Nickelodeon and Marvel?; X-Men and Iron Man

Well, more recently Nickelodeon has begun two new series: Wolverine and the X-Men, and Iron Man: Armored Adventures.

I've seen all the episodes of Wolverine, and about one of Iron Man. They're both very good series, actually. But I'm confused...

Wolverine and the X-Men, despite having a bit of a different story, reasonably closely follows the original X-Men, matching it up fairly good. I mean, they've changed some things, but... it's true to the original, you know?

As for Iron Man: Armored Adventures... not so much. In this show, Tony Stark is a teenager, his father just died, and he's working as a superhero with the help of his friends.

I'm just confused because they take two Marvel series and turn them into shows, but take completely different approaches to them. While I'll grant that having Tony Stark as he was originally might not make for a show that would be terribly appealing to kids, it kind of defeats the point of it being Iron Man. It's also strange because they borrow the appearance and powers that Iron Man had in that live action movie for the series, and he was an adult in that movie.

Thoughts?

This is true
Um, I looked up the Iron Man series only because the band I'm currently into does the theme song, and a rather good job of it too.

As for X-men, I've only seen parts of the first movie and hope to see them all soon, life just keeps getting in the way. >.<'

Oh, I see. I heard the Iron Man theme song just yesterday. It's quite good. ^_^

You mean the three part series opening?

Ironman has always been my favorite Superhero since the game for the PS1 called Marvel Super Heroes came out. Ironman and War Machine can sooooo much but its ridiculous. P-P-P-PROTON CANNON baby!!!! Ironmans got superior attack and his only weakness is his little drinking problem >_> . You can't doubt him and just think hes strong but his smarts equal batmans. He knows what hes doing and has his money to back him up. So if you look at it hes like Marvels Batman on steroids :lol:. So when I saw the art style of the Nick version I already had doubts. Now after listening to what you told me I already hate it.

That new X-Men is alright. I've seen it before on another cartoon channel though. I don't like most of the suits the people have in this version but still its pretty good. I loved the Hulk vs. Wolverine episode more then anything.
