Radioactive people: The beginning Before the cult animated series in 1992, there was the first attempt to launch the project, but it did not collect positive reviews and more served as a pen breaker. The cartoon gives a screensaver listing the team of Professor Xavier and the plot leads Kitty Pride to a school for gifted people. In "X-Men" (1992-1997) will be introduced Jubilee.
While the viewer was just getting acquainted with mutants, and the writers wanted to intrigue so much that they crammed a very large segment of events into 20 minutes of timing. Here we have the representation of Charles’ students in the training room, and the demonstration of abilities, and the brotherhood of evil mutants led by Magneto, and several fights between mutants, and quite extensive locations of action.
In a short period of time, Xavier’s message is conveyed to the audience that the X-Men stand on the side of people, despite the enmity of citizens towards representatives of the next stage of evolution. We are immediately shown the evil plans of Magneto and the impossibility of people against his forces. If in the series of the 90s, some elements were revealed in the seasons, then the director of Pride simply laid out all the cards at once. The idea is interesting, but due to the small timekeeping, rich events occur rapidly. Here epic stretched, or we have mutants do not rest: immediately after one fight we go to another.
A clear demonstration of the team’s abilities. Yes, it was everywhere, but when there are many characters and time is short, then each mutant is given a few seconds in the episode to show his powers - such a coordinated work destroys the individuality of the person. The series is intriguing with the plot, despite the layering, but after the climax you ask the question: what would they come up with next? How do you keep the bar in the story now? If you showed the scale and epic, and in the next series begin to reveal the mutants separately, the script will sag, and the viewer will be disappointed.
In general, as an introduction to the general story of mutants, we were shown the main motives of the heroes, the fight with enemies, the destructive power. Typical story building for a superhero.
