Because Fox didn't understand the X-Men.

This was the greatest piece of media to ever come out of comic books.

Ya but I'd imagine after waiting ten years your excitement level would still be about where it is today....

Unfortunately, this is a given. Those character designs kicked up a fuss even back then.Better not nerf them waifus.
No it wouldn't. Waiting 10 years after the show left I'd be still be excited to see how the visuals would be upgraded.
Today I'd be wondering if they are going to race or gender swap characters, if characters are now lgbtq, if they are going to add in characters for diversity, and if the current issues of today will be somehow be put in to the series. That is a completely different feeling of, to oh, this series that I loved as a child is coming back I wonder how it will look now.

They added user profile pics to Disney+ using these designs and they were shown in the announcement video. It's the same Jim Lee Blue/Gold team designs being used in the show.

Disappointing. I don't think the original holds up very well at all and would have preferred something new and unrelated.

I think you missed the joke homie but admittedly it would've taken more than a cursory glance to get it.
I honestly read it several times cause I couldn't quite understand where you were going with your reply so I took it as you being serious

They have the original voice actors which is a huge deal. Plus with today's technology we should get more fleshed out action scenes. Hoping they really nail this. They have 2 years.

Not holding my breath on this. Could be good but with Marvel's handling of animation series, not really forward to this

wouldn’t it be wild if they used their Claremont foundation, but moved on to adapt the Morrison or Hickman eras?
Not that I’d expect them to do that but you never know.

Actually they are only consulting. Head writer seems to be a guy from Netflix Witcher series.

Who asked for this? I know a lot of kids grew up with this show but what X-men fan want new episodes of an 30 year old (and lets be honest here, not exactly top quality) syndicated cartoon? Rather than a new one?
Also does this mean the lawsuit surrounding the opening theme has been settled? or are they going to make a new one?
‘X-Men’ Cartoon’s Theme Song Sparks Lawsuit Against Marvel, Disney, Amazon, Apple & Others
Marvel, Disney, Amazon and Apple are being sued over the 'X-Man' cartoon series theme song, which the suit says was stolen a 1980s Hungarian TV show.deadline.com
I definitely asked for this, bring this shit on!

And Professor X better be played by a bald man. You’re going to just give that part away to another bushy-headed white man when the voice acting industry is full of perfectly bald men?X-Men ‘97: Original Jubilee Alyson Court Confirms She Will Not Reprise Role, Wants Asian Voice Actress To Replace Her

Actually I wonder how the final product will look. Feels like it will end up looking too clean with modern animation techniques. The 90s animation style would probably cost a shit load to do now. Also the aspect ratio will probably be 16:9 not 4:3 like the original.
I enjoyed Spiderman and X-Men cartoons back then and loved how we had crossovers back then even though I didn't watch the standalone Iron Man cartoons and the other few I forgot.
I was hoping instead of this Marvel just made an Animated Cinematic Universe that's unrelated to MCU and instead of continuation we got a remake of Spiderman and XMen with major changes to improve script and action scenes. It wouldn't be a 1:1 remake but more like reboot.

This cartoon was a product of the 90's, today it would be cancelled as anti-woke. There's literally no way in 2021 it could be true to the original. If modern Disney applies modern woke thought to the new episodes this is going to be flaming dogshit.

If this post is too political then I apologize and the mods can delete it.
Anyways I'm not feeling too good about this revived show's chances right now. This is the new writer they have for the added episodes.
