On a childish note, it's also hilarious that Xavier looks like he's got a migraine, and the waves from magneto look absolutely identical to the branding of a popular painkiller (here in the UK anyway, Neurofen. In fact I swear there was an advert that was an Xmen parody, that's probably why!)

Very much so, they work out everything out considerably younger than most people realise anyway, and rapidly work out when they're being given anything dumbed down, I spent my entire childhood bored with crap books, TV and toys that always seemed just slightly tame. Within reason kids just accept stuff, they don't over think things, and unless something is explicitly show or explained, more adult themes go over thier heads. The earlier you can come to terms with all the nasty crap in this world the better! I seem to remember X men being almost a gateway from children's TV to adult TV, perfect format really. I always resented my mum as a kid for not letting me watch X men or power rangers, the "violence" is quite literally comical as an adult! If anything, it's good to have basic human concepts like death and physical violence introduced in an age suitable form to build a healthy attitude towards them. Learning about the ups and downs of the world through stories is as old as language itself. Not being able to watch X men as a kid did make the theme tune even more badass though :D

When it got put on Netflix for the first time, I heard the theme coming from my brothers room and it was like I had been suckerpunched by nostalgia. I legit ran into his room screaming XMEN!!!!!!! :D Never fails to make me feel like a kid again!

I absolutely loved this theme tune as a kid to the point I'd walk around the house humming the little guitar riff to myself when one day my dad asked me why I was humming a Whitney Houston song (Out of character for my music taste at the time) only for me to tell him it was the X-Men theme. I never really paid much attention to the comment until over a decade later when I was an adult the scenario came back to mind. I found out it was actually the vocal melody of the chorus in 'I'm Your Baby Tonight' by Houston that sounds very similar in pattern to the X-Men riff. An amusing discovery.

Christopher Walken: Forget the cowbell...I need more High Hat!

The bell was always what sold it for me. It came as you watched two generals flexing their power while two armies began to clash, but it felt so DIFFERENT because of the bell. You could feel the gravity of the conflict between Professor X amd Magneto, how much it has come to define both men, without reading a single panel of their backstory. That moment, even more so than the synthetic guitar, told you that this wasn't going to be your standard Saturday morning punchy light show. This was X-Men, and you better strap in and hold on to your sugary breakfast cereal of choice.

I used to play violin with my high school string ensemble, and we REGULARLY performed the X-Men theme. It was just that much of a banger that it always got into our setlist.

I think the theme reflects the unapologetic nature of the show bringing the comic book world to the screen. They never tried to ground it or make it make sense, they just showed all these characters and stories and said here it is. The theme and the show were a good match.

Yes. It was a brave show. There were many ways they could have attenuated the Xmen stories, which were really for young adults, not kids, but they didn't, and as a reward the world will remember. Silver Surfer was another example, mature, but missing the Xmen punch that captured the attention of kids.

Fun fact: Ron Wasserman, the composer of the song, also wrote music for the original few seasons of Power Ranger, for VR Troopers, and even the English dub of Dragon Ball Z. He's also done very little else notable since then, which sucks because his music is amazing

When I first listened to this music as a child, I thought, I've never heard something like this; so dramatic & intriguing. I got goosebumps. & the visuals as well, I've never seen a cartoon opening like the X-Men. It was soooooo captivating!

I still have this dream that one day after the Fox/Disney merger is 100% complete, that Marvel Studios will give us another go at the X-Men, properly introduced into the MCU. That at that final scene, before the big ending fight with the villains, as the team is going through their pre-battle warm up; putting on their gear, testing their powers, and assembling for that iconic slow mo march towards the screen, that they play this theme in the movie. Don't put it in the previews. Don't put it in the commercials. Don't hint at it at all. Just start playing the base riff and percussion during the montage, then burst out into that guitar as the team walks toward us in full uniform. And the theater audience explodes in cheer.

