BTW, I had no problem with the X-Men cartoon of the 90s. (That theme music!) And trust me, I read the same comics you did. Yes, it could be cheesy and melodramatic--but let's face it, Claremont's stories were never studies in realism.
Even though it varied from the source material, the cartoons were generally well plotted and there was plenty of great superhero action.
I agree that Jean Grey was a bit of a drip compared to the comics version... but I liked Cyclops here! He was the solid field leader, the rock of the group. (He was a nice contrast to professional angst machines like Wolverine!)
Speaking of Marvel cartoons, I would highly recomnend Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur on Disney. Try it and let me know what you think.
