[Hellion]

My thread's still alive? Yes! t:

Best Thread Ever!

 

[Mr. Socko]

I always loved the main X-Men theme from this show. I hear subtle hints of it in the score of the films.

 

[Logan's Runt]

Happy 15th anniversary!! I wish to God this series was out on DVD.

You can get the entire series on DVD. I have it, and its heaven. t:

 

[TheVileOne]

Are you referring to the barebones style DVD's of the series that were released on DVD around 2000-ish?

 

[Logan's Runt]

Define 'barebones.' ?

It doesn't have any 'director talks over the episodes about pointless crap no one cares about,' but it has all the episodes and the awesomely horrible Pryde of the Xmen.

 

[union_jak]

Logie's talking about the bootleg set that I also have.

No extras at all. Just about 5 episodes per release. No Pryde of the X-men. If it had that, that would be an extra.

 

[BMM]

Awesomely horrible Pryde of the X-Men? Blasphemy.

 

[Eternalzero]

Does anyone remember the alternate credits to the show? There used to be a set of credits that looked so amazing...almost like anime of the time. It was definetly different animation than the rest of the show.

Anyone know what I'm talking about? Might've been on UPN's run of the show.

The one I've got has 6 disks, and all 76 episodes + Pryde of the Xmen.

Awesomely horrible Pryde of the X-Men? Blasphemy.

Adorably terrible?

 

[Abaddon]

I love the Pryde of the X-Men intro.

 

[newwaveboy87]

i :heart: Pryde of the X-Men

One Man's Worth, best X:TAS ep(s) ever.

also, my favorite Wolvie quote:
"Hey Tin Man! I'm sending you back to Oz...in pieces!"
:jumps on top of Sentinel:

serious pwnage.

 

[The Caped Knight]

I loved this series, Wolverine was such a badass character . Cal Dodd brought so much to the role as a voice actor .

[Abaddon]

I've rewatched some episodes and Apocalypse was really lame.

 

[BMM]

Impudent insect.

 

[newwaveboy87]

I've rewatched some episodes and Apocalypse was really lame.

this is different from the comic books because how...?

 

[The Caped Knight]

I loved The SPIDER-MAN & X-Men Crossover episodes

The Mutant Agenda & The Mutants' Revenge

Having Peter & Logan team up was awesome .

 

[newwaveboy87]

having consistent character animation, and a lack of coloring problems on the X-Men was even better.

 

[The Caped Knight]

By Far Wolverine had the best lines in this series .

Wolverine: What's the matter? Teacher's pet got cold feet? Anytime, pretty boy!

Wolverine: [to Gambit] Outta the way, Gumbo!

Wolverine: It's adamantium tasting time, boys!

Wolverine: I'm taking this maggot outta here, one way or the other!

Sabretooth: What's wrong, Wolverine? No kiss and make up?
Wolverine: Kiss this!
Wolverine: You always were second best! And in this business, Bub, second best don't *cut* it!

Wolverine: Ducks... I *hate* ducks.

Wolverine: [to The Blob] Okay, round-boy, let's dance!

Wolverine: Hey, Tin Woodsman! I'm sending you back to Oz... in pieces!

[a Hellfire Club guard is pointing a gun at Wolverine]
Wolverine: I know what you're thinkin', punk: "Question is, can I get Wolverine before he turns me into shishkabob with those claws?" Well, bub, seein' as how these claws are adamantium, the strongest metal known, and can slice through vanadium steel like a hot knife through butter, buddy, you gotta ask yourself: "Do I feel lucky?"

Wolverine: [the X-Men try to stop Wolverine from leaving] I go where I wanna go.

Wolverine: Didn't anybody ever tell you, you don't kick a man when he's down, hairbag!
Hairbag: Hey, who told ya my name? You making fun of me? Nobody makes fun of Hairbag!

Wolverine: Let me up, or I'll rearrange your windpipe!

Wolverine: You kids better behave yourselves. I'm staying home to baby sit.

[Wolverine has just found out the government is releasing Omega Red]
Wolverine: Who do those spy catchers think they're dealin' with? Winnie the Pooh?

[to Sabretooth]
Wolverine: All right, you egg-suckin' piece of gutter trash! You always did like pushin' around people smaller than you! Well I'M smaller! Try pushin' me!

 

[BMM]

There are a ton of memorable quotes from The Animated Series, although a lot of them aren't memorable for the right reasons. Apocalypse is the king of comical dialogue.

"I know more about this world than you have ever dreamed. That is why I must destroy it."

...what the Hell does that even mean?

 

[ComicChick]

the animated series drew me into the world of X, and I'm still here after all these years.

Night of the Sentinels will always be dear to me, because they were the first. (who else got those tapes from pizza hut back in the day)

Rogue's always been my fave character and I really liked how she was played with brass and sass on that show, spouting out country bumpkin lines like

'more nervous than a cat in a room full of rocking chairs'

And Gambit's voice was great. That's how I always imagined him to sound. Smooth and suave
