The Mutant Ages

They can't all be winners. "Cold Vengeance" is the first X-Men: The Animated Series episode that Ryan and Maddy would recommend you skip watching. Unless you're hankering to see Wolverine play the white savior role while Sabretooth monologues at a glacier. But, hey, why not save yourself the trouble and let us recap the episode for you instead?

Finally, Storm gets to be in charge of the X-Men's new mission in "Captive Hearts." But first, she'll have to endure Professor X being a huge jerk to her about her PTSD, to Maddy and Ryan's chagrin. Is Professor X ever going to stop treating the X-Men like crap? Seriously, it's like he can't even hear us shouting at him through the screen! Anyway, this episode is all about the Morlocks, an "unsigh...

Professor X is a jerk. Ryan and Maddy keep telling you that, but in this episode, it's really astounding how much of a jerk he is! We've reached X-Men: The Animated Series' fourth episode, "Deadly Reunions," in which two pairs of boyfriends get reunited: Xavier and Magneto, plus Wolverine and Sabretooth. Except there's one little problem with shipping Sabretooth and Wolverine: it might be incest,...

At last, Magneto has arrived to introduce some moral complexity to the world of X-Men: The Animated Series! Maddy liked this episode, but Ryan thought it needed another draft. The show writers went wild with the literary references this time, so get ready for some Shakespeare quotes. This week's spotlight is on Magneto, who has a confusing and contradictory comic book history and is nonetheless on...

X-Men: The Animated Series gets real heavy in the second episode, because our heroes lose one of their own. Ahh, Morph, we hardly knew you! Ryan and Maddy do a spotlight on Morph's comic book history, and then, analyze whether or not Wolverine and Morph were dating. Because we ask the important questions on The Mutant Ages.

Ryan and Maddy's second episode of The Mutant Ages features their first foray into X-Men: The Animated Series, with a big spotlight on Jubilee. Did you know that Jubilee is one of Ryan's favorite X-Men? Anyway, this episode is already way longer than we planned for it to be, so bear with us. We had to analyze the opening credits of the show, okay? Enjoy! Spotlight X-Men: Jubilee E-mail us your fee...

Welcome to the pilot episode of The Mutant Ages! Maddy and Ryan's first step on their journey of watching every animated X-men TV show episode, ever, is Pryde of the X-Men. This TV pilot made in 1989 never ended up getting picked up for a full series. Why not? Let us explain why. Oh, and don't forget: Spider-Man wants you to register to vote!
