Officially Cool
A New Animated X-Men Series - Wolverine and The X-Men
Posted by Brian C. Gibson (brian@filmschoolrejects.com) on June 26, 2008
I just want to know, how did I f*cking miss this? I loved the X-Men animated series. I’m one of the names on the internet petition to bring that series to DVD. It looks like Marvel will be bringing us round two of The X-Men animated on the small screen.
I am a firm believer that you can never have too much X-Men, unless Brett Ratner is involved. It is also really cool that Marvel is just manning up and calling the group what it has actually become. Wolverine and The X-Men is scheduled to be hitting Nicktoons sometime in early 2009. I am sure we will get some more details when we go to San Diego Comic-Con, as Marvel will have a booth dedicated to this animated series. You will find the goods below, watch it now. Seriously though, how cool is it to see Logan as Weapon X in a cartoon? I can’t wait for this.
If you have any suggestions for our Officially Cool feature, please send an email over to Brian@filmschoolrejects.com.

FINALLY!!!! An X-Men follow-up series that finally looks like it will respect that beloved 90’s Fox series & live up to the anticipated hype!!! The fact that I LOVE Wolverine is besides the point that the trailer leads me to think that they’ve done all the things they needed to do to bring back this cartoon to tv!! I’m really excited to see where they go with this new series and whilst I’m not an Emma Frost fan, (seeing by the trailer they kill off Jean early but she’ll most likely return as Dark Phoenix muhahahaha!), this should be an interesting take on the recent timeline of the comic book as the new, glossy Genoshia kinda reminds me of House of M…so this cartoon should be AWESOME & revamp Marvel super-team the X-Men in the same vein that JLA/JLU revamped the campy SuperFriends Series & took it to another level!

& did anyone catch the totally AWESOME guest appearance of a certain big ole Green Guy???? Could this mean we’ll see other cross-over appearances during this show’s run?….like ShellHead, Cap, S.H.I.E.L.D. & The Avengers?…Maybe even Spidey?……WOOHOO!!!! I feel like I’m ten again and I just turned 32!!!

I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooo unbelievably (or believably if you follow comics) tired of Wolverine being front and center in everything.

Sentinels and Gambit. This looks awesome. Shame I don’t have nickelodean and live in the UK. Also Professor X looked like Zordon.

Aye, I’m not really a big fan of Wolverine myself… I’ll try and give this a shot, but if its anything like the movies(which should have just been titled “wolverine”, for all it showed the other X-Men) I’ll have to pass on it. Thanks for the info, though.

Ok so there’s no Jean, hard to imagine the X-Men w/o her but ok I can deal with that, but what about Storm. She apparently survived the blast but we don’t see her anymore through the rest of the clip. Just Emma Frost??? Please tell me that Storm will be in this new series.
