... Did you guys see the trailer for "X-Men: Apocalypse" a few months before the Holidays? - I know, old news, right? - I am late for EVERYTHING...It sucks. BUT - Enough with the self-deprecation because that is NOT what this post is about. This post is about my favorite Marvel Comic Book Characters:
The X-Men.
I am a HUGE X-Men fan - Always have been actually; they were my comic book of choice as a child and I even remember dressing up with my Sister and running around our back yard pretending to be Wolverine, Cyclops or Gambit - My Sister would either be Jean Grey - Or, her favorite, Rouge. We had these yellow and blue cellulose triacetate and polyester Nike warm-up jackets (...so late 80's, early 90's) that allowed us to play our parts to perfection in our minds.
Good times had by all.
The other really cool thing about the X-Men was the Saturday Morning cartoon that ran in the early 1990's - IT WAS AWESOME - The graphics always seemed a little odd but it stuck true to the canon of the comics and the main antagonist, Apocalypse, was a total bad ass.
... Of course, I am not the only fan that felt this way and the 1990 Cartoon has a rather large cult-following - So, it is really no surprise to me that someone re-cut the dialogue from the latest "X-Men: Apocalypse" trailer, dubbed-it over shots from the 90's Cartoon and posted it to www.youtube.com - AND - Since I am just that kind of guy, here it is...From me to you:

Pretty cool, huh?
Remember what I said about the 1990's Cartoon having a huge cult-following? - Well it honestly still holds true to this day. There is an Animator who has taken a whole year off of work to create and produce an unauthorized and re-imagined short animated series on YouTube and his own www.facebook.com account - His name is Joe Furtado and the series is titled "X-Men : Danger Room Protocols" and you can find more information here on Facebook:

Problem is...Last I read Marvel had shut him down - Se la vie.
