>>29957The 90s X-men was and imo still is pretty cool. It's all over the place, and it doesn't have that Joss Whedon/Brian Micheal Bendis "that just happened!" type shit undercutting it at every turn. Every character gets their own storyline and they're all unique and weird.
Gambit has to go back to the bayou to deal with a turf war between thieves and assassins guilds arbitrated by some kind of magic swamp goddess?
Wolverine is a human weapon cooked up by a secret Canadian weapons program that also runs a superhero team that has among other things a sasquatch and a woman that can turn into a bird.
Jubilee has to deal with being hunted by giant robots engineered by government funded anti gay rights programs that go rogue and intend to kill all humans because everyone is a little bit gay.
Professor X and his terrorist boyfriend get trapped on fucking dinosaur island which turns out to be the terrorist's old summer home before he got bored and decided to move to space and the craziest thing isn't that dinosaurs exist but that dracula took up the lease for the place.
Oh by the way aliens are real and the most boring and useless member of the team is actually the reincarnation of their all powerful fire goddess and also Cyclop's dad is one of their most wanted criminals and also Xavier makes out with their hot alien queen.
And it also prominently features fascists, racists, and general bigots getting their shit clocked on the reg which is pretty great.
