Didn't finish the first episode, as I was hoping for a continuation but realized this is just what the creator wished the 90s version had been. Cyclops is featured front and center, and we even get the cheesy exposition "I'm the hero".
Wolverine is handled clumsily, and almost assuredly won't get the precision and care that made us fall in love with Wolverine in the 90s. He does have claws and an accent, but is clearly not the charismatic love interest for Jean Grey, nor the moral center of the team.
Morph is back, which was my first hint this was a rewrite. At least Storm is still awesome. That's something they got right in both animated versions, but fell short in most live action.
Also, Professor X is dead? Hopefully it's a fake death, for a dramatic introduction later, but I'm not so eager to get there. Think I'll just rewatch the 90s version.
