I'm not one to be all pro-comic, but when it comes to animated things, I prefer the original better sometimes. This is one of those times. Wolverine and the X-Men is the 4th animated tier of the popular Marvel superhero mutant team: X-men. Hence the title, Wolverine is the main, and returning character.
Preceded by X-Men Evolution, the X-men team has disbanded, with many of its core members being either missing or going their separate ways. The government-powered Mutant Response Division was on the move to detain mutants, suit to favor the human protestors. This action causes Wolverine and fellow comrade Beast to team up one more and restore the X-men to glory. Along the way of finding Professor Xavier and Jean Grey, junior members of the X-men are recruited, along with the return of some of the original members.Many of the X-men sport wither new styles of their trademark clothing or a new outfit overall. Threats like the MRD, and the Inner Circle are prominent threats to the X-men while they continue their search.
This series, despite good intentions, kinda makes me weep. Props to giving Wolverine more screen time, but it just lacked the flair I had for the original. X-men Evolution was the same way, but I liked it a little. I don't like Wolverine and the X-men, but not enough to hate it. While it does not sit too well with me, I must say, I'd rather watch this than the now absent Speed Racer: The Next Generation. Good mindset, lackluster execution, so 4 of 10.
