As a fan of XMFC and DOFP I actually agree.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, the first cartoon really captured the feel of the comics that were coming out around it. I think the more recent movies have done a fair-ish job of trying to fit with the comics around today, but they don't do as good a job.

I also really enjoyed the other cartoons, though, so...

Are you sure you aren't just biased because of the bitchin' opening song?

I mean... few things are as bitchin'.

[(Anonymous)]

Do you ever get the theme tangled up with Whitney Houston's "I'm Your Baby Tonight"? I do. Still.

(Even the first Wolverine?)

[(Anonymous)]

I feel like there's something to the format and target audience of cartoons that always keeps them closer to the comics than movies.

[(Anonymous)]

Probably because they're serialized.

[(Anonymous)]

Not for me. I can't forgive what they did to Nightcrawler's character.

[(Anonymous)]

The movieverse version of him isn't that much better, tho.

[(Anonymous)]

I've never read Marvel comics so this was really where I know the characters from. I watched this and Spider-man from that time, and I thought that one was pretty good too (though I can't speak to how well it was like the comics).

I do like the X-men movies though.

[(Anonymous)]

Spider-man and his amazing friends?? That show was super trippy, even for a Saturday morning cartoon. Very enjoyable, though. Or so nostalgia tells me.

[(Anonymous)]

No, I don't think it was that one. It seemed like it followed the comic books maybe. I think it was this one:

[(Anonymous)]

That makes much more sense.

Oh, man I loved that show.

[(Anonymous)]

nayrt

Firestar was my favorite, Iceman was cool (sorry, I had to). I don't know why, but it took me forever to connect him with X-Men.

[(Anonymous)]

Sometimes I feel like the tv format is a lot better for comics in general. Batman, X-men, Superman, Spiderman etc all had some pretty good or at least decent cartoons.

Even the live action shows sometimes do better then the movies (I seriously think Gotham's young Bruce is a more accurate Bruce then we've had in any of the movies and that's even with Gotham going in a completely different direction with it's origins.)

[(Anonymous)]

Gotham's Bruce is my favorite LA portrayal too.

[(Anonymous)]

I feel like TV is just plan better for adaptations, especially for longer works. There's not enough time in a movie.

[(Anonymous)]

I think the benefits a movie has is a bigger budget typically means better effects, makeup, and etc that means it's easier to do certain settings and stories.

But that's only comparing live action since 2d animation can go anywhere and do anything.

2d animation does tend to get a bit more censored then comic books, but even with the censorship I agree that you tend to get more true to comic stories and characters with a longer format.

[(Anonymous)]

The theme music for this show was the best. I also wanted Rogue's hair.

[nightscale]

I like the X-Men movies but yeah the cartoons often stray closer to the comics than the films do, they seem to be able to get away with the more outrageous powers/plots than the movies can(my guess is because when using rl actors the audience's suspension of disbelief drops faster, but if it's a cartoon well it's not real anyway so who cares?)

But I still love this cartoon and the opening theme is utterly awesome.

[(Anonymous)]

I think it is the best X-Men comic adaptation too. However, I won't give up the less accurate ones like X-Men Evolution either. I like it for being it's own thing.

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

I can't say I've had a lot of experience with the comics for nigh on 15 years now, but between what I do know from the time I did collect them and my experience with both the movies and that cartoon... Yes, that cartoon felt like it stuck very close to the comics. Admitedly, it left Jean Grey alive at the end of the Pheonix saga episodes, and I don't think Kitty Pryde had an appearance in it at all (it was the story she was first introduced), but I feel it stuck to the storyline pretty close.
