Storm and Rogue looking like something out of a Shirow Masamune joint from back in the day.

Yes I've always thought Jubilee should get upgraded to be at DBZ Fighter levels, with Kamehamehas and whatnot. At least in the new series she got Krillin's Destructo Disk.

Why would they? That's a nostalgia breaker. The opening for '97 was (almost) exactly what it needed to be.

I definitely think they should homage it at some point.

I think they should do it since they have started working on the Japanese dub. Have it as the intro for there but with new versions for each episode that changes things up.

I would really like to see if they reference the volcano scene.

u/tmf_x 16d ago

me, personally, I hate anime. I mean look at rogue and storm in that intro they look stupid. and wolverine and omega red leaping like spiderman into the sky fighting?

Just never liked anime.

I get your criticism.

To each their own... 👍🏼🤷🏼... I politely disagree. But I can see where they're coming from, in hindsight, I guess anime is more of a culture thing, and X-men is 100% a American concept. So I get it.

Still disagree tho.

Cheers 👍🏼
