The X-Men animated series is what got me into comics. Saturday morning, turning the TV on to Fox. I had an awesome childhood.

[hippocrips]

Damn I almost cried when he said it's been almost 3 decades since the animated series. Lolol we're getting old 90s babies 😭

[kgthegreatone]

I remember waking up every Saturday morning to watch X-Men the animated series and being so excited.I hope this show lives up to its potential

[mrzaphf]

I've seen X-Men T.A.S at the end of my teenage years. I've taped every episodes on multiples V.H.S tapes.
Great memories!

Lets not forget Apocalypse returns with a new body before the X-Men ended.

I wish Colossus was a part of this show. He had an episode in the original

[stormlord]

apocalypse isn't trapped in the astral plane anymore. in the fifth season episode, the fifth horseman, he took over fabian cortez's body and banished him to the astral plane in his place.

[Joshyohmygoshy]

If the first episode doesn't start with, "Previously on X-Men" its all downward from there!!

[mycsal]

core memory: jumping over and around the couches on Saturday morning imitating each x-men during the intro

Apocalypse has already left the astral plane, he is free. He took the body of Fabian Cortez at the end of Season 5 episode 5: The 5th Horseman.

Happy to see a happy, cheerful Rogue again.
It's been decades of her being portrayed as a sad character.

I want to see more of Storm, Jubilee, other mutants who weren't part of the animated series.

[BillyJupiter]

Mr. Sinister in the alley used to scare the bejezus out of me. Was the coolest

[Gizmofurious]

Morph was the only one in the team that could make wolverine laugh.

[nolongerblocked]

I knew I couldn't be the only one going back to watch all the original episodes in order, to re-familiarize myself with everything & the order it happened in. I started a few days ago watching as many episodes as I can each night before bed & I'm just getting done with season 2
PS: I'm so stoked for X-Men '97!!

[thMandalorian]

This is the recap video i needed! Thank you, it saves me watching 76 episodes in a row

[RomneyRanjo]

as someone who hasn’t seen the original one in FULL i was a bit confused about some parts in this new series. But i’m living for this show ❤

[stemberga]

It was awesome. Just watched the first two episodes. Magneto taking the high road.... is a nice sentiment

[hectorreyes]

I always remember X-men because I always felt the type of connection between Wolverine and Jubilee with my youngest sister it’s stupid I know. Also that intro music 🔥
