The series fizzled to an end. Go to Full Review David Hogan hoganreviews.co.uk 03/19/2024
2/5
The final Season goes out with a whimper rather than a bang thanks to a titanic drop in production quality that drags the stories way down, and the finale is similarly disappointing compared to the original ending we got in Season 4. Go to Full Review Audrey Fox What Culture 07/12/2018
With the mutants in the show consistently being treated with mistrust and hostility, it's easy to see themes of prejudice and intolerance that we deal with in our own society. Go to Full Review Matthew Wells What Culture 07/06/2018
Its success paved the way for future Marvel cartoons, and it is considered to be the greatest X-Men animation of all time. Go to Full Review Ewan Paterson What Culture 07/06/2018
It's got quite the legacy, and, like many of the other shows on this list, I can attest to its success in introducing these characters to a whole new generation. Go to Full Review Ryan Atkinson Cultured Vultures 07/05/2018

Ed R @JustcallmeER Sep 13 Please make it stop. See more Gevorg H @Gevorg 01/22/2025 Final episodes had not-so good drawing and not-so-good character designs See more Carter E 10/02/2024 It’s sad that a good show like this has to end with this season, the season is really forgettable. But the worst thing about this season is that they had to hire a cheap animation studio from the Philippines for the final episodes, they had to make this choice but the final episodes look completely different than the others and they look way worse. See more Wyatt W 03/28/2024 Only good thing about this whole season was Wolverine’s voice actor See more Igor S @Igor_Sena 02/14/2024 This is a classic! If you are watching it today, you might feel like it's outdated in many ways, but if you had been there in the 90's while this was running, this would have been some of the best time you would have had in your childhood. May i also say: best intro for any animated show ever! See more julian p 04/04/2023 In my opinion this is a great season but the cliffhanger should have lead to a season 6 and we definitely show have gotten one but unfortunately we didn't.