This show was part of the MCU before the MCU except it's called the Marvel Animated Universe

I remember waking up for elementary school in the mornings & hearing this on my fathers tv, it brings back memories 😭

Watching it few years back after i'm way beyond cartoon age, woahhhhh: Xavier: "So often in our history unhappy misguided people have created scapegoats, blaming those that are different for the problems in their own lives" Storm: "It is an evil immense hearts that must be fought. If we stand up to the trouble makers they will give up their cruel desires, if we fail their tolerance would grow and many could perish" Beast: "These constant re-crimination are counter productive" Storm: "for every human who gaves in to hate and fear, there are hundreds who are willing to see the truth" Wolverine: "I never thought a super sense of hearing can be so painful" "Didn't anybody ever tell ya, you don't kick a man when he's down" Beast: "The noblest answer unto such, is kindly silence when they brawl - Alfred Tennyson" ----- Magneto: "I shall never understand you Charles" Xavier: "In what way?" Magneto: "Your life would be infinitely easier if mine were to end, yet you saved me" Xavier: "I do not yearn for an easy life Magneto, only a just one, I would take little satisfaction in your death" ----- Wolverine was hurt after being attacked Wolverine: "I... don't... need your... help..." As Colossus say: "Of course not, but you are guest in my country, it is good manner" He picked up Wolverine and run to safety

That's incredible good dialogue. How many cartoon characters quote today Alfred Tennyson? And with meaning? Probably was cheesy, but it was incredible. Talking about discrimination, death, sacrifice, loss, love, hate... It was an incredible good series.

"You said that without a hint of irony posting your comment on a video for a kids tv show lol." So? Watching a video about the theme song for a cartoon doesn't make someone automatically "trapped in [their] childhood" (if it did, then his assertion about you would be correct, since you yourself posted your comment on a video for a kids TV show).

Batman: The Animated Series and Teen Titans also had great opening themes songs! I feel like they all match the tone of their respective series, which makes them work really well. Batman explored dark subject matter, and set a standard for a more introspective titular hero. Teen Titans was exciting, hip, and idiosyncratic (but grounded with a pinch of realness).

This was gold for kids who were different, I only hope the world today has enough (even fantasy) guidance and role models for those who don't fit it. As an adult, I don't think anyone fits in really, we just ignore that it and feel like we belong for whatever reason. But as a kid, you need to know there are people in the same place you are.

I always liked the theme to SWAT Kats, same kinda heavy 90's rock intro too. But if you haven't watched the Japanese opening to X-Men check it out!

I've started looking into the movies again this morning, and just stumbled over this video, recognizing the similarity of the movie soundtrack to this intro. As someone who hasn't watched the 90's animation X-Men, i can only imagine how astonishing it must have been for all those who did, and then entered into the cinemas and watched X-Men in 2000. That must have been great, because it is a great movie even if you didn't knew a lot about X-Men. Wow, how memories and feelings are carrying us through life:-)

It could be a dense forest. Are there forests in Canada? Also, the title card is there to quickly introduce the characters. In Wolvie’s case; a wild animal within a wild setting.

thank you so much for doing this, this show has always meant so much to me and to see that there is so much love still for it. Xmen changed my life an im glad it meant a lot to others as well :)

I watched this video with tears in my eyes and shivers on my skin. I remember when I was a kid and I already new X-Men from the comics, I was expecting some childish cartoon eith dumb stories that wouldn't honor the souce material, because it was what we used to had in comics adaptations at that time. But as soon as the theme song began I was like "I... can't... believe it". This song is as definitve to the X-Men as it is the John Williams theme song to Superman. I think Marvel should use this song when they introduce the mutants to the MCU to maximize the epicness od the moment.

Does the comics justice! I was never really into comics, but I always understood they weren't just for teenagers, far from it! I know some of them delve into deepest philosophical, moral and scientific challenges that humans face (or not as the case may be in parallel universes), it would have been such a shame if they'd have watered it down.

The artwork in pryde of the xmen was a 1,000 times better than anything on fox

I use to work for a bar/seafood restaurant, and every Tuesday we had a trivia night. One night that I was hosting or busing, I forgot which, and I hear the theme coming from the bar. So, I poke my head in and said, " My X-Men senses are tingling!" The bartender looks at me in surprised and asked how did I know. I just simply remembered the the theme. I stuck around a while and named off themes to him as they played, my guess that was the "Theme" for the night (I know Scott appreciates a good pun), but I had to get back to work. He would later confirm most of the ones I named off.

Bro honestly that was an epic video and one of the most enjoyable videos I've watched this year on all of KZread and I'm not saying that lightly. That was one of my favorite cartoons ever. And as my very good friend would say that cartoon in some ways was the Marvel MCU before there was a Marvel MCU. The the amount of Easter eggs from the Marvel Universe in that cartoon was phenomenal. And agreed that score is epic. Good job brother that is one of the best videos I've seen in a long time keep cranking out quality stuff like this. :-)

Pryde of the X-Men was so underrated. It was such a great intro to the X-Men universe.

Just a random comment from a French boy that grew up with this series and that still listen to this opening so many years later. Maybe the best opening ever made for a tv show according to me.
