I think its a bit of an apples and oranges thing, although I will have
to say I do NOT miss the colors used on the original X-Men cartoon. It
did stay closer to the original characters and storylines, and would
sometimes soar to great eloquence, particularly with Nightcrawler and
Magneto. I also believe there was a greater sense of adventure and of
the possible, with fewer constraints.

I think Evo was developed with a real passion and sense of love for
the X-Men franchise, and great care was taken to develop real, fully
rounded characters with strong echoes to the original franchise. I
feel like I went to high school with half the cast, to be honest, they
were just that real to me. The stories are quite efficient at serving
character and plot development: often a look or exchange of glances
replaces what could have been 15 or 20 seconds of exposition, or a few
words spoken ~in a certain way~ hint at a deeper store of content. You
see this in the Xavier/Wolverine discussion on Captain America in
"Operation Rebirth" or the Scott/Rogue dialog in the coffee shop in
"On Angel's Wings", for example.
