Show Summary

Edit Summary »

X-Men: Evolution brought the fan favorite comic book title onto the TV screen. The series loosely follows the main stories of the original comic. The main cast has been turned into kids (with the exception of Wolverine, Prof. X, and a few select others). Most of the fan favorites are accounted... more »

    Good versus Evil in the beginning hide « show »

    This series essentially takes the base concept and revisualizes it. It utilizes characters from throughout the comics' timeline, placing them together in a regular high school, with the Xavier Institute as an extracurricular, well, institute. It only utilizes characters that make sense as high schoolers, and uses characters that make more sense as teachers as such. The series get better and better towards the grand finale, so stick with it and I assure you, you'll be hooked. Story arcs go over several episodes and they are done great. This is an exceptional cartoon which was not given the attention it deserved.

    X-men! Go Wolverine! hide « show »

    An overall good series. Wolverine is my favorite character of all time but he didn't play a big enough role in my opinion. The actor who did his voice wasn't all that good at the whole snaring thing that Wolverine does but he was still a good choice for Wolverine. A few things were gotten wrong. Like Xavier calles Magneto "Erik", or "Magneto"; not "Magnus". Wolverine hardly EVER called Xavier "Charles". It's usually "Charlie", "Chuck", or whatever other nicknames that comes with the name. The powers Rogue absorbs only stay with her for a short amount of time before leaving. Also, when the powers leave, so does the personality that came with it. The jet comes out of the basketball (or tennis, depends on the comic) court, not a waterfall. I still watch it over and over. It's a good series. I wish they had made more episodes.

    The best show ever! hide « show »

    X-Men Evolution showed the characters evolving from young teens learning to control their powers, to saving the world and their mentor, Professor Xavier. The series had was well thought out and showed the characters powers grow. Jean Grey, in particular, evolved a lot. I the beginning of the series she was not powerful and had to use a lot of energy just to move a chair across a room, but she grew more powerful with every season. She was able to life people, cars, and even a helicopter. By the end of the series, with the help of cerebro, she was able to hold her own against Professor Xavier in a psychic battle.

    Every X-Men show gets better than the last. Unfortunately that means the new Wolverine show has surpassed Evolution hide « show »

    My brother grew up with the original series. I grew up with Evolution, which may be the reason Evolution is my favorite. Another main reason is that my favorite mutant is a main character in Evolution, and never appeared in the original series. I tell you who it is at the end of the review. Evolution has gotten a lot of flack recently. People are saying that it is a horrible show, the animation quality is terrible, but guess what... IT'S NOT. The show got better and better each season. Season One, eh. Not so good. It didn't really follow the comics at all, besides of course the characters. But the season ended with a two part finale, where the X-Men were pitted against the Brotherhood in a survival of the fittest to find out who was the best. The winners were taken (voluntarily or forceful) to Magneto's sanctuary, Asteroid M. That's the first time they directly adapted the comics. The whole series is an interesting look at the X-Men. As teenagers. Sort of like what Smallville did for Superman. But much better. Evolution also had a plethora of comic book mutants brought into the world. Some who weren't in the original. Like my favorite mutie. The original roster consisted of Cyclops, Jean Grey, Rogue, Nightcrawler, Shadowcat (;) and a newbie, Spike, as the students. The three instructors were Professor X, Storm and Wolverine, all of which were adults. Then they introduced the Brotherhood. Magneto, Mystique, Quicksilver, Blob, Avalanche and Toad. Sabretooth also appeared but was more freelance. The season one finale introduced Havok. Then season two introduced the New Mutants- Jubilee, Wolfsbane, Iceman, Boom Boom, Bezerker, Multiple, Magma and Sunspot. Season two later introduced the Sentinels, (although it was only one sentinel in this series) Senator Kelly, (who is the Principal of the X-Men's school and is also named Edward) and Trask. In the finale, Pyro, Gambit and Colossus were introduced as members of the Acolytes. Apocalypse rolled around in Season Four and The Scarlet Witch also came in at the end of Season Two. Bottom line: Evolution is chock full of action, drama, emotion and mutants. Everything a good X-Men series needs to survive. By the way if you haven't figured it out by now, my favorite Mutant is Shadowcat, with Colossus as a close second.

    Love it. hide « show »

    In X-Men: Evolution, the X-men are all in high school except for Professor Xavier, Storm, Wolverine, Magneto and Mystique. Now the X-kids have to deal with not only saving the world from Magneto, and Mystique, they also have to deal with the brotherhood and high school drama such as dating and studying for tests. Most of the main characters from the original X-Men appear in teenage form, which I think was a good twist to a classic show. Overall I really enjoyed watching X-Men: Evolution, I wish that the creators would bring X-Men: Evolution back for more seasons, to develop the characters even more.
