In a third plotline, Wolverine and the X-Men also features the best representation of Genosha ever seen on the screen (it's also one of the only). This gives us two timelines to work with: Classic X-Men adventures in the present, and postapocalyptic adventures for Professor X in the future. Using telepathy, he communicates with the past, appointing Wolverine as the new leader of the X-Men and urging them to fix the future. Meanwhile, Professor X becomes conscious 20 years later in a dystopian future caused by Sentinels (giant, mutant-hunting robots). Meanwhile, a new paramilitary organization called the Mutant Response Division is formed and starts capturing mutants, causing Wolverine and Beast to get the gang back together. As a result, the X-Men disband: Cyclops spirals without Jean, Storm goes to Africa, and Iceman moves back home with his parents like a true millennial. The premise is instantly appealing: A mysterious event decimates the X-Men, causing Professor X and Jean Grey to disappear. Release on Nicktoons and pegged to the critically reviled X-Men Origins: Wolverine, the series was written off by many, but anyone who was fortunate enough to see it can attest to this show's many strengths. Wolverine and the X-Men premiered in 2009 and ran for a single, 26-episode season. I'm talking, of course, about Wolverine and the X-Men, the actual best X-Men show - and maybe the best superhero show ever - that never got the praise it deserved. But one underappreciated X-Men show that flew under the radar for many fans deserves another chance (and a second season). X-Men: The Animated Series will always be the pinnacle of Marvel animation, and X-Men: Evolution holds a special place in the hearts of the millennials who grew up with it. The huge roster of characters and sprawling adventures that barely fit into a feature-length film just make more sense as serialized stories.
There's something about the X-Men that lends itself to TV shows over movies.
