I think X-Men Evolution is the X-Men show appreciate most (despite still not liking every episode) because it feels like a revamped take on the one X-Men era I enjoyed: the original 60s era. That era works for me in a way no other era does. I like the lack of large scale villains (the x-men didn't really fight Galactus scale villains, and I was fine with that). I liked this era in a way I can't quite explain. But no other x-men era gets it's vibes down quite right. X-Men evolution proposes making some of the later 70s X-Men into teens like the o5, which works for me. Kind of wish the actual comics took that route, though. And I wish they didn't use world shattering threats like Apocalypse. The X-Men can just be the middleground between the global scale heroes and the more street level heroes. With how much Apocalypse and his ilk bores me, Magneto and his Brotherhood might be the only major X-Men villains who consistently interest me.
I've made like five posts recently all articulating the same point. I don't know how to feel about that, but I personally find it easier to deal with these posts than to deal with remembering my real world issues and stressors and completely losing focus to panic about them. That's worse than just repeating tiresome old thoughts over and over again, I suppose. Even if the old thoughts really are tiresome sometimes. That's a tangent that adds a more sour note to this post, but oh well. It's better for me to get this off my chest, I suppose.
