X-Men: Evolution/YMMV: Difference between revisions

'''Lance''': ''Hey Kitty, you wanna see some real shaking?'' }}

** A lot of Lance's dialog comes off as this because of all his rock puns.

* [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment]]: The completely out of nowhere music [[Montages|montage]] in 'the "Sirens of Bayville" episode.

* [[BLAM Episode]]: Said episode, ''Walk On The Wild Side'', counts for some people - it comes off as an [[Anvilicious]] "feminism" episode where the writers just wanted to preach about men not gloating about how girls are lucky to get saved by them, coupled with some OOC behaviour (seriously, why would Kitty, Jean or Amara wear those black leather outfits?) Since it's filler, though, people who dislike it tend to simply ignore its presence.

* [[Broken Base]]: The fans can't decide wether or not Iceman was funny or stupid.

** That's okay, neither could the writers.

* [[Chronic Hero Syndrome]]: Scott. When he sees people in trouble, he does what he can, whether or not its smart or safe, to help them. Xavier actually tells him that this risked revealing mutants to the world because he ''has'' to save people.

** Avalanche, in a strange twist. Avalanche isn't even a good guy, in fact he on several ocasions caused a large amount of trouble and property damage. However, as [[Character Development|he developed]], he lost the ability to sit back and let people get killed, even if those who were in danger had been unintentionally (And when they realized, they didn't care) framing him and were putting themselves in danger for fun, and would go out of his way to save them.

* [[Evil Is Sexy]]: Mystique, naturally.

** 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-Preferred Couple]]: Rogue and Cyclops. There was a lot of [[Ship-to-Ship Combat]] in the series, but this was by far the less debated pairing compared to what actually became canon (Cyclops and Jean).

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

*** Re: Nightcrawler and Cyclops. In the "Evan with a camera" episode, Evan says, "Scott's pretty stiff, but Kurt usually takes care of that." Can't make this up.

**** Let's not forget the scene where, {{spoiler|after the mansion is destroyed and characters have to share rooms,}} Scott and Kurt emerge from their bedroom with Scott being covered in Kurt's fur.

* [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain]]: The Brotherhood, probably the reason they're so popular. Also probably the reason the Acolytes were introduced, to show ''real'' villainy. Each B-hooder has their levels, but probably the most inefectual and sympathetic is Toad.

* [[Jerkass Dissonance]]: The entire Brotherhood get this. No one cares that Pietro stole and abused his friendship with Evan just for the sake of it, Evan's just a douche for not liking him! It doesn't matter that Avalanche purposely wrecked two training sessions, Scott should trust him! The others get this as well, but Lance could start a riot or destroy a school and possibly killing hundreds of people aged 14-17 and no one would notice-Wait! Lance ''did'' do that! Pietro could derail a train and leave it derailed and allow the whole town to be blown up-Wait! He ''did'' do that!

** Logan ''avoids'' this, as aposed to previous versions, as he gets less screen time than usual. However, he does get the most merchandise focus in the show, so...

** If they don't complain about her with [[Double Standard]] reasons, the more sane fans will criticise Tabitha for taking up too much screentime. During the second season, she certainly did appear more than a lot of characters.

* [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot]]: At the end of an episode where they find out that contact with a new sports drink can harm mutants, {{spoiler|the creator of the drink promises Professor X to stop selling the drinks. But when Prof. X leaves, the creator gets out his phone and calls someone to tell them about it, with obvious malicious intent toward mutants}}. But it never goes anywhere and we never hear about it again. This, along with a few lose plot threads found in the fourth season, could probably be atributed to Marvel deciding to axe the series.

** Several plots and ideas were left hanging, including-but-not-limited-to [[What Could Have Been|Jean becoming the Phoenix and the debut of Mister Sinister]], or {{spoiler|the David/Legion plot}}, Gambit & Colossus potentially joining the X-Men... Heck, the last season was only ''9 episodes long''.
