls around Siberia, the Nordic countries and Canada/ Alaska.

Yeah that always puzzles me when kid shows tell you to do adult things

Kitty Pryde is not only my favorite member of the X-Men, but also my second-favorite comic book superhero of all-time (number one is Spider-Man)!

Isn't Magneto Jewish, or was that just something invented by the movies?

Wonder how he would deal with someone like red skull or hydra who are all intents and purposes are Nazis.

The twin retcon is so stupid. Yeah, just throw away decades of storylines and character building out of spite.

Well at least they weren't turned into Nazis.

Makes you wonder if in the X-Men arcade game, all the kids ran toward the ones they know and the one who gets there last goes "awwwwwww maaaaaaaaaaan, I'm stuck with DAZZLER."

Demon bear spirit turning people into Native Americans? Finally, my fetish is represented!

Xavier has allowed normal humans to work at the school. Provided of course they don't hold an hidden prejudice toward mutants. On of the more recent examples is Anna. A nurse who worked at Xavier's and had a brief relationship with Havok.

There was a time during Grant Morrison's run on X-Men where Xavier did open his school to human students. I think it set off the Riot at Xavier's storyline.

Emma Frost and Sean Cassidy allowed human students on their "franchise" of the school (comic was "Generation X"). I never finished that book, so I don't know how all that ended.

Emma's half-sister mind-controlled the humans to riot. Everett died in the chaos trying to defuse a bomb.

He might not want to violate a person's free will by forcing commands onto them.

​@@kingofthegundam7974Hah. Oh, the irony.

"WELCOME TO DIE!! X-MEN!!"

Jubilee has a tendency to be annoying, especially in the 90's series, Kitty was never (as far as I can tell) *that* annoying.

I love Jubilee, so I'm gonna be biased. On the one hand, Kitty eventually becomes a warrior with a swords and a dragon companion. Sweet! On the other, Jubilee once made a villain so mad his powers exploded on his face. I just love that annoying little brat.

In Soviet Russia, Kitty wants to have kids with Colossus.

I think this is before he was revealed to Catholic, (probably in the 90s)

I was the one who Changed the Metrolyrics to that :)

X-men, X-men, gay for pay, have it your way, X-men, X-men, go all the way...?

Earth, Welcome to Die!

The helmet did jack before the 2000s movies.

I like the platonic relationships they had with each other and with Rogue. If all _three_ hung out more often, they'd be an ideal platonic OT3.

That was apparently an invention for the first X-Men movie that got backfilled into every other piece of media. XD

Eamonn Deane Indeed. The animated series also gave Victor his most oft used backstory (which is the best, in my opinion), showing how other media on comic characters can influence the comics, as well.

Eamonn Deane Absolutely. I'm fine with coming up with something original, as well, but don't create a plotline that directly spits in the face of the previous. Fans tend not to enjoy that. I understand that they were attempting to 'evolve' the narrative by taking elements of the previous and adding onto it. That is, of course, perfectly fine. But, a good rule of thumb to follow when attempting this is 'does this build our understanding of the character?' In this case, the answer was 'no'. What we got instead was a very significant alteration of an otherwise established lore that worked towards the narrative (of the Court of Owls) rather than the character. If they added the bit about his mother and having Nora as the second 'offense' of this nature, I can see that working. I'm also certainly not against someone tempting him with use of his research to help others after he believed it all to be lost to all but him as a way to motivate him towards a new plan. Conversely, they could have just started fresh. We may or may not have liked the backstory, but rewrites are better than an unrealistic change in character or motivation for a character (in my opinion). Fries went from sympathetic to greatly despised for me, and that should not happen unless there's a very good reason for it. What are your thoughts on the matter?

Eamonn Deane Yeah...yeah. *Sadly nods*

What I see as probably more likely in the late 80's during production of Pryde is ,"Hey, we've already used this Australian Wolverine twice on Spidey a couple of years ago, let's keep him, and what with Crocodile Dundee being a hit, we might be able to surf the Aussie-mania."
