I loved those old 90’s cartoons that didn’t try to make the themes and storylines not too dark and complex for children. Reboot, Gargoyles, Batman from what I can remember… there were others but I’m old and I can’t remember.
i think it’s the opposite. the best ones didn’t talk down to children and weren’t afraid to go to some darker themes, if the story would better be served as such, not for the sake of being edgy. that’s the difference between good 90s shows and the dumb cynical shit zack “having a moral code is childish” snyder comes up with.
x-men dealt with racism, terrorism, loss of family, abduction, all sorts of shit. it was never cynical though. had a strong moral code, was full of hope and love and heart. the finale still makes me cry multiple times.
Interesting writing aside, this was also the season Marvel outsourced animation to a tiny Filipino studio to save money during their impending bankruptcy.
yeah the animation quality was pretty mediocre, but magneto leaving his dream position to help his lifelong frenemy, and xavier’s farewell speech to the x-men… damn, they’re so good.
Rogue, unable to touch, yet look around you… You will find you have touched us all.
