it's literally a one for one remake and they couldnt even do it right. the frame rate is horrible in this. they practically traced the characters and somehow they look worse than the old ones. the intro song is off too somehow. the fuck is up with storm's hair? she was suppose to be this sophisticated african, not some punk. this is another disgusting nostalgic money grab by disney.
shareThey made some slight changes to the intro song. Storm's hair change is lifted directly from the comics it doesn't make me think any less of her. The animation was always choppy but is much improved here. I don't think it's striving for 'Arcane' level animation quality on purpose. Disney is guilty of many many shameless cash grabs but this is not one of them.
shareI haven't seen it yet, 9.1 on IMDB.
The people have spoken.
I hate Disney too because they exclusively produce garbage these days, and I FULLY expected this to suck mutie balls, but I’m pleasantly surprised!
The animation is by far the worst thing about it. It’s so fucking cheap looking. There’s no defending it. Moving on!
PROS: I am shocked Cyclops has come off so well. That-and that alone-is an improvement on the original. I expected them to make Scott look dumb in an effort to make Storm look better, but they actually made them both look great.
I’m an X-Men expert and this story feels unpredictable. It’s similar to TAS in that I can see where they’re mixing and matching elements from but I don’t know where they’re going with it. I like that.
Of the characters with new looks:
1) Magneto looks fucking terrible. The giant M costume never looked good but the Bon Jovi hairdo really makes it look ultra stupid.
2) Morph’s new svelte look is out-matched in retardedness only by his voice. He looks more like the Exiles morph, but not in a good way. They really are taking too many liberties with him. A character named “Morph” should change, sure, but he’s so far off-model that he’s no longer the same Morph from TAS.
3) Storm’s haircut does look dumb with her white Jim Lee costume. The mohawk is from the comics, yeah, but it only looks good with certain costumes. It’d look better if her costume was the black version from the Fall of the Mutants era. Although, the voice actress sounds so creaky and old, the mohawk probably wouldn’t feel right.
4) At least Bishop got a good haircut.
Voices: I really miss the original voices for Magneto and Scott. Jean Grey’s original actress now voices Valerie Cooper and she sounds like she wouldn’t be able to pull off the Jean voice nowadays. I heartily miss Jubilee’s original voice. What a dumb move, caving to some vague PC bullshit before anyone even complained. And Sunspot can’t act for shit.
Overall, I’m happy. The animation sucks but the show is pretty good.
I just don't get why most western animation looks like fucking trash these days.
