So, like,
So, like, Batman, the animated series aside, is this the best superhero cartoon theme song of all time?
Oh, yeah.
I mean, it might, I think you even try.
drums the Batman. Is that right?
Because the Batman theme song is just the Danny Elfman
thing. Right. It's already been
established, whereas this one is
unique to this show. It's
Bada-B-da-B-B-da-B-B-B-A-X-Men.
X-Men. They're doing stuff.
It gets you pumped as fuck
to watch a stupid 20-minute cartoon.
I'll tell you that. I guess so.
Welcome to
Animation Damnation. I'm Andrew Jupin
alongside Stephen Sadek, Eric
Ciske, and Sean Weiner. We are
continuing our little X-Men athon.
And we're talking about, of course, X-Men, the animated series.
The episode in question, Jubilee's fairy tale theater, original air date, November 15th, 1996.
So this is a little divergence from the animation damnation theme, which is like trying to choose stuff that's emblematic of the series, like, oh, this is an episode that kind of gets you an idea of what the show is.
This is like the nadir of what I think is a pretty okay cartoon or a pretty good cartoon.
And it's like totally off-brand.
It's nonsense.
It's like one of the worst things I've ever seen.
It's so stupid.
And this is, it's the fifth and final season of this show.
It's like the fifth or sixth episode.
There's not much left to go.
And you're,
you're running on fumes, man.
It's all it reminds me of,
it's one of my most hated episodes of the Simpsons,
which is that Simpsons Tall Tales episode.
Oh, yeah.
Where it's like, I don't even know what the situation is,
but it's like the Simpsons in Tall Tales.
Yeah.
And it's just so that, I feel.
feel that episode exists solely so that
they can make a Paul Bunyan's
big dick fucking
marge joke at the end of it
like that's what that thing is
because it's... I'd like to see that
because it's like... I'll wait
23 minutes for that. Yeah, I'm sure there's some
fan art that you could find about that.
You know what I mean?
People who want to fuck the Simpsons
or watch the Simpsons fucking... That's insane.
It's the lowest and every time
I'm on a slightly dubious.
website, that's always
in the right hand corners. Like, hey,
you want to watch fucking the family
guy, people fuck each other?
No. I'm like, A, no, they're a
family, and B, no. Brian's
getting in on it. Oh, come on.
Exactly. It's like, I went to,
I tried to go to my friend's Deviant Art
page because he's doing cool stuff with
graffiti filters. What's that
Peter and Lois fucking in front
of the kids? Okay, the internet.
Thanks a bunch, technological,
I'm sorry for whatever
happened of that person
It's like oh I want to see
Last Night's Game of Thrones
Slightly illegally oh cool
Here comes fucking Homer like
Getting it on with Lisa or whatever
The fuck internet
Yeah
This is this series
And I'm by the way I don't do that
I've never stolen a file or anything
Like that
No we yeah that no
Legal means
HBO now exists for a reason
I have the same experience with The Simpsons as I do with X-Men,
which is like, I'm a lever.
Like when the show's starting to go down,
I just like, the end of, I'm like,
well, that wasn't as good of a season.
I'm out.
I don't want to see it fall apart.
I don't want to have all the things I love about this thing ruined.
I'm just going to pretend it was three seasons and we're done.
Yeah, yeah.
And like, I don't really have a memory of this cartoon, like, going downhill,
but like here we are.
This is Jubilee with a bunch of kids stuck in a cave
and she's telling them a fucking fairy tale
where like Wolverine's a troll
and all she's like a magic elf.
It's not like you're telling like a classic story.
This is just like make it up as you go along
kind of Lord of the Rings-esque, right?
Yeah, because she's like in peril.
Apparently there's some field trip coming to the Xavier compound
of normal kids which get out of my school.
Yeah, I didn't know Charles Xavier.
you're catered to Normos.
And, you know, the X-Men are, it's your classic, like, bad episode of a television show
where everyone's doing something more exciting, but they say goodbye.
You're not going to see that.
And, like, Jubilee is a cool character.
Like, I'm not, I'm a fan of Jubilee, but, like, this is just a bad episode for her.
What is her superpowers?
Like, sparks, like, fireworky sparks.
Yeah.
Shoot out of her hands.
Let's say theoretically.
Her real name, by the way, in case you were wondering, Eric, is Jubilation.
Her parents were flower children.
So if she got stuck somewhere, maybe she could use these powers in some way to help her.
