Oh, shit! by gigantis2000	Feb 4th, 2008 07:28:26 PM
FIRST MOTHERFUCKERS!
Is the link not working for anyone else? by Lyghthouse	Feb 4th, 2008 07:30:21 PM
Cause I'm not connecting to jack.
Oh, and... by gigantis2000	Feb 4th, 2008 07:30:51 PM
I guess considering the demographic it does look pretty cool. In general, though, it looks like Wolverine is being made into too much of a hero, like in X3. We all know how bad that was... I'll be skeptical until I actually watch some of it. Could be good, could suck. We'll see.
Link: working? by gigantis2000	Feb 4th, 2008 07:33:08 PM
I can't seem to access it right now, but I had already seen it earlier, so...
nope, not working by isther	Feb 4th, 2008 07:36:02 PM

Any other links to it? by Pr_Frink	Feb 4th, 2008 07:37:08 PM
I love the Foo Fighters and the X-Men so I would really like to see this. Soon.
man i sent that to herc and no cred? by tranpkp1	Feb 4th, 2008 07:38:54 PM
BOO :(
Holy crap!! by Lyghthouse	Feb 4th, 2008 07:39:23 PM
I've long been bored to death with the X-Men, but that trailer actually made me interested again. I'm glad to see characters going through some actual change, including Wolverine.
Decent... by Brians Life	Feb 4th, 2008 07:39:27 PM
Hmm...looked decent. The animation might be a bit choppy, but that trailer didn't give any clear indication of the movements....Marvel's cartoons have never really WOWed me. Not like WOW...which I should go play. HAHHA
anybody know when it comes out? by tranpkp1	Feb 4th, 2008 07:39:36 PM
IMDB doesnt say
link is right, it's just agonizingly slow by freydis	Feb 4th, 2008 07:44:59 PM
and takes 5-6 tries.
Finally by Pr_Frink	Feb 4th, 2008 07:52:49 PM
Got it to work. And it looks pretty good. I do think the use of Foo Fighters makes it look even better than it might actually be but I still want to see it.
great more Wolverine! by simndermot	Feb 4th, 2008 07:54:41 PM
Great, one more thing to see Wolverine in. Go ahead Marvel, put him in everything, he isn't even close to being over-exposed. Three X-men movies focused mainly on him, he is in every damn comic Marvel puts out, and is getting his own movie. Marvel, you do realize you have a few other characters people like, right?
6-12 year olds my ass!!! by jabberwockey	Feb 4th, 2008 07:57:29 PM
From what i can see it looks like they are developing the story line that got the x-men to their peak in the mid-nineties. There are sure to be a few changes in the maturity level of the story arc if they look at the neilson demographics and find that they are tracking well with the older crowd ie: ME! If they can live up to or even exceed the nineties X-men cartoon i'll sit on my geeky ass and watch it.
some of the parts looked cheesy and well... by Datascream	Feb 4th, 2008 08:07:04 PM
foo fighters really made this trailer terrible. It looks kind of interesting, but I'm looking forward mostly to the new Justice League DVD.
Mid nineties? by Toonol	Feb 4th, 2008 08:17:53 PM
X-Men peaked in the 80s, man. The nineties was the trembling spasms of their lingering death.
THE NINETIES CARTOON KICKED ASS!! by melthebloody	Feb 4th, 2008 08:24:32 PM
DEATH, WHAT DEATH? THE XMEN NEVER DIED, HOMESLICE!!! PEOPLE NEED TO STOP HATING ON WOLVERINE...MARVEL KNOWS WHERE THE MONEYS AT, AND ITS ON WOLVERINE!!
The link works, but it's slow as shit. by Shermdawg	Feb 4th, 2008 08:29:15 PM
And speaking of shit, I hope they don't push the Cyclops/White Queen romance. Other than that...and the lack of Colossus, it looks cool...assuming how much you can stomach Wolverine as "leader".
That was pretty sweet -- Looks Astonishing X-Menish by jimbojones123	Feb 4th, 2008 08:31:11 PM
And pretty sweet. Much better then the "X-Men:Evolution" crap they threw out between X-men and X-2.
I disagree with Wolvie as a straight arrow bad -- by jimbojones123	Feb 4th, 2008 08:34:50 PM
I'm actually kinda tired of the 30 years of angst... Nice to see the guy get his shit together instead of whining about stuff that's decades old and no longer important to anybody.
Once again, Evolution WAS NOT CRAP. by Shermdawg	Feb 4th, 2008 08:43:03 PM
Did you see some of the later episodes, including the Apocalypse finale? Good stuff.
jimbo, by ditching that angst... by Shermdawg	Feb 4th, 2008 08:45:35 PM
...you're ditching what made the character, and are pushing Cyclops, the character that nearly every majo storyline revolved around even further to the side.
Looks worse than X Men 3 by skywalkerfamily	Feb 4th, 2008 08:46:27 PM
Suck on that True believers!
Yup I've gone through my X-Men comic stash.. by Aphex Twin	Feb 4th, 2008 08:53:50 PM
..and while Wolverine was a big part of the team, he was still a member of a TEAM. For once I'd like on X-men film/show to focus on other members instead of Wolverine. Last I heard Wolverine wasn't the only mutant running around.
working link ne1? by SkidMarkedUndies	Feb 4th, 2008 09:23:07 PM
Please?
more wolverine by themidnighter23	Feb 4th, 2008 09:23:22 PM
means more boring
OOOOooooooo... by ajbopp	Feb 4th, 2008 09:30:33 PM
...an even crappier version of Justice League. Whoopee.
X-Meninmation by XoanonTORN	Feb 4th, 2008 09:33:23 PM
The link worked for me, but it was slow. I liked it, would love to see a balls out, adult X-men cartoon, adult in themes..not in porno...well..no..not porno. I have the Ultimate Avengers II, that was good..and I loved the 90's cartoon as well..and I dig Batman Beyond..so I may check this out if I see it available, or the wifey snags it up for me at work (awww yeah, gotta love a wife in 'the business....freebies!!)

