As far as I know it’s not embeddable, but you can catch it over at Comic Book Resources.
Couple of things I noticed:
- No Jean Grey (that’s a first)
- Crazy amount of mutant guest stars (Wolfsbane, Domino, Dust, Gambit, Multiple Man, Pyro, Maverick, Mojo)
- Iceman’s costume is sleeveless (?!), but I’m just glad he’s in the show
What I liked:
- Original X-Men in the team! (Minus Jean Grey). Huge fan of the original X-Men (Cyclops, Beast, Angel and Iceman), great to see they all have parts in it.
- The voice acting is pretty too. It reminds me of the old X-Men cartoons. Beast and Wolverine in particular sound the way they should.
- Many many mutants
What I didn’t like:
- The animation – granted there weren’t a LOT of action scenes, but somehow I’d imagined that if we’ve waited years for a new X-Men animated series, it’s be a lot cooler. Look at the Legion of Super Heroes cartoon, or Ben 10 or Avatar. They look much slicker in terms of animation efforts.
- The “plot” – can we see a new story please? Going back to Magneto and Sentinels really isn’t going to be interesting for very long. I honestly felt at some points of the trailer that I was watch the cartoon from the ’90s, with different art and voices
- The title – Wolverine and the X-Men? Really? I bet they just want to cash in on the Wolverine movie next year.
You can find the entry of Wolverine and the X-men on Wikipedia, but don’t get too hyped, it’s only slated to start early next year. Bummer.