Yeah, it just sort of buzz them sometimes, but not in a way that's effective to solve the conflict of the story.
Right.
So basically, yeah, so she takes these kids down to some, I guess, a cave underneath the school.
There's caverns underneath this mansion, which I was like, news to me.
Backheads down there.
Terrible foundation.
They get caved in
And like
This is where Professor Xavier's family
Helped with the Underground Railroad
Or something
I actually believe that that's maybe somewhere
Oh that would make sense
Yeah
Oh yeah
Somebody's written that
Yeah
And it's very like
It's Captain Planet Times right
This is like the 90s
Everything is like
Environmentalism should be there
Yep
We should always be teaching children
Yep
The children should look like
A United Colors of Benaton ad
It's all very
Like it really felt like a time capsule for me
It's like I remember this
Well it's funny you say Captain Planet
Because the animation style changed this season
versus the other seasons for whatever reason
Like yeah I know this is a way
I'm getting deep now
But like the earlier episodes
Like look like the theme song
Where it's that kind of stiff animation
But it looked really similar to the comics
And how they were drawn
Which I love because it would be like
Let's go X-Men
And they just like robotically
Stifely walk away
But this is more fluid, but also just looks more Captain Planet to me, like even the animation stuff.
I mean, just saying, it looks shittier.
It looks much, much shittier.
It looks like they fired.
They're like, you know what, do we really need Roger to be leading this animation department?
He makes the most money.
Just cut him.
I'm sure Cliff can handle it.
This is what you get.
Cliff fucking blew it hard, man.
So she stuck and to pass the time and to like, these kids start getting nervous and she's like, oh, man, I'm going to kill all these kids.
We're all going to hell tonight.
She's like, I'll tell them.
a story to take their mind off
which is kind of the framing device. But like
these kids are like 14. They'd be like, hey, ladies,
shut up. We're stuck at a mind.
Yeah, we know what a cave-in is. We
saw it happen. Don't tell me it didn't happen.
How about you some of your crazy
powers? Yep. To do something.
But mostly it's just
a situation of her being like,
we're going to die. I'm not going to tell anybody.
Okay, kids, here we go. Well, that's what's
awesome. To think about the rabbits, Lenny. Blam.
She keeps like
walking away from them to check
on the grave situation
she's like uh hang out
for a second oh let's see how this
caven's doing yep still stuck okay
nothing to see here kids back
to this tail i've been spinning and then like water
starts coming and it's like oh this is getting worse
anyway
but so the story is and like the
idea is like Jubilee is kind of
a marginal character in these episodes
and she's always the
spunky teen sidekick so now it's her turn
to tell a story where she's
kind of like Robin Hood, I guess, and Magneto is running some fake medieval land with robots.
Yeah, there's robots.
So Magneto and this becomes Magnus, who's like this evil lord or whatever.
And yeah, he's just got these sentinel-esque robots that it kind of doesn't make sense.
Because there's one point where the robots like holding Jubilee and he's like, you know,
don't worry about it.
Our leader Magnus will come or something like that.
And she's like, well, if you're so sure about this, why are you so?
nervous and I'm like how's a robot
nervous? It's clearly a robot
and gambits
in it and this is like the worst of all
Gambit like Jesus it's terrible
Is his accent that bad throughout
I think they might have changed voice actors
Because it's really bad
It's so bad I don't know I think this might be
A case of we were dumb kids
Yeah I think you're right
It's just like a it's like a stuffy Paul
Perdome the whole thing
Oh Garibamba Garib
guarantee. Also, he's talking about
himself in the third person all the time.
Yeah. He and and I
mean I understand like Louisiana
French is different but my mother's
French and when I heard
this today when I was watching the episode
all I could think about is
my mother watching her child
watching this like shitty French
stereotype and having to like
bite her tongue on how fucking
offensive that is. I was like
this poor woman gave me everything
even her pride. But it's not even
it's just bad French
at that thing. Yeah, it is. Well, it's also just weird too.
Like, so the beginning of the episode is
Xavier Wolverine
and Gambit have a meeting
with the president they have to get to.
And it's so awesome because like
fucking, I almost called him Patrick Stewart
but Professor Xavier
is just like, well, I'm sorry
Jubilee. I'd be giving this tour
of the caverns if it weren't for the
fact that the president was calling.
