Remember that one? With the heavy shading, jerky action, Canadian voice cast and slavish recapitulation of all the Claremontean comic storylines from Giant-Sized-X-Men-1 to the crash-landing of Asteroid M? The one with Cable, Days of Future Past, Gyrich and even fricking Cameron Hodge and Genosha? I'm pretty sure they even did Age of Apocalypse.
Well, I got news for you, sunshine. Kids watched the hell out of that show. They watched it and they loved collecting those bits of trivia and they loved figuring out how everything interconnected and they loved finding out other bits by raiding comic bins and action figure boxes and they loved that it didn't talk down to them. An epic on their own terms.
I think the existence of a show like A:EMH bodes well for future generations. At least they're not watching a TV show made as a loose tie-in to a random Japanese CCG, where "character development" means "stats increase".
