X-mark
It’s time to “X-mark the spot” again। Marvel’s mightiest mutants with a dream for peaceful co-existence with humanity are back in the animation world once more with the launching of “Wolverine and the X-men”. Yes, mutant fanatics, this is a brand new animated TV series that helped catapulted these fictional superheroes to stardom from comicbooks to blockbuster trilogy movies that jumpstart the new trend for superhero filmmaking.
With a brand new plot, new adventures, new battles and conflicts to face, the ever-popular superhero mutants are back looking better, tougher and cuter than ever. This is a different take on the X-men history and storyline since it featured Wolverine, the most popular mutant as the team’s fearless leader. His decisions and visions will influence the new generation of X-men in uniting and standing from countless obstacles. Wolvie will lead the team from the ruins and will even encourage Cyclops to rebuild their dreams from the ashes of Professor Xavier and Jane Grey who were both mysteriously disappeared in the pilot episode. With a new addition of dynamic mutant members such as Emma Frost (former villain White Queen), Angel and a lot more, this mind-blowing animated series will surely become another pop culture in animation celebrated by a powerful storytelling, visual style and perspective. Frankly speaking, this is a direct promotion of the upcoming X-men spin-off film showing on May 1, 2009 entitled “X-men Origins: Wolverine” which stars Hugh Jackman and support cast from new characters such as Deadpool, Gambit, Silverfox and other characters. The movie will deal mainly with Logan’s past before he was injected with adamantium bones and prequel to the X-men storyline. Rumor suggested that this would be the first of a three X-men spin-off film, the others that follows include X-men First Class/Young X-men and X-men Origins: Magneto. But whatever the future holds, we can assure that this superhero team will remain an icon and a great influence to the rise of our dream, as Kuris Animators. So, we hope you enjoy reading the plot of the animated series taken from www.wikipedia.com. Well, use your initiative to surf the net or check youtube.com for previews of Wolverine and the X-men. Believe us, it would rocks your world! Plot summary After the mansion explodes, apparently due to an attack targeted at telepaths, Professor Charles Xavier and Jean Grey are missing. The X-Men disband and Scott begins to suffer from depression. One year later, the MRD (Mutant Response Division) is starting to contain mutants causing Wolverine and Beast to get the X-Men back together. Emma Frost is able to locate a comatose Charles on Genosha in the care of Magneto. Professor X contacts the X-Men telepathically from twenty years into the future and informs Wolverine that he is to lead the X-Men if they wish to successfully save the world from The Sentinel Project and prevent the Brotherhood of Mutants from taking over the world before the future ends up a bad one.[1]
