X-Men: Evolution/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Alternate Character Interpretation]]: Many can be seen, just a matter of opinion...

** The Brotherhood as a whole, Are they Ineffectual villains who do try to be bad but are easily outmatched, or are they missunderstood misfits being targetted by the X-Men.

** Scott: was he just trying to be a responsible leader who let his rivalry with Lance get the better of him sometimes, or was he unneedingly hostile to him? We also have his relationships with Jean and and Rogue to consider...

** Were the New Recruits complete idiots who crossed into [[Too Dumb to Live]], or just inexperienced and excited at the prospect of being mutants that they got ahead of themselves a few times?

** The Brotherhood in general have fangirls who find them extremely attractive, [[Fat Bastard|except for Blob]], but like before, more "Criminal misbehavior is sexy than evil is sexy". ([[Double Standard|Unless it's Tabitha, yeah.]](

* [[Fan Dumb]]: Quite a vicious case of it, by no means are they ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender (Animation)|Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'', but certainly quite bad. Mostly from the shipping side, namely, you can't express any interest in any ship without ''someone'' wishing death on you.

** Nearly all fanfics featuring Toad have him paired with Nightcrawler rather than Wanda.

** Not to mention Nightcrawler/Shadowcat. It was mostly a side-effect of [[Platonic Life Partners|porting their relationship from the comics]] to the show.

** Conversly, Brotherhood fans (or just [[Fan Dumb|some fans in general]]) [[Never Live It Down|will never let anything Scott do go without it being seen as somehow evidense that he's a 'jerk']]. You know the scene in the first episode where he pulls a confused face when shaking Kurt's hand when he notices the fuzzy fur and two finger thing? Yeah, some fans claim that he's a jerk because [[Insane Troll Logic|he was disgusted at Kurt's appearence and use that as evidense.]] Not to mention any time he tries to act responsibilly, from telling Kurt to stop playing around concerning his powers to his quite justifiable distrust in the Brotherhood. Because he's a little black and white when it comes to the whole 'hero' thing, that makes him a jerk. How bad was it? A while ago on this very Wiki he was in the [[Animated Series]] page for [[Jerkass]], without actually giving any reason other than a rant about how he's always a jerk in every version of the X-Men and why he's the reason not to join the X-Men, while characters who are much more deserving of such were left out until the very end. Naturally, this was removed, but it still says something that they would leave out things like Pietro derailing a train, Mystique abusing Rogue's mental health, and Duncan Mathews multiple attempted assaults just to bash a guy for not having a sense of humour and being a little boy scoutish.

* [[Jerkass Woobie]]: Mystique. She was a [[Manipulative Bitch]] throughout the entire series, but by the time she realizes the err of her ways in the finale, and begs forgiveness from {{spoiler|her children}} Nightcrawler and Rogue, they've completely lost faith in her, and don't want anything to do with her.

** Amara. Tabitha. [[Romantic Two-Girl Friendship|That's all.]]

* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: Magneto. For this troper, the clincher was {{spoiler|erasing his daughter's memory rather than accepting the damage his own actions caused.}}

** Adding to that, this trope should be renamed 'Jean Grey Was A Bitch' thanks to how badly she gets this. Unlike Xavier, Lance and others, Jean had ''no'' shades of jerkiness, and was easily [[Cool Big Sis|the friendliest character in the show.]] While she does act too perfect, in fact a lot of people who didn't like her cite her being [[Purity Sue|too perfect as the reason]]: she '''did''' have her flaws like everyone else ([[Clingy Jealous Girl|clingy]], passive-aggressive, [[It's All About Me|self-centered]] sometimes, [[Cannot Spit It Out|can't be true to herself and others]] [[Tsundere|about her crush on Scott]], a bit of an [[Attention Whore]]), but she was a good person overall. Unlike Lance, however, this isn't motivated mostly by Die For Our Ship, though ''did'' happen in regards to entitled Scott/Rogue fans: many people hate her and Scott (who also gets this from some corners of the fandom, but not nearly ''as'' badly as Jean) just the same, but most of the fandom hate her for 'being a manipulative bitch and a whore', despite there being ''zero'' evidence to this. As ''much'' she flirted a little with Scott while with Duncan and showed jealousy when her best friend Taryn showed interest in Scott, but there's no real evidence about her cheating.

** The previously mentioned [[Jerkass Dissonance]] of Scott should also be noted. Scott was a bit of a workaholic and didn't have much in the ways of humour, and at times seemed a little hotheaded. The former two were played for laughs while the last was something he shared with a lot of characters. He didn't trust the Brotherhood and Lance in particular, and once told Kurt to stop goofing around. That is, of course, because the Brotherhood often antagonised him, and Kurt's goofing around consisted of him joking about revealing his secret, something that Scott would naturally have an issue with. But, completely ignoring his [[Big Brother Mentor]] like relationship with the others, his dedication to Xavier's cause, his various [[Crowning Moments Of Awesome]], and the fact that, he always apologises for anything wrong he actually does, a lot of fans, especially Brotherhood fans but ocasionally others as well if its shipping related, have gone as far as to declare him a hypocrite or have other characters talk about how much they hate him for being a [[Jerkass]] in fanfics.

** Boom-Boom when she first joined The Brotherhood.

** Iceman, to some, and the New Mutants in general.
