25 years ago today was the Sneak Preview of the X-Men 'Night of the Sentinels.' I still have my VHS of the original airing, which has a few differences in color/dialogue/scenes. Here's a clip from my copy with some dialogue that was removed after this first airing, as well as Beetlejuice's sign-off for the episode: https://www.instagram.com/p/Ba7YFoegTtS

The acting could be absurdly hammy, the stories convoluted, and even the animation choices more than a little dubious, but this...
..this will always be my X-Men. For a decade that was very mixed for the team in terms of the comics, the series still remains enjoyable and distilled a lot of complicated plots into enjoyable episodes. Considering it and the 90s Spider-Man were more or less introducing to concept of continuous story arcs to American animated television for the first time, its a credit to the writing that it turned out as well as it did.

While it's not my favorite iteration of X-Men, I still have fond memories of watching this show every Saturday morning. I always got pumped when Colossus or Nightcrawler guest starred.

Still one of my favorite Saturday morning shows ever. The X-Men were basically my entry into superhero comics as a kid, even before Superman, Spider-Man and the like.

Still my favourite of all the x-men cartoons and the beyond good and evil arc is still IMO the best set of episodes in the shows entire run.

Without this show, I probably wouldn't have gotten into comics. So many great memories.

I loved the show as a kid but wow has it aged terribly. You really think so? Animation aside, the story archs and voice work really hold up.

This cartoon is the reason I read comics to this day (Batman TAS was not long after though).
I still love this cartoon (Warts and all) and lets not forget that f***ing intro

So little known fact, if Avengers: United they Stand had gotten a second season, it would've included a crossover with X-Men: TAS.

"REMOVE SENATOR KELLY'S BRAIN AND REPLACE IT WITH A COMPUTER!" This cartoon is the reason I read comics to this day (Batman TAS was not long after though). I still love this cartoon (Warts and all) and lets not forget that f***ing intro I love that intro for how well it sets up the world they live in and giving all of the main characters a title card, damn, that's really well done.

Love this show.
It's not as tightly scripted as Batman TAS but it is still fantastic.
