Things Only Adults Notice In X-Men: The Animated Series
X-Men: The Animated Series dazzled '90s viewers with action, drama, and real-world storytelling. So sophisticated is this cartoon, in fact, that a whole lot of it goes over kids' heads. We're here to explore those details aimed straight at X-Men's older audience.
Disenfranchised people have long seen themselves in the X-Men, and the creators behind the animated series knew how important it was to respect that. As writer Julia Lewald told Vulture,
"[Fox was] very conscious of making the show inclusive without being intrusive about it."
The show's interest in diversity extended beyond the main cast, as well. Bishop, a Black mutant from the future, was one one of the show's most memorable guest characters. Racism is also handled head-on. In the episode One Man’s Worth, the team is forced to deal with a racist who confronts Storm and Wolverine when he sees them holding hands. The series also doesn't shy away from powerful women, allowing Rogue, Storm, Jean Grey, and others to dazzle on screen. This was accomplished in part by deliberately hiring more female writers.
X-Men is even relatively progressive where gender identity is concerned. Consider the actions of shapeshifters such as Morph and Mystique, who often change gender to flirt with the opposite sex.