Nice
i wonder if they stole the foo tunes by Jubba	Feb 4th, 2008 09:47:16 PM
and will get sued?
Was that back guy supposed to be Forge? by ShiftyEyedDog2	Feb 4th, 2008 09:53:10 PM
He says Forge gets tortured, but that guy was black. Forge was not. gotta say, though. this looks kick-ass.

hot damn that will kick ass by Mr. Mcpoops	Feb 4th, 2008 10:04:58 PM
The cartoon from the early 90's was great.

The man you brought you Batman the Animated series, only the best cartoon on TV!
fyi, the other music in the trailer by detuned	Feb 4th, 2008 10:34:46 PM
sevendust right at the beginning and soundgarden in between the two foo songs
X-Men Evolution... by Osmosis Jones	Feb 4th, 2008 10:37:13 PM
...had the SEXIEST version of Rogue ever.
Someone has put it on YouTube too by BrandLoyalist	Feb 4th, 2008 11:37:13 PM
That site's very slow for me, but looks like there's also: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =SkFt_mmDQhQ Animation looks like X-Men: Evolution, and that's a good thing for sure. This looks like an improvement: wish that show hadn't been set in a high-school era... not that I have any sense of shame when it comes to comic-based toons :P . Speaking of which, I think Herc deliberately left The Amazing Spider-Man off his premiers list... March 1!
TIME TO GET GEEKY... by Sudynim	Feb 4th, 2008 11:46:31 PM
and by that I mean discusing group dynamics in a fictional world. I can see the Avengers disbanding but not the X-men. They're like a family almost and I don't see them ever abandoning each other. And to tell you the truth, I really hate the archetype of the "gone-from-the-glory-days-but- we're-rejoining-to-try-to-capt ure-some-of-that-faded-stardus t" story. Like in GhostBusters II, just wasn't as good as the first.
Holy fucking shit!! That's HOT!!! by DarkHawke	Feb 4th, 2008 11:47:50 PM
Your eyes do NOT deceive you, Herc! DAAAAYYYYMMMMM!!! Christ Almighty, it's a genuine thrill to get all hyped up about a cartoon again! It looks like we've got some legit talent on this one, AND it's not been done all "anime"-style to appeal to the young'uns! Obviously can't say for sure from here, but it looks like they're following on ot the EXCELLENT X-Men Evolution series, and that can't be anything but GREAT! Keep up wit da newz on this one. I DEMAND to know when I can see it!
Too tall!! by veebeeyes	Feb 4th, 2008 11:50:13 PM
Come on, Wolverine is support to be a short dude. Like, shorter than me! He's only like 5'1".
Aside from some poor music choices it looks good. by silentbobfan	Feb 4th, 2008 11:51:55 PM
I like that even though Wolverine's name is in the title the rest of the X-Men don't seem to get downplayed too much. I could've cared less when I first heard about this, especially after the terrible Fantastic Four series on Cartoon Network and that horrible Spider-Man series on MTV. Now I'm interested.
I mean "supposed" to be short. by veebeeyes	Feb 4th, 2008 11:54:13 PM
I need support with my writing.
"Your sons a Mutant. Deal with it." by br1947	Feb 4th, 2008 11:58:43 PM
THAT'S FUCKIN' WOLVERINE! Cranky, direct, no screwin' around. I'll see this just because of that one line.
It's getting easier and easier to spot the plants. by Shermdawg	Feb 5th, 2008 12:30:22 AM

WHY by Rufferto	Feb 5th, 2008 12:36:19 AM
Why can't the art look like this for Spectacular Spider-man? The art for that show is disgusting! That's going to be The Batmanesque over rated garbage but this THIS I'll watch. I think Wolverine has a good voice that reminds me of 90's Logan. It looks like X-men Evolution but I can tell it will be better then it. But we'll see how much better.
That line's going in the collection, br1947 by BrandLoyalist	Feb 5th, 2008 12:37:53 AM
Though I don't dispute that it's very badass and very Wolverine -- X-Men dialog about mutants can sound very funny out of context, and I happen to be the proud owner of a small .wav collection of unintentionally funny lines about mutants from the 90s cartoon. "You were elected to protect us from mutants!" "Help us... to fulfill my dream... working for a better future for all... mutant and human alike." "It's true. I am a mutant." And many more. Looking forward to grabbing some more when this starts up, heh heh.
I MEAN by Rufferto	Feb 5th, 2008 12:39:37 AM
I actually don't think the art is great but it is watchable and something I can get used to.
wha...? by zati1	Feb 5th, 2008 12:54:36 AM
did we watch the same trailer? I didn't see Emma Frost putting on lipstick or Forge getting tortured...

