Yep, I made a post about the new X-Men show a while back (actually, I think you commented on it, lol), I've seen the first seven episodes in English and the whole first season in Portuguese (admittedly with the sound off, but it's pretty easy to tell what's going on). Personally, I'm not all that thrilled with it...they basically make all the other characters totally asstarded in order to make Wolvie look all specialrific...and he's completely out of character, as well.
I wish they'd used Scott McNeil again, personally. I don't really like any of the voices, or the character designs, for that matter. The girls look like Bratz dolls with huge scary balloon tits and the guys just look...weird. As one person put it, Kitty looks like she stuck her hand in a light socket. XD
Also, it should be out in January on Nicktoons here in the states. I'm hoping the second season won't suck as much as the first...:/
Episode six was a nice change of pace, though...we not only got almost 100% Nightcrawler awesomeness, but we got a break from the monotony of "ZOMG, Logan! You are so full of awesome and win and we are so teh stoopid and fail! We'd be lost without you!". But like everyone else, I hate Kurt's characterization, his voice, and his character design. Blech. :/
Sammy was fucking adorable, though. I don't know why they chose to resurrect and reinvent his character, but they did a good job in his case. Why they couldn't apply the same awesomeness to the rest of the series, I have no idea, but it pisses me off. :/
"Oh fuck, oh fuck, OH FUCK! I'M GONNA DIE! D:" (As a side note...laaaaaaaaaaaaaawl! They gave him Teven hair. Bwahahaha. XD)
Here, have a foot sandwich!
On the plus side, they did a fucking amazing job on his teleportation, especially in episode 6.
Thanks for the heads up on the Death Note movies, by the way. I, like your mother, really hate subtitles, too. Having autism makes it a pain in the ass to pay attention to more than one input at a time. :D
Ah, I was wondering if it was the same series you were talking about earlier! What did they do to Kurt's/Nightcrawler's design o~O?! He looks all ghostly now ;(! You're right. He's so much cuter and awesome in the old X-Men: Evolution!
I thought it was going to be airing on KidsWB, but I guess not =/. If that's the case, maybe Nickelodeon insisted they redesign everyone to look different from the original series? On the other hand, Nickelodeon might not have had any say in anything ;b.
The first Death Note movie is out on DVD either dubbed or subbed, so I'm pretty sure you could find it on the net easily. The second one should be out soon on DVD too.
Khary (http://www.kharupt.com/) did the character designs for Wolverine And The X-Men, as well as about a bazillion other things, including the newer TMNT show. His stuff is normally freaking awesome, I don't know why they had him do such asstarded designs. :/ I was actually looking forward to seeing his stuff in this, but it's really terrible. Meh.
YES! I HATE what they did to Kurt's design especially. Probably the only two characters that look better are Hank and Forge...but Forge looks like a white guy and I hate Hank's uniform. I also miss his monkey hand-feet from Evolution, as well.
Another thing I forgot to mention is they're trying to make it all The Dark Night/Batman Begins/Gotham Knight-ish, and it really doesn't work well for the X-Men. I mean, seriously...when the fuck did they decide to make Wolverine into Batman, anyway? -_- I always though Wolvie was like Batman on crack, but like...yeeeah. Let's not get carried away, here! I only thought that jokingly. >_<
The X-Men aren't fucking Batman, goddammit. Two totally different concepts. Batman is this film noir inspired vigilante, and the X-Men are a motley crew of misfits bound together by a need for survival and one man's dream that they might one day be accepted into society.
If you don't believe me about the Batman wannabe-ness, check out the trailer Nicktoons has up: http://nicktoonsnetwork.nick.com/home.html (fair warning, this thing uses a boatload of flash for some retarded reason.)
It's entertaining, but I definitely like Evolution better. :/ The worst Evolution did was try to be too "cool" and "hip" or whatever at times, which was kind of annoying...but like, the superficial flaws in Evo were nothing compared to the fundamental flaws in this one. Meh. -_-
Bah, the Nicktoons website is giving me grief X(! I clicked HERE not THERE! Stupid website --;!
Yeah, Wolvie is definitely NOT Batman ;b. Batman is emo about his parents. Wolvie just slices and dices.
I HOPE Nickelodeon actually airs in consistently somewhere on their schedule instead of moving it around all over the place or stop airing it for months on end like it did for Avatar. Nickelodeon needs to STOP showing me episodes of Spongebob Squarepants all the time >=/!
My name is Bruce Wayne. You killed my father. Prepare to die!libby_rustOctober 25 2008, 04:49:52 UTC
I hates me some piss-colored sponge. I really do. I couldn't agree with you more there. -___________-
Lol, you reminded me I gotta downloads me some Avatar after uTorrent finishes the stuff I've got going currently. I'm downloading me some Wham!, Information Society, and Zeromancer. ^-^ It probably wouldn't be so bad if my computer were a bit faster...my connection is full of awesome and win.
OH! Did you know IMDB is showing full episodes of various TV shows and movies for free? o.O I've been catching up on House, M.D. with it. There are a bunch of anime shows and movies up there, including Death Note, but most seem to be in the original Japanese with subtitles, and I prefer them dubbed in English.
Both IMDB and Marvel use the same kind of Flash shit that YouTube does, so if you have problems with that, you might not want to give this a try. Hopefully they'll put up season 4. This isn't the same quality as the DVDs, but it's nice to have. :)

Hi Libby,
Ooo, thanks for the links 8D! I LOVE House, M.D.! He's the most lovable @$$ that ever existed XD! He taught me how to get a steak for the price of a salad. I have yet to try his method though ;b!

I don't remember which episode it was specifically, but it was a season 1 episode. Hopefully, you'll run into it soon!
