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.

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable, neither is supporting people who actively want to kill those groups. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.
