Wolverine & The X-Men - 3 min preview of new animated series

I can't believe I am just now finding out about this. Check out the preview:

http://www.movieweb.com/tv/news/77/26277.php

Series/preview spoilers:
Spoiler:
Professor X and Jean Grey die. X-Men quit and go their own way. Years go by. Mutants run wild. Now Wolverine and Beast restart the X-Men. Cyclops is a wash up. Angel, Ice-Man, Shadowcat and Colossus are shown.

Quicksilver restarts the Brotherhood with Blob, Avalanche, Pyro, and Domino. Rogue joins the baddies.

Wow, that sounds interesting. And on top of that, completely original which seems utterly impossible given the source material and how frequently it has been used. Nothing similar has even been done in a one-off What If? story. Closest it sounds like is Days of Future Past, but still very different. I'll definitely check it out, hopefully the writing is as good as the premise.

The Foo in an X-men cartoon? i'm there!

animation looks decent. Glad they're not going with the new teen titan/transformers anime-style.

first i'd heard of it as well. What network will it air on?

Woah. Had no idea there was a new show on the horizon. Looks like a cool concept. Not terribly wowed by the animation, but if the stories are good, I won't care much.

I think the new Spiderman cartoon starts this spring, too.

That does look pretty good, but Marvel's had a terrible history with animation so i'm not getting my hopes up.

How in the heck did I not hear of this. I am a huge x-men fan. I think I was the only fan of the evolution series.

When it's good and ready, guy! That site doesn't give a timeline. I'd imagine it's either this spring or fall. They don't usually premiere new cartoons (on networks) during the summer.

I've known about it since Summer but there weren't a lot of updates.

The trailer looks really good.

Oh, and you certainly aren't the only evolution fan.

I think the Cartoon Network will pick it up, but no word on that yet.

When will they stop making Logan so tall? I do like they went with a modified version of the yellow/blue costume.
Spoiler:
Is Pyro a good guy to start? In the trailer, he's sided with Wolverine. And what is the cloud figure that looks like it's following the Blackbird.

looks good and I sounded like Michael Ironside doing voicework for one of the characters.

I like the part with Kitty Pryde phasing the helicopter into the mansion. And it looks to me like they have left room to bring Jean and Prof X back just like the comics. Could be a cool thread to run through the entire series.

Looks pretty cool. I hate the character design though.

I love it. It has a dark tone to it. finally. Hope Remy shows up. Nice Soundgarden sountrack. I hope it has hard over the top action like the Justice League series had.

I would love it if this was actually on one of the major networks.

Are there any widescreen cartoons out there yet?

JLU was widescreen wasn't it?
I think Justice League started out 4x3, but then went Widescreen at some point. I think all of JLU was widescreen.
