As you already know, I’ve started
rewatching “Spider-man,” but in between those reviews, I’ve also
decided to go ahead and write about its sister series “X:Men.” I
was a huge fan of this cartoon when I was younger, so much so that
when I got my first job, a large portion of my paycheck went toward
buying comic books just so I could revisit a series I never got to
see end.
From what I remember, the show placed a
lot of emphasis on the characters and the relationships, not all of
them romantic. Here was a kids’ show that was willing to stretch the
definition of a kids’ show and tell some more adult stories without
pandering to their young audience.