And she's like, well, why can't one of these other dickheads
do it? And like, Gambits get
on the plane and he turns around and he's like
oh sorry Petty
I have to go I'm not good with kids and I was
like you're just your nickname for her
is small
that's fucking gross
dude
it gets grosser this
so this is a fantasy that exists
in Jubilee's mind
it's her fantasy it's her fantasy
where in the king and like
and like here's the thing like
it's cool that she in her fantasy
and a medieval fantasy she's not like
a wayfish princess waiting to be saved
she's an adventurer sure
And she's an elf for some reason.
Sure.
Well, because Fereng Gully was big recently.
And you put elf ears at Jubilee.
You got the protagonist in Ferengali.
For some reason, Scott and Gene are the king and queen of this land.
And Wolverine's a troll, which amounts to the guy doing the Wolverine voice, putting, like, I guess, gum in his mouth.
I guarantee you it's Dracula Tees.
He's got some 99 cents store Dracula teeth in his mouth.
he's recording this dialogue.
Oh, by the way, Steve Bloom did that voice in case anyone was wondering.
I wasn't.
Is that someone of note?
No, not at all.
He did the Wolverine voice, Eric.
He's of note to me.
Noted.
But, yeah, and, like, he's a troll, and Gambit is, like, this sexy adventurer, and, like...
He's, like, the Kevin Costner of the situation.
Yeah, sure.
And, like, everyone's like, oh, Jubilee, you're so cool.
Oh, man, Jubilee.
And, like, Gambit's, like, attracted to her, right?
Like that's, I'm not making that off.
I think that both her and Wolverine are attracted to her in this, like, he's a troll, so that would be not okay.
But this child story ends with a potential three-way happen.
Oh, yes, it does.
They walk off into the sunset.
Many of them do.
Yeah, like, basically that they start a poly family together.
Like they're all holding hands.
Yeah.
Because she's offered that Princess Wayfish life at the end, and they're like, okay, so now.
you'll learn all the rules. And she's like, but I don't
want rules. I want two men in my
life and I want to live in the woods.
Which is very progressive
for this. Yeah. But also like she also
kind of strangely wants Scott and Gene
to be her mom and dad too.
It's a bit
psychologically dark, I feel.
Yeah, well, you know, Jubilee's a damaged
person. The kids
wanted a story. What they got was like
the shattered glimpse of this
mind of Jubilee.
everything she's dealing with on the daily.
I love like they keep cutting back
and the kids are just crying.
And she's like, what?
This is how it is.
This is reality.
Grow up.
And then her family dies.
And then all of her friends stop calling her.
And it's like, wait, what?
And then she starts thinking,
were my friends just my friends?
Because they liked my parents.
And the kids are pretty creepy as well, though,
because you got these like two,
these twins who's talking unison
and for a show that we've just now been saying
it's like progressive in certain elements
when they go through and they're like
I'm going to tell you a story
the kids like the boys are like
about nights and fighting
and then the girl's like about a princess
and love
and you're like okay got it
and then like the water is creeping
and it's like yeah yeah both all that shit
and then we go into this
really awful turnpagy
montage that's so terrible looking
Gumbie walks out
Holy shit
This story is terrible
That girl's messed up
Skate away
I'm gonna go and do a western
book
And then Xavier pops out
Basically as
Peewee Herman's mirror I guess
It's Jombie was
I thought it was a little jambi-esque also
Yeah he comes out
He's like the all-knowing whatever
Is that because he's a white man
wearing a turban? Is that why you guys are labeling
it that way? Yeah, pretty much.
Great. That's what the cartoons telling me to do.
Whatever.
Sabretooth shows up for a second.
That's a fun of this.
The fun of this world is that we get to see
every character in what they would be in this
shitty world. Yeah. And so
like, they all kind of make perfect sense.
But the saber tooth one is uniquely
terrible because he's got like
this side braid rat tail
rocket. Yeah. He, they
somehow managed to make white trash
exist in this world.
My question, now we're on Sabretooth
and speaking on like the vocal
acting and stuff, the voice acting
rather, did Sabretooth always
sound like David Johansson on this
cartoon? Yeah, he kind of does.
It's so weird. He's,
oh, hey, everybody. Oh, dig that Wolverine. Get over
here, you little piece of shit.
And you're just like, all right.
It's a really specific voice. It's like
locates him not just to like the borough of
Brooklyn, but it's exact.
that intersection.
Yeah, you can pinpoint this fucking saber team points.
You can Google Maps.
You can Shazam that voice and Google Maps that location.
Wolverine also, not for nothing, looks like Blanca as this troll.
