33 Years Ago Today, Marvel Changed the Future of the X-Men Forever and Planted Major MCU Seeds

As a huge fan of animation and comics, I remember when X-Men: The Animated Series first came out – it was a total game-changer! It wasn’t just a kids’ show; it really dove into the complicated stories from the comics, telling them over multiple episodes. It got so many people hooked on the X-Men, turning them into household names. Seeing how popular the cartoon became, 20th Century Fox – who owned the movie rights since ’94 – finally decided a live-action X-Men movie could actually be a huge hit.
