'' X-Men : Evolution '' has received mostly positive reviews from critics and is constantly hailed as one of the best superhero animated series of all time . According to IGN , the show aired " much to X-fans ' initial protests and lamentations . " RPGnet enjoyed '' Evolution '' 's second season , hailing it as the show 's " transition season . " An improvement over the show 's first season " in every way , " '' X-Men : Evolution '' , according to RPGnet , '' '' " introduc ed many ... re-imagined characters from X-Men lore that will certainly entertain the X-Men fans , " specifically Beast and Principal Kelley . However , RPGnet wrote , " Some episodes could easily be cut out of the show and they would not be missed , " describing the dialogue as " atrocious at times " and some of the characters as " very one dimensional . " Positively , Fred Choi of '' The Tech '' hailed '' X-Men : Evolution '' as " the best incarnation of X-Men yet , " admitting that " There are a few changes which will send purists howling in the streets . " However , Choi acknowledged that " The students generally have abilities more powerful than they ever had in the comics , " specifically mentioning intangible Shadowcat and telekinetic Jean Grey . While praising the show 's animation and music – " cleaner than the original series " – Choi described the transformation of Rogue " into a reclusive goth chick " as " completely baffling but surprisingly palatable . " Noting the show 's treatment of its characters , specifically making them high school teenagers for thematic purposes as " admirable , " John G. Nettles of PopMatters concluded , " What disappoints , however , is the sheer number of missed opportunities here and the decision to subscribe to the same old social norms . " Reviewing '' X-Men : Evolution '' 's third season , Filip Vukcevic of IGN was mixed in his analysis , deeming it inferior to '' X-Men : The Animated Series '' and concluding , " '' Evolution ... '' will interest long-time X-fans , but the fluffy stories and underutilized character personalities ... will cause discerning viewers to zone out , " suffering from its attempt " to cram everyone in . " Additionally , the author felt that '' Evolution '' lacks the " visual flair " of '' The Batman '' and the " wit " of '' Teen Titans '' . The author also panned the series ' " average " voice acting , feeling that Magneto , Wolverine and Beast were " miscast . " However , he positively noted that , combined with " inventive gags , " " the show does its best to make the most of the mutants ' powers " because " The fight scenes are fun to watch if only to see how the characters interact . " '' X-Men : Evolution '' won the award for '' Outstanding Sound Mixing – Special Class '' at the 28th Daytime Emmy Awards , on May 18 , 2001 and won the award for '' Outstanding Sound Editing – Live Action and Animation '' at the 30th Daytime Emmy Awards , on May 16 , 2003
