Astonishing X-Men: Gifted, Episode 1

I read the comic books in the past and LOVED them. My favorite run of X-Men ever. This motion comic, although odd and creepy at first, is a great compliment to the comic books. It takes some time to get used to the animation, but it's worth it if you stick with it and watch all six episodes. I wish they would do the entire run.

I despise this animation!

Leave it up to Joss to gay up the x-men. I can spot his crappy teen girl dialogue ne where. His work is so lame its actually painful and embarassing to watch. For the sake of humanity please retire and stop with the idiotic plots and dumb azz dialogue that no human on earth would ever speak, not to mention that every single charater in ur work speaks exactly the same and are one dimensional cliches.

Why does beast look like a giant blue crookshanks(hermiones cat from harry potter)?

it's true; while it's been a few years since i've read the comics, what had happened was something called a "Second Mutation." Beast's second mutation was *that* and White Queen--you may remember her from the Hellfire Club--gained that ability you mentioned, to turn her skin diamond hard. i don't know, for example, who gets a second mutation and how.
i'm surprised they haven't come out with more motion comics; maybe it was an experiment? if it's free, man, i'll dig it.

if you already have the comics then watching this show is redundant, but it's as close as we'll ever come to a print-quality X-Men cartoon. i could never get into the shows since they were always detached from the comic universe and kiddy/nonviolent. it's a good canon story by Joss Whedon himself, man i love his writing. i like the voices, and the animation can be impressive and awkward, but it's not pretending to be something it's not. since it's been a while since i read my stash, it's a good revisit.

what made me post this review is i wanted to say how cool the music in the end credits is. if they could release the music it would be awesome.

Motion comics? I would have called them "Wiggle Pictures!" Or maybe "Jiggle-Mation!" Anyways, it's good to see the characters we love in a more adult oriented story here on Hulu. I'd rather see full motion animation, but motion comics have officially redeemed themselves to me this time. This is way better than the other motion comics I've seen here. Good job, keep it coming!

Tags are keywords or category labels that can help you and others find videos on Hulu. They also classify videos for later recall. You can tag videos yourself by simply checking the box next to a popular tag for a video or by using the "add" field to create a new tag. Click on any tag — "comedy" for example — to discover other videos similarly tagged by you or other users. Because tags are reviewed by Hulu, there may be a delay in surfacing your tags. The most relevant tags are sorted by category for the rest of Hulu to see. You may assign up to 30 tags for any video or show; to review all of your tags, see the Tags section on your profile page.

Your tags may be visible to other users on Hulu. You should not use:

Profane or obscene language
Tags that are inciting or spiteful
Tags that might harass, abuse or threaten members of the community
