Great breakdown and comparison of both shows. I'm more forgiving of the Pryde of the X-Men pilot because I think the animation, while dated, still pops. The Juggernaut scene at the X Mansion flows well. But yeah, the story is a bit silly. And that Wolverine accent! What were they thinking?The 1990s show on the other hand got me, like millions of fans, into comics and Marvel, more broadly. I too will check out XM 97.

Thanks! Yeah, the animation was the best part of that first pilot.
Such a good post. I think that X-men release all looks a little knee jerk. Slow down and raise quality.
