X-Men Evolution - Mutants Rising Reviews
A unique spin on the original...
Sure, you've got the purists out there who despise anything that monkeys with the "canonical" origins of these characters. And I guess I agree. It's kind of like watching a re-envisioning of "Star Wars" where Han and Luke are academy buddies fighting over Leia's affections.
But I digress. "X-Men Evolution" is an interesting concept -- it reintroduces the characters to a younger audience in a way they can relate to them. It still keep some of the characters as they were, and continues to add layers of mystery to the series.
I was psyched to see this show hit Cartoon Network recently and now am double psyched to see it on DVD... but I would love to know what eps are on the DVD. I've managed to piece together what's on the various VHS releases and it's like 6 episodes across 3 tapes, with 2 more tapes I can't figure out... any help would be appreciated. I just hope they do this right and put on 5 or 6 episodes... that's almost 3 hours of enertainment and makes this DVD worht the [price].
High school isn't just normal anymore
Having grown up on the older FOX X-Men cartoon I started watching this series a little taken aback at the idea of changing nearly all the X-Men into teenagers. I found however that Evolution has done a nice job with the whole plot. These episodes were some of the better ones of the series, adding Boom-Boom to the story was a great idea (she is one of the lesser known very overlooked teen characters in the X-Men comic world) and her moments with Nightcrawler were priceless. I was also very happy to be able to find out Wolfsbane (remade to look more human and less wolfish than she has been in the past) was one of the newest members of the evolution team.
