I liked it, though the VA for Cyclops is not as good, and they took Rogue (with the same VA plus ~30 years) from "probably a little too southern" to straight-up "Dolly Parton lampooning herself on SNL."
Definitely captured the feel of an old Saturday Morning cartoon with just enough updates to feel fresh.
It’s not “worse”. Though it is different and does feel a little too clean.
But objectively in terms of the animation quality it is def not worse than the original. Go back and check out season 1 of the fox series. Wooo man they were on a budget and it showed.
I was talking to my wife about it. She likes how it is stylized to look like the original show, but personally I don't like how digital it still looks. They did a good job keeping true to the original style, and I know technology has advanced a lot, but something seems off not to me by using cels.
It seems to "clean" to me, but I might just be an animation nerd asking for too much
Is it because it's computer generated animation? That was the vibe I got, similar to a lot of the newer anime. It looks ok but something about it throws me off.
First episode for me was just meh. Definitely a recap to bring people back up to speed on things. 2nd episode went full throttle and if that’s the way they’re gonna approach the rest of the series, it’ll be a hit.
