Old School X-Men

Watching an old X-Men DVD – “Legend of Wolverine” – from the 90’s cartoon series – this is *so* funny. Interesting when compared with the modern “live action” movies. The voices for Wolverine and Beast in the cartoon are amazingly close to those from the movies – the rest are, well, don’t even ask. As Kitt points out, the personality of Scott is close to the one they showed in the movie.

One amazing difference that’s rather amusing to check out is Jean Grey – in the movies, she was cool and sexy, but very well clothed (yes, even in the third movie). In these cartoons (dating back to the 90’s) she’s wearing a flesh colored body suit with a “Brazilian Swim Suit” over the top. Well, it’s almost a Brazilian but it covers too much of her breasts… I can see why they changed the uniforms for the movie – in the words of Cyclops from the first X-Men movie:

“Well, what would you prefer? Yellow spandex? ”
