I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a cartoon with more entertaining storylines than X-Men. They made a conscious effort to incorporate the comics into the TV series and it was undoubtedly successful. Don’t get me wrong, the movies were really entertaining but they still couldn’t top this — mainly because they went a little bit off track. This animated series was so well balanced because it provided a little bit of everything. You had the brilliant stories, plenty of action through the fight sequences and a good amount of humor – especially when Wolverine and Cyclops got into it. Not to mention Rogue was pretty much as attractive as a cartoon character can possibly be, with her form fitting yellow and green uniform and that raspy, southern accent spoken ever so sexily (yeah, I said “sexily”) by Lenore Zann. Then, there was Gambit who was the feces. Constantly Gambit was pissing off his fellow X-Men by doing whatever he damn well pleased and it was the most badass thing we had ever seen. I think a combination of these things makes it obvious that the X-Men cartoon we grew up watching was the best. If you disagree and prefer the movies, then at the very least we can agree on ONE thing that translates to every form of X-Men: Cyclops is a dick. If Wolverine hates you then so does everyone else. Plus, his own freaking girlfriend killed him so that should speak volumes as to just how big of a douche Cyclops is.
