Gotcha lol I for one never noticed anything that was outrageously out of whack with how things are now.
They didnt deal with USSR it was Russia, they bypassed dealing with the war in Iraq at the time and kept it about acceptance and teamwork.
Personally I think some people use words like dated, cleche, and ironic either way too loosely or completely inaccurately.
When men stop seeing movies because theres a "hot chick", movies will focus once again on story. -

Haha, I was expecting you to say "when a show from your childhood" is dated not "a show FROM BEFORE YOU WERE BORN."
It's not really weird tho, people feel this way all over. I sold some old toys to a young kid at a yard sale and he found it very strange that I was born in the previous century.
As far as what is dated: I think in retrospect the animation is a little jerky compared to newer cartoons, and Jubilee is veeery 90s, along with cyclops' chest-belts and everybody's big hair. Also, I just watched the "Sanctuary" episodes: Amelia has to sneak around Astroid M to find their library full of VHS tapes to verify what Cortez did or didn't do. The children of the internet will not understand this concept.
However, the voice acting, characterization, complex plot, and faithfullness to the comics are all still good. From what I remember of X-men Evolution it was trite and terrible. I saw a good portion of Wolvie and the X-men much later and it is alright but a little strange, and not that well animated, actually. So I suppose this is still the best cartoon X-men. -

Lol well I have sisters who are about 30 now so I personally wouldn't think you're a pensionerbut there are plenty of others who would
and I've known people who are about 25 and feel old haha. What makes me roll my eyes is people who convince themselves they're coffin dodgers at 30, don't know why people do that to themselves
Let's go inconspicuouslythrough the window. -

a program that came out the year you were born
Year you were
born?
I was 21 years old and a senior in college when I would drag myself out of bed at 9:58am (other housemates asleep), hit the den couch at our rental house, and fire up some
X-Men
at 10am, watching it alone. Not the maturest thing in the world, but a guilty pleasure and a colorful and pleasant way to start a Saturday. Later that year we even rented the original X-Men Sega Genesis video game. Innocent times
(I think so far I win this thread for oldness. Waiting on someone who was in his 30s or beyond to crush my testimony.)
