In defense of the original show in the 90s, very little western animation I was aware of was remotely smooth and slick at the time, and compared to the cartoons of just a few years earlier, X-MEN looked incredible. Granted I was in the prime age demographic at the time, so seeing the comic pages on screen was amazing on its own.
I agree that looking back, the 90s episodes were very stiff by modern standards.

Another good episode yesterday. Not as intense as episode 5, but great storytelling. No surprises plotwise to anyone who's familiar with Claremont's X-MEN run, but very enjoyable nonetheless.

Confessor If one doesn't already exist, this sounds like a topic for a The Kynd song. Just saying.

I also think Cable will come into play somehow. They didn't show him for nothing, but with as serious as this has been so far, I could see Beau not opting for an easy reset button. Either way, I'm interested in where they take it.
I have mixed feelings on the voice acting. Well, less the acting and more the voices. I'm torn because I would have hoped all of the surviving voice actors would have come back (and quite a few did!). Many of the voices, while similar, sound somewhat off from the originals. On the other hand, most of the returning voice actors sound different, anyway. And of course they do. It's been 30 years. Rogue's is the most jarring and the only one I'd say sounds out of place for the character, but her acting is great.
Minor nerd nitpick of "not all of the voices sound literally identical" aside, the performances are great.

I've just deleted a post (and several subsequent posts quoting it). I want to be very clear that, while difference of opinion and respectful discourse is critical to the health of this community, there are certain topics that are not up for discussion; certain intolerent perspectives that will not be entertained here. One such perspective is that there is a "Homosexuality Crisis". Suggesting that the mere existence of any non-violent, non-hateful group of people constitutes a "crisis" is ignorant, intolerant, hateful and (frankly) disgusting. The Mod Team will be reaching out to the responsible party after discussing further. For now, some posts have been deleted. Sheesh. You go to sleep for a couple hours and miss all the drama. Jk Thanks for keeping the streets clean here.

That’s similar to how I felt about the Obi-Wan show. Especially with the flexibility offered by streaming, it would be much better to make the content length fit the story rather than try to fill any arbitrary number of episodes or duration.

Hey all, sorry I've been away for a while. We had family in town for nearly two weeks including a trip to see the eclipse in the path of totality, and then the post-company reset and crash. Suffice to say I've been various levels of busy and beat, but things are getting close to as normal as they get around here now. I'm sorry for the recent struggles, all. Confessor I can't even imagine how frustrating that must be for all of the reasons stated. As others have said, nothing to be done about it now but rest up and be ready for the next one.

I enjoyed The Last Jedi somewhat at the time, but it's soured since. Rise of Skywalker was a beautiful, gloriously polished turd. Incredibly well-produced and visually pretty garbage. The Force Awakens was good as a reintroduction and the unspoken promise of the next two films to tell a compelling story, but seeing how the other two went, it's largely pointless at best now. I'm sticking to my recently rediscovered EU . At least the good early ones. I've heard Andor is incredible, but knowing what happens in Rogue One it just seems kind of pointless to watch. I'm sure that's silly. I liked the first two seasons of Mandalorian. I haven't watched the third yet, but I am turned off at how they instantly walked back the big status quo change at the end of Season 2. I may eventually check out some of the animated shows since I've never gotten around to them, but aside from the now-legends EU novels and the OT, I'm over the Skywalker era for a bit. Maybe someday I'll go back, but no SW content I've seen aside from the Thrawn/Zahn Heir to the Empire trilogy comes close to capturing the feel of the originals. Granted I've not seen all of it.