Because it's like a jacked troll.
And he's green.
It looks, I mean, to be honest, this cartoon might be better than that Warcraft movie that's about.
Oh, R-I-P-D Duncan Jokes.
Why did he make this?
There's nothing I was looking forward to more
than the next Duncan Jones thing
And I was like this
He's made two awesome science fiction movies
And the whole time I'm looking at this movie coming out
I'm thinking there has to be something I'm not seeing
There's something
And if there is fucking good for you Duncan Jones
Because you fooled us all the way there
Now what is with that movie
The character design is insanely awful
And I was wondering is he just being too
beholden to the source material?
Probably I guess
And that's what like a computer
computer game?
Yeah.
I don't know
anything about
Wow, right?
It's Word of Warcraft.
An M-M-O-P-O-R-G or whatever that's called?
Yeah, an L-M-N-O-P-L-L-R-G or whatever that's called.
Massively multiplayer online role-playing game.
Thank you very much.
Yeah, that's right.
Eric and I connected.
So it's one of them like...
Stockin and Malone of weird shit.
I've never played Warcraft, though.
It's just, that's one of them things where, like, you can log in and you're your own little character and
there's other people.
Correct.
Oh, actually, speaking of the worst Simpsons episodes I've ever seen,
it was one of those,
like, I'll check back on the Simpsons.
Always a bad move.
Always a bad move.
When you should have stopped watching the Simpsons,
I'll see what they're up to.
And it was an episode where Marge is playing Warcraft.
And very similar to this, everyone's in a medieval setting.
God damn, that sucks.
It just fucking sucks.
It just speaks to, again, the X-Men writers were out of ideas.
They were out, like, I don't know.
Maybe someone, like, has a dream and everything's different.
Isn't that kind of fun?
Everyone's put on fun out fits.
Remember that, like, that Easter one where they were, the Simpsons were,
Bible stories
Oh Simpson's Bible stories
Yeah it's the same shit
Yeah I don't like that
You guys don't remember how in the 90s
Like in the early aught
Every show had an intern writing day
Every season is like
Today the interns get to occupy the writer's room
That's what these are
Fucking take your kid to work day man
Jesus Christ
I drew this cartoon of Jubilee telling these kids
By the way Jubilee dies at the end
We'll change the ending
but I love the idea.
So they like in the story world,
they like go and storm, you know,
Magnus's castle and whatnot.
And we're just fighting more tiny sentinels.
But it's also weird.
It's psychologically sad because everyone's just like stopping
and being like, Jubilee, you're so great.
And it's like, oh man, this girl's poor life.
Like it's all like, oh man, we love Jubilee.
Let's all hang out with Jubilee.
Yeah.
Actually, I think they're not robots, right?
They're kind of enchanted suits of art.
Yeah, I think you're...
Oh, is that the deal?
Because you can see through them.
They float.
Yeah, I think we're taking the magneto power to be just magic, man.
Oh, I see.
Like a different kind of magic.
But it still makes some sense because they're still metal.
Yeah, exactly.
There's a small little thread there.
It's still canon.
Right, Steve?
Yeah, no, it's all canon.
Who's the Weasley guy with the mustache?
Is that morph?
Who are we dealing with a...
It's like a...
There's a rat sitting in a tree, spying on them.
Oh, right.
Yeah, yeah.
And then it explodes into a cloud.
And he's like, sneak up on the Magnus.
Man, I don't think so.
Only time we see him.
Is he towed maybe?
But he turned into something.
Oh, did he?
It has to be morph, I think.
It's weird.
It's just a guy with like a John Waters mustache.
It's John Waters.
He turns into a rat to see all the dirty stuff.
Get some ideas for his movies.
This is gross.
I remember, I mean, again, this show larger.
they did the first episode
and Morf gets killed at the end of it
and then there was like a year long
hiatus and then the rest of the show came on
that was a crazy time in my life
wasn't the first episode
of this show where Wolverine is
clearly Australian is that this one
no that's a different one there was an
80s X-Men cartoon called the Pride of the
X-Men which was like basically the same thing
with Jubilee
What a weird name
is Jubilee
The Kitty Pride of the X-Men
Yeah kitty pride in Jubilee's role
and Wolverine's just, like, incredibly Australian for no reason.
Yeah, that's a fucking stay tuned in a half.
I think he calls Cybertooth a dingo at one point.
I'm not even kidding you.
You call somebody a dingo.
