OK, first of all, it could have been a good show, just was never picked up.They picked a pretty good team, although I would have done Cyclops, Ice-man and or angel, Storm, Wolverine, and Colossus (plus kitty) But: Dazzler was never really an X-Men when Kitty joined. Magneto was not the leader of the Brotherhood at that time, it was Mystique, and the brotherhood was Mystique, toad, Pyro, Blob, Avalanche, and Destiny. It was still pretty good though.

This is probably one of the best comic enspired TV series ever! Sadly, the pilot was never turned into a series!! It was a great adaptation of the comic book, and was home of some of the best voice talent of the time. Sadly, the show was shelved, and several years later, when X-Men made it to TV, a weaker cartoon was devised. This is eternally regarded as the difinitive X-Men cartoon in my book, and should be seen by any X-Fan! If you are lucky enough to find the VHS copy, buy it! I did, and I've never regretted it.

Why does everyone seem to hate this? Sure, the story was 100% generic, but it was definitely watchable. While the Saban cartoon that followed it around four years later was much more complex story-wise, its animation couldn't hold a candle to this one. If they were somehow able to combine this cartoon's animation with the stories of the show that came after this, we would have had a GREAT series.

Animation was outstanding and way ahead of its time.The best x-men project to this day any other marvel related animation just dosnt come close.And i am puzzled and wondering why that wasnt turned into a weekly or video series.Stan lee definitly dropped the ball on that one.
