Wolverine and the X-men

[Alchemist-X]

A new Cartoon, as titled in my title is 'in the works' far enough alone that there have been advertisements appearing in comics and comic related sources.

so I gotta say, wtf.

I like Wolverine, I do, and he is essentially the most popular X-man, but Wolverine and the X-men? that seems a bit much does it not?

It could have been worse. What about "Wolverine and his uncanny friends" ?
In these days Wolvie seems to be considered the core of the XM more than Xavier or anyone else... but as long as the others don't look like his sidekicks in the cartoon, it might still be enjoyable.

But the title already implies they will all be side-kicks, this project give me a really bad feeling for some reason.

I hate Wolverine

[Engage]

I grew up in the 90s. I watched the X-Men cartoon and loved it. But honestly? When you're ten years old the coolest X-Men are Wolverine and Gambit. A cartoon focusing on Wolverine with the other X-Men thrown in for good measure is exactly what kids are looking for. Hell, it's exactly what I'm looking for.

When you strip away the parts of Wolverine that comics play up (the killing people, the extremely confusing continuity, the constant appearances) and get to the parts that the cartoon will probably play up (the claws, the healing, the awesomeness) the show could be great. A focus on Wolverine would make it an explosion filled action cartoon. I'm thinking of something like the good parts of The Batman. Not as good as a DCAU show, but perfectly fun in its own right.