Kitty and the Chopper. by the crucible	Feb 5th, 2008 03:36:06 AM
My god, why couldn't that have been in one of the movies? That is great.
As much as I enjoy Foo Fighters and Soundgarden... by rbatty024	Feb 5th, 2008 07:10:05 AM
it didn't exactly fit the feel of the show. Let's hope there aren't too many pop songs in the actual episodes. Other than that I'm hoping for something better than The Batman. Ever since Justice League went off the air superhero cartoons have been pretty shitty.
Gods damn it! Where is Colosuss? by SID 8.0	Feb 5th, 2008 09:20:44 AM
When will they learn to put Peter on the team right from the start? They always dick around and introduce him way into the series. More of him in X-Men 3 could have saved that train wreck. Him and the Juggernaut going at it would have been classic.
The entire premise... by tomorrowlight	Feb 5th, 2008 10:10:28 AM
Sounds like a total misunderstanding of the characters in X-men. It'll have a higher FAIL content than joe quesada's record with women. Man he's ugly.
Where the hell was Emma? by The Founder	Feb 5th, 2008 10:11:59 AM
Isn't she supposed to be in this. Where was she?
I kept expecting Wolverine to say... by Evil Lincoln	Feb 5th, 2008 10:32:01 AM
...next on Naruto...
my first thought by oisin5199	Feb 5th, 2008 12:59:44 PM
was that that trailer was more kickass and true to the characters than the entirety of X3. I love that it showed an actual story arc and this wasn't just an 'adventures of'. And that it was a well-rounded selection of characters (points for Domino!). I loved the "your son's a mutant. Deal with it" line. And Cyclops blasting Wolverine out of his apartment. Not quite as good as the bedroom scene in Astonishing. But still pretty cool for kids. This may be the first Marvel show for kids in the last 10 years I might actually watch. Couldn't stomach the cg Spiderman and FF cartoons, which were way too dumbed down.
None of these links have worked. by 3 Bag Enema	Feb 5th, 2008 03:36:59 PM
I'm not seeing the video anywhere. Is this how aintitcool treats it's readers? Sheesh.

Working link by HessenRoots	Feb 5th, 2008 05:55:59 PM
http://www.movieweb.com/vid eo/V08B45djkwBHVY pull the space out of course...works fine and the video is actually there as of 2/5.
Oisin5199, the trailer was just LIKE X3... by TheGhostWhoLurks	Feb 5th, 2008 07:46:15 PM
Wall-to-wall action, Scott despondent and useless without Jean, Brotherhood vs. X-Men vs. mankind, Xavier apparently blasted to hell, one of the X-Men joins the Brotherhood... You can't claim to love one while hating the other, especially when this cartoon has so obviously ripped off so much from the last film. Just like the whole "You're son's gay/a mutant" thing was stolen from X2.
That looked like shit by kyle051554	Feb 6th, 2008 12:13:03 AM
Jesus Christ. I think we need to get the guy who did the Clone Wars animated series on Cartoon Network (Gennedy Tartarofsky? Something like that?) to make an X-Men animated series. THAT would be cool. This seems just like that X-Men: Evolution show from a few years back, except somehow worse.

Wolverine and the X-Men Animated Series TRAILER STILL UP by spiderken2	Feb 6th, 2008 01:52:59 PM
ck it out at www.collider.com
ghostwholurks by oisin5199	Feb 6th, 2008 03:24:46 PM
sorry, but I certainly can like one and hate the other. Watch me. Sure, some of the major beats are the same, but Wolverine's confrontation with Cyclops in that trailer had way more emotional resonance and was more true to the characters than X3, which totally wasted Scott as a character, wussified Wolverine, and rushed over every chance to make the story count for something. This just looks like better writing than X3, period. Like these guys actually read an X-Men comic.
plus coolness that X3 didn't have by oisin5199	Feb 6th, 2008 03:26:37 PM
Domino, Quicksilver, Blob (the real one, not some visual joke), a Rogue that actually matters to the plot. Need I go on?
You know what's nice? by rutgersjaffo	Feb 6th, 2008 03:59:32 PM
The fact that they haven't milked the HELL out of the Woverine character for like the past 25 years of my life. Jeez...
meh... by fanboy71	Feb 6th, 2008 06:23:53 PM
But my 11 year old might like it.
better than the movie? by NinjaChampion	Feb 6th, 2008 10:23:13 PM
had to go to youtube, no trailer at the link. Kind of liked the idea of Wolverine being the one to get the team back together. Nice change of pace. I'm not getting my hopes up, but as a long time x-fan there are still a lot of things I want to see that hasn't made it in the movies or cartoons yet.
does anyone know if the foo trailer is still available? by B2	Feb 22nd, 2008 04:11:04 AM
