X-Men - Evolution, the Complete 3rd Season, continues the adventures of the teenage versions of the X-Men. Season 3’s first episode, “Day of Recovery,” picks up immediately where Season 2’s “Day of Reckoning, Fragment 2″ left off. After a frenetic battle with Magneto and the giant Sentinel robot and with mutanthood having been outed on the media, the X-Men must now deal with the aftermath of an Xavier’s Institute in ruins and team members quiet being held captive in Plot 51. Magneto is possibly listless and the X-Men have objective discovered that Mystique had been posing as Professor X. Things have definitely taken a momentous turn as the X-kids now must deal with mutant bigotry by the public, and the hostility and prejudice of their “normal” high school peers. The Brotherhood of Mutants certainly don’t aim to effect things easy for their rivals. Events also lead to the return of the passe, all-powerful mutant, Apokalypse. On a personal level, Scott and Jean become even more cessation, and Toad grows ever fonder of the scornful Scarlet Witch (ie: Wanda kicks him and Toad replies with “Oww, the scrumptious distress of l’amour”; well, that’s cherish, baby) . Spyke and Rogue also go thru their absorb personal wringers here, and Mystique is again a major player.

It only took me the first episode of Season One to pick up attractive comfortable with the revamped X-Men, although, as the seasons went on, it was quiet a bit unsettling to consider of Colossus, Gambit, and the Scarlet Witch as semi-villains. While I wouldn’t go as far as to call the belief of casting most of the X-Men as teens a stroke of genius, it’s certainly a intelligent and hip, demographically savvy fade on someone’s share. Watching the straight arrow Cyclops, the self-assured Jean Grey, the skittish and glum Rogue, and the blue fuzzy elf Nightcrawler go thru their high school angst makes for an toothsome change of promenade. Throw into the mix the adult instructors Prof. X, Wolverine, Beast, and Storm, and there’s definitely a original synergy in the team dynamics. Plus, in this series, there’s no worship triangle amongst Scott, Jean, and Logan (which might be a reliable or dreadful thing, depending on who you’re rooting for) . With a cast as huge as this one, it’s only natural that short thrift be given to peripheral characters. Collected, it’s fun to secure glimpses of young Multiple Man, Magma, Sunspot, Cannonball, etc. Some of the best scenes in the season fervent our mutant students using their powers to rebuild the demolished school. And I got a broad kick out of “Mutant Ball,” the X-Men’s version of baseball. One of my current characters is the grotesque, unpleasant, yellow-toothed, but hilarious Toad, and several episodes are dedicated to him and his continuing crush on the disinterested Wanda.
It continues to puzzle me as to why the earlier seasons don’t have a complete season dvd. But, at least, they, more or less, did upright with this season. The Special Features on this 2-disc collection include “Cerebro’s Mutant Files: The X-Men - Heroes” - a file on the X-Men instructors, the Angel, and the Morlocks; “Cerebro’s Mutant Files: The Acolytes - Villains” - a file on Magneto and his acolytes (Sabertooth, Gambit, Colossus, Pyro, Mastermind) ; an “X-Men Season 3: X-Posed” segment; and a semi-amusing “Mystique’s Trivia Challenge” (Mystique is definitely not a congenial game display host) .

This series contains fine animation. Instead of typical, tiring, fisticuffs heroics, the writers and animators creatively incorporate the best usage and combination of each mutant’s powers to craft frenetic, highly diverting, and immensely watchable action/fight sequences.

As for the special features -
Mutant Files - they’re your standard inform who’s who of the heroes and villains, and it’s a hurry down of everyone. The watcher doesn’t fetch to retract which character to peruse up, you earn eveybody all at once.
X-posed - this is mostly about how they came up with X-23 and that it spawned it’s enjoy humorous after the fact.
Trivia Challenge - you don’t bag to consume your answers, Mystique justs asks the questions and then tells you the answers…a let down in my conception.
My well-liked episodes from this season are -
Self Possessed - it’s the one where Rouge touches Mystique and starts becoming all of the personalities that she has absorbed, physically and mentally.
Cruise Control - it’s about the group on vacation saves an Island from a volcano’s eruption and being praised/accepted for it instead of being feared/hated.
