Phoenix, Dark Phoenix and Apokalypse stories are horrible, Lilandra and the Shi’ar are stupid, aliens and Earth mutants shouldn’t happen. The rest are decent adaptions of good stories
Batman has continuity, and before TNBA simplified and stylized art was detailed. Not sticking to continuity as strongly as X-Men did made it easier to choose which episode to watch without the complex need to watch every episode before it to get the plot, and they are stronger
#14 If you’re going to say X-men had terrible stories, you’re implying that the X-men comics sucks, since 90% of the show was direct adaptations from the comics. That alone is one of the reasons I love the show. And I’m not saying Batman was a bad show, its just overrated. Mainly due to the one-and-done type episodes and simplistic art direction. X-men had a continuity and actual backgrounds lol
@#13
Yeah, yeah… I know… “… are like a**holes. We all have one.”
@Two-Bit Specialist – He said best two things
@j-garrett – Slow speech and terrible to decent stories, that’s X-Men, Batman is the best animated show to ever air on TV
@Enigma – Opinions, man.
Like hell it was. And the quality took a dip after season 2…
ah man, I got excited because I Thought gerard had a new article up.
oh and yeah X-Men was better then the batman show.
@AbdulAziz – No one said it was. The ’90s X-Men cartoon was pretty good, for what it was.
X-Men cartoon better than Batman in the 90s? Does not compute
That picture with Spidey looking at the tied up X-Men looks like he’s going to take a whiz on them
This game sucks, nothing helps it look easy in my eyes, nothing helped it, nothing will
I got this game when I was a kid for SNES and I really, REALLY wish I had rented it BEFORE I had it bought. Good God, this game was infuriating. I beat the intro level, the two Spider-Man levels, the first Wolverine level, the first Gambit level (but only twice and I can’t for the life of me remember how I did it), both Storm levels, and both Cyclops levels. Frankly, I find it a frigging miracle I got THAT far into the game. Every time I attempted the second stages for Gambit and Wolverine, though, I was driven nearly to madness and died over and over and over and OVER again. The only saving grace about this game was the awesome soundtrack. It’s still some of the best music I’ve ever heard in a video game. Besides, I was surprised by the lack of X-Men you could play. No Rogue? No Colossus? No Nightcrawler? No Jean Grey? Oy.
On the other hand, as flawed as the “Spider-Man: The Animated Series” game was for SNES – with the HIGHLY flawed web-swinging, the usually useless assistance the Fantastic Four members would give you (only Invisible Woman worked all the time to give you the Spider-Armor suit) and Spidey needing to use two different kinds of GRENADES in battle – it was INFINITELY better than “Arcade’s Revenge”. It had better levels you could BEAT, it had better villains (it had Doc Ock, the Lizard, the Green Goblin, Mysterio, the Rhino, Shocker, Scorpion, Chameleon… pretty much everyone but Electro, Sandman, Kraven, Carnage and Hobgoblin showed up – which is weird, since Kraven, Carnage and Hobgoblin WERE ON THE SHOW), and it had pretty good graphics. Plus, any game that had VENOM as the main villain of the game is pretty cool to me.
Plus, it was pretty darn funny seeing Beetle look like he was having a spasm while plummeting to his death after you knocked him out of the sky. All it took was one use of the Human Torch and watch his arms and legs flail about. Heh heh. 😉
I also found this game frustrating. I also remember the Spider-Man TAS game for the Nintendo being kinda blah.
Something very meta/postmodern about a video game that has Arcade as a character.
Talk about bringing back memories! Loved this game when I was a kid. Hated Storm’s stage though. Then again, I can’t think of a game that had an underwater stage that was fun.
Stuttering Craig!!! 😉
This game was pretty near impossible. The ONLY levels I managed to beat were the intro, the two Spider-Man levels, and the first Wolverine level. All the rest killed me over and over and over again.
Ugh… I did NOT like this game.
