This series doesn't mince words with the comic. If you are looking for cheesy characters and the same old story line as the comics go for the 90's episodes. If your going for something new and a revitilized x-men than watch this. This is a new day for mutants and shows the trouble of high school teenage mutants. My son and I watch it and both enjoy it, so it is good from 4 yr's old to 27. Those of us who have been reading for a while will recognize and be amazed by how many chaaracters are brought to the new generation that we remember from our youth. really a great show and worthwile buy.

The first season of this show was where it started. The sceond season was when it started to get reall good. All of these episodes are good but i'm kinda getting bored with Badda-Bing Badda-Boom. Tabitha is a good charcter and she comes back to the institute in the third season. She leaves the brotherhood house when Mystique came back. She wasn't happy to learn that Avalanche had tried to join the X-men but she soon straightens them out. Power Surge focuses on Jean and her teleapthy problem. The team helps her get under control soon. This is a great bunch of episodes and i'm sad that the series was cancelled. It's still on Cartoon Network though.

Unfortunately, the WB is very poor at marketing DVDs for their animated series. This show is best viewed as a series, and it would have made more sense to simply come out with the entire second season on 1 DVD than simply throw a few episodes on a disc. That being said, if you can't wait for them to do that, I recommend grabbing this DVD. No extra features are included, but the show is one of the best comic book adapatations I've seen.

Looks like you didn't give the series a chance. Jubilee is in fact in season 2, have not you seen the fireworks? She is there with Iceman, Cannonball, Berserker, Magma, and others. Gambit comes later along with Pyro and Colossus when the time for Apokalips is at hand. So if your gonna post a reveiw, make sure you got your facts right okay. Toodles

Evolution....Its just a lame remake of the original which was the best. Its all too modernized and too kiddy cartoon. Everyting has been modified for the lil kids. I recommend the old 90's xmen. I dont knwo why they dont put out more expisodes on dvd.

X-men Evolution is simply the best animated series in years, better than the 90's series, and will be enjoyed by people who may never have read the comic but liked the movies, whatever age you are (I'm 26). It is Xtremely well animated, the characters have depth, and you do care what happens to them. Good storylines, good voice acting, good humour for young and old to appreciate. Overall a very mature animated series and not kiddy-ish or comicbook-ish - just like the movies! Long may it run!

I liked the 90s X-Men series. This has some of the characters from the comics but it's mostly all a bunch of characters who arn't in the comics. It doesn't have Gambit in it and it doesn't have Jubilee. If you're an X-Men fan don't get this.

I had watched the original X-men on TV when it played on TV and enjoyed it - but I really wasn't a HUGE fan of X-men until the first movie came out (>dreamy sigh< Wolverine is so cool) and then Evolution came out and I was beyond hooked. I was helpless against it. The new images of the characters as more 'friendly looking' (in my opinion) and the light humor that plays about it more than in the previous show (though it's just as good). But I do agree that the DVD's shoudl have been marketed for the older viewers, though, my three year old little boy calles Wolverine "the cool guy". Anyway, overall it's the best non-anime cartoon I've ever seen!! (best show in my opinion - Inu-Yasha - check it out!) So, get it (both of them) watch it and ENJOY!

My son loves super heroes and now it's the X-Men. This newer version of the X-Men is a great success. The characters are well developed, the stories are thoughtful, yet playful and of course, there's just enough action to keep the little one's wishing they were Wolverine. This show is less violent than the older, "uncanny' X-Men cartoon; which is actually better for the younger ones. I really like the show as well, and I didn't think I would (as a die-hard fan of the 'uncanny X-Men' cartoon series several years ago.)

Our only mistake is that we bought the video instead of the DVD. The Video does include all that the networks seem to have cut out when they broadcasted the cartoon (the introduction, which often helps the story line) We also bought some of the past releases on videos (they are only available on video), but the sound quality in the beginning was a bit distorted. However, each story plays perfectly and the tape in tact.

It would be great if they would bring back this cartoon in the day time (PST) and had X-Men evolution 'stuff' AND bring back the comic book series that was based on this show. IT made great bedtime reading for a 5 year old and would be great for any young reader just begining to read on his/her own.
