X-Men: Evolution

I liked the animation, voice-acting and some of the story-lines, but X-Men: Evolution never makes a big enough impact to leave a mark. The characters are re-imagined as highschoolers tiptoeing back-and-forth being X-Men, and it all feels a little contrived. Despite reframing plenty of classic X-Men stories, this series isn't great at gradual character development which lets it down a bit. Watchable, enjoyable even, but missing the "wow" factor.

This was fine for what it was but too kiddy for my taste.

love the hs setting, woulda preferred even more romance but done better. i feel like they often ended up meandering until the finale, especially after apocalypse came back. they did a really good job tapping into different characters and stories, even things that would be used by the MCU etc. i like that they kinda graduated into adults midwayish, but i think some started too mature/it didnt feel enough like hs sometimes

It was a cool take on the X-Men lore and it added some cool new visuals as well. This was definitely a show I raced home to watch when I was younger and carries a lot of nostalgia for me.