Isn't Wolverine in some areas, like,
supposed to actually be Japanese in somewhere,
or is that not in there?
Not, not, not, not, not.
I remember, like, a lot.
Not my X-Men, God, dammit.
Not my Wolverine.
Hashtag, not my Wolverine.
A lot of those wizard projections,
I remember.
one time they like projected an X-Men cast
and they had like this Japanese guy
passes and I was like oh okay
and I thought for some reason
I mean he hangs out in Japan enough
well it was way back when it was like and Toshiro Mofune
as Wolverine
exactly well and he
maybe he went off to train in Japan and much like
Sean Connery as James Bond decided to get
plastic surgery and turned into a Japanese
you gotta Japanify me for a little
bit so I can confuse fucking
blowfeld
he thinks I'm dead so you turn me into a
Japanese.
Make a bar is can you put
a little mascara
on Mr. Conner and we'll move forward.
That was enough for them.
Get me the spark stuff
without the ears.
Oh, wait, do they have the ears?
I haven't seen a Japanese in quite
a while.
Whatever.
I mean, this thing,
she's kind of like
waiting for everyone to save her
and then they do.
And like these kids are...
In the real world.
Yes, and the kids are eating this shit up.
I mean, like, in the fake world,
like she foils Magneto and everyone's like
oh well you know and she
you know basically goes off to start this little
relationship I guess
yeah I mean there's a weird part in
they have they break into this chamber
and it's I mean it's some stupid thing
where they're trying to like unite this Jewel
that's been split apart
the McTaggart Jewel
oh is that right? Oh yeah
fuck that's dumb
there's a part where like so Magnus
like comes in and he's like
oh here's a spell and like Wolverine
gets like stuck in clay
And it's this Wolverine with like white sticky shit all over him
And I'm like whatever kid's show
Just keep doing it
And then like Jubilee like throws like a bunch of fireworks at this magnus
And then like the fucking goop goes off a wolverine
And slams into him and all the suits of armor slam into him
And she keeps like shooting him
And the transition is weird because she's like blowing this thing up
And then it's like the real world of blowing a hole in the cavern
Or whatever like that's their transition
And again, like, to what Eric said at the beginning, like, just do that from the start.
Blast a fucking hole in the wall and save ourselves telling this dumb story.
There's a real like film school student like transition thing going on because earlier they do another one of those like, did you see that transition?
Where like rocks fall down and then the world transitions and you see the rocks fall down at present day.
And you're like, it's an animation.
Like it's not as impressive when you just draw.
than when you shoot that thing, you know?
I mean, it's amazing.
And there's a great Professor Xavier line at the end.
So, like, they're all saved and whatever.
These kids are getting back on the bus to go back to their school or whatever.
And they're like, oh, Jubilee, tell us your stories later.
Like, they're so into this fucking bullshit tale.
And it's awesome.
Like, right after they say that, they have Xavier, like, tilt his head.
And he goes, story?
And I'm like, you're the most powerful psychic in the world.
Slash, why didn't you put the president's conversation?
conversation on pause and go help these
kids. You fucking dickhead.
Is there a Mary
Sue in this story?
Sounds like
fan fiction to me, Trubilee.
I mean, she actually, to your point, Eric, she's kind of
a Mary Sue in this story.
As I've learned.
And she,
like, for that last shot, she,
because it's like mirroring her walking away
with her two bows. Right.
Her fantasy, when she walks away with Gambit and
troll varee.
How did we not get troll-verid in this fucking clip?
Why did they say that?
But they try to mirror it, but it's so awkward and weird, and it's such a first idea that you're like, no, don't do that.
Because it's her alone kind of like, not skipping, but like just being like, yes, yes, yes, me all the way into the distance.
Yeah, and she's like doing backflips and they're like, oh, she'll be the best of us all, I guess.
Well, that's what she will be the death of us.
It's kind of shitty because at, like, the very end of this, like, the real world part of it is Xavier and Scott and Wolverine or whoever's standing there.
And they're like, wow, I guess she's been ready to be an ex-man the whole time.
And Xavier's like, well, good, that's probably a promotion or whatever it is.
And in the back of my head, I'm like, this show's got like six episodes left.
It's not going to be a promotion for long, man.
Six episodes from now, there's a final episode.
called Graduation Day.
She also just nearly killed seven kids.
That's not grads for promotion.
Well, they've got Gene Gray, again,
just like speaking to kids' things,
like she's so, she's so blown away
by the possibility that Jubilee
could have kept this situation under control.
