Sadly Senator Kelly can't be Bert Raccoon this time.

Alyson Court has confirmed she's not coming back as Jubilee and wants the role to be taken by an Asian actress.

Alyson Court has confirmed she's not coming back as Jubilee and wants the role to be taken by an Asian actress. Wasn't it already announced that white people aren't voicing non-white people period anymore? I don't get why there needs to be an individual announcement each time other than the white voice actor trying to make themselves look good. |

Some shows have announced they'll cast race-appropriate voice actors, others have been non-committal. Court has supported the idea for years but has had a lot of "Put up or shut up" comments since the show's announcement, a lot of people telling her she has to come back as Jubilee, and a lot more in the "Who cares if a POC character isn't voiced by a POC?" crowd. I believe this final confirmation was in response to someone in the latter group. |

Alyson's reeeeally not like that and has done a whole lot to advocate for POC talents who've been ignored for years. She wouldn't have said it again if people hadn't been bringing it up again. |

Yep Alyson is just trying to show she's for real and not a JK Rowling: an ally in disguise |

So I'm assuming Loonette the Clown will finally be outed as a mutant then?

Funny, I never knew Jubilee was Asian until doing more research. Doesn't come across on the original series at least.

And Alyson Court's ex-husband is Japanese and they share a son who is obviously half-Japanese so her perspective about representation is not about "looking good". It's actually personal for her. |

I'm mostly interested in if they will try to capture the actual look of the old show in design and animation.

Was there ever a reason as to why the animation style changed in the later seasons of the OG show?

Was there ever a reason as to why the animation style changed in the later seasons of the OG show? It was around the time Marvel were nearing bankruptcy, so Saban took over funding on a tiny budget and farmed out the animation to a couple of budget animation studios, which is somewhat ironic, given that AKOM, the studio producing the animation for earlier seasons, was at the time generally known as the studio you use when you needed shows done as cheaply as possible. |

Started binging this in anticipation.
Gonna do all those 90's Marvel cartoons. I don't care what people say now, when they were made they were intended to be one universe.
Always wanted b to watch these. Saw a bunch of episodes of the various series as a teen but haven't seen every episode and certainly not in order.

The cartoon had nothing that identified her as asian that I can remember. And the Generation X tv movie had an actress that was not asian at all. |

I hope they work in some of the characters who weren't core characters more often like Nightcrawler. It'll be interesting to see where they get their inspiration for stories as well since at the time X-men was relatively unprecedented for just how much it stayed true to many of the comics.
