You know? I was rather disappointed. My wife and I just finished the entire 4 seasons of X-Men: Evolution and they didn’t kill Jean Grey once!!! I mean, seriously?!? How can it be X-Men without her being deceased. Even the movies had the decency to kill her twice.
Other than that, it was actually quite enjoyable. There were some significant shifts from canon. The Wolverine-Cyclops tension is missing and it did annoy me a bit that they wrote out Nightcrawler’s devoutness.
Still, it was really well done. The voicing is much better than the old ’94 series. Kitty seems most unchanged from the original material. There was a very nice tip of the hat to the Rogue-Gambit relationship. Storm was seriously badass and had the long flowing hair. No short crop or mohawk.
It looks like they were setting up the Phoenix story at the end. I would have been nice if they had been able to do it. If for no other reason than to get Jean killed at least once.