She's like, Professor, I don't get it.
I'm not sensing any of the, you know,
terror waves that these kids should have felt
by being stuck in a cavern.
Like, how are they not fearing
for their lives.
Well, I guess she's just that good of a storyteller.
I guess Gene Gray was waiting for those terror waves.
Oh, yeah, I feed off of scared kids.
If she's that good of a storyteller, she should write a book.
I would like to hear more.
Oh, really?
Oh, yeah, that's a good idea.
So you were just like those kids, huh?
You were hanging on to every word?
Now that I've heard the word troll vareen.
No, now I see there's value in this.
It's also like a pretty, that's a pretty good famous author name.
Jubilation Lee.
Oh, yeah.
I feel like that's generally what you hear.
Totally.
Like Juno Diaz, Jubilation Lee.
These all fell right together.
Do you see Jubilation Lee's going to be at the Union Square Barnes & Noble?
Reading from her latest yarn spin?
It's called yarn spin.
It's setting in a fairy tale barnyard.
Oh, there would be like a, a, a, I,
a gruff, angry pig
called Hogverine.
But they compare it to
Georgia Orwell's animal
father. Oh, yeah.
Every single book she puts out, there's
something varine.
Benvarine. That was weird.
Benverine was
uncharacteristically just angry
and mean to people.
Smoking cigars.
I liked her book about the New England
Patriots with Shane Verine. That was a lot of fun.
Was anybody embarrassed watching this?
This one, yes.
Very much so.
But I, these are all on Hulu and actually those first couple of seasons are a lot of fun.
I mean, like, those early X-Men cartoons are kind of just like motion comics, you know what I mean?
Like you get the Dark Phoenix saga there, truncated, you get like truncated versions of this and that.
And it's like, oh, that's kind of fun.
But this one, this is the worst episode of the series.
Yeah, sure.
I don't know that I'm convinced.
Well, I guess, yeah.
I mean, I was never really into the show.
I only saw a handful of them.
So, well, I'm, you know, I don't know how embarrassed I am, but, yeah, whatever.
I think for me, like I said, I'm a lever, and so I wish I never knew this exists.
Because I left the show.
I shouldn't know these things exist.
What's weird is, I mean, I didn't know.
I wasn't embarrassed, like, because it reminded me of how much I liked the show.
This was like my fucking Fox afternoon, man.
Because even as a little kid, you guys, like, I didn't read comics.
So this was my way into the X-Men.
This is all, until that first Brian Singer movie, this is how I knew the X-Men.
But this is the same.
For me, I started watching this cartoon and then realized executioner's song was coming out.
That's how I started watching comic books was from this thing.
So this, I think, is like the seed to a lot of our superhero.
The thing about this is, like, I saw this sometimes growing up, and I was never that into it, never really watched it.
And I always kind of regretted that.
I always felt like I lost something there.
And then I saw this episode.
I was like, no, I was right.
See, that's why this is a bad entry point.
Because, I mean, I'm psyched.
I didn't know until this morning that this was all on Hulu.
Oh, yeah, man.
It's just been waiting for me.
So I'm going to, like, go back and check this out.
But what sucks is when I went into this, like, fifth season on Hulu,
and they always start with, like, the last episode first.
And I saw the title was graduation day.
And I was like, I remember watching that episode.
Oh, really?
But so then I was like, have I seen this fucking fairy tale thing?
And I just totally blocked it out because I was like, Steve, this is about what?
Okay.
And I mean, yeah, it's a series low point.
But like this was like childhood coming back and I was like, get the tall glasses of water ready.
Oh, yeah.
Here we go.
And then they had, what was that?
There was the show after this that they did.
A Wolverine and the X-Men or there was a, oh, no, X-Men evolution.
Evolution, yeah.
There's been a couple X-Men cartoons after this.
and evolution was closer to
the movies. It was like, oh, the movies.
But now it's like
on TV, but not really good.
Yeah, that's how they get you.
I mean, I'm sure people that are younger than me
grew up with that show and that's their thing.
You know what I mean? But I was just, I was like
17 when that came out.
And you see them. Like, I remember
when that Spider-Man cartoon came out,
I remember not being on that, but knowing
that people were going to love that.
And then, like, you see like that
the future Batman one.
Oh, Batman Beyond.
Batman Beyond.
which is like a legitimately good show
I just never got into it
yeah so it's like
hashtag not my Batman
yeah not my Batman
that's animation damnation
