Jason, I saved a draft of my original reply, but couldn't figure out how to pull that draft back up. Little help?

I liked how the 90's X-Men cartoon looked like it came straight from a comic. That being said, I did enjoy Evolution as well. The key is the animation fitting the tone of the show.

I also love the Timm style on DC cartoons and I'm sad to see they're starting to move away from that style. I do have to give an honourable mention to Teen Titans though; the "Murikanime" style works amazingly well for the show, transitioning from cartoony comedy to amazing action at the drop of a hat. It wouldn't work on Justice League or X-Men, but for the Titans it's great. If Marvel were to try it I'd think it could work for a New Warriors cartoon (not that we'll ever see one).


I remember when the Avengers cartoon came out (I actually didn't have a problem with the line-up but the redesigns were atrocious) I read an interview regarding why they chose the characters they did. They chose not to include Captain America, Thor, and Iron Man on the roster because they didn't want it to become the Cap, Thor, and IM show. My thought was, why in the world not? They wouldn't do the X-Men without Wolverine, they don't do Justice League with Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman, why not put the Big 3 into the cartoon? Sometimes I just have to shake my head.
