X-Men: Evolution

Is anyone else here a fan of this? I don't do nearly the Saturday morning cartoon watching I used to but what I've seen is mostly Pokemon-esque crap. And this is a nice little gem since they canned Batman Beyond. The last episode, Day of Reckoning, was a pretty cool visual treat.

How is it possible that you and I haven't talked about this?! I love this show. I personally think it's one of the only Marvelverse scenarios in which the characters personalities and relationships make a fragment of sense, though I'm sure that someone better versed in the Marvelverse could easily hand me my ass in an argument about it.

I love cartoons to begin with, but this one is great. The animation's pretty good, though there are occasionally things that irk me- example: Rogue's chin cleft. The voice acting isn't bad, some accents could use some more coaching, but hell, what show doesn't have that problem. I could go on all night, but I'll shush now.

not really a fan or detractor, but i can't help but feel that these tv/movie spin-offs can never be as fun as the old comics, which really make you love superheroes. i guess i just can't settle for second best. it is interesting how they focus on a variation of the 80's X-men, and the new take on Rogue is way better than in the old cartoon. a bit "Dawson's Creek" but i hear that character aging will happen season to season, which makes confrontation with a non-high school gang Brotherhood of Mutants probable. has Banshee appeared yet? it would be great to see an older version of this character (like Wolverine and Storm) amongst the young team, sort of like Gen-X. i was introduced to Banshee, oddly my favorite character, by the Claremont/Lee run where he was a bit older and wiser. i like the idea of the weathered old Irishman...

I don't think we've seen Banshee yet. We also haven't seen Moira McTaggert though, and if I remember right in some settings he was part of her crew.
