Wolverine and the X-Men (2008–2009)
7/10
An underrated animation

For me, "Wolverine and the X-Men" was a quite underrated animated series, which certainly deserved much more success than it got. I mean, this series at least deserved to have another season, but sadly it was cancelled too soon, despite having a high level of quality, good animation (With neat designs, predating the same aesthetic that future series like The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes) In this series, unlike all the other previous "X-Men" animated shows, Wolverine was the center of attention (Clearly due the influence of the first three live action movies) However, the Wolverine from this series had a different personality that his other incarnations, being much more mature in less impulsive, behaving a paternal way towards the other X-Men. However, I don't consider that to be something bad, since the character remained being cool. On the other side, the Cyclops from this series was much more impulsive and aggressive.

In this series Wolverine and Cyclops seem to have switched roles with Cyclops as the brooding loner and Wolverine as the responsible leader…I guess that was the main reason of why this didn't get all the popularity that it deserved. And that is shame, because this was a good series with lot of potential.
